AUSPICIOUS ART Few things work as well as hanging meaningful art to bring the the new chi energy for your home. For the new year, look for something bright and colorful. My secret passion is creating images, designing and playing with colors and for years I've indulged myself with paints. ART is a hobby I believe bring plenty of good fortune especially when the lines drawn are strong and the color mixes are auspicious. Check out the twelve animal signs ... as well as the very meaningful golden mountains.
BASIC BLUE The color of water to reflect the power of the years heavenly stem. To wear or to display, this is the color that will produce the much needed new growth that will make such a great difference to your jump start luck! Wear all shades of blue or scatter blue cushions in your living spaces.
CHAMPAGNE & CAKES A great year to celebrate with sweet and fizzy energy. Hold lots of parties to generate yang buzz. Celebrate anything and have friends and family into the home to get the chi moving!
DRAGON BABIES Did you know that a Dragon addition brings fresh new luck for your family? Especially lucky for those of you born in the years of the Snake, the Rooster, the Rat, the Monkey and also the Rabbit ... each of you has a special affinity with this celestial creature.
EIGHT The number to magnify all your good fortune. This is the number of the current flying star period and more! It is also the sign of infinity, the number of strength and winning. Display things in multiples of 8 and incorporate this number into your daily life ... or get the sign of 8 activated with water in your Western corner!
FIRE ENERGY Bring FIRE element energy into your surroundings to make up for the lack of Fire this year. This alone will help you make gains on the stock market and bring good harvest to those of you in business. Good Harvests equate to good profits.
GODS OF WEALTH EVERY tradition and culture has their own WEALTH GODS whose presence in the home generate wealth luck. The Taoist Gods of Wealth are very popular and are best brought into the home on the first day of the Lunar New Year. In 2012, it is recommended that the God of Wealth enter the home on the third day of Chinese New Year. The Buddhist Gods of Wealth are the Yellow, White and Black Dzambhalas, each holding a jewel spouting mongoose! This year, the wealth direction and location is the WEST.
HANGING WIND CHIMES It is incredibly vital to hang special six or 8 rod wind chimes in the NORTHWEST sector of all homes in 2012. This will strengthen the energy of the patriarch - especially if you get the sun and moon wind chimes that invoke the power of the Sun God and the Moon Goddess to cast an auspicious cloak of protection on the head of the household during the year. This keeps the Patriarch safe from the violent star of the year.
INK ON YOUR BODY Get Dragon Tattoo inked onto your right arm to capture the power of this magnificent creature. Best is a frolicking Dragon amongst the waves to simulate the presence of water.
JAZZING UP YOUR LOVE LIFE Take advantage of the flower of romance star this year - wear red to attract a new love in to your life. Drape the scarf with the popularity amulet around your neck to increase your attractiveness - pink for girls, blue for guys!
KHENG HUA This is the flower of Heaven, white in color with yellow stamens and is extremely fragrant. This succulent cactus-like flower blooms at midnight and when it flowers it brings extremely good fortune. In 2012 a blooming kheng hua brings something big associated with one of your children. Great wealth is indicated.
LO SHU NUMBERS OF THE YEAR The dominant chi number of the year is 6, the number of the patriarch and of Heaven energy. This also means that the North/South axis is ruled by the numbers 1 and 2, which spell victory amidst a vulnerability to sickness and injury for those living in North/South facing and sitting houses. The East/ West axis is a lot more auspicious being blessed by the 4 and 8 star numbers, bringing a great deal of health, wealth and happiness luck to houses with this orientation.
MOUNTAIN Make sure you have the support of mountain energy in 2012. Sit with something solid and stable behind you. Easy ways to tap in to lucky mountains are to place paintings of mountains behind you. A golden mountain is excellent, while three mountain peaks signify honor and pride brought to you from your sons.
NORTHWEST This direction is the place which signifies leaders. Unfortunately it is very afflicted this year, bringing danger to Patriarchs and people in authority. The year also indicates significant change in leadership in many countries caused both by uprisings and election results. To survive the year, patriarchs and leaders should place YIN WATER or an image of Blue Elephant and Rhino in the Northwest of their homes.
ORANGE TREE This is extremely auspicious place near the entrance of the home during the 15 days of the lunar New Year. Its presence brings wealth luck because the word "kum" for orange also sounds like the word for "gold". Better to have a pair than a single tree!
PHOENIX This year, the luck of the Phoenix makes an appearance in the West. Often depicted in Chinese mythology as the mate of the mighty dragon, the Phoenix activates the luck of opportunity. In 2012, the Phoenix presence activates the auspicious energies of your West walls and West-located rooms.
Queen Go to London and celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of the world's longest resigning. Queen to absorb her amazing good vibrations. The Queen is also a favored symbol of good fortune in the cosmic mandala. An incredible program of cerebration is surely being planned, so enjoy!
RED STRING Signifies FIRE element energy which is miming in 2012. Get a reel of red string and recite some pocketful mantras over them, then use them for tying onto the auspicious symbols in your home to signify Yang Fire chi. Many of your cures and enhancers displayed in the home will have their chi strengthened, increasing their symbolic power to attract good fortune into the home.
Examples of symbolic objects that benefit from having red knot ties to it are the three legged toads, good fortune
coins, raw semi-precious stones and so forth. Let these come alive with Yang Chi.
SEASONS OF 2012 Spring and summer are the more auspicious seasons of the current year these are the times when growth energy is strong and wealth luck manifests for many people. But winter will be one of discontent and anger energy. The energy turns violent and destructive and both natural disasters as well as severe human conflicts cause suffering to many.
TORTOISE POWER The year benefits from strong TORTOISE energy. The Paht Chee chart of the year has the Dragon, the Tiger and the Phoenix (in the form of its material world emanation the Rooster). Only the Tortoise energy is missing. Hence placing the image of the tortoise or the Dragon Tortoise in the home will complete the presence of the four celestial guardians of the year. Place any tortoise you bring into your home either at the back of your home or in the NORTH sector.
URNS Having these symbolic receptacles of good fortune in the home is very auspicious. Wealthy Chinese families of Hong Kong and Taiwan who believe in feng shui are especially fond of placing a pair of very large urns flanking the doorway in to the dining room. These urns are symbolically kept empty to signify a receptacle for containing incoming wealth luck. Choose urns that have auspicious paintings and designs.
VASE The VASE is a symbol of peace and prosperity and in 2012 having five vases in five element colors is exceptionally good feng shui. Place them anywhere in the front half of the home or at the base of your altar (if you have an altar at home) as offerings to your deities.
WATER DRAGON It is incredibly auspicious to create a scenario that seamlessly incorporates the Dragon image placed inside water such as an aquarium. Place near the entrance of the home.
X FACTOR IN FENG SHUI The X factor in feng shui is the good motivation. Having genuinely kind intentions - such as doing it to benefit your family, your children rather than yourself when you are rearranging your home to bring good fortune is the secret ingredient in adding more power to what you do. One simply cannot over stress the altruistic intention!
YEARLY REFERENCE TABLES Get all your reference tables and charts from the FENG SHUI DIARY and have the FENG SHUI ALMANAC close to you as these contain all the significantly good and had days for a variety of events. The Almanac even has the auspicious and unlucky hours.
ZOO SCENARIO Display your astrological allies in your direction ... thus DRAGONS feel good when the RAT or MONKEY are near ... just like SNAKE, ROOSTER and OX make a great trinity. Likewise the TIGER, HORSE and DOG bring good fortune to each other, while the RABBIT, SHEEP and BOAR give one another great support.
