Why Did Your Financial, Health or Relationship
Problems…
Begin in February?
by P.K. Odle, The Feng Shui Advantage
Perhaps you’re like several of my newest clients, who have reported their situation changed for the worse beginning in February. Several said they’d experienced more health problems since February, while others were having more relationship problems… both on and off the job. Other clients were able to pin-point February as the time when their income took a turn for the worse.
When troubles begin in February, it’s an excellent example of the Feng Shui annual energy shift causing problems in your life. You’re not the only one with these kinds of problems, because every house goes through the same annual energy shift, which explains why one year can be better or worse in the same house. By the way, in Feng Shui we refer to all buildings as a house… whether it’s your home or place of business.
Like Mother Nature’s changing seasons, Feng Shui’s annual energy shift has precise timing. Most would assume this universal energy shift occurs on the Chinese Lunar New Year, which varies from year to year. However, Feng Shui studies the affects of solar energy on planet Earth; therefore the less publicized Chinese SOLAR calendar is used. You can use a Farmer’s Almanac to locate the exact moment each year when the Feng Shui annual energy shift occurs, which is either on February 4th or 5th. Farmers call that moment the Spring Establishment or Spring Stand, which is the exact mid-point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.
The shift of the Universal or Annual Feng Shui energies affects your building differently each year, depending on your building's inherent energy patterns. Some years circumstances will improve because the Annual Energy that visits your entrances, bedrooms and/or offices acts as a natural remedy for the permanent energy pattern present in that area. Unfortunately, some years the opposite occurs and the Annual Energy contributes to disasters by acting as a trigger for any negative energy patterns or by creating a sabotaging energy pattern.
Certain annual energies bring nothing but disasters, such as, accidents, delays, pain and major illnesses… or gossip, arguments and lawsuits… or separation/divorce, stomach abdominal problems, including miscarriages. For instance, if you had South entrances, bedrooms or offices in 1999 the visiting annual energy would have caused accidents, delays, pain and major illness… unless you had the correct elemental remedy to neutralize the negative aspects. However, if you followed the advice of the majority of do-it-yourself books and added Fire colors to the South section of your house in 1999, you actually triggered the negative circumstances mentioned above.
From the above example you can see why it’s NOT advisable to paint your entrances RED or any other Fire color. Black or blue, which are Water colors, are other colors to avoid painting your doors… because with another annual energy Water colors trigger arguments, separation/divorce and lawsuits. When the energies at your entrance requires a Water or Fire colored remedy… it’s best to use an area rug or other beautiful decorations, because it takes more effort to repaint when a sabotaging annual energy visits and you’re advised to change remedies for that year.
Your house could also be suffering the affects of an Annual Money or People LOCK, which occurs from time to time in every house. These locks cause you overall Money (finance and career) or People (health and relationship) problems for an entire year. Even houses with the best energy patterns go through these phases, unless they have the required elemental remedy to release a lock situation. Many times I’ve seen houses for sale to avoid foreclosure when they’ve gone through a back-to-back People and Money lock. However, if the family had installed necessary remedy they wouldn’t have been forced to sell.
There’s only one thing worse than an Annual LOCK and that’s a 20 year ‘Construction Cycle’ LOCK. Somewhere in the life of your house it will go through a 20 year Money Lock and another 20 year People Lock. Depending on the energy pattern of your house, a 20 year lock could begin as early as the next ‘Construction Cycle’ after it was built or decades later. The current ‘Construction Cycle’ began on February 4, 2004. The good thing is that Locks created by the previous Cycle automatically released on that day, however many other houses began a 20 year Money or People LOCK period. This is a major reason why entire neighborhoods will begin to decline, while others will begin to rejuvenate.
Your initial Feng Shui analysis determines how your house is currently contributing to your health, relationship or financial problems… and what elemental remedies will neutralize any negative Feng Shui influences. When you’re implementing your elemental remedies, it’s important to implement them as beautiful accessories that are easily transferred from room to room, because they may need to be changed from year to year.
When choosing a Feng Shui consultant, besides verifying their credential and references, inquire whether they offer their clients annual updates. Also, confirm they are utilizing the scientific methods of Classical Feng Shui and use only the 5 elements as remedies. Inquire whether you’ll receive a written report that includes your unique 15° personal directional aspects, which barely 5% of Feng Shui consultants are able to derive from your date of birth.
Finally, you want to feel comfortable communicating with your Feng Shui consultant, because it’s important you understand your report and their instructions. Once you begin to manage your house’s Feng Shui influences and experience the Feng Shui advantage, you’ll want to develop a long-term relationship with your Feng Shui consultant.
