Every year about this time I alter the Feng Shui of my office and my home to be in balance with the energy map of the year. This will allow me to empower the positive regions and reduce the negative influences of the troublesome areas. In Feng Shui and Four pillar of destiny (Chinese chart reading) it’s necessary for everyone to update the Feng Shui of their home and working place to align yourself with the energy of the year. This will enable you to boost and energize the positive segment of the year and de-energize, cure and be mindful of the negativity and destructive side of the Dragon.
The year 2012 has just begun and the year of the Metal Rabbit is past and we are embarking upon the year of Water Dragon. This will occur on the 4th of February, which marks the beginning of the spring, called Li Chun.
The change of energy always has a very strong effect on the specific star sign and on the Feng Shui of our space.
People generally think, the year of their own sign, is the best year for them, unfortunately this is not valid.
People born in the year of the Dragon are in a self-penalty with the Dragon and they should pay special attention to their health, on the other hand, anyone who is born in the year of the Dog has a direct clash with dragon and should be cautious. It is advisable for both sign to carry a pendant of rooster to avoid the potential problem.
