Year of the Water Dragon: What to Expect in 2012










Annual Energies for the Year of the Water Dragon


The year of the Water Dragon begins February 4, 2012 (the Solar/Hsia Calendar). However, the Chinese celebrate it on January 23rd (Lunar Calendar). In the north, the "sickness" energy visits; if you‟re prone to stomach, reproductive, digestive or any other issues in the mid-section of the body place metal there.


In the East, the "travelling and romance" energy visits which is good for romance, scholarly pursuits, writing and travelling. It can also indicate that you will be moving this year. If you have an East facing door, sleep to the East or your home faces the East this will be a good year to meet a new lover and is also good for getting a book published. This excellent, especially if you have your bedroom located in the East. If single, this will give you the opportunity to attract a mate into your life.


The "trouble maker" energy visits the Southeast, in the New Year. This is the worst known energy to visit and if activated indicates problems with money, relationships and health.
This energy is not strong in the Southeast and will only affect individuals with Southeast facing doors, homes or sleeping to the Southeast. It is only recommended that you place metal there if you‟re experiencing difficulties.


The West is visited by the "money" energy, which means it‟ll be a good year to make a lot of money if your home faces west, you have a west facing front door or you‟re sleeping to the west.
The "future money luck" energy visits the Northeast, indicating future wealth, such as non-liquid assets like investments in the stock market, 401 (k), IRA‟s and also indicates career/work related promotions. It also is indicative of celebrations, such as weddings.


The South is visited by more "money" energy which is good for cash flow, intellect and sexual energy. This energy will be especially good for steamy love affairs.


The Southwest is visited by the "fighting" energy and is quite strong this year. If activated this

energy indicates gossiping, fighting, arguments and lawsuits. Place metal in these areas if you‟re experiencing these issues. If not, leave it alone as metal can weaken the prosperity energy.

The Northwest is visited by the "robber and the thief" energy. This indicates that homes that

face the Northwest, or if you live in a home that has an exterior door that faces the Northwest or you are sleeping to the Northwest, it can indicate people not paying you money they owe you, business deals falling through at the last minute, people literally taking from you and health issues that are related to the breast, mouth and teeth. If the overall Feng Shui of your home is good, you will not be affected by this energy.

These energies can be "activated" by having a door located in these sectors, sleeping to these directions, bedrooms located in these sectors, the stove knobs activating these sectors known as the "fire mouth," digging into the earth in these sectors, water features such as pools and fountains, and fire elements such as large televisions, fireplaces or outdoor kitchens.

Apart from annual energies that visit, there are also directions that are considered inauspicious for the year because of the evil influences that they can exert. It is best to not activate these sectors or directions in any way to avoid negative influences in your life, which would affect all aspects of health, wealth and relationships adversely. In 2012, the entire South sector of your home, inside and outside, and the first fifteen degrees of Southwest (202.6-217.5) and the last fifteen degrees of Southeast (142.6-157.5) should not be activated at all. This includes digging up the earth, construction, renovations, additions, water features, or anything that would disturb the ground, like sprinklers. These energies are known as Sam Sart or "three killings."

Also, in 2012, the Northwest (292.6-307.5) is being visited by the Sui Po or "year breaker." It is also advised to not engage in new construction of a building that sits on the Sui Po (the back of the building faces Northwest); it is not good to do any type of construction. The "trouble maker" energy is visiting the Southeast and it is best to leave the Southeast sector of your home, inside and outside, alone this year. The Southeast (112.6-127.5) should not be disturbed as well because the Tai Sui or the "grand duke" visits this sector. It is said that you can sit with your back to this energy but not face it. It is also advised that construction in a building that faces the Tai Sui is not done. This energy is inauspicious and can bring a lot of problems for the owners of the building and the people working on the building, such as injuries and lawsuits.

Is your Home Making you Broke?


Do you work hard and find it difficult to hold onto your money?
Consider this: maybe it’s the energy in your home that is depleting your wealth. The modern day world has deprived a lot of us of our inherent birth rights– trusting ourselves. We all have the ability within us to knowwhat is good for us and what is bad. Making sense of where we live has a lot to do with our intuitive “hits” and listening. If it doesn’t feel right, look right or seem right, chances are it probably isn’t going to be.

Our environment is a reflection of where we are in that moment of time. Sometimes people will attract a home or business because they must live out an experience that they need to learn from. At the end of the day, you have everything that you need to ensure that you are well taken care of. By getting quiet, listening and waiting the truth will reveal itself.

Just in case, here’s some examples of properties that may indicate difficulty with money and what you can do:

Extreme slopes or sharp drop-offs on your property indicate unstable money and life. Without the protection of a high retaining wall your wealth will quickly slip away.

Homes that back to a body of water (including a river, like the Los Angeles river), in general, are not beneficial for most occupants. Water is the ultimate wealth secret in Feng Shui. When properly placed it can bring a lot of wealth luck. Improperly placed water, on the other hand, can cause missed opportunities, insolvency, illness, drug addiction, sexual misconduct, scandal and other serious situations. In Feng Shui, the water needs to be seen from the front that way you can keep an eye on its level.

Basement level homes or businesses are notorious for creating financial misfortune. You can’t succeed if you are below ground because the earth energy is cold or “yin.” A closed-in, traditional basement in a home is fine for recreational areas. However, if you have a home or business that has a first floor underground, no remedy is available except for closing the ground floor off and building on the street level.

Homes that are too close to a highway indicate difficulty in maintaining wealth. The energy is too powerful for a home to tolerate. If energy cannot be retained at the site, money will be difficult to keep too. You can retain the energy on the site with retaining walls around the property.

As you can see the location of a building is extremely important in determining the money flow and the overall quality of life for occupants. Our surroundings emit powerful energy that can be both beneficial and difficult. Realize that wherever you are in your life, and regardless of where you have come from, you can always change your life for the better. Use energy in whatever capability you know or have access to and improve your life. The ancients left behind this knowledge for us to use, so use it!

Clean your House, Change your Chi!





Are you feeling stagnant, blase, or needing a little lift?


Next time you feel this way, clean your house and see what happens. You can literally change the vibration or lift the vibration of your house by cleaning and bring in new opportunities quickly. Have you ever walked into a home where things were a little chaotic and in a state of disarray and you felt a little uncomfortable? You know that same feeling you get when you're watching hoarders on television. Or have you walked into a home that was clean, pristine and looked like a museum and you felt really good there? Like when you're watching HGTV and they're doing the grand reveal of the space after they HGTV'd it. Those "feelings" all have to do with the energy in the space.

I self diagnosed myself with a cleaning disorder. Anytime I am stressed, I clean, if I am frustrated, I clean, If I am sad, I clean. Why do you ask, would I do such a foolish thing? Because it makes me feel better. It lifts the vibration of my home, which in turn changes my vibration to a higher one and the end result is a happier gal. Obviously, you don't have to be as obsessive as I am but you get the picture. A little cleaning, goes a long way.

Energy flows from the outside- in and flows from the middle of the house outward in a specific pattern that we Feng Shui people call the " lo shu flight path." When chi is flowing and there's an obstacle in it's way, such as a stack of laundry,boxes, or just a bunch of stuff everywhere, the chi cannot flow uniformly and that's when you may start feeling stagnation, tired, depression, low energy, etc.

Energy brings opportunities for money, relationships and health. When energy is met with an obstacle, it diverts from it's normal path, which in turn takes longer to complete the "lo shu flight path." For example, picture yourself driving along and all of the sudden the light turns read, which in turn forces you to come to a screeching halt. If you were to keep doing this a dozen times, it would eventually take longer for you to get to your destination. Now use that same analogy and picture the energy flow in your home...every time it's halted by an obstacle, it will take that much longer for the opportunities to come in.

By cleaning up after yourself, cleaning the house, clearing away clutter, and keeping your home pristine, these actions will left the energy of your home and the chi will be able to flow freely and effortlessly and this will help bring in more opportunities for money, relationships, and health. Give it a try and see what happens.
