Feng Shui for 2006
Publisher, The Red Lotus Letter
This is the Year of the Red Fire Dog
SECTOR BY SECTOR ANALYSIS FOR 2006
The energies for all nine sectors in 2006 have been detailed for you below.
CENTER SECTOR (Health, Wealth, Family/Residents)
NEGATIVE ENERGY FOR 2006
The center sector will see squabbles and fights break out in the center of the house. Keep the house brightly lit or place red colored objects here to curtail the effects of the argument and hositlities star. Avoid hanging a windchime here or having anything noisy in this area as it will stir up the negative energy.
NORTH SECTOR (Career, Business Opportunities):
The 8 star brings many good things, exciting times, and wonderful success. If your front door, bedroom, or office is located here, you might just find 2006 is a wonderful year for you! If you are single, place romance enhancers such as rose quartz, pairs or ducks here.
If your office is here, add a three-legged toad, crystals, stones, and globes here. Have children study in the north sector of the living room for enhanced concentration and study success. If your bedroom is located here, use crystals to enhance the wealth potential of the sector.
Be aware, though, that the 3 Killings is located here, and you shouldn't have your back to the north. People will talk about you and gossip could hurt your good name, rob you, try to steal from you, or otherwise betray you. Concentration will also be poor if your back is to the north.
NORTHEAST SECTOR (Spirituality, Wisdom, Education, Personal Growth):
EXCELLENT ENERGY IN THIS SECTOR THIS YEAR!
The energy located in the east is perfect for anyone whose front door or home office or bedroom or living room is located here. Anyone who spends any time in this sector will find that they receive benefits and help from others. Add crystals here to enhance the effects.
If this is your bedroom, place dark-colored blankets and coverings on the bed as it can cause excess energy that harms your liver or head. Add figures of religious deities to enhance the wonderful heaven energy in this sector.
EAST SECTOR (Health, Family relationships):
WHITE STAR 1 MAKES THIS A FAVORABLE SECTOR THIS YEAR
This sector enjoys wonderful career energy. Activate this by placing a fountain in the east corner of your office or living room. Those with a pool, office, or front door in the east sector will enjoy wonderful financial benefits and career opportunities.
SOUTHEAST SECTOR (Wealth, Material Abundance):
ILLNESS STAR THIS YEAR IN THE WEALTH SECTOR
The southeast has the #2 Illness Star located here. This can cause problems for the oldest daughter, particularly related to health, abdomen, reproductive problems, digestive complaints. If your bathroom or strorage room is located here, then that is a help.
Avoid red colors and open flames at all costs. Add a string of 6 Chinese coins to counteract this influence and make metal objects more prominent to exhaust the negative energy.Pregnant women should avoid this sector. Avoid digging in this sector or doing renovations here. Keep the area quiet and subdued.
SOUTH SECTOR (Fame, Recognition, Social Status):
ROBBERY AND VIOLENCE ENERGY LOCATED HERE.
The south has the violent 7 star here this year. There is a possibility for violence, robbery, or deception, theft, and gossip and slander. Backstabbing is a big possibility. You should be especially careful if this is where your back door or front door fall. If so, take extra security measures and watch all documents carefully and do not answer the door unless you know who is there. Double check all security features in your home from burglar alarms to fire alarms. Consider adding water to this location to exhaust the 7 star or black and blue colors, cushions, mats, etc.
SOUTHWEST SECTOR (Romance, Relationships, Women, Woman of the House):
FUTURE WEALTH ENERGY FOR THE SW SECTOR THIS YEAR
The 9 Purple star is in the SW sector this year that brings great potential to this sector especially if your front door, bedroom, or office is located here. The 9 star is related to promotion and fame. Are you an actor, a writer, a politician? If so, you stand a great chance to become known this year if your bedroom, door, or office is located in this sector. This star makes everything go better! Relationships will be harmonious, husbands and wives will get along beautifully, the women of the house will be hapy!
Looking to conceive? Add pomegranates, images of elephants or children in this corner of the house as this star can help enhance fertility! This is especially helpful if your bedroom is located here. But, if you are looking to conceive, add these symbols to the SW corner of the living room, bedroom, and the SW sector of your home.
One of the nicest aspects of this star is that it denotes some kind of recognition with it... such as an appointment to an office, some official award or other type of recognition. Look for this in particular if your home and facing direction and door are facing Southwest.
To enhance this sector, add pretty flowers. The 9 star is potent enough that it does not require any significant enhancement.
WEST SECTOR (Children, Creativity, Family):
The west sector has the very troublesome 5 yellow star. This can cause all kinds of problems from illness to lawsuits to troublesome children, you name it. Avoid digging or renovating in this area to as not to create "five kinds of trouble" for yourself. Avoid red colors and use metal or water colors and objects here.
If your front door is located in the west, try to use another door if possible this year. Keep this area of the house quiet and indisturbed. If you have a bathroom or closet located here, you are in luck. Keep the doors closed to this sector. Add metal colors and objects to this sector to strengthen the west and weaken the 5 Yellow. A 6-rod windchime will help you overcome the negative energy here.
NORTHWEST SECTOR (Travel, Helpful People, Patriarchs, Foreign Travel):
4 Green Star located in this sector
This energy brings great creative and academic success and travel energy to this sector. If your front door is located in this direction and you are in a creative line of work, this may become your breakout year. If you are in a relationship, be aware that this star can bring unwanted sexual advances.
If you are seeking a relationship, then by all means, boost this sector with some small plants such as lucky bamboo to bring more available suitors to you (this is especially helpful for you single girls out there!). Add water colors in this location (blues, blacks) and avoid any candles or red colors. Fresh flowers will also boost your magnetism if you seek romance, as well a pair of ducks or pictures of geese.
Be aware that the Grand Duke is in this sector. Avoid facing the West-Northwest and have it to your back instead to get great good support from the Grand Duke! Absolutely do no digging, banging, or renovating in this portion of your home. If your front door is located here, enter the house this way and exit another direction so that you do not face the Grand Duke.
FOR EFFECTIVE FENG SHUI YOU MUST DIAGRAM YOUR SPACE
If you have not taken the time to diagram your space, please be sure to do so now. It will help you place your enhancements correctly and maximize the results you get from feng shui. To do so is also to help you make certain you know exactly where each direction is in your space. This is critical and it is important that you do it correctly in order to achieve the results you want.
Over time you have heard me repeatedly say that you must use a compass to determine the true directions of your space. That’s because the directions are altered in your home or office merely by the objects in the space – and this can range from the studs and nails in the walls to the type of foundation you have.
It is why determining where your south sector is by where the sun rises and sets is neither accurate nor effective. You must use a compass. Furthermore, as the seasons change, so does the course of the sun. In the winter, the sun sets in a more southwest direction than western. So you see, you cannot know exactly what direction your home is until you take a compass reading.
Another important aspect in regarding the directions of your space is to know where all eight directions fall. Many western compasses only show you the cardinal directions (N, E, S, W), and so you may not know exactly where NE or SW is in relationship to these directions. This is very important to know. Below are the degrees of the compass for each of the eight directions.
North:
337.5 – 22.5
Northeast:22.5 – 067.5
East:67.5 – 112.5
Southeast:112.5 – 157.5
South:157.5 – 202.5
Southwest:202.5 – 247.5
West:247.5 – 292.5
Northwest:292.5 – 337.5
Be sure to mark each sector of your home according to the direction like the diagram demonstrates below.
Now that you know the degrees, you should be able to mark your diagram accurately. Doing all this takes a little time and a little effort. And, I’ll admit, the information can also be a little confusing, too. But, it’s worth taking the time to work it out. Plus, you will be amazed by all the benefits you receive. So in light of all you stand to gain, isn’t it worth it? For those of you who want the benefits of classical and the more complicated flying star feng shui, I’ve worked to make the information as simple and straightforward as possible for you.
Good luck this year, the year of the Fire Dog! For a WONDERFUL explanation of what to expect from a "Fire Dog" year, check out Master Raymond Lo's website. He has a wonderful write-up on 2006.
