FengShui the number 9 begins

On February 4, 2024 we will exit Earth Period 8 and enter Fire Period 9

The Year of the Dragon begins on February 10th, 2024.

According to the principle of Feng Shui, you should update your office and home regarding to the 9th period.

Period 8 is characterised by stability and constancy because Earth is a grounding element. However, Period 9 is just the opposite. Fire is an element that can burn, and if it burns out of control it can be very dangerous.

So the period of 9 is a time when everyone needs to be careful because fire can start suddenly and once it gets out of control there is not much you can do. It is a period in which what was accumulated in previous periods can be lost overnight. 

The Year of the Wood Dragon brings transformative energies with new possibilities. This is a time when the world is experiencing new beginnings in multiple dimensions of existence.

In Feng Shui, the time dimension is divided into days, months, years and periods of time. Each change brings its own energy shifts that contribute to the dynamics of each day. Daily flying stars bring small changes, while monthly flying stars can bring larger changes. The annual stars have an even greater impact. That’s why, at the beginning of every year, it’s important to update your home or office’s Feng Shui to make the most of the year. If we change the time period, the impact is even greater when careful planning pays off.

The different numbers of stars not only change the energy levels, some stars also take on different properties

The transition from Period 8 to Period 9 not only affects the energy of the stars, but in some cases also changes the results they produce.

In Period 9, the number 9 becomes the new current prosperity star, making it by far the luckiest star number. To get the most out of number 9, you should do your best to activate it. The most significant #9 stars are the Water and Mountain 9 stars, whose locations are determined by the configuration generated from the birth chart of your home or building. The yearly star 9 is also particularly strong.

 

Project the used Energy

Open all doors and windows to let in fresh air and sunlight while letting stale chi out. Use the hammer to gently hit the edge of the singing bowl with the three Harmony animals to make it hum.

The Year of the Wooden Dragon 2024

2024 is a Year of the Dragon that begins on February 10, 2024 (Chinese New Year) and ends on January 28, 2025.

The Year of the Dragon brings us new growth and energy for

– Your home and your life

– Your health and well-being

– with your love life (or for you to find one)

– for money and opportunity

The Year of the Dragon ushers in completely new energies not just for this year, but for the next two decades. With the change in the calendar, we have now entered a new period that will last for the next twenty years. As you can see, it’s pretty significant.

For now, however, I want you to know what to expect in the coming year.

This is the Year of the Dragon

The last time we had a Forest Dragon year was 1964. The wood energy of the dragon flying into the middle sector meant we could see more turmoil, ranging from wars and battles to earthquakes.

The dragon promotes health, growth and powerful energy.

Dragons are the most popular animals in Feng Shui and Asia. The dragon represents the pinnacle of happiness, power and health.

Placing an image of a dragon in the eastern corner of your home, living room and garden is an excellent way to encourage growth and energy in your home and life this year.

Make sure dragons are not placed in a bedroom as they are too energetic and could prevent you from sleeping well. They should never be placed in a bathroom.

This year, dragons are most auspicious in the eastern sector, bringing with them prestige and energy that are positive for growth and opportunity and will benefit the family, especially the eldest son.

The eldest son advances

The eldest son represents the 3-star, the reigning star of 2024, and with his prominence in the center sector, the son will see new activities and more growth this year.

If your oldest son is a teenager or toddler, the 3 star could promote extra energy that makes him more short-tempered. Just stay calm and take your countermeasures.

In fact, many families will experience growth, especially if they can promote harmony and good relationships and use the appropriate resources for the 3-star principle. This can be difficult as the 3 stars are often seen as an argument and a legal star. Luckily, all it takes is the red color to curb the energy of the 3.

This year it is possible that more families will experience difficulties or have legal disputes within the family.

This can happen through inheritance, divorce, restraining orders, child support and custody issues. Sticking to the remedies and not inviting trouble will help you navigate.

Below is the table of energies for the Year of the Dragon showing the corners where the energies fly for 2024

The most beautiful corners of the house in 2024

The corners with the best energies this year include the north, northeast, east, southwest and northwest.

The corners have the most auspicious energies. So if your bedroom or front door is located here, you are indeed lucky and these energies will be more powerful for you.

The difficult lucky charms in 2024

In 2024, the corners with the greatest luck difficulty are the Southeast, the Center, the South and the West. As the 5 Yellow moves to the western corner of children, pay special attention to this affliction if you have children in the house or have difficulty breathing. The West is the direction of the lungs, so there may be problems with respiratory infections, flu, COVID, RSV, etc.

If there is a bedroom or front door here, pay close attention to the measures needed to address these discomforts, especially if these corners are your front door, bedroom or living area.

Wealth falters in the Year of the Dragon

Wherever the 1 White Star, 9 Purple Prosperity Star, 8 Prosperity Star and 6 Celestial Lucky Star fly, there you can find luck and favor.

It is particularly helpful if these corners correspond to frequently used corners, such as the front door, the bedroom, the study or the living room. Even a window in these corners is beneficial as you can open it and let the wealth and luck into the house.

 

This is the year when the wait is over

The year comes like a dragon – full of growth and opportunities. And like a dragon, there is some bluster and great energy, just as you would expect from a dragon.

If you feel like your head has been under water and you are stuck and stagnant, the Dragon will help you get out of that rut with real energy and enthusiasm.

Meaning of the blue Rhinoceros in Fengshui

The Blue Rhinoceros is a Feng Shui remedy for the violent flying Star 7

The Blue Rhinoceros counteracts the Star 7 energy of robbery and loss of money, as well as the violence it promotes. You can also add the blue elephant with 6 tusks and a crystal ball and place all three where the Year Star 7 is.

The Feng Shui Blue Rhinoceros is a powerful protector against office gossip and politics.

If you suffer from sneaky enemies, place this feng shui remedy on a shelf behind your desk so that this defensive agent has your back and is always looking over your shoulder. In addition to a figurine, you can carry a metal keychain version so that you always have it with you as a protective amulet.

The Elephant a revered Symbol in Feng Shui for good Luck and Wisdom

The Elephant a revered Symbol in Feng Shui for good Luck, Wisdom and More

Elephants are revered symbols in many cultures as they are the largest living land mammals. In Feng Shui they stand for strength, protection, wisdom and luck!

As with all icons, touch your own connection. What do elephants mean to you? Bring your intuition together with ancient wisdom and use the elephant symbol to invite positive energies into your home and life.

Elephant Symbolism

Native to Asia and Africa, the elephant was admired and equated with mythical animals like the dragon and the phoenix. Buddhism originated in India and spread to East Asia with its symbols and teachings. Elephants are revered in Buddhism and are one of the seven precious treasures of the universal monarch. Like a snowy mountain, the elephant embodies dignity, majesty and power.

In much of Buddhist and Hindu iconography, deities ride elephants and are regarded as revered vehicles for transmitting spiritual teachings. In the Vedic systems, Ganesha is one of the most popular and loved deities. He has the head of an elephant and the body of a boy. In ancient times, elephants were trained to fight because they were so strong they could take down any obstacle. Therefore, Ganesha is the deity appointed to remove obstacles.

White Elephants

All elephant images are symbols of protection, good luck and wisdom, however, white elephants are particularly auspicious. It is said that the Buddha’s mother dreamed of a white elephant before giving birth to him.

Protection at Entrance  

A pair of elephant statues, similar to fu dogs, can be placed near the entrance of a home to provide protection. The two big and powerful elephants can fiercely guard the house. In ancient times, elephants were trained for war from a young age, so today we can consider them protective symbols.

For Feng Shui, they can be positioned to face outwards, thus guarding the main entrance of the home. The icons can be placed either on the inside or outside of the entry, as you choose.

Good Fortune

Pictures of elephants in the home invite luck and wealth. Elephants are often depicted wearing the wish-granting jewel to bestow good luck. You can place elephants at the front door to invite that positive energy. You can also place them near the desk for better luck in your career.

Abundance

Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of abundance, is often depicted with four elephants. Elephants are a particularly powerful symbol of wealth and royalty. Elephants are also associated with gray rain clouds to bring bountiful harvests.

Feng Shui the saying about handwriting

Feng Shui and the saying about hand writing and signature

The art art of handwriting analysis, graphology, is very similar to Feng Shui.

How does graphology relate to Feng Shui? In Feng Shui, mind and thought are related to the hand, so a person’s writing style offers insight into that person’s personality and can affect their life.

Your handwriting also reveals instant clues about your energy levels, attitudes, trustworthiness, etc. But do you know that you can also develop auspicious handwriting that will bring you success and happiness in whatever you write? This encompasses all aspects of study, work and life, so developing happy handwriting is something everyone can benefit from.

 

Create strength and spirit in your handwriting

Do this by holding your pen with conscious feeling and as you write, visualize the essence of your inner spirit flowing from your hands into your fingers and then into your pen/pencil/brush. As you practice this consciously, you will find that your written word becomes clearer and visually sharper. As you write, be aware of the pressure you are exerting. The secret to generating chi in the fingers is to focus on them. Practice applying just enough pressure on your pen—neither too hard nor too light. Keep your pressure balanced and let your pen flow smoothly. This ensures that your venture is not complicated by obstacles and obstacles.

Always use a good pen whenever possible

In ancient times, ministers at the emperor’s court used exquisite brushes whenever they sat down to compose poetry or write important letters. The art of writing was serious business and good writing implements were prized possessions. At that time they were brushes made of the finest sable hair tied together with the finest silk. Today we have a range of branded gold and platinum pens, crafted to perfection by master craftsmen.

You don’t have to buy any of these limited-edition Mont Blanc etc., although it would be very promising if you could afford it. But invest in the best pen you can afford and infuse it with your spirit and essence. The more you use your special pen to write all your important letters and sign all your documents, the more powerful your writing will become.

Try to hold the pen straight

A clear handwriting indicates that one lives in the present. The worst is handwriting that is slanted backwards, as this suggests a person who is always living in the past and is always looking backwards instead of forwards. It also indicates someone with low self-confidence. This creates the chi of failure rather than success. So try to keep your writing upright. Writing diagonally forward means you often outperform yourself. It does NOT mean looking ahead. Leaning forward can indicate that you are often unprepared for the task at hand. Clear handwriting indicates self-confidence and someone who is fair, upstanding and in control of situations.

Keep your spacing consistent

When your words are evenly spaced, you ensure that what you do always goes according to plan. Your life will benefit from good organisation and well-managed employees. At work, you get along well with people and others find you reliable and responsible. Keeping your handwriting evenly spaced and with straight edges reflects a well-ordered mind. It will then be easier for you to make decisions efficiently and decisively.

Writing with straight and consistent baselines tends to provide a valuable ability to plan ahead and be self-directed. Such people eventually become very self-motivated, a key factor in success.

Good idea to introduce an upstroke

Handwriting experts will tell you that the lack of up-scores at the beginning of words is a sign that you’re being direct, open, and efficient. You say what you feel, outright. For some, that’s a plus. To be successful, however, it takes tact and diplomacy and maybe even a little dance before the main course. Starting your words with an up-slash also means that everything you do has a good, positive beginning. So it’s a good idea to develop some upward strokes in your handwriting.

Create upper loops

To be successful you must have a vision for success. If you want the inner visionary to manifest in you, create upper loops in your handwriting. This stimulates the divine dreamer in you and also boosts your creativity in many ways. However, you should not overdo it. Select specific key alphabets to write with an upper loop. Letters that allow this are fs, ts, hs, etc. If the top loops are completely missing, it means you lack vision. However, this may not be so bad as dreamers sometimes tend to be overly idealistic.

Dot your I’s and cross your T’s

Attention to detail is a major asset and can usually mean the difference between success and failure. It also helps you improve memory skills. If the handwriting is left with an un-dotted i and an uncrossed t, it indicates that the job is still halfway done. This means that projects are started but rarely come to successful results. So how can it lead to success if you write carelessly? Success comes to those who are both careful and thorough. So learn to be careful when crossing your T-points and placing your I-points.
