July 7 through August 6, 2009
According to Xuan Kong Feng Shui, the monthly flying stars of Yin metal Goat month are exactly the same as our Yin earth Ox year’s annual stars. To be precise, it will run from July 7 through
Here are two examples of the stars which would need your attention:
North with monthly 5 and annual 5 – Keep this sector as quiet and peaceful as possible. If this is a play room for your kids or if you have an active water feature, do not allow your kids to play here and you should not have an active water feature here in the first place because of annual 5. As a matter of fact, if this sector is activated (movements, activities, or moving water), accidents or misfortune will follow within a few days.
West with monthly 2 and annual 2 – As you probably know, this is commonly known as sickness star. It is a catalyst for any kind of diseases, especially if there is indications in your Heaven Luck (bazi or 4P chart). Should you have a slightest pain or discomfort, don’t hesitate to see your doctor immediately. On the positive side, 2 earth produces mineral and plants/trees grow on it… if it is supported by a hill or a neighbor’s house, you may be richer in your real estate ventures.
Although monthly 8 and annual 8 are located in the Southeast sector, this does not necessary mean significant money gain. There is just too much earth which may bury the potentials. So, be a bit more alert than usual to prevent growing mishaps. More information on 2009 Annual Flying Stars at http://www.fengshuiheritage.com/what-you-must-know/
I wish you all well and may you be blessed.
Feng Shui and garden (5)
Why do we incorporate water features in our gardens or parks? What significant benefits do they portray? First and foremost, water brings our gardens or parks to life; and activates the qi (our life force). It also beautifies our gardens/parks and attracts birds, butterflies, bees and other living beings. It soothes our nerves and we feel relax and calm. As you probably know, Feng shui in Chinese is wind (feng) and water (shui), water also symbolizes wealth for many Chinese and Asian communities. The ancient Chinese said "Qi rides the wind and is retained by water". Fengshui-wise, water can help retain the qi, hence our wealth. Ponds that empty into each other are most auspicious because they allow qi (wealth) to circulate and accumulate.
However, please make sure that the water is kept very clean at all times; do not allow the water to stagnate nor the pond to collect leaves in the fall. This would cause stagnation of our own energy and might lead to severe financial problems.
Well, this concludes our Feng Shui and Garden series. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading and may you accumulate more wealth! 
Feng Shui and the garden (4)
More food for thought…
Another way to obtain a well-balanced good feng shui garden is to design and create five distinct flower beds, each displaying the characteristics and shapes of the Five Elements. For example: a pergola with climbing evergreen ivy to represent wood element; a circular flower bed with lovely scented white roses representing metal element; a rectangular flower bed with daffodils and yellow tulips to represent earth element; a pyramid shape of red climbing clematis for fire element; and lastly a small pond with water lilies and lotuses to represent water element. No doubt, these examples are not unique, they can be modified to suit your personal taste and need provided you adhere to the Five Elements principles.
