FREEFLOW FENG SHUI NEWSLETTER
MAY 2011

www.freeflow-fengshui.com

Greetings all,

What results did you get from discovering the polarity of your room, house or office? Yin or Yang? Do let me know.

We’ve been enjoying one of the warmest springs on record. It’s been quite a sudden shift from the extremely YIN winter and all the snow to the now very YANG hot temperatures and prolonged dryness. The balancing of YIN and YANG, highlighted in my last newsletter, is a constant dynamic. In summer, foods best to eat to ingest some YIN into our bodies, are leafy, light, upward growing foods, such as lettuce and spinach. In the winter the opposite is true, where root vegetables, and dishes which are cooked slowly and for a long time provide YANG Chi.

Now with the beginning of Summer upon us, we may seek YIN unconsciously, looking for a dark area of shade if spending too long out in the YANG sun; cool water if our mouth is dry. We naturally seek this balance.

 
9 Star Ki – May 2011
May 6th through to June 5th sees the Ki cycle turning to a 5 Earth (T’ai Ch) month.
This is the original ‘map’ orientation, which means our Stars rests in the house to which it belongs.

Lo Shu Grid – May 2011

 
9 Star Ki Forecast for May
9 Fire Star – You’re on top of the pile this month, fully in the spotlight and ready to be noticed, and sometimes from unexpected sources. You’re innate ability to find illumination in any situation is heightened and there for all to see.

8 Earth Star – Release any pressures this month by taking some time out of your daily routine for reading or study and let yourself relax. It’s important this month and year to stay flexible in mind and body. Visit a yoga class and stretch those meridians.

7 Metal Star – In this potentially changeable year, this is a month to relax, bring joy into your life and find an outlet for your creative urges. You may feel more ready to socialise and entertain this month so let your hair down and be carefree for a while.

6 Metal Star – People will seek you out for your strength of opinion and clarity of mind. As well as focusing on them give yourself some time to tie any loose ends that have been hanging open for a while. Consolidate.

5 Earth Star – Being in the centre of the Lo Shu Grid, also gives you the ability to connect to everyone around you. In this changing time, stay grounded as you may find yourself being attractive to others for advice and support.

4 Wood Star – The connectivity to all things is heightened this month. Be careful not to let your energy and enthusiasm push others into situations they find difficult. Trust your intuition as it is always right.

3 Wood Star – The vital and upward energy of spring and morning is yours this month. It’s your innate ability to empower those around you with your passion and enthusiasm. Give those plans an open road and push forwards with them.

2 Soil Star – Your generous and giving nature may find yourself in a romantic situation this month. As you find it important to care for others, you must also not forget to care for yourself. Remember to allow space for yourself.

1 Water Star – Your deep spiritual nature is in focus this month, don’t sink too deeply though, remain spontaneous and explore your creativity. Also, don’t be frustrated if things aren’t moving forward; this is a time for planning.

Key: Top right number relates to Original Lo Shu, Top left the Year Grid and the other is the Month Stars.

Looking at the property and the flying stars for May as above I can see that the fantastic stars 8, 1 and 6 are all in the northern sectors. Get busy with the vacuum cleaner and duster, clean and clutter clear these sectors in your home to allow this splendid auspicious energy to blossom in your home. The South is a romantic area, where the West is a potential for security issues. Check your windows and security here particularly if your front door faces this direction.

As this time of year is important for students concentrating on their exams and study. Use the South East of your home/room/bedroom to knuckle down and delve into your books. Make sure it is clear of clutter and any other distractions.

Dear readers,

I hope this finds you all well and warm!?

Spring is trying to push away the clouds and bulbs are warming up to push through the cold and damp ground, as the seasons head towards the ‘east’ and the rabbit month. The east in Feng Shui represents WOOD, morning and spring time. The tail of the plough or big dipper is swinging round to the east also.

As of March 6th it is a 7 Metal (Trigram: Tui / Lake) month. This makes it a 7 year, month and during March there will also be three 7 metal DAYS! – on the 10th, 19th and 28th. This happens mostly once and sometimes twice a year. Bringing with it a certain intensity. As you may know, this makes all of our stars in the same location on all three levels (Year, Month and Day) a time of revolution and change for those 7 Metal stars out there and to a degree the rest of us too, as we will be occupying the same house too! The 6 Metal stars for example, will be occupying the 4 House. The impact of the day and month houses are more immediately felt, within our social interactions and family dynamics.

I would be interested to hear what you experience on these days or generally this month, particularly from any 7 Metal Stars out there? There will also be a similar alignment happening this year in December, so it really is a shifting of energies this year. Are things building up to next year – 2012? I thought this year could possibly be a ‘year that comes before’ – a year that is preparation for what some believe is going to be a monumental time for the human race in 2012.

Anyway, as you can see below, the 5 Yellow Star sits in the East, this is true as mentioned above for March also. So please avoid any renovations or building work in the East of your home, as the Grand Duke (Rabbit) also resides here!

 
9 Star Ki March 2011
In 9 Star Ki, March 6th until April 4th sees the turning of the Ki cycle to a 7 Metal (Lake) month!

Your 9 Star Ki Forecast for March
9 Fire Star – You are in the 7 House of celebration and Joy. It’s a time of relaxation and reaping the rewards of your hard work of the past few months. You may feel more inclined to make rash purchases and adopt a more frivolous nature than usual. It’s a great month for socialising and getting a round of drinks in, but take stock of your account and try not to over-spend. Give yourself a breather too, space and time-out can allow you to focus on the future and clear your head

8 Earth Star – With last month often being a transitional time, this month brings you into a stronger position (the 6 House) to make those important decisions about which way to go next. This house, can often put you in the driving seat and you may find others looking to you for guidance. As it relates to Autumn and a feeling of consolidation, remain flexible and don’t get drained with trying to cross every ‘t’ and burden yourself with too much fine detail.

7 Metal Star – A double-whammy month and as I mentioned above a triple-whammy on certain days. My advice is to stay as grounded as possible this month. Allow the attention to head your way, taking note of what’s on offer. Look at all the options laid out in front of you and try to avoid making any rash decisions. Best to wait until April. As this house relates to bones it can be a time of breakages and so take extra care if you are involved in competitive sports for example.

6 Metal Star – I’ll try and keep this brief as I know you are probably in a hurry! ;-) – It’s all go for you at the moment, lots of options and plans underway. I advise you to try and get some of these completed before next month (April). As this month (March) is a continuation of the growth phase of February, you may get carried away with many opportunities, yet, try and remain focused on the ‘plan’ and remember to take time out from your busy schedule to recharge those batteries.

5 Earth Star – It’s all starting to kick off for you now. After a slow start to the year and if you’ve been feeling like your heals have been dragging for a year of so now, this is when it starts to get progressive. It’s a time of ‘birth’ for you. All those wishes and plans you’ve been carefully nurturing will start to gain momentum. You have had plenty of time to consider all the options, so my advise now is to just go for it! As wood relates to Liver and Gall bladder, take note of your impatience and don’t anger quickly. Drink moderately and ENJOY!

4 Wood Star – It’s easy to get a little frustrated when you occupy the 2 House. Patience is required, as the house reflects a time to prepare. You may feel a lot more socially oriented and it often brings out the nurturing, maternal side in us. As the Trigram consists of all YIN lines, this is full force EARTH energy coming up through our feet. Take time out and slip those shoes off and connect with the earth. Recharge your chi, as you will need a full strength set of batteries for the next few months to come.

3 Wood Star – This is a non-progressive month. Don’t expect too much to be moving ahead for you, as this is a time to concentrate on YOU! The 1 Water house relates to mid-winter and midnight. Where everything is still and static. It is like the seed beneath the ground planning and nurturing itself for the next phase of growth. It is a great time to look at our intake (food, health and general wellbeing). Take this time to get in touch with your more spiritual side and get a notepad for writing all those plans that have been buzzing around your head.

2 Soil Star – As it is true for the whole year – You are on FIRE! – It’s your time to shine, and be noticed. The house relates to ‘fame’, ‘illumination’ and being under the spotlight. The same can be said for all those things you don’t want to be seen though, so deal with those first and allow what you do want to be spotted take centre stage. Now is the time to put in your request for a pay-rise. As FIRE elementally supports EARTH, it should be a very rewarding and productive time for you. I would however keep an eye on your sensitivity levels.. don’t take things to heart so easily.

1 Water Star – The 8 House this month can lend itself to you feeling slightly isolated and out of touch. It’s a MOUNTAIN in which we can hide. Don’t fall too deeply into its cave and keep a careful watch on communication especially on the days mentioned at the beginning of this newsletter. I prefer to look at this month as a study month, but remember to get out and about and keep up the social interactions. Health wise, the earth element relates to our immune system, spleen, stomach and pancreas, so it would be wise to boost your system with a healthy diet and avoid excess.

Looking at the property and flying stars for March as above. It would be best to avoid any building work on your property in the East as this is where the 5 yellow resides. The clashing sector is mainly the West this month, so arguments may arise here, but can be dulled down using the water element. Hot spots are the South East, South West and North West. Keep these areas tidy and clutter free and if possible spend time in these sectors. The South West is great for romance and supporting relationships.

All my best wishes,

David Walters Dip Chiro.

The FREEFLOW 24 Hour Meridian Feng Shui Wall Clock

This totally exclusive and unique 24 hour feng shui meridian wall clock is a one of a kind design by Feng Shui consultant and graphic designer David Walters.

The main hand rotates once during the day, the hour hand starting the hour at the bottom, it takes a while to adjust to and tell the time quickly. Hours are marked on the outermost ring around the clock, next the minutes shown every 5 minute The outermost ring shows the Chinese zodiacal animal signs and the two hour slots that they govern. The Hour of the Rat being from 11pm to 1am etc. There is a feint dividing line after the Chinese Astrological signs and the next two rows. This indicates that there is NO correlation between this and the following meridians and western signs. These do however relate to each other. There is a semicircle marked as a darker shadow on the lower half of the clock – the YIN part of the day, likewise the yin/yang symbol is correctly oriented with the Yang part (white area) indicating the peak of chi, at the top. Midnight or the North is facing down. The triadic wave shows the energetic direction of chi through the body from positive, yang (+) to negative, yin (-). This is also marked next to the meridian.
