How December's feng shui can affect you

December's Flying Stars are more balanced than last month, but is still on the yin side. The bagua above shows the feng shui energy and locations for December.

The guas (or squares) that will affect you the most are those that are tied to your Personal Best Directions, the one where your bedroom is located, the one where your office is located and the one where your main door is located.

The challenging guas and beneficial guas are more even this month. But it's still more of a yin (passive energy) month.

If you draw an outline of your office or home floor plan and then put a tic-tac-toe symbol over it you will have the bagua for your building. (There's actually a little more to it than this but in general this will work for you.) Once you have this you can label the directions so you know which energy will affect the different guas of your office or home.

The easiest way to activate the positive guas is to keep these areas busy. Have the kids play here, hold meetings in this area of your office and if your front door is in a positive gua that will stir up the energy, too.

You can reduce the effects of the negative guas by keeping these areas quiet. If possible, don't use these areas at all because the more activity you have here the more you will stir up the energy that will create the challenges you see here in the chart.

For example, if your main door is in the Southeast try to use it as much as possible this month to attract an unexpected opportunity or windfall. If your front door is in the Southwest it's better if you use a different door to come and go from your home or business to avoid losing money or having people steal from you.

An easier way to activate the beneficial guas and cure the negative ones is to place your feng shui activations and cures. That way you don't have to worry about whether you need to be in or avoid certain rooms each month.

You can get your feng shui cures and activations each month in my Time Feng Shui for 2008 subscription.

"Yesterday our fountain finally arrived (the one for this month's wealth cure). It was the final cure we were missing for November. All three of us put the fountain together yesterday evening and this morning I placed the quartz crystal on it. Later in the morning we had a major sale for my husband and this evening for me.
