California's Still Got Checks So Where's the Money?

Well I think it's official. The only group worse at running money than hedge fund managers is the State of California. They're not just broke they're so far in the hole they may actually reach China soon.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said California's government needs to become more efficient and learn to provide services for less. Hhmmm...that sounds so familiar. I believe this has been the mantra of most Americans for the past year so it seems that California has been a little slow to figure out that their bills exceed their income. Reminds me of the guy who told me his wife believed that as long as she had checks in the checkbook there must be money.

But it's quite possible that even if the budget had been well managed that California would still be in a bind. That's because the feng shui of the state is not great this year.

The feng shui Illness Star sits on the capitol of California this year. The Illness Star on people usually means health problems but on businesses and governments it means anemic finances so you have to work harder to make the numbers work and to bring in revenue. What's even more challenging is that the energy of the Illness Star will double in July making it even harder for California to resolve it's budget problem.

The State has other feng shui Flying Stars working against it as well. The Robbery Star sits in the area of government this year meaning local, state and national governments all over the world are being 'robbed' of tax revenue. As it happens the Robbery Star also sits on California's Success direction and guess what? The energy of these Stars double in July too.

Between the Illness Star on California, the Robbery Star on government and the Robbery Star on California's Success direction it's no wonder that this state is experiencing more problems than others around the country. And it's going to get worse before it gets better that's for sure.

California's citizens are not going to sit idley by and allow the government to cut their social services, access to their parks or access to education either. That's because the Disaster Star sits on California's Relationship direction meaning there's going to be a battle - a battle from the people receiving help from the state, a battle from the people who are being taxed to provide the services and a battle in getting aid from the Federal government to help out as well.

The Disaster Star does create havoc but it also brings about transformation. So the way the state has done business in the past is going to have to be overhauled in order to move forward and in the end it will be better for everyone. But it won't be easy and people aren't going to appreciate it that's for sure.

It's amazing how feng shui Flying Stars can give you so many clues about what opportunities and challenges lie ahead from year to year and month to month. What's more is that feng shui Flying Stars, unlike other ancient tools like astrology, gives you remedies for bad Stars and activations for positive Stars so that you can create the best possible energy to navigate your life.

Air France Flight 447's Mysterious Disappearance

Air France flight 447 left Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Sunday, May 31, 2009 at 7 p.m. on its way to Paris, France. At 11:14 p.m. an automatic message was sent reporting that the plane had an electrical system failure and a loss in cabin pressure according to an Associated Press report.

2009 is a tough year for flying. In fact the feng shui Flying Stars for airplanes is particularly bad this year. Although from Feb. 4, 2008 (the start of the new year's feng shui Flying Stars) to June 1, 2008 there were more airplane accidents than over the same period this year, 2009 has had 35% more fatal crashes than last year.

That's because the feng shui Fire Star sits in the Center gua (think center square of a tic-tac-toe symbol) in 2009 and this Star is tied into flying, airplanes and birds.

At the time of the flight there were two other feng shui Stars that were problematic. The first is the Illness Star for the month and the Violence Star for the day. Both of these Stars were in the Center gua with the Fire Star and this triple combo creates fire and electrical disturbances.

There were plenty of other flights that took off and landed perfectly safely May 31 but the difference between those flights and the Air France flight is that flight 447 crossed through a zone of thunderstorms with strong turbulence. The pilot's decision to fly through this zone is what we call Human Luck in feng shui and when you make bad choices during times of bad feng shui it can create disasterous results.

It looks like that's what happened in the case of Air France. My heartfelt prayers go out to all of those on flight 447 and their families.

Will Sotomayor Be Our Next Supreme Court Justice?

Initially when President Obama announced his choice of Federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor as our next Supreme Court Justice there was a loud round of applause. She's a woman, she's Hispanic, she came from a disadvantaged home and has become quite successful. All the things we're now looking for in our politically correct society.

But after a day or two abortion advocates complained that she may be inclined to overturn Roe v. Wade while Republicans complained that Sotomayor's comment back in 2001 about being better able to make legal decisions than her priviledged white male counterparts. It seems she struck nerves on both sides of the political table.

But what does her feng shui say about her chances of gaining a seat on the most prestigious legal panel in the country?

Sonia is a middle aged woman and this year middle aged women are in the spotlight whether it's for better or for worse.

But the feng shui Flying Stars that will affect her more are her Wisdom and Relationship Stars this year and 2009 is not that great for her. On her Wisdom direction she has the Conflict Star. This means decisions she's made in the past and even now will create friction from people around her. Even if she's been right or is right, people are going to give her a hard time about her opinions and decisions.

On her Relationship direction she has the Illness Star which makes it harder for her to connect with people whether they know her already or not. When this feng shui Star is on you it means you have to work harder at making your Relationships go smoothly.

What's even more challenging is that the feng shui Stars on her Wisdom and Relationship directions in June and July make the feng shui energy even worse for her. Looking at these two directions the odds of Sotomayor getting confirmed are slim.

Even when I look at her Success direction it doesn't look good. If her confirmation hearings are held in June she won't get confirmed unless her Destiny and Human Luck are really fabulous. The reason for this is that she has the feng shui Robbery Star working against her career that month.

So that makes 3 really bad feng shui Stars for June. You only have 4 good directions and when 75% of them are working against you it's better to lay low. Alternatively you can put up your feng shui remedies and make a month like this go much more smoothly for you but I still wouldn't recommend that you change jobs with feng shui stars like this.

July is slightly better because she has a double Windfall Star on her Success direction that month which can mean you get what you want out of the blue. Because that energy is so strong and that month is also doubly good for middle aged women to get promoted she could more easily get the Supreme Court nod if the hearings are delayed until then.

Doesn't all this make you want to know what your feng shui has in store for you and how you can take advantage of it? You don't have to wait any longer. Just go here and get your own personal feng shui outlook along with the remedies and activations you need to make the next 12 month work to your advantage.

Robin Soderling's Excellent Fate

Four time French Open champion Rafael Nadal was defeated by Robin Soderling today. The number 1 ranked tennis player was expected to easily defeat Soderling so the upset came as quite a shock to the tennis world.

Let's look at Rafael Nadal's personal feng shui for clues about today's loss and see if it tells us anything.
First off Nadal has the feng shui Flying Star associated with Windfalls on his Success direction this year. On top of that he has the Flying Star of Abundance on his Success direction this month. This is a great combination and likely helped Nadal today.

But when you're an athlete the most important direction is your Health direction. Nadal's Health direction also has a great feng shui Star on it this year. It's the Star of New Beginnings. But this month the Conflict Star is on his Health direction too. This combination of feng shui stars very likely created problems for Nadal and since his Health is directly tied to his profession as a tennis pro they tripped him up this month.

Now here's the funny thing. Robin Soderling has the exact same feng shui Stars working for him this year and this month, they're just reversed. So Soderling has the New Beginning/Conflict Stars on his Success meaning that he was bound to create controversy and at the same time launch his career in a new direction this month.

Then he has the Windfall/Abundance Stars on his Health direction this month which is a much better feng shui Star combination for winning if you're an athlete.

Feng Shui Masters believe that your Destiny, which is tied to your personal best directions and the feng shui Flying Stars that sit on those directions, accounts for 1/3 of your total luck in life. When you combine this information with your Human Luck (your talents and skills) and your Earth Luck (feng shui of your home and office) you have greater control over your life and can navigate tough times easier and accomplish more in great times.

Crazy Women in the Media

Today was like a feeding frenzy for news about crazy women. The local news talked about Casey Anthony's trial for the murder of her daughter Caylee Anthony.

Right after that the Today Show talked about Bonnie Sweeten's elaborate (but not well planned) story about being abducted and kidnapped along with her daughter. Turns out Bonnie was just on a trip to Disney World with her daughter after fighting with her husband.

And then came the story about Sara Jane Moore's attempted assassination of former President Ford back in 1975.

What's with all these women? Well if you look at my blog from way back when you can read all about Casey Anthony and her feng shui ties to O.J. Simpson so I won't repeat myself here.

As for Bonnie Sweeten's feng shui it shows that any attempts at moving forward in her job or life this year are going to be met with conflict and arguments. This may be what triggered her to leave her husband this week unexpectedly and to steal and use a co-workers ID to try to cover her tracks.

The interesting part is that her Relationship direction has the star of New Beginnings which means that she and her husband had an opportunity to either a) make changes that moved their marriage in a new direction or b) decide that it's time to call it quits. But this new twist of running away, dragging her daughter into the middle of everything and then alarming the authorities on top of it means that her new relationships will be with attorneys, the law and possibly other inmates.

As for Sara Jane Moore who attempted to assasinate former President Gerald Ford back in 1975 she picked a really good year to carry out such an attempt because the feng shui Stars on her Success and Relationships were both tied to injury with sharp objects in Sept. 1975.

The problem was that her Relationship direction was also associated with lawsuits and she surely got that in spades. In fact the month she was sentenced her feng shui Stars created what feng shui masters call 'crazy women' Stars. Interestingly enough Sara Jane told Matt Lauer people called her 'a kook, an alien and a monster.' Sara Jane was sentenced to life in prison but was released back in 2007 after 32 years in jail.

Feng shui does an amazing job of explaining what is possible in your life from month to month and year to year. It's like the catalyst that triggers events in your life whether you want them to or not.

But unlike astrology feng shui also gives you the remedies for negative Flying Stars and the activations for positive Flying Stars so that you don't have to be at the mercy of this energy. Instead feng shui allows you to neutralize, enhance or work with it so that you move in tandem together like dance partners.

How to Avoid Taxes Just Like Helio Castroneves

Today 2 time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves was aquitted of tax evasion charges here in South Florida. The former 'Dancing With the Stars' Champ was charged last year with 6 counts of evading more than $2.3 million in with the help of his attorney sister.

But today with the help of his lawyer, the jury and great feng shui all but one charge, which resulted in a hung jury, were dropped. Castroneves was in tears.

So just how did his personal feng shui work for him? Well, this year Helio has the feng shui Cash Flow Star on his Success direction. This means he's likely to make a good deal of money this year through his career but it can also help you hang onto your money if someone wants to take it from you. In other words, your outcome will be successful for you.

There's also a great feng shui Flying Star combination on the general Relationship direction this month that's associated with a windfall that leads to long-term abundance. That means that a windfall will come as a result of your relationships, in this case the jury and his attorney, that will benefit you in the long run. Since this direction is another one of Helio's personal best directions it helped him out too.

On top of that the feng shui Flying Star combination over Florida, where the trial was held, is also fabulous this month bringing him even more luck.

Feng shui counts for 1/3 of your total luck so it's important to use feng shui not only in your surroundings but also look at the feng shui that directly affects your Health, your Relationships, your Success and your Wisdom. Once you have all this it's like having the keys to your castle (or successfully keeping the IRS out of your wallet).

No Breakdown for Green Day at Wal-Mart

Green Day's latest release 21st Century Breakdown has been given the thumbs down by Wal-Mart. They want the #1 selling album's language and content to be cleaned up before it goes on the shelves.

Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong says they won't change the album and since neither side is compromising you'll have to go elsewhere if you want to buy Green Day's latest hit CD.

It's no surprise Green Day is experiencing flack because the feng shui Flying Star associated with Conflict sits on their Success direction this year. That means their going to catch grief this year whether they do anything to provoke it or not. That's just the nature of the Star.

But the funny thing is this Conflict Star works nicely with the feng shui Flying Star tied to Windfalls on their Wisdom direction this year. This means the band's decision not to clean up their new CD was likely to come as an abrupt outburst that would create a windfall for them.

On top of that Green Day has the Cash Flow Star on their Relationship direction which means there's an excellent chance that people hearing about the Wal-Mart ban are more likely to buy the CD than if the backlash hadn't occurred.

It just goes to show you that even though you may have negative feng shui Flying Stars in one of your four best directions (Success, Health, Relationshp or Wisdom) it can create positive results. You have to look at the whole picture.

Feng Shui of 66 Year Old First Time Mom Elizabeth Adeney

Elizabeth Adeney is causing quite a stir. At the ripe old age of 66 this divorcee is about to give birth to twins right before her 67th birthday in July.

Despite all the protests about it in the press the timing is actually perfect for her because her personal feng shui Relationship direction has the feng shui Flying Star of New Beginnings on it this year. This means new people coming into her life in one way or another this year.

On top of that this Star's energy will double right around the time her twins are born. Double New Beginnings and double new babies. It's perfect!

Looking at her Success direction, though, she has the feng shui Flying Star related to Conflict. This means her choices will create controversy for her and this energy will also double right around the time her children are born.

So it looks like Elizabeth will come under even more scrutiny the closer we get to the birth of her babies.

But here's the thing. Elizabeth Adeney's personal feng shui number carries the energy of Motherhood which means she'll be very loving and protective of her children.

Because your personal Flying Stars often get triggered without you even knowing it you may want to be prepared. Request your own Personal Feng Shui Forecast now.

In addition to showing you how these Flying Stars will affect your career, health, relationships and decision making you'll get all of the feng shui activations and remedies to create the ideal feng shui for your life.

Ron Howard's Personal Feng Shui Angel

Ron Howard has done it again. This week's release of 'Angels & Demons,' the movie version of Dan Brown's book of the same name, is #1 at the box office.

While Ron is a brilliant director there's no doubt that his personal feng shui is playing a role in his success this year too.

For 2009 he has a fabulous Feng Shui Flying Star on his Relationship direction. The Star is called the Relationship Star so when it's in your Relationship direction it's like doubling your luck when it comes to attracting people to your projects, getting them to show up for your movies, connecting with your audience and having people sing your praises. It's an ideal Star to have working for you if you're a politician, singer, writer or even movie director because people will support you without you really even having to try to gain their support.

On top of that Ron Howard has the Long-Term Abundance Flying Star on his Success direction. that means his work (making movies) will bring him long-term investments and projects that are very financially rewarding. This year he'll have the choice of a number of opportunities that come his way.

His challenge will be making the right decision because this year he has the Feng Shui Disaster Star on his Wisdom direction. This can cause you to make disasterous decisions for yourself. On the flip side, though, this Star can create amazing transformation in your life that lead you in a wonderful new direction.

When your Feng Shui Flying Stars are good your life is good. But when they're challenging it can feel like things are blowing up around you for no reason.

You can take control of your Feng Shui luck by getting your personal 12 month feng shui predictions. What's even better is that I'll tell you exactly how to make the bad Stars virtually disappear and make the good Stars shine even brighter for you.

Feng Shui Robbery?

This past week my son came home from school and said, "Mom! My friend Matthew's house was robbed yesterday!"

The good news is that the family wasn't home so no one was hurt. The bad news is that they lost some valuable items and now feel quite vulnerable too.

When I heard about the robbery the first thing that came to mind is: I'll be their house faces East." (Whenever I hear good news or bad my mind always jumps to the feng shui of the situation.)
Sure enough. I looked up the address on Google and the front of the house does face east (it's the house with the red dot over it). This year the feng shui Robbery Star sits in the east meaning that homes and businesses that face this direction have an increased chance of losing money, being robbed, going bankrupt or having expenses drain away income.

On top of that another feng shui energy called The 3 Killings is in the East. When you combine the 3 Killings with the Robbery Star the negative energy is intensified. In other words, it's a bad combination and one you want to avoid if you can.

On top of that the house is at the end of a T-intersection. The road runs right into their house. This is bad feng shui design because it creates 'attack' energy for the home and the people who live there.

Since you can't move a home like this and it's not practical to just pick up and move your best bet is to use Landscape Feng Shui and Flying Star Feng Shui (which I also call Time Feng Shui) to tone down this negative energy as much as possible.

This way the energy is not so overwhelming for you and you can be prepared for years when the Flying Stars on your front door are not so great.

No More Jon & Kate (Plus 8)?

The two most troublesome personal feng shui numbers I've seen this year are people who are #2's or #8's and Jon and Kate are no exception. He's a 2 and she's an 8. Double whammy.

Rumor on the internet is that they're both cheating on each other and neither one wants to try to make the marriage work. It's expected that they'll announce they're getting a divorce soon.

It's too bad if that's the case. I've never seen their show but with 8 kids, her success as an author and who knows what else it has to be a struggle to keep the marriage thriving.

Whenever I see a situation like this I take a look at both parties Relationship directions to see what's going on there. This year Jon has the New Beginnings Star on his Relationship direction. If he and Kate were closer it could be a 'new beginning' to their relationship.

But for Jon it appears the 'new beginning' is with a 23 year old teacher he's suspected of having an affair with.

Kate's Relationship direction has the Illness Star on it. This means that people in her life are going to create problems for her that wear her down physically, mentally and even emotionally.

It also means she has to work harder to make her relationships work. Something she said she's not willing to do when it come to her marriage with Jon.

On top of that there is the Disaster Star that sits on middle aged men (age 30-60 in feng shui terms). Jon is 32 years old so falls right into that group. For him it appears that the disaster is the end to his relationship with his wife. It may become even more disasterous when it comes to an actual divorce.

In addition to that the Robbery Star sits on Families this year. In general this means families will experience a downturn in their finances, an increase in expenses or loss of money in some other way. It can also mean legal problems like divorce.

Put the troublesome feng shui Stars all together and it's easy to see why this year Jon & Kate may call it quits.

This goes to show you that it's important to take time to connect with your partner or spouse. Show them that you care, have a date night once a week and set up your feng shui to bring back the intimacy between you.

On June 10 I'll teach you how to Spice Up Your Sex Life with Feng Shui during my 'Virtual Lunch at the Feng Shui Cafe' teleseminar. Sign up here now before someone else takes your seat: http://www.palmbeachfengshui.com/FengShuiCafe.html

Drew Peterson, Feng Shui & Middle Aged Men

I don't know about you but the first interview I saw with Drew Peterson gave me the creeps. He was eerily calm about the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacey Peterson, and even had a smirk on his face when asked about her disappearance.

If you don't remember Drew he's the police office from Bolingbrook, IL who has been married four times. Drew went through nasty divorce from his third wife, Kathleen Savio, to marry his 20 year old mistress, Stacey.
Then in March 2004 Kathleen's body was found face down in her bathtub. Drew, still a police officer at the time, is the one who 'found' her. In Oct. 2007 his fourth wife, Stacey Peterson, 'disappeared' and has not been heard from since.

Kathleen's death which was initially ruled a suicide was re-investigated after Stacey disappeared. People thought there might be a pattern to Drew's ex-wife saga and started to raise questions about what really happened.

The authorities began to wonder too and decided to re-examine Kathleen's body. This time her death was ruled a homocide and Drew was arrested as the primary suspect.

His personal feng shui this year is ideal for legal problems and indictments. Let's start with his feng shui Success direction. This year he has the feng shui Conflict Star there meanining people are going to create problems for him and his success in life.

This month is the worst possible month for his Success because the Disaster Star is there as well. This can create major legal problems especially if you haven't been a model citizen to begin with.

Drew Peterson's feng shui Relationship Direction has the Star of New Beginnings for 2009. Interestingly enough Drew was engaged to be married again which is certainly a new beginning.

But making new friends in jail falls into that category as well.

This month his Relationship direction has the Conflict Star on it. When you combine this Star with the New Beginnings Star you can end up with lawsuits.

So this month Peterson has two directions (Success & Relationships) ripe for legal problems like being arrested.

The final straw for him is the Disaster Star that sits on middle aged men for 2009 and the Robbery Star that sits on this group of men for the month of May. This is a very negative feng shui Flying Star combination that can lead to major financial losses, violent robberies and other personal disasters.

Put all three pieces together in combination with his suspected murderous behavior and you get perfect feng shui timing for his arrest.

And you thought feng shui was just about clearing clutter.

Oh, Man-ny!

Well the Disaster Star that's plaguing middle aged men struck again today. Manny Ramirez, the 9 time Silver Slugger for the Los Angeles Dodgers, was banned from playing baseball for the team's next 50 games. He is also being fined 1/3 of his $25 million contract with the team too.

Ouch...

Though the drug testing board won't say what drug they found the news agencies are saying it's a drug linked to stimulating the body after steroid use has ended.

Looking at Manny's feng shui he has a couple of feng shui Flying Stars working against him. The first is the Disaster Star that sits on middle aged men. If you pay attention to the news you'll see there have been a lot of the stories about this group of men ranging from those who've been in the news for shooting their families to those swindling investor assets. And now another one for drug abuse.

On top of that this month the Robbery Star is on middle aged men this month. That means more men in this category will lose their jobs or experience financial loss. That's where the $8 million fine Manny has to pay comes in.

On top of that this same Flying Star combination sits on his Wisdom direction meaning the choices he makes this year are going to be life changing. But these changes don't have to be negative unless you choose badly or use poor judgment. Too bad Manny Ramirez didn't think of that this year.

If he only knew about feng shui he might have made a different choice. Knowing your 4 personal best directions (http://www.moreloveandmoney.com/) and the feng shui Flying Stars (http://www.timefengshui.com/) that affect them can save you money and headaches. Go get yours today.

The Secret Behind the Lawsuit Against Rhonda Byrne

Even if you haven't seen the movie The Secret odds are that you've heard about it or read the book. The success of this film that relied solely on viral marketing to get the word out about it has been phenomenal and made Rhonda Byrne, the film's creator, a wealthy woman.

But not everyone was exactly happy for Rhonda. In fact Drew Heriot, the film's co-creator, filed a lawsuit against her in April of 2008 saying she had not paid him the millions of dollars she promised.

I did some searching to find out more about the issue and came across the names of some other people who had been filmed for The Secret but did not appear in the final version of the film. Two of those people were Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks (http://www.hendricks.com/).

In an article Gay wrote for the Huffington Post he says that lack of integrity played a role in Rhonda's troubles. He and his wife wanted to show all aspects of the Law of Attraction while Rhonda's preference was to only focus on the positive side of it.

It was interesting to read this article because it ties into the 3 Lucks Feng Shui Masters talk about: Heaven Luck, Human Luck and Earth Luck. Integrity is all about using your Human Luck and apparently there were people who felt Rhonda's film was not created in that light.

What's even more interesting is to look at Rhonda's feng shui back in April 2008. When someone sues you or is angry with you it's a good idea to look at your Relationship and Wisdom directions to see which feng shui Flying Stars are sitting there because both of these areas will tell you 1) why you were sued and 2) whether you will be victorious in the end (assuming you know when the trial will be held).

At the time Drew filed the suit against Rhonda she had the Illness/Robbery Star combination on her Relationships (meaning her relationships were going to create stress and headaches for her and cost her money) and she had a Robbery/Conflict Star combination on her Wisdom direction (meaning her ideas were going to cost her money and could even bring a lawsuit). It's no wonder Drew filed the lawsuit at this time because the feng shui was perfect for something like this to happen.

The lawsuit hasn't gone to trial yet and may be settled out of court and this would be a good year to bring this problem to an end. The reason is that Rhonda has some decent feng shui Flying Stars on her Wisdom and Relationship directions this year. But ultimately it's going to create problems for her career.

If she waits until next year she will surely lose and lose big because the Disaster Star is on her Wisdom direction next year, the Fire Star is on her Relationship direction (meaning she will not get the support she needs to win) and the Illness Star will be on her Success direction creating cash flow problems.

Yikes!

Did this international fame and recognition that Rhonda gained from her movie have to turn out like this? No.

In fact I have found that when you do the right things, lay a positive foundation and put your best foot forward then the negative feng shui Flying Stars are more likely to affect you like a mosquito bite (annoying) than being hit by a truck (disasterous).

On top of that using your feng shui remedies for the negative Flying Stars is always beneficial too because they can reduce the effects of these Stars by 70 to 90 percent. Who wouldn't want that even if you're as squeaky clean as Mother Theresa?

The bottom line is: put your best foot forward every day and get your Flying Star remedies in place (http://www.timefengshui.com/). That way you've got the best luck on your side every month and every year.

American Idols' Winning Feng Shui

Well, American Idol is down to the final 3 contestants: Danny Gokey, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert.

All three guys are incredibly talented and all three have their own style. Their Human Luck is probably about equal across the board.

But what about their Earth Luck (feng shui)? That's where the odds are clearly in one contestants corner. Let's take a look.

Danny Gokey is one of America's favorites. He comes across as a nice guy, has a great family and people empathize with the untimely and unfortunate loss of his wife to cancer.

Since people vote for the contestants each week the Relationshp direction is the one we want to look at when it comes to feng shui. Danny's feng shui for the year is certainly on his side. In fact he has the New Beginnings/Career Star on his Relationship direction.

But this month he has the Conflict Star working against him. Since the New Beginnings Star feeds the Conflict Star this means it will be harder for him to connect with the audience this month.

Then there's Adam Lambert, the Rocker. He's a natural on stage and people love him. But his feng shui is really tough this year and even more so this month because he has a Transformation/Robbery Star combination.

The Transformation Star has been great for Adam's relationships this year but it can also turn on him just as fast. On top of that the Robbery Star on his Relationship direction can mean that someone takes something from him this month, like the winning spot on American Idol.

So that leaves Kris Allen. Kris has a fabulous combination on his Relationship direction this month: the Windfall/Abundance star combination. Nothing could be better for a competition like this one.

Feng shui is only 1/3 of their total luck but since Kris, Danny & Adam are all talented their feng shui could be the one thing that tips the scales in Kris' favor. We'll find out for sure in the next three weeks.

The Feng Shui Behind Pakistanis' Troubles

We have a saying in feng shui that there are 3 kinds of luck:
  • Heaven Luck - also known as destiny or fate
  • Human Luck - your talents, skills, relationships, etc.
  • Earth Luck - where you live and your feng shui

Each area is 33 percent of your total luck and your Human and Earth Luck can be changed by you while it is believed that your Heaven Luck is fixed and unchangeable.

But if you are Pakistani it may not be as easy to change your life as it would be if you were an American. And since where you live makes up part of your Earth Luck your country can play a huge factor in the overall outcome of your feng shui.

Life in Pakistan has never been portrayed as a day in the park by newspaper accounts but this year is particularly difficult for the people of Mingora, Pakistan. The Taliban is moving into town and over 500,000 are expected to flee the city.

If you look at a wall map of the world you'll see that Pakistan sits in the Eastern part of the world. This year the feng shui Flying Star known as the Violence Star sits in the east meaning fighting and violence will be greater in that part of the world than usual.

On top of that the city of Mingora sits in the Northeastern part of Pakistan. This year the Conflict Star is in the Northeast meaning more arguments and disagreements are likey in this part of the country than other areas. The Taliban moving in to Mingora has certainly created a lot of conflict and hardship for the citizens of that city.

This month is particularly volatile for that area because the monthly Flying Stars in the east and northeast are extremely negative and powerful. The east has a Double Violence Star this month meaning it's quite possible we'll hear of deaths and violence as a result of the Taliban coming into town.

On top of that the Disaster Star lands in the northeast this month. When this Star hooks up with the Conflict Star it creates violent arguments, disagreement and disaster...all of which the citizens of Mingora, Pakistan are experiencing right now.

What's happening in this part of the world is a tragic example of the awesome power of feng shui. When you're experiencing a tough time in your life and negative Flying Stars come in they can turn your whole world upside down in disasterous ways.

When things are going well for you and positive Flying Stars come in you can experience incredible miracles.

These are the yin/yang energies at their best and at their worst.

Fortunately you can control the energy of feng shui wherever you live by 1) knowing your power directions (Success, Health, Relationship, & Wisdom) and 2) knowing which Flying Stars will affect you, your country and your city this year and every month.

Mickey Mouse, Kids and Feng Shui

Disney reported that their profits were down 46 percent for their fiscal second-quarter. I hate to tell them this but it's likely to get worse, from a feng shui perspective that is.

Here's why. This year we have two stars that are unfavorable for Disney. The first is the Illness Star which sits in the area of Children. For Disney the Illness Star can create anemic cash flow because their primary clients for their theme parks, DVDs, CDs, books, movies, etc. is children.

On top of that the Disaster Star sits in the area of the Rat this year. Mickey Mouse is not only Disney's icon but also the primary character people associate with the Disney company. The Disaster Star can bring about loss of money, bankruptcy and even 'death' of a company. It's not likely Disney will go under but they've got a rough year ahead of them.

If only they used Flying Star feng shui remedies in their parks and at their headquarters it would help them to reduce this energy quite a bit. That way the year would feel more like a speed bump than a head on collision.

If you're life feels like you're headed off course I'd recommend that you look at your feng shui. More specifically you're personal Success, Health, Relationship and Wisdom directions which are based on your birthday. Then find out which Flying Stars are sitting there this year and activate the good ones and remedy the negative ones with feng shui.

Feng Shui & Mother's Day - A Perfect Combination

This year Mother's Day falls on a perfect day in a terrific year...in feng shui terms that is.

In feng shui Motherhood is tied to the direction Southwest and in 2009 the Windfall Star sits on Motherhood all year long. This means more women can get pregnant unexpectedly this year or become mothers (or step mothers) this year.

During the month of May we also have the Long-Term Abundance Star in the Southwest. This combination with the yearly Windfall star can create emotional upsets so if you give your mom a sentimental photo or other gift don't be surprised if the tears start to flow.

And Sunday, May 10 the feng shui Flying Star of New Beginnings sits on Motherhood as well meaning that if you've had disagreements with your mom in the past, Mother's Day is a great day to wipe the slate clean and start over.

If you're a mom I hope you have a great Mother's Day and if you're not I hope you get to enjoy time with your mother this Sunday.

Mystery Donor Gives Millions

Have you heard about the mystery donor who's giving millions to colleges around the country? The common thread among all these schools is that they are run by women.

It's no surprise that this philanthropist chose this year to give the money to female run schools because the feng shui star of Fame/Recognition and middle aged women sits front and center this year. That means women aged 30-60 will be in the spotlight more this year than usual, like Michelle Obama for example.

The money is going to scholarships for women and minorities. It's a welcome gift at a time when tuition is rising and parents are cutting back on expenses.

Since this feng shui energy hasn't peaked yet you can expect to see more donations to come.

Extreme Astro-Feng Shui May 5 to Jun 4, 2009

This month the Illness Star sits in the heart of the feng shui ba gau meaning that Illness is the dominant theme for the country, businesses and households in May.

The Illness Star is the least negative of the four unfortunate feng shui Flying Stars but this month the energy is double. This means an increase in colds, flu, fevers and other illnesses for people all over the world. It also means that if you have an ongoing illness that isn't well controlled this could be a tough month for you health-wise so take care of yourself. If you're overly tired take a nap or go to bed earlier at night. If you need a day off take one. If you need to seek medical help then do it. This is the month to listen to your body when it tells you to slow down.

For businesses it creates anemic cash flow so it's not an ideal month to promote your products, advertise or launch a major sales campaign because the revenue you generate will not be as good as you'd like. Wait until a better month to promote your products or services.

Middle aged men, listen up. This is a year of transition for you. In the long run this transition will be beneficial even if it doesn't seem that way in the short-run. The Star that sits on you this year will create changes in your career meaning your odds of losing your job, changing jobs, or even starting your own business are much higher this year than usual. This is the year you want to stop and think about where your career is headed and what you want to do with the rest of your life.

The reason I'm telling you this is that it's important to know what the theme for the year is because May is going to seem a bit turbulent for you. The Robbery Star sits on middle aged men this month and since it combines with the Transition Star for the year it can bring about loss of job, loss of money, robbery and in an abrupt or even extreme way.

The other name for this Star is the Violence Star so it's quite possible we'll see an increase in violent crimes by middle aged men this month or even to middle aged men.

Just like when your weatherman predicts a storm you may never feel a drop of rain at your house. The same is true for feng shui Flying Stars. Not every middle aged man will be affected by them the same way it just increases the chances of being affected by them.

I've found that in most cases (like 80% of the time) YOU have to do something to trigger the negative stars. So if you're company is going under and you've been pretending everything is fine guess what...this is likely the month everything will come crashing down. If you work for a great company that has strong revenues then you may lose a dime on the way to work and that's the end of your experience with these stars. It all depends, which is why I recommend using the Time Feng Shui activations and cures each month to create the best possible energy for you.

Now let's look at middle aged women. This is a great year for you (you went through the energy of the Transition Star last year so you won't see it again for a while) and May brings the possibility of an unexpected financial windfall or opportunity for you. Keep an eye out because not everyone notices opportunity knocking when it shows up at their door.

The only challenge you may have this month is mental stress due to people arguing at work or at home or relationship challenges.

The Feng Shui Conflict Over Airplanes This Month

First the swine flu outbreak in Mexico sends the travel industry into a tailspin leaving travellers to wonder if flying in an enclosed airplane with potentially sick companions is such a good idea.

Then yesterday the White House sent a Boeing 747 over New York City for half an hour in an unannounced photo op for the FAA scaring the citizens of New York and angering Mayor Bloomberg.

It's all to be expected this month because the center gua (which sets the global feng shui 'theme' for the month) holds the Conflict Star and the Star associated with flying. That means arguments, disagreements, lack of communication and even confusion when it comes to flying.

Feng Shui Flying Stars is a fabulous tool that gives you excellent clues about what is possible any given year and any given month. What's even better about this type of feng shui is that unlike horoscopes there are remedies for bad feng shui Flying Stars and activations for good feng fhui Flying Stars. The other difference is that you can get specific predictions for yourself based upon your feng shui energy number.

Can You Feng Shui to Ward off Pandemic Flu?

Every year there are new feng shui Flying Stars that affect all of us. The position of these stars paint a picture of what possibilities, opportunities and challenges lie ahead for us in the coming year.

About every 90 years the position of the Stars and feng shui elements (water, wood, metal, earth and fire) repeat themselves. When this happens you can look back to see what happened the last time this Flying Star/feng shui element combination occurred to give you an blueprint for what is possible again.

The last time we had the Flying Star/feng shui element combination we have now in 2009 was back in 1919. At that time one of the biggest challenges facing the world was the pandemic flu that killed more people than died in World War I.

It is the fear of another '1919 pandemic' that has world governments and World Health Organization worried about the Swine Flu these past couple of days. If you've done any reading on the government's preparation for another pandemic it's quite alarming. I won't go into that here because it's not the purpose of this article.

What I can talk about is the feng shui and what you can do about it.

Lots of people who read my articles are already practicing classical feng shui so what I'm about to say may seem over simplified. But more and more people reading this blog are not familiar with feng shui or only have a basic understanding of it so I would rather spell everything out than talk over your head and leave you out of the loop.

First, Feng Shui Masters consider life to be made up of 3 types of luck:
1. 33% is Heaven Luck - which is your destiny or fate. They believe this cannot be changed (tho Edgar Cayce and some other spiritual masters have said you can with hard work).

2. 33% is Human Luck - this includes your talents and skills and how YOU choose to apply them. It also includes your friends, family and other relationships. Your Human Luck is under your control and it's up to you how to apply it.

3. 33% is Earth Luck - Your Earth Luck is your environment, the country, state, city and neighborhood you live in and even the home you chose to live in. It also includes your feng shui.

Where you live and whether you choose to create an environment that supports you (your feng shui) is up to you as well.

So that leads us back to the current concern over a possible pandemic flu. Knowing that you have control over your environment you can use feng shui in combination with your Human Luck to support you in any situation.

In the case of a pandemic flu using your Human Luck would include taking care of yourself, eating foods that are healthy, drinking plenty of fluids, washing your hands, resting when you are not feeling well, having supplies on hand for possible illness whether that be homeopathic or over the counter remedies and staying away from people who are sick. You may have other ideas as well.

Additionally, use your personal protection meditation. Your body, like everything else on the planet, has an energy field around it. Use your personal protection meditation to help strenthen that energy field.
So that takes care of 33% of your luck.

Your feng shui remedies include identifying where the Illness Star is in your home and office for the year and where it is each month as well (there are both yearly and monthly Illness Stars). Once you know where those areas are make sure you place your feng shui remedies in those areas of your home and office to reduce the energy of this Star.

If you have a chronic illness, especially if it's not well controlled, DO NOT sleep or work in the area where the Illness Star is located as this could make your situation worse. Move to another room temporarily.

If your front door is where the Illness Star is located DO NOT use your front door. Come and go from the garage or back door instead. Most homes and office buildings have more than one door so take advantage of it even if it's a minor inconvenience.

The other Star you want to watch out for is the Disaster Star. This is the most dense (think school yard bully) Star and is not one you want to mess with. Do not sleep or work in rooms that have the Disaster Star on it. Do not use the door where the Disaster Star is located to come and go from your home or office.

And of course, get your feng shui remedy in place to reduce the energy of this Star. You cannot eliminate its energy completely but you can cut it back significantly and in my book that's a million times better than doing nothing at all.

Most people only think about their Human Luck but when you use feng shui PLUS your Human Luck you gain greater control over any situation in your life, including your health. Would you rather take charge of 33% of your life or 67%? Think about it.

You can get your feng shui remedies for the Illness and Disaster Stars as well as your activations for the positive feng shui Stars here and I'll even show you how to find the right places to put them: http://tinyurl.com/ab3qa8

The reason you want to get your feng shui remedies and cures up NOW and not when disaster strikes is that feng shui works in cycles of 9. About 80% of you will experience the benefits of their feng shui activations within 9 weeks.

In 9 weeks we will be in the worst month of the year for Illness and Disasters because in July the yearly and monthly Disaster and Illness Stars come together meaning their energy doubles. Normally you do not see flu outbreaks in summer but the Swine flu may be different because we're just hearing about it and it's the end of April, well past the usual winter flu season.

If you want to prepare your environment and create the best possible feng shui for you and your family and even co-workers I would recommend that you get your Flying Star remedies and cures up now rather than waiting until July. If that makes sense to you then go here to get them now: http://tinyurl.com/ab3qa8

Philip Markoff's Bizarre Feng Shui

This week the news of a deadly killer using Craig's List to find his victims tormented the residents of New England. The police identified a clean cut medical student as the suspected criminal/murderer in these cases shocking his school, his friends and his unsuspecting fiance.

What's even more puzzling is that Philip Markoff (notice the similarity to Madoff in the name?) has a great feng shui Flying Stars working for him this year. It's the Star of New Beginnings on his Relationship direction. He was planning to get married this year which ideally suits the energy of this Star.

This Star can also introduce new people into your life, like the victims of his crimes. It's unfortunate that he presumably chose to use the Star's energy this way because it could have been used in a very positive way for him this year.

But I think what tripped Philip up was the energy of 3 other feng shui Flying Stars and those are the Illness Star, Power Star and the Conflict Star. Here's what I see happening for him with these Stars.

First, the Illness Star is on his Health direction meaning he is more prone to mental, emotional and physical illness this year. Whenever the Illness Star is on your Health any disease you already have (whether diagnosed or not) is going to become more prominent to show you it needs attention. On top of that this month the Disaster Star combined with the Illness Star on his Health making it the prime opportunity for his illness to get noticed.

So far experts who have talked about Philip have said he displays all the usual signs of a serial killer. He probably displayed them before but the Illness/Disaster Star combination made these characteristics shine.

Next he has the Conflict Star on his Success direction. That means getting into arguments with people at work or experiencing roadblocks in your career.

We know that he also had a gambling problem. When you have an addiction like this it can be considered your career. We also know that the police think he beat his victims and killed the last one to steal money for his gambling debts which created obstacles for him this year and probably even arguments with those he owed money (you think)?

And finally he has the Power Star on his Wisdom direction. This Star is usually beneficial bringing about unexpected opportunities or windfalls but if you're power hungry and you want to show someone who's boss it can lead to destruction. Kind of like the police beating a guy to death for an expired driver's license. This month that Star's energy doubled and it looks like Philip used it to take his anger about his gambling problem out on these unsuspecting women.

It's sad that these women had to suffer at the hands of this man and it's just as fortunate that the police have been able to easily find so much evidence linking him to these crimes.

Illness Creates Problems for Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking was rushed to a hospital just north of London today after fighting a chest infection for the past several weeks. The 67 year old Cambridge University professor is best known for his research in black holes.

It's not surprising that Professor Hawking would be ill this month or even this year because the feng shui Illness Star sits on his Health direction for 2009. This month is particularly challenging because the Disaster Star for April joins the Illness Star in the Professor's Health direction.

Whenever Illness and Disaster Stars combine you need to be extremely careful, particularly if you are already in poor health. That's because this combination can be deadly. Let's hope he recovers from this event.

Don't let bad feng shui sneak up on you. There are remedies for years and months when negative feng shui Stars land in your Success, Health, Relationship and Wisdom directions.

Since feng represents 1/3 of your total luck it makes sense to apply it to your life and you can do it very easily with my book '4 Easy Ways to Ignite Your Love Life and Fatten Up Your Wallet' here: http://tinyurl.com/ce5ejt along with your monthly http://www.timefengshui.com/ remedies.

Andy Roddick Gets Married but Will it Last?

If you haven't heard already tennis star Andy Roddick married his long-time girlfriend and swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker yesterday at his home in Austin, TX. In addition to other celebrity tennis stars attending the ceremony Elton John sang.

Wish I could have been there!

My sister-in-law is getting married later this year and whenever someone is getting married I like to look at the feng shui to see if it supports or hinders the relationship.

If the feng shui is supportive then it's easier to get through the rough times in your marriage.

If the feng shui hinders the relationship then tough times can be really rough and separation or even divorce is more likely down the road.

In Roddick's case he has the feng shui Transformation Star on his Relationship direction this year. This star means that you let go of old relationships and make way for new ones and marriage is certainly a new relationship for him.

The challenge with this star is that it is two-faced and the other face is Disaster. This side of the Star can mean break-ups and in worst case scenarios even the death of someone you know. In fact, Mel Gibson shares the same personal feng shui and is going through a divorce this year.

This month the energy of the Disaster Star is watered down because the monthly feng shui Star is all about long-term commitments. So while it's the perfect month for Andy to get married it's a terrible year for him.

I hate to be a Negative Nancy but given the feng shui this year for Andy's Relationship direction I'd have to say the marriage will not likely go the distance. Next year would have been a tremendously better year for him.

Let's hope his Destiny and Human Luck kick in and turn the bad feng shui around for him.

Don't pick the wrong day to get married, set up a business, buy a new house or anything else. Find out the most auspicious dates for yourself here: Auspicious Date Selection.

Ryan's Got a Girlfriend

The tabloid (and regular) news is all abuzz about Ryan Seacrest having a new girlfriend. It's even more abuzz about Ryan admitting he'd be open to hooking up with CBS anchor Katie Couric.

Maybe they should do a Cougar show about that!

It's no wonder that Ryan met a new gal right now because his feng shui Relationship direction has the Transformation Star on it this month. That means making new friends as well as letting go of old.

But it's doubtful this relationship will last because the Transformation Star has a flip side to it: Disaster.

On top of that the yearly feng shui Star sitting on his Relationship direction is associated with having to work hard to make your relationships work for him. Given his schedule with Idol, the Top 40 show he does, all the travelling and other public events he's involved with even if he wanted to work hard at the relationship he probably doesn't have the time.

So what about his comment about Katie Couric? Well, Ryan's Success direction is associated with romance and older women so it's not surprising he would be interested in dating her. It could even be very beneficial for his career, particularly this year.

Are you looking to hook up with someone this year? Get my book '4 Easy Ways to Ignite Your Love Life and Fatten Up Your Wallet' and watch the sparks begin to fly!

Susan Boyle: What a Voice!

Wow! If you haven't heard Susan Boyle sing you're missing out big time. She left the judging panel of Britain's Got Talent completely awestruck this week not to mention the rest of the world.

Even Simon Cowell was left with his mouth hanging down to his chin.

It's no wonder Susan decided to leave the security of her home and sing for the world. This year she has two FABULOUS feng shui stars working for her.
The first one is on her Success direction. This year she's got the powerful Relationship Star helping her career. Whenever you have this star on your Success direction the world finds you charming, engaging and you can do no wrong even if you are not as talented as Susan.

The other star is on her Relationship direction and this one is the Long-Term Abundance Star and this is another powerhouse star in a powerhouse location.

With this star you can enter into long-term contracts or investments that come to you through other people. I'm sure Susan will be getting these by the bucket loads this year and good for her!

Susan shouldn't be the only one benefitting from great feng shui this year. You should be too!

Captain Phillips' Rescue at Sea

Captain Richard Phillips is being hailed as a hero for his daring attempts to escape the Samoli pirates at see this past week. A combination of Navy expertise and sheer determination gained the Captain his freedom yesterday to the cheers of everyone I know and the relief of his family and friends.

I don't have the exact date of Capt. Phillips birth so I can't comment on his personal feng shui but I can tell you that opportunity for disaster on the high seas is much greater this year and especially for middle aged men like the Captain.

That's because the Disaster star sits in the area of the feng shui ba gua designated for water. It also happens to be the area tied to middle aged men and the middle son of the family.

Less than two months ago we saw another ocean disaster when two professional football players and their friends went out on a fishing trip and never returned. The boat capsized in heavy seas and one of the guys chose to stay with the boat. He was rescued three days later while the others have never been found.

I believe the reason Capt. Phillips experienced better fate than this is that this month there is a very favorable star sitting in the north with the Disaster star. Because of this the energy of the Disaster star is reduced considerably. That in combination with the Captain's sheer will to get free worked to his benefit.

But there are some months when incidents like this and accidents on the water will not turn out as well. July is one of those months so if you are planning a boating trip, a cruise or you know someone who works on the water tell them to take extra precautions in July.

Another precaution to take is getting your feng shui remedies in place because they will create more positive energy around you. You can sign up for your remedies here: http://www.timefengshui.com/

Barrett Jackson's Flying Star

Every year the Barret Jackson auto auction takes place here in Palm Beach, Florida. Even though the event is less than 10 miles from my house my husband and I watch it on t.v. for fun.

This year like always the cars vary in make, model, style and price. You would think that since we're in an economic slump there wouldn't be too many people there but it's packed. Every seat is taken and there are lots more people walking around.

That tells you 2 things: 1) Plenty of people are still spending and have money to spend and 2) the feng shui is good for autos.

Yes, you heard that right. Despite GM's woes the car industry has a great feng shui Flying Star on it this year. It's the star of Cash Flow and New Beginnings.

That means that the auto industry had the opportunity to make money or receive money this year if they take a new approach to their business. This can come in the form of loans like we've seen from the government, sales of autos or even bringing in foreign investors to help them shore up their financial resources.

Obviously, Barrett Jackson's approach is one that's working for them and they appear to be doing quite well tonight.

If you want to take advantage of the positive Flying Stars in your life all you have to do is subscribe to www.TimeFengShui.com and I'll tell you exactly how to do it. Why should Barrett Jackson make all the money?

It's Not Always Fun to be Right

If you heard my Feng Shui Outlook for 2009 earlier this year one of the first things I talked about on the call was the increased possibility for fires, bombings, volcanic activity, plane crashes and earthquakes. The reason for this is the feng shui energy that sits at the heart of the planet for the year.

Since the new Feng Shui year began in February 2009 we've seen new volcanic activity in Japan and Alaska and increased activity in areas like Chile and other countries along the belt known as 'The Ring of Fire.'

We've also experiened more earthquakes with the most recent one occurring in L'Aquila, Italy but others have occured in Costa Rica, Indonesia and stronger quakes in California than usual.

The number of plane crashes has also been high. The most heroic of these was Capt. Sully's brilliant landing on the Hudson while the others ended tragically. There have been 17 plane crashes this year which is about 20% higher than this same period last year.

Fires occur year after year, particularly during the dry season but this year the fires will be even more devastating because they are more likely to impact on homes and families. The fires burning in Central Oklahoma are a perfect example of this.

The challenge is that the closer we get to July the more we will see this activity increase.

You don't have to sit back and watch as all of this goes on around you. In addition to using common sense strategies like having fire insurance, putting your valuable possessions like family photos in fire proof containers you can use feng shui remedies.

Feng shui represents 1/3 of your total luck and you have the ability to control its affect on you. Get your Time Feng Shui activations and remedies for 2009 and take charge of your life at http://www.timefengshui.com/

Natalie's Missing Mane

Dixie Chick Natalie Maines is known for her controversial style and words. And she's done it again this week with her controversial new haircut.
Some people are calling her a 'Dixie Dude' saying she looks more like a guy with her military issue haircut.

And it all ties right in with her personal feng shui this year because the Conflict Star sits smack dab on her Relationship direction meaning people are going to give her grief this year pretty much no matter what she does. Add her daring personality to the mix and you get even more fireworks.

Her Wisdom direction has the Illness Star on it this year meaning that she may not quite be thinking straight when she says something or makes decisions about her life and her career. Because of this don't be surprised if she says she regrets the haircut.

In any case it's just hair and if she wants to grow it out again she can. No big deal.

If you want to know what your feng shui says about you this year you can get a one-on-one consultation. Just click here: http://www.palmbeachfengshui.com/catalog/item/6643682/6510022.htm

Good Guy Brian Dawkins

NFL star Brian Dawkins made a moving gesture this week when fan Dan Leone was fired from his part-time job with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dawkin's old team. Dawkins has since signed with the Denver Broncos.

Dan criticized the Eagles for letting Dawkins leave the Eagles and was let go from his part-time job as a seasonal game day employee. When Dawkins heard about it he gave Dan his tickets to the Broncos/Eagles game that will be played in Philadelphia later this year. A generous gesture from a generous guy.

The feng shui energy on Brian Dawkins' Wisdom direction this year makes him more thoughtful when it comes to other people than usual. That's because he has the Relationship Star energy on his Wisdom direction this year. Following his gut instincts and trusting his inner wisdom will help him connect with people on a much deeper level this year than he is used to experiencing.

His move to the Broncos also shows up in the Transformation Star that sits on his Relationship direction this year, meaning the people he used to be friends with or work with will change this year.

And the Robbery Star sits on his Success direction meaning loss of money through work or even loss of a job which showed up for him as leaving the Eagles.

As you can see feng shui is very dynamic and robust. In addition to using it to create the ideal home and office space you can use it to see what your future has in store for you and plan ahead.

Government Says, "Oops" to Stevens

Today the federal government did a 180 on the conviction of former Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens. Stevens was indicted in July 2008 and convicted of not reporting gifts he received from the VECO Corporation. But US Attorney General Eric Holder said the prosocution exhibited serious misconduct and is moving to have the conviction withdrawn.

Wow...I'm not Stevens, don't know him and don't know anyone who does know him but the word 'framed' comes to mind in a big way.

Regardless of what I think I wanted to see what his feng shui says about him.

Stevens had a tough star on his Relationship direction last year, the Illness Star. When you're in the public eye your Relationship star is the one to focus on because this will have the greatest impact on you.

The Illness star on Relationships means you have to try harder to get people to see your point of view, to hear you out and to relate to you. At the time Sen. Stevens was indicted the stars for the month and the year created major stress on relationships which would have made it extremely difficult to buck the charges.

Then in October he was convicted and at that time the stars created a combination that seriously weakened his career and relationships. Although this put a strain on his ability to win it shouldn't have prevented his attorneys from overcoming the charges. But the government had the Windfall star working for it combined with the Robbery star meaning that they could win by 'stealing' something from the other side.

And that leads us to today's announcement by the US Attorney General. It turns out that what the government did was withhold information from the defense. In a nutshell, they 'stole' information.

The timing of this news ties right in to this year's feng shui too. Stevens has the star of New Beginnings on his Relationship direction this year and this is tied to the Transformation star this month. It certainly is a major transformation that will bring new people into Stevens' life.

The government on the other hand has the Robbery star on it this year meaning they will lose a lot of things this year: money, connection with the public and yes, even lawsuits.

Stay tuned. I'm sure we'll be seeing more stories like this in the coming months.

Power Up Your Feng Shui

At least once a week I get a call or e-mail from someone who tells me they bought a book to set up the feng shui in their home but that instead of being helpful these books have left them feeling confused and frustrated. Just when they think they understand what the author is saying they read further and realize they have no idea what they’re supposed to do.

It’s unfortunate that their experience with feng shui has left them frustrated rather than enlightened but not surprising. Just because someone is known for being a good consultant doesn’t mean they are good at explaining what they do to others. That’s why Jim Cramer has a show on how to invest in the stock market (Mad Money) and Warren Buffet doesn’t.

So I thought we would spend our time today looking at some basics you need to know about feng shui in order to get the results you want easily and enjoyably.

The first thing you need to know are the directions in your home or office. When I say directions I mean north, south, east, west, northeast, etc. Directions are critical to classical feng shui and without them your feng shui activations won’t work. This is why so many people are unsuccessful with Black Sect, Black Hat, Western and New Age feng shui.

These schools, which were developed in the 1980s and 1990s, are based on the Law of Attraction and not on the principles of feng shui. If you’re good at using the Law of Attraction or your home faces north then you increase your odds of being successful with these modern schools of feng shui. If not your odds of success drop considerably.

Next you need to know which areas of your life belong to these directions. You can find this by going to my website http://www.palmbeachfengshui.com/ and clicking on Feng Shui Freebies. Just download the Simple Bagua pdf file for all the directions and life areas.

The last thing you need to know is how to power up your feng shui with the best activation. In feng shui you have the option of using these three activations to get your energy moving:
1. Element – fire, water, wood, metal or earth
2. Color – each direction has specific colors that trigger the feng shui
3. Shape – each direction has its own shape

The element for the direction will have the biggest impact. Your second best choice is color and lastly the shape. You can use one, combine two or use all three. It’s up to you.

So let’s say you’re a writer and you want to get your creative juices flowing more. Take a look at the west area of your office because this is the area associated with Creativity in feng shui.

The element for Creativity is metal so you could put something made of metal here. One of the colors for this area is white so you could use this color instead. And one of the shapes is oval so you could put an oval shaped object here if you wanted. Or you could put an oval shaped object made of metal to combine two of the feng shui activations.

It’s that easy!

You can even personalize your feng shui using my book 4 Easy Ways to Ignite Your Love Life and Fatten Up Your Wallet. It’s available on Amazon.com and my website (http://www.palmbeachfengshui.com/)

Billionaire Cosmonaut

Dr. Charles Simonyi, a U.S. billionaire who helped create Microsoft, is headed to space for a second time in two years. Dr. Simonyi will be spending 2 weeks in outer space for the not-so-small price tag of $35 million.

His personal feng shui is perfectly aligned with his career, his interest in space and even with Russia as his doorway into his astronaut vacations. Charles' personal feng shui energy number (called the Kua number) and Wisdom direction are associated with technology which makes his success with Microsoft a natural fit for him.

His Success direction is tied in to the planets and the stars which is why he has been interested in being an astronaut since he was a kid. In fact, when he was 13 he represented his home country of Hungary as a junior cosmonaut and won a trip to Moscow to meet one of the first Soviet spacemen.

And then there's his Relationship direction which is geographically tied to Russia making it the ideal country for him to turn to to fulfill his dreams of space adventure.

Your personal feng shui says a lot about you and can even help you with your career, relationships, health and wisdom. You can find out how in my book 4 Easy Ways to Ignite Your Love Life and Fatten Up Your Wallet available on Amazon or at http://www.moreloveandmoney.com/

Casey Anthony's Lucky Break

A friend of mine asked me to look at Casey Anthony’s feng shui and talk about it on my show this week. I've blogged about her feng shui here before but thought I'd look ahead to her trial. As I was pulling up her birthday and noticed that she has fabulous stars on her Success and Relationship directions this year. It looked eerily familiar to me so I pulled up someone else that I thought had these stars during their murder trial back in 1995: OJ Simpson.

There's a reason Casey is smiling. Her feng shui flying stars are identical to OJ’s during his murder trial: Her Success direction has the Long-Term Abundance Star on it and her Relationship direction has the Relationship star on it. This is an extremely fortunate combination and makes it virtually impossible for her to be convicted this year.

So then I looked at the stars for the Orlando prosecution team. My guess is that they aren’t going to have enough substantiating evidence to convict Casey because the Conflict star sits on the Wisdom direction this year and the Robbery Star (meaning loss) sits in the direction of Government. This says to me the prosecuting team will lose the case due to conflicting information or evidence or that they will lose due to conflict surrounding the evidence.

The months that really favor Casey are May, July, November and December. The only month I can see that the government has a chance of convicting her (assuming she's guilty) is June or maybe August.

Flying Star feng shui doesn't care who's right or wrong. It just creates positive or negative opportunity through timing.

Do-It-Yourself Not Always Best

Today I received an e-mail from a woman in the Midwest who purchased a feng shui system from another feng shui consultant to learn how to become a feng shui consultant herself. In her e-mail she said that she is no closer to understanding feng shui and is just frustrated and confused.

I was sorry to hear that the program wasn't working for her and at the same time not surprised. Think about a terrific mechanic you know, or accountant, or doctor, etc. Just because they're good at their job doesn't mean they're good at teaching others what they do. That's a completely different skill from their main profession and the two don't always go hand in hand.

Another challenge is that not everyone can write. I know a woman who is extremely successful in her consulting and she's written a couple of books. The writing is very technical, hard to follow and doesn't make sense. Yet when she talks she's very clear. There's just a complete disconnect between her written and spoken words. Needless to say her books have not sold well.

Then there's the issue of wanting to learn something professionally and wanting to learn it as a hobby. If you're going to take on a new career you need to know what you're doing and most books aren't detailed enough for that. There's just too much information to cram into a book that's only one or two hundred pages long.

If you're looking to learn feng shui in order to be able to do it for other people it's best to study with a feng shui consultant in person because you will learn considerably more, you will be able to ask questions, you'll get to hear other people's questions which will in turn help you and you'll hear more than you would if you tried to learn it on your own. You'll even get to practice what you learn which is even more beneficial.

Think about it. Could you learn massage from a book and become a professional massage therapist? Or study weather maps at home and become a meteorologist? No of course not.

Home study courses are great for learning a new hobby and for do-it-yourself projects, including feng shui. But to really understand it and be able to help other people its best to study with someone who can teach you the ropes.

Natasha Richardson's Passing

While skiing this week with her son at the Mont Tremblant ski resort in Canada Natasha Richardson took a fall during a ski lesson for beginners. She returned to her hotel complaining of a headache and was later taken to the hospital where she died yesterday.

It's a very sad story for an injury that medical doctors said should have been easy to resolve. However, sometimes recovery is not our destiny as was the case for Natasha Richardson.

You see, Natasha Richardson's health direction has the Disaster Star on it this month. Her health direction is also associated with the head indicating that injuries to the head were possible this month. And because the Disaster Star is the densest of all the negative stars it can also mean death as a result of head injury.

In addition to this Natasha has the Illness Star on her relationships for the year and this month she had the Windfall Star there. Windfalls are usually positive opportunities that come from out of the blue but when paired with a negative star it can mean the energy of that star affects you from out of the blue. With the Illness star there it mean illness from out of the blue.

Sadly, Natasha's Relationship direction is also tied to children and her out of the blue injury took place while she was on vacation with her son.

Could Natasha have prevented her death if she had known this information? Quite possibly because knowledge is power and knowing how to remedy these stars could just as easily have turned her death into a minor injury. If she had known a serious head injury could result in her death because of her personal feng shui she could have a) put up the feng shui remedy to reduce the energy of this star and b) worn a helmet while skiing.

We're in an age where ancient wisdom is no longer hidden. It's available if you know where to look and when you have this information you help to shape your future rather than be swept away by it.
