Politics and The View

The other day I turned on the t.v. and on almost every station they were talking about the argument between Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar over Sarah Palin. Elizabeth is a staunch supporter of McCain while Joy is solidly in Obama's camp. What a contrast to this photo of happier days!

That made me wonder what their personal feng shui looked like for October. I almost fell out of my chair when I discovered that Elizabeth shares the EXACT SAME personal energy number as McCain and Joy shares the EXACT SAME personal energy number as Obama. No wonder they can't agree with each other or even agree to disagree.

Of the two Elizabeth has been catching the most flack for her remarks and behavior much like McCain is catching the most flack for his negative campaigning. Their personal feng shui for October says it all.

This year the Disaster Star sits in Elizabeth's Relationship direction. The same goes for McCain. That means that getting people to support you is going to be a real challenge.

On top of that during October the Relationship Star lands in their Relationship direction as well. Normally, the Relationship Star is beneficial but when you combine it with the Disaster Star for 2008 you get hostile, angry relationships. It doesn't matter whether you're right, you're wrong, you're nice or you're mean -- people are not going to be receptive to you. And clearly, that's what Elizabeth and McCain are experiencing this month. Too bad they don't know feng shui.
If you know your 4 best directions, and the feng shui energy for the year and the month you can set up your remedies to reduce the effects of the negative stars and activate your positive stars to help you even more.

Hanging Chads and Feng Shui

A few weeks ago we talked about a type of feng shui called Flying Stars Feng Shui and the feng shui personal best directions of Obama, McCain, Biden and Palin. I wrote that based on the Success and Relationship directions for each of these people and the Flying Stars energy on those directions during the election that feng shui energy of the McCain/Palin ticket is much stronger which would indicate that they would win the election.

If you remember back to last week's article Flying Stars feng shui is great for evaluating upcoming events. In Flying Stars Feng Shui there are 9 Stars. Each Star has it's own unique type of energy and these are:
Career Star - associated with cash flow from your career and academic success
Illness Star - associated with mental, emotional and physical health problems
Conflict Star - associated with lawsuits, arguments, divorce, disagreements, bankruptcy
Relationship Star - associated with networking, partnerships, friendships
Disaster Star - associated with unexpected disasters including major illnesses, accidents, loss of wealth, unforseen trouble, obstacles
Wealth Star - associated with promotions, leadership, unexpected windfalls
Robbery Star - associated with theft, arguments, power struggles, bankruptcy
Long-Term Wealth Star- associated with long-term prosperity, long-term investments, good fortune
Joy Star - associated with recognition, fame, happy marriage

Here are the Success and Relationship directions for the candidates in this year's election:

Obama McCain Biden Palin
Success South SE North West
Relationships SE South East SW

Looking at Obama and McCain's Success and Relationship directions you can see that they mirror each other. This is a very good indication about why they are so close in the polls. The energy for them this year is identical, it's just represented in different areas. If you were to just look at the energy of these two men without taking into consideration their running mates it would be very hard to determine who would win. It's a virtual tie.

That's where Biden and Palin come in to swing the vote. Their directions are different from Obama and McCain and they're different from each other. This creates a clearer image of the election outcome. The best way to look at this is to review the monthly Flying Stars for Nov. 4:

Obama McCain Biden Palin
Success Relationship L/T Wealth Disaster Illness
Relationships L/T Wealth Relationship Robbery Wealth

Obama and McCain have the same energy affecting them for the election but McCain has an edge over Obama this month because the Relationship Star falls on his Relationship direction at the election. This makes him much more attractive to the public at this time. Also, the L/T Wealth Star sitting in his Success direction indicates good fortune for his career.

Although Obama has the same monthly Stars as McCain the fact that they are flipped makes a difference because they're not as strong this way. Additionally, Biden has very negative Stars on his Success and Relationship directions on Nov. 4 indicating disaster as it relates to his career and struggles in his relationships.

Palin's numbers are mixed, but the Illness and Wealth stars are much better than Disaster and Robbery. In fact the Wealth Star indicates and unexpected windfall through her relationships. If the election is decided on Nov. 4 then McCain/Palin will win.

But here's the twist. The past two presidential elections have been extremely close. In fact, you may remember Palm Beach County being the butt of a number of jokes because of the "hanging chad" problems with our voting system. Well, folkes, the problem hasn't been fixed and the last two local elections in Palm Beach County have resulted in double counting votes, losing election ballots and lawsuits over a very close race between two county judges.

If the Presidential election is neck and neck again this year then the winner of the race may not be decided until several days after the actual election. In that case the Flying Stars would be completely different. Beginning Nov. 7 the Flying Stars change to this:

Obama McCain Biden Palin
Success Conflict Robbery Relationship Career
Relationships Robbery Conflict Wealth Disaster

Do you notice how a fight over the election shows up in Obama and McCains Stars for the month? They both have Conflict and Robbery Stars in their directions. Unless the Nov. 4 election is a landslide a fight over the White House will definitely happen.

But the Stars favor Biden over Palin. Biden has the Relationship Star on his Success and the Wealth Star, which is also associated with unexpected windfalls, in his Relationship direction. Palin has a strong Star in her Success direction but her Relationship Star is very challenging. In this scenario, meaning a decision over who wins the White House, Obama/Biden would win because Biden's Stars are much stronger than Palin's at this time.

This information isn't to sway your decision but rather to show you how Flying Stars affect people's lives. By all means vote for the candidates you feel would best lead the country. So few countries allow citizens to have a say in government that we should appreciate and use this priviledge.

At the same time, be aware of how Flying Stars energy is affecting you in your life so that you can determine when to carry out specific plans or events. Now is a great time for you to set up your 4 best directions and apply Flying Stars activations and remedies to enhance your life.

Why McCain and Palin Will Take the White House

FENG SHUI IN THE NEWS: McCAIN/PALIN

As promised in last week's newsletter I ran an analysis on the McCain/Palin ticket as soon as the announcement broke last week. From a feng shui perspective she looks like a good pick. She happens to be a West group person, which is yin (female energy), and McCain is East Group, which is yang (male energy). Since she's female and he's male it's already a good combo from a balance of energy standpoint.

The timing of picking her is excellent. Her Relationship direction is associated with long-term success this month and investing for the long-term. Additionally her Success direction for August is all about creating professional relationships. Because there is an annual Robbery Star on her Relationship direction and a Conflict Star on her Success direction for 2008 she probably wasn't the first choice, but the timing of the decision was definitely in her favor.

At the time of the election she will have the star associated with unexpected windfalls on her Relationship direction, which is positive. However, there is an Illness Star on her Success direction that month that combines with the annual Conflict Star. This creates what's known as "bullfight sha" or fighting energy. In a home it usually means conflict between mother and son but in a career it can mean conflict between a woman and a man. This may mean that she and Obama spend a good amount of time attacking each other up to and during the election. Another interesting combination for her in October is that the Career Star lands in her Wisdom direction which would indicate that she made a good career choice in agreeing to be VP and this will be beneficial to her.

When I look at McCain's personal feng shui directions he also has positive aspects. His Success direction has a double Fame Star for the month of September which indicate he will have an easier time getting public recognition and backing from the public and his party. His relationship has a double Disaster Star on it, though, which can mean that he has trouble with people on his team, within the Republican party or that some news about his relationships causes turmoil.

The energy for his directions at election time are excellent for Success as he has a double long-term abundance star there. Additionally, the Relationship star lands in his Relationship direction that month which can help him generate the support he needs to win the White House.

The negative energy affecting the Obama/Biden ticket seriously cripples their chances of winning particularly given the more positive feng shui energy that the McCain/Palin ticket holds. Now you know why they say, "Timing is everything." Either way our country is about to make history.

Obama Biden Not the Winning Ticket

Barack Obama announced that his running mate would be seasoned politician Joe Biden of Delaware. This choice, from a feng shui perspective, has put the nail in the coffin for Obama's chances of winning. Here's why:

As I mentioned in previous e-mails, in feng shui Obama is an East Group person. In general, this is a great year for East Group people but Obama's Success direction has a Disaster Star on it this year. Although his Relationship direction has a Fame Star on it, the Disaster energy is stronger so even though he is well received by the public (in a sense "famous") his bid for the presidency is overshadowed by the heavy energy of the Disaster Star.

Joe Biden, as it turns out, is also an East Group person. His Success direction is auspicous for 2008 but the months of September and October are particularly bad for him in two ways. During September Biden has a Double Disaster Star on his Health Direction. The last time this Double Disaster Star landed in his Health area was 1988 and it was that year that he had a brain aneurysm and almost died. Now, the Double Disaster Star on Health doesn't always mean death but it does usually bring a setback in health in some form.

September is also a bad month for Obama's career success as the Double Disaster Star lands in his Success direction next month. There are likely to be unexpected setbacks for him that weren't anticipated.

The following month, October, won't be much better and this October energy goes all the way through Nov. 4, the date of the election. In October the Disaster Star lands in Biden's Success direction which doesn't bode well for his career. On top of that, the Relationship Star lands in Obama's Success direction, which would normally be a good thing, but because the yearly Disaster Star is also in his Success direction for 2008 this combination means that his professional relationships (meaning his supporters, campaign team, or even the Democratic Party) aren't strong enough to carry him to success.

All of this feng shui energy gives the McCain team an opening to move ahead and capture the White House on Nov. 4. Once McCain picks his running mate I'll give you a feng shui outlook for them as well.
