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 Lance Armstrong Win Tour de France?

I joined Twitter a few weeks ago and found athlete Lance Armstrong tweeting there. It's been interesting reading his posts about his training and surprise visits from Anti-doping control.

With the Tour de France just a few short months away (July 4 -26) I thought I'd take a look at Armstrong's feng shui and see what his possibilities lie ahead for him.

July is a tricky month for him because the Flying Stars for the month match the Flying Stars for the year. That means his feng shui energy on his Success, Health, Relationships and Wisdom is double at that time.

This year Lance has the Conflict Star on his Success direction meaning that he's likely to get flack from his competitors even more this year than usual. People who do not like him or support him will be especially harsh in July. Expect name calling and more doping accusations to be hurled his way this month.

The Conflict Star on his Success may also mean that someone throws a monkey wrench into his efforts to win the Tour de France this year either before or during the race.

Another area you want to look at when you're looking at athletes is their Health direction. Lance has the Illness Star on his Health this year meaning he will need to rest more this year. During July the Illness energy doubles which could indicate unforseen health problems that come to the surface around race time or an injury that could prevent him from performing as well as he'd like.

If you know Lance tell him to go here to get his feng shui cures and activations http://www.timefengshui.com/ ...the sooner the better.

Hard work, unwavering vision and drive are certainly important. But they only make up 33% of your overall luck. Feng shui is another 33% of your luck and when you know how to work with it you can increase your odds of success.
