At the start of any year, I like to look at all of my rooms to make sure I have a balance of the five elements: fire, water, earth, wood, and metal. You can bring those elements into any space in three ways:
- Color
- Shape
- Or the material itself.
Let’s break down this room: There is a lot of the wood element in the floors, the walls, and the ceiling. The fire element is present in the cast iron fireplace, which also doubles as the metal element. Any TV or computer screen represents the water element and the final element and one that it has the most is the earth element. Look how beautifully designed this room is and how it incorporates the outside and nature so meaningfully.

These photos were taken in Costa Rica three years ago on the Fall Equinox and they will always remind me of the power of Mother Earth – and the goddess Gaia. Look at how small I am in the bottom right corner of the giant gorgeous tree.
As our home planet aligns in this perfect harmony and balance on the Equinox, maybe we can recognize that we are as much the tree as it is us, and we are as much our enemies or the people we admire as they are us, we are all just an independent expression of the same soul.
I took this photo on a recent trip to Scotland. This is the furthest left-hand corner, on the first floor, of a hotel that is a converted castle. This room represents the business wealth and prosperity. What a great job! Doesn’t this room look rich? I can tell you first hand it certainly felt rich.
