Friday, February 16th, China will celebrate the beginning of its New Year. Each Chinese year is given its name from the Chinese zodiac and each year is characterized by an animal as well as an element, and this year is the year of the earth dog!

Start the New Year out by thoroughly cleaning your house. This process is called, “sweeping the dust, and is symbolic in that it represents putting away old things and leaving the past behind.

This is a lucky year full of harmonious relationships. Success will be achieved through the quality of communication between people and learning that being selfless and generous can bring the promise of a more generous harvest in return.

The year of the earth dog is a good time to make lifestyle changes. If you smoke – quit even though you have tried before in the year of the earth dog you will succeed. It’s a wonderful year to start something new like a business or buy a new home.

The dog is the symbol of intelligence and protection, and this is a year to demand radical changes to our life conditions and to preserve the future of our children.

Famous people born as an earth dog are Michael Jackson and Madonna both who represent the characteristics of being serious and deliberate in their work and in their successes. And always masters at being able to communicate their talent to all of us.

Chinese New Year is an opportunity to celebrate a new start! Happy New Year!

I don’t know about y’all but I am thrilled that the shenanigans of the chaotic Year of The Monkey has finally come to an end! Get ready for The Year of The Fire Rooster starting on Saturday, January 28 2017!

Before the days of alarm clocks sitting on nightstands, there were roosters. People depended on roosters to “wake them up” so they could start their chores and go to work. That is what this year will symbolize: awakenings, triumphs, and success achieved through hard work, practical solutions and patience.

The Year of the Rooster will give us a year of the symbolic meaning of the rooster – ambition, pride, desire to be admired, punctuality, and courage. We will all prove to have more passion in life, especially regarding work. The inspiriting motto of this year is: “Go Higher!” We will all be encouraged to face our difficulties and adversities because we will all be braver in this year.

What happens when we mix the rooster with the fire element? In Chinese Metaphysics fire represents happiness and passion and by its very nature, is the element associated with brilliance and warmth. It is also associated with jealousy and conflict. The Fire Rooster is a year when everyone receives what he or she deserves.

The diligent and enthusiastic Rooster combined with the sizzling characteristics of fire will bring us the inspiration to get things done! If you have been postponing a project, the Red Rooster will light a fire inside of you to get things accomplished.

As a whole, this year (the 4714 Chinese year) will be successful for people in business, athletes, and soldiers and for people of action. I encourage you to take initiatives, be industrious, practice honestly and above all be kind.

Happy Year of the Rooster!

The Year of the Horse and Your Feng Shui

Chinese New Year begins January 31, 2014, and lasts for 15 days! Chinese New Year’s Eve is a great time to honor your family and friends by displaying and serving “Lucky Food” at dinnertime. For Example: displaying and serving Oranges is said to bring wealth into the household (that’s because of the Chinese words for “Oranges” and “Gold” sound alike)!
We are entering the year of the wooden horse, a clear departure from the slower energy of the previous water snake year 2013.

The Wood Horse year is a time of fast victories, unexpected adventure, and surprising romance. It is an excellent year for travel, and the more far away and off the beaten path the better. Energy is high and production is rewarded. Decisive action, not procrastination, brings victory. But you have to act fast in a Horse year. If you are not 100% secure about a decision, then don’t do it. Events move so quickly in a Horse year that you don’t want to gallop off in the wrong direction.

Are you wearing the best colors for you? According to the ancient art of Feng Shui, each of us has a power color based on the five elements and the day you were born. Sign up for my email list and provide me the day, month, year of your birth and I will send you your birth element and power color!
