CHINESE NEW YEAR 2021 STARTS ON FRIDAY – HOW TO PREPARE

February 10, 2021 by Master Simona

Chinese New Year 2021 for the Year of the Ox starts on February 12 (at sun down of the night before).

To View our 2021 Feng Shui Video Forecast, click here.

Since we are all spending a lot more time in our homes than ever before, this the perfect time to have a Feng Shui Consultation for your home (and home office) to make sure the New Year will support your living and working environment at its best.

Here are my key tips on how to prepare your house and yourself to receive the prosperous vibrancy of this New Year:

Discard anything that is broken or unfixable. Even things you have meant to fix for a long time but have still been left sitting there. This can mean anything: clothing, furniture, bikes, cars, or anything that has just been sitting there collecting dust. The general rule is either fix it or toss it now. For every one of these broken or unfixable items is holding back a piece of your energy. However, the simple act of fixing or letting go of these items will release the quantum particle of your own energy you have left trapped in them. This is a technique to disengaged your energy from something that doesn’t work, so you can direct it towards more efficient pursuits.

Ideally, this is the very best time for an early spring cleaning. Though you may have already done so in preparation of the Winter Holidays, this is a spring cleaning with a purpose. While you are actually dusting off, brushing up, and polishing up things, you are also removing stagnant energy from every room of the house and opening up the space for the life-force of the New Year to come in.

You can find some useful Feng Shui Home Organizing tips in our video class here.

Also, check out our upcoming class on FENG SHUI HOUSE ORGANIZING starting on April 17, 2021 and take advantage of our early registration promotion.
For the following 6-weeks, we’ll work together on decluttering, clearing and sprucing up our residence room by room, and we’ll get the energy flowing and thriving again.
You can have your housekeeper, or your friends and children helping you out. In fact, often because they are not as attached to the items involved as you are in the process, they may help you move through it all faster and more effectively.
This class will be recorded, and if you cannot attend Live, the Video recording links will be forwarded to you after each class.

Why is it so important to fix all these things before the New Year starts?

Because the newly arriving energy of the year can either be supportive for you or not supportive. This is especially true this Year for the Chinese sign of the Ox and the Sheep. If you are stuck for a whole year with un-supportive energy, all things that are precarious in your life—physically, financially, and in your relationships—will come back to haunt you over the next 12 months. And so, it is much easier preventing the drama from happening just by doing these few easy steps above.

Let me know when you’d like to schedule your consultation for the New Year. Since you are cleaning and decluttering your space, you might as well take this time to implement a little more Feng Shui! Call me at 310-860-8989 to schedule an appointment.

DOG YEAR 2018 PART 2: BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEW YEAR

October 2, 2018 by Master Simona

DOG YEAR PART 2: BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEW YEAR

As season changes from the Yang expansion of summer toward the Yin in-wardness of winter, some remarkable Feng Shui landmarks are coming up ahead.

This year of the Dog 2018 has proved a bit challenging, especially in this last week as we are approaching October, which is the Dog month. This seem to be indicating an increasing number of bumps on the roads to everywhere. These bumps maybe be slow to pass as we also enter the Three-Sha months for this year too (November, December and January 2019).

Ultimately, the effects of this Dog year, as well as that of the Dog month, will effect everybody, albeit a bit differently, based on different Qi components of each individual house and birth chart. It is one of those time where having a well Feng Shui-ed house really helps.

Having said that, if the year of the Dog has been especially challenging for you thus far – particularly if your Chinese sign is Dog, Dragon, Sheep or Ox – October may be a good time to hit the pause button.

This may not be the best month to take unnecessary risks, as the Qi of the Universe is not supportive.

This include physical as well as financial risks.

Definitely avoid risky sports and activities, careless driving, excessive drinking and eating.

Also, seek calming, nourishing activities like walks in nature, meditation, yoga, spending quality time with friends and family. This will support your psychological and emotional wellness, contributing to maintain good relationship with people around you and a serene attitude. The Dog year is part of the Fire element and can be very volatile and hot headed. So, preventing emotional feelings and circumstances from escalating can make a big difference in your daily life. It will also support your physical wellbeing by preventing all risk associated with excessive stress, and help you in making better thought-thru decision.

Financially or career wise, do not walk out from your job just yet. Nor sign any contract without doing your due diligence and having had the opinion of a third (or even fourth) party. Mistaken made now will probably not take care of themselves, but rather have the chance of coming back and haunt you later.

The Dog Month starts October 8 and ends November 7, 2018.

The Three-Sha Months will follow. These three months will be a very good time for reflection and introspective analysis, as well as evaluating, planning and prepare us for the New Year ahead. It is a good time to catch up with all the loose ends left hanging for the past three years: clear the air, mend fences, and build strong relationships for the future. The slower energy of winter will be very helpful for that.

The Three-Sha months will end at Chinese New Year on February 5, 2019.

As usual, we’ll have a full New Year Forecast in January 2019. Watch out for your invite!!

FENG SHUI FOR CAREER SUCCESS CLASSES IN SANTA MONICA, CA

May 15, 2017 by Master Simona

When we plan Feng Shui for Career Success, we are planning for financial success, but also for much more than that.

What makes the difference between a “career” and just a ”job” is that in a career we invest our passion, our dreams and our plans for the future. It is not just a pay check, is a long term relationship with other people and circumstances that will help us grow as persons as well.

Hence, part of planning your Feng Shui for Career Success involves activating your talents, your leadership, your business charisma, and your cooperation abilities.

For years, I have watched as my students attend professional classes with the desire of helping others by using Feng Shui either as professional consultants, or as designers with Feng Shui proficiency. In the process, they also discovered Feng Shui can be useful for them, to improve their own lives and their own career.

As soon as my last Advanced Feng Shui course was completed last year, half of the students were off moving into new places that they can now pre-selected thanks to what they learn in the Advanced Feng Shui course.

Eventually they all moved into excellent Feng Shui homes. In within few weeks after moving in these new places, they all experienced extraordinary miracles in their lives, lot of them related to their careers.

Here are some of the success stories they shared with me (I am changing the names for privacy purposes):

Mary, who works full time for a famous nation-wide corporation got the promotion she has been waiting for the last two year.
July, who run her own professional business, experienced an increase of customers while at the same time being offered a full time job in within the same field field by a larger competitor.
Maria, was placed in an unpaid “leave of absence” by her company before taking our course and wasn’t sure if she would ever get her job back. She did get her job back, and shortly after she got a rise too.
Doan lost his job shortly after relocating across country to take it. After the Feng Shui chages, he was hired back by the same company. An offer which he refused, to accept instead an offer by a different company for his “real” dream job.
Jen, an interior designer, was hired by a Los Angeles firm where Feng Shui services are in high demand.
Racheal has become a real estate agent and helps investors finding building they can fix and flip effectively while creating good karma for these same buildings (and future owners) thru her Feng Shui expertise.
Miko, Belinda and Gabi also interior designers and architects, have expanded their services to specialize in Feng Shui and are now busy around the clock while continuing our Mastery Program to gain professional grade proficiency.

These are only few of the success stories our students have experienced after applying Feng Shui in their own lives.

We invite you to join us for our upcoming in-person classes on Feng Shui for Career Success coming up on May 24 and for our Professional Certification Webinar Course in Advanced Feng Shui and see for yourself what Feng Shui can do for you and for your career.

I am looking forward to having you in our Feng Shui In-Person Classes in Santa Monica, CA!!

Year of the Monkey 2016: How to Prepare for it in the Chinese Calendar

January 27, 2016 by Master Simona

Every year, the Chinese New Year is about a month off from the regular, Gregorian New Year. This year is the year of the Monkey and it is going to be on February 8, while the “Spring Stand” is on February 5.

In Feng Shui, the “Spring Stand” is a particularly big deal, even more so than the Traditional New Year. This is so because February 5 is the midpoint between the Winter Solstice (December 21) and the Spring Equinox (March 21). This is the official time when the Yin-ness of winter ends and the Yang-ness of spring begins. Hence the definition: “The end of Yin, the beginning of Yang” (hence the term “Spring Stand”).

So, what does it all mean?

It means that the energy of the previous year is fully exhausted and that as of February 5, the New Year’s new, vibrant energy is going to come in, like a newborn baby.

This is why, if you have done any business with Hong Kong or Asia, you have noticed that the month of January in general is not a good month to start any new business ventures—contrary to us in the West where we love to implement our New Year’s resolutions on January 1.

This is an acknowledgment that the energy globally is exhausted and so what is the point of starting something new now? You might as well just wait until after the Chinese New Year and the Spring Stand when the energy is fresh and vibrant.

But how do we prepare for it to make sure we get the very best out of this New Year’s energy?

Below I have included the 4 main things I recommend for all my clients to do. In addition, this is the perfect time to have a Feng Shui Consultation for your home or office to make sure the New Year will support your living and working environment at its best.

Also don’t forget to attend my Free, Live, 1 Hour Online Webinar for the 2016 Feng Shui Forecast, the Year of the Monkey, on February 3 at 11 AM, PST.

Here are my 4 key tips on how to prepare your house and yourself to receive the prosperous vibrancy of this New Year:

Go through your house, garage, office, and any building you own and discard anything that is broken or unfixable. Even things you have meant to fix for a long time but have still been left sitting there forever (because you didn’t have the time); they all have to go. And I mean everything: clothing, furniture, bikes, cars, or anything that has just been sitting there collecting dust; either fix it or toss it now. For every one of these broken or unfixable items is holding back a piece of your energy if you let it continue to just sit there. However, the simple act of fixing or letting go of these items will release the quantum particle of your own energy you have left trapped in them. This is a technique to bring more of your own energy back to you.

Ideally, this is the very best time for spring cleaning. Though you may have already done so in preparation of the holidays, this is a spring cleaning with a purpose. While you are actually dusting off, brushing up, and polishing up things, you are also removing stagnant energy from every room of the house and opening up the space for the life-force of the New Year to come in. I promise you’ll feel the difference immediately!

P.S.: This and tip 1 above are not a martyrdom exercise. You can have a professional organizer, your housekeeper, or your friends and children help out. If fact, often because they are not as attached to the items involved as you are in the process, they may help you move through it all faster and more effectively. The real point is “just get it done” however you can.

Next, redecorate some areas based on the new Feng Shui energy. When I consult with you on your house, I will tell you where the best locations are and where the bad locations are throughout it. This way we can fix or avoid the bad spots and rearrange the furniture so you can spend more time in the good areas instead of the bad ones. In the process, we may also shift some of the furniture from room to room too, so you’ll have a house makeover in addition to an energy makeover. (You will not need to buy new furniture, unless you want to.)

After doing all this work, take a few minutes to sit down and think about people and circumstances in your life that are broken, especially ones that upset you a bit (or a lot) over the past year. Can they be mended? Relationships are not like furniture. Most time it is easier to fix them than replace them. Can you do that? What would it take for you to do that? Holding a grudge into the New Year is a sure way to guarantee the same problem or circumstance will continue on. Could this be a good opportunity to fix what is broken with the relationships involved in your life? No matter how bad things are, if you are willing to make amends and kindly allow others to do the same with you, there is no relationship that can’t be fixed (even if fixing it means finally letting it go). This is especially true if we are late into our years in life; for if there is life, there is still hope. Don’t let it get too late. And what if they don’t want to mend the relationship with you? As long as you have honestly done all you could to mend your side of the fence then there is nothing more you can do. (Just be honest with yourself in the process and make sure you really are doing all you can.)

Why is it so important to fix all these things before the New Year starts? Because the newly arriving energy of the year can either be supportive for you or not supportive. If you are stuck for a whole year with unsupportive energy all things that are precarious in your life—physically, health-wise, and in your relationships—will come back to haunt you. You can bet on that! And there’s nothing better than preventing the drama from happening just by doing these 4 tips.

And don’t forget to attend our 1 hour, Live Online Webinar on the 2016 Feng Shui Forecast, the Year of the Monkey, on February 3 at 11 AM, PST.

Let me know when you’d like to schedule your consultation for the New Year. Since you are cleaning and decluttering your space, you might as well let me tell you how to rearrange your furniture now too for maximum benefit for this New Year!

YEAR OF THE MONKEY 2016 IS COMING UP: Time for a Yearly Update

January 13, 2016 by Master Simona

The Year of the Monkey 2016 is about to start and this is the perfect time for a yearly update.

A Yearly Update is a shorter yearly follow-up consultation designed to address the interaction of an existing structure with the New Year’s “entering” Qi (Life Force Energy). It is different from a Comprehensive Consultation because they usually do not involve major renovations or any new painting. However, the Yearly Update can only be done after a Comprehensive Consultation has been completed. That is why it is a follow-up.

Each building is like a person whose physical constitution can be strong (and healthy) or weak (and unhealthy). During a Comprehensive Consultation I address all weak aspects and provide recommendations on how to correct these weaknesses. After a thorough analysis of all the building’s aspects, I identify the best element to harmonize each room– one of the 5-Elements and its related colors and materials– and only one for each room.

When the 5-Elements corrections have been put in place, the house’s “permanent” energy has been completely addressed and these corrections are to be considered permanent.

But what happens every Chinese New Year?

The energy of the cosmos shifts just a little bit. This shift will have a major effect on new constructions (or large structural renovations). However, the effects on an already existing building are different.

You can think of it as a change of season for the building, and some years are more favorable than others. Amongst these you have years that bring above-average financial abundance, others that cause money losses and a decrease in income; some years assist in fertility, others cause difficulties in relationships and poor health. Yearly Updates are a big part of Feng Shui and they are done extensively in the Asian community as part of the Chinese New Year preparations, literally to “ring in the good Qi.”

Of course if the building has been previously Feng Shui-ed the adverse effects of these extreme yearly energy changes will be softened anyway. However, many prefer to be on the safe side and have a Yearly Update follow-up at the beginning of each New Year to know ahead of time what to expect and to put any additional temporary corrections in place, if any are needed (and normally these will be repositioned the following Chinese New Year).

However, these corrections are not as extensive as those done during a Comprehensive Consultation evaluation and they usually do not involve things like repainting any part of the building’s exterior or interior or any structural construction (mainly because the Yearly corrections are all temporary).

During the Comprehensive Consultation session I also provide a complementary Yearly Update for the current year (or upcoming one, if done close to it) and give you all the tools and recommendations needed to successfully enter the upcoming New Year.

Let me know if I can assist you with your house, office, or business with either a Comprehensive Consultation or a Yearly Update for the New Year. Please call us at 310 860 8989 or email us at dr.simona@fengshuiarch.com to set up an appointment in-person or long-distance.

Feng Shui Tips for Chinese New Year 2015

February 17, 2015 by Master Simona

Just a reminder that Thursday February 19 is the beginning of Chinese New Year 2015 (in the Lunar calendar). While the Spring Stand (February 5th) tends to effect the buildings most, the new lunar year will effects mostly people, state of mind and well-ness.

Here are some quick tips on how to attract as much of this new energy as possible.

1) Old, broken or unused got to go: everything in your life that is irreparably broken – objects especially – need to be repaired of discarded. Appliances, clothes, furniture, car, old papers are “breaking” your energy every time you attempt to use it and can’t. So if they cannot be repaired, they need to be replaced with working ones. I know you think is not that easy, but as I am typing this, I am actually clearing all my file cabinets in my office. Easy? No! But it feels great when it is done and you’ll experience your energy raising exponentially as you make your way to the garbage bin.

2) Early Spring Cleaning: after removing any broken or unused object it is time to do a good spring cleaning. I am not going to be to particular about this. If you are very neat and want to do the proverbial toothbrush cleaning go right ahead. If you do not have a time and you want to do a vacuum-dust off cleaning that is fine too. No matter what, as you do it, you are cleaning AND shaking the energy in the space, allowing it to flow more. And because you have make space by getting rid of old stuff, that will have a “vacuum” effect in attracting new 2014 energy to fill up the space. As I am also experiencing it right now, I promise you’ll feel the difference immediately.

3) Rearrange your furniture: Everybody’s house is different. I just turned the room from where I broadcast my classes around to have better concentration with my students this year. As I have explained in my live presentation, different “energy” are going to occupy different areas this year and so you can rearrange the furniture to spend more time in the section of your house with better energy.

Have fun and enjoy bringing in more luck for 2015!

Feng Shui 2015: End of Yin, Beginning of Yang in the Jade Year

February 5, 2015 by Master Simona

Today, February 5 is officially the mid-point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Hence, it is considered the End of Winter and the Beginning of Spring in the Scientific Feng Shui tradition. This is part of the Feng Shui 2015 for the Jade Year.

Now is the time to consult for your houses, offices and business to set them up for maximum benefit in the next year. Since Spring energy is the strongest, it is advisable to take advantage of it as much as possible.

If you already had a consultation with us, this is the time to do a Yearly Update, which is a smaller consultation geared specifically toward this year’s energy.

Full consultations done during the month of February will receive a complementary yearly update as well. Call us at 310 860 8989 to schedule an appointment.

Best wishes for a blissful Jade year!!

How To Buy A Good Feng Shui House (Or Create One)

September 17, 2014 by Master Simona

As the real estate market improves, I find myself property-scouting with clients more and more often for properties to buy and live in. But how to buy a good Feng Shui house “as is” is rather complicated, mostly because Feng Shui was only introduced to the U.S. on a large scale very recently; hence, most houses were not designed with keeping Feng Shui principles in mind.

Therefore, overall most of the houses I have seen so far will need corrections in one way or another. It could be on a cosmetic level (colors, materials, furniture layout, etc.) or on a structural level (open a new door or close an old one, change a master bedroom, etc.) but either way, creating a good Feng Shui house from an existing house where Feng Shui was not taken into account requires a little bit of work. It is, however, also easier and less time consuming to do than trying to find the perfect Feng Shui house “ready to go” without having to do any corrections at all. Let’s face it: that is statistically probably one-in-a-thousand and being optimistic. (NOTE: although I may know more then you about Feng Shui, I still have to do the same growling search when buying a property for myself or my family, and seriously, there is no short cut – unfortunally).

So, how to buy a good Feng Shui house, or next best thing, how to do you end up with one?

Three of the most common consultations I am asked to do are:

1) Inspect a Property Before it’s Purchased (to ensure it is a worthwhile building). Some properties need more corrections than others, with an obvious increase in budget to do the corrections. During a pre-purchase inspection I inform my clients on what is needed to be done and they can then get a quote for its implementation BEFORE acquiring the property. This is the most effective way to financially plan your purchase and your Feng Shui improvements all at once. This is done during escrow, or, preferably, before making an offer, which can save you the escrow’s associated costs on the wrong property.

2) Move-In Consultation. This is done after the property has been purchased and happens sometime between the closing of escrow and the moment you get the moving truck at your door. During this time I visit the premises and make recommendations in terms of colors, materials, and furniture layout so when the truck actually delivers your items the walls are already painted in the right colors and you know where to place your main furniture. This is by far the most popular consultation.

3) Renovation Consulting. This is often also done after the property has been purchased and is most needed when the property in question is very old or is in unsuitable condition, or the new owner simply wants to do some structural upgrades to it before moving in. This consultation is more complex than #2 and it could be more extensive and require a larger budget. It will probably involve an architect, or a designer or contractor of some kind as well. This is also the most affective and least expensive way to change the energy of a property by incorporating the Feng Shui corrections during the redesign stage.

What is your situation? Are you buying a new house for yourself and your family? Are you curious to know how to improve your new (or existing) house? We can provide in-person consultations as well as long-distance consultations (thanks to the latest technology resources with satellite views of the property and screen-sharing video meetings) and assist you while you are buying your new home, or move into it (or plan to improve it).

Let me know how we can help you turn your new home into a good, great Feng Shui home. Email me directly at Dr.simona@fengshuiarch.com

Yin House Feng Shui: Royal Gothic Romance

August 27, 2014 by Master Simona

Master Simona at Windsor Castle in 2014

This is not your garden-variety Feng Shui.
Yin House Feng Shui is like the PhD level of Feng Shui. In a nutshell, it is Feng Shui for the Ancestors, aka Feng Shui for burial sites.

And who better to illustrate this than a long chain of Royals, whose lives have filled the pages of history.

I am in London this week to visit St. George Chapel at Windsor Castle, where most Royal ancestors are buried, including Henry VIII (Elizabeth I’s father), Victoria’s closest ancestral lineage (all in a closed-to-the –public underground volt, I know, very gothic) and the current Queen, Elizabeth II’s, father and grandfather. Given the worldwide impact that these Queens have had in their long mandates – unique for longevity and historical effects – I can’t but wonder how much of it was due to the Feng Shui of their ancestor’s grave site, know in the industry as Yin House Feng Shui.

Although most people may not care much for dead Royals – not much gossips, I guess – for a Feng Shui Master like myself it is a priceless case study in the effects of Yin House Feng Shui, a very complicated and unusual branch of Scientific Feng Shui that deals with the positioning of a gravesite for the benefit of the deceased’s descendants. A big deal if you are an aging ruling leader concern with the fate of your empire.

St. George Chapel – Yin House Feng Shui Case Study of Henry VIII

However, since Feng Shui was not know in the West until the late 20th century, it is safe to assume that the destiny befell upon the Royals—as everybody else who doesn’t plan with Feng Shui—was an “accident” based on the location of the gravesites of their ancestors. (Note: In the enclosed picture, the black memorial stone in the middle of the chapel near the black and white checkered pavement is Henry VIII grave.)

Intriguing how such “randomness” creates all sorts of effect on people’s lives, and more so when such people are decision makers and leaders, and their lives have effects on major historical events. For example: all three Queens were legitimate heiress, however, they also were not the most direct candidates for the throne. And yet, history twisted and turned greatly to eventually lead them there. Pure randomness??? What fascinating circumstances to study!

St.George Chapel

So, with dark stormy clouds at the horizon (in true English Gothic fashion) and carrying my best compass, I hopped on my way to Windsor with a friend and once there, “grilled” the willing docents available about each grave, date of burial, coffin’s orientation, and their relation to either current or past rulers.

Truth to be told, all the docents were extremely pleasant and willing to navigate me though the intricacies of British history and family trees for several hours. Hence, I have now gathered enough material for a long, long intricate case study analysis that will keep me occupied for months and I am expecting it will be extremely interesting as it unfolds.

After getting all my information straightened out and the compass orientations marked down, my friend and I began making our way back to London. However, once we left the castle we got caught in the middle of a major storm that made it impossible to travel, so we decided to stop for lunch at a local pub that could trace its roots back to the time of Henry VIII.

Coincidentally, that proved to be a wise decision since while we were having lunch lightening struck twice on the rail road tracks that we were going to be on, sending the entire line into shut down mode. Luckily we were warm and cozy in the pub and made our way back to London later in the day once the line was restored. Could it have possibly been divine intervention via the “Royal ghosts” that had us held up safely in a “Royal Pub” rather than sitting in danger on the tracks due to the adverse natural elements? In true English Romantic-Gothic fashion we’d like to think so! Specially because after all that, we found ourselves “delivered” safe and sound by the Royal Albert Hall, right in front of Price Albert monument.

If you are interested in learning more about Yin House Feng Shui we’ll cover that portion of material in our Feng Shui Professional Consultant Program. But due to the complexity of the material covered we recommend that you first complete our foundation class, Advanced Feng Shui for Architecture (available as a 18 Week Live or 12 Video program). These classes will provide you with the knowledge necessary to take on Yin Feng Shui information.

I look forward to sharing my findings about the Royal ancestors in St. George’s Chapel with you in our Professional classes!
