Metal Sheep day, August 7 takes us into the month of Metal Monkey ⚔️🐒 - the second half of the Earth Dog year and the beginning of autumn in the Chinese calendar, a season ruled by Metal. 🌟 Go on and breathe a sigh of relief.... especially if you’ve felt weighed down from the year's strong Earth element since February, as Metal’s dispersive quality lifts away Earth's heaviness. 🙌 July has especially been punishing as the #Fengshui's stars mirrored the annual Feng Shui energies, and the Sheep and the Dog form a half "Earth penalty" (and a full Earth penalty if you were born in years of the Ox) - we witnessed plenty of earthquakes, wildfires 🔥, heatwaves, and volcanic eruptions 🌋 in the last few weeks alone. 🌟 While those will continue to a slightly lesser degree, we can expect a little reprieve in the coming months. 🌟 Check out my @functionalfengshui account or click link in bio 👆 for an update on the Monkey month's elemental energies. 🦋 Metal is spirit and beauty - with Uranus stationing retrograde and Venus and Mars in harmony on this first day of autumn, take time to review what the heavens have blessed you with in the first half of the year, and send your gratitude with a celebration of what the second half promises to gift. 🌟 Stay active this month as the Monkey brings movement - get outside, travel, go on a road trip. ✈️🚣🏻‍♂️🐵 #functionalfengshui #classicalfengshui #goldriverastro2018 #astrology #chineseastrology #taoism

The stars are quiet on Earth Dog day, March 7. With the Moon void in Scorpio from 0:55am to 2:03pm PT, surrender to the lull. 🐰 We are now in Wood Rabbit month in the solar calendar, the second month of the #yearoftheDog. 🌸 Wood element, a highly creative energy, is strong this month - a lovely aspect for artistic projects. In the #FengShui chart, star 4️⃣ is in the center. The 4️⃣ is also Yin Wood element, associated with Wind. 🌬 We can expect many wind-related events dominating the news in March. ✨ Collaboration is the theme of the month as the Rabbit 🐰 and the Dog 🐕 are secret friends in #ChineseAstrology. The monthly 4️⃣, together with the annual 9️⃣ in the center, also "combine" to make an auspicious, productive pairing. ☯️ If the center of your home is an open space, keep the area active - do your work, socialize there. ⛰🐩 #astrology #goldriverastro2018

Metal Rabbit day, February 28. Words have the power to make or break the day as Mercury links up with Pluto while squaring off with Mars. 🌟 Stand up to truth, let integrity be your guide. 🌟 Be conscious with words spoken or written as the day's Yin Metal, associated with Venus and her jewels, brings charm and beauty but can also be sharp with words. 🌟 The Rabbit, the Dog's secret friend in #ChineseAstrology, brings support. Work in the spirit of collaboration. 💛 *In this #yearoftheDog, you can carry a charm or pendant of the Rabbit for protection, especially if you were born in the year of the Dragon, Ox, or Sheep. 🌟🐰#goldriverastro2018 #astrology

The heavenly sky's quiet on Earth Ox day, February 26. ✨ Even the Moon is void in her home sign Cancer from 1:51pm to 8:42pm PT. 🌓Enjoy the lull - tune in within, connect to Mother Earth, associated with the day's Yin Earth, feel her rhythm of peace. 🌎✨ *I'm writing shorter pieces this week as I'm traveling If you want to review / catch up on the #yearofthedog's #FengShui and #chineseastrology tips, you can search #goldriverastro2018

Metal Snake day, February 18. The Sun and Mercury are now in Pisces, deepening intuition and connection to spirit. ✨ Let love, beauty and creativity feed your soul. Speak and act from a place of love. 💛 The day's Yin Metal, associated with Venus and her jewels, brings beauty and charm, especially through words and images.🌟 Stay mindful on the road as the Snake and the Tiger (month) are travel stars. 🌟🐍 *In the #yearoftheDog, the annual star 8️⃣, the most auspicious star in our current period 8️⃣ visits the Southeast, where the Snake 🐍 and the Dragon 🐲 are located in the #FengShui compass' 24 directions. ✨ Keep your SE sector active to activate the prosperity associated with 8️⃣. **This is just a general overview - Feng Shui's yearly influence varies depending on the annual star's interaction with the home's unique natal/permanent ✨ stars (the invisible energies) and the specific environmental forms of the location itself. ☯️ #astrology #chineseastrology #goldriverastro2018

Earth Rabbit day, February 16 takes us into the official first day of the lunar #yearoftheDog 🐩. Gong Xi Fa Cai! 🐾 In the Bagua / #FengShui chart of the year, Star 9️⃣ Purple "flies" to the center, represented by the Trigram Fire 🔥. These "flying stars" in the Feng Shui chart represent elemental energies in the environment. Whereas the previous year of the Rooster had Star 1 in the center (ruled by Water 💧, which was a big environmental theme in 2017), we can expect 2018 to be dominated by Fire 🔥 and Earth ⛰ related issues (as Fire produces Earth in the five element cycle and the year's double Yang Earth brings heavy Earth energy). ✨ The 9️⃣ is also associated with feminine energy and spirituality as the Fire trigram represent the older / mature female. ➡️ Observe how the 9️⃣ energy affects your inner and outer world, in particular the Yin / #DivineFeminine side as a preview to the next Feng Shui 20-year period, which starts in 2024. ✨ Healing work and spirituality will thrive in this period - if you are a #lightworker, your time is only beginning, and 2018 is the year that will awaken many of us with visions of what's possible in the next 20 year-period! 🌏🐰 *We're now more than halfway through the current Period 8, which started in 2004 - a masculine period associated with the male youth (hence the rise of young, male billionaires in tech since the start of the millennium). ☯️ #astrology #chineseastrology #classicalfengshui #goldriverastro2018

Water Rooster day, February 10. Venus enters Pisces at 3:20pm PT: between now to March 6, our senses, compassion, and creativity are heightened. 💧 With the Moon void most of the day from 8:38am to 6:21pm PT, take time for dreams and poetry, or do major spring cleaning. 💧 We're a few days away from the New Moon, which takes us into the lunar new #yearoftheDog. 🐕 Whereas February 4th is the start of the solar new year (just like January 1's date in the Western calendar), the New Moon of the Tiger month (Feb 15 in the US) takes us into the lunar new year, a time of celebration. 🎉 The 🐓 Rooster, a star of romance and a Yin Metal sign associated with Venus 🌟 herself and all her gold, has brought a lot of love to many in 2017 (as well as spotlight on affairs and scandals). 🐾 The Dog, a Yang Earth element, is a more somber and grounded sign, compared to the Fire years of 2013 - 2017 - we've already seen this in the world's stock markets taking a dive as the optimism brought by those years' strong Fire has now dimmed. 💧 We can expect more correction in other areas of life, especially those related to the environment, as we go deeper into the year of the Dog. 💧💦#chineseastrology #astrology #fengshui #goldriverastro2018

The sky's quiet on Wood Ox day, February 2. With the Moon void in Virgo from 11:07pm PT till 1:47pm PT the next day on February 3, let go of whatever you may be worried about. 🌷 Tune in to the frequency of gratitude - an Ox day in an Ox month brings auspicious new energy. 🐾 With two days left before the start of the #yearoftheDog, use the day to do some house cleaning and dust away the old to welcome the upcoming new year. ☯️ In the Lo Shu / Bagua chart, the Ox occupies the NorthEast corner, which in the year of the Dog is visited by Star 3 - this is an energy that may invite arguments - you can put some red accents here after Feb 4 to reduce the influence. (In the year of the Rooster, the NE sector has had romantic star 4, fyi..) 🍃🌺 *The year of the Dog officially starts on February 4 according to the Chinese solar calendar, but celebrated each year according to the New Moon / lunar calendar, which is February 15/16 in 2018. 🐶 Feng Shui practitioners use February 4 as the day to adjust the Feng Shui energies of the new year according to each house's natal energy (yes, your home has a natal chart just like you, and each year the annual visiting stars bring their own influence that can either support or suppress the residents). ☯️ I take remote #FengShui clients occasionally on a case by case basis - DM me for rates. #astrology #goldriverastro2018 #FengShui2018
