2013 Zodiac Feng Shui

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!!

It's exactly a week to the Snake 2013 year! My last post was Auspicious colors to wear for CNY based on the Zodiac you are! This time round, I blog about Love, Career, Health and Wealth! I read a few versions which has been circulating and find them very similar. So here's one of the versions I saw. I really like reading such things, I am sure a lot Women do too haha! I mean, there's always the goods and bads so these should be read with an discriminating eye as they are based on general predictions for your Chinese zodiac sign.

There is definitely much more to every human being that just the symbology of the year the person is born. Still, exploring these feng shui tips will definitely help improve your energy and make you more aware of the potential the Water Snake 2013 year might have for you.

SNAKE (1989, I'm 24!!!!)
OVERALL: The Water Snake energy of 2013 is predicted to have both beneficial, as well as challenging energy for Snake people, especially in career and professional life. A better outlook is seen in your health and love relationship areas, so it is not all challenging for you in 2013. With the right use of feng shui cures and by taking the risk to be more open - in both personal and professional life - you might reverse the potential negative energies of the year.

WEALTH and CAREER: This is not the year for you to take risks, neither in your career, nor in your money management strategies. Take extra care of the challenging Center area of your home by placing there a salt water cure. The Chi Lin cure can work there, too. Also pay attention to the West area by decorating it with colours of the Water feng shui element.

LOVE: You can enjoy considerable luck in your love life in 2013, so be sure to have a good feng shui bedroom, as well as adorn your home (in a subtle way, of course!) with appropriate feng shui for love cures. Choose from peony flowers (if single); romantic art, rose quarts hearts, or the more traditional Chinese feng shui cures such as the Double Happiness sign or the Mandarin ducks.

HEALTH: Snakes are predicted to have good health in 2013, although, the state of your health in 2013 will much depend on your inner calm and a strong personal (emotional) energy. Create calm, healthy energy in your home, use the power of vibrant plants, fountains, crystals and essential oils to keep the energy fresh and flowing.

PERSONAL FENG SHUI: Look for crystals and jewelry designs with calming, energy strengthening properties. Crystals such as Hematite, multicoloured Tourmaline, Malachite, Jasper and Carnelian are just a few of many feng shui crystals to help you take good care of your energy. Explore feng shui good luck and protection cures and see which ones you can carry as a personal amulet.

It is also important for your sign to know when to restrain the need to constantly explore new options and settle on the one that has the most potential for you.

LOVE: The energy of your love life can be quite unstable in 2013, so the feng shui suggestion is to work mostly on your own energy, or associate with people you know very well. Other suggestion is to be honest with people you decide to enter into a close relationship, be it a romantic or a professional one, as your sign has the tendency to manipulate people with inaccurate information. A good feng shui bedroom, as well as taking care of the feng shui trinity in your home, are the main feng shui tools to nourish your energy.

RAT

OVERALL: Generally, the Water Snake energy of 2013 is considered to be a bit challenging for the Rat. 2013 can still be a successful year for business and career endeavours, as well as personal relationships because it will bring many opportunities for change. Metal and Water Rats can do the best this year because of element compatibility.

WEALTH and CAREER: To strengthen career luck, Rat people can look into feng shui career success tips and cures and choose ones that work best with the birth element. For example, if your birth element is Wood, choose a Water element (blue or black) rather than a Fire element (red or purple) feng shui decor item.

LOVE: 2013 can be both a good year for attracting or strengthening a major love relationship, as well as a year to experience being by yourself. It all depends on how the Rat people will use the many opportunities coming their way. The advice is to stay centred and focused on one's values and ideals, and, when clear, use feng shui love cures in your bedroom or your living room. Not taking a love relationship for granted and paying attention to your close circle of people will help smooth the overall 2013 love energy rhythms.

HEALTH: In 2013 Rat people will continue to experience volatility in their personal energy levels. A good advice is to follow health feng shui tips and bring health feng shui decor cures, such as the Medicine Buddha, or a Wu Lou for calming, healthy energy. Alternatively, look for strong, vibrant art images with potent energy that strengthen your personal energy; images you feel attracted to, be it mountain tops, forests or open vistas.

PERSONAL FENG SHUI: You can also look into good feng shui jewelry, be it with crystals and stones that work best for you (check the feng shui properties of crystals), or jewelry that employs various auspicious classical feng shui symbols, such as Pi Yao, the Dzi beads, Double Happiness or an amulet with your own Chinese zodiac sign. Know when and how to take the time off, so that your personal energy is replenished and rejuvenated.
