The next two years promise to be extremely emotional ones. After back to back mental energy years followed by a year of physical rest, humans will be provoked to emote. Soft Wood next year will be followed by a Hard Wood year in 2024, providing the fuel for the new era of future prosperity to ignite, catch fire and slowly burn for the next 20 years.

2022 was the Year of YOU! The year of getting to know you. The year of honoring you. The year of fully embodying and BEing YOU! If you don't feel like you've done that, there's still time. The new energy doesn't officially arrive until February of 2023. Your personal energy is still in your personal feng shui element's house. If you need some help, let me be your guide.

Just like people, houses and buildings have a personal element. Instead of the birthdate and sex of a person, a building's personal element is determined by the sitting direction. It's the personal element of the building that influences the occupants' life while they are living there.

They say "love is in the air". In Feng Shui, the "Peach Blossom" energy can be enhanced to attract new love and romance. This romantic energy, represented by the Soft Wood element, is known as the "Persistent Wind". So, yes, love is definitely in the air!

As I prepare to release the 2022 Annual Guides with excerpts from my series of unpublished books, I thought I would share my journey from feng shui enthusiast to The 8 Elements™ master and future published author of The 8 Elements: Feng Shui for YOU!

Feng Shui for Business supports you in discovering how YOU can build a business you love. Not to get rich quick and retire early. But to create something unique and valuable, financially successful and personally rewarding. And that makes you so happy, you wouldn't ever want to quit your business.

You can do ALL THE THINGS. Whether you feng shui or not, the truth is: YOU are the energy activator. Your presence in your space is what activates the unseen energy. And what you DO in that space is what determines your results.

After visiting other houses and hosting the visiting guests for the last eight years, we are finally going home. Back to our own house and all the comforts of home. Back to a space that is all our own for an entire year. To reclaim our sacred space we need to cleanse it in preparation to occupy it ourselves.

If you would like my expert, intuitive guidance on how to master your personal energy and navigate the energy shifts each month, I invite you to join The 8 Elements™ Mastery monthly subscription.

So, this year when travel feels like something you'd like to invest in, you might consider discovering the Best Locations for YOU! Devote your energy to learning about the feng shui of place and finding out where in the world you might feel the happiest and healthiest, most successful and abundant. That way, you can focus on planning some trips, vacations or even extended stays in the parts of the world that support you, your personal energy and your soul's life purpose, the most.

We can apply what we know about the 2021 annual energy to fashion and let it inform what we choose to wear this year.

In your Personal Element Energy Guide you learn about the Five Element's colors and their effect on your energy, based on your personal feng shui element.

In this blog, I will be sharing general information you can use to create, update or add to your capsule wardrobe.

In this blog, you will learn about how to support your children in the coming year. You will also discover how the annual energy might affect you, depending on your birth order.

In ancient China, people wouldn't know their date of birth. Date of birth is required to determine the personal element. So, instead of identifying people by their element, they would diagnose a feng shui problem and how it might affect someone in the family based on their gender, age and birth order.

In 2021, the Hard Wood energy will ask women to face even more challenges. This year, they are related to their health, relationships and emotional wellbeing.

Because each element is associated with a member of the family, we can look at the annual energy visiting their house to determine what kind of support they might need.

How do YOU prepare yourself for the new year? How do you feng shui yourself?
