On October 8th, the 9 entered the center gua bringing its light and life, happy vibes and hope for future prosperity. This visiting Fire energy will be roomies with the annual Soft Metal energy until November 7th. Which means that this energy combination will still be present on Election Day, November 3rd.

After the world dramatically shut down this year, people began relying almost completely on online platforms, essentially overnight. To stay connected. To meet up. To host meetings. To conduct sessions. To offer classes.

The Soft Metal’s cutting edge asks you to cut out all the things that don’t serve you. Creating space may be painful in the beginning but worth it in the end. Be courageous and let the sharp blade of this energy make clean cuts to every area of your life.

One of the many aims of alchemists is the transmutation of a base metal into a noble or precious metal; turning lead into gold. If you find yourself in the the uncomfortable heat of the refinery this year, effortlessly release what no longer serves you and intend to become pure of heart and mind, body and soul.

Soft Metal energy can cause people to be passive aggressive or overly argumentative. Everything from subtle jabs to outright backstabbing and minor disagreements to all out wars, this treacherous and combative behavior can be devastating to relationships. Sharp or harsh words can leave people traumatized, sometimes for life.

In this second part of the blog series on 2018 Personal Feng Shui, you will learn more about what this year holds for you based on your personal element. In addition to the energy visiting your personal element’s gua, your personal element’s number is also visiting a certain area, or Life Center, for the entire year ahead. Unlike the energy of the number visiting your gua that brings potentials, where your personal element’s number lands and sets up housekeeping contributes to helping you set intentions about where your energy will be spent and expressed.

In the first part of this blog series about personal feng shui in 2018, you will learn about the energy visiting your personal element’s gua. Each year as the energy shifts, a new dynamic is created between permanent personal energy and visiting annual energy. While understanding the five element dynamics of the Fire year energy on your person element is important, knowing what effect the annual energy has the potential to have on your personal energy is also essential. That way you can make it the best year yet or at least make the best of the year ahead.

The spark of fire that will burn brightly and cheerfully through 2018 has been kindled.  How fast it burns and how wildly the flames blaze through your life, will depend on the energy dynamics that are created between your personal element and the Fire element. In this blog, you will learn about the potential effect fire energy will have on you during this very auspicious Fire year.

Each of the Five Elements are associated with a unique taste. Foods that have that distinct taste are the go to or favorite foods for The 8 Personal Elements. These are the foods they love or crave, the foods they get really good at making themselves or the foods they might eat every day without getting bored.
