Feng Shui for the 5 Yellow

If you wondered how strong the 5 Yellow Earth energy could be this year, doubt the power of this double dose of "Obstacles & Delays" energy no more.

The Yellow Earth energy is scheduled to return to its home next month on February 4th. It will leave the SE and settle into the center of every home and building, city and country. But like all energy, that sends its frequency into the future, paving the way for its inevitable arrival, the 5 Yellow is already here...energetically.

And if Adele's cancellation of her Las Vegas residency, 24 hours before her first show, is any indication of how devastating this energy can be to making plans, forward progress toward a goal and taking the intentional actions required to pursue your dreams, you'll want to expect the unexpected and be prepared for anything and everything. Don't assume things will go as smoothly as they should or have in the past. Lower your expectations, create lots of space around setting dates and have several back up plans for your events. Show yourself compassion and give yourself some grace.

Yellow Earth years signal a homecoming for all of the elements, numbers and energies. The center is home to the notorious 5 Yellow energy. It’s where it feels the most comfortable…and most powerful. In fact, as with all the energies this year, its power doubles in strength.

The center is the House of energy Balance, relationship Harmony & personal Wellbeing. It's the permanent residence of the dreaded Yellow Earth that slows energy to the flow of molasses in January and feels like trudging through waist deep mud. Like quicksand, the more you struggle, the faster it pulls you under.

In feng shui, the 5 Yellow is known as the Calamity Star. It brings potential for the dreaded three d’s: dis-ease, disaster and death. This “bone-breaker” energy can cause serious illness, like cancer and severe injury through accidents, as well as, break-ups in your relationships.

With it’s visitation to the center gua this year, it will affect the health, finances and relationships of everyone, all The 8 Elements. Bankruptcy and divorce, as well as, a critical health concern, condition or crisis offers people a clean sweep and a new beginning. It's a house fire for your life so you can rise from the ashes anew.

This stagnant, heavy Earth energy will be with us all year, through February 3rd of 2023. You'll want to utilize feng shui to keep this energy dormant or at least reduce its effect on your life. You'll also want to employ some basic personal feng shui principles to reduce its effect on YOU!

To keep this EARTH energy dormant, remove all Fire elements and red spectrum colors, as well as, any water features from the center of your living and working spaces. Don't light any candles in the center of your home or office. If you have a fireplace in the center, don't use it this year. Keep this area dim and quiet. If you have a front door opening into the center, consider using an alternative door this year.

To remedy this EARTH energy, add 100 pounds of METAL to the center area. Place metal furnishings and accents or hide 100 lbs. of free weights out of sight in a closet or cupboard. Parked cars, gym equipment and large appliances will remedy this annual energy for you. Another way to remedy this energy is to place large potted trees or healthy green plants in the center.

I know that the last two years have felt like our lives have been put on pause, with no end in sight. We want to push the play button and begin to move forward again with our goals and dreams. And you can, but with a few caveats.

To protect yourself from the effects of this annual energy, learn to rest. Practice patience. Master self care. Be more thoughtful and intentional with your actions. Embrace the opportunity to pause and reflect, continually review plans and keep moving but at a bit of a slower, more measured pace.

While the center is the most important area to remedy this year, there are eight other sectors in your home that will benefit from the annual feng shui remedies and enhancements.
