Feng Shui for YOU! | August 2021
As the energy shifts during the first week of each month, it’s wise to have an awareness of what the potentials are for you and your family. That way you can prepare yourself and be ready for what might show up for you. Be intentional about how you are focusing your thoughts, processing your emotions and spending your time and energy. Create the space in your life for the gifts when they arrive. Be ready to say, “Yes!” to offers and opportunities when they come your way. Smooth out the bumps in the road or avoid them by slowing your pace, taking a detour or finding another route altogether.
Just as we adjust the feng shui in our living and working spaces to balance the ever changing energies in our environments, so too can we do the inner work to rebalance and realign our personal energy to maintain our wellbeing, whatever current energy is present in the universe.
The 8 Elements is Feng Shui for YOU! So, discover what you need to know about the energy this month and go feng shui yourself!
2021 | August 8 - September 7
Feng Shui for Everyone!
In the center of every space this month, there is an abundance of heavenly blessings reigning down on all of The 8 Elements. This energy brings good news and great opportunities. There is the potential to be gifted money and much needed resources.
What YOU can do:
- Expand your capacity to receive.
- Say, "Yes!" to offers and opportunities.
- Practice gratitude. Express your appreciation for what is already on its way to you!
In combination with the annual Hard Metal energy, this monthly energy perfectly supports the acquisition of great wealth. It can also stir up troubled emotions and a feeling of loneliness.
What YOU can do:
- Stay connected to your inner circle any way you can.
- Allow any emotions coming up to be processed and energetically cleared.
- Muscle test all of your supplements to make sure they are working well for your body's needs. Ask especially about the minerals you're taking and if you need more magnesium.
Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.

Feng Shui for Men
In the House of Men this month, there is some intense light shining on all men that will bring fame and fortune, recognition and promotions at work and the accompanying pay raise and benefits.
In combination with the annual energy, it will highlight any regrets about past misdeeds you feel guilt about.Tell your shame story to someone you trust.
What YOU can do:
- Be ready to be in the spotlight all month and have all of your words and actions seen, whether you want them to be or not.
- Celebrate any work wins with friends and family.
- Treat yourself. Indulge in the little luxuries of life.
Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.

Feng Shui for Women
The House of Women this month is visited by a stagnate and sluggish energy that brings obstacles and delays. It also slows to a full stop the flow of income.
In combination with the annual energy, this duo is the plague we saw in the house of general health last year. You will be asked to prioritize your health and emotional wellbeing.
What YOU can do:
- Rest. Sleep as much as you can.
- Limit your exposure to the public.
- Spend time in nature, in the natural sunlight and fresh air.
This too shall pass...

Feng Shui for Children
In the House of Children, we have a very independent and willful energy that may make parenting extra challenging. Or, you might be pleasantly surprised by watching them take a bit more initiative and responsibility without being asked or gently reminded.
In combination with the annual energy, you may see more misunderstandings between siblings that you might have to help them calmly talk through.
What YOU can do:
- Let your children work independently without constantly hovering and correcting them.
- Listen to audiobooks together while you keep your hands busy with a project.
- Teach your children how to provide clarity when talking with their siblings to avoid misunderstandings.
The first aim of the prepared environment is, as far as it is possible, to render the growing child independent of the adult.
