We begin December and the holiday season with a new moon in Sagittarius. This is an excellent time to set your intentions for the month ahead. With Mercury retrograde through December 15th, be flexible and allow extra time between activities. If you’ll be purchasing electronics, I recommend waiting until December
16th. They will work out better for you.
The feng shui area of your home to work with this month is the Knowledge gua. This is the front left corner of every space. This also fits well with the Mars retrograde cycle which begins December 6th and continues through February 23rd. This is the best time to set your personal and professional goals for the next two years.
I recommend that you consciously slow down over the next few weeks. I realize that this is a lot to ask during the holiday season! You'll be less stressed and more fully present for yourself, your family, and friends. After the holidays, take time through February to reflect on where you are and what you'd like to prioritize over the next two years. You might begin by spending time with favorite people, participating in
seasonal activities, listening to classical or spiritual music, enjoying some of your preferred foods and getting some exercise. The Good News Network recently reported that people who exercise have healthier brains and lower levels of neurodegenerative diseases. Read the article here.
The Winter Solstice is December 21st. In the northern hemisphere the days will begin to grow longer
minute by minute. I love the holiday lights that brighten the dark nights. When it’s time for them to go you’ll notice that we have more daylight. Underneath the frozen soil, the seeds and plants are preparing to delight us once again next spring and summer.
I’ll be preparing Flying Star charts during January. If you’d like a chart for your home or workspace for 2025, let me know. I’ll put you in the queue on a first come, first serve basis. Chinese New Year is Wednesday, January 29th. We will move into the year of the yin Wood Snake.
Christmas and Hanukkah coincide this year, contributing to an extra special holiday season. Take time to enjoy each day in ways that are most meaningful to
you.
Enjoy December! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate.

We begin the month with a new moon in
Sagittarius on December 1st. New moons are a time for new beginnings. It’s an ideal day to do a meditation and set intentions for the month ahead. The area of your home to work with this month is the Knowledge gua. This is the front-left corner of your house, every room in your house, your office or workspace, and your yard or land.
Are you curious about feng shui or how to bring your space into alignment with your goals and intentions? Do you have one or more questions you’d like answered without having a full consultation? If so, send your questions along and you'll receive either a written reply, a short recording or a 15-minute Zoom or Facetime call.
Send along
your question(s) and supporting information such as a photo or a floor plan, if they would be helpful.
One question is $49.00, two questions are $80.00 and three questions are $99.00. You'll receive an online invoice for payment by credit card or check. If a particular cure or adjustment is required, you may be asked to send along red envelopes as well. If so, this will be explained to you.
Questions might relate to placement of furniture, best placement for a mirror, the type of mirror to use, supportive colors, desk placement, adjustments to a particular area to support your intentions, clarification about conflicting information you may have heard, etc.
For example:
My daughter is applying to colleges, what recommendations do you have for adjusting our Knowledge gua to support her?
How do I adjust a bathroom in my Knowledge gua? Don't the Earth and Water elements clash?
I would like to have
a successful relationship. What adjustments can I make in my Knowledge gua to support this intention?
Send your questions to peg@fengshuiconnections.com. A floor plan of your house and photos of the area in question will help too.
Mars Retrograde: Plan Your Two Year Priorities!
Mars is the planet of ambition, assertiveness and action. It stations retrograde from December 6, 2024 to February 23, 2025. This aligns well with the focus on the Knowledge gua for December, 2024.
Mars goes retrograde once every 26 months. Anytime a planet is retrograde, it’s time to re-assess the area of life that planet impacts. When Mars stations retrograde it’s
time to reassess what motivates you, the direction that you’re moving in, the way you do leadership, what excites you.
Mars retrograde usually brings a shift in perspective. You may find yourself reassessing the way you express authority, confidence, and leadership qualities. Check in with yourself and see if you’re leading from your authentic self or if you’re leading from
ego.
Check where Mars is in your natal chart to see where it impacts you personally.
If you would like to understand how this Mars will affect you, personally or professionally, based on your natal chart, contact Tricia Duffy Foggo for a reading at Bermuda
Fog Astrology.
Also, Tricia provides a wonderful Astroblast, each weekday (except holidays), highlight the key energies and focus for the day. This comes to subscribers about 7:00 am Eastern time daily, via What's App. If this is something that interests you, let Tricia know. This service is $99.00 annually and she runs periodic specials.
Give yourself the gift of a long-distance Personal Clearing this month. This gentle process is very profound and deep. Blocks that you may not even be aware of will be cleared and a clearing can help you tap into your intuition more deeply. This aligns nicely with the focus on the Knowledge gua this month. Mention the December newsletter to receive this special rate. Contact Peg to schedule or to learn more.
A reminder from last month … The planet communications, Mercury, is retrograde in the sign of Sagittarius until Sunday, December 15. This will influence holiday communications and travel plans. Allow extra time to get places. Anticipate delays. Also, be aware of how you communicate with others. The Sagittarius tendency would be to blurt things out and speak your mind. This could get you into a lot of
trouble. Rather than be blunt, or even rude, it would be wise to take a softer, gentler, and kind approach. This year, simply be more considerate. In general, people have been going through a lot and are quite stressed. Think before speaking and be kind when you do.
Our Prosperity Study Group is meeting on Wednesday evenings at 8:30 - 9:00 pm EDT/ 5:30 - 6:00 pm PDT.
During December we will meet December 4 and 11. This will complete Part one of our book. We'll take a holiday break from December 18 through January 1. Study Group will resume on January 8. During January we'll discuss the power of words and conscious
language.
Join us if you would like to strengthen your prosperity attraction skills. It's a friendly group and a quick half hour. Madeline Gerwick and I cover the concepts and tools we wrote about in our book, Money Is an Energy Game, chapter by chapter. To maintain everyone's privacy, the sessions are not recorded.
There is no charge to attend. Donations are gratefully accepted.
To join the group, send your email address to win@moneyisanenergygame.com to be added to the Study Group email list.
If you're already on the mailing list, you'll
receive a reminder and Zoom link every Wednesday during the months we meet.

If you are new to FLFE or Focused Life Force
Energy, it's a service that sends a good vibe (a higher level of consciousness) to your home, condo or apartment. You can also carry it with you via your phone. There are many benefits to the FLFE experience. Some of these include:
Harmonizing EMFs from phones, wifi, and various technical devices
Better absorption of food and nutrients
Ongoing space clearing
Deeper, longer sleep
Fewer headaches
Stronger levels or resilience
More joy
and positivity
Enhanced creativity and problem solving
Less stress
If you’re not a subscriber, you can try the service for free for 15 days for your home and for another 15 days on our phone … extending your free service to 30 days.
I encourage you to check it out and see if FLFE is for you. I’ve had it in place for four years. I really like it. Combined
with feng shui, my home is an oasis where I can retreat from the stresses of the outside world, ground myself and recharge my energy.
In a higher vibration environment, you are likely to be healthier, happier, more optimistic, and more creative. Problems are easier to solve, and solutions come to you more easily. You are more likely to go with the flow of life, be more resilient, bounce back more easily from adversity and enjoy spending time in your space. Everyone around you benefits
too.
Learn more about FLFE and sign up for a 15-day Free Trial, if you haven't done so, to experience it first-hand. You can turn the service off and on at anytime to notice the difference.
Tune in and pay attention to what happens during each 15-day cycle. Notice how you feel, how problems are resolved, the communications and interactions you have with family and
friends, the opportunities that come your way and more. Notice how you sleep, if you have more energy, and if you feel lighter and happier, among other things.
If you're already a member, remember to do the daily boost for a nice energy lift. Flagship subscribers for Property or FLFE Everywhere can do two boosts a day. Check it out on your subscription page.
I find that FLFE contributes to a calm, comfortable, and relaxing environment ... of course, feng shui helps
too!
