Hello,
My suggestion for this summer is to buckle down and hold on. We’re in very active planetary cycles. A lot of change
is under way and we really won’t know how things are likely to turn out until the end of August, even if you think you know now.
If the news is getting you down, pull away. Stop watching or listening. Pick it up again after Labor Day or not at all. You may be better off without it. The feng shui focus this month is on Family. I encourage you to adjust the Family sectors of your spaces prior to the July 12th new moon and set related intentions. Then tune in to the July 26th full moon and notice what’s happening.
Also take time during July and August to gather ideas for your life plan for the next two years. Be flexible and know that things are likely to change from one day to the next. You might be moving
in one direction and then realize that you need to switch gears and adjust. This is a cycle we’re all in. Stay open and flexible. Work from your heart, without fear, and you’ll be fine.
Be sure to do some things you truly enjoy, fit in regular self-care and have some fun along the way! Enjoy July.

Your July Feng Shui Forecast |
- July 12: New Moon and Solar Eclipse
- July 27: Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse
- July 26: Mercury Retrograde
June 28 Full Moon Recap Did you adjust your Knowledge gua, the front-left corner of your home (or any room) or office, prior to the June 13th new moon? If so, take note of what has shifted or is shifting for you beginning with the June 28th full moon. Each month, you have an opportunity to come into alignment with lunar cycles by changing the chi of your home or workspace. Prior to each new moon, I recommend an area of your home or work area to adjust or refresh, with your intention in mind. This is the time to clean more thoroughly, remove clutter, repair items
that need it, etc. Each activity shifts the chi of your space and helps to enliven it. |

In March, the United Nations published its 2018 World Happiness Report. The top five positions went to Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland. The United States ranked 18th, a four position drop over the past year and the lowest ranking for the US since the report was introduced in 2012. What is it that people in these
countries know and practice that we don’t?....

Natural Chi Enhancers: Public Gardens |
|
|
I spent a delightful June weekend in NYC exploring three public gardens: The Heather Garden at the Cloisters, the High Line and Wave Hill. What wonderful resources that contribute to the chi of their locations. One question worth pondering: do the gardens lift the chi of the surrounding area or did the vibrant chi of the area contribute to the garden being established? I’m not sure. What I
do know is that the two go hand in hand. Gardens do wonders for your spirit and are a delightful space to spend time.... |

Be a Guest in Your
Own Home! |

These days more and more people are becoming Airbnb hosts. During the past month I heard from one person who had a very disappointing and unsettling stay at an Airbnb location due to dirt and clutter. This individual selected a
room in a house with a shared bath. It turns out that her room had a lot of personal clutter and both her room and the bathroom were far from spotless. In retrospect, “causal housekeeper,” was the one clue in reviews that could have alerted her prior to selecting the location for seven nights.
Later in the month, I visited a friend who was prepping her city apartment for Airbnb guests. She commented that preparing her home for Airbnb guests encouraged her to face her clutter and eliminate it. And, she did! Her space
looked lovely and felt great.... |

Home Feng Shui Tip: Family Photos |
|
|
Audit the family photos in your home or office and analyze the energy. Are the photos flattering and are the people happy? Were the photos taken during happy times? If not, remove them and replace them with a photo that is more appealing. Sometimes
what’s really going on is very subtle.
A beautiful photo of
myself and my daughter hung in the center of my two homes for many years. Taken at a family wedding, my daughter was the flower girl and it was a very happy occasion. Every time I looked into my eyes in the photo I was reminded of how sad I was. No one else would have seen or realized this. I had miscarried twins a few weeks earlier and I never had more children, even though my husband and I wanted them.
Years later I understood how this photo was an anchor in my life. When I realized it, I removed the photo and replaced it with a different family
photo from another happy occasion. Later, I recognized that more children simply weren’t meant to be. They weren’t in my life plan and I was at peace with it. I didn’t know it at the time though. |

Business Feng Shui Tip: Assist Your Work Family |
|
|
In a business, employees are the work family. Evaluate the Family area of your business, office or workspace for overall energetic quality. What do you see or notice? Is the area clean, clutter-free and does it feel good? Is it uplifting and inspiring or
does it feel heavy, dusty, crowded or stuck?
If the latter, spend at least a few minutes this month revitalizing the space. Extract things that might be dragging your business down and remove excess paper or dirt. Items could include files of business proposals that didn’t materialize or reminders of employees who didn’t work out or left under negative circumstances. If a negative or traumatic event happened in the space, clear and reset the energy.
When I was in corporate business, I cleared the energy of new offices I moved to and
asked the Facilities department to swap furniture in and out until the office felt great.
Analyze the Five Elements. Family is a Wood area. Too much Fire energy (red, triangles, electricity and electronics) can deplete this gua. A vase of fresh flowers is an instant cure. Flowers are wonderful chi enhancers and instantly makes a space feel better. |

The Family Gua is the center-left of your home, land, every room as well as your business, office or workspace. Clearing clutter from these
areas, revitalizing the space and rebalancing the Five Elements can help your dreams and visions come to the surface. Doing so will help you write your plan for the next two years. The Family gua is diagonally opposite the Children and Joy gua. If you’d like to bring more Joy to your life, cleaning up loose ends related to family (and your past), will help.
If you’d like
