Hello,
We begin the month between eclipses and with very active planetary cycles. Mars, the warrior planet is retrograde, as well as Mercury, the planet of communications. August is a month to cut your schedule in half, allow things to slow down and simply “be.”
I recommend that you do what you need to do yet refrain from pushing forth with important projects. You’re likely to have better luck after Labor Day.
A good use of these energies is to gather ideas about where you’d like to be in two years and write your plan down. Set some goals and then work backwards to figure out how to get there with as much ease as
possible.
The feng shui area to energize this month is Children, Creativity and Joy. It’s time to relax and have some fun. May the articles and stories below inspire you along your path.
Enjoy August.

Your August Feng Shui Forecast |
- August 11: New Moon and Solar Eclipse
- August 26: Full Moon
- July 26 – August 18: Mercury Retrograde
July 27 Full Moon
and Lunar Eclipse Recap
Did you adjust your Family gua, the left-center area of your home (or any room) or office, prior to the July 12th new moon and solar eclipse? If so, notice movement toward your
goals and intentions beginning with the July 27th full moon and lunar eclipse.
Although we didn’t see it
in North America, the eclipse was at 4 degrees Aquarius 45 minutes. The energy impacts you if important planets in your astrology chart are within three degrees of the eclipse degree. (An astrologer can help you with this.) Touted as the longest lunar eclipse for the 21st century, the entire eclipse lasted 6 hours and 14 minutes, while the duration of the full eclipse was 1 hour and 43 minutes.
Why is this important? I find that information is power. It can also bring relief. Rather than be caught off-guard or side-lined by unexpected shifts in life, having a heads-up about what’s coming
can help you navigate these challenging times with as much ease as possible.... |

The stories you tell yourself and repeat to others are very important. Words carry energy and impact what happens in your life. To energize and feed positive energy, frame your stories in a positive or uplifting context. When you
consciously withdraw your energy from what’s not working, you can choose to redirect situations toward what you really want.... |

Home Feng Shui Tip: Add Some Whimsy |
|
|
Place something joyful, fun, light-hearted or whimsical in the Children, Creativity and Joy area of
your home or yard this month. You have many options. It could be a colorful sculpture, a whirligig, inspiring art, a happy photo, a beautiful plant or vase of flowers, etc. the Children and Joy area is the center-right of your space … your land, your home, and every room in your home, when you divide it into a grid of nine blocks.
Choose the
Children, Creativity and Joy in one area, set an intention for yourself prior to the August 11th new moon, and anchor your intention with the object. I’m going to move a fun, metal owl sculpture from our pond to the Children and Joy area of our yard for the month. Rearranging things shifts the chi. |

To help you experience more happiness, satisfaction, creativity and/or solutions to business problems, shift
the energy in the Children, Creativity and Joy area of your workspace, office or business this month. This is the right-center section of your space when you divide it into a grid of nine blocks. From a business perspective, this area also relates to subsidiaries and other offices or subsets of the business. You could also focus on the future and place
something that represents where you’d like the business to head or areas of growth. The sky is the limit.
Since this gua is strengthened by the Metal element, adding metal, something white, grey or pastel, a round or curvy object, is helpful. You might combine this with something whimsical, light-hearted or fun. What comes to mind
when you think about where you’d like your business to head. Be creative!
Set an intention for the future of your business prior to the August 11th new moon and anchor your intention with the
object. |

One aspect of feng shui that
is often confusing to people is how to lay the Bagua over a floor plan. We always lay the bagua from the main entrance. This can be confusing when you have multiple entrances to a space or you have waterfront property. For a home, the main entrance is the architectural front door. For a room, it’s typically the door you use. There are exceptions and they depend on each situation. Years ago, I worked with a house that was on a corner and had two front doors. Both could have been used to lay the bagua. I dowsed to identify the best approach. The patterns associated with the property then indicated that the choice was
correct.
If you’d like help with laying the bagua on a space, send me a floor plan along with the address of the property and your question. I’ll lay the bagua and return your plan via email. If you’d like the bagua laid on a second area or room within the same property (such as a master bedroom), there’s an additional $15 charge per room. Email your photos to:
peg@fengshuiconnections.com). Cost: $60 for one bagua overlay, $75 for two bagua overlays within the same
property.
I’ll send you a link for an online payment when I receive the floor plan.
