Hello,
Spring officially arrives on March 20th. It’s most welcome after a long and snowy winter. In the NH White Mountains, the ground has been covered with snow since November. We had three
large storms that month and many people didn’t have a chance to complete fall cleanup and prep for winter.
March 20th, the Spring Equinox is the day when the sun crosses the celestial equator. On the equinox, we have nearly equal amounts of day and night, light and dark. It’s a time of
relative balance between yin and yang energies. The northern hemisphere tips towards the sun and we have longer days until June 21, the summer solstice. Here are some fun facts you might enjoy about the Spring Equinox from the Old Farmer’s Almanac https://www.almanac.com/content/first-day-spring-vernal-equinox.
March is a wonderful month to focus on spring cleaning. Clear out winter, to the extent you can and welcome in spring. In my area, it may be April or even May before the snow fully clears.
There’s a lot that can be done in the interim.
Do you remember I wrote about intense energies for February? They caught me too. Mid-month I slipped on snow-covered ice and broke my left wrist. The good news is that it’s healing well and
there’s a good chance I won’t need surgery. I’m left-handed, so I’m quickly developing right handed skills.
There’s a feng shui practice of doing things with your opposite hand and in an opposite fashion when you want to strengthen your brain and to create more mindfulness and clarity. I’m getting a
lot of practice with that this month. I’m also getting a lot of practice with more stillness and allowing others to do more for me. It’s my turn to receive. Fortunately, many helpful people and resources have emerged. If all goes well, my cast will be removed by the end of March.
Set an intention for what you’d like to accomplish this month and then put it into action. You’ll be assisted by the boost of spring energy. Do pay attention to Mercury Retrograde, March 5 – 28.
This is a time to build extra time into your schedule and focus on “re” actions … re-doing, renewal, reading, research and much more. See the article in this newsletter for more details.
Enjoy March!

Your March Feng Shui Forecast
|
- March 5 – 30 Mercury Retrograde
- March 6: New Moon in Pisces
- March 20: Full “Worm” Moon, First Day of Spring, Spring Equinox
Last month I got ahead of the calendar. The February 4th new moon was in Aquarius and the March 6th new moon is in Pisces. Thus, the
February area of focus should have been Helpful People and Travel and March the Center of your home. If you focused on the Center last month, you’re ahead for the month. I’m repeating last month’s tips about the Center below and including a post for adjusting Helpful People and Travel. Keep the Center energized this month while also giving Helpful People and Travel some attention...

Tips to Energize Your Helpful People and Travel Gua
|
|
|
The February new moon in Aquarius was associated with the Helpful People and Travel gua. This is the front right corner of your house, every room in your house, your workspace and yard. Helpful
People energy is about the right people showing up in your life at the right time. They can be seen or unseen, physical or spiritual. It is also about travel related energy. If you’d like to go somewhere, this is a worthwhile area to energize....

Take Advantage of Mercury Retrograde Cycles
|
|
|
During 2019, Mercury will be retrograde:
- March 5 – 28
- July 7 – 31 and
- Oct 31 – Nov 20
Mercury retrograde gets a bad rap because it’s recommended that you avoid signing contracts, purchasing electronics (including cars)
and arguing with people. If you plan, you can navigate these cycles with relative ease....

Clearing Clutter Made Popular!
|
|
|
Clutter limits you. It can stop opportunities coming your way, slow things down and bring them to a halt. Clutter can lock things in place. Thinning out and freeing your space, unleashes chi and
gets things moving again. Spring is a great time of year to do this, since the energy is growing stronger every day and you might be more inclined to clear out winter debris and stuck energy. Third quarter moons are great for clutter clearing too. You are likely to feel more inclined to release things during these cycles....

Compass Directions and the Changing Magnetic North: Why it Matters
|
|
|
Compass directions can be a confusing point in feng shui. In traditional feng shui actual
compass directions are used to identify the eight sectors of each property. In western feng shui, each of the eight directions are symbolic, depending on how you enter the space.
There are three “norths” and sometimes the question “which north do I use?” pops up. The answer is: Use north as indicated by your compass.

Home Feng Shui Tip: Refresh Your Plants & Flowers
|
|
|
As spring approaches, I find the annual flower shows inspiring! They bring a burst of fresh energy and vitality. You can replicate some of this energy
in your home by attending to your house plants this month. Trim all dead leaves and excess growth. Repot and fertilize your plants if you haven’t done so in a long time. If you have silk plants, dust and wash them. The energy wanes over time, particularly as dust accumulates.
If you have dried flowers, evaluate their condition. Unless they are relatively new, within a season or so, dried flowers have low energy, particularly as the colors fade and dust accumulates.
Many people keep these around for sentimental reasons. If you have dried flowers in your home, I encourage you to study their energy and only keep them around if they feel good.

Business Feng Shui Tip: Add Vitality with Plants
|
|
|
Like your home, plants and flowers add vitality to a business. They can be beneficial in all areas. I think they also help to absorb stress. I noticed
this when I worked in a corporate environment for many years. Maintain your plants regularly or hire a service to do for you. If or when your plants die, replace them. If your business has silk plants, keep them looking good. Clear them of dust regularly, as this lowers their chi and contributes to obstacles over time.
The best types of plants to have are fresh plants with soft, uplifting leaves. For windowless areas, pothos or philodendrons can be good choices. A vase of fresh flowers as you enter a business
is very welcoming. Fresh flowers in restrooms are a wonderful way to lift the chi as well.

Fresh Flowers Last Longer with
Focused Life Force Energy?
|
|
|
I’ve been writing about Focused Life Force Energy for the past few months. I encourage you to try it if you haven’t done so. You can try it for free
for 15 days for your home (and/or business) and then your phone (and/or a personal object).
In addition to more creativity and easier solutions to problems, I’m noticing that my fresh flowers last for at least three weeks, with regular trimming and water replenishing. Prior to FLFE I
would toss them out and replace them after about 10 days...
