As an overlay to your individual home or office Feng Shui, this year brings changes in energy that can be minimized or enhanced in certain spaces. The strongest influences and corresponding remedies are:

South East –Obstacle energy is coming from this direction in 2012. This is also the direction of the Grand Duke, so you should avoid sitting directly facing the SE for any important negotiations or discussions. The traditional remedy is to place a 6 rod all metal wind chime in the SE of your home or office. It is the vibrational sound of metal that dissipates any negative energy in the air (a little like ringing the bells at church). You may also place a protection talisman like fu dogs or a bagwa mirror facing the SE direction this year – especially recommended if your front entrance or bedrooms are in this sector.

North – Sickness energy can be dissolved using metal element in the North. The traditional remedy is to place a strand of 6 i-ching coins in the North. This is also a space where you could place a metal bell on the door handle to help dissipate the sickness energy.

North West – Water and Wood element will help minimize scandal and gossip especially aimed at the females in the family. The traditional remedy is to place 3 stems of lucky bamboo in a glass vase of water. Otherwise maintain healthy cut flowers in a glass vase of water in this sector all year.

South West- Use fire element in the South West this year to reduce anger, frustrations and security breeches. If you have windows or an entrance in this space, ensure your home is protected with alarms and locks.

West – Lucky prosperity circulates in the West. You can enhance using Fire and Earth elements or a little water feature. (nb: I would only put a water feature here is you know that there is prosperous energy in your foundation Feng Shui chart. Do not place water feature if this is in your bedroom).

North East – stable financial income is in this sector. This will be particularly useful if your main entrance is in this sector. Enhance with Fire and Earth elements and a little water feature.

Centre – this year there is legal issues and potential clash with authority figures especially for the head of the family. While water and wood elements help minimize this for the individual, this will be the central theme on a macro level for many people – so be honest and diligent when dealing with contracts, law enforcement (as simple as parking tickets) and how you act at work with your managers.

Welcome Year of the Yang Water on Earth Dragon. While this is another year indicating change and transition, the conflict in the Metal wood energy of the Tiger and Rabbit are waning. The last 2 years have not been without a quickening for growth and healing in many people’s lives. And if you are up on your cosmology, this happens to coincide with:

• our transition from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius proper;
• the end of the Mayan calendar;
• alignment of the earth, sun and centre of our Milky Way galaxy and
• the prophecies of Nostradamus.

We have truly decided to live in monumental times. 2012 means different things to different people. Presented here is what I would like to share about the Feng Shui influences for 2012 – Yang Water sitting on Yang Earth Dragon.

Mother Earth:

Even with many instances of natural disasters over the last 2 years, the earth has not completed healing. In 2012 strong water accompanies this year’s earthly element and not just any water – but strong pressing ocean bringing water disasters. The Earth Dragon represents mother earth energy that is under pressure. More earth disruptions like earthquakes are highly likely. If we consider that New Zealand and Japan still suffer from tremors and earthquakes daily it doesn’t seem a far stretch that the pacific rim is waiting for a large reckoning especially considering the Grand Duke is coming from the South East direction this year. Extrapolating from that, if the plates move in the South East, they will cause a ripple effect of natural disasters across the Pacific Rim and the world.

Behaviour:

While there was a lot of back stabbing and underhanded behavior from individuals coping with clearing (or not clearing in a lot of instances) their own karma and issues in 2011, this year shows the noble, courageous and strong coming to the fore and sticking to their guns. There is still tension and conflict but much fairer and out in the open, so although it will be exhausting for some, sustaining you authentic self and remaining genuine will be worth the effort.

Yang Water and Earth elements fundamentally clash in Feng Shui. Earth dams, constricts or contains water. So expect more conflict and healing. Water also represents the emotion of fear while Earth represents reflection and meditation. From that point of view, it seems conflict and tension will be born out of fear – from those people resistant to change or creating change out of the emotion of fear. It will take a more stable, resilient and reflective Dragon energy to detach from this emotion, stand their ground and help ease the fear that is causing erratic behavior and tension. Throughout the year this Dragon energy can be meditative, calm and inspiring. This year requires all of us to reflect from within and while it can be confronting for those who are not acting from a base of authenticity and genuine morals, if we can do what we think is fair, we can overcome the cycle of fear and conflict between these energies. This also means detaching from the fear and emotions of others who are finding it difficult and confrontational. Detaching from the emotion will help elevate those around you and pull them through.

Change and Transition:

Anyone born in the year of the Dragon or Dog will be in for a year of change and transition in their home life and career. Possible change of job and a new abode are highly likely. If you already have plans to move and change jobs, then good luck – the energy supports you to make changes and you are prepared for them. For those that may be out of balance and have not felt that change is coming, be open to going with the flow. Resisting change in the natural order of things can sometimes block opportunities that can help you grow and expand. In 2012, the strong yang water on top presents the emotion of fear or anxiety. Yes, you will need to assess your options, but search within yourself for what feels right for you at this moment, and then take the leap of faith and just do it!

The force of energy is strong and pushy this year. Once a project or idea gets momentum it may be difficult to get off the cart. Make sure you stop and question the decisions you are making as you could be influenced strongly by public opinion, peer pressure or for some bullying and activity that drains your energy because it is not what you want to do. Stand up and think for yourself, select when to go with the flow and momentum and when to stand your ground.

Finance and Industry:

Fire element is weak and so activity on the stock market may be marginalized. There are pockets of strong fire like May and June where you will see confidence. In alignment with the sentiment that 2012 bring s a new age where we will be in greater harmony and the world will not be as attached to the monetary financial system, a lot of industries this year will find it tough. If you follow the New Year’s news, another financial collapse is imminent and is supported by the Feng Shui. Earth industries like construction, property and natural therapies should do well and hold their head above the water.

Spiritual change

Anyone with the Dog or Dragon in their birth chart is more intuitive and many that I know are clairvoyant.  This year that intuition should heighten and provide you with more prophetic dreaming for some while others will be able to utilise their intuition in a work environment to make the right decisions. If you stay balanced and grounded, you can use your gut instincts to help you in every day life and achieve greater flow. For those that are newly aware to their heightened 6^th sense, you may get frightened. A quick tip is to relax and white light yourself.  Set your boundaries with spirit in a way that makes you feel comfortable and repeat these boundaries to yourself in your mind.

Changes and Feng Shui:

In Feng Shui there is a lot of emphasis on good and bad, auspicious and inauspicious because it is based on the principle of Yin and Yang. I have spent years reflecting on good and bad given everyone’s perspective is different.

I have observed that how we view change depends on how unexpected it arrives and this has an influence on how we cope with the impacts that change has on our mental, emotional and spiritual selves. It is emotions like fear, guilt, jealousy, low self esteem, pressure and worry that makes change seem daunting. Many people are resistant to change, yet the “only constant is life is change” !

2012 represent another year of change and we have the added energy of fear in the yang water that will force some people to become superstitious or want to place blame of the change on everything around them. This fear bocks us from living our lives to the fullest.

My personal view is that change can always be turned into a positive – you just need to put your situation into perspective and see the good that has come out of it. This of course takes time depending on the degree of change you are experiencing. You may need to reflect on why this change is coming about for you. Is it something that you can grow through and will eventually make you stronger and wiser?

Part of making change positive is to put the past behind you. If you are aware of this and require help, then I encourage you to get it this year. Seek counseling, a coach, or do some energy work that will help you find wholeness and balance among your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual selves. Yoga, Reiki, Chi Kung are all examples of energy shifting modalities that can help you embrace change and change your life positively.

Mariko is a gracious, spiritual and gifted woman.  Her ability to interpret birth charts and destiny is amazing. I reference my chart regularly and am continually surprised at how it has proven itself true. Mariko is so loving and warm too; you will feel her positive zen energy. I was also grateful for an energy clearing she did for me when I needed it most.  I highly recommend Mariko if you need spiritual guidance, Coaching, Feng Shui and Reiki…when I have told friends about her and the things she has shared with me they told me they had to meet her…and have felt all the things mentioned above

I was very impressed by Mariko’s skill and insight when she presented me with my personal Chinese Astrology Chart. I could tell that she had spent a lot of time on it and when I met her, she spent some time to explain everything to me carefully.

This is really great as I had a previous chart done by another practitioner and I was only given a one-page chart. Mariko’s thoroughness with her chart means that I can refer back to her material time and again, without having to rely on my memory!

She comes across as a very gifted professional who is also caring, intuitive (obviously) and have a good sense of humour! I was very fortunate indeed to have found Mariko and shall get her to re-do my chart in future so that I can be prepared for each new year and its’ challenges. Being aware means I am better equipped to handle each challenge and avoid any nasty surprises! Having my chart explained to me in terms of ten year intervals means that I can prepare for each stage carefully to maximise my strengths and opportunities and minimise weakness or challenges. Unfortunately this year has been very challenging and I have been reactive rather than responsive. This will now change!

I am very happy to recommend Mariko to anyone who desires to make the most of their life by finding out their Destiny aspects – “heaven luck”.

All the best wishes.
