Feng shui cures for a “Pig of a day!”

The ancient of art of feng shui is all about balancing energy and those born under the Pig Chinese animal sign get to experience how this can be used to fantastic effect.

Year break

Since February, Pig signs have had a challenging year as they clash with the annual Snake sign, which would have brought major change to some part of their life. Health could also have suffered affecting the head, groin or feet area and stress levels would certainly have risen.

Day break?

As today is a Fire Pig day, those signs can get a “break” and we now tell you how to cure this problem. Depending of the strength of their sign in their Chinese astrology horoscope, they can either incorporate the wood element into their lives until next February or use the earth element until the end of this month. Which one should they choose?

High on the Hog

This title refers to a strong Pig sign, probably born in winter between November and January, but could also have Rabbit and Sheep or Rat and Ox in their Chinese horoscopes. They would be best to adopt the wood element; easily achieved by sitting, sleeping or facing east, wearing green or light blue colours, adding sour tastes or astringent vegetables such as celery to their diet, walking in woodland areas and being kind to one another. If possible, they should be strategic and have plans in place to allow for any emergency.

… or Pig out?

Pig signs not in the above category are best incorporating the earth element into their lives, at least until October 8th, when they will need to change to another element. Sleeping, sitting or facing southwest or northeast are their best directions, but this does depend on their Ming gua. Otherwise, it is good to wear or be near cream, beige, brown, pale yellows or orange colours, sit at a rectangular desk, be near fields or open spaces and have a massage or tactile relationship. Oh, and adding sweet tastes to their diet will help balance their energy.

We all go through these clashes at certain times and feng shui with Chinese astrology can certainly help you avoid future problems. Having a professional astrology reading, or a feng shui consultation could ensure you don’t experience the same problems again.

For everybody else, the feng shui almanac suggests only quiet meditation and tidying up loose ends as todays only recommended activities. It advises against marriage, as well as hair styling because, after all, you cannot stick it back on can you?

If you have a Pig sign, let us know how you get on today and which element you chose to try. We will return soon, until then take care.

Hog hunting?

It could be an extraordinary day for those born under the Chinese animal sign of Pig, is this you?

The feng shui calendar lists today as a Metal Sheep day in a Rabbit month and that’s two parts of a Chinese astrology set. A Pig completes this triple alignment and was the inspiration behind our title. Consequently, if you were born between 9-11pm (local time) or from November 5^th – December 5^th, or in any Pig year such as 2007 and every 12 years before, you will have a Pig in your chart and that could make today extraordinary.

Of course you could also have been born on the day of the Pig, and to avoid an extremely complex formula, here is a free Chinese horoscope to tell you.

This form of Chinese astrology is so accurate it views you as one in almost 13 million different people, so it’s impossible to generalise. However if you have a Pig in your chart, the best way to discover the effect of today’s huge wood element influence is to also use our free attribute cycle. This shows if your relationships, heath, wealth, creativity or power will be affected and whether today will be incredibly good or more challenging.  Mind you, the Pig sign is clashed this year, so the latter shouldn’t now bring too many surprises.

Returning to today's Metal Sheep, if you have one of these in your chart you have great expression, resource and an enviable understating of the natural order of things. There is much more I could tell you, but it’s already on our dedicated Metal Sheep web page, as is how your own Chinese zodiac sign will fare under its influence.

You might also like to know that today's feng shui almanac lists meditating or honouring ancestors, asking for blessings, getting married, taking a course, travelling,  having an astrology reading, emigrating, opening a business and trading, laying foundations, fixing a roof, buying or setting direction for your oven or attending a funeral as favourable activities.

We hope to return tomorrow with a Water Monkey, although it’s still very busy. If you have a Pig in your chart or know someone that has, please feel free to pass our blog onto them. You might also like to subscribe free below. In any case our daily feng shui blog provides almost daily guidance on how to make the best of life.

Until tomorrow, enjoy every moment of NOW!
