As its Halloween, “trick or treat” is a common phrase heard today with children offering this choice to friends and neighbours. Dressed in fiendish costumes, kids will threaten to perform dastardly deeds if not recompensed by a suitable amount of bling, baubles or sweet things. As Feng Shui only brings out the best in people, we will now offer you, so to speak, something sweet.
Did you know that when we view today's Wood Ox in terms of
flavours, wood is sour and sweet refers to the Ox’s earth element? Ask anyone with either a wood or earth day
stem in their Chinese astrology horoscope and they will confirm their
preference for sweet or sour flavours, especially if they were born in season;
spring for wood and summer for earth people.
Understanding people’s energy is part of Feng Shui and
allows consultants to recommend enhancements to create a perfect nurturing
environment in any home or office. This doesn’t mean you must take a cheese and
onion sandwich home with you though because colour, shape and most importantly
position, all correspond to elements and are applied instead.
Using today's Wood Ox zodiac sign as an example in five-element
analysis, wood actually controls earth and creates a qi blockage that restricts
self-expression. With emotions constantly kept in check, this may in severe
cases result in stomach issues.
Wood Ox qi is balanced by incorporating metal and water elements
with colours such as grey, white or metallic, and black and dark blue
respectively. Alternatively, we can
install round, flowing shapes in furniture and fittings. Even spending time in
the north or west parts of a home or office also works, as does carrying out certain
activities and vocations. Of course, a
home and office also has its own type of energy, and when we analyse and
balance both people and building, we create a perfect atmosphere. Perhaps, you can see why Feng Shui is so
popular?
The above cures and recommendations mainly refer to those with
a Wood Ox in the day pillar of their Chinese horoscope. See if this is you with our free
Chinese horoscope. Regardless of which zodiac signs you have, we have a
dedicated Wood Ox
web page that explains how your sign will fare today.
The Tong Shu or Chinese almanac recommends only meditation
or honouring ancestors, barbecuing, or fixing walls and smoothing paths as the
only suitable activities. It advises against buying a boat or opening a water
course today.
We will return tomorrow on a Fire Tiger day. Until then, enjoy
now!
