On February 3, 2017, the Water element year flowed into the vacancy left by 2016’s Mother Earth element. The previous element’s energy began releasing last fall to begin creating space for the new incoming energy from this year’s element. Now, the Water element is fully present in the center of every space from continents and countries to states and provinces, cities and towns, and most importantly your home or business and your life.

2017 will be devoted to your personal energy. Discovering your personal element. Understanding and accepting yourself. Recognizing and appreciating your strengths. Knowing what your weaknesses are. Centering yourself around your core values. Centering your life’s work around your highest values. And honoring your element’s personal energy.

Much of the counseling or therapy out there is focused on finding the problem and “doing the work” to fix it. Fix you. Self-help books, personal development workshops, talk time with friends or hiring a life coach are other ways you might try to fix you. If you are a man, romantic relationships and marriage are ways women try to fix you.

Upon embarking on my professional career in feng shui, I set the intention to provide the information and insights people need to create a life that serves them well and supports them in making their unique contribution to the world. Early on, I realized that there was only so much even a perfectly feng shui’d environment could provide. It was a good place to start but what was really needed was a feng shui’d life. What was really needed was Feng Shui for YOU!
