While we will be celebrating the Chinese New Year on February 8, the first day of the Year of the Monkey will officially start on February 4. To help prepare our homes for this celebration, I got to interview a Chinese astrology expert, Sherab Chosang, to forecast what awaits us for the year and help us enhance our luck through our homes. My friends and clients have been going to him to assist them in their residential and commercial spaces and he has been practicing feng shui for over two decades. Aside from feng shui, he is also a trained energy healing practitioner as well as a trained Akaschic reader at the Metatron level. He has helped those who wish to be more spiritual and those who want to discover themselves deeper; beyond what astrology can reveal. I am not Chinese but it wouldn’t hurt to try some of these tips. Who wouldn’t want to be more prosperous?
According to him, we have to welcome the new energies with a fresh, neat and clean looking home by 5:48 p.m. of February 4. How do we do that? Sherab Chosang shares, “We can start by de-cluttering the entire home before the said date and time. Replace the old energies to make room for new ones. Aside from detoxing the home, clean all the tired and worn out energies with water and salt. This can be achieved by mopping floors and wiping walls with water and dissolved salt. This is similar to the act of bathing oneself with sea water to dissolve tired energies and facilitate healing.”
As a final touch, he adds that you can light an incense stick and go around the house in a clockwise manner starting from the main door. While you go through the rooms of the home, visualize that all the remaining energies are being erased as you pass by. The ritual ends when you are back to the main door.
For 2016, he says the home will bring in more fortune if the main door is either in the Southwest, South, Southeast or East because those enclosed areas will contain beneficial energies for the year. If the main door is not located in those directions, don’t worry. Check if your bedroom is within that range. If your bedroom is also not included in those directions, frequently use the spaces in those directions to absorb the beneficial energies there. Maximize those energies by doing your activities there such as preparing reports, signing papers, talking with clients and loved ones, eating and resting.
Water is also very fortuitous for the 2016 chart. Expect more opportunities for creating wealth if you have a swimming pool, garden water feature and koi pond in the Southwest, East or Southeast direction.
To avoid negative energies, there should be no renovations, gatherings or noise in the Northeast, South, North and Northwest directions. Avoid these activities as well within 232.6 – 247.5 degrees in the Southwest area.
To help improve the luck of your animal sign, Sherab Chosang provided a table. Please refer to it to make sure that your animal’s corresponding area is tidy and clean.
To check your bearings, you can easily download a compass on your smart phone. I downloaded mine a few days ago and found out my bedroom and balcony are the most lucrative spaces so I have to start the detox project there soon.
