Energy Update February

Hey guys welcome to the Learn Feng Shui podcast where you'll Learn Feng Shui from a classical point of view taking out the myth and Superstition so if you're interested in learning funu Chinese astrology all things Chinese metaphysics as well as the superstitions and myths that connect it all you'll enjoy learning funu with me hey guys welcome to today's episode on February aru Ary 2024 energy update first month of the year of the dragon let's get into it all right guys starting February 4th this commences the beginning of Spring and what is called leune this is the energy that welcomes in the zodiac sign of the Dragon when it officially be begins and this is the first uh 15-day solar cycle of energy called the jet cycle this is the jet cycle it starts February 4th and goes through February 18th and as I just said it's called coming of spring and um this does coincide very closely with the Pagan wheel of the year and the observance of what is called embolic or St Bridget's day and this also marks the beginning of Spring on the Pagan calendar and it is the halfway point between the winter solstice and the Spring Equinox so spring is upon us and of course in the Chinese traditions and according to the Chinese calendar um this really does Mark the beginning of Springtime and that brings in that new calendar year that new calendar cycle and some things we can do to stay healthy during this time is eating spring rolls so I'm all for that um stir fry veggies is one of the things that's kind of you know what we're supposed to be eating during this time to kind of keep healthy and um according to the uh you know the my source here at the beijinger decom it does say that spring rolls is a good way to get that food in so I'm all for doing a stir fry and a spring roll I I feel like this time of year we're trying to cleanse our palletes right and uh the February 18th through March 4th does bring in that second solar cycle of the the jet cycle the chi cycle and that's called rainwater and as it notes it kind of does Mark the beginning of a rainy season I know we kind of tend to have some rain uh during this time so we we'll kind of see about that um it is also a time when geese start returning so I do live in a area of the us where we see the the geese that the Canadian geese that come from up North and they come here and vacation for the winter and I know they'll start flying off U I feel like they're kind of flying off already but we still have uh you know our little Lakes are full of them so uh the geese will start going back home and it is one of my favorite things to watch is is to watch his little geese fly overhead um so during this time we're supposed to eat sweet and uh food so I'm all for that kind of like glutenous I know they say like glutenous rice and stuff like that and then a lot of fiber so fiber is supposed to get the system going this time of year and you know the uh Wheel Of The Year the Chinese New Year that beginning of Spring course Chinese New Year doesn't begin till the 10th but the beginning of Spring will commence the uh you know that that time on February 4th and another thing that happens um at least here in the US and I know some other uh countries I think observe Groundhogs Day and so Groundhogs Day is supposed to give us weather predictions for the next year but another thing that gives us weather predictions is is the tong Shu or the tong Shin Chinese Almanac and much like the CH the uh Farmers Almanac that we use here in the states the Chinese Almanac does give weather predictions for the year and one of the ways they do this is they actually on the cover photo or like right inside the the the almanac they'll actually have a picture of a cow herder and the cow herder is accompanied by an ox in some kind of like a Patty field okay and uh so this is used to make certain predictions for the year not just weather predictions and I had a really hard time finding this picture for 2024 but I did come across a Tik Tok video when I was searching uh and as a Tik tocker by the name of lettuce spoon and I'll include her a link below but let's play the audio from her and see what she has to say about predictions for the upcoming year of the dragon hey y'all here are some 2024 predictions based on the Chinese Almanac a rotation of 60 spring cow and Oxford images are used to predict weather rainfall and harvest the year of a dragon is a young year and the boy standing in front of the ox signifies that spring commencement occurs before the Lunar New Year the almanac predicts that there will be one Dragon controlling the waters this year signifying an extreme year for weather especially floods during spring and summer though it's predicts a smooth year there are not enough dragons to manage the water the almanac knows that there will be plenty of mulberry leaves for silk worms to consume signifying that there will be high production and high yield but a warning extreme weather will affect Harvest and production another warning is that Transportation the economy and supply chain will be affected at the end of the year inflation does not look promising and there will be overpaying for goods this is a working year you have to work hard to earn that money be sure to put in the work at the beginning of the year to save up for winter again I put a link to that Creator below when I was looking at her profile and trying to you know save the link and everything I did notice that she had a lot of videos on those jety Cycles like she has all the 24 solar terms on there and she also has her own zodiac predictions so if you are into those things I like suggest checking her out if you're a Tik tocker um yeah let's go ahead and look at the fire energy so we do have this fire tiger coming in so it is the first month of this solar lunar year you know coming um this Yang fire it's bringing this renewed sense of passion and happiness we've not had fire energy for you know a little while here and so that coming back in is all about bringing extra passion in extra happiness you know it kind of brings this it's like the sunlight shining after a dull you know few days I know uh last month maybe a couple weeks ago we had a several days when you know I think the whole us got a cold snap and it was just rainy and cold and oh my goodness the day it finally broke and the sun Shone through and it was kind of warm outside oh I just loved uh you know kind of putting my face to the Sun for a minute it was really nice and so that's like kind of energy that this y fire brings especially with the tiger whose Essence uh you know carries the essence of fire in it um the uh the birth of fire you know uh so here we can use the fire energy to get excited about our goals so if you made New Year's resolutions and you feel like you're off track a little bit it is okay it is time to revisit those goals and reassess what you know what what you kind of want to do so uh I know some of those New Year goals it says that they you know by the first week sometimes they're definitely uh you know kind of off derailed already and so yeah take the time to make a new goal I know last year around this time I talked about making um your New Year's resolutions and goals for February at the beginning of Spring because the energy is growing you want to support you so if you feel like you have already got off track with what you've been wanting to accomplish you know no worries it's it's totally okay and so um spending time in the South with the monthly Nine Star can help bring inspiration or the eight in the Northwest can help you get back into the groove if you've been stagnant um and I will remind you too before we get into the fun um you know here in just a few minutes you do need to take down your old cures and your old um if you've done any activations that were for the the year you're going to want to take those down around February 3rd and you you want to be sure to welcome the god of wealth for the Lunar New Year and I do have dates on that remember I have that brand new newsletter that I I rolled out last month um it has all the information on it about the zodiac signs and everything I'm covering here today plus it does have the added bonus of um some extra information as well as you know Flying Star Charts and everything uh and then at the end it does have date selection and it talks about that energy of welcoming the god of wealth which is just basically a meditation you can do on um some you know good days during the month you just kind of uh you know set the intention for welcoming prosperity and wealth into your life and uh yeah that that energy is just supported by that meditation so let's get now onto the zodiac sign forecast and the zodiac signs that are most impacted by the energy of this fire tiger coming in and before we start remember you do have four zodiac signs or four animal signs in your natal chart these are based on the uh year the month the day and even the hour you're born if you don't know the hour it's okay um I do have a zodiac sign calculator on the website which I always include in my link below so you can kind of take note of where these zodiac signs fall and that's the area in your life that it will impact so if it falls in your year that does represent your Social Circle friends and Community around you so kind of external events in the that does represent your career and your parental relationships so sometimes that'll impact that and even sometimes you could see some health things going on and the day that always represents your health and your relationships the way you truly feel about yourself and the hour does uh represent your thoughts feelings emotions and your relationship with your children but also your like your downline or people underneath you if you are like a manager or a boss so this is how how we can look at these areas and starting with the Ty soy or the Grand Duke for the month this is the energy that governs the month or the zodiac sign that governs the month and that is again the tiger so we can look at that Shin sha stars for the year to see where you can focus your attention and so for you it might be all about movement motion traveling uh it's a good month for you to plan a trip maybe you plan a little romantic getaway we talked about renewing passion so that might be something to do you may feel a little bit more Restless because of the sky horse star that is there for the year it's just a really good year for you to travel anyway um things may move really fast for you because that Sky horse also represents just things moving and going quickly and remember February is a shorter month anyway we have it's a few days shorter um just because uh you know that it may just seem like it just goes so fast for you and so the month just might pass really quick another thing to look for this year is the I can't say this uh Meritus and uh meritorious I suppose it's it's the proper word meritorious reward it uh so just be ready for your efforts to be recognized by others because of that star there and again that is for the year and so you may be feeling like you're putting in some effort this month or you're you know but it is a month for you to get recognition and uh just the year in general so if you don't see it this month then be ready for it this year just keep putting in that effort and because you will be recognized and then my caution to you is the sky cry star which may leave you feeling a little down but just focus on the positives and don't isolate yourself invite yourself along to you know your friends uh you know events and stuff like that so yeah just don't you know sometimes we can invite ourselves along and it's not that people aren't thinking about it sometimes you know we just have to remember that we can be the ones to also you know volunteer to go like hey let's go do this or let's go do that so yeah don't isolate yourself this month next with the seasonal combination so if you have a dragon or a rabbit that does combine with the sign of the tiger that is present for the month so since it's the month that's already there and so these animal signs that make up the season of spring are the tiger rabbit and dragon and all three of these signs will form to combine to make wood and that does represent um connection networking self-growth uh it's a good month for you to sign up for a course or go for a certification to learn something new CU wood also represents education and so if you've been wanting to learn something different or sign up for a course or just learn a new hobby or something like that it's a really good month for you to do that and again just kind of that self uh help and you know just kind of working on yourself also can be really supported this month and when you do have this combination like if you have the both the dragon and the rabbit it's really good potential to make you very strong and could show um wealth opportunity and um just uh in general uh kind of um the the opportunity you know and if you have a dog or a horse you do combine to make What's called the three harmony with the Tigers so the three Harmony combination does help to make connection and when these three combine it makes the element of fire so fire does represent inspiration happiness and joy and so you can just use the energy to kind of gain A Renewed sense of passion inspiration time to enjoy life just feel happy passionate you know just just a general overall wellness and good happy feeling okay and so just enjoy that this month sometimes we kind of get into the uh just the you know Daily Grind I suppose so take the time to enjoy that combination and the extra fire energy that can be there for the month and you can use the South sector to give the horse a little extra strength and take advantage of the nine star that is there for the month the combo of six or what is called the secret friend to the tiger is the pig so the pig tiger do combine and form wood and much like that seasonal combination you can use it also to make connection do networking that self growth sign up for a course certification learning something new and for you you might want to use the Northeast sector to stay ahead Northwest sector is also good if you want to sit where the pig is uh it's pretty good this month but Northeast will kind of help you make progress and secure a little bit more work or contracts and that's really for anybody Northeast does have the eight star which we'll talk about in the funu segment so should be quite good for the pig um again just doing things that kind of it's it's more of a connection type thing but also can represent connection with our thinking you know and so we we can think of that as making connections where you hadn't uh made a connection before like if you have a theory that you're working on or something with work where it's more abstract and you have to make the connection to put it together um this pig tiger combination can help you do that all right so the monkey is the clashing zodiac sign but you know you will not have a true Clash for the month because the monkey actually combines with the dragon remember the dragon rat and monkey make a the water frame the water combination and so a true Clash actually does not occur for you during the month and um yeah so during Clash months it's really good to uh you know just make changes it's a good time to move it's a good time to um you know just do something different than you've been doing because usually it clashes out old energy and so if something has not really been going well for you or you need to change clashing energy can be good but as I kind of stated you're not really going to experience a true Clash because it does combine uh the dragon combines that away for the year so you're actually quite safe uh for the year and so you can actually also use the north sector to get ideas if you're a zodiac sign a monkey you can use that uh that North for the rat energy then it'll combine um but also since that does make water for you the dragon a rat and the monkey it that is all about like wisdom and thinking you know movement getting things flowing and so if you have feel like you felt stuck and you're under the zodiac sign of monkey use the north sector and that'll be quite good for you uh not just for the month but even for the entire year is qu the north is quite good all right let's go ahead and look at the flying stars funu best and worst sectors for February in the year of the dragon all right guys looking at the flying stars for February remember the flying stars have moved for the year also so there's going to be different yearly SL Monon L combos that go into that sector and um a few things have changed so flying starters number one 4 6 8 and 9 are generally considered positive um but again there's exceptions to the rules and so flying stars one and nine this month are kind of okay Flying Star four is unusable and nine is all right I'll say and so uh we can enhance these areas or mitigate the energies let's look at enhan dancing first so Flying Star number one does go to the north and again it goes back to its original uh sector Palace there so the one star enhances that yearly eight wealth star that's present so very good combination it can increase business enhance your career CU remember that one star sometimes it's uh or even in the north you know it's it's referred to as your like your career Palace or whatever uh in some some uh schools of funu so we do want to you know still taken into account um from my perspective that that one does help with movement in career and you know to get things kind of going so combined with that eight Flying Star which is called the wealth star you can use that to secure more work and contracts and you can enhance this by working in the sector and by water water in the sector for the years is quite good anyway um so you can just put water there uh Place water here making a note on my newsletter so that'll be out also so go ahead and check that out and it's a little guide for the month um and it just kind of guide you each month and each sector that you need to enhance your cure so Flying Star number four uh is generally called the academic star and it is considered good however it's Landing in the Southeast which we know from the yearly energies going there can be a little bit challenging and so the fourstar is considered good and that but that lands with the number two illness star in the Grand Duke plus the five tiger Shaw for the that's just there for the year and that can be activate it by um either using or um you know renovation so we don't want to activate those energies because they could be a little bit Fierce feeling okay we don't want to activate negative things in our home we want to activate the positive things so um you just find somewhere else to study you're fine just uh study somewhere else so the Northwest though does have have the 64 combination remember the four is there for the year um and so the uh Northwest is actually pretty good sector I typically like the Northwest sector anyway so the sticks falling there can increase Authority and expertise combined with that four star it's a combo of 10 so I'd use that area instead no need to use something you can't use right so it's excellent for management and bosses to use and so if you are in charge you're a boss you have a downline or you have subordinates go ahead and use the Northwest sector and you can also place a fan here and I said for the month but you can place a fan here for the year too because this energy is quite good just be careful of course when the Flying Star five goes but generally a good area to enhance for the year and we have our Flying Star number eight which is of course considered the wealth star and that does go back to to the Northeast and I have been forgetting to include the GU numbers but it's in the newsletter again you can go look so I'll include that now gu 8 so the eight star does join that yearly six star making it a another lucky 68 combination so it's excellent for wealth opportunity getting ahead in projects or if you're the lead or delegating work because the six represents the boss and the eight represents working so you can put in some extra hours also if you um are not a boss if you're an employee um you can take some extra assignments work extra hours and you know could be quite beneficial for you this month also if you're a gu8 so but you know using the sector of course we know that sending emails cold leads follow-up calls uh everything to enhance and increase your chance of securing extra work will be supported this month in the Northeast and moving to the south for the GU 9 here is the nine star and so the Nine Star is considered good and it's I mean called the happiness star but it does join the yearly Seven Star the combination is considered just mediocre my opinion it could be usable though if you want to get your story out so if you are on social media you make content you can use it to spread your word knowledge expertise but do watch out for miscommunication and if you're a female and you're using the sector you sleep here uh things like that do be cautious of of fighting if if you have a daughter or so be a little bit cautious I talked about that on the yearly update so the 79 combination does denote fighting between females possibly even bullying and so um yeah just use a sector it should be quite fine and if you need to talk communicate uh that seven star is about communication and talking and uh you know all that type of thing so you can definitely use the sector but I wouldn't uh activate it so just skip the activation and you can use a sector if if you feel like you need uh some more inspiration so the south is okay not great though and now looking at challenging or you know I guess worst sectors right so remember you don't have to cure every sector just do the ones where you spend a lot of time or where you sleep like if you have bedroom in the area or if your front door is there you might want to consider a cure and cures can be a saltwater cure I I do those um and then the charm with six or seven coins you know if you use other adjustments you can go ahead and use those some people use like the Wu gourds uh you know there's just other things that from your tradition and perspective are totally fine to use if you see fit in that area Okay so flying stars two and five and are considered negative and three and seven or eh um can be neutral or negative depending on where they fall and so uh taking a look where those land this uh month here so flying remember everything goes back to its original gu so Flying Star number two does go to the southwest and even though it's a really good sector uh for the year do be a little bit cautious I don't think that it's going to cause a lot of a trouble or anything like that the sector is actually very positive for the year and it's quite like vibrant you know and so you know I don't think it's going to cause too much issues so I don't think you need to put a cure here I just think you need to be cautious if you're sleeping here maybe uh maybe you could add a little something to it but generally I think the South uh West could actually be quite positive um all year despite the two star and so if you're a guad 2 that's when you'd probably want to watch out for maybe some kind of health issue but with that Nine Star and in that the southeast or sorry Southwest sector guu uh should be quite okay you know it's one of the instances where the two star is actually not too bad and looking here at the three star so a three star does go East and it does combine with the near the yearly one star with water feeding the wood it shouldn't be too much of a factor and the East is also another sector that is quite vibrant for the year so it should be okay uh it could be really great for individuals that play defense if you do aggressive Sports occupation like a lawyer because the three does represent arguing and if you argue for work even better um but if you sleep here a Gua 3 just be careful about giving into anger getting upset and acting out okay um you could plus the saltwater cure here if you prefer um just if you sleep in the area but I really don't think that it's totally necessary for the two and three star for the month flying back home is the star number seven to the west star disputes mostly about miscommunication speaking out of turn it does join that yearly five star again the West the five in the west is not a super it's not going to have a super big impact this year due to some uh calculations uh it shouldn't be too bad so um a saltwater jar might be there especially if you sleep there if you're a GU 7 um if you're already sick and the Seven Star does come and appear um sometimes that denotes you getting sicker or the need for surgery you know it worsens the condition and so if you have a chronic illness or if you're already sick and you sleep in the west do add a a cure there okay um so keeping that sector quiet uh could be quite good so also avoid um you know arguments and stuff in the sector and here we have Flying Star number five not a factor this month it goes to the center and it is one of the Palaces that actually can contain that five star and it it's where you know it's it's home safe right and so that five star actually is not negative for the month it is safely contained at home he's visiting home he's hang hanging out uh un angered and unprovoked so Flying Star can uh a five can actually show some and not really positive attributes because it's stuck in the center but uh yeah it it's there for the month so no need to cure the center of your home because it's not a GU so in addition to the yearly no renovation sectors we do want to avoid some Renovations for the month also please do check the guide for a complete list of that newsletter so the monthly nerve renovation sector are going to be where the Grand Duke and the month breaker fall the soy Po and the Ty soy so the monthly Grand Duke or the Tai soy is the tiger and that resides in the Northeast if you know um the 24 mountains that is Northeast uh three I believe I believe and then the month breaker there is the zodiac sign that clashes it in the southwest um three and so that's going to be the monkey and the soy Poe for the month so for a complete list of that uh please do go check out that newsletter that includes also date selection date selection is a little limited for February um I noticed there's not a whole lot of good dates there to do like function activations but you know there's a lot of dates for welcoming the god of wealth so do make sure to do that activity you know all you do is a short meditation there's also a little um denotation there to receive the god of happiness and the nobleman star and all you do is do a short meditation uh that night around uh midnight so um yeah and so the dates and the details for all that are on the newsletter so go uh check that out and remember that Renovations can also be done in some sectors using date and time SE selection specific to your home so if you do need a date to start Renovations and you're thinking you're like oh no I need to use one of these a sectors um you know then please contact me and we can kind of find a a date and time you know if you can wait then I would go ahead and hold out waiting if it's not a super important activity like you know your Plumbing's not backed up or you know something like that and it can wait then I'd go ahead and wait if it's in one of these sectors all right guys that about does it for today I did not do a folklore Friday segment because
