align the flow of energy for the month so whether you're looking to enhance your personal life your relationships or just your space this update does provide the insights and tools you need to make the most of the month ahead in this case it is the month of the water rooster let's get into it all right guys so you already know we're starting off strong with the solar Cycles so the solar Cycles is a 15-day solar cycle of energy there's two within each month usually they are referred to as a micro season of course encompassing the 30 days of the month the first one starting the month of the water rooster does start September 6th and it lasts through September 22nd it is a time of the year where we start to seeing more Dew on the ground more condensation and that does kind of correspond with these this metal energy of the month remember metal does produce water and metal is the governing energy of the Autumn months we also do start to see the migration of birds for the winter season September 22nd through October 7th is the autumn Equinox and it corresponds closely with the Pagan wheel of the year and the observance of the Autumn Equinox a neat little tidbit I found in the Old Farmers Almanac is something called Harvest home which used to be celebrated in British countries and in other parts of Europe This marked the conclusion of the Harvest and a period of festivals for feasting and Thanksgiving it was also a time to hold elections pay workers and collect rents these festivals usually took place around the Autumn Equinox and certain groups within the United States for example the Pennsylvania Dutch have kept this tradition alive staying healthy during this time protecting your lung and skin from dryness so again those are two organs within Chinese medicine that are represented by the element of metal so it is recommended to use moisturizers and eat seasonal foods which we'll talk about in just a second to keep these organs nourish remember your skin is the largest organ you do also want to warm your stomach and spleen to help moisten the body keeping warm especially in the cooler mornings and evenings especially your head neck feet and ankles and as winter nears help preserving your Yin energy is recommended by getting plenty of rest and sleep to maintain a Yin yangong balance I personally love to be outside during this time of year we've had a little bit of a cooler weather this last week and in Texas we do call that false Autumn because we know that the temperatures will probably get back to the 90 uh Fahrenheit soon you know again pretty warm so uh I do like to be outside though so it is recommend that you don't stop all activity but you know maybe start going to bed a little bit earlier start winding down earlier during the day and then of course considering acupuncture for the fall and winter seasons can help maintain your health suggested Foods again are going to nourish your lung and skin and your liver and so for the lungs and skin pears almonds white mushrooms radishes and honey especially raw honey is supposed to be good for your liver the leafy green vegetables uh dandelion type greens dark green salads beets collared greens turmeric and the milk thistle is supposed to help you can get those in herb form another herb you can consider is Chinese skull cap which clears Heat and detoxifies the liver so cleaning the lung skin and liver is recommended this time of year what can we expect and what does our Funway Focus for the month this is coming from the newsletter on the website it is on the website under the blog post labeled monthly energy update you can find it there this and more information so I cover a lot here but there is actually a lot that I don't cover which I think you might find interesting so go check that out at learnfengshui.com all right month of the quu water rooster what thing we can kind of do when we look at the upcoming month is look at past water rooster years water rooster months one interesting thing that I found out is in the last year of the water rooster in 1993 the US did experience a superstorm causing snow to reach as far as Florida I don't think we'll be getting like these weird snowstorms especially this early in the year but I do think we will continue to experience a very active tropical storm or hurricane season throughout the fall and witness some other weird weather phenomena that's just kind of also in the year of the dragon we have a lot of weather related phenomena usually relating to Earth changes like earthquakes volcanoes and stuff like that perhaps something like that I'm not sure we can only look at the trends and make the predictions based on the information that's there it's the only information I have funct focus is letting go so the Autumn season does encompass August September October and it's associated with the element of metal and during this period the changes in nature kind of become apparent cooler morning slower plant growth leaves changing color and of course the beginning of the transition to the cooler months essentially getting us ready to be dormant for the winter and it is a time when Nature signals us to release and let go the metal element is associated with emotion and grief so it's a time of the year that might bring up past emotions and memories especially approaching the holidays you know we might be thinking of loved ones who have passed maybe we're just ruminating which is just kind of overthinking or thinking about uh past events past people past lovers as well as past mistakes so can also lead to that excessive kind of overthinking and metal does produce water and water is that emotion we can kind of feel a little bit sad maybe depressed this time of year and you know the skies have been gray the past few days here in Texas no sunshine and well I do love a cloudy day I ready for some cooler weather with some sun so I totally understand people that live in cooler climates or climates where it's very rainy and it does kind of bring on this emotion or depression kind of feeling we need the sun you know we need that sun to help us with that depressive energy it is natural to experience these things but it is important to address them as they arise not dwell on them and just continue to think about it releasing these emotions can be done by feeling and acknowledging these emotions instead of suppressing it talking about your feelings with a trusted person a friend or counselor practicing deep breathing to activate that stress relieving chemical it helps relax the parasympathetic nervous system which does relate to those endorphins and that stress hormone and it kind of disengages all of that so deep breathing I can't stress enough is one of the most effective things you can do to lower your blood pressure and to relieve stress and anxiety it's amazing for those things engaging in self-care activities a hobby personal well-being you know have a little spa day maybe have a girl day just kind of get out of that funk all right let's look into the zodiac signs and see what the energy has in store for the signs okay if you're new here looking at this zodiac forecast you might be wondering one how you figure out what your zodiac signs are you can go to the website at learnfengshui.com there is a zodiac sign calculator and in the newsletter there is a link also so you can just follow all those links the energy does impact you depending on where it falls in your natal chart so remember that you might know that you're born you know the year of the we'll just say rooster um but you actually have four different zodiac signs so you have a zodiac sign for the year month day and even hour that you're born a lot of people don't know the hour but if you just plug in your birth date with the hour unknown you can get quite a bit of information so the newsletter does show you exactly how to read it so there's a little section before the actual um forecasting and it does kind of uh have a little guide there so the year represents your friend group Social Circle and Community around you so it'll impact kind of those outside Circle of Friends the month does represent your career your paral relationships you'll see an impact there sometimes your sibling relationships the day does represent health and romantic relationships so you'll see that impact there also kind of the way you view yourself or think about yourself your true self and the hour does represent your children's thoughts emotions feelings and if you are a boss it does represent your subordinate so it could represent your career in that way if your zodiac sign falls there that is the area of life that it will impact looking at the Zodiac forecast for September here we have the Grand Duke which is the rooster it is the energy that governs the month usually referred to as the Grand Duke or some times a tie soy we look at what is called the shin Shaw stars or symbolic stars for the year to see where we can focus our attention this month the rooster could have some financial gain looking at two things here called Earth relief which does represent investing Investments and property Investments if you're looking at making an investment this month it could be very favorable or maybe you could see a return on investment especially if you've invested in some sort of property land homes things like that I'm hoping our homes will sell this month because my husband's a real estate investor so maybe that'll benefit me abundance charm financial gain and enjoying the good life so you may have a little extra money this month but do be careful and avoid overspending because of the small consumer star which does represent just kind of a happy time some overspending you know and I can see that because in my case my uh youngest is having her sweet 16 birthday party and it's definitely running into a little bit of change here I'm thinking that's where my rooster is going to see the spending it might be something like that the abundance charm of course is enjoying the good life while the small consumer is spending maybe you're spending on a party or planning an event something like that but you might end up spending money and if you don't plan to spend the money sometimes then things end up breaking and you end up spending that way so that small consumer can get you either way sometimes it does also represent uh terms coming to end if you have like a 0% interest and those terms are ending this month you might have to pay a little bit of chunk of change so sometimes it comes in that way the element of the rooster in and of itself is a metal it's the peak of the Season water with the metal does represent like a polishing so if you think of the way the water kind of runs over and polishes say gold in a stream it's the same type of thing the more you kind of think you know more you have that thought process the more you kind of uh process emotions and things like that it's like the smarter you get the more you're able to polish your ideas and really kind of refine things so it is a good month for you to refine some ideas you may have looking at the seasonal combination monkey rooster dog these are the months that make up the season of Autumn this does have the potential to make you very strong and show wealth opportunity if you have these three signs or if you have the dog and the monkey you'll see the rooster this month and have the energy of pure metal and it does give you the ability to make connection and network with others in your field help collaborate helps you focus organize and structure your work helps you put Business Systems into place and again letting go of what no longer serves you decluttering and organizing is also helpful for you this month you also need to be careful that you're not sitting there overthinking and doing the ruminating thing where you're reliving the past and thinking about the past or past people you know the past was better now let's look what at what's right in front of you and also future thinking little bit of planning can help you overcome those past thoughts all right the three Harmony rooster snake and Ox this three Harmony combination does have the energy to help you get tasks done and to focus it's also good for brainstorming and problem solving because metal is that thought process organize files declutter and help you with executive function activity so remember executive function is going to be things like um organization but like with life organization it's those things like being on time making a schedule uh planning your meals it's things like that so if you feel like you've need needed to get some things done like that and you have the ox or the snake then that rest is going to come in and help you kind of structure those things okay Network and collaborate with others in your field same as the seasonal combination and of course it gives you the ability to get things done and execute your plans the combination of six or the secret friend is the dragon the dragon to Rooster combine and give you the ability to brainstorm and problem solve refine ideas and put them into action as mentioned you may fall victim to the overthinking also and being sentimental do recognize your emotions and let go that really is a theme for the month because all of these zodiac signs do combine to create the element of metal the rabbit clashes with the rooster in September it does make a combination with the year so I'm not sure how much you're going going to get with this Clash you might be just fine because a combination does take precedence over a clash and so you may not feel it too much this month but during the clashes you can definitely use that opposing energy to make a change one thing that could occur is the Romantic entanglement with this Clash you may find yourself romantically interested in somebody but that rooster rabbit Clash does indicate more of a short-term attraction and not necessarily a long-term commitment or Rel relationship sectors for the month flying stars how we can enhance or areas we need to cure so flying stars number 1 four8 and six are usually considered positive but do present a challenge when they meet with negative yearly sectors or Stars which is the case with the star nine and six for the month when we say functional activation we do mean that you can move the energy or chi in the area with a radio a fan aquarium candle or moving object or even just using the sector to work steady and you can clean into clutter also those are all ways to activate the sector I usually put a little icon on the newsletter on the website imagine that easy guide go to learnfengshui.com to check that out okay starting with Flying Star number one The Authority star it does go into gu 8 in the Northeast so if the one Authority star combining with the six yearly star in the Northeast does show career progression so use the sector to enhance the opportunity for promotion or use it to establish yourself as expert in your work related field and activity if you are a GU 8 you do have the potential for career growth or Economic Opportunity or maybe even travel for the month and you can enhance this energy by just using the sector or placing a fan or having some kind of moving object in the area little radio works well too Flying Star number four known as The Academy star it does go to guu in the south West so that Flying Star four combining with the yearly nine does make a special combination good for organizing executing plans and creative thinking or ideas so guad to females you do need to be cautious of being too overbearing this month you can enhance sector by using the sector for brainstorming organizing and again those executive function activities and of course learning so studying in the area is always good Flying Star number three is usually known as the conflict star but it can have a positive impact this month when it goes to the north it does combine with the yearly star eight which creates a special combination this can be used for expansion growth and self-improvement if you're looking to grow something expand into something expand your business use that North sector of course put a fan or you can do a short-term water activation and gu one be cautious of injury to your feet and legs and do keep your temper in check and under control try to avoid disput about work or workloads and finances so be careful of that this month if you're a GU one Flying Star eight the coveted wealth star which we like to chase here does go to guix the Northwest so old-fashioned hard work and effort usually follow that eighth star and nothing comes to those who are lazy of course it does usually just represent that work and the work ethic financial gain always requires some effort of some sort and you can use a sector to work and bonus if you do have an intellectual property to sell so if you have something to sell a book or something like that now is the time to use the Northwest to do it if you are gu 6 you may see Financial opportunity this month so it may be quite busy for you also I like to use the example if you are a stay-at-home mom you know you're not going to magically get money but you will be busier that eight does represent just working and being busy so it doesn't necessarily equate to financial gain if you're not putting your effort into Financial Endeavors if that makes sense so be careful you're not putting effort without seeing a payout is my caution to the GU 6 for the month now looking at challenging sectors for the month areas that you can cure flying stars two and five are usually considered negative while flying stars three and seven can be more neutral depending on where they visit of course this month the three is positive and the Seven Star will just set the tone because it falls Center so some of these other stars are consider positive like the six and N like I talked about earlier but they really can't be used and and you can cure them with just not using the area or you can put a saltwater cure which is just basically a jar with salt waterer and six or seven coins in it and a charm usually works a wulu gourd if you have something you like to use then feel free to use it too whatever you like to use to cure I know there's certain cures to flying stars that they teach in different schools of function white you are of course welcome to use those whatever your beliefs are flank star number two the illness star does go to the Heth to the GU n and of course it does fall with that yearly seven star and it does indicate there may be a need for surgery especially if you're already ill if you have a respiratory illness or if your room or front door is located here try not to use this area do be cautious with fire related accidents this month do be careful with open flames and like if you smoke be sure to put your cigarettes out and stuff like that so just be cautious using open Flames be careful with candles stuff like that for the month especially in the South or if you're a guanine if you're a on nine stomach related issues can occur so make sure you prepare your food properly and be careful where you eat what you're eating make sure you're taking the proper precautions and food safety measures when preparing food and of course you can cure this with the salt cure but just really keeping the sector quiet should be just fine Flying Star number five is the disaster star does go east to gu 3 this should not cause much of an issue but it does indicate a issue with urinary or reproductive organs if you're happen to sleep here if your front door is here or if you're a GU three if you are a GU 3 do take caution in your health and be proactive in your self-care don't ignore your symptoms please go to the doctor you can mitigate this by assault cure spending less time in the sector or placing your preferred item or cure Flying Star 7 does go to the center and it's called IL legal and dispute star Remember the center is not necessarily considered a GU if you're a true Gua 5 sometimes this can impact you what I've learned is more or less the center does set the theme for the month and it's showing us we need to be cautious of what we say so the seven star does cause conflict but unlike the three star the conflict usually is more verbal because the GU 7 is the West the West does represent communication and speech talking and of course that rooster does reside in the seven it is September is the month of the rooster and the rooster likes to be loud if you've ever been around a rooster they like to hear themselves speak sometimes it's more of a thing of you're just you know won't stop talking Petty bickering arguments and maybe even slandering others you know um don't uh don't do that this month it's just not professional and not very polite to do that you know it's not very demure so do try to be cautious of what you say and just try not to be Petty this month roosters love to be Petty gu sens love to be Petty and it just kind of represents that kind of arguing type of communication so don't do that this month just in general that's for everybody Flying Star number six called the luck star does go to the southeast and again you know luck star is good six star is good but Falling where it's falling this month in the Southeast where the yearly two star which is the illness star resides we have the instance of a good Flying Star falling into a sector that's unusable uh you may have some illness if you're sleeping here if your front door is located here or if you use the sector often go number four do be careful in taking advice from others especially in the Supernatural aspect card readings Etc this month they may not prove to be very accurate so do be cautious of that if you are a GU 4 you can mitigate this by placing a salwat cure or a preferred item especially if your bedrooms here and just keep the sector generally quiet Flying Star number nine the happiness star goes to gu heav in the west and again the instance of the good star and the bad sector unusable for the month and this kind of indicates interor illness with the combination it does fall with a yearly five star the 59 combin does kind of carry the indication of disease or an STD if you're happen to be uh dating and things like that uh the energy combining does carry that indication make sure you're using protection and taking care of yourself so abstaining from new partners if that's the case and if you are having symptoms seek treatment if needed so don't ignore that most things are treatable do be cautious okay uh mitigate by placing a saltwater cure if your bedroom's here and just keeping the sector generally quiet or placing your preferred item or cure in the area looking at no renovation sectors now the Earth Shaws for the month so the no renovations are sectors or areas that you want to avoid digging and major Renovations for the year or the month and this does apply to the ground floor only of your home so if you have a ground level apartment or if you're wanting to renovate something on the second floor this doesn't apply or if you have an apartment that is above ground level you can do renovations only looking at flying stars so it does only affect the earth and the ground floor of a building and of course for the year we're going to want to avoid the southeast it does house also that yearly a Grand Duke and a disaster Shaw the wuji shaw the south is going to be a sector we're not going to want to renovate for the entire year um and of course the Southwest which all have that uh three kings which which is the loss and inuring illness which usually indicates Financial loss and some sort of accident happening so we want to avoid renovating there and of course the West is the Grand Duke or the Ty soy for the month and going directly across is the rabbit in the East and that is the five yellow for the month also as well as a soy Poe or the month breaker we want to avoid the clashing energy in our home as well as the clashing energy personal in our batsa that is residing in the the East we're not going to want to renovate that area and remember Renovations can be done in these sectors with date and time selection in most cases so if you need to have a renovation done in one of these areas you're looking at starting and you want to pick a good day to start that's possible too so just shoot me a message and we can talk about that and of course there is good dates like lucky dates calendar on the website in that newsletter so make sure you check
