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 Feng Shui, Chinese astrology, all things Chinese metaphysics, as well as the superstitions and myths that connect it all, you'll enjoy learning Feng Shui with me. Hey guys, welcome to the Winter Assaults' episode. I'm excited to talk about the concept of the nobleman or what is usually known as helpful people. Let's start off first by looking at what a nobleman is.
So there's a really great article on the Feng Shui by Jin website. I'm just really really great articles on there. So I will of course link that below. But here it says, a nobleman is simply described as helpful people. Gramm asks you to remain in low labels that is Earth Angels.
And while the physical or abstract form of nobleman is not always absolute, whenever the nobleman luck disappears, it signifies a more auspicious time in one's life. So basically, nobleman is of course a helpful person in your life, helpful people that appear. So I really do stand on the the kind of quote that no man is an island. And we really do need help whether it's somebody close to us, you know, maybe it's just somebody we can talk to really non-during that time or somebody we partner with or maybe they even benefit us financially, you know, that can be a helpful person. But sometimes it comes in a form of people we don't really see or we don't really know.
And you know, maybe they push things there for us and we didn't expect things to happen or, you know, we, you know, somebody returns something that you lost, you know, that's the help of a nobleman. And that's the power of this nobleman energy. I have a really great story about activating an energy called a young nobleman, which is actually what I'm going to focus on in today's later segment. But the nobleman really is a really powerful energy that can bring you, know, some good luck. It can boost you up.
And it'll really bring you people into your life that can help benefit you. So again, as mentioned, one of the ways we can find a nobleman or one of the ways to use it is actually looking at our own personal in and young or in a young nobleman. So in Batsu, we do have different like symbolic stars in there. And two, the stars that we have are the end and the yang nobleman. So if you, and this kind of just goes off of your, it was called your day master.
Remember the day you're born, there is an element on top of the animal sign or that zodiac sign. So if you are born under the element of a yang metal yang, or third gang would, your nobleman is the ox and the goat. If you're born under the element of yang fire, or you're in fire, your nobleman is the horse, I mean, the, sorry, the rooster or the pig. If you're born under the element of the yang metal, your, um, again, and yang nobleman is the horse and tiger. If you're born under the element of yang or third gang would, your system, the monkey or rat.
The elements of yang and yang water, their nobleman is the snake and the rabbit. So what happens and how do you find this like, how do you actually use it? How do we use this? So how exactly do we use the nobleman look in our botzes? So one of the most practical things is just kind of look for when that zodiac sign appears, kind of going back to the definition earlier, it did say whenever the nobleman look does appear, it signifies more auspicious time in one's life.
So just kind of practically looking at the energy of the day, the month, the years, you know, every year of course it's governed by a zodiac sign, you're going to get a year that has one of your nobleman, but more practically looking at the months of the year. So I mean, remember the 12 zodiac signs govern the 12 months and so at least twice during the year you're going to get the luck of the yang or the yang nobleman. So and even every day, so remember these animal signs also cycle through every 12 days. So a few times during the month, you're going to have a day that could possibly bring you that nobleman look, you know, it might be a day where your, you know, wallet is recovered or whatever. So just kind of keep your eye out for that.
And when looking at bots, if we look at your what's called your luck cycle, so you do have your four animal signs that govern your year, your month, your day, and the hour, your born. But you also have what it's called your luck cycle. And that is actually going to be a 10 year cycle of energy. And sometimes it appears in the luck cycle. So every 10 years that switches.
So throughout your life, you, you know, will have this probably at least once if not twice. So really just kind of practically looking at when those energies occur that can mean you're having a nobleman look and you could have helpful people around you. So one thing that I would note is that sometimes when nobleman luck does appear, it is not necessarily in the help of a nice person. So I think this particular lily holds true to botsa. So when activating the nobleman within your home, don't worry about this so much.
But in our natal chart, one thing I noticed is sometimes when that nobleman luck does appear, it can come in the form of a tough helper. So just for practical example, if you watch the Harry Potter movies, if you think of Professor Snape and the how tough he was in Harry Potter and he really stressed Harry Potter out, right? He's who's stressing Harry the whole time, sweating him and everything. But it really was because he knew that Harry was capable of great things. And of course he was kind of shadowed to protect him.
So that's like the perfect example of the inn nobleman kind of an unseen force that that protects you. However, again, sometimes it can be a little bit tough. And remember, if you really think about it, some of our hardest life lessons or the most impactful ones have been because we've had like a really tough teacher or somebody you really tough on us and you know push us to that potential. Kind of just practically looking at a Feng Shui, maybe from a little bit of western style or BTP style of Feng Shui, you can either look for the northwest corner of your home or the northwest wall or sector of your home or you can look for the back left corner. And that usually is set to represent helpful people and travel.
Generally it's called like the travel sector, but most of the time it is kind of like known as benefactors or helpful people sector area. So if you practice that style and you want to enhance your area that way, you can add either metallic or earth elements to feed into the metal. So remember when we're looking at the element cycle, especially when we're decorating or enhancing it that way with decor or those intentional reminders, we can definitely look at that element cycle and we can take our inspiration from that. So when we look at Feng Shui design, we do look at the element cycle and what feeds into the element of that wall or sector. And so it's not an area that I like to place water, but you can because so if you think about it, water actually degrades the metal that is represented by that sector.
And so you want to do something to enhance or feed it. So you can either add a touch of metal to strengthen it and enhance and kind of, yeah just enhance that metal energy. And so you can do this by adding you know your colors you can add in your descents, metals, metallic type colors, rainbow colors are really pretty. Of course those solvers and grays like things like that you're new. But if you want to feed into the palace, you can you decorate with colors that are like metallics, your warm just kind of earthy tones like maybe a beige or peach tones and yellows, you know so kind of those warm earthy type tones of color.
If you'd like to use crystals and stuff like that you can definitely do that and shapes shapes represent the elements also. So you can definitely add like square shapes, square type pillows in earth tones or you can add crystals of course which represent the earth element citrine, things like that. If you want to enhance and just keep with the tone of metals you can definitely use like round shapes and again just kind of taking from those tones and color palettes that represent the element. So looking at a really dynamic energy you know kind like I mentioned earlier there's different symbolic meanings in your bots chart. Well there's different symbolic stars that also visit your different guas or sectors of your home.
For this you probably need a little bit more detailed compass or a baguette over your home which is called the 24-mountain compass. So it actually breaks the compass down from north to three sectors of north so it'll be north one, two, and three or northwest one, two, and three. So you need a little more detail because you're going to want to find the animal sign of dragon or horse. So there's some very auspicious energies with the dragon horse this year. The sun noble, the sun noble is with the dragon and consequently if you do have the dragon in your natal chart and your bots a chart you you will have what is called the sun noble.
So what that means is that the energy is actually like getting problems out in the open this year. So you're going to have the energy with you that is like shines a light on on the issues so you're able to bring them out into open and solve them. So that's one of the things that the sun noble does. So that's a really a good and auspicious energy. The one thing I will warn against with the sun noble is that if you have any things that you don't want dragged out in the open or public or to be common knowledge that may be revealed because again it's like shining the light on everything and everything's revealed.
So sometimes it's better just to get things out in the open though and get it over with so you can just talk about it and move past it. I did forget to mention that area is called Southeast 3 that has the energy of the dragon like it houses the zodiacs and the dragon within your home. So you'd have to find the area of Southeast 3 to activate that dragon energy and that's not going to come into after February so make sure we're not activating that quite yet. So the other energy we want to look at is called the moon noble. So looking at the energy for 2023 the moon noble is a also problem solving energy but it solves it in a little bit quieter way.
So it's kind of like one of those negotiating things where it's like a negotiation tactic that you can kind of can sweep things under the table you can deal with them privately and yeah and the problems are solved so and that is with the zodiac sign of the horse this year. So these are a little bit different than they in in young nobles or the nobles in your zodiac chart but even though you might not have the helpful people come out necessarily you will have the ability to solve problems this year and this is with the zodiac sign of horse and the sector of south 2 so I'm not sure that I want to activate the south 2 of our homes yet so stay tuned for those activations because there's some other energies not sure we want to kind of trigger off in the home but if you do have the zodiac sign of horse know that you do have that problem solving energy and I will talk more about the zodiac signs and the auxiliary stars that are accompanying them for the year so stay tuned for that but yeah that is one way we can look at some problem solving energies also. Looking at now the energy that we're going to want to activate after the winter solstice is the energy called the Yang noblemen so I'm going to explain here just a minute what they in and Yang noblemen are but first I want to tell a little of a personal story about how impactful this noblemen energy can be so for 2020 during quarantine you know during all that COVID situation you know we've racked up a lot of debt we accumulated a lot of debt we actually have some properties foreclosed on the husband's a real estate investor and one of the biggest things I think that we were trying to catch up on was that we had a forebarrens on our home so a forebarrens basically on a mortgage is you just defer your payments for a certain amount of time so we're having our payments deferred for six months at a time so but at the end of the six months you're going to have to come with the lump sum of money or you know we're facing selling our home and so you know obviously this is pretty concerning and pretty stressful and so beginning of 2021 we're starting to get back on track financially but one of the biggest things that we had to take care of was the forebarrens and paying that back to the mortgage company and of course this was the biggest stress right doing you sell your home what are we going to do so I remember it very specifically because it was June it was the middle of June and this is why I am currently signed up with my fungstreet master master of esterge in S&GO because of this activation and how impactful it was so I just happened to actually stumble into clubhouse you remember that apps and I don't if you still use that so I stumbled into clubhouse I just happened to see a master jinssen there I had been following him on Facebook and saw some of his posts and you know thought his stuff was pretty interesting I was kind of following him and I was like oh he's I didn't I'm think I realized he even um you know was actively like teaching how this kind of mastermind group and so he was talking about the energy coming in which is the innobelman it was coming into the south for 2021 um to the south sector so um I did an activation the best I knew how I mean without being a student he couldn't tell me a lot but I kind of did do some things and I was able to uh kind of decide for myself where to put this uh to do an activation I just lit a candle and I did some like cleaning and stuff so I activated the area so maybe two days later we got an email saying that everything had been pushed through we were approved from mortgage assistance we were able to pay the rest of the what we owed on the note that the mortgage assisted didn't cover and so it was just like this miracle happened um and on top of that my husband did get some um income relief you know some of that income relief from a COVID um you know that COVID relief that was happening around that time so we're very very blessed but it was like everything just got pushed through and like the right people came in and so and this is what I am talking about when I say sometimes the help comes from people we don't know so specifically the innobelman energy is said to bring in people that either we don't see maybe we don't know um sometimes it's it can be a feminine energy because it's you know the inn energy and so it's just that type of energy but sometimes it's a hidden hidden people or people we don't know strangers that come along to help us and that's why I'm so adamant about activating this energy so let's talk about now the yang nobleman that comes in on the solstice so the energy we're going to want to be looking at is again called the yang nobleman and it does come back around in um December around the 22nd after the solstice occurs and so the best way can kind of explain the inn and the yang noble or like the energies of why that they are the way they are is kind of expressed in the changing of the seasons so if we look at um December that's considered kind of the first half of the year December January February March you know all the way up from December till June is kind of considered the first and half of the year and looking at that time um the energy has declined so much um that our days are really short you know our nights are really long and of course the solstice is the longest night of the year we have the most darkness that we have so it is considered the most in time of the year but after the solstice occurs we have a gradual increase of tea or energy in you know our environment things you know we'll get started during the first spring and you know everything starts the energy starts accelerating again all the way up until June and so this is the yang energy this is the active masculine type energy so this occurs of course it ends on the summer solstice when the energy has built so much and we have the longest day of the year the shortest night uh well after that happens the energy again starts to decrease so from the summer solstice to the winter solstice we then have a yin time of year and that is known as the the yin noblemen the yin noblemen occurs so the yin noblemen it's kind of special this year it actually doesn't doesn't come in doesn't report for duty it doesn't doesn't show back up it takes a vacation the rest of the year um so we're not going to be able to activate it according to the calculations it actually goes to the center of our homes so we're not able to tap into that we can't use it um it's like it disappears right but however we can take a advantage of that yang noblemen that is coming in um on the the winter solstice so this actually is going to be in the west sector of our home so activating the west sector of our home um we do have to be mindful because next year after the shifting of the gear of the rabbit comes in around February we're going to want to be careful of not activating the area that is governed by the rooster right at west two so if you need help finding this with your floor plan i would be very happy to help you out remember i do offer to do that for for listeners so just message me and we can find a spot to activate with your home that can activate this energy but it just occurs in the west that's where it falls at for for this solstice so of course when i say activation i don't love putting water in the west but one thing you can do is place a little fan a little radio um something that just move there activates the chi so when i say fan i literally mean a small little usb fan i saw you some reactivations um or a small little radio it doesn't even have to be loud but i would suggest those um in areas that i don't like to place water like the west let's take a quick little ad break and we'll come back with our folklore Friday segment so what better thing to include in a winter solstice episode than a little bit of pagan culture in tradition so taking a look at the story of the legend of the holly king and the oak king i think it mirrors beautifully what i described with the energy that's waning and waxing throughout the year from learnorillegions.com the legend of the holly king and the oak king in many Celtic based traditions of neopagonism there's an enduring legend of the battle between the oak king and the holly king these are two mighty rulers that fight for supremacy as the will of the year turns each season at the winter solstice or yule the oak king conquers the holly king and then reigns until mid-summer or lita once the summer solstice arrives the holly king returns to do battle with the old king and defeats him in the legends of some belief systems the states and events are shifted and the battle actually takes place at the equinox so the oak king is the strongest during mid-summer or lita and the holly king is dominant during yule from a folklore and agricultural standpoint the interpretation seems to make sense in some way can traditions the oak king and the holly king are seen as dual aspects of the horn god each of these twin aspects rules for half of the year battles for favor of the goddess and then retires to nurses move for the next six months until it's time to take reign once more often these two entities are portrayed in familiar ways the holly king frequently appears of a wood as a woodsy version of santa he dresses in red and wears springs of holly tingle in his hair and sometimes depicted driving a team of stags the oak king is portrayed as the fertility god and often appears as the green man or the other lord of the forest the symbolism of the holly and ivy is something that has long appeared for centuries in particular their roles as representations of opposite seasons have been recognized for a long time particularly in a poem called green goeth the holly by king henry the eighth from maro botanical gardens dot com a lovely article entitled the everlasting battle of the holly oak king the winter solstice celebrated the rebirth of the sun a return to life and a changing of the seasons symbolizing the changing seasons the legend of the holly oak king represent a personifications of winter and summer they were locked into a never-ending battle for seasonal supremacy both kings represent a solar lightness darkness crop renewal and growth during the warm days of summer when in full leaf the oak king is at a high of the strength on the approach of winter and with the loss of the oak kings leaves the holly king regains power at the winter solstice so at this point the oak king is reborn as the new leaves open the cycle perpetuates both are portrayed in familiar ways with the holly king again kind of having that woodsy version of father christmas dressed in red the holly's break is in the hair and the oak king is portrayed as the fertility or godlike figure appearing as the green man or similar forest character so it's actually the second time that i heard reference to the green man this week in that archetype i was listening to a episode of mysterious universe the other day and i kind of heard this in in reference to a story they were doing so it was one of those things where i was kind of listening and passing i wasn't really actively listening i just kind of had my headphones in so when i read this and i was doing that segment if earlier i opened up my phone to try to look at the show notes because i couldn't remember which episode it was in so i was going to try and go back and look for it and see what they were talking about so when i opened up my phone it was 11 11 so 11 11 is supposed to be a number of alignment and a little wink from the universe showing that you are on the right path so i thought those estranged little synchronicity and i've had some other ones occur while i was recording this episode so who knows who knows but again i have been working with that meteor impact stone called mold of it which is supposed to create glitches in the matrix and vibrating in different realities and also synchronicities so it's kind of a sign that the mold of it is working so speaking of mold of it that's a perfect segue to introduce in um Tammy Doe who does work with the meteor impact stone called mold of it so she's going to talk to us today about the winter solstice and you may have been experiencing some different kind of symptoms sicknesses you know things like that within your body um but according to Tammy this is because there's an acceleration of energy and a a period of like death or rebirth um that is occurring around the winter solstice so let's go to the same with Tammy and hear what she has to say about it. Hey guys i'm so excited to welcome back um Tammy Doe so you may remember Tammy from some previous episodes we've talked before welcome back Tammy. Hey you Candace thank you for having me back i'm happy to be here.
Yeah i'm excited to look into the energy of the winter solstice but before we get into that um just to kind of refresh the audience if they're coming in new um who you are and a little bit about your work. Perfect well my name is Tammy Doe and uh my company is the light goddesses so i work specifically with a meteor impact stone called mold so many of those who are familiar with the crystal world uh this meteor at impact stone is from outer space to energy is very powerful so i uh have a great good selection of it and i integrated a lot with the practice that i do so rakey past that regressions are everything i do integrates the energy of mold of light and outer space stones. You do the meditations using mold by grids and uh all kinds of other different crystal grids. Right typically when you work in mold of light it takes you out of body or mold of it makes it very spacey so when you're under it your consciousness is out there in this higher consciousness and so that's when we do the work on the body as your conscious up there tapping into your higher self. Yeah it's really interesting some of the things that have come up from me during some of the meditations but aside from that and kind of looking at um you work a lot with different energy portals that are opening and around the winter solstice there's a special kind of energy uh can you tell us about that.
Yeah the winter solstice so now leading up into the winter solstice we are in the space of kind of like the birth canal uh it is a death of an old version of you so the last couple months especially leading up to now there's a lot of shedding that is occurring so the death of an old version of us uh we're going through that right now so when we think of rebirth many people think it's just one but actually there's many rebirths that we're going through so every time we shed a layer of ourself uh the next year and train there's another rebirth and so that's what's happening right now on the 21st during the equinox uh that from my understanding from my how i managed to sense piece of together the mold of heights is where we enter this birth canal the 21st comes through but i'm a three day of darkness and then after that is the birth so it and it's around the same time as jesus right so we're entering this christ consciousness the return of the light uh is how you can put us well right now lines with all the different other teachings but explain from a different point of view typically when you do a lot of purging or at least are shadow work uh cravings tends to pick up but even now as the human resonance is picking up um you know our body is trying really hard to ground so craving has been picking up quite a bit so typically when cravings come through it's important to not judge ourself you know those negative self-talk um because that is old trauma that maybe we had a process or uncollapse but it's still one when you're doing this it's important to talk to your body what it wants uh high high in carbs sugar assault those are typically symptoms when you do a lot of shadow work that your body's trying to ground so no here's another important thing uh to point out when you are grounding rather than grounding to this earth right now it's uh try grounding into the new earth because this there is this split of the old and the new earth that's happening so many of you who are star c's light workers we are aware of this ascension so try this out uh if you're feeling really heavy you're you're eating a lot ground yourself into this new earth that rather than the old earth um some other body symptoms are vivid dreams uh dreams has been triggering quite a bit this path month so if you're getting a lot of dreams uh trying writing down on a dream journal and uh these dreams actually are consistent if you start writing on a journal and you start piecing together at the pieces and so when like you talked about with grounding so how can we ground ourselves like literally is it something we do with their meditation or can we like physically go out and ground because usually we need to talk about grounding at least in my my understanding it's like literally putting your feet in the air as you kind of connect back to the earth but if we're talking about connecting to another consciousness how do we want to go about grounding to this different frequency this different dimension right um cps this new earth is of a higher frequency and uh i think more divide is this energy from the stars it's uh this energy of unconditional love so you can look on YouTube for different grounties i'd i say you can ground anywhere i will be releasing a uh grounding to the new earth meditation on my channel as well at the light goddesses now if you're trying to ground to this earth it feels really heavy even now the energy coming through it feels very heavy and very dense so that's why your body is trying to grasp to match the energy of this earth which is already too heavy and too dense so uh check out online for some new earth meditation and um follow up on my channel i'm going to be releasing in this next couple days to ground to the new earth uh opening up a mold of ice grid to help you get there on uh faster mold that's what mold of ice does it accelerates the energy thank you so much for the information so yeah i'll look forward to take advantage of that meditation that'll be that'll be awesome um thank you so much chamie for for joining me today i look forward to uh some future information about you know energy is coming out of special quarrels and dates so if anybody wants to find you working together you can check out my youtube channel at the light goddesses with the yes at the end or um yeah my instagram and uh website the light goddesses as well so i uh yeah check it out if you are familiar with mold of ice you want to learn more mold of ice or pass up regressions or rakey healing uh that's what i am here to be a service for thank you and of course i'll link all that in the description below so i'll be able to easily find you thank you thank you Candice for free energy mapping of your floor plan please check the link in the show notes to support today's podcast i'm going to learn functue.com sign up for emails leave a review and share with your family and friends
