Feng Shui for the New Year
Happy New Year!
Here are few simple tips for bringing some wonderful New Year’s energy into your home and keep that energy alive throughout the year.
Clean Up, Clean Up
Start by cleaning under carpets and rugs on a regular basis, as this is where dust accumulates easily and energy can stagnate.
Give the underside of your bed a good vacuum to clear the space you sleep on. If you or your partner is pregnant or trying to get pregnant, however, be very ginger with cleaning under the bed until the baby is born.
If this is the case, just a light dusting should do. Once the baby is born, make sure you give it a good vacuuming.
Freshen the Paint
Consider repainting your home every two or three years. If it’s a rental, then give a good dusting and hose off the walls with clean water.
Repair When Needed
Take care of necessary minor renovations and issues when they occur. Don’t just put them off with a plan to take care of them later.
Often, such projects end up getting put off until they fester and become major issues resulting in greater time and expense to fix at a later date.
Let the Chi Flow
Open your doors and windows on a regular basis to let the sunshine and fresh Yang, or positive energy, into your house.
Fix the Doors
While you’re at it, make sure all of the doors are in good working order and make sure to grease the joints and hinges if they are making any noise or rub against each other wrong. Failing to do so may cause joint problems for someone in your family or can prevent that Yang energy from coming in smoothly.
Keep Fresh
When your house or apartment building gets run down, its energy begins to fade. That’s why most successful department stores and hotels are well-maintained and updated by their owners and property managers on a regular basis. They understand the need to keep the energy of their multi-million dollar properties alive and moving.
So, try to do the same for your own home. Make it inviting. Make it a home you would want to move into again if you had to do it all over again.
Have fun making 2012 an unforgettably positive year!
Next Steps
If you are having any trouble, you may need a professional space-clearing or personalized Feng Shui consultation to get the energy moving right again.

Chinese Numerology and Unusual Dates in Feng Shui
Note: If you are looking for a personalized Birth Date Numerology Analysis, please click here.
Rare Dates
I often receive emails from friends with very good intentions informing me of an upcoming, very rare date that supposedly has important significance in Chinese Numerology and Feng Shui.
For instance, I’ve seen these emails for 8/8/08, 1/1/11, and today, 11/11/11. We will undoubtedly get the same on 12/12/12.
I have also seen emails about how certain months will have five Saturdays, five Sundays, and five Mondays.
Of course, if you forward the email, you will be blessed with fortune.
So, is all of this true?
Differing Calendars
Let me start by reminding everyone that the Ancient Chinese did not use the Gregorian calendar (the one that says that today is 11/11/2011).
Rather, they used a lunisolar calendar sometimes called the Huang Di calendar, akin to the Hebrew and Hindu calendars (some variations might be called Lunar, Chinese, Vietnamese, or Korean calendars).
There is the very simple fact that the Ancient Chinese, the same ones that played a significant role in developing the understanding of Feng Shui and Chinese Numerology over so many centuries, could not have analyzed the Gregorian calendar.
If any of the above dates (or any future ones you receive in an email) happen to be special based upon Chinese Numerology, you can rest assured that it is by mere coincidence.
Lunar Months
Regarding the five Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays in a month, you should know that Feng Shui and Chinese Numerology have nothing to say about this simply due to the fact that every lunar month is exactly 28 days or 4 weeks.
Moving on, let’s talk about the fact that such an occurrence is really not that rare.
Not So Rare
As an example, take the fact that August in the Gregorian calendar always has 31 days and a week always has seven days. Therefore, that month will always have five Saturdays, five Sundays, and five Mondays any time that the month begins on a Saturday. Rather than occurring once every 800 or so years, this occurs about once every seven years and at most once every eleven years (leap years throw the regularity off a bit).
Real Chinese Numerology
Now I want to give you a much more practical uses of Chinese Numerology and numbers in Feng Shui.
If you are looking for a home to find success or ensure good health, certain house numbers may have such an impact.
If you are looking to find romance or keep a strong relationship with your spouse, be sure to place objects in your bedroom in pairs (two pillows, two candles, etc.)
If you are looking to determine if you and a prospective match are good for each other, you may be able to determine your compatibility based upon your birth dates.
Moreover, if you are looking to see your child’s fortune in his or her different life phases, you may be able to do so based upon their birth date and time.

Feng Shui Regarding Beds for Fertility and Pregnancy
Important Feng Shui fertility bedroom tip: Don’t move the bed of a pregnant woman nor that of a woman who is trying to get pregnant.
Don’t Bump the Bed!
Try to avoid disruptions in and around the bed.
You can hold off on running that loud vacuum under the bed for about 9 months until the baby arrives.
If you do need to clean or move things under the bed, try to do it as gently as possible.
According to Feng Shui, movements around here can disturb the life energy present in the bed that started the conception and new life.

Feng Shui for Fertility: Baby Pictures
Are you trying to conceive and want to make sure you have a happy, healthy baby?
Dream Baby Pictures
Post pictures of your ideal baby in the Creativity and Children side of your house (more about the Bagua layout of your home here).
I personally had a picture of a little baby playing the drums on this side of my home. It was called Playtime by Keith Baker.
I saw this picture way back when I was only 18 and fell in love with how cute and energetic this little baby was.
So when I found that same picture for sale at a poster sale when I was 24 years old, I had to have it.
Even though I was nowhere close to getting married nor having thoughts about having children, the picture made me smile every time I would look at it.
Many years later, when I was ready to have children, I made sure this picture was hanging in the Creativity & Children Gua of my house.
I boosted up the energy by placing it with a yellow poster border and put it in a metal frame.
Thankfully, it only took a very short amount of time for us to conceive our little boy.
I Want to Bang On the Drums All Day!
Of course, we called him our little drummer boy and our birth announcement was a picture of our son holding drumsticks.
When he was old enough to sit up and bang on those drums, his picture replaced Keith Baker’s picture.
But here’s a little warning to be careful what you wish for.
A few years have passed, but he still loves to bang on those drums, even in the early mornings and late at night.

Update:
So I received an email from Keith Baker, the photographer of the baby drumming picture, Playtime, that I fell in love with and used in my Children & Creativity Gua when trying to conceive.
Interestingly, the picture was of Keith’s son named, of all things, Jesse.
Keith: Thank you so much for emailing me and sharing your story with me. This was a wonderful surprise, thank you so much!
My second son was born last year. I had used very similar tricks that I did with the first. He’s approaching the age where he could hold some drumsticks. Now we just need to find a set for the pictures!
