Feng Shui for YOU! | July 2021
As the energy shifts during the first week of each month, it's wise to have an awareness of what the potentials are for you and your family. That way you can prepare yourself and be ready for what might show up for you. Be intentional about how you are focusing your thoughts, processing your emotions and spending your time and energy. Create the space in your life for the gifts when they arrive. Be ready to say, "Yes!" to offers and opportunities when they come your way. Smooth out the bumps in the road or avoid them by slowing your pace, taking a detour or finding another route altogether.
Just as we adjust the feng shui in our living and working spaces to balance the ever changing energies in our environments, so too can we do the inner work to rebalance and realign our personal energy to maintain our wellbeing, whatever current energy is present in the universe.
The 8 Elements is Feng Shui for YOU! So, discover what you need to know about the energy this month and go feng shui yourself!
2021 | July 7 - August 7
Feng Shui for Everyone!
In the center of every space this month, there is a sunburst of happy energy shining down on all of The 8 Elements. This energy brings an invitation to celebrate life and all the people you love and to make preparations for everyone's future prosperity. There is the potential to be visited by angels, spirit guides and ancestors or to commune with Source or your True Self.
What YOU can do:
- Choose to be happy. And shine your light!
- Celebrate! Plan a gathering of like-minded people or a family dinner.
- Set the intention to receive messages from the angelic realm or your star family or members of your soul group.
In combination with the annual "heavenly blessings" energy, this monthly energy provides the light required to refract rainbows in cloudy skies, after a storm. And...finding pots of gold at the end of those colorful bridges from heaven to earth.
What YOU can do:
- Look into people's eyes. Really see them.
- Be a rainbow in someone's cloud. - Maya Angelou
- Reduce stress to minimize eye strain, heart problems and headaches/migraines.
Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
I've had rainbows in my clouds.
Still, when it looked like the sun wasn't going to shine anymore, God put a rainbow in the clouds.
God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us - in the dreariest and most dreaded moments - can see a possibility of hope.
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud. Do not complain. Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.

Feng Shui for Men
In the House of Men this month, there is some very auspicious energy that will be supportive of making great advances in your career and making more money.
In combination with the annual energy, it will reduce the potential for being stolen or taken from and enhance the potential for getting a promotion or receiving a raise.
What YOU can do:
- At this midway point in the year, review and revise your annual career and monthly income goals. Take into consideration who you will get to become in the process of achieving victory and success.
- 1 is the loneliest number. Make the best of this alone time by using it to get some clarity on what you desire to BE in your life.
- Ask for the raise. Or, accept the well-deserved promotion.
Work to become, not to acquire.

Feng Shui for Women
The House of Women this month is visited by a rich benefactor, who brings bountiful gifts of brilliant ideas, wise advice and much needed resources. This nobleman offers help through mentorship and hope through optimism. Be prepared to be whisked away on an impromptu date night or weekend getaway!
In combination with the annual energy, this duo can bring emotional upset and even...heartbreak. Energetically, it feels like being stabbed in the heart, like the Three of Swords in the tarot. Swords can protect. They can also do much harm.
What YOU can do:
- Pack your bags and go on a trip, even if it's just a road trip.
- Ask for what you need, expand your capacity to receive and express your genuine appreciation to the giver or provider.
- Protect your heart. Or, if you've already been hurt, let the healing begin.
Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it flow the issues of life.
Proverbs 4:23
Feng Shui for Children
In the House of Children, we have the very favorable "Sum of Ten" combination. This month, the annual abundant 8 is joined by the motherly 2. Mothers and children can have a great time, having fun together, playing games and making memories.
The visiting energy does bring the potential for upset tummies and toothaches. So, be mindful of children's nutrition and restock any supplies for home remedies you might need.
What YOU can do:
- Both annual and monthly energies are physical, so do a fun physical activity like yoga or a living room dance party, go on a hike or take a summer sports class together. Or, do something outside in nature like visiting a botanical garden, planting a garden or going on nature walks.
- If you're the mom, plan a fun day or a fun event with your kids. The 2 is a one-on-one energy, so do something fun with each of your kids individually, if possible.
- If you're the dad, help to make these mother/child days or activities possible by taking care of the other children or being right there to capture the memories with a camera.
Even though you’re growing up, you should never stop having fun.
