Feng Shui for YOU! | October 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 | October 8 – November 6
Trick or Treat?
This month the visiting monthly energy is the same as the visiting annual energy in each direction. This means the energy is doubled for everyone, all of The 8 Elements. Those with favorable or auspicious energy will enjoy double the blessings and those with more challenging or inauspicious energy will have double the trouble.
This is why we feng shui, not just our living and working environments, but our own personal energy and life. So, if you're in for a treat, you know how to take full advantage of the energy. And if you're in for a trick, you know how to prepare for and navigate through the troubled waters.

Feng Shui for Everyone!
This month the Hard Metal energy brings grief...and hope. And the bridge connecting these two emotions is gratitude. Hard Metal energy is helpful and generous and needs genuine and heartfelt expressions of appreciation to continue giving with a happy heart.
What YOU can do:
- Be optimistic.
- Practice gratitude daily.
- Actively choose better feeling thoughts.
- Express your appreciation to the helpful people in your life.
The double Hard Metal energy can represent a face off or power struggle, a butting of heads in an effort to gain control and dominate. It can also accentuate the hard headed and hard hearted in contrast to the open minded and open hearted approach to life during this critical time in human history. In addition, this compounding energy can affect our health with increased headaches and migraines, fatigue and decreased energy, stress and anxiety, mental health challenges and heart problems.
What YOU can do:
- Don't engage the bullies and yet do NOT consent to anything that violates your values and principles, human rights and personal freedom. Whatever the tyrannical threatened "deadline", let the clock run out. Their time is almost up!
- Work on your mental and heart health by finding ways to reduce stress like deep breathing and meditation, Reiki and sound therapy. Invest in a singing bowl. Get some apps on your phone you can access with a few taps.
- Clear your Heart Wall with The Emotion Code. Get the free app and read the book. Or, find a certified practitioner.
- Spend time near water or take long showers or leisurely baths.
In all things it is better to hope than to despair.

Feng Shui for Men
In the House of Men this month, there are opportunities to win money! If you play the lotto, place your ticket in the NW this month. If not, set an intention for what you'd like to win - someone's heart, a promotion or a prize.
The double yin metal energy brings the cutting energy of two sharp knives. It can initiate a sudden death match or street fight. Also, the probability of being affected by respiratory disease, immune deficiencies and dental infections is high.
What YOU can do:
- Enter a competition you want to win.
- Be observant and vigilant about your surroundings.
- Be proactive. Cut things out of your life that you don't need or want anymore before they are taken from you.
- Practice the Wim Hof Method (breathing exercises, cold exposure and meditation)
- Wear light blue.
The cold is a noble force. After a cold shower in the morning you feel much more centered during the rest of your day. Try it out and see what it does for you.

Feng Shui for Women
In the House of Women this month, emotions rage, family dramas escalate and health crisis accelerate. Reach out, connect with people you know love you and ask for what you need, even if it's just some talk time, a hug or an encouraging word.
The intensity of the stuck and stagnant energy, stiffness or pain in the neck, doubles down, causing excruciating suffering, sore throats, closed throat chakras and lost voices. Emotions that tend to get stored in the throat and liver (anger, resentment and rage) and the gallbladder (frustration and bitterness) show up first as whining and then as chronic complaints. Because emotions are energy in motion, they need to be processed and released before they get trapped in the throat or stored in a vital organ and begin to manifest dis-ease physically in the body.
What YOU can do:
- Wear orange, pumpkin, coral, salmon and grapefruit colors.
- Clear your stored, trapped and inherited emotions with The Emotion Code or Reiki energy clearing and healing.
- Express your feelings verbally or vocally through speaking up, talking with friends, singing, repeating mantras, praying out loud, even crying.
- Take the time to process and release your feelings.
- Ask for help.
Intention is a powerful form of thought-energy. It is possible to release trapped emotions using the power of your intention alone.

Feng Shui for Children
In the House of Children this month, there is great potential for them to receive an abundance of opportunities - scholarships, apprenticeships and internships. Encourage them to say, "Yes!". New opportunities will expand their horizons, get them out of their comfort zones and provide different and valuable perspectives.
The double infinite wealth energy in the West combines the self-knowledge and personal development energy with the creativity of the brilliant speaker, animated storyteller and inspiring teacher. There is a wealth of knowledge ready to be learned. Work together to create ways for your children to know what they need to know and become who they desire to be.
What YOU can do:
- Ask your children to make a list of their goals, dreams and desires.
- Read books with them about their interests.
- Facilitate their study of subjects they will need to learn and master to achieve their goals by hiring a math/science tutor or art/music teacher, etc.
- Download free apps or sign them up for an online class to further their education.
- Set up a study nook in your home or their bedroom for quiet reading, daily learning and spiritual practices.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
