Each week, WSJ readers vote for their favorite home that was featured as a House of the Day. Four properties competed in the latest poll, including a Nevada lakefront home designed with a feng shui specialist and an 1800s mansion in Chicago. Watch the video above to see the results.

The contenders were:

Feng Shui, the Tuscan Way:A home on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe was built not only with water views in mind, but also positive energy.

A Romanesque Revival in Chicago:A mansion from the 1880s has been expanded and modernized, but its personality, and many original features, remain intact.

Upscale Roost in Downtown Atlanta:A former industrial space was converted into this loft-style penthouse apartment with a dramatic central skylight.

Chic Rustic in California:This split-level home, about an hours drive north of San Francisco, underwent a more than $1 million upgrade. Outside, sheep and chickens help create a country feel.

Chinese Astrology 2012 - 2013 for the Year of the Dragon

The year 2012 is the year of the Water Dragon. From the reading of the stars and element relationships in the paht chee chart, this year is going to be a transformational life-changing year! Generally, there are more goodies in store for you in the year 2012 than 2011. Its a good year to improve oneself, take calculated investment risks and to build wealth. The year 2012 holds much promise and may be a major transition in your life. Whether it turns out extremely good, or really bad, will depend on how you ride the mighty Water Dragon!

The three powerful stars present in the years chart are the Star of Aggressive Sword, the Star of the External Flower of Romance and the Star of Powerful Mentors.

The Star of Aggressive Sword brings hostility, violence and aggression. Anger will pervade, forceful words will be spoken and people will become uncompromising, especially among the top brass, patriarchal people and people in charge. Revolutions and rebellions are indicated. Harmony does not come by easily. It becomes more demanding and competitive in the corporate world. People are motivated to outperform and step on others to achieve their goals. Cure this by the Laughing Buddha to disperse the tense energy.

The presence of the Star of External Flower of Romance indicates the occurrence of infidelity, extramarital affairs and relationship distress in the year 2012. Steady long term love relationships and marriages are not spared so do not that it for granted. Hearts will be broken, feelings deeply hurt and heartaches abound if youre hit by it. Make sure you sleep facing your relationship direction based on your Kua and have Feng Shui protection in your bedroom.

For those who are seeking to reach a new career height and be successful in your profession or business will appreciate the Star of Powerful Mentors. This star brings you the good fortune of influential people giving you the support, help and recognition to propel your professional life from poor to good, good to great. Place a statue of Kwan Kung in the Northwest corner or the front part of the home to activate Mentor luck.

The Tiger, Dragon and Phoenix (a Rooster that symbolizes Phoenix) appear in the years pattern of influences. These are three of the four celestial animals of any space and the animal missing is the Tortoise. To complete this energy and achieve an ideal form school Feng Shui, its an excellent idea to add a Tortoise or Dragon Tortoise figurine in the house for good feng shui in 2012.

The 2012 Eight Character chart has every element EXCEPT Fire. This missing element rules creativity and intelligence which are vital ingredients for success in this competitive world today. We all know Feng Shui is all about balance of the energies thus its important to compensate the imbalance by introducing Fire element in your home or office. You can overcome the shortage by adding more lights, keeping them on for a longer period of time and using decorative items and upholstery that are red in color.

It's important to note that in order to enjoy the brilliant year ahead, the negative cosmic energies have to be kept under control. Build your confidence, empower your life force and fortify your inner strength with the help of spiritual practice and wealth luck and big successes will come to you naturally in 2012.

Another Feng Shui Dream House... in the Heart of Texas!

When I first visited Melody and David two years ago, they were the enthusiastic new owners of a not-too-old and rather comfortable country property that they were ready to turn into a goat dairy farm. After brainstorming with Feng Shui and design for two intensive days with them, I came back to L.A. and patiently waited for an up-date on the status of the remodel. The plan was to do a cosmetic renovation so they could move in pronto. Then life took another turn Read more to find out why...

Last week I consulted on a house built in 1943 in San Diego whose energy, albeit a bit old, was rather nice and supportive to the owners. They also shared how they intended to upgrade the place, which was indeed needed because it didnt quite fit a modern 2011 lifestyle. So, they ask for my professional opinion as Feng Shui consultant. After running an analysis we figured out that in changing the energy from 1943 to 2011 it would turn the Feng Shui of the house from one of being "good for health, relationships, and success," to one of being "bad for health, relationships, and success." So what should the owner do? Read on.

I have just returned from Dubai and of course I couldnt just pass on the opportunity to visit the most popular city in the Middle East and conduct a Feng Shui case study on it, now could I?

Most of you have probably heard about the stunning Palm Tree Islands and The World Islands that are all visible from outer space, or perhaps Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world (designed by the Chicago-based architectural firm Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill). Yes, you can see it in the picture, and no, is not that the adjacent buildings are small, it is the Burj that is really, really tall.

Well, here are some of my findings

One way or another, we have managed to survive 2012. So now what? This year is the year of the Water Snake (from February 10). Many fantasize that the Snake is not much different than the Dragon; hence the energy of this year will not be much different than last year. But this is not true at all.. read more about 2013 Yearly Forecast for the Year of the Snake

When I talk about "building-person compatibility" I refer specifically to how the energy of a building supports-- or antagonizes-- the person living or working in it. Yes, the energy of a building can in fact support you or sabotage your efforts in creating your goals. For example, I was consulting for a house in Pacific Palisades, CA yesterday and the woman living in it was a Wood person while the building itself was a Metal building. This is considered a very undesirable situation and it needed to be corrected. How do you know if a building is good for you or not? Read more on Feng Shui Houses That Are Good For You.

A few days ago I was visiting Napa Valley (for those of you not familiar with California, it is North of San Francisco and in the West area of the U.S.) to see new clients and was given the rare opportunity to do a reading on a very well known winery. As you may know, in the past 30 years the region has grown to now encompass about 500 vineyards, both big and small. So, what is that makes a wine special from Feng Shui standpoint? Read more on How You Can Feng Shui Wine.

I was out property hunting in Costa Mesa, CA last week with a client (lets call him Max) who had previously experienced living in a house for five years that we defined as bad for people (meaning health and relationship), and also bad for money (meaning success and financial prosperity). He and his wife are ready to move out from that house that caused them so many problems and buy a new one.
