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?

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.
