Basic Outline:
1. Each room will be “diagnosed” and a “cure” provided. There is no particular order, mainly because I don’t think that way.
2. Overall evaluation as a whole
Room 1. Living Room. The first room looks like a living room and is dominated by the color gold/yellow. This is an indication that this room would be best service to create ideas, do creative business (vs. just billing paying for example) and talk with and to inspiring people.
One should avoid eating in this room and it will lend itself to overindulging, particularly of sweets. Having tea(s) or coffee would be fine, particularly medicinal ones. It is NOT conducive to reflection, meditation or anything of a quiet nature. The room’s core energy is active and it would be both difficult to be calm and one would be swimming up stream, so to speak.
It is an Earth room. The Earth element is suited for problem solving creativity but not innovation. One may find themselves singing in this room more than others, or carrying on internal dialogues. The energy is designed to be very active. Having said that, the way it is situated, the energy is blocked.
The “diagnosis” of this room is blockage of chi. Earth has a circular energy and the design of the couch/chair/desk is an attempt to circulate this energy naturally. However, the clutter is stopping it.
In addition to the blockage, there is a stagnation of chi and to a degree, blood. This is metaphorical obviously but can also be reflective of one’s chemistry. To review, men (or yang energy) are creatures of chi and women (or yin energy) are creatures of blood.
Looking at a room like this, one can surmise that blood stagnation related obviously to one’s cycle would be likely. A trend toward anemia or at least low blood and thus, low energy would also be commonplace. Moving the couch closer to the window and up against the wall, the chair in the opposite corner and angled and the desk looking out toward the window (if possible) is much more therapeutic. It will assist the physical, you will be more productive and the room will have a much different feel.
There is also a dark quality to the room, despite the light color of the wall paint. Part of it is that the curtains are closed, as it may be too bright (conserve energy and co$t and other practical reasons), but allowing more sunlight in would be most helpful. Even just a little more, particularly when you are working.
The Wood energy is piercing the Earth. As such, dietary, vision, joint and digestive issues would need to be guarded against. Particularly. . . . stabbing or sharp pains with digestion, injuries or issues related to tendons and ligaments, problems with vision (both physical and “psychological,” with the latter being characterized by statements such as “I cannot SEE where I am headed.” Or “The future is cloudy” etc.)
The element that would serve as a buffer and transition point is Fire and there are no traces of fire to any degree. This leads to the topic of motivation; that is, one would find it increasingly more difficult to get moving, despite having hobbies or activities that interest them.
The treatments for this room:
1- Remove some of the furniture. Sell it, give it away or chop it for firewood. Open the curtains to allow some light, some fire.
2. Add some color red to the room, be it a red candle, red throw rug, blanket etc. It should NOT be the dominant color but must have a place. Think about 20% or so.
3. Be diligent in keeping things orderly and just as important, moving. Having a fan, wind chime or small water fountain would be ideal.
This room is reflective of the Red Bird. The Red Bird is newness, creation, east, dreams or things to strive for, desired goals, objects, places (like I want to go on a vacation to Fiji or something akin to this). The Red Bird must move (exercised if you will). Movement also implies an abundance of new ideas. . .out with the old, in with the new.
Circles and rounded irregular shapes would also be ideal. Ovals for example. Painting, designs, rugs etc., of an off-round nature would be helpful.
There is a cord or lead or something black that looks like a snake coming into the picture. This is highly symbolic. It is representative of a person or situation . . . probably one individual (vs. group or organization. . . or store owners who is willingly or unwilling, knowingly or unknowingly, holding you back. You are wanting to change and they are wanting the status quo. For example, an employer who wants to keep you in the same job and not have you break the barriers. A competitor who wants you in 2nd place, the “way it always is.” It is mostly likely outside their consciousness but will eventually lead to a major change for you (new job, different race events etc.). The time frame is about 6 months. Max of 12. No more. This is destiny and cannot be avoided, as it is his/her issue, not yours. Just like the direction is the Red Bird, you are the Bird and it is the nature of the bird to fly.
#2. The picture of the outside/patio.
This is another example of Wood piercing Earth. The theme continues. Since you probably have little input in this area, minimal changes can be made. Keeping water outside in some form will help. Also, keeping a coin (could be a penny) outside in this area will help as well. IF a home is what you desire, it will find you by Christmas. If it is not what you desire, the energy will transmute into money or gifts.
The fact that the flowers appear to be red is a very good sign. It will offset the intensity of Wood and the monotony of Earth, creating a balance of the two. This is a great area for future preparation, personal growth and that which you can take action on. It would not be the greatest for inspiration, dreaming or writing something creative like poetry.
#3. The kitchen. The theme continues here in part 3.
Firstly, note the appearance of the “snake.” This is a reinforcement of the prior prediction. it is inevitable and though it may or may not be emotionally difficult, would be EXTREMELY advantageous for you to say the very least. The leash is off and the tiger will roam free.
Freedom is a power word for you. Based on this, it is something that is desired but not present. . . yet. Or at least not to the degree that you desire. The presence of the bikes in the area of the Green Dragon is proof of this. Bikes, the first sign of the element Metal, are indicative of both intellect and movement. One would say that you are not being challenged intellectually in many areas of your life. you are very intelligent and like a muscle, this needs to be exercised.
You are taking a vice president approach when you are the leader of the pack. Second fiddle is not your Tao. Actually, being in an orchestra is not your Tao either. You tend toward a solo act or at worse, small group(s) and those people and situations that both support and appreciate your solo career will be your greatest sources of happiness, inspiration and happiness. And happiness. Did I mention happiness?! They will trigger the inner, best version of you and over time, you will not recognize you. Nor will others. Some will not like this and try their best to maintain status quo, consciously or otherwise. Some will smile the biggest smile because on many levels, they/we have been waiting for THIS you. This is by no meaning implying that any other version was anything less than the perfect you for that time. . . It means that times are changing and you are changing with them. In fact, you are leading a change.
Congestion is present here too and thus the liver would have a tendency toward this issue. Frustration, depression and/or anger would be the end result. The Dragon is being caged and this is unacceptable.
The cures are simple. Organize and remove clutter. Add some (or at least one plant, particularly something red). If you choose to keep the bikes where they are, have them facing the door. Right now, they are in conflict. One would say that there is a part of you that wants to ride or do events and another part does not. This is causing blockage and some inner turmoil.
Remove as many things as possible that are mirrors, mirror like or reflect. These should be placed in the living area. (In fact, place a mirror under your check book and bank statements.)
As you can see, there is a common thread. . . A lot of energy. . . a lot of energy being blocked.
#4 The bedroom. This the area of the White Tiger.
The “diagnosis” would be that this person has a lot of thoughts, some organized, some not. . . a lot of ideas, some organized, some not. . . and it is not being maximized or utilized properly. In terms of physics, this is the ultimate example of potential energy.
One would say that insomnia and/or sleep disturbance is commonplace. If this is overcome, light/less than refreshing sleeps are more common.
Here yin should dominate. Purple, soft metallic frames, black and white photos etc., would be helpful. A soft candle or light would be ideal. If possible, cover the window with a darker (purple or dark blue) curtain.
The light is shining in but going to an empty space. The symbolism here is strong and as such, use it to your advantage. Place an image either of you or how you want to be. . .ex/ the soaring eagle, the phoenix rising, the butterfly from the cocoon etc.. . and let the yang sun light this up. Throw the spotlight on you. You have been in the shadows too long or at least not in the direct sun. Your energy will soar and your Spirit will jump for joy.
The wooden dresser should be covered with a cloth, preferably light blue or a shade that matches. Lighter is better vs. dark.
Place a bowl of water on this as well. Peaceful, inspirational dreams will come to you regularly and you will also experience the deepest sleeps you have had in years.
A status of Kwan Yin, Jesus, Buddha or ____________ would also be great here. This is a sacred place and thus, treat it so. It is your “holy” place in your home. A Taoist alter, complete with incense, red carnations and fruit would also be great. It need not be large, nor expensive. It just need to be both YOU and sacred. Bless it and it will become that.
Have nothing stored or hidden under the bed. Sacred places have no secrets. This will be very freeing to you over time. Unlike the bowl of water (which will have an immediate if not instant impact) will will slowly wash over you. You already are comfortable in your skin. You will become even more so.
Overall. . .
1- Too much congestion and blockages. This diagnosis is Liver Qi Yu or liver energy stagnation.
2 – Major Earth dominance at the expense of all others. Very little fire, metal or water is present.
3 – Lots of Yin, not so much Yang. One would have a hard time getting moving, getting started. Inertia would not be your best friend. Being consistent would be a challenge.
4.- MAJOR change in the next 6 months. 12 at the most. It is destiny and cannot be avoided. Though it may evoke anxiety, it is absolutely the very best thing that will happen to you. It is like having to cross over cracked glass. . .to get the willing lottery ticket. It you are patient, pick your spots, continuously move, the glass will not touch you.
