I love this time of year, especially all of the decorations all over people’s homes but is can these bright red, green, gold and many other colours have an effect from a Feng Shui point of view? The simple answer is yes, it can have a huge effect if the decorations are not placed in the right or wrong area! Please read below for a more detailed synopsis of the Feng Shui effects of tinsel, the Christmas tree, ... continue reading

Can you believe that we have been given this amazing new powerful tool which is our new website and we got it wrong… The majority of the Chinese 12 animal predictions that were posted last week were published from old summary drafts and were not updated. We published the original drafts from eight weeks ago when we first started researching and writing the 2013 animals which gives you an idea of how long it takes us to prepare them. Anyway, they have all been uploaded again and please check your animal again as there are many changes. Our apologies for any inconvenience that this may have ... continue reading

This is fantastic news and a long time coming. Those who are good at their profession have nothing to fear, this really is good news. There are many hundreds of websites and individuals claiming to cure every misfortune under the sun and I feel they will maybe have to look at a new career or train to be more proficient.I come across so many people every year who have been ripped off by ruthless charlatans who hide behind the most professional looking websites and their credentials look very impressive but they actually cause more harm than good and often leave an already vulnerable ... continue reading

Are you prepared for 2025 - The year of the Yin Wood Snake?   With gale-force winds battering the UK over the next few days you should take down any exterior wind chimes and any other objects that could cause you harm. Too much movement (energy) from wind chimes causes excessive negative qi (sha qi) and can cause you many problems especially if they are located in the south or northwest of your home or office so it is worth taking them down until the high winds pass.You don’t have to remove the chimes every time (this is the first ... continue reading

This time of year is extremely busy with Chinese New Year and this year is no exception. We receive so many emails each day and we reply to as many as humanly possible, however, sometimes we receive emails that read like war and peace and to be honest they can take hours to reply to and we do not have the resource for this.If you need to email please keep it short and please appreciate we cannot answer in-depth questions, you can also post on this blog as this I can sometimes answer wherever I am in the world if I am not too busy.Orders are also taking a little longer but are still ... continue reading

Last week was a nightmare for us with computers; we suffered a hard disk crash and lost 4 weeks of emails and some data.January 2004 was the last time we had a computer hard drive crash and that was very painful as we never had an effective back-up in place and lost many months of work. Friday 31st August our hard drive again decided to die and we lost almost four weeks of emails and work which wasn’t as bad but still not good.It is now Monday (10 days later) and we are just about back to normal, it was more of a problem for poor Jo than me, but of course that indirectly affects me so ... continue reading

An impressive meteor shower (aka Shooting Stars) will be seen over the UK this weekend, if the clouds stay away and tonight (12-13th August 2007) will be the most striking because it will be a new moon and we should see a meteor every 45 seconds and possibly there could be much more than that. Unfortunately the north of the country and Scotland may not be as good, as there are heavy clouds and rain forecast although if you are patient you should still see an exciting performance.Try and drive out of town as artificial street and home/business lighting will weaken the event so a lay-by ... continue reading

As I was driving up to the west Midlands (UK) yesterday I was trying to think of something interesting to write for the blog, it is actually quite hard to do sometimes. I was revisiting an old client who has just bought an old barn in the middle of nowhere to covert into a home and business, wow, when I arrived it was breathtaking, the views were spectacular and the barn which is around 3000 square feet with two acres of land has so much potential along with hundreds of ceiling and wall beams, all in all in my eyes it was perfect and from a Feng Shui point of view also pretty good. It is ... continue reading
