Number 7 ~ Lady and Lord of the Joyous Lake

On February 4, 2011 the Feng Shui Solar or 9 Starr Chi (more traditionally known as 9 Star Ki) began. In theUniversal Life Cycle Phase, it finds the Number 7 in the Tai Chi or heart of the Bagua. This lends its presence central to the common good and creates delicious opportunities for re*invention and re*finement of not only one's world, but the world at large. It is considered a metal element and echos the Gold or Metal White Rabbit's year of influence. Let us be clear that on February 3, the Lunar Chinese New Year or as it is also known, the Spring Festival was celebrated. The 9 Starr Chi or Solar year highlights the reflective lake, creativity, the inner child and of course, it is a year of deep re*flection. 

For anyone interested in becoming a Lady or Lord of the Joyous Lake, this series is dedicated to making its timeless wisdom accessible. I re*call one of my early (1995) Feng Shui workshop's premise to not only re*solve one's intentions but to make your very own predictions for an amazing future. This comes under the Vision Quest Dream book or board series. For more information on this powerful project, please see past my archived articles.  It is important to re*mind the reader that supporting each energy field is a numerical, color palette, direction of flow, geometric symbolism, one of five elements, iconic value, IChing trigram and unseen essence.   

In the science and art of Feng Shui, the five elements enjoy a Productive and a Controlling cycle of energies, each confluent upon one another. In the productive cycle, Metal condenses water thus creating it. In the Controlling cycle, it chops or reduces wood. The latter is meant to balance unbridled or too much growth with spiritual insights and intuition. In the productive cycle, metal contains water preventing it to flow out and away from its true course. There fore being cut off from its re*sourcefulness. Too little water and one is not nourished where rigidity of mind and heart begins to set in. Flowing emotions become stagnant blocking one's expression. Metal s water's vessel to be re*freshed & re*filled.

Since water is essential to your life, introduce a water fountain or any water feature to your home or work space. Although you can wear the color of black and feel its watery influence, in this Metal Golden Rabbit year, consider opting for the color of blue. You can also adorn your wrists and necklines with the Lapis Lazuli stone. This was the semi-precious gem in Kin gSoloman's famous ring of wisdom. Plus, the Egyptians considered Lapus the stone of sacred secrets and this stone is inlaid in King Tutankhamun's death mask overlaying his head & shoulders. The following is list of its attributes:

THE HEALING ENERGY OF LAPIS LAZULI

• Heavenly stone harmonizing relationships

• Spiritual development

• Strengthens body and mind connection

• Assist with positive manifestations

• Connected with the throat chakra which is the seat of communication

• Mental Clarity

• Illumination, Tranquility or Vitality

• Stone of total awareness

• Improves immune system

• Upgrades one's process of reasoning

• Expands ability to organize ordinary responsibilities

• Sacred Knowledge

As is my custom with each of my clients, I intuit a gemstone for them to wear. For one of male clients of 2007, he was asked to introduce Lapus Lazuli into his life. The very next day, he attended a Gem show with his family. The door prize was a stunning man's Lapus Lazuli ring from Afghanistan and yep, he won! Lapus was already seeking him.

Today, re*member to re*fine and predict your dreams and wear BLUE.  Next week's~the number 7's lucky essence.
