     As a family of feng shui masters, we are often asked how we determine the feng shui adjustments that will bring more harmony into your life. Each client’s feng shui recommendations depend on the home’s layout and orientation. Based on the year the house was built or last remodeled, the Flying Nine Star Chart forecasts potential energetic situations that may occur in different parts of the house. For example, your Nine Star Chart might forecast that the middle-age man sleeping in the northwest bedroom is prone to respiratory ailments. With this knowledge, feng shui adjustments can be recommended to modify imbalanced energy in your environment, offsetting this potential problem and activating positive energy to ensure good health. 

Q: How beneficial will Guide to a Harmonious 2009 be to the reader?

A: The Liu Feng Shui Guide to a Harmonious 2009 is like having your own personal tour guide to take you through the new year. Life is a journey and each year is a new destination. Just as you would plan a vacation, you can plan your life. Find the best places to live your life, how to get there, what to do, what the weather is like, what to wear, and how much you will spend.

Guide to a Harmonious 2009 is like a map of the new year, providing economic, political, and weather forecasts so that you know what is going on all over the world. This helps you make better decisions when planning your life. To illustrate this, many of my clients in 2008 (especially those born in the year of the Rat and Horse going through their year of challenge) received a “heads up” on the instability of the stock market from our 2008 forecasts and avoided investing. I received many calls thanking me for this forewarning as it saved them great financial loss.

The home and office section alerts you to the energies in your personal environment. You will 

know if your front door brings opportunities, or if you need to be aware of troublemakers in your office. A range of feng shui adjustments is provided to activate the positive energies for achievement, successful relationships, and good health, while neutralizing the negative energies.

In the zodiac forecasts, you will preview what the new year has on store for you personally. Good guidelines allow you to enjoy your life and avoid unexpected expenses and setbacks. You can focus your energy on reaching your goals, rather than wasting time and resources fixing problems.

Q: Do you think we need forecasts today more than ever?

A: Yes, life is more complicated these days than it was in the past. In this information age with the internet highway, you literally have the world in the palm of your hand. The whole world becomes your home. 

Whatever happens here in the United States resonates on the other side of the globe, just as what happens there will affect us here. We are all connected. The internet allows the world to see what is going everywhere all the time. The world now moves at a much faster pace and without foresight - like a racecar that speeds along blindly - unexpected bumps in the road can be devastating.

Forecasts allow you to prepare, survive, and excel. In martial arts, if you are prepared for a blow, you know how to avoid or defend against it and win. On the other hand, when you are completely unprepared for an attack, you will suffer. In any sport or competition, the winner is always the one who is one step ahead.
