Feng Shui This | Tropical Storm 4

Hurricane Predictions Posted by 

Prediction time!

Ok, it’s a Pacific storm…headed toward Japan.  On Thursday I expect it to grow a bit, very possibly reaching hurricane strength.

*****
 NOTES ADDED 6-18—Tuesday
japan projected LEEPI
Now the storm has a name…”LEEPI”.   My timeline doesn’t match the timeline at Weather Underground, so we’ll have to see how it comes out.
I wonder if I’m off due to time differences between here and Japan?  More study ahead!
***************************************************
Back to Original Post:

I’m expecting the storm to hit Japan hardest on the morning of the 21st.   There will be rains long before that, but that morning it’ll rain cats and dogs!

japanAfter it bounces off Tokyo it will head east, where it will dissolve about 300 miles from Japan.

 

Not a biggie, but a serious storm!  Lets see what happens.

Caesar and Bear Pet owners know that there may come a time when we have a choice to make.  Do we let nature take its course, or do we euthanize?  If your furry friend is suffering and his quality of life is gone, if he can’t play or follow you around anymore, it’s time to let him go with love and gratitude.   Letting them go teaches us to trust God, knowing that their spirits will be waiting for us when we also must leave.  Love that strong never dies.  I fully expect to see all my pets again.

But, what about people?  When they’re suffering and their lives are miserable, should we do the same for them?  No.  Our duty to them is to make things as comfortable as possible and allow them to die on their own, without rushing the process.

Why the difference? It’s actually very simple.  Animals come here to teach.   They have no need of higher, spiritual lessons.   People are here to learn.    Every minute on this earth serves a purpose.  Before we arrived on this planet, we made a life plan.

My Life in the Retirement  Community

by Zhangyunzhao     

My youth is gone, my heart is still.

When I moved to the retirement community, I was like a bird…flying all my life and returning to my original nest.

Peace is flowing through the gardens.

Green willows are the walls; its reflection mirrored in the creek.

In the early morning, singing birds drag me out of my dreams.   I began my joyful day.

I take a slow walk under willow trees and exercise by the river… Breezes blow away my loneliness.

Morning activities, Yangko dancing and singing are infused with the symphony of dawn.

Cooking smoke curls upwards three times a day during holidays, our performances are lively, recalling youthful spirit.

Annual rings of life are fading with happiness.

I often observe weeping willows’ caressing the river the branches like hands playing the strings of my heart.

Sometimes while leaning against a railing I gaze into the distance.

The wide screen of blue sky has wiped away memories of trials and tribulations.

White clouds drift.

Silent water flows.

Buildings are trees lifting the sky.

Red sunshine boldly splashes from the treetops to my desk.

How quiet and peaceful my life is!

Even though the mirror says my years are fading, I can see the gentle and quiet spirit of the lily.

The past few days/months/years the Obama administration has had multiple and extremely concerning secrets come to light.

Remember in 2010 when the Presidential Seal fell off the podium as Obama was talking?  Kinda makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Well, it’s period 8 (2004-2024)…and secrets are being uncovered.

Some of Obama’s  ”secrets” (if proven true) are not only impeachable offenses, but could even result in jail time…even for him.   The President is NOT above the law…no matter what he thinks.

Wen Wan Gua style of reading the IChing involves determining the element, the timeliness (strength) and the general “personality” of each line, then figuring out how they relate to each other… and by that, determining the answer to the question.

I asked the IChing, “Will Obama be Impeached?”

Earth on Marsh

Subject Line: Officer/Ghost (Line 2)
Object Line: Wife/Wealth (Line 5)

Hour: Bing Xu (Yang Fire Dog)
Day: Xin Si (Yin Metal Snake)
Month: Ding Si (Yin Fire Snake)
Year: Gui Si (Yin Water Snake)

_______ O/G Mao / Rabbit(7) *Bl. Tortoise*
___X___ Par Si / Snake(4) -> Off Yin / Tiger(7) *Wh. Tiger*

****************

The USA is represented by the Subject.  Officer/Ghost is Obama, so both the USA and Obama are AT the subject…This does not mean they are the same.   Basically, he’s sitting in charge of the country.   The Object represents the People.

Because the Object is totally vanishing and clashed by day, month and hour, there is NO SUPPORT for Officer/Ghost from the people.

The Object being Water, which normally would support the Officer/Ghost (Wood), also shows that once there was support, but not anymore.

The timing is the clue.  

If you look at the moving line, as a Parents line; it represents the Constitution. It’s a contract with the People, a Tiger…strong and moving to support itself. (The fire is going to the woods to get more wood and feed itself.).   As it grows stronger, it hurts the Officer/Ghost…and also feeds off it.

Isn’t it interesting that this President has said that he would do more if it weren’t for the constraints put on him by the Constitution?  He doesn’t appear to be a fan.  ;-)

So, Officer/Ghost is fading and weak.   Object – Wife/Wealth (which in his perfect world would be supporting him) is totally vanishing and clashed away by the day, month and year.    Moving Fire (Parents at yao 1) next to Wood (Officer/Ghost Obama at yao 2)…simply sets fire to the Wood, which in turn strengthens the Brothers lines.  So we have a weakened Officer/Ghost and strengthened Brothers lines…which are already VERY strong at day, month and year.

Water is needed to support the Officer/Ghost and there is NONE.

He’s being buried under accusations of abuse of power by Congress and the House of Representatives. Even his own party is turning against him since they found out that the IRS had been investigating so many people simply because of their political beliefs…including the Press, assorted elected Officials, and even charities! 

See the way Si Fire has a direct path up to burn the Mao Wood?  It’s making Brothers Earth stronger…then going past the useless, totally vanishing and clashed Hai Water and on up to You Metal, which can’t do much for Hai Water, since at this point I’m not sure there’s anything left to help…Hai seems to be dead on arrival…but the You Metal – Offspring, can throw some metal at the Officer/Ghost Obama…even if from a distance!    Or, if  you want to get poetic:

Could it be that the Offspring of America, whom he refused to defend in Bengazi, will take him down from their graves?

The Bird represents the Press.  A Free Press is essential to the freedom of any country and considered “nearly untouchable” to our Founding Fathers.  

This week the Press have found out that their phones were tapped in the Press Room at the White House and the Justice Department taped hundreds of phone calls by Press Members!   They will not continue to cover for Obama.  

After the moving line arrives in the future hexagram, it becomes Offspring Yin. Looks to me like it’s showing that in the present, the Constitution is taking Obama down and in the future, the Constitution is more powerful than Obama.

Wu and Yin combine in June, so I believe that in June even more details about Constitutional issues will come out…and the Constitution will prevail.  

Bottom line:  He’s outta here, and leaving a mess for Americans to clean up.

Holy Cow!  The 2 annual star has arrived at my front door and she’s been showing her stuff!  I’ve  not been this sick in years!   My silly mistake; I gave away two of my largest calabashes to a client and now I’m paying the price.  No worries, though.  I’ll get more painted and placed.   This has really reminded me how strong the annual stars are.   We’ll be using the back door as much as possible this year!

Do you have your calabash in place?  This year be sure you have one in the southwest.

He’s not so sure about a new treat!  But it doesn’t take long for both of them to decide that this is good stuff.  Although, apparently it may be a little “tart”.

 

Proof it's good...orange tongue.

Little Blue Spring Flower

Today, while researching Monticello, I found this adorable little quote from one of Thomas Jefferson’s little granddaughters.  It made me smile.

“Then, when spring returned, how eagerly we watched the first appearance of the shoots above ground. What joy it was for one of us to discover the tender green breaking through the mould, and run to grandpapa to announce, that we really believed Marcus Aurelius was coming up, or the Queen of Amazons was above ground . . . . Then when the flowers were in bloom, and we were in ecstasies over the rich purple and crimson, or pure white, or delicate lilac, or pale yellow of the blossoms, how he would sympathize in our admiration, or discuss with my mother and elder sister new groupings and combinations and contrasts. Oh, these were happy moments for us and for him!”

Springtime in Lexington

Years ago I lived in Anchorage, Alaska.  Up there “Spring Fever” is common, and usually known as “Cabin Fever”.

People manage to survive the whole winter in their little cabins, while outside is dark and cold.  Then one day the sun shines, the snow and ice start melting, water runs off the roof and it looks like spring is finally here!

Problem is, a few days later the weather turns and back they go to their cabins, angry at the weather change, tired of being cooped up all winter, and basically loaded for bear.  Sometimes they get lucky and a bear shows up, but more often than not, they just end up taking out their frustrations on the other poor slob who’s been confined to a  stinky (by now), tiny (no matter the size), torture chamber being run by Mother Nature and Beelzebub.

Sometimes only one is left by the time Spring arrives, sometimes neither.   Remember this and when things at your cabin get testy, calm the beast within and without by shopping.  I suggest property shopping.

Let me help you find your perfect getaway in Horse Country, Lexington, Kentucky.  This is the home of fast horses, and friendly people, with room for more.

My crocus have already bloomed and more bulbs are getting ready to open.  Spring may not be official until the 20th of March, but I measure spring in Kentucky by how many flowers are blooming.

Believe it…even though it snowed this morning, spring is still  here in Lexington.  My flowers are sure of it.

Crocus Think it’s Spring!

Feng Shui This | Year of the Water Snake

Feng Shui Kentucky Real Estate Posted by 

The Solar Chinese  New Year is upon us.  This is the day the energy changes.  We’re leaving a yang water dragon year sitting on earth and moving into a yin water snake year sitting on fire.

What’s the difference?  The yang water dragon sitting on earth symbolizes very strong water on earth.

Looking back 60 years to 1952 and early 1953, we’ll find that last yang water dragon sitting on earth year brought massive flooding and took thousands of lives in the UK, the Netherlands, Holland and Belgium.  Just before the new year began in February, on January 31st, 1953, the floods came.  Austria suffered avalanche deaths of over 300 in January 1953.  The tail of the water dragon left horrific water damage.

In 2012 we saw problems with the east coast of the US with hurricane Sandy.  Lots of floods, land and earth related endeavors were being violently washed away.

This year, February 2013 to February 2014, is yin water on fire.  The Chinese call this snake the “black” snake.  From growing up on a farm, I know that black snakes are non poisonous, rat and mouse eaters.  They help the farmer and protect the grain bins.  Black snakes are useful creatures, and not dangerous to people.  They are to be treasured and protected.

This year the water snake is on top of fire.  We need to remember that water sitting on fire may boil.  Will the good snake be well and truly cooked?  Or will he, like the smart creature he is, go to ground?  Let’s look at the history of the water snake year that began in February 1953 and ended in February 1954.

February 1953 to February 1954, water snake on fire.  That year we had revolutions.  Germans in east Berlin protested the Communists and were beat down by tanks.  Khrushchev is selected (not elected) First Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party.

There was a major tornado outbreak in the US in June of 1953.  Hurricanes killed over 1000 people in southeast Asia.  Rain and landslides in Japan killed over 2500 people.   Could these storms represent steam coming off a boiling snake?

What about politically?  Is a gentle revolution coming?  Will the fires of discontent be controlled without destroying the discontented?  God only knows.  But, I do not expect the powers that be will give up without a fight.
