2019 Year of the Earth Pig

Annual Forecast: Feng Shui

On Monday, February 4 at 11:16 am, the Year of the Earth Pig will officially arrive bringing new energy into each of the 9 sectors of our homes and offices. Whatever your resolutions and goals are for this year there is a sector, or a combination of sectors, that you can utilize to empower your plans and help you manifest your intentions. The best way to tap into this energy is to physically spend time in the sectors which best suit your goals – preferably by taking the actions necessary to make those dreams a reality.

Please note these sectors are determined by magnetic compass directions and notby their position relative to the main door. To find determine these directions a compass app set to magnetic North on your smart phone will do just fine. Simply take a bird’s eye view of your space and divide it up like a pie labeling each wedge or sector according to it’s compass direction as in the image below.

For those wishing to have a baby this sector could help make you more productive. It can also bring some financial gains and a boost to assets, especially if other Feng Shui factors like land forms have positive features in the Southwest. Just be conservative with using this sector and seek input from a professional if you are unsure of how to proceed.
