June 6 brings us into the month of the Fire Horse. We’re in peak summer season according to the Chinese solar calendar, with Fire element at its strongest. In the Feng Shui Flying Star chart, Metal star 7 is in the center.

Summer, ruled by Fire element, is a time of light and joy, with Yang / light taking over Yin / darkness as we approach solstice time, the height of summer, in the second half of the Horse month. This is a time to be most physically active. Embrace Yang activities and eat in season to harmonize with nature, now at its brightest and most expansive.

After a fast-paced month of the Snake, we get to enjoy more of life’s little pleasures in the month of the Horse. The free-spirited Horse is one of the four “Peach Blossom” signs in Chinese Astrology, bringing sweet times and social opportunities, especially to those born in year or day of the Snake, the Ox, and the Rooster.

With Yang Fire in the heavenly frequency and the Horse, a Yang Fire sign, in the earthly frequency, this month’s very strong Fire element may be uplifting to many, while others may find it overwhelming. Balance the month’s intense Fire element with plenty of downtime. Rest before you burn out, stay hydrated, and retreat to your inner world when the outside world gets too loud.

Other animal signs that benefit from the Horse are secret friend the Sheep and allies the Tiger and the Dog. Those with these signs in their chart can expect a more collaborative month ahead, with support from friends and family. *Keep in mind that other signs in the natal chart may contribute to a more challenging month.

If you were born in a Yin Metal year or day, the Horse month is a good time to schedule personal, medical, or professional consultations as the Horse brings support from noble people and heavenly guidance. *Yin Metal years are years that end with 1, such as 1991, 2001, 2011, 2021, and so on.

Those with a Rat, the sign opposite the Horse, in their chart may find this month to be more challenging, especially when it comes to balancing personal and professional obligations. As both signs are Peach Blossom stars, this is a month to be mindful of excessive social activities. Know your limit, avoid overscheduling yourself, and recognize when it’s time to take a break.

JUNE 2022 FENG SHUI

In the Flying Star chart for June 2022 above, the numbers in green are the annual stars for the current year (good until February 3, 2023), while the numbers in blue refer to June 2022’s monthly stars (good until July 6, 2022). With hostile star 7 in the center interacting with the annual star 5 of misfortune and setting the tone for the environment, this is a month to be vigilant.

June’s most productive sectors are the Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast. Do most of your daily activities in these sectors. Keep the East, South, Southwest, and center sectors quiet – these are the sectors affected by the monthly or annual star 2 of illness and star 5 of misfortune. Reinforce any doors or windows located in the West sector, afflicted by inauspicious 7/9 combination associated with violence and fire dangers. Take extra safety precautions if you reside in the West region of a geographical area as the risk of fire is especially high this month.

*Although there may be remedies to lessen a sector’s negative energy, the best solution is to simply avoid using the sector, or keep the area as quiet as possible and respect whatever energy is visiting there, especially if you’re not familiar with your home’s natal energies as you may accidentally activate a negative natal star. If you do have to spend time in the area, keep your activities there minimal. Common sense also applies: for example, it’s a good idea to have doors and windows reinforced if they’re located in a sector affected by star 7 of robbery.

Contact me here if you’d like to identify and activate the auspicious sectors in your living or office space and subdue the influences of inauspicious stars to help optimize your family’s well-being. I also recommend getting a strategic life reading, which provides you with a blueprint for manifesting your highest potentials.

**If you have had a Feng Shui assessment done, consider getting an annual update as annual stars are strong in influence and can highly affect the well-being of the home’s occupants. A proper Feng Shui analysis always takes into account the floor plan of a home, its location, direction, external and internal environment, and the year the home was built, as well as its affinity with the residents’ natal charts.

Just like we spend time on self-care as part of our life’s self-work, there is major “home” work involved once you’ve had your home professionally Feng Shui’d. Knowing your home’s natal energies brings full awareness of how your immediate environment can positively influence your life.
