July 7 takes us into the month of the Sheep in the Chinese calendar. The monthly stars duplicates the annual stars, amplifying the effects of the year’s Feng Shui energy.

In the Feng Shui chart for the year of the Dog, annual star 9 “flies” to the center, represented by the trigram Fire. These “flying stars” in Feng Shui represent elemental energies in the environment – we expected 2018 to be dominated by Fire and Earth related issues as the year of the Earth Dog is predominantly heavy in Earth element.

Stars 2 (associated with illness) and 5 (associated with misfortune) are the the most negative stars in Feng Shui, and this year they “fly” to the West and North, respectively. The North sector of your home is the year’s most sensitive area and should be kept as quiet as possible, especially this month as it’s also visited by the monthly 5. As both stars are of Earth element, Metal is used as a Feng Shui remedy – you can learn more about Metal cures here.

The year’s most auspicious sectors are those visited by annual stars 8, 9, and 1, which are Southeast, center, and Northwest. These sectors are even more auspicious this month with the monthly stars mirroring the annual stars. Do your work in the Southeast where double star 8 visit for prosperity luck, or the Northwest for creativity and wisdom. If the center of your home is an open area, use it often for inspiration and spirituality.

The South is blessed this year with star 4 of romance – if your main door or bedroom is here, you can expect a social, joyful month. Students occupying a room with star 4 enjoy academic excellence this year.

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.
