Feng Shui for your Computer

By blogger on

Although feng shui principles are usually applied to the real world, your virtual environment could also benefit from less clutter. Follow these steps to desktop nirvana.

Go for a minimalist look. Many programs install start-up icons on your desktop, making it difficult to find what you really want. Reduce the clutter by removing everything from your desktop, except the stuff you need. Keep the icons for -My Computer’ or your hard drive, the Recycle Bin, the CD drive and your browser and bin everything else. You don’t need everything in plain view.

While you’re making friends with the Recycle Bin, get rid of everything else you don’t need – shareware you’ve once used, wallpaper, sound files, email. Be ruthless – as long as you don’t want it and it’s not in the Windows folder, delete it. Anything with a .tmp extension in the filename can be safely removed too.

There’s only so much clutter you can take away manually. Programs leave bits and pieces of themselves in hard-to-find places, so get a friend to help you. Once you have removed everything, run a registry scan and a complete virus scan.

Organize your start menu if you’re a Windows user. New programs invariably place short cuts for themselves in the main part of the menu – after a while you can end up with a huge, unwieldy list that’s difficult to navigate. Combat the chaos by indexing programs as you go along. Remove redundant associations. If you’re not sure, leave them.

By now your computer should be more immaculate than when you first took delivery but there are still a couple of housekeeping tasks you need to perform to get it running harmoniously. Run a registry fix about once a week and set your antivirus to do a full system scan at least once a week too. If you’re running Windows XP then enable Windows Defender to do a full scan once a day, at a time when you are not using your computer. Leave your computer switched on and connected to the Internet permanently if you have a broadband Internet connection. Set your programs to automatically download and install updates.

Make yourself a cup of tea – preferably a calming herbal brew like chamomile. While it’s steeping, run a full virus scan. As you sip your tea, try to visualize a calm scenario – a placid lake in Autumn, for example. By the time you’ve finished your tea, your chi (energy) will be fully refreshed and your computer will be ready for the last stages of its feng shui makeover.

Add the final touches to your desktop. If you’ve had the same desktop theme since you bought your computer, change it now and add a new suite of sounds. Choose something you can live with – this is important. The number of computers physically damaged by users who had installed Hal from 2001 desktops themes is inestimable.

Reboot your machine. You’re making a new beginning and this is an important gesture that separates your old, cluttered and inefficient way of working from your new energy-balanced relationship with your computer. It also gets rid of the junk your machine couldn’t delete while it was running.

How is the flying stars feng shui for 2008 then?

Let’s begin with the North and we will move in the clockwise direction.

North
The 6 heavenly white star moves north. Combining with the 4 achievement green star from period 8 to form the perfect 10.

Generally speaking, we can expect significant industrial advancement in the northern countries of this planet, in 2008.

The only problem is the clash of element between this 6 heavenly white star (metal) and the 4 achievement green star (wood) resulting in numerous accidents in the north.

Don’t get confuse over the annual stars and period stars. Annual stars changes position every year while annual stars only once in 20 years.

Northeast
The annual 4 achievement green star occupies this direction in 2008. In comparison, the energy is weaker than in 2007. Rightfully, this is an auspicious star. However, in 2008, it clashes with the 2 illness star from period 8. We will expect a wide spread of health related issue in the Northeast.

East
The 8 auspicious wealth star travels to this direction. This star boosts the energy of the 6 heavenly white star from period 8. This is the best direction to tap into the positive energy in 2008.

As the name suggests, this is a wealth star and it’s presence in the east means countries like Korea, Japan and western states of the United States of America could enjoy better economical performance.

Southeast
The annual 9 multiplying purple star travels to this direction and interact with 7 violent red star of period 8 in the Southeast.

Together with the inherent fire energy in the number 7 and 9, means that the forest fire in South East Asia may worsen again in 2008. As such, more people are expected to be affected by disease related to the respiratory system in these countries.

South
One of the worst directions for 2008 is the South. The 5 fearsome yellow star occupied this direction and interacts with that of the 3 argumentative jade star from period 8.

Those travelling to these regions need to exercise more caution as we expect unrest in countries in the South and South East Asia.

Chinese Astrology and Feng Shui 2011

By blogger on

The year 2011 is the year of Xin Mao or the Metal Rabbit which carry the Heavenly Stem of Xin or Yin Metal and the Earthly Branch of Mao or Rabbit. The first day of the Chinese Solar year (also known as Li Chun in Chinese) arrives on the 4th February 2011. However, the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year starts on the 3rd February 2011 and it is a day celebrated by all Chinese people in the world based on custom and tradition.

This year, the houses that face east or west are likely to face more challenges and adversities. This is because in 2011, the Tai Sui or Grand Duke Jupiter is at the East (E2). The situation is made worse by the unlucky star Wu Wang (also known as Five Yellow) which also flies into the east sector. This star brings misfortunes and calamities. If your door, bedroom or places that you spend a lot of time are located in the east or face east, then you are most likely to be afflicted with its negative energy. You can weaken its energy by placing metal objects in the east sector.

The west sector (W2) will be afflicted by the Sui Poh or Year Breaker which is directly opposite Tai Sui. There is also the San Sha or Three Killings which exerts its inauspicious energy in the West this year. To counter the negative effect of the San Sha, you can place live plants in the West sector.

As you can see, the east and west sectors are mostly influenced by these negative energies.

All the inauspicious energies of Tai Sui, Sui Poh, San Sha and Wu Wang are activated by breaking the ground, nailing the wall and renovation works. The negative effects of these afflictions bring setbacks, obstacles, losses (monetary and otherwise) and calamities. If possible, occupants of a property or house should avoid using these sectors (East and West). Pregnant women, infants and those who are ill or recovering from an illness are especially vulnerable to the negative energies in these sectors.

People born in the year of the Rabbit, Rooster, Rat and Horse are most likely to feel the negative effects of the Tai Sui. They can expect to face stumbling blocks and hindrances this year.

As a precaution against any misfortune that may befall those whose houses face East (E2) and sit West (W2), there should not be any house renovation works undertaken this year such ground breaking, piling, digging, nailing and knocking down walls or structures.

For those whose houses face other directions, the occupants should not undertake renovations works in the East and West sectors.

When the Chinese Solar year commences on 4th February 2011, a new round of annual stars will fly in and affect every household. There are nine of these stars which are numerical representations of the energies, good and bad, affecting the eight sectors of a house including the center. Of the nine stars, number 5 (also known as Wu Wang or Five Yellow) is the most destructive as it brings misfortunes and calamities.

The south sector is afflicted by star 2 that brings health issue or ailments. The solution is to place metal items in the sector.

The north sector is afflicted by star 3 which is associated with arguments, disputes and legal problems. The solution is to place red colored objects or a lamp in this sector.

The center of the house is afflicted by star 7 which is associated with robbery, burglary and theft. It can also cause injury due to physical attack and assault. Avoid using this sector if possible.

The southeast sector is influenced by star 6 which is associated with authority, power and status. You should spend more time in this sector if you seek such aspirations.

The southwest sector is influenced by star 4 which is associated with education and academic achievement. It is also beneficial for romance and fostering harmonious relationship. For better chance of success in your exams, study, academic pursuits or romantic endeavors, you should spend more time in this sector of your house.

The west sector is influenced by star 9 that governs happy events, celebrations, marriages, birth or promotions. The downside is that the west sector is also afflicted by San Sha and Sui Poh. Therefore, it is best not to activate it.

The northeast sector is influenced by star 1. This star brings nobility, recognition and growth.

The northwest is influenced by star 8 which is the most auspicious star as it brings wealth, career success and prosperity.
