Everybody is talking about Period 9 lately so get ready for a big change on February 4th, 2024. We’re moving from Period 8 to Period 9 in Feng Shui, and it’s a big deal. This shift brings in new vibes and energies that could affect everything from your luck to your home’s atmosphere.

Understanding the Basics:
In Feng Shui, we split time into chunks called “periods.” Think of them like chapters in a book. Period 9 is the latest chapter, and it lasts for 20 years. Each period has its own special qualities, like different flavors of energy.

In Period 8 which ended in 2023, was governed by the earth element that represents stability, security, nourishment, and grounding taking center stage. This element is intertwined with concepts of health, wealth, family, and education.

What Period 9 Brings:
Period 9 is all about the number 9. It’s like the star of the show, bringing in good stuff like fame, fortune, and fresh chances. It brings innovation, transformation, growth, and a sense of excitement. It will also present various opportunities, including advancements in technology, societal shifts, and spiritual awakenings. The number 8, which used to be a big deal for wealth, starts losing its mojo in Period 9.

The Fire of Change:
In Period 9, we’re under the influence of the Li Trigram, which is all about fire. That means things might heat up with new ideas and tech advancements. But fire can be a bit wild, so expect some ups and downs.

What You Can Do:
As we move into Period 9, your home’s Feng Shui needs an update. Clear out the clutter, rearrange things, and bring in some fresh energy. It’s like giving your home a lucky makeover.

As example, in Period 9, the south direction holds particular auspiciousness, especially for mountains or hills, as it enhances the energies of the lucky star 9. Mountains or hills can encompass natural features, buildings, walls, or even taller furniture pieces compared to their surroundings.

And in the north direction holds special significance for water elements, as they help retain and nurture Qi energy. Water features can include natural bodies of water, fountains, ponds, pools, or mirrors reflecting water.

Period 9 in Feng Shui is like turning the page to a new adventure. By understanding its vibes and tweaking your space accordingly, you can ride the wave of luck and welcome positive changes into your life.

In the fascinating world of Chinese metaphysics, the concept of the Five Elements, also known as Wu Xing, plays a crucial role in understanding the harmony and balance of the universe. While it may seem like a complex idea, we’re here to break it down so it is easier to grasp. Let’s embark on a journey to explore the secrets of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.

Wood Element: The Sprout of Growth

Imagine a young sapling pushing through the soil, reaching for the sun. This is the essence of the Wood element – the force of growth and expansion. In Chinese metaphysics, Wood represents creativity, flexibility, and the ability to adapt to new situations. Just like a tree growing stronger with each passing year, individuals associated with the Wood element are known for their resilience and the capacity to bloom in any environment.

Fire Element: The Spark of Passion

Think about a blazing bonfire that lights up the night sky. This is the Fire element, embodying passion, enthusiasm, and the drive to pursue one’s dreams. Individuals aligned with Fire are often vibrant, energetic, and have a magnetic charisma. They ignite inspiration in others and, like a flame that spreads, their enthusiasm is contagious.

Earth Element: The Foundation of Stability

Consider a solid mountain that stands tall and unwavering. This is the Earth element – the stabilizing force that provides a foundation for everything around it. Those influenced by Earth are often nurturing, grounded, and reliable. They create a sense of stability in their relationships and are the supportive pillars within their communities.

Metal Element: The Refinement of Strength

Picture a perfectly crafted piece of metal, shining with strength and resilience. This is the essence of the Metal element – representing precision, discipline, and the ability to refine oneself through challenges. People associated with Metal are often known for their determination, attention to detail, and the capacity to transform adversity into valuable experiences.

Water Element: The Flow of Adaptability

Imagine a meandering river that flows around obstacles, constantly adapting to its surroundings. This is the Water element – symbolizing adaptability, wisdom, and the ability to navigate life’s twists and turns. Individuals aligned with Water are often intuitive, reflective, and possess a deep understanding of the ever-changing nature of existence.

The Relationship between the Elements

In Chinese metaphysics, the Five Elements do not exist in isolation. Instead, they interact with one another in a dynamic cycle of creation and control. The creative cycle involves Wood feeding Fire, Fire creating Earth, Earth birthing Metal, Metal collecting Water, and Water nourishing Wood. On the other hand, the control cycle sees Wood controlling Earth, Earth controlling Water, Water extinguishing Fire, Fire melting Metal, and Metal cutting Wood.

The Five Elements offer a rich tapestry through which we can understand the intricate balance of the universe. Each element contributes its unique qualities, and by recognizing their interplay, we gain insights into our own strengths, challenges, and potential for growth. As you navigate the journey of life, remember the wisdom of the Five Elements, and embrace the harmony they offer.

Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice, revolves around creating harmony and balance in our living spaces. One of its fundamental principles is the concept of Yin and Yang. In simple terms, Yin and Yang represent the dual forces that make up the universe, and understanding them can help bring positive energy into our lives.

Imagine a sunny day with clear blue skies (Yang), followed by the calmness of the night with a bright full moon (Yin). These opposing forces, though different, coexist and complement each other. In Feng Shui, Yang is associated with light, activity, and warmth, while Yin is linked to darkness, rest, and coolness.

Look at a tree – its trunk and branches (Yang) reach up towards the sky, while its roots (Yin) delve deep into the earth. This balance allows the tree to stand tall and thrive. Similarly, in Feng Shui, achieving a balance between Yin and Yang in your living space can promote a sense of stability and well-being.

Yin and Yang aren’t just about physical spaces – they also apply to our daily activities and lifestyle. Balancing study time (Yang) with relaxation and rest (Yin) is crucial for maintaining a healthy and productive routine. Engaging in a mix of activities, from active sports to quiet hobbies, ensures a well-rounded and harmonious lifestyle.

The concept of Yin and Yang serves as a guide to create a balanced and positive living environment. Whether in your room or in your daily activities, finding the right blend of Yin and Yang can contribute to a sense of peace, energy, and overall well-being. So, as you navigate through life, remember the dance of Yin and Yang – a timeless harmony that can bring balance to your world.

Yin and Yang are often represented by a perfectly symmetrical circle, divided into two halves by a sinuous line. One half is shaded in dark, deep colors, representing Yin, while the other is illuminated in bright, vibrant hues, symbolizing Yang.

In the Yin section, envision a serene, moonlit night with cool blues and purples. A tranquil scene where shadows dance, and the world rests in stillness. This half embodies qualities like calmness, receptivity, and introspection. Perhaps a crescent moon graces the darkness, adding a touch of mystery.

On the contrasting Yang side, picture a sunlit day with warm oranges, reds, and yellows. The sun radiates energy, casting bold shadows and creating a lively, dynamic atmosphere. Here, life is in full bloom, and the colors pulsate with activity, representing qualities of warmth, growth, and outward expression.

The sinuous line dividing these halves is not rigid but flowing, emphasizing the dynamic interplay between Yin and Yang. This fluidity suggests that within Yin, there is a seed of Yang, and vice versa – a perpetual cycle of balance and harmony. The overall image captures the essence of duality, where opposites coexist and complement each other, forming a unified whole.


Qi is one of the key concepts for Chinese Metaphysics. It’s like a vibrational energy that exists everywhere, and it’s kind of like the life force that keeps everything alive. Imagine everything around you, like trees, animals, and even you, are made up of this special energy that vibrates differently. This energy is called Qi.

So, when we talk about life, we’re basically talking about a big gathering of this Qi energy. It’s not just in people; it’s in all living things. Inside our bodies, Qi is like the universal energy that makes everything work.

But here’s the cool part: Qi isn’t just inside us. It’s also what connects everything together, like a big invisible web. It connects us to other people, animals, and even the whole universe. So, it’s like this vibrating force that vibrates at different frequencies.

Let me try to link Qi to a very popular exercise – yoga. Imagine Qi as a vibrational energy that flows through your body, a bit like a gentle breeze. Now, think of yoga as a set of exercises that help you feel and control this energy.

In yoga, there’s this idea that your body has these energy pathways called “meridians,” and they’re like invisible rivers where Qi flows. The yoga poses and movements are designed to help this energy move smoothly, like doing a dance with your body.

When you do yoga, it’s not just about stretching and bending. It’s also about making sure your Qi is activated and flowing well. Yoga helps you balance this energy, making you feel more relaxed, focused, and happy.

While yoga deals with internal Qi, there are also Qi in the environment where the study of Feng Shui lies. Have you ever been to an area and you instantly felt good, joyful and at peace? On the other hand, how about a place that feels more depressing, uncomfortable or even downright eerie? Sometimes these areas have more Yang or Yin Qi, which I will write about in another post.
