Feng
Shui and Love
 Alicia
is a sophisticated, attractive and eligible woman. One would neverguess
that she is still single and in her mid-thirties. She enjoys her
career, makes a good income, drives a nice car and lives comfortably.
However, she has no luck in romance and is lonely without a partner
in life. Her relationships never last very long. She has tried very
hard to find a husband without any results. At the end of her rope,
she wonders if her house's Feng Shui has anything to do with it.
She asks me if Feng Shui affects love and if there are houses that
create loneliness.
A house's Feng Shui can influence its resident's love relationships.
However,
the effects vary because everyone is unique and lives in different
houses. Nonetheless, there are some general characteristics that create
single or lonely people such as life long bachelors and spinsters
or widows and widowers.
Houses
that sit on a slope where the left hand and right hand sides are
not even causes for an imbalance of masculine (yang) and feminine
(yin) energies respectively. When the masculine side is lower, these
energies tend to descend or have nothing to contain it. This balances
the energies in favor of the feminine side or the females of the
house. The results on the residents are stronger females who are
dominant and weaker males who find it hard to excel here. Vice-versa.
Similarly, living in a house located on a hill top, in a basin,
at the end of an alley, or in a high rise all lack yin and yang
energies. This makes for short relationships and loneliness. Also,
depending on what year you are born, your house or bedroom may "sit"
in a certain direction that places you in a frequency that causes
difficulty attracting the opposite sex and getting married. For
example, if you are born in the year of the ox and your house or
bedroom "sits" in the "ying" direction (between 52 to 67 degrees
of north); or if you are a dragon and your house or bedroom "sits"
in the "si" direction (between 142 to 157 of north); or if you are
a sheep and your house or bedroom "sits" in the "shen" direction
(between 232 to 247 of north) - being in these frequencies may be
causing you difficulty in finding a mate.
We must
also look at a person's birth chart. Sometimes, it is their own frequencies
that are not compatible with the opposite sex so that it is hard for
them to have relationships. The Chinese birth chart or "ba zi" (literally
translates to mean eight numbers) is a statistical record calculated
from the eight numbers from the day, month, year and time of your
birth. It is similar to an astrological chart that tells you what
position the stars and planets are in at your specific time of birth
and how their energies affect your life cycle. The information is
highly accurate for those who know how to read it. However, the effect
it has on you is minimal because it is still only one of 30 factors
that influence your life. It may be your personality, your background,
your culture, your career, your attitude or your health that makes
it hard for you in finding a partner. So, it is important for us to
look at as many factors as possible in both the person and their environment.
Usually
a person settles down in a place where they feel most comfortable
and secure, where the house's energies or chi is similar to their
own. Very often, it is the person, who by nature has difficulty with
relationships that live in a house where the Feng Shui creates loneliness
or singularity. Also, most of us do not realize that the house can
affect their love life and do not select their houses according to
Feng Shui.
 Alicia's
birth chart indicates that her connection with men is weak. Although
men do pursue her, it is usually very superficial. She is innately
a strong-minded and independent person. Because of this nature,
it is not surprising that she finds herself most comfortable in
a house that sits on a hillside where the left side is lower than
the right side - where male energies are weak. She also sleeps in
a direction that aligns her with frequencies that are very positive
for her career. Thus, her energies are focused and stronger for
her career than her love life.
Consequently,
being beautiful and wealthy does not always guarantee that
one will have love in their life and easily find a spouse. Sometimes,
successful relationships also depends on how well you understand the
type of energies you possess and how the energies of your environment
affects you. Then, can you realize how to best adjust yourself or
your Feng Shui to create frequencies that are conducive of love.
