Feng Shui Folly: Ram On
Our friend C.G. asks:
“If I Am displaying a figurine of the Ram this year what should I do with the figurine of the horse?”
Why not save your horse figurine for the next time around? The wonderful Horse year comes around every 12 years. The next time it will be the Fire Horse, the most dramatic horse of all, in 2026. As the years go by, and you acquire an image or figurine for each zodiac animal, they may make a lovely little audience in the back of the shelf that displays each current year’s animal in the front. Or you could store them, respectfully, out of sight, to wait their turn again. It might become a family tradition to pull out each successive year’s animal token and enjoy seeing them again in their turn.

Read MoreQ&A: Which Bedroom Color is Best?
Q: Good morning, I’ve been reading The Western Guide to Feng Shui Room by Room. Wonderful and very interesting. I’ve actually recommended it to about 10 friends.
The challenge I am having, choosing a paint color for my bedroom. I’m a single woman looking to attract a man and bring romance into the bedroom. I want to find a color that balances both masculine and feminine energy. I’ve read through the list of paint colors on p.181 of the book dozens of times and brought the list to the paint store.

Read MoreQ&A – Spiral Staircases
Q: I have a spiral staircase and I don’t know what to do with it. I find that I’m avoiding going upstairs, afraid I’m going to fall through! Help!
A: The downward moving “waterfall effect” of stairs is greatly amplified when those stairs are also spiraling down just as water does in a drain. Spiral staircases affect our sense of stability and safety, especially when there are no risers installed and the banister is open as well. The ch’i rushes down these stairs too forcefully, and there is a sense of danger in using them—are we going to fall through those openings in step and banister on the way up, or are we going to lose our footing on the way down?
Essential Feng Shui applies our balancing tools of The Five Elements to remedy the situation.

Read MoreQ&A – Which color should I paint my front door?
Q. Hello!
What color should I paint my front door? It’s at the southeast, could I use a different color inside or does it have to be the same? I stood with my back to the door standing outside to get this information, was this the right way? My back door is to northwest. Which color would be the best? Thank you so much for your help.
Janet from Puerto Rico
A. Hi Janet,
Our School teaches Form Feng Shui and you are referring to Compass Feng Shui. I would advise you to paint your doors the color/s that are your absolute favorite and that make your heart sing every time you see them. This lifts your energy every day and enhances your vitality, happiness, creativity, and productivity. Our approach focuses on your individual preferences rather than a generic formula.
Enjoy choosing Colors that you LOVE!
With Every Blessing,
Terah Kathryn Collins
