Thinking out loud - It might not go amiss to include shoes and bags on ‘Vignettes and Pets’ as well. I say this on the basis that I have been known to collect them er...frequently (hardly worn any of them in the last year or so but nevertheless...) and I think there might be just the smallest chance JUST a few others may be of the same cough mindset cough... 🤩

@Oops... if the china is sentimental could you look to getting it repaired? I did read that although chipped china is not good, getting it repaired is okay.

Also, I have read there are three commanding positions, your bed, stove and your desk where they should be placed diagonal to the door, and with your back not facing the door, (so you can have sight of the door to protect your back I am guessing from unseen negative energy) you can get around this with the placement of mirrors. It does sound daft that you might have mirrors everywhere, but I can see how a cleverly placed mirror in your home could alleviate a placement of a commanding item where it cannot be placed anywhere else.
Its not sentimental really and its cheaper to replace it which I will try to do when the shops open again I think. If any of my mother’s china which is so sentimental to me broke I would definitely get it repaired. I have it on display behind glass as I’m a little afraid to use it. Its so lovely.

The information about mirrors is brilliant thanks so much! This will make things clearer for us all! :m

Also, thanks so much for taking the trouble to explain how to clap corners to clear energy - that’s invaluable to anyone who might have been a bit puzzled.:m

It was so good of you to share the procedures you used at the end of your relationship. This is very relatable.🍊 x

Good evening to you all :)

Do you have any feng shui guidance for legal matters?
I have a case that is being heard next week and a few other matters that are ongoing and wondered whether there is any positive energy I can create around that.

The outcome would make an important financial difference to me.

Essentially, I was betrayed and not paid what I was being owed and I fought for what is mine and now the formality of it scares me.
I am being taken advantage of quite frequently.

I wish for a positive outcome and for strong financial flow as a have a few good causes to support.
It sounds enormously daunting. However, good for you for honouring yourself and seeing it through. They may go for an out of court settlement before hand at the last minute. However, you might want to try something I was once advised to do. I must say it worked. You might if you are present in the court (you can also do it remotely if you aren’t actually going to be there). I was advised to imagine a small green ball of light in the centre of the court. Imagine that ball growing bigger and bigger until it bathes the whole court room in the green light. The green symbolises something that comes from the heart and connection to those there. Let that hang there for a while and then change the colour to blue and let that bathe the room. This symbolises communication and truth. It’s important to centre yourself beforehand maybe by closing your eyes and taking a few deep breaths and stating your intent that you would like a good outcome. If the decision maker/s in the court have the power to get the money for you maybe blast them with a bit of red. I wasn’t told to do that but its just that red is a very auspicious colour for finances and if they are making the decision for your finances I sense this may help you. Please will you let us know how you get on and if this helps you. In the meantime I hope it isnt too overwhelming for you during the build up. 💛

@Oops... I honestly appreciate your thoughts and insights, I find them truly informative and I think your advice and time you take to try and help is truly wonderful of you.
I purchased a money frog and a few crystals that I didn’t already have, some Chinese coins with red string.
I looked at placements in my house and took the time to read information about the layout and I’m going to try and figure out if I can rearrange a few things.
If and when I start to notice these changes I’ll be sure to let you know.
This subject matter is truly fascinating to me and like you say the nay sayers can judge all they like but they’re clearly missing out on the good energy.
I’ve convinced my mum that it’s a good thing what I’m doing to the house and she’s coming around to it as well now.
I’ve been smudging the house with Palo Santo for the last couple of years and I have to say it truly lifts the mood when I’ve done that.
This will sound awful, but I tend to smudge when people I don’t know have been in just to clear any energy they may have left behind or I get a vibe from them, I have a few crystals placed in parts of the house as well.
The manifesting part is new to me but I’m open to it and I’m trying.
I always thank the universe when something good or bad happens regardless of whether I’ve made it happen.
I never see it as bad, merely it wasn’t meant for me and it was taken away to remove the block so something better can come along or for a lesson to be learnt and for me to grow from.
I’ve never really had anywhere/anybody to discuss it with or learn from so I’m really glad I found this thread.
So thank you again for taking the time to educate and advise the not so informed on this subject 🤍

Your post made me smile 💛 . You must let us know what you bought and if you start noticing any changes when you activate them by telling them what you would like them to do. Sounds bonkers I know. However, your naysayers might have a little rethink when ‘things‘ start to happen or change for the better. I was told not to question it but to accept it. When one coincidence after another started to happen I realised that my ‘wise man’ was right. There is no such thing as coincidence...I was doing all this 25 years ago after having a Lilian Too book spike my interest. I am not an expert or a Feng Shui Master but I am happy to share the things I have been taught from those who are. These influencers today think they invented The Secret and manifesting - they didn’t. It’s been going on for centuries you just have to make an effort to channel into it. “It’ tends to find you btw - s’funny that...Start slowly and when it starts working move on to the next bit and so on. Try to enjoy the process and have some fun with it. I betcha’ all the pennies you have just spent will be back in your purse very quickly.;)

Thank you Oops.
I also ordered some money plants that I will keep there in green pots and will put money crystals and something made of wood there, too.
The side board will hold my bank cards and jewellery going forward, so hopefully I will have created a little wealth corner /shrine that will help me attract money.

I am still disappointed by what happened last week, but try to find a way to make the best of it.
I am wondering if my lawyer might be liable due to giving me poor advice?

My problem is that I cannot let go of things and find it hard to detach from something like this, especially if I perceive it to be unfair.

@Oops... I am so glad to see you are still here. And some other familiar names too. I am not going to post on a certain thread any more, things took a very odd turn. Sending you lots of love.

So incredibly helpful. I will definitely heed your advice. Personally, when I hope something goes away instead of addressing it directly, that’s when the negative energy sets in and I get defensive, probably because I feel guilty. An example is, I have an aunt who lives abroad and only has a landline. She has no whatsapp/facetime and when I call her, she keeps me at least an hour on the phone - and I can’t help but think I’m going to be down 70 to 80 eu each time! Plus, since my mum died in 2016, long phone calls don’t really happen so I have to psyche myself up each time. I’m going to suck it up, though, because I always feel a cloud lift after I talk to her. I am also guilty of not touching base enough with my friends and I aim to improve there as well.

Another thing, and @Gertrude referenced this - is that the pandemic has given us a new, unforeseen, normal, whereby we have our own work/life routine from home. I absolutely agree with her with regard to the anxiety of returning to a more tumultuous reality. It is inevitable but it will be hard.

I would love to do the clap for energy every month. I really enjoyed the run up to it as well - a thorough clear out and spring clean, the feeling of everything clean and bright as prep, and wearing something lovely, all contributed.

My lovely money toads arrived! So happy. Still waiting on the rose quartz, though.
@Milking Keynes are you in the UK or in Southern Ireland, I seem to think it is Ireland for some reason?

We used a service much like this, but not this one to make calls to overseas without it costing us an arm and a leg, we would top up our account, follow the instructions and at the end of the call it would tell us how much credit we had left. It was significantly cheaper, pennies a minute, varied but where we were calling 5p I think. Finding a solution might mean that there is less anguish for you regarding the call to your Aunt, especially as you do seem to benefit from it. http://www.justcall.co.uk/how-it-works

An update on the money toad and vision boards. They do work! I finally have my dream job which I will be starting in June. Hopefully I will find a place to live that is better feng shui than what I live in currently. I am so overjoyed. Thank you for all of your lovely advices. I am very grateful! 💕

If one of the items on vision board comes true, do you replace it with something new or leave it?
I started a vision board on Pinterest last night and meditated/visualized it all while listening to music! Hoping it’s as good as a physical vision board 🤞🏼
I must say it felt so relaxing putting it together, one of the few apps I can use without feeling anxiety or comparing myself to other people 😂
I was feeling really low last week everything was getting to me, anyone else feel the same? Is there a planet in retrograde or something?🪐

Just thought I'd post this as I have a feeling someone here needs to hear it:

If you have dripping/leaking taps in your house - either inside or out - get them fixed ... even if it costs a fair bit.

Leaking / dripping taps is symbolic of money going down the drain.
Yes - I completely agree! This is very good advice 💛

Morning @Kittycat86! I meant to reply yesterday but didn’t get the chance. I did put my intentions out on the new moon as you suggested.
Thank you once again for the words of encouragement, they really really helped. Tears still come at any time of the day, but I have faith the near future will be filled with happiness 💖 I have decided I will be keeping my distance from him, we have actually been texting and calling each other daily even after things ended more than a month ago, but yesterday for the first time I didn’t respond to his text.
I hate to think of you in tears but I think you’re making the right decision to keep your distance. I know others have said it and it’s hard to believe but one day you will be happy again.
I have seen my daughter in bits over men and convinced she will be in agony for ever but she has recovered. It’s just such a horrible process to endure. Sending you love xx

I think I did it? I clapped and clapped, holding my arms up and then bending down to clap the bottoms of the corners (is that a thing??), and then started laughing and laughing. I should have put the new puppy outside or something. In my new puppy exhaustion I completely forgot the point of him not being around whilst his mummy clapped the bad energy out. He thought it was fantastic though, standing up next to me and jumping around.

I may try again tomorrow. I hadn't thought to wear something purifying (like white). Sounds like a good idea. Might even put lipstick on, haven't done that in a year!

So I don't know if I did it right, but I do feel joyful, hence I'm counting it a win.

p.s. I really feel like I could feel everyone else's intentions. Might be fanciful thinking or I'm hormonal or something. But still, I felt *something*.
I have no doubt you did it better than me! Still, though, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Love the thought of your dancing dog! ❤😂

SAME!

Thankfully my work uniform consists of a pair of scrubs and trainers ... if I had to wear real clothes, I would have needed to invest in a whole new wardrobe! 😅
I'm thinking of wearing scrubs too.🤣 I have a house full of nice clothes and two items that fit! 🙄

@Oops... Thank you for explaining the coin flip in detail x although I do feel it’s too soon to take that step as it’s not been long enough to know what I really want. It all came out first of the month so the emotions are still very raw.
I appreciate what my boyfriend is telling me, he keeps telling me that right now as I love him and want to be with him, I “may” think I’m ready to give up on marriage/kids but he thinks deep down I will want kids at some point and upon realising that he won’t be able to, will make me resent him eventually and he doesn’t want that. Nor does he want to see me sacrifice on my desires. He has made himself clear that if I wanted to end things now, he would fully support/understand the decision as he wants me to be happy.
We have been together 18 months, but I have not come across a man this honest, upfront and selfless. I’m totally baffled and at loss. I’ve noticed/felt change in his behaviour since this week. For eg no more saying love you unless I do first, no hugging/cuddling and worst of all he has not stayed over this week for the first time since last 6 months. He has got his younger brother staying at his own place for time being so not been at mine. Now I don’t know if this change in affection is intentional or not but it is so so upsetting. Sorry for the outpouring xx
Please don’t apologise for venting @Hi there.

Thinking of you and sending hugs! ♥

Thank you, You da Man!! - I bow down to you ❤❤


Oh, I’m sorry. So very hard to know. Is he willing himself to create distance in order for force you away? I haven’t a damn clue. All I will say to you is what I have learned - men are 20% testosterone and 80% pride. Give him space.
Had to give daughter a lift so ended up ending v abruptly there - what I meant was, why don’t you give eachother one month? He needs it as much as you - this is not a situation to decide right now, for both of your sakes, honestly. And the other thing I would add is there is no right or wrong in love - if that were true, we would have all been easily steered in the right direction. Lots love - it’s v tough ❤

I can hear how difficult this must be for you. I really hope it doesn’t overwhelm you too much. Things can change in a heartbeat can’t they? There’s a book called the I Ching which can be very useful to help give you advice and hope at the same time. I would recommend an English translation as the old Chinese translations can be difficult for us to understand. It is a book of ancient wisdom. It might help you to look into that right now. You throw coins and they create a hexagram and the hexagram answer is likely to be specific to what you need. I will try and find mine (have fairly extensive bookcases to go through first). I will put the book up here for you to see and I hope it helps you. In the meantime ,,,breathe...IT WILL ALL BE OK 🤗


I’ve been looking forward to hearing more all day. I am sure she will tell us more about it soon. 💛
Yes, you said about him being good at Art. I have a warm picture in my mind of your dear father from what you have said about him. I like drawing (as you can tell from my spell-binding efforts higher up) but definitely better at collecting it rather than actually doing the hard bit. That’s for sure. :rolleyes:
You’re the best. Yes, he was a wonderful man in every way. Your mum sounds pretty phenomenal too. I can see where you get your energy, @ Oops. So positive in every way.

Thank you, that means a lot.
I know I probably mention him more than I should but he’s left a huge gap in my life.
He was a very special man. I was very lucky to be his daughter.
I’ve worked so hard on his house, decluttering but without removing “him”.
On his desk I’ve placed a few books that relate to his life, alongside his glasses and his mug, and in his bedroom on the chest of drawers is his hat that he wore in the summer as if it’s there just waiting for him to pop it on before going out into the garden.
I know most will find that silly but it helps me deal with it.
When I see the estate agent’s photos I want it to still look like his home, not a impersonal show home or even worse like a “probate” house that you can spot a mile off on RightMove. I’m sure you all know the ones I mean - unloved and half empty where it’s starting to be cleared by the family. I just couldn’t do that to the place he loved.
(And there I go again, talking about him more than I should!) 😳
Oh bless you, this post really moved me. I am trying to do the same with my FILs house. He’s in a nursing home with memory issues and his house is going up for sale soon. I can tell by your posts you’re a special person, your dad would be so proud xxx

@1001 others What you are doing sounds good to me, have a look at this image and see if you can actually do anything with the way things are actually on your desk. The mirror to counter the door situation seems like a good fix and I have seen this mentioned as a way to get around having your back to the door.

View attachment 466437


@Arts911 Young children are sensitive to energy changes so I had a look and it seems it is suggested you do it when they aren't in the house. Maybe if it's a nice day they could play in the garden while you do it.


@Yogarow I had a quick look for you, I am in no way an expert but it seems there are fixes for the coffin position. Have a read of this x At least if you look into it now when you do come to move you can look for the things you don't want to have, toilet over the front door for instance.
Ah thank you! Upon reading, I'm not actually in line directly with the door, I'm facing the door but to the slight left of the doorway so when I rearrange the room I will try and move abit more to left! Feel better about that now! Realised the baby would be however directly in coffin position so may rethink and put baby on other side xx

Speaking of the year of the Ox. As an Ox, this year is a rather sluggish one for me (and it's true in that I'm exhausted and the year just started LOL). So I need all the luck I can get and will get some protective talismans for my purse or phone case. My protection animal is the Rat. I'm seeing a tonne of purse mice talismans. I guess rats and mice are interchangeable in this instance?

My husband is a Rooster, and he's having a great year, particularly in his career which falls in line with what I've read about the year of the Ox for Roosters. Not so funnily, last year I read that his prediction was that he'd be prone to accidents. I told him this early on and he eye rolled me and laughed at me. Yet he had a terrible accident that ended in a badly broken bone that will take a long time to heal. Knocked him for six and he wasn't able to work for months, which was also predicted. (I'm getting weepy just thinking of how difficult the recovery has been for him.) I'll never discount this stuff again. It even happened during the month it was predicted.

A few years ago I found an online website that does emotional and daily horoscopes with astrological readings. It's Western astrology vs Chinese, but still, he's been the most accurate astrologer I've come across. His relationship readings have always been dead on. Uncomfortably so. I had several toxic relationships before finding my person. I ordered readings for all my past relationships and it was there in black and white, what would happen. Fascinating to see and I so wish I'd known about this stuff beforehand. Sometimes we just don't mesh with people in the correct way and the results are years wasted at best or worse, added emotional baggage to lug around. UGH!

But back to daily horoscopes, his are eerily on point. If you get a personalized reading vs a relationship one, the daily horoscopes for a year are included. The "emotional horoscopes" as he calls them are more broad about placements and they tell you how intensely whatever given placement is occurring will affect you based on your own chart. The emotional horoscopes can be had via a personalized reading or a relationship reading. Here's the site:

It's a large website, so I'm linking the specific pages so it's easier to find them.
The relationship readings are at this page:

For the personalized readings (one person only), that have those daily horoscopes I mentioned, here's that page:
