This will certainly be sought after by royal collectors, and shows how much Feng Shui has reached status all over the world. Read more of the story here

Having been advised by a horrified Feng Shui practising friend that ‘all his money was going down the drain’ William Hill client Jim kept his toilet seat down and his bathroom door firmly shut and has since been on an extraordinary year-long winning streak that most recently landed him a £175,933 online jackpot.

Those of you have have been following my feng shui writing for a while will know that I am a big fan of western astrology. I mean no disrespect to the Chinese system, it’s just that I’ve been using western astrology in my personal life for about thirty years now and it works for me and I’m sticking with it.

I’ve often wondered how western astrology could be more deeply coordinated with the western style of feng shui that I practice and write about. But, although I’m a highly experienced consultee, I am not a professional astrologer and simply don’t have the depth or breadth of expert knowledge to have explored that question on my own.

Which is why I was so thrilled to read this excellent article today that matches up the Houses of a person’s natal astrological chart with the ba gua, and discusses how to use this information along with new moon cycles for very powerful and effective feng shui rituals and/or remedy placement.

This is exciting new information, and I’m thrilled to have found it just in time to do some feng shui empowerment on the New Moon happening tomorrow, Oct. 17. (It’s a bit last-minute to be sharing this info with you here, but if you miss the October new moon, just start planning ahead for next month.)

The Oct. ‘09 new moon lands in the 9th house of my chart, which correlates to the “Knowledge/Wisdom” area — which in my home is to be where my office is located. As soon as I’ve finished this post I’m going to start preparing for the new moon by cleaning up my desk!

Do be aware that to use this method you will need:
1) a basic familiarity with western astrology and its symbols.
2) a copy of your “birth” or “natal” chart that defines the exact location (in degrees and minutes within a sign) of each house cusp.

Then, keep an eye on upcoming new moons. Look up the date and time (adjusted for your local time zone), and where that moon will be in what astrolocial sign. Here’s an example of an ephemeris (astrological calendar) page for November ‘09. I’ve enlarged the box that shows the lunar phases:

(most of the info on this page can be ignored if all you want to know is when/where the new moon is happening)

The Nov. ‘09 new moon (marked in red) happens on the 16th at 24 degrees 34 minutes Scorpio. What house is that in in your chart? Remember to adjust the time of the new moon for your local time zone.

If you don’t know enough about western astrology to work this out on your own, Simone Butler (author of the article) can prepare personalized info for you … or you can invest some time in reading up on the basics of western astrology. There’s a TON of information available on the web to get you started, including this overview. (Please do NOT email me with astrology questions, BTW: I will just send you back to this page to read this paragraph again.)

Q: I am looking at apartments, and saw one recently that I liked. The building was originally a one-family home, but has been converted into a duplex with two separate living spaces and two different addresses. What does this do to the ba gua for the house? If I take this apartment, will I be living in just one half of the ba gua? Or are there now two ba guas, one for each unit?

A: There are now two ba guas, one for each unit of the duplex. Conversion of older, larger homes into apartments is quite common. When this happens each individual unit has a new ba gua that applies just to that space. Placement of each apartment ba gua is now determined by the main entry to each apartment, not by the building entry (as it would have been for the original single-family home).
