(Part 2)

Mary first contacted me by mail ten years ago. She sent me her floor plan, numerous detailed photos of her apartment, and a letter explaining the challenges she was facing in her life. Mary also wrote that her main desire was to get married and have a family.

One of Mary’s main challenges is relationships. Whether it be with family, friends, or co-workers, her relationships tended to be unstable, short term, and conflicting, leaving Mary feeling lonely, depressed, and unmotivated.

Career is the second thing Mary wrote about. She frequently changes jobs, which creates chaos, instability, and lack of self-confidence. She experiences a lot of friction with her coworkers no matter how hard she tries to along with them. She would also like to do better financially in her career.

Using Mary’s birth information, I find that she is a Western Direction Pattern person belonging specifically to the northwest direction, which tells me that she is more compatible with the northwest, southwest, northeast, and west directions. According to her birth chart, her promoting elements are earth and metal, meaning that she lacks and needs more of these elements to balance her personal energetic make up.

Now that I know Mary’s promoting elements, I can establish her promoting colors, which are yellows, browns, tans, and beiges representing the earth element, and white and gold representing the metal element. Her neutral element is water, and therefore her neutral colors are black, gray, and blue. Since Mary has an abundance of the fire and wood element, (her defeating elements) I will minimize the representative colors of fire (reds, pinks, purples) and wood (greens) in her feng shui adjustments. Her promoting number is 8, associated to the earth element, and 6 and 7, which belong to the metal element.

Next we do a reading of her personal birth chart to get a better idea of what’s going on in her life, what her potential is, and what might be causing her current situation. A complete birth chart reading takes between one and two hours and covers twelve aspects of your life including: personality, parents/ancestors, luck, property, career, friendship, travel, health, marriage, siblings, wealth, and children. It also covers 10-year cycles of your life, annual cycles, and past life karma energy.
