feng shui - Page 9

[frogertgrl]

Thought I'd let everyone know we had our feng shui consultation.

She told us to sell our house and move.

She did give us feng shui remedies, though and a very detailed analysis and report.

But my DH is po'd that we spent hundreds of dollars to hear that we should move. Cuz he wants to be in this house forever.

Still working on my map - I'm trusting that i have until the end of the waxing moon period! It is hard to finish it faster with a toddler....

saralou, that is GREAT about your mom's offer!

[leafylady]

I'd be ticked off too if the high buck consultant said to sell and move. You paid a lot of money to have her tell you to make her job easier. I hope she gave you more than a few remedies.
Do you like the house as much as your husband does?

[Tracy]

I think the biggest beef the FS consultant had with Frogertgirl's house was with the High Tension Wires and the pole in front of it. Those things can emit a lot of stuff.

my dh is still working on his map.
God the fog of war with the fog of treasure maps and the fog of toddler ....we're lucky we can do anything.

[frogertgrl]

Trabot is right about the wires and transmission tower. FS consultant said that there is no feng shui remedy for that horror.

I dunno what I believe about EMF. I've read both sides: correlation to childhood cancers, no correlation...

She said that EMF is not part of Feng Shui so this is something outside the fs scope.

I guess we're bummed b/c we didn't receive concrete ideas of what to put where, what colors, etc. Five hours and no value that we can see.

I was better off just reading on my own!

I will be done with my map very soon and looking forward to dreams coming true!

Oh, and next time, I think I'll get a referral for a fs consultant, not just search on my own. The session reminded me of bad psychics I've seen over the years...hundreds of dollars to remove bad energy.

[Tracy]

FG: I'm so sorry that she didn't have more concrete remedies for you. I had a friend who had FS consultation and the FS consultant was so overwhelmed by the ghost in the house that she was too focused on getting rid of the ghost. my friend knew about the ghost and was okay with him (dead husband) ended up being very disappointed in the FS consultation because she didn't feel she got anything else from her. I learned later that the FS was just so overwhelmed by the ghost she just couldn't see any remedies except getting rid of him. I wasn't there but I'm wondering if your FS consultant just couldn't see the forest for the big hightension tree.

Anyway, it is my hopes that your husband gets that new job and you have to move for him. It seems like that is looking very positive and that of course came from the fruits of your earlier FS work...which you did by yourself. And if you do move, you have your own FS talents, I think you should follow them and if you are really stuck then get a FS consultant.


My own FS consultant has pissed off a couple of my friends. My one friend hated my FS consultant because she told her she should move because she lived on a dead end street and it continues dead ends in her life. And if you knew my friend's boyfriend, a case could be made that the FS consultant hit the nail on the head. Nonetheless, her bedside manner needed improvement and my friend hated the experience.

just curious if anyone has any movement since making their map?

I feel something is in the works on mine, but not enough yet for me to mention.

[frogertgrl]

With Mercury retrograde for the next three weeks, I'm not expecting any forward motion in any area! (Plus it's in my 7th house conjunct natal Rx Saturn so I will be using my energies to be patient with my DH!)

My DH didn't get the job he interviewed for and it is kind of a bummer. I wanted to move to WA. I'm hoping that one door closes...

And another job ubuptly stopped when it was originally going to give him months of work.

Hoping to see some movement in wealth, i gotta say! But with the Merc retro in Taurus, it might be slow.

How about everyone else?

[leafylady]

mixed... I've been getting more requests for work that fits the work profile I put on my map, which is nice. I am working steadily in the studio, not as many hours as I want, but steadily, like the tortoise.

We should be moving in about 8 days, aaaaackkkk, but that should take our wealth area out of the bathroom:

to fit the family part of the map, we set up a picnic area on our property. I transplanted some roses, phlox, and lilies from our yard to help "break ground", to make it our own and symbolically start our process of building a home.

The map helps keep me focused.

[lucimomster]

Interesting you should ask today....

We just came back from looking at a house in a neighborhood we think we'd like to move into.

On my treasure map, since househunting and improving our condo has a high priority with us, I've got "Ideal Home" in at least three spots ... wealth, relationship, and my work ... plus glimmers all throughout ... and STACKS of money/bags of gold all over the place, because that's what it's gonna take to get us into a new house!

But DH and I aren't certain about this place. Maybe, in retrospect, because it's not "ideal," literally the words I've plugged into the treasure map repeatedly.

So should we redefine "ideal" and lower our expectations (it lacks a garage, a dry basement, about 300 sq foot or more "extra" space for us, and we'd have a BUNCH of carpet to rip out and bare floors to deal with....not to mention my DH's fear that the foundation is bad ... etc.)? Or should we keep our eyes on the prize and let this one go?

That's a rhetorical question, really, unless one of you feels particularly moved to speak.

And about those piles/bags o' money.... DH has also been stressing about his work (and I don't work outside the home, so his income is really imperative for us), wondering if he'll be able to step up to the increasing demands of his job ... spending more hours at work (and less at home, obviously). I'm trying not to get stressed about it too, since there's nothing I can do about it other than perform my partnering responsibilities of keeping our home together and food on the table.

Maybe I need to focus on my treasure map more, more often on a daily basis. I've got it on our "altar" (for lack of a better word -- it's not official) in the living room, so I do look up at it often.

Luci, feeling tired, somewhat disheartened, and wayyyyyy too affected by the dust and doghair in that house to be very clear about anything right now! If you've read this far, thanks!

[leafylady]

I stuck mine on the fridge, with magnets, along with my son's art. It's funny. I notice it the most and truly enjoy seeing it. My husband took about a week to notice it. My son never comments on it, unless he wants a magnet. Visitors to the house never look twice at it. I expected to have people wondering what the heck it was, but no questions so far.

Lucimonster,

Have you considered getting a comprehensive house inspection??

Not on topic fengshuiwise but practical nontheless.

I would also take my gut reaction to things seriously.

FS is facinating to me but I believe much of this is in our bones and we don't really know it.

If you know what I mean (and it is comforting that so many on the Mothering boards *do* know what I mean)

Debra Baker

[lucimomster]

Hi Debra!

Well, we'd DEFINITELY have the house inspected before finalizing a deal if we made an offer on it ... but we haven't decided that we really like it/want it enough to even make an offer and start the process. I think that, for any house purchase that requires getting a mortgage, (here in Indiana at least) the bank insists on the property passing inspection. Whether the bank demands it or not, I know better than to EVER buy a house without an inspection!

We just aren't clear yet whether we really WANT this house. Not to mention all the work we need to do here ... not to mention PACKING and MOVING ... not to mention the money, of course!

Thanks for thinking of me, anyway!

Regarding movement on my map, dh and I picked out a beautiful wood bedroom set and I am just waiting patiently for it to be finished.

Dh's map had part focused on successfully completing school, last week he took the final exams and finished second in his class He is working but is hoping to hear from the place where he REALLY wants to work, which would put in motion our moving from the city and getting a house and some property - two things that were on both our maps...

So far so good

[steph]

lucimonster - our motto around here is "heed the vibe"... in otherwords, if it doesn't feel right, it's not right... if you don't know if you want it, my guess is you don't want it... i'd personally hold out for something that really speaks to you... best wishes!

[DebraBaker]

"heed the vibe"

I really like that so succicnt (sp, grr)

Heed the vibe, so many of us oldsters here have learned that lesson the hard way

Well kind of a funny thing happened to me regarding the map. I too have put up ideals for the house we want to move into, it would have what we don't have now. While renting we would have the whole house, no other tenants, a big yard, a garare, basement, a nice kitchen and some workspace. And this is what I have been focusing on. So just the other day we found a house in a great neighbourhood with all of these qualities, and by chance we ran into the tenants who gave us a private tour and gave us all these hints on how to score the house from the other nine groups of people that were waiting to look at it. So we probably could've gotten it if we had really wanted it. Problem was that the rest of the house, bedrooms, livingroom, bathroom, etc...was soooo tiny and crowded. So we passed it up, trusting that there is something else out there that would be better for us. SO I need to concentrate on the WHOLE house I think, rather than just the parts.

I am wondering, is it okay to change things on the map if your desire for that thing has changed? Or to add something that you may have forgotten about? Or clarify something?

[Astrid]

Big movement on our maps, I still can't believe it

Dh was in a position of wanting to stay with the company he did his apprenticeship with, but also wanting stable employment close to home. His last job he was away for 8 months and that just wasn't good. We had a long talk last night and realized we would love to move back to the Okanagan, where the head office is, so this morning he called his boss and said he wanted to move there and he would help estimate in the office and do local service work and short term away jobs (2 weeks or so) And his boss asked him how soon he could be there

I am still in shock, we are giving our notice for our rental today and going up in the next week or two to look for a house!!

Sorry if this is confusing, I have tons of thought running through my head!! I have so much to do

[ilex]

I am so happy for you!! In Kelowna? So when are you leaving??? Oh boy I have to go email you now, so many questions!!! Yippeeeeeee for you guys!!

fgtgrl: don't fret too much...although I don't know if I'm getting fret from your posting...but I agree I think mercury rx is in the mix. my sense is that you will probably have big movement by july. by cancer new moon.

leaflady: I think I'm feeling like you. My map this year in particular is keeping me focused. I think because there are some tangible things on my map that I havne't always had in the past. I mean my first map, when I was single had a man that I thought was appealing..but that was intangible since that man was not in my life when I did the map. He was by that July but not when the map was made, of course now he is dh. Anyway, this map, I have a picture of this model with a nice body and she is like a model-prettier version of me, you know similiar hair and color and I put my map on a different wall this year so I see it more often. I have thought about her when I've eaten. I'm desparate to lose weight. So, there is a bit more focus.

lucimonster: I am here supporting you and all the others who say, heed the vibe. I had an old boss who use to use the expression, "It had the ring of a real nickle" meaning it was real. I think you aren't getting the ring on this house. My gut says, ditch it and hold out for what you really want.


bellasmom: my old astrologer who was the one that jump started the treasure map and he used to say we could take the whole aires new moon cycle which is a 28 day cycle...which means we have one more day to make any changes and fixes. I believe taurus new moon is tomorrow. That was his advice.
But, I will say this that I have personally made tweaks on the cancer new moon and the libra new moon, by adding a few things.


saralou: Congratulations!!!!! you really have had great, great movement. I'm so happy for you. New furniture, new house, new enviroment...just so excited for you.
I do need to add one thing.... moving during a retrograde can be a pain in the ass. If you can wait until 5/20 to get those wheels turning it might make a smoother time. But you might not have that luxury. Anyway, congrats...congrats..congrats.


on my own front: I'm trying to sell a project. It is a long, hard process and I have other partners in the project and I just felt the wind completely left the sails during new moon. NOt an auspicious feeling to have on new moon, I might add. But my map is so focused on selling it and another project that I thougth, well, maybe things need to contract a bit. We lost some key ingrediants to our project. But in the last couple of days my other partner has hired someone and is paying for it himself to get us back on track. This is a very big deal. I do hope to have big movement by July. I'll keep you all posted on this one. Plus I have other map things...vacations and pleasure things and a new house. We'll see. They are big dreams.

Waaaahhhh! I've missed so much! You won't believe this... one day (a few weeks ago) I was reading a MDC e-mail, and I accidently pressed "unsubscribe to all subscribed threads".

I can't believe all the good stuff I missed. Trabot, you're making me wish I didn't cancel my InStyle subscription. :LOL

Oh well, I'll read all the posts to catch up.... and BTW, I'm seeing some Maori Healers tomorrow who are in LA for a short time. I'm also taking my 3 yr old to have him looked at.
