“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the word
And never stops at all.”
– Emily Dickinson

Dedicated master builders, birds weave delicate straw and sprigs, coupled with found yarn and twigs into a durable foundation that provides a safe, hidden shelter for their soon to be born young. The final touch that feathers their nest is from their own soft, downy coat. These make the baby chamber warm and snug, protecting the fragile eggs so they can incubate in the safest environment.

Like the robin you can do the same – take the twigs of your desires, weave them with your intention and secure the warmth from your passion to incubate the best of who you are when you utilize the awakening power of “Wood” (from the Five Elements). Its upright energy, flexibility and expansiveness will empower not only your home to withstand outside forces, but build your vitality and strengthen your self understanding. Here are five best ever adjustments to show you how.

• When you want your calling to be your profession, make an adjustment in the Wealth gua (Wood element) of your home. Paint the walls green. It represents Spring, vitality and uprising force. You will regenerate your wealth when you add red (Fire element). Red is associated with happiness, reason, enthusiasm, power and strength. Wood feeds Fire. Without the synergy of these two elements your finances would tap out and you may falsely believe you cannot realize your dream. 
• When you want to incubate your best ever partner: plant a pear tree in the yard. The Chinese word, Li, “pear” sounds like partnership and symbolizes the act of sharing. You lay the ground for meaning, value and commitment. If you live in an apartment or a condo you can use a bonsai pear tree or hang a framed picture of a pear tree.
• When you want to nurture a partnership that you have already created. Feather your bedroom with nine lush plants. The demands of work can deplete your energy. The plants’ vitality encourage  mental focusand stamina. Now you have desire fueled by strength to give to your partner. Nuance: if you desire, place a fruiting or flowering plants as they symbolize your efforts will bear fruit.
• When you want to incubate your desire for more offspring: plant a pomegranate tree in your yard. It is an time honored Feng Shui symbol of fertility and fecundity. If you don’t have a garden, they also do well planted in a pot, provided they have adequate lighting, drainage and water.
• When you want to cultivate the qualities of a charismatic teacher and create good teacher and student relationships: plant a plum tree in your yard. However be on the look out if the branches (apricot tree too) extend beyond the property line, one party in a marriage may break their vows.
