“A lunar eclipse is emotional and pulls you apart to put you back together again, hopefully in a better way.”
– Mark Dodich, Astromark
Heaven is supercharged this week for change and it’s all meant for your own good. The Autumnal Equinox is a book end to a Super Moon Lunar Eclipse, Sunday, September 27. The Chinese will celebrate this as the Happy Moon Festival*. Gifts are coming but in the meantime you may experience sleepless nights and if so, lack of adequate rest affects your stress levels. Emotional–teary-eyed, angry and worn out–you may be overwhelmed by the momentum and this will affect your luck too. The Ch’i during the week is not smooth and you may even find it surprising. You could be promised a promotion and then get overlooked. Out of the blue someone may rear end you in traffic. Life could suddenly shift into haywire. It’s the perfect time to do something out of the ordinary. You can stop the cascade effect with color, conscious breathing and qigong methods. Here are five, easy Feng Shui methods to help you connect to the epiphanies of this transformational time and live fearlessly in the face of change.
Restless Nights
The time leading up to a full moon illuminates everything in your life. If you cannot sleep perform “Tapping the Head”. The procedure is this: tap the entire skull with your fingertips 108 times. Feel your thoughts being pulled from the interior of your brain to the surface of your skull and exit. If you need to, perform it 324 times.
Tipping Point
We all get caught off guard. You can bring yourself back before you get angry. Play the piano or write your anger down in your journal. You vent the steam as the Ch’i hits the paper. Sing if you are about to scold a friend or child or swallow your saliva nine times if you feel you are going to curse at someone.
Zest Boost
Wear green or light blue to lift your energy and help you gain clarity. These colors are related to the Wood element. They enliven your Ch’i, smooth out your nervous system and ground you in reality. You can add the visualization of deep roots of a tree.
Double Jeopardy
During these intense seasonal changes we may feel unstable. Place bamboo (I’ve discovered cut bamboo works better than live unless you have two green thumbs) anywhere in the house. Make sure the root end is at the bottom. The intention in this cure is to create stability. Bamboo’s meaning is peace and safety. It provides support and drives away negative forces.
Less Distress
If you would like to create peace in your household, amongst employees or peace on the streets in a place where there is little peace, use the rainbow color system (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet) in any one of the rooms in your home or office. There are many creative ways to accomplish this. One client hung a rainbow kite on the ceiling of the hallway in their office. It made quick smiles.
*Mid-Autumn Moon Festival
Some say it’s the most magical moon of the year. “The Chinese people believe the full moon is a symbol of peace, prosperity, and family reunion. On Mid-Autumn night the harvest moon is supposed to be the brightest and fullest of the year, so the festival is also known as the “Day of Reunion” and the Moon Festival” (China Highlights). While enjoying the festival hang lanterns, eat some cake with your significant other and make a wish! Moon cakes if you can get them – round cookies or pastries with filling will do. Place mirrors out in the moonlight to empower your divine feminine energy.
