Happy New Year!
In Feng Shui, each year has its own energy, based on the Five Elements: water, wood, fire, earth and metal. This year is symbolized as “Fire on Water” and is considered a period of conflict. After all, fire and water don’t mix.
Indeed, this is not likely to be a peaceful year. Where 2006 was associated with environmental interest and spiritual health, 2007 could see an increase in battles, explosions, political overthrows or health epidemics. However, under a tumultuous surface, a new beginning is taking root. The Pig represents winter, when new life is germinating beneath the earth. Also, we are currently in an auspicious 20 year feng shui cycle which began in 2004, one which will further support new beginnings. With a little courage and determination, we can see our way through to a successful year with new adventures and open skies ahead…
Let’s look at how the 2007 annual energy will affect you, and ways to ensure you take advantage of the good energy which awaits you in the year of the Pig:

2007 Feng Shui Recommendations for Your Home or Office
Feng Shui believes that each year the stronger and weaker areas in every building shifts slightly. Listed below are recommendations for each area of your space. To ensure that you take advantage of the positive energy of 2007, while reducing any potentially harmful aspects, place the suggested element, or colors, in the corresponding corners of your space:
