Hi everyone! I thought of putting this as the first of my series of case studies because in this financially rough year, getting a job could be top in your priority list. I have read of many people sending countless resumes and attended dozens of interviews in the past year, but just kept missing on the ONE that they were looking for. The question is despite the current economic condition, will you have a better chance to nail it this year? Let us analyze it from feng shui point of view…
First we will have to erect the Four Pillars from the person’s birth data to see his energy map, then determine what elements the person lacks of .
The subject case is a male, born on 13th September 1982, 16.45 hour

This is a weak earth person (the one circled in red is your self element). From his Four Pillars there are plenty of metal elements that will weaken him more (in the elemental cycle, earth is producing metal). Furthermore, being born in autumn season with plenty of water around makes him ‘cold’. To balance himself out, he will need some fire (fire is producing earth in the cycle, therefore strengthen him as well as warm him up) and some wood to sustain the fire.
Timing is very important
The last two years were pig and rat year; both were strong water years. As we can see, water is not so good for him- hence the difficulties in career. Getting a job requires both opportunities and your self preparation. Since the best elements for him is wood and fire (wood represents ‘power’ and job opportunity in his case, while fire strengthens him up), he will be presented with more chances towards the wood and fire months this year, starting from this month until mid year (June-July). Although this is a strong and cold earth year, it is still a better year than last year in his case. Next year 2010 is a wood year, which may present better opportunities. In fact, the next five years leading to fire years will be an upward curve for him. So he needs to be patient and stay alert!
Can Feng Shui help?
Yes, Feng Shui will be helpful to enhance your energy balance, so that you can be better off physically and in your state of mind, resulting in better productivity. I have suggested this person to work more on his wood and fire sector in his house. Put some potted plants on the east to energize wood energy and light a lamp on the south to keep it bright. Use more red and green colours, knowing these two are his most auspicious colour. Having said all that, be more alert of opportunities as his energy cycle is getting better these coming few months.
Cheers!
