#FriggaCharmedLife : Getting Things Right In The Year Of The Dog

I really don't mind when others tell me I'm kind of superstitious just because I follow some Feng Shui traditions especially for the New Year while we wait it out all the way to midnight on New Year's Eve. Not only it is fun spending the holiday with friends and family with good food and drinks, it is considered highly auspicious to be with the ones you love on that day.

I always feel emotional and sentimental about the New Year. My family used to do extraordinary things especially when my dad was here. I consider our village as one of the best places for celebrating New Year’s Eve – there are honking horns with cheers long before the countdown to midnight, every street comes alive with amazing fireworks display to let go of all the bad spirits and bad luck.

Talk about lucks and to mark the beginning of the new year,
our internationally certified and recognized Feng Shui master in the Philippines and my favorite Ms. Marites Allen, begins her exclusive event revealing just what’s in store for all of us.

I was lucky enough to be part of this year's biggest Feng Shui event -- the 2018 Philippine Feng Shui Convention promises to be more exciting and relevant as we all seek good fortune in the Year of the Dog.

2018 is considered to be an auspicious year with a flying star because of number 9 present in all directions. The number 9 is important and more powerful than the number 8 according to Ms. Marites Allen.

If you’re worried about having a great start to 2018, it might be worth paying attention to some of these Feng Shui tips I've learned at the convention:

It is a must to update your house Feng Shui each year.
Before the Chinese New Year, which will fall the 16th of February, make sure to make your front door as bright and clutter -free as possible. It is bad Feng Shui when you put all your shoes at the front door.
You should know your directions. Use traditional compass instead of the digital though.
Once you've seen the direction of the house, divide your floor plan into 9 grids.The correct floor plan will look like this :
You stand in the middle of your house looking out then reconfirm it by taking the direction looking outside.

Disaster star in SouthEast. You have to put there cures to reverse the bad luck.
For the married people and to those who are looking for LOVE and ROMANCE, you need to activate the Peach Blossom Luck - Tiger, Horse, Dog put the painting of the blue rat in the East. Snake, Rooster, Ox place Red Horse in the South.
Most ideal location in 2018 is the NorthWest
Wealth star is in the South East. Enhance it more using infinity symbols.
You have to buy Marites Allen's Feng Shui Almanac and planner cause it is important that we simulate Spring by making important changes in our homes and offices as early as this week. I cannot leave the house without checking first the Almanac :)
