The Skeleton: Halloween Decor Through a Flying Stars Lens
A life-size skeleton showed up on my rock wall, courtesy of a neighbor. Here's what classical Flying Stars feng shui says about decorations, and why the real thing to watch this October isn't the decor.

What Happens During a Feng Shui Home Assessment
You're interested in feng shui. But wondering: what exactly happens during an assessment? What's included in the report? Why do I keep asking for the year your home was built? Let me walk you through the process so you know exactly what to expect, from the data-gathering visit to the 30-page personalized report.
Feng Shui = Woo Woo? It's More Like Meteorology for Your House
My husband came home from a work dinner where three out of four people thought feng shui was decluttering. It's not. It's closer to meteorology: a system for reading forces you can't see. Here's how that plays out in the north sector of my own Atlanta home.
We’re Halfway Through the Fire Horse Year. How is Your Home Holding Up?
We're at the peak of the Fire Horse Year, and if you've felt intensity lately, it's not coincidence. Nine flying stars land in different sectors of your home each year, and they interact with your home's natal stars in complex ways. Some align beautifully. Others create friction. Right now, the Five Star sits in the south, the most volatile energy of the year. Here's what that means for your space and what to do about it.
Your House Is Like a Time Capsule: What Flying Stars Feng Shui Actually Measures
Some people think feng shui means I show up and read the energy in a room. What's actually happening is the house sealed in a fixed set of conditions at construction (or renovation), and the people living there are what activates it. Here's how that works, and how timing and facing direction together determine what got sealed in.
The Fifth Season: Paying Attention to What Needs to Be Released
Most of us move through our days on autopilot. But the fifth season arrives to interrupt that. It's asking you to pick things up, feel whether they resonate, and trust what your body already knows about what needs to stay and what needs to go.
Music, Sound, and the Energy in Your Home
Music is vibration. Sound is energy. When a song plays in your home, it literally reshapes matter and shifts what's possible in that space. Here's how sound becomes an adjustment and why Glen Hansard's voice reminded me of that today.
Doubt, Dissolving, And A Couch: What A Luna Moth Taught Me About Spatial Flow
Spaces hold onto old arrangements the same way people hold onto old habits. When a rare luna moth forced me to pause and look, I didn't meditate. I moved my couch. Here's how unblocking my family room cleared my mind, and why the dissolving phase of your life or career is a sign that flight is coming.
Why You Should Have a Feng Shui Consultant

When Water Is Needed: From Cat Bowls to Ritual
Water is one of the trickiest elements to place in a home. Here’s how I did it: cat bowls, a ritual bowl, and a daily practice that my husband and I actually look forward to.
When Your Home Has a Missing Section
Most homes aren't perfect rectangles. Mine has a northeast section that cuts in by three feet, an architectural gap that represents a missing piece of feng shui energy. But missing sections aren't problems. They're invitations to practice feng shui responsively. Here's how I anchored mine, and what that taught me about working with what actually exists.
Roxanne: How a Mannequin Became My Feng Shui Collaborator
We found Roxanne in an antique store over ten years ago with big plans for an art project that never materialized. Then, about two years ago, I realized her real purpose: feng shui collaborator. This is the story of how an unfinished project became a tool for living intentionally and what Roxanne taught me about responsive, personal feng shui.
Feng Shui Isn't Like a Vending Machine
Feng shui isn't a purchase. It's a framework for understanding why your home feels the way it does. Here's why the 'buy this object' approach fails and what actually works.

You redecorate. It still doesn't feel right. You redecorate again. Here's why that Decoration Loop never ends and how Flying Stars feng shui actually breaks it.
Five Things People Think Feng Shui Is (But Isn’t)
If you've tried feng shui advice from Instagram and it didn't work, you're not alone. Over time, feng shui has been simplified into decorating tips and organizing advice. But feng shui, Classical Flying Stars, is a diagnostic system, not a checklist. Here are five of the biggest misunderstandings, and what actually matters.
Why the East Isn't Always Asking for More Wood
East equals Wood? North equals Water? My North kitchen needed Metal instead. Flying Stars feng shui goes beyond compass directions to diagnose what your home actually needs. See how generic feng shui advice can point you in the opposite direction and why personalized analysis changes everything.
The Five Elements: How Energy Interacts Inside a Home
Every Flying Star carries an elemental quality. But understanding those elements is where analysis becomes insight. Learn how Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal interact within a home and why your 'challenging' sectors might be exactly where your most important work happens.
The Hidden Blueprint of Your Home: Understanding Feng Shui’s Energetic DNA
Every home has a blueprint, an energetic pattern established the moment it was built. In Flying Stars feng shui, that pattern can be mapped, analyzed, and worked with. This is where every assessment begins.
