Elemental Cures in Feng Shui: Why the Real Thing Matters
A feng shui cure works because it brings a real element into your home: water, light, stone, solid metal, living wood. Here’s how the five elements interact, what actually counts as a cure for each one, and why color and shape carry less weight than most people think.
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.

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

The Fifth Season: Paying Attention to What Needs to Be Released

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.

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.
