FAVORABLE DATES: AUGUST 22-31; SEPTEMBER 1-31   

CHALLENGING DATES: JULY 30-31; AUGUST 1-21

Yi-KING-KOIN== Chips are down for the coming six weeks of solid Donkey Dung.

I CHING for JULY 25-26== Loneliness could be the theme for this last week of JULY. A deep sense of sadness will be your constant companion if you opt for cocooning. So, please get your Self out of your depressive box. Have the courage to do what is best for your personal satisfaction. Do it without any hesitation. To grow, resiliency is your password this week.

WORKABLE STRATEGIES JULY 25-26== It is easy to say not to be afraid but it is the mind's job to keep you afraid and constantly worried. Improvement comes from your very own self. Do not depend on others. Do not depend on so-called psychics and astrologers to tow you out of your dung ditch. How can you be a winner? Simple. Contribute something useful and helpful to others. Volunteering, that's your Cosmic Price to pay. What to get betterment? Contribute. Share the load. Help others and Life will help you. No doubt about it!

SUGGESTIONS: Merge your inner Life with your outer one. Restore balance with meditation and refresh your soul. To explore stillness inside yourself, calmly breathe in a sense of appreciation. Watch your breath. Surrender and feel your whole being and your potential expand. Restore balance in your body by sticking to a healthy diet. Rediscover the flavors and savors of home-made gastronomic cooking. Also, be mindful of your choices. You buy something at reasonable price you can afford or you splurge and become broke. Dignity or degradation of your finances; your decision!

MORE SUGGESTIONS==Avoid addictive tendencies such as compulsive shopping, over-eating, over-drinking. Many of you readers told me in your numerous emails that retreating, reexamining your eating and sleeping patterns resting (30 minute afternoon nap), and sometimes crying followed by vigorous daily yoga exercise and a reenergizing massage combined with some soft-core socializing did plug the emotional leak. Meditation and stretching exercises have helped me cope with a recent loss of my dear 100 year old friend and mentor.

Yi-KING-KOIN== You will be proud for demonstrating strength of character. You will also be proud for being caring, thoughtful, sensitive, and helpful.

I CHING for JULY 27-28-29 RELATIONSHIPS== Become more conscious about the way you relate. Do your best to preserve a friendship. You are about to lose a dear friend. And that loss would be irreparable damage. Actually, I am not so sure about that. Maybe, the break-up is what you need. Fly on your own. Fly high with the Eagles, the Condors, and the Angels!

ATTENTION: Encounters with the HORSE, DRAGON, RAT and PIG will be especially interesting. TIGER born people should think twice before entering a relationship with a RABBIT or a OX. If there are two TIGER born people in the house, however, one of them might have to go. Finally, did you know that, most warm-hearted and generous TIGER born people make ardent lovers, caring partners. Many TIGERS enjoy being addicted to SEX big-time.

I CHING for JULY 27-28-29 FRIENDSHIPS== Because most TIGER born people are known to be charming, caring and sometimes generous, other people want to be friends with them. Because of their dynamic, active, and self-assured demeanor and thanks to their inborn magnetic personality, most TIGERS tend to attract admirers and develop loyal friendships. They seem to avoid conventional, non-progressive, and conservative people.

COMPATIBLE FRIENDS: Aries, Libra and Gemini are fairly good for almost any type of association, but Sagittarius is the best, especially in marriage. Scorpio or Capricorn are good for a business partnership. Most TIGERS get along fairly well with Leo if there are no domination/power games. Taurus and Virgo are too traditional, too cautious, while Scorpio is too domineering even though many TIGERS do appreciate the dynamic personality and excellent mentality of this zodiac sign.

WORKABLE STRATEGIES: By improving the way you communicate and relate with others, by having social networks of influential contacts and developing more committed connections with influential people, cherishing friendship with interactive and interesting companions can help you get more out of Life; more business, more friends, more significant relationships with self-assured and supportive friends who will be more than willing to respond positively and guide your progressive evolution. Luckily for many of you, your Life will be back on track by OCTOBER!

I CHING for JULY 27-28-29 MONEY== Chinese tradition says that TIGERS are constantly thinking and working hard in term of “more” so that more in Life goes their way. Consequently, most TIGER born people easily make money, and need not worry about the lack of it: just when they fear the money is gone, more seems to show up However, you might miss a crucial work opportunity (high income) due to your lack of preparation. Not being adequately trained and experienced could hamper your chances to be employed during a soon to come job interview. This dreadful situation could create enormous nearly unbearable pressure on you and risks remaining unchanged until you come up with sufficient proof of capable performance that can be objectively verified and measured. I am sure you deserve a better fate than ending up in a dead-end job and lifestyle. No one can stop you from becoming successful but yourself. Finally, most TIGER born people are very ambitious, and thanks to their self confident administrative and leadership qualities they should have no problem earning money between mid-SEPTEMBER and next DECEMBER. Fact is that most TIGERS are opportunists and self-starters. Either through instinct or clever sensing of where opportunity lies, they seem to be more prone to receive tangible rewards, fatter paychecks, and promotions. It's about time thing start to pick up in your Life!

WORKABLE STRATEGIES== No matter how often or how badly you have fallen out of luck in your past, astrologically speaking you are the ultimate survivor (most TIGER born people are. Most but not all. Some TIGERS are little kittens, little pussy cats). So what to do? Well, interact with others in a networks of supportive friends. YES, stay connected with sincere people who, for example, could help you if you were to lose your job during AUGUST and if you were to remain unemployed until APRIL 2011. What would do, again? How would you survive? Moving back with your older parents? They don't need additional problems. They have enough of their own. Join with other survivors who went through similar challenges. Create a Survival Think Tank. No doubt, you will come up with an acceptable solution. Think smart. Act smarter. Others did it. Why not you? YES, why not you? Are you a pussy cat or a real Tiger? Prove it. I dare you to write to me and tell me how you survive the coming AUGUST Mega Financial Storms. For you will. No doubt about it. I am so proud of you because you are a True Survivor!

Yi-KING-KOIN== Stand up for yourself.

I CHING for JULY 27-28-29 WORK== Finding your purpose in Life is about being in tune with who you really, finding what you love to do the most, searching for what gives your Life meaning and living it with passion. So what is your purpose in Life? Why? Well, a radical turnaround might force you to revise your approach and redraw your short-term plans so that you can rebuild new structures possibly in a much different setting or environment. What is your turnaround strategy? You will urgently need one next AUGUST. So, if you are in a dead end situation where you are not truly happy, then it is time to start looking for a better opportunity.

WORKABLE STRATEGIES for JULY 27-28-29== One way to live life to the fullest is to pick the career path you would enjoy most. Many career opportunities are available, what's your winning strategy? However, do not leave your job if you do not have any valid reason. If you have to, learn a new trade. Find a more decent job even if you have to move far away possibly in another state or country. Your gain? Getting out of the unemployment line before the awful month of AUGUST. Your gain, again? Getting the career that matters most to you while earning decent income in a job that perfectly fits your innermost desires in a field you care about. Astrologically when? Possibly between mid-SEPTEMBER and early DECEMBER. Not before then? Astrologically, I doubt it!

I CHING for JULY 30-31 WORK== This is a tense and unstable time when what seemed to be secure ceases to feel as safe. Caution is advised. Some of you might become unemployed either by quitting your job (not recommended), being laid off, or fired. What to do? If you focus on strengthening your survival skills, most probably your Life won’t fall apart. Indeed, if you are recently unemployed, retired, between jobs, or looking for work, the obvious solution is to network. So, to stand on your own, experience new beginnings, and reborn to better times, make a break with the past. Relocate. New contacts through networking will help you restructure your basic foundation. Yes, start with the foundation, and build up a better Life in a different environment. Your best shot? A small to medium size town preferably one with a university. Get retrained. If you are alone, chances are that you will meet a Life partner in that new town!

WORKABLE STRATEGIES== If there are problems, there are solutions. Be more alert to the problems. Solutions are available. Accept with courage whatever comes your way. Whatever you try to do in Life, give it your best every day. Job well done, should always be your driving force. Again, hope for the best but plan for the worst. Whatever happens in AUGUST, prove that you are a problem solver. By mid-September you will blossom in the sunshine.

AUGUST: Your personal Life, your relationship, financial, and occupational lives might be going through a radical transformation. During this challenging period, be more aware of the impermanence of all things that surround you. Keep in mind that if you are presently experiencing uncertainty and if you don’t like being in total darkness, astrologically speaking, fundamental changes are about to occur between AUGUST 3 and 31. To remedy the situation, focus on attaining greater material stability and financial security. Remember, the road to fulfillment is usually a long and challenging one but your potential is boundless!

SEPTEMBER: You might feel quite motivated to undertake a totally fresh start possibly far away from your birth roots. Expect encouraging support and progressive developments between SEPTEMBER 18 and OCTOBER 20. No doubt you will take pleasure in what you will accomplish during NOVEMBER and DECEMBER.

Heaven's harmony during SEPTEMBER (relationships): So many of you say, you want to become more satisfied and happier in Life, so during this beautiful SEPTEMBER, Life seems to provide you with an opportunity to develop social interaction, to look for new people with common interests but outside your immediate circle, and possibly, to get involved in networking groups, and establish closer connection with others, to relate and exchange sentimentality with your intimate friends. How will you do ALL that? Well, you could find new friends by joining a social club of like-minded people, by volunteering, by planning outings with close friends or acquaintances, by accepting party invitations and by starting inviting people to visit you more often. Finally, to form a happy, joy-filled partnership, first connect to that Love reservoir within your Self, and then have a common sense approach based on trust, respect, and humor. It is always good to remember that your main tools in your 'friendship box' are an engaging smile, honesty, silent listening and effective communication. By improving the way you communicate and relate with others, you will build and strengthen friendships and you will most probably get more out of Life; more business, more friends, more significant relationships of all kinds. So, if you are more open and receptive, chances are that you fill feel a lot happier. To be happy, that’s what you want, don’t you? It's just a question of time. Smile!

Earth's harmony during SEPTEMBER (money-work): You stand on the threshold of a very progressive period (mid-SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 8). To access the land of financial stability, enhance your skills and sharpen your working techniques (divide your activities between what is really most important to you and what is much less important). Focus your energy on seeking out and finding viable alternative solutions (innovative approach) to whatever limiting obstacle (unexpected upsetting personal problems) that might be blocking your progress at the moment. So, you want to move forward but you meet resistance and restrictions? Before you blindly forge ahead though, current astrological transits urge you to reassess your personal situation, focus on deciding what short term goal you want to materialize in the short term (short-term only), reorganize your priorities along more realistic lines. The following is an example only: to avoid finding yourself unprepared for (let's say) losing your job (lack of income) it would be wise to set-up a survival budget now. Determine what expenses should be trimmed. Since your income would be reduced temporarily but considerably, spend your savings on bare necessities only. To keep afloat, consider selling non-necessary items. And please-o-please, stop hoping for a miracle solution to happen. It won’t. One thing to remember is that any rash-rush action (quitting your job, leaving your home or partner) will prove counterproductive. Remember that stability and security necessitate patience and firm determination; and now is the time to be ultra-smart!

SUGGESTION: Visualization is a great practice for bringing the mind to focus on abundance. Through visualization, you can consciously open your mind in receptivity and concentrate your attention on the object of your desires. It is important that you know the exact outcome you wish for. To do so you must draw a specific mental picture. For instance, if you are looking for new companions, mentally see your Self being surrounded by happy friends. If you seek material, intellectual or spiritual abundance, visualize yourself surrounded by the good things of Life. If you are engaged in some business or profession, mentally see the presence of satisfied clients who repetitively come back for more business!

Finally, many emailers do tell me that by faithfully doing the Abundance meditation (click on meditation of the left sidebar) the Universe has been quite generous with them where love, work, and money are concerned. Give it a try right now!

Heaven's harmony during OCTOBER (relationships): General prospects for loving relationships and friendships are much brighter during this period. If you are willing and available, if you have been without anyone for an extended period, someone who shares your values and meets your standards (cheerful, easygoing, and socially broad-minded) might come into your Life. Knowing that someone really cares about you makes your life worth living, right? It will also make your work activities more enjoyable, and potentially more profitable. So, you feel ready to be loved? If you are presently in a period of solitude and if you don’t like being alone, astrologically speaking True Love is available and yours to welcome. So, if you are available at the moment, chances are that you will match up with a loving and caring companion while doing some type of business/commercial transaction or by being involved in some sort of volunteer work in charity or community services. No matter how short-lived or how long this relationship will last, you will most likely carry the memory of it forever. Loyalty depends on mutual trust!

Earth's harmony during OCTOBER (money-work): Expect to be quite busy during OCTOBER. Why? Simply because, the astrological aspects for this particular month are a tremendous powerhouse of moneymaking energy. Indeed, this period heralds a drastic reorientation of your personal and occupational Life followed by a remarkable improvement in your quality of living. In other words, OCTOBER seems to be favorable to access a greater sense of financial stability. Do not pass up this rare chance to get expert advice. Remember, to create the very things you say you want and to make a nice living, your key strategy is well planned action. Don’t you feel that you are on your way to the wonderful, joy-filled Life you so justly deserve? Astrologically speaking, this strong possibility is quite apparent in your OCTOBER horoscope. Great!

Earth's harmony (money-work strategies for OCTOBER): To advance and progress, an experienced Career Coach could show you how to identify your strengths; explore career options and hidden job market, and find job openings. Value that expert's opinions. Remember, you have so much to offer the world, but the Universe will be abundant (recognition, a promotion, better income) if you show initiative, assertiveness and decisiveness. A "can do" spirit will make all the difference. Keep your expectations firmly planted into reality. So, if you believe in your potential, if you join forces with others, if you learn more advanced methods and techniques chances are that you will become more satisfied and happier. Before 2010 ends, there should be possibilities that you could not have even imagined a few months ago. Again, many emailers do tell me that by faithfully doing the Abundance meditation (click on meditation of the left sidebar) the Universe has been quite generous with them where love, work, and money are concerned. Give it a try righ now!

Tao's harmony during NOVEMBER (your Life in general):
The astrological aspects for NOVEMBER support the undertaking of a major turning point and fresh beginnings. A break with past limiting obstacles (unexpected upsetting personal problems) prepares many of you to materialize in tangible way a goal that was dormant in your mind for at least 2 years. Furthermore, creating the right attitude to improve your relationships, finances, and career will make the going worthwhile. What is the right attitude? Doing your best to have a ‘fuller Life’. To access some of the good things that Life has to offer, go ahead, and move forward in a new direction. It is your happiness that is at stake after all. A more productive, successful, and happy Life, that’s what you want don’t you?

NOVEMBER and networking: This is a most favorable month for interactive exchanges and for becoming a better performer. To do so, network. To cement relationships with coworkers,iinteract and connect in a more meaningful way. To build up a network of supportive contacts, show that you are interested. Listen attentively. Show that you care. Remember, your career success is in direct proportion to your communications skills. Creating a good impression on others will surely contribute to your enjoyment of Life!

Tao's harmony during DECEMBER (your Life in general):
If you have the impression that you have not arrived yet, well this DECEMBER is the ideal month to work your way out of a non-satisfactory Life situation and finally become the person you always wished to be. Do so, like what? Well, current astrological transits favor those who want to take risks. Indeed, this period is ideal to change jobs or careers. Jumping from one job to another will require detailed planning. Why? Quite often career shifts are painful and financially disastrous. Some people change careers to find the perfect job. That may be possible, but no job is ideal for long (company merger, downsizing, conflict with a co-worker). All jobs require care and nurturing. So, what is your plan? What are your next steps? What are your tools? To make your Life work, you absolutely need to stand on your own. There has to be a better way. And that better way is about having the tools that will empower you to access betterment. The same reasoning applies to the betterment of your finances, or in your private and romantic Life, too. To live a more constructive Life, project the image of a person who is loving, secure and emotionally loyal. Of course, you are not going to be successful all the time (and overnight) but I am sure that most of you are strong enough to face periodic failure, correct the problem, learn from mistakes, and move on. Remember, to get the best out of Life, share the best of yourself. Do it before 2010 ends!

SUGGESTION: If you are presently thankful for all of the love, peace, health, and prosperity that are manifesting in your Life chances are that it will keep on multiplying. 

Heaven's harmony during DECEMBER (relationships): During this last month of 2010, a new window of opportunity for romance is opening for those of you who are cheerful, easygoing, and socially broad-minded. Indeed, the Cosmic Forces have the perfect gift in mind for those of you who are willing to go ahead and take calculated risks to find a friendly supportive mate. So make the most of this opportunity that Spirit of True Love is presently sending your way. This experience of making solid contacts, developing friendships, sharing good feelings with a trusted friend, and sharing hugs will be most rewarding, and this before 2010 ends. You have the power to attract friends and romantic partners, don’t you? Of course you have!

SUGGESTION: Give yourself the gift of Self-Love, have an attitude of gratitude, and then watch your Life becoming blessed with increasing harmony. So, if you create and develop the right attitude (letting go of your fear of rejection and abandonment), if you flush out of your Life your so-called ‘lovers, friends’ and family members whose manipulative behaviors serve only to amplify your sense of worthlessness chances are that you will improve your relationships. This process involves the taking of major risks, you would say. Well, taking risks can be both painful and pleasurable. However, both are a necessary part of life. Without pain, we would not enjoy pleasure. So, go ahead, be open and receptive to the universal astral energies of True Love. I guarantee that it will dramatically improve all of your relationships with your Self and with others!

SUGGESTED MEDITATION: MEDITATION for inner peace.

FENG SHUI:
1- One effective yet simple remedy to shield your home from large or tall objects is to plant trees or shrubs around your house.

2- Dying plants or trees should be removed from your yard immediately because of the bad FENG SHUI they create.

3- To circulate and spread luck and prosperity, please use plants and crystals to help chi flow throughout a room and throughout your house.

4- Dried flowers give off excessive yin energy and should not be used in the home or office.

5- Use live plants as much as possible because they enhance chi movement and, like crystals and hollow bamboo stems, they seem to have the capacity to filter negative sha into positive chi.

6- Chinese tradition says that a crystal chandelier is a powerful source of yang energy which might attract money and success for an entire family.

7- Always energize the south corner in your home with red candles, the southwest with a pink quartz crystal, the west with a horseshoe or metal hangings, the northwest with a wind chime or a brass bell, the north with a fountain, the northeast with a ceramic bowl or figurine, the southeast with purple flowers, and the east with a potted plant or small tree.

8- If inside your home there is a fireplace or a wood stove, hang a mirror above the fireplace and place live plants pottery and ceramic pieces on each side of it to prevent beneficial chi from escaping up the chimney.

9- Displaying images or a drawing of a crane or of a deer symbolizes longevity; of an elephant, good fortune; of a tiger, protection; of a green dragon, phoenix, and turtle, good fortune. Images of a white tiger are viewed as overbearing.

10- Hanging red tassels help retain chi energy.

Remember, FENG SHUI works if you work to make it work.
So, give your GOOD FORTUNE a chance to materialize!
