Are you about to open a bank account, get married, schedule surgery, or make a business presentation? The date you select can have a tremendous impact on the outcome.
In Asia, people don’t schedule major life events without first checking if a given date is auspicious, with the planets aligned in their favor for a given event. This may sound silly to Westerners, but classical Feng Shui calculations can assess whether a particular date has good energy for you and can support an auspicious outcome for the actions you take on that date.
In today’s economy, who can afford not to use every advantage to plan and move forward?
Here are 5 situations where Feng Shui date selection can make all the difference:
1. A major purchase A classical Feng Shui practitioner can signal an auspicious date by matching their energy with the right combination of planetary influences. For example, Feng Shui can reveal days when the combination of influences will virtually guarantee that the car he buys on those dates will cause him trouble, and could even lead to multiple accidents. Even if you’re not a reckless driver, an unfavorable purchase date can set the tone for what lies ahead.
Case in point: Someone I know bought a new Audi a few years ago. He had it checked regularly by an experienced mechanic. But a few months ago, the car’s engine completely broke down. Worse yet, the damage was caused by a small mistake on the mechanic’s part which voided the car’s warranty. The Audi owner was left with a completely worthless car for which he still owed a substantial amount of money. I went back and looked at the actual date of purchase and was surprised by what I saw: the stars on this day for this particular person indicated that the purchase would be “short-lived.”
2. Make investments If you buy investments on a day when there is money luck in your unique Feng Shui chart, you will earn money. If there is no money luck on your chart, you will NOT make any money, guaranteed. Yes, even in this volatile market, you can still make money IF you pick the right date. But on a bad day, even an election that is touted as a “darling child” of Wall Street will still result in a loss for you. That’s right: even if the price of that stock goes up over time, the energies of that investment are still tied to the unfavorable energies at work the day you bought it, and unavoidable circumstances in your own life will cause you to have to sell at a loss. . . Keep in mind that everything in the universe is energy, and while everything seems random, nothing is coincidental.
3. Surgery If you need surgery or a medical procedure, selecting an auspicious date is of the utmost importance. Suppose, for example, that you are going to have surgery to remove a cancerous or even a benign tumor. You don’t want to have that procedure on a day when certain energetic influences favor “regrowth.” Instead, you want to choose a day when the energies help ensure that the tumor does not grow back. Similarly, if you’re having plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons, you’ll want to select a date that indicates you’ll be pleased with the results and helps you avoid a botched nose job, facelift complications, or other unpleasant surprises. .
4. Business decisions Whether you’re submitting proposals, opening a bank account, hiring a partner, or even incorporating your business, date selection can give you a significant advantage. Even if you are doing advertising or marketing projects, certain planetary influences can facilitate your efforts and give you an advantage over your competitors. Let’s say, for example, that you want to incorporate your new business. Choosing an auspicious date is essential because it becomes the birth date of your business. Through Feng Shui, you can look ahead and find a date set for you with money-making potential. I had a client whose business was just limping along despite all the hard work he put into it. After looking at his incorporation date, I suggested that he close the old corporation and reincorporate on a new date. Less than 6 weeks after rejoining a date that had strong potential for money luck, her business began to thrive like never before. He wasn’t working any harder, but her business horoscope was now working with her instead of against her.
5. Renewal If you are thinking of reforming your house, the start date of the works is crucial. In India, there are even certain times during the year when no construction work takes place due to certain inauspicious energies. When you combine your own Feng Shui horoscope with planetary influences, certain dates can indicate energies that will attract long delays, shoddy construction, and disappointing results. You’ve heard horror stories where contractors run off with the money and leave the job unfinished. Taking the precaution of picking a “good” date can help prevent that from happening, and can help ensure improvements live up to your highest expectations.
In a nutshell: Your decisions and actions take on the energetic pattern of the days you are “born.” By taking the time to select auspicious days, you can literally make an appointment with prosperity.
