Summary for year 2010:

The best months for the west are February, May, July, September and November.

Take extra care in the months of March, April, August, October and December and check back here to further analyse these months.

You can also place a moving (yang) water feature in the west in 2010. To get a better idea of whether to use water for wealth it is a good idea to construct a flying star chart of your home and then decide.

Enhancement, Summary and Advice:

• A brass Wu-Lou is advisable for a bedroom that falls into the west along with all shades of blue, black, grey or charcoal colours. This is especially so if you are not in good health and if you cannot buy a wu lou place a heavy round object close to your bed but avoid candles or colours red, pink, orange, purple or any fire colours.
  
• Place a wealth protection talisman in the form of ten auspicious i-ching Chinese coins tied with red ribbon in a certain order (Xing Yun Qang); this is so important in 2010 and if you cannot buy one, use ten loose Chinese coins in a row but do not attempt to tie red ribbon on them as they must be tied in a very special order to obtain the most influential power.
  
• Avoid candles or fire colours like red, pink, purple, orange or burgundy in the west in 2010, blues, blacks, grey or charcoal are good colours to use.
  
• Metal objects are good to place in the west in 2010.
  
• If the youngest female is weak and/or unhealthy be careful if extending or refurbishing the west of your home or office in 2010, it could cause them problems.
  
• Place creative enhancements like displaying an abacus, calligraphy set, artist tools like canvas, brushes etc.
  
• Naturally not as powerful but round metal shapes are an alternative to using Feng Shui items but avoid sharp or menacing looking metal objects.
  
• Make sure you remove all the metal cures like the salt cures and six coin in a row from the 2009 cures from the west as this can cause many relationship problems if left.

Do not activate this area with loud noises, keep quiet and avoid building work or refurbishment although it is not too bad. Do not use the fire element or colours red, pink or purple. Keep doors closed. Place a Wu Lou, salt water cure, gold Toad, wealth ingot and six coins here along with metal ornaments. Use colours white, silver, gold or copper.

• Introduce some fire colours into the centre to balance the energies, a quick and easy way is using bed covers, rugs, table covers, sofa throws etc.

Water placement in 2010

As we entered period 8 (4th February 2004) the use of water outside is critical up until 2024, so a pond outside in the correct area can really work in your favour. You must not unless advised by professional Feng Shui Practitioner place water outside in the north-east up until 2024.

Outside water in 2010: Can be placed in the south-west or east, this is your primary and secondary wealth areas for the next sixteen years. In 2010 water outside in the southwest is very good but it would not be advisable to install a water feature this year though as the annual flying star is inauspicious although if you know what your natal chart (flying star chart) is and you also have a good facing star this would make a very powerful combination for wealth. Because the southwest is afflicted in 2010 I would not advise digging or disturbing the SW in 2010 but if you want to place a mobile water feature in the SW this is fine although still check with your Practitioner.

Indoor water for 2010: You can use a moving water feature or aquarium in the northwest or west in 2010. Do not use water in any other compass sectors unless you have had a professional Feng Shui consultation.

If you are using water you must make sure the water is clean and flowing and never allow it to become stagnant. Water is a very powerful enhancer and is the essence of Feng Shui (Shui meaning water) the Ch'i is caught by the water and cleansed (providing the water is clean) and distributed throughout your property.

Whilst the methods above are considered safe, there are many exceptions to the placement of water and as Master Practitioners and teachers. We use many more methods of water placement for wealth, education and relationship, these methods whilst extremely powerful can only be used with expert guidance and a full analysis of your property and land formations.
