2010 Personal and Professional Achievements Star
The Newsletter of Dr. Simona Mainini
The yearly “star” for the so-called “professional and personal achievements” (PPA) is located this year in the East section of each house.
I am not talking about a person’s direction for professional achievements (that is a different one and changes based on your date of birth) or the “building construction energy”; I am referring specifically to the yearly energy that has come in on February 4th and is going to be housed there until February 3, 2011.
The PPA energy has the effect of making you very focus on your goals, makes your thinking sharp, and makes your overall attitude more ambitious. Because of this new- found “belly fire” people pursue their goals more aggressively and usually have great response and more success than they would otherwise.
So, now that we have established that it is a truly awesome “big deal”, how do we take advantage of it?
First of all we must identify the East section of our house (or office, since it is good for professional achievements as well). I recommend using a compass, albeit a small one, but you must identify the magnetic East section of the house.
When you do that you’ll notice that the East section falls mostly in one of the rooms (or corners) of the house. This could be a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, doorway, garage, etc.
If it is the entry door, great! That is probably one of the best locations to have the professional and personal achievement star located because the entry door is the “Qi mouth” for the entire house. Meaning: every time you go in and out from that doorway you “bathe” in that energy– which is good because it energizes your aura effortlessly on your part while at the same time “spreading it throughout the house.” This is an ideal scenario because all occupants of the house will be benefiting from it, especially if they use this door.
If the PPA is located in your garage (and connected to the house) its effects will be similar to those at the entry door, and in some cases even more so because most people tend to use the garage to access their house rather than the main entry. If this is what you do but your PPA is at your main entry this year, I suggest you make an effort to start using the front door more instead, at least until next February.
If the PPA is in the master bedroom this is also one of the favorite locations for it because it means that the owners (or renters) will have the benefit of “cuddling” in it for at least 8 hours per night (more or less, depending on how much time you spend there). If you’re married it means that both you and your spouse will be benefiting from it, which will reflect in both your personal and professional lives.
If it is in the children’s bedroom it is going to be just as good for them as it would have been for you. Often children whose bedroom houses the PPA perform better in school than they did before and often get involved in extracurricular activities that require some competitive edge. Try to take advantage of that so they can discover more of what they can accomplish in life. This PPA energy will only last one year, so they may revert to their “usual self” after that if they haven’t found something stimulating and interesting enough to keep their attention and ambition going during this new energy change now.
A home office is another great area for the PPA. The more time you spend in it the more motivated you’ll become, so if you spend long hours at your computer or in another activity there this makes it a perfect location. Also, if your home office is not in the East portion of your house or office and you wish to take advantage of this energy you can set up a temporary work desk where it is located and relocate your laptop there. Try it and see if you get your “mojo” going. Also remember when you do this to set up your sitting area in a power position, meaning no open window or door at your back.
Living room, dining room, kitchen and bathrooms: these locations unfortunately are not ideal for the PPA, mostly because it is not easy for you to make use of these rooms to the best advantage. The kitchen in particular is not ideal because the “fire” from the stovetop decreases PPA’s effectiveness. You’d only be able to benefit from PPA energy in any of these areas proportionally to the amount of time you spend in them. But perhaps by setting up a temporary working station in your living room or on your dining room table you can benefit more.
SIDE EFFECTS: If you’re naturally very ambitious and competitive, PPA energy will make you even more so-- often so much so that you’ll find yourself becoming almost “bossy.” If you notice you are, or your spouse or a friend warns that you are, just chill a bit and take it easy. If it is becoming a much bigger problem then that, plan to have a small water feature placed in the East area. PPA is a metal energy and having some water in place here will soften its sharp effects. If the water still isn’t enough, plan to spend less time in that area so its effects will be diminished. (Just until next February.)
