Since we are all spending a lot more time in our homes than ever before, this the perfect time to have a Feng Shui Consultation for your home (and home office) to make sure the New Year will support your living and working environment at its best.

Here are my key tips on how to prepare your house and yourself to receive the prosperous vibrancy of this New Year:

FENG SHUI: SPRING BEGINS TODAY – LI CHUN

February 3, 2021 by Simona Mainini

The Li Chun (also called, Spring Stand or End of Yin, Beginning of Yang) is the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It is one of the 4 LI or 4 Beginnings, it is based on the Solar Calendar, and it marks the official beginning of Spring.

It is also considered the beginning of the Feng Shui year. This year it occurs on February 3 at 11:08 pm.

This is when the official energy of the New Year takes hold and begin to manifest the Yang of the New Year, affecting us thru our houses, office and other spaces where we live and work.

The official Chinese New Year (which is based on the Lunar Calendar) will be on February 12.

On Spring Stand, the Yearly Trigram changes. This Year, our buildings are ruled by the Qian Trigram, which bring good leadership, as well as personal and career achievements.

On that day, we update the Feng Shui corrections in our homes and offices, as we discussed during our 2021 Year of the OX Forecast last month. If you missed the Live Webinar presentation, you can get the playback video at www.FengShuiTrainingCenter.com

I’m very much into Feng Shui now. I’m already looking forward to the next class!"

May the new year bring you much happiness and prosperity. You are a beautiful Lady and an inspiration to all!"
- Shirley K. B., ASID

"I really enjoyed your class and got a lot out of it… I wanted to send my thanks and let you know how much I and the other students appreciated being in your class."
- L.L., UCLA Ex., Master in Interior Architecture Program

Thank you again for an awesome class...I can't tell you how much I learned and how much I enjoyed it! My goal is to go into set design and having this knowledge on my resume will be such a great addition. Thank you so much!
- C. H., UCLA Ex., Master in Interior Architecture Program

"I'd like to take this opportunity to let you know that I really feel I found the right teacher.
My journey to find the Feng Shui teacher started about four years ago, and during that time I've tried taking a few classes online, but those weren't good fit for me. I was looking for a Feng Shui teacher who can explain science/Physics part of Feng Shui, and I finally found your course! I feel that Feng Shui is a powerful tool we can use to make a world a better place, and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to learn about it. I can't wait to be ready to work on Feng Shui projects!"
- Yuka H., San Jose', CA

“Thank you again for such a wonderful class series. I learned so much and am excited to implement what I have learned.”
- Payal P., Interior Designer, Chicago, IL

“Dr. Mainini, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the class. Your class has become one of my favorite classes that I have ever taken. The subject seems so fascinating, exciting, new, and terrifying. It's making me want to continue learning more about the subject. I often find most classes a challenge to get through and follow, but I find myself glued to your every word, which is usually extremely difficult for me. Thank you again and I look forward to learn more from you."
—O.H., Interior Designer, Beverly Hills, CA

"Hi Dr. Mainini, I really enjoyed the Feng shui class on romance.
I immediately went out and got my flowers in the right section of my house. And it has been crazy .... I even had to take the flowers down for a week because it was too much.
I will keep you posted!!!"
- Danica F., Los Angeles

"I just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying the video self study online course very much! I´ve been traveling a lot so it has not been that easy to progress as fast as I´ld like, but I am advancing nevertheless. Any way I just wanted to let you know that I´m doing the assignments and enjoying the classes greatly! From Colombia I send my regards.”
—Claudia G.T., Desegno y Harmonia, Bogota, Colombia

“I feel like my readings have greatly improved in the last couple of years. I think it's a good idea to require students to read lots of buildings - mistakes and all - because I would not be at this point if I hadn't read so many buildings. I am now quite confident that the readings I have done match the experience of the people who live in them. Especially for people who have lived in the house for many years.”
—T. B., Civil Engineer, Santa Cruz, CA

“Your insights are amazing, and one can understand how masters work a lifetime to learn the art of Feng Shui.”
-P.R., Thousand Oaks, CA

“I am so glad that I signed up for your class. It is by far more comprehensive than I had even expected. It is perfect for my interior design profession. Thank you.”
—L.H.H., Interior Designer, Connecticut

“I feel quite fortunate to have found you as a teacher, for I first looked into Feng Shui about 15 years ago and have continued to do so on and off over the years. What I found out myself did not sit well with me as ‘authentic teachings,’ and so I went on with other things. But your approach is absolutely what I was looking for. Thank you for teaching this knowledge!”
—S. O., Architect, N.Y.

“I want to say how much I love the Feng Shui for Architecture class. Your approach, which is much more professional and practical than most Feng Shui books I have read, suits me perfectly. I looked on my bookshelf after class the other night and noticed that I have 6 Feng Shui books, 8 books on Chinese Medicine and the 5 elements, and 3 books on Vastu. Finally, I feel very fortunate that I have found you as teacher!”
—T. B., Civil Engineer, Santa Cruz, CA

“Yes, I really enjoyed learning about Feng Shui and it all makes more sense now when I see people and the way they live. I already spoke to my clients about the changes they need to do and it was really fun working with them and seeing their improvements. I have had a few great things happen in my life recently too after making the Feng Shui changes and I'm looking forward to our next session and learning more.“
-T. H. S., Interior Designer, Agoura Hills, CA

“The program was great and covered even more than I expected. There was so much information that will serve me well in dealing with my clients. Very glad I joined! Thank you.”
—L. C., Interior Designer, Studio City, CA

“Thank you so much for an amazing learning experience. Working the formulas is fun, like completing a sudoku puzzle, and interpreting the information is challenging, yet very rewarding. Your insights are amazing, and one can understand how masters work a lifetime to learn the art of Feng Shui.”
-P.R., Thousand Oaks, CA

“I have really enjoyed the class. I've wanted to get an accurate understanding of Feng Shui for a long time. Thank you!”
