Chinese New Year Astrology: Rat Metal

featured on The Flowerlounge Podcast

Anjie Cho

In this episode I talk with Anjie Cho, architect and feng shui educator about the upcoming Chinese New Year celebration, as we transition into the Metal Rat year. Anjie describes the overall quality of this new year, as well as the characteristics of each Chinese astrological sign, based on the year you were born. She shares what this year will hold in store for you and I share the flower essence blend that will be most supportive for you during the year. 

Anjie also shares some beautiful Chinese New Year’s rituals to intentionally invite in more auspicious energy into your life and space on Saturday, January 25th, 2020! Our conversation can help you be more aware of the changes that are occurring now and throughout 2020 through the lens of Chinese Astrology. Not intended to be superstitious, rather to help you be more intentional and self-aware -- and to give you new ways to celebrate this New Year! Happy Lunar New Year! 

WE TALK ABOUT:

  • The intersection between Chinese astrology & Feng Shui

  • Chinese astrology: how the year, month, day and time of day you were born are important

  • Your Chinese sign based on the year and what qualities it magnifies in you

  • Overall characteristics of the Rat year for 2020

  • Qualities of a Metal year and what to be aware of

  • How each of the 12 animal signs can best adjust or equip themselves for the Rat year - overall, will it be positive, neutral or challenging?

  • Feng Shui Cures for Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year), on Saturday, January 25th

  • Rituals to intentionally invite in more positive energy for the year

The Interview…

Q: Please describe your very first coming into awareness about Feng Shui.

A: Laura: I think the first time I truly became aware was over 20 years ago, I was single, and tired of the quality of men I was meeting. My friend suggested I try feng shui and lent me a book. I bagua-ed my space, made a few simple adjustments, and long story short, two weeks later I met the man who is now my husband. I decided I wanted to learn more about this amazing practice, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Anjie: Feng shui has always been in the background for me. Being aware of my environment, and the impact it has on me was part of my upbringing. This awareness was solidified in my twenties when I was looking for a way to bring more mindfulness and spirituality to my career. I took my first feng shui course at the Open Center in NYC and fell in love with the practice.

Q: What is your branch of Feng Shui? How have you made it your own?

A: We teach a traditional approach to Black Sect (BTB) feng shui. We have had the good fortune to have had amazing teachers and mentors, we honour them and H.H. Master Lin Yun, by closely following the lineage and passing on this collective wisdom to our students.

Because of our backgrounds in interior design and architecture, Mindful Design Feng shui School is a unique blend of mindfulness practices, traditional BTB feng shui, and business school.
