After the scorching summer months, monsoon brings the much needed respite and with it a feeling of regeneration as new trees, plants and seeds sprout and germinate through the seasons of winter. The beautiful colours and the soft winds together with overcast skies, bring sudden rain creating feeling of joy The energy of the home transforms completely and with it our thinking too. The energy referred to as Chi in Feng Shui is said to be the breath of the universe or life force. When the energy is low we feel down and have lack of focus in all that we do. On the basis of the five element analysis in Feng Shui, the seasons have a strong impact on our physical body and mental attitude. In Feng Shui astrology and the science of divination known as “I - ching” the primary consideration is the season and it is said that for all analysis, the “Season is supreme.” To everything there is a season and the five elements in Feng Shui relate as fire to summer, metal to autumn, water is winter and wood to spring while the element earth mediates between them. Everything including relationships has a seasonal cycle and we should honour every phase. If relationships have been passionate in early stages during summer and you find them going quieter don’t be dismayed and force things back. During the rain phase, couples enjoy the quiet contentment of deep emotion and can spend an evening happily engaged in separate activities barely speaking. This will eventually turn into wood phase which would make the relationships to move on. During monsoon times we can brighten up the place and also take a look at our wardrobe to adapt colours in the décor and dress to boost our internal Chi energy.
