Chitra Mahesh

JANUARY 19-25

ARIES (20 March – 20 April)

With the appearance of the Moon, there are chances that you could undergo mood swings and also disturbances to your peace, thanks to the way thoughts influence you. The Eight of Pentacles indicates hard work and adequate compensation for all that you do. And you do work hard to ensure that all those dependent on you are taken good care of. Certain things can enhance your life when you decide to keep family photos in the children’s bedrooms. Use calm furnishings in bedrooms.

TAURUS (20 April – 21 May)

You will be surrounded by those in committed relationships. It could also augur the start of a new friendship. Be prepared to meet someone who can be a wonderful companion or like a best friend. The Lovers card and the Devil show this – but once it comes, it feels like this is what you want, which is questionable. Mirrors can play an important role in your life if placed well. To enhance clear, bright Chi’ flowing, use mirrors that are clean, clear and one piece of glass.

GEMINI (21 May – 21 June)

There are likely to be big changes. It can feel destructive and disruptive, but this is for the good. This could be something to do with relationships that can take new directions. The Tower is what indicates this, and it takes time to get used to the changes. The Two of Cups, however, assures you that the primary relationships will flourish. Very special Chi' resides in the art you, friends and family members create. Bring an extra spark into your home by displaying such art.

CANCER (21 June – 23 July)

There is the presence of a strong, clear-headed individual who is guiding or behind your ventures. The King of Swords has to be your go-to person who can make most of your problems seem like nothing. The Nine of Wands shows your consistent passion and desire to succeed, and you are willing to put in hard work. When it comes to Feng Shui tips, don’t keep your guest room separate from the rest of the house. Make it beautiful, keep the door open and visit it regularly.

LEO (23 July – 23 August)

Right now, you need forbearance and patience to deal with an emotional situation. You can get overwhelmed and feel like you are drowning in it all. Keep the faith and remain neutral. Temperance is the card that comes to tell you this. There is light at the end of the tunnel. The King of Pentacles assures you of financial plenty and freedom. Usher Chi’ into your home by including a water feature or items that symbolise water in your front garden.

VIRGO (23 August – 23 September)

Now is a good time when the children in the family, youngsters, are doing well. They are foraying into new directions and are on the path to achieving new frontiers and interesting collaborations. The Page of Pentacles is an indication of all this. And this applies to you too, where you will get recognition and attention for the work you do - if you do. A Feng Shui tip is that wind dancers like whirlgig, weather vane, mobiles, prayer flags and banners lift and invigorate the Chi’ inside your home.

LIBRA (23 September – 23 October)

The Eight of Wands suggests ambition, power and the drive to achieve goals. You have multiple things, and you do each one of them well and creatively, too. But concentrate on one thing. The Ace of Pentacles shows money, opening many avenues and pathways for more to come. You are well supported by the universe. The Feng Shui tip is to make the bedroom as pleasing as possible. Shut or screen bathroom and closet doors. Best colours are skin tones, browns, pinks, yellows, reds and violet!

SCORPIO (23 October – 22 November)

Children will do well. That said, there could also be additions to the family, and that will bring joy and celebrations. The Sun card signifies brightness and light all around you. Make the best of this time, as the Three of Swords suggests. Follow the head and not the heart. Be conscious of your thoughts and self-conversations. Feng Shui tip is that do not build a room above the garage. If you must, make it an active room like a study or office space.

SAGITTARIUS (22 November – 22 December)

You are on the go for making new deals, collaborations and other activities. The Page of Swords is a driven person who knows that it takes clarity and proper follow-up to be able to meet the goals and targets. The Four of Swords shows that while the work is set in motion, it will take about four to five months to take shape. The Feng Shui tip is that cleaning your home removes not just dirt and clutter but also unhealthy energy. Burn candles and incense.

CAPRICORN (22 December – 20 January)

Like the Magician, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to. And that is the card that has come, sensing some hesitation about new plans. You must forge ahead with confidence. The King of Wands suggests that the strong person in your life who is not just ambitious but also clever must be taken seriously for the best outcomes. The Feng Shui tip is to organise your belongings and act as if everything is a living being and therefore deserves a good home.

AQUARIUS (20 January – 18 February)

Even when you feel somewhat alone and isolated, you are not. You have to look at all that is there. The Five of Cups shows a concentration on things that you feel are missing in your life. Justice is a card that assures that all that you rightly deserve will come to you – if not now, then sometime. What is yours will come. The Feng Shui tip is that lighting, including halogen lights, candles, oil lamps, fireplaces and natural sunlight, illuminates the Chi’ in your house.

PISCES (18 February – 20 March)

There is Divine Guidance in your life. If there is a Guru, then follow the teachings faithfully. The Hierophant comes to tell you that you are guided and guarded. The Nine of Pentacles shows you to be on top when it comes to financial matters and money accumulation. The Feng Shui tip is to design your master bedroom as a sensual place where all your senses are celebrated. Glowing colours, subtle lighting and lovely art will enhance all your emotional well-being.
