So, I've been thinking about moving away from home, which also means interior decoration and arrangement, which lead me into Feng Shui.
Now, according to Eastern Zodiac I'm a Fire Rabbit/Cat. My Kua number is 2 (West). I'm born in September, 17:00 O'clock, Autumn.
The base values of the Rabbit/Cat sign is Wood (which is the creator of/eaten by Fire), East and March, 05:00 O'clock and Spring. The complete opposite of my birth alignments (well, at least it wasn't Water).
At least they're both Yin?
Anyway, on the Western Zodiac I'm equally confused, you see, my Sun Sign is Virgo, the Maiden. So which two Conjunction Suns do I have? Venus and Mars. You know. The goddess and god of sex who got caught mid-coitus and paraded around Mount Olympus.
Other Suns that I have? Saturn (Y'allo there, time god that is the progenitor of all gods), Neptune (You raped Medusa, you're officially on my shit-list) and Pluto (despite the Persephone thing, he's my favourite of the three brothers, but that ain't saying much, considering that his competition is Jupiter and Neptune).
Oh, and I also have an Ascendant Sun that says that I'm contrariwise. Yeah. You think.
My Moon Sign is Capricorn, which means that I went from human woman to a fish-goat thing. Apparently this means that I'm emotional but hides it beneath a veneer of cold competence, so it's agreeing with Ascendant and Eastern Zodiac there.
Oh yeah, here's the rest of the planets:
Mercury: Virgo (Hey, it actually matches up! Yay for clear messages!)
Venus: Virgo (Contrariwise, again.)
Mars: Virgo (Lulz to be had.)
Jupiter: Aries (So, leading god with leading zodiac.)
Saturn: Sagittarius (The arms of a clock-face, maybe?)
Uranus: Sagittarius (Uranus was the guy whose cut-off genitals produced Venus...)
Neptune: Capricorn (The fish-goat thing is probably one of Neptune's kids or something.)
Pluto: Scorpio (Death and deadly creepy crawlies apparently is a very sexy star combination.)
Lilith: Leo (Lilith is a hypothetical black moon of Earth.)
Chiron: Gemini (Remember all those stories about twin terrors and their poor teacher? Yeah.)
Ceres: Sagittarius (Harvest and hunting, why not?)
Pallas: Scorpio (Sensual Scorpio and Virgin War Goddess?)
Juno: Pisces (Marriage and fishes.)
Vesta: Cancer (Fire and crabs. Or, alternatively, fire and moon.)
So I've got lots of Virgo and Sagittarius. Who are symbolized by a virgin and an arrow. Yeah, real subtle, stars. But really, according to my (free) chart, I'm supposedly Sensually sexy/cold maiden all rolled into one.
According to the houses, I will be happy when I'm old, and should be an adventurer-artist by trade. Yet I'm not a traveller, and I'm always going to search for something better.
So, I'm going to be Indiana Jones with a paintbrush?
As you can see, I'm getting some conflicted messages here. Anything else?
Oh yeah, I'm born in the North, but my cosmic birth direction (both Eastern and Western) should be South.
So, should I put the aquarium against the South-East wall of the office, or against the South-West wall of the living room? Should I paint the bedroom green or purple? Is it bad qi to have the office and living room in the same room? How about the sea-view, should I choose an apartment with South, South-East or South-Western views of the sea? In what corner should I put the stove? The air-cleansing palm tree?
WAIT! it gets better! If you count Ophiuchus into the Zodiac? I'm not a Virgo, I'm a Leo. And the above Western Zodiac stuff changes.
Well, if I get apartment 13 on the 4th floor, maybe it wasn't meant to be. Or maybe it was and my contrariwise cosmic nature will turn those two numbers lucky for me.
So, anyone else tried to interpret Feng Shui for their own home?
