Again, I make no claims to being an expert on this... knowing the answers is what the experts get paid for! But we do have wonderful options today with the internet, so you might google some of the questions and see if you get some answers. I've always resolved my dilemmas by doing something that makes me feel better when I walk by whatever area is cluttered. There always seems to be a little something I can do, and that improvement gives me new energy when I walk by. And that, I figure, is good feng shui! As for sharing the space with other people, I hear you! I've been very lucky that my son generally keeps his room clean. But I did this past cycle work with him to clear out some of the clutter, since his closet was in the helpful people section of the home. Good questions MF!

Thanks for your post on this -- i went out and bought TMA a couple of days ago. A big deal for me as it's out of my budget right now for magazine purchases. Simone's article was indeed inspiring and interesting as I have my north node in 11"56 Cancer in my 2nd house (however, the eclipse fell in my 3rd house). My question is this: what do you do when (i think) the area of the house corresponding to the new moon is the kitchen counter? that area will NEVER stay clean and/or empty...even if i allocate another place to put the recycling bottles, sponges, etc. The cabinets in that corner are fairly organized. Also, another area being affected is behind my front door (the front door to our apartment is the far right corner). Is it proper Feng Shui to put items behind the door, books, etc? Its the 'knowledge/wisdom' area, right? there is a bookshelf there now. i have to say i'm not so keen to put my vision map in the living room for all to see! One last thing: what do you do when you live with other people? i don't want to become the keeper of all things in the house-for example, its too exhausting trying to be on top of my son to keep his room clean. Plus, with being an artist, mom and having a job i just don't have the time or inclination. But i DO want things to flow better in all our lives. i think it was mentioned to do a composite chart but i would like to keep things as simple as possible initially and see what happens. One day soon, i'll be able to get Simone's personalized feng shui report, but until then i'm happy to hear from anyone with suggestions. Thanks again for a wonderful blog. Namaste ~MF Hi Dana!

It's reported to be as big as earth. It puts Jupiter's size in perspective since the hole appears pretty small. Diane Hi Dana,

Is there astrological significance to the hole in Jupiter’s
atmosphere that happened a couple of days ago? It’s
reported to be as big as earth. It puts Jupiter’s size in
perspective since the hole appears pretty small.

Ordered a subscription to TMA today as have been putitng that off for awhile (with Pluto & Saturn on me you can imagine). Thank you for all your work and the site and the reports..always lovely and inspiring.

I was thinking of the 8 sides :). Doing my clean up of my living space today...a motorhome as we are on the road. Then I have some feng shui routines for the new moon, and some astrology rituals. I have a lot of Cancer in my chart so this eclipse should give me a spark. Susie Thanks Dana,

The eclipse falls in my 1st house, but I don't see which part of the bagua would correspond to the 1st house,(the self, our personality, appearance) And, that made me wonder how we fit the 12 houses of the astrology chart into the 8 sections of the bagua.
