The Energies in October 2023
I wish I had some great news for you, but all we can do, is to be careful and make the best possible. The heat is still up as the fire element is still under pressure and the metal element, which stands for law and order is actually not existing.
As for this entire Rabbit year 2023, the energies are really fast, unconcentrated and running in all directions. There is not a dull moment.
This year of 2023 is also the last year in a 20-year cycle and next year we will start a new energy cycle of empathy and hearty expressions beginning with the energetic and very positive Dragon; meaning, there is hope for a new beginning and a good turn of events.
But meanwhile we have to go through this transition of time and year. Always, when energies are changing from year to year and especially from the 20-year period to another, we are experiencing worldwide incident after incident.
So, let’s have a look at the constellation of this month’s energies and see what’s going on.
We are starting on October 8 the Water Dog month in the Water Rabbit year.
To the Rabbit of the year:
The Rabbit is super energetic, fast and easily irritated. It is the hyperactive among the Zodiac signs and we can feel the lack of concentration and the fast moving of actions around us. The Rabbit belongs to the wood element and in combination with the water element of the year, the Rabbit has the support of the water and therefore is strong and capable.
And as you know already, all Year or Zodiac animals are also only impressions of the five elements: the Rabbit belongs to the Wood element.
The Dog of the October month belongs to the Earth.
In the 5 Element cycle each element should be supported and support the following. In this month we have 2 water, 1 wood, 0 fire, 1 earth and 0 metal elements.
The main points this month are:
- The Metal (0 Metal elements in the cycle), even nurtured by the weak Earth, which is itself under pressure of the Wood, is weakened by the 2 Water elements. This situation shows that there is no law and order and it is an attack on culture, heritage, tradition and spirituality.
- The Wood (1 Wood element in the cycle), with the support of Water, is quite strong, which means, there will be many spontaneous actions, but still not concentrated or well-planned.
- The Water (2 elements in the cycle) is strongest this month, as no other element is controlling it, which means people will start to think more and will have stronger will-power and more inner strength. We really need that!
- The Fire element (0 count in the cycle) is supported by the Wood, but under pressure of the water and the earth, which means again, lots of sudden fires outbreaks, flight issues, electric shortcuts, internet problems and on the health side many heart- and blood related and inflammation issues.
- The weak Earth element (1 count in the cycle) has no support of fire and is under the attack of the wood, which shows again, our weakened support of stability and basic needs as food and housing.
We are in the Rabbit year and the Dog month, which are actually good friends together and as such maybe we will find some more peace of mind and common sense. The Dog symbolizes leadership and strength and its way of handling things is first of all by talking and discussing, but at a last resort the Dog will fight for his family and their rights. In this month’s constellation the Dog is not in a strong position and might easily get into the fighting mode. Dog is also connected to more accidents, so be aware and drive very carefully.
For the entire year 2023:
The Water element is the heavenly energy, the Wood element of the Rabbit, the earthly energy. Water is supporting Wood, that means heaven is supporting the earth and as such the actions happening around the world are following a heavenly plan, are supported or initiated by heaven. So, there is hope that there will be light after this period of darkness and craziness and let’s pray that a new time period will slowly start worldwide with positive and constructive ideas and common sensed deeds.
Feng Shui is: to be protected and to be in control!
The non beneficial energies this month are located in the East, NW, NE and North.
The best energies worldwide and at home will be in the SE and SW.
I always recommend to sleep with the head towards a good direction and good energies and while working, to have the good energies in our backs to support us.
You are invited to join our monthly free Zoom Shui seminar to learn more about your home and the corrections. (Every first Sunday in the month, free tickets are available via Eventbrite or contact us), now in English and in Hebrew.
This is part of our global community activity to stay connected and set our minds for positivity and love.
We are connecting our Facebook Group “Uchakra Community & Feng Shui Inspirations” page live during the regular Zoom Shui meeting.
In our group, in our website (FengshuiM.com) and in our YouTube channel (Anette Halfon) you will also find the recordings of our monthly sessions, in case you missed it.
As always, our Feng Shui Calendar is a very useful tool to be prepared for all options. Check at least the general problematic days (marked in red), not to schedule anything important there; and also learn your personal trouble days, not to plan crucial appointments (signing contracts, doctor’s appointment, operations or travelling…) on these days.
In October 2023, the most difficult days are the days of the Rat, Rabbit, Rooster (as in the whole year) and the Dragon.
On these days, drive very carefully, don’t take any chances and take it easy! This is especially important for all born in these years. You can also check the daily energies on the Feng Shui calculator on our website. (fengshuim.com)
Here is the list of the problematic days for each of you. Off course you will have to consult our Feng Shui calendar, which is an essential tool for everyone and each business on a daily basis.
