Career:
Career is your journey in Life and activities you love to do. The color is Black, the corresponding Element is Water, the body part is the Ears, and the area belongs to the Middle Son.

Mary Kathleen really likes her job. It is a job she upgraded to when she moved into this apartment. However, she feels she has gone as far as she can with it and is stuck in her career. It is not moving forward.
Kitchen: Mary Kathleen’s Career Gua falls in her kitchen. By nature, the kitchen is a mixture of Water and Fire. I’m going to add some Wealth/money suggestions to this Gua. In ancient times, if one had fire to cook food, to nurture the body, to gain strength and endurance to go out and work in the fields and to hunt and fish the food; that person was considered well-to-do. Fire came to represent money. Likewise, water is needed to supplement the food and/or to contain the fish to eat and it also can take you and your wares to market to sell them. Water also came to represent money. The kitchen is an important room in regard to money and Mary Kathleen’s kitchen just happens to be in her Career Gua. To metaphorically “double her money,” Mary Kathleen should hang a mirror above the stove. She was not too keen on that idea so I suggested she place a small 1-inch mirror behind the stove. When you make Feng Shui adjustments, you should like the adjustment and be comfortable with it. If you don’t like it or are uncomfortable with it, don’t do it – if you do, the adjustment will not work well for you. Intention is about 90% of the adjustment and the adjustment itself, is about 10%. Her “intention” for the placement of the 1-inch mirror behind the stove will be very powerful even though she will never see it. She needs to tend to her Fire to keep it burning. In today’s world that means she needs to clean and wipe off her stove every day whether it needs it or not. Metaphorically, she will be tending her Fire and tending to her money.
Doors are extremely important in Feng Shui. The front door is the mouth of Chi. Doors are also the mouths of the adults who live in a home. Our opportunities come to us through the front door. Mary Kathleen has some door issues at her house. Her front door sticks a little bit. Metaphorically, the energy/Chi is having a hard time getting into her life. Remember, in Feng Shui, our space reflects our life and our life reflects our space? Mary Kathleen feels like her career is stuck and it just so happens, her front door sticks. Hum, food for thought! Mary Kathleen has a rug in the hallway in front of her door. This is nice. She had a skeleton decoration left over from Halloween on the front door. Do dead people live here? She removed it immediately. There is a little wall with a 4-inch shelf in it by the front door. I suggested she place a vase with two flowers there, maybe a pretty picture behind it and a seasonal wreath on the outside of the front door. The energy/Chi comes up the stairs and will be attracted to the door – it will hang around and want to come to Mary Kathleen’s apartment. This will create a Ming Tang or “bright spot” or "life spot" as you enter her apartment. The vase and flowers will also help to support her Partnership goal. She needs to have a little bit of wood shaved off the bottom of the front door so it opens freely and clearly. She has an “arguing door” situation in the living room with the front and the closet doors. Upon closer look at the Bagua, she also has an arguing door situation with one of the storage closets and the bedroom door. I gave Mary Kathleen an “Arguing Door” adjustment she can do to correct this energy/Chi. When her partner comes into her life, she does not want “arguing energy” to be living in her apartment. There are doorways from the living room to the dining room, and another from the dining room to the back of the apartment. Both of these doorways used to have doors on them. The doors have been removed but the hardware is still there. The energy of these two doorways is confused. Because the hardware is still there, the doorway still thinks it’s a door. (We are talking about energy – not that the door actually thinks!) If Mary Kathleen were to remove all the hardware and re-make the doorway into just a passageway – that will correct the issue. Short of that, she can do a few of things to adjust that energy:
1. She can hang a crystal in the center of each door frame
2. She can hang a bell along side of each door frame
3. She can hang a decoration in the center of each door frame (A mistletoe kissing ball at Christmas?!)
4. If she likes a more subtle adjustment, she can use a red marker and make a small dot in the center of each door frame.

As she makes each adjustment she should use the Three Secrets of Reinforcement.
Her biggest door issue however, is in the kitchen. The back door to the apartment has been nailed shut! It cannot be opened from the outside hallway nor can it be opened from the kitchen. This is not good for a few reasons.
There is the safety issue. If there is a fire, Mary Kathleen does not have an alternate way out of her apartment. This is a door and it should be used. It is the back door. The energy comes in the front door, meanders through the apartment and then is “stuck.” It cannot get out. It is “stuck” in her Career Gua. Mary Kathleen feels that her Career is “stuck.” If she cannot get the owners of the building to open this door so it can be freely used, using the Three Secrets of Reinforcement, she can do a number of things to un-stick the energy:
1. She can/should place a full length mirror on the door. This energetically creates a back door.
2. She can hang a bell or wind chime by the door to create the movement energy. (Inside the kitchen or outside in the common hallway.
3. She can do something as simple as placing a tiny red dot with a marker to energetically “open” the door.
The element for the Career Gua is Water. Mary Kathleen should add a water feature by the front door (like a little table top fountain, or a fish bowl or a picture of water). She can use the color black, Water itself, or even a wavy design. If she hangs a full length mirror on the back door, the mirror frame could be black (the mirror itself is a water feature!). She could add some plants to the kitchen area in black pots. If she is changing her kitchen décor, she could use black as an accent color. Bottom line: the back door is in her Career Gua and it is stuck. Somehow, it needs to get un-stuck; energetically this should un-stick her Career.
