As you probably know, it\u2019s now the Year of the earth Dog and we thought we\u2019d look at some ways to work with this energy. Artist Fiona Hollis, in collaboration with Lucy Richardson, has created some cool artwork that will work with your Chinese Zodiac sign and the sign of the year.<\/p>\n

The Chinese Zodiac has 12 animal signs and if you\u2019re not sure which one you are check the dates at the end of this article. Remember, Chinese new year begins in February, so if you have a January birthday, you will be the zodiac for the year before. Some say, the further through the year you are, the stronger the qualities of the animal that represents your sign.<\/p>\n

Each sign has \u2018allies\u2019 and \u2018special friends\u2019 who are particularly powerful pillars of support. It is thought that by carrying amulets or having images of them in certain parts of your home\/ office, your positive flow of energy (chi) will be empowered.<\/p>\n

If you are a rabbit, horse, tiger or a dog \u2013 it would be powerful to have a dog feng shui print.<\/p>\n

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese art\/science, that seeks to create a positive chi by spatial arrangement & orientation in your environment. (Placement of furniture\/ decor\/ colour schemes).<\/p>\n

Translated feng means \u201cwind\u201d and shui means water. In Chinese culture, wind and water are associated with good health, thus good feng shui came to mean good fortune. Conversely, bad feng shui means bad luck or misfortune.<\/p>\n

For more information on fengshui and if you would like some personal advice, Fiona recommends Lucy Richardson @FengShuiFocus<\/a> who has a practice in Singapore.<\/p>\n

\u2018Year of the Dog 2018\u2019 print has just been printed as a limited edition of 40. This year Fiona will complete the Chinese zodiac, so check out www.holliscarney.com<\/a><\/p>\n
