Till May 6, Jupiter will be in Pisces, in the 9th. The World Cup, therefore,will take place when Jupiter transits the 9th. Saturn will be in thefavourable third. The only negative factor is that Mars will be moving overto the 8th, on 20th March. So things are looking good for India ! There maybe slices of bad luck after 20th March.

Jupiter was in the Fifth, a favourable house, in Scorpio when India won the1983 World Cup.

Imran Khan, the former Pak skipper, was on TV yesterday contradictingPetersen’s view that the WC longish schedule is negative.

On the other hand, it is positive, he feels. The greatest threat a team canface is injuries. He cited the example of the Pak defeat in the 1987 final,when their 3 major players were injured.

Now India is also smarting from injuries. Praveen Kumar is flying to Englandfor treatment and Sreeshant may be roped in. Asked about Sreeshanth, Imransaid that Sreeshant is not a bad replacement. His oustwingers are excellent.

About the Pak skipper problem, Imran said that Misbah does not have adequateexperience. The World Cup will be fiercely competitive, and Misbah simply donot have the experience to handle tough situations, which may arise. Misbahdid play well yesterday, scoring 93 no and winning the match for Pakistan.

Imran said India are favourites and Sri Lanka are second favourites. But hewarned that Pakistan can be the dark horse. Pak may enter the semis,upsetting the theory that Sri Lanka or SA, Australia, England and India mayreach the semis.

Dhoni said he will convert pressure into responsibility.

There is a theory that India in 1983 had nothing to lose, as they werewritten off as underdogs, and hence they performed well, as they playedwithout pressure. They were not a star studded side, like the present one,and was a team of bits and pieces players. Bits and players players areplayers capable of taking one or two wickets, and can score 30/40 runs. Notpeople who score 200 not out !

The present Indian team is star studded, with a lot of watchwinners. Sachinis the top scorer in ODIs with 200 no against SA, we have Yuvraj who createda record in the T20s by hitting six sixes in an over ( overtaking Sobers’and Shastri’s performances, which was only in county cricket ), an explosivebatsman in Sehwag and a blitzkreig batsman in Y Pathan. More experienced isthis team than the 1983 squad. The only enemy India will face is pressure.As Trevor Bailey used to say ” It is the situation”. It is pressure whichwill be the no 1 enemy. Look at Pathan’s last innings. When India were113/8, the game was almost over. And Yathan played without any pressure.When he scored a hundred with 8 sixes and 8 fours, then pressure crept in.There was a chance for India to win and then when pressure came, he got out,giving the match on a platter to the South Africans !

It is easy for Dhoni to say he will change pressure into responsibility. IfIndian players do not perform well, they would have let the 1 billionIndians down. They are playing before a 100,000 crowd, watched avidly bymiliions of cricket crazy Indians. There is tremendous pressure on allteams, but more on India. When everybody thinks that India is favourite,pressure becomes enormous. But then, India are on their home ground and homeground advantage can be benign !

India’s strength lies in her spinning allrounders. Yuvraj, Pathan, Sehwag,Sachin, Raina all can bowl and they are fairly well experienced. Anotherfactor in their favour is the position of the heavens. Jupiter in Pisces isin the 3rd in India’s national horoscope. Saturn in the 3rd is a redeemer !

India is currently placed 2nd in ODIs, ICC Rankings. Retaining that spotbrings in another pressure situation ! Complacency should be avoided at allcosts and anything can happen in one day cricket. Most of the teams are moreor less equal. Australia, England, South Africa and Sri Lanka can stageupsets at any time. They have better fast bowlers than India !. ( AllanBorder is of the view that Aussies with three genuine fast bowlers will liftthe Cup )

It is to be noted that this will be Sachin’s last World Cup. He has createdall records except one. He is not like, like Kapil Dev, a member of the WCvictors ! What greater gift can be there than consecrating the WC to SachinTendulkar ?

Feng Shui Career Tips

There are effective and powerful ways to enhance your personal career luck with the wisdom of feng shui. In this article, I have my 12 amazing feng shui tips grouped into 4 main categories, they are “How To Enhance Your Personal Career Luck”, “How To Enhance Your Personal Work Space / Desk Top”, “How To Enhance Your Personal Office Space” and “How To Enhance Your Personal Success & Development”.

How To Enhance Your Personal Career Luck

What makes me so amazed at feng shui is its ability to help with every aspects of our life. We can use feng shui to give our career a boost. Good career feng shui usually manifests in the form of increased opportunities and responsibilities. The following three feng shui tips can help you to enhance your personal career luck.

1.

The Career Corner

The career corner is the North of any residential building, corporate office or personal space. Hence, to get the most out of career feng shui, you should use fengshui methods to energize the North corner of both your home, as well as your office. One excellent way to activate your career luck is to place a small aquarium filled with guppies in the North wall or corner of your living room and office. Guppies create good yang energy as they are hardy little creatures that swim vigorously.

2. Activate Career Luck With Your Files

This is a very powerful feng shui tip for activating career luck. Simply energize all your important files with prosperity coins that symbolize good fortune. The key to activating these coins is the red ribbon used to tie the coins together.

This helps create prosperity energies for the success of your work.

3. Sit Facing The Door

Inside your office, try to sit facing the door. Never have your back facing the door. For career people, this will mean you losing out in any politicking. It also means you’re subordinate, bosses or co-workers will betray you, and you have a hard time managing and handling them.

How To Enhance Your Personal Work Space / Desk Top

Career luck is much improved when you can fengshui your personal work space or desk top. Start by making sure the the location, position, direction, and layout of your workspace is correct. The following are three feng shui tips that can enhance your personal work space or desk top.

1. Sit With A Solid Wall Behind You

Always remember to sit with a solid wall behind you as the wall will give you tremendous support for any challenges or difficulty. Do not have the window behind you or have any door behind you.

2. Sit In Your Power Position

This is an excellent feng shui tip for enhancing your career luck by positioning your seat well in the office. The power position in any office is always the corner that is diagonally opposite the main door. It is deep inside the office. Try to sit in this spot to get the best career luck.

3. Never Sit Next To Or Below Toilets

Always remember to check whether you are sitting next to or below a toilet on the floor above you. In feng shui, this is considered very harmful situation in the office and you should move your desk away from under the toilet immediately. Feng Shui Career Tips

How To Enhance Your Personal Office Space

We spend almost the whole day in our office working for a living. The environment that we are working in is important in terms of feng shui. We need to have an office space that we feel good working in. The office space must have a balance of yin and yang energies and the flow of air in the office space must be even and smooth. The following are 3 feng shui tips that can help you to enhance your personal office space.

1. Keep Trash Bins Out Of Sight

All cleaning gear like brooms and dust pans are deemed to symbolize bad luck and must be kept out of sight of your office space, and especially the main door.

2. Block Out Excessive Sunlight

While it is good to have yang energy like sunlight to energize your office space, you must also not forget about the balance of yin and yang energies in the office. This is espcially true for those office spaces that have a west-facing wall. The brightness and heat of the afternoon sun can create an excess of fire energy. This excessive yang energy from the sunlight will create disharmony in the office. Flared tempers and impatience will be the order of the day. One remedy is to block it with curtains.

3. Never Leave Clutter In Your Office Space

Your office space is where you work hard for your job or business. There should not have any clutter that will create blockage in your office space. Remove any clutter and organize the things in your office space properly. Clutter in your office space will bring bad luck, disharmony, irritation and conflicts with your co-workers.

How To Enhance Your Personal Success & Development

Success comes when you work hard towards it. The good news is, we can actually apply good feng shui to make sure that our path towards our success is more smooth-sailing. Below are three feng shui tips that can help you to enhance your personal success and development.

1. The Prosperity Signature

In feng shui, it is believed that a signature can attract great prosperity and success if it starts with a firm upward stroke and ends with another firm upward stroke. Many successful people have their signature signed in this way. Practice your new signature until you get it.

2. Buttons Of Your Clothes

Conventionally, buttons are usually round and when the buttons are made of metallic material, it represents strong metal element. Such buttons are excellent feng shui for those wearing black or blue but will be inauspicious for people wearing greens and browns. On the other, plastic round buttons are basically harmonious.

3. Dragon For Great Success And Good Fortune

The celestial Dragon is the ultimate good luck symbol in feng shui and Chinese tradition. In fact, the Chinese believed that places with excellent feng shui are said to enjoy the dragon’s precious cosmic breath. Hence, placing a picture of a dragon in the office is always believed to bring its owner great good fortune and success. Feng Shui Career Tips

Simple Feng Shui Chart

Ever wonder what people are talking about when they mention a feng shui map, a bagua chart or a bagua map? They’re all talking about the same thing, really. A bagua chart is simply a map you use to determine where the key areas of your home are from a feng shui perspective. These areas are: the Wealth & Prosperity; Fame & Reputation; Relationships (Love); Family; Health; Children & Creativity; Self-Cultivation & Knowledge; Career; and Helpful People & Travel. Simple Feng Shui Chart

You’ll note that there are nine areas of the map. This is often represented as an octagon with health in the middle, but for simplicty’s sake, imagine it as a square, divided into 9 equal squares with health in the middle.

Note: If you’d like to see an actual feng shui map, there’s a link in the resources section of this article, or you can simply google it.

Now, back to our square.

Let’s start at the beginning and I’ll show you how to use the map to “map out” your own feng shui chart for your home, apartment or office.

Starting at the bottom of our square, and reading from left to right, we have three sections: Self-Cultivation and Knowledge on the left; Career in the center; and Helpful People & Travel on the right.

If you were holding this square in hour hand, standing at your front door as a visitor, you would position the starting point of your map where your front door is. So if your front door is more centered in your home, it’s in the Career area. If your front door is to the left, Self-Cultivation and Knowledge; and if to the right, Helpful People and Travel.

Your front door will always be in one of those three sections. Which one depends on whether you have a center entrance, or your front door is off-center. Simple Feng Shui Chart

The rest of the map is easy. Once you know where your front door is, and in which area it lies, you can map out the rest using that as a reference point. So at the top of our feng shui map (back left of your home) is the Wealth and Prosperity Area. Middle back: Fame & Reputation. Right back: Relationships & Love. Middle left: Family; Center of Your Home: Health; Middle right: Children & Creativity.

Now that you have all this great information, what do you do with it?

Take a look at the areas in your life where you are struggling. Let’s say love has left you dry and your bank account is overdrawn, and your career is stymied. You’d look at the Relationship (back right), Wealth & Prosperity (back left) and Career (front & center) areas of your home and you see: broken window panes, clutter, paint chipping, dust bunnies that could eat Manhattan, plugged drains, crowded furniture … you get the picture.

I always advise a client, when applying feng shui principles to his or her home to start with the area of his/her life (and home) that is of the greatest annoyance. Once my client sees what happens when they make necessary repairs, clear clutter and clean, and then enhance the space with beauty, and once they begin to see these changes reflected in their life, they truly “get it.” Improve your environment and improve your life.

How To Feng Shui Your Bedroom For Love

Try these simple and practical Feng Shui tips to improve your love life and relationships in general. Feng Shui must-haves for those looking for love.

THE BEDROOM

If you have been unlucky in love so far, move the furniture in your bedroom around. This will change and refresh the flow of energy in your room. You should move your bed to a different location at least once a year so that your love life does not get stale.

Do not position your bed so that when you sleep you are facing the bathroom. If you sleep facing the washroom, you are likely to be involved in messy love triangles. Even if you are in a relationship, facing the bathroom might make you prone to arguments or tension with your partner.

Plus you might be prone to urological problems such as bladder infections. If you cannot move the bed, you can block the flow of energy with a screen or lat the very least, keep your bathroom door shut at all times and hang a plant in each upper corner by the bathroom door.

Put two objects of a similar size on the bedside table. This represents you and your (future) loved one. This could be almost anything such as a pair of candles or a set of vases or ornaments. Feel free to have more than one representation of a pair such as picture of two birds on your wall.
