I Was Personally Victimized By Fire Horse Energy

A testimonial & story from a long-time friend of LSP Feng Shui & Chinese Astrology.

Veronica, the founder and owner of Life's Simple Pleasure's Feng Shui, had alerted me early on that 2026 energy was going to be strong. I believed her.
In the ten plus years I have known her, she has always been right. Her perscriptions on how to manage the energy have never failed me, especially when I went through my divorce.
Perhaps I got too comfortable in the safety and peace that is my home, but my own confidence has caused some of the issues of the Fire Horse to attack me.
The strongest energy for the Fire Horse Year is in the South, and the Southwest isn't much better! She revealed many things to expect in this year at her annual class, What to Expect...(insert animal for the year.) Held every December, Veronica reviews the energy of the upcoming year, what we can do to diminish the energy, where to place your salt cures, where to put your windchimes, and more.
She had doubled the size of our salt cures this coming year. I made sure to place them, to remove what I could before the Chinese new year began, but the Horse energy was already parading into my home, ready to prance and let me know it was there.
The front of my home faces the South. It sits across from a cul-de-sac (already a bad issue),

and sits on a curve. The primary bedroom runs across most of the front of the house. Some of it is Center, a smidgen is Southeast and West, and the rest is South and Southwest. The South and Southwest energy are the majority in the room.
I deep cleaned the primary bedroom, as I had been warned the Fire Horse doesn't like clutter. I cleared out bold colors, because pastels calm the Fire Horse energy. I cleaned drawers, donated clothes, straightend my closets, I even changed my comforter to a soft pastel floral in preparation for the year. Little did I know, there would be a succession of attacks because I did not respect the Fire Horse enough. Here's how he let me know.
In January, just after the New Year had been celebrated, I was exposed to a nasty flu. I did my best to keep it at bay, and was mostly successful at it. But shortly after that, when I was feeling better, I began to crave the coldest possible drinks I could get. Ice production in the frig was at an all time high. It didn't matter that the Chicagoland area was setting records with negative temperatures, I had to have my drink ice cold and thoroughly chilled or not at all.

Looking back, the energy of the coming year was already in my home. Sleeping in the primary bedroom was letting the fire from the horse affect my body. My body was trying to help me by cooling me down.
The Southwest is one of my best directions, but this year, that didn't matter when you are sleeping in the energy of the Fire Horse.
Another early warning that the Fire Horse energy was going to be a doozy, any electronics I had in the South began acting up. My WiFi receptor was located in the South in my bedroom. Every night at 7 pm it began to go off line and it would stay offline for a few hours. I contacted Veronica, and she agreed that it is likely the Fire Horse energy was at play. She gave me a time, date, and a better direction to place. After that, my Wifi has never gone offline, or been weak.
I was feeling confident that with Veronica's help I would be able to manage the Fire Horse.

Boy was I wrong!
I found I was impatient. I am never impatient. I don't like being angry, because I feel it is a wasted emotion. I was cranky, snappish. More things I don't like to be, but there it was. These are symptoms of being in the West, also known as the Quarreling Star in 2026.
I was also waking up with a sore throat. The kind you feel after yelling at an exciting event. No amount of cold water made it go away. But it was better by the end of the day. Until I went to bed. The mouth is affected by the Southwest in 2026 and is known as the Star of Conflict.
I checked my bank account, and there was a charge that shouldn't be there. Someone had bought them a membership to a popular designing website with my credit card. The business who processed the transaction was great, it wasn't hard to get my money back but guess what was at play? The Star of Conflict, which is also known as the sector of violence and theft. Southwest energy.

One last thing. And it's the biggest. I began losing hair. Not just a little, it was like after pregnancy combs full of hair. I hadn't been pregnant in years, and in January my thyroid was slightly off, but I was encouraged to improve aspects of my diet and I was given a list of things to watch for and to come in if they occured.
After months of sleeping in Fire Horse energy, in a room of two of the worst sectors of the year, and me being a Wood Dragon (fire burns wood), my body was letting me know I needed to get out of there.
I contacted Veronica, telling her I needed out of that room, and gave her the areas of the home that I could possibly sleep in for a year. She calmy asked pertinant questions, and got back to me with a direction, date, and time of day to set up my new room and remove things from the primary bedroom.
After one night of sleeping in the new room, in the Northeast, my throat was no longer sore.

I woke up happy, motivated, and ready to dance through life, literally! I tackled so much in that day - I felt like my old self. I gave myself another night in the new room before I washed my hair. I still had hair loss, but it was greatly diminished, probably by half or more. I, the Wood Dragon, was no longer on fire from the energy of the year. I was improving. Thank goodness.
While I am hopeful my hair will return, I have to give thanks for what the Fire Horse came to teach me. The energy really chose my mouth area, which asks you to look at your diet. And boy did I ever. I cut out soda, processed foods, and other things that block your hormones from operating properly. I increased my fresh fruits and veg and limited myself to chicken and salmon for now. It has done wonders for persistent issues I have had. The Fire Horse taught me to love myself more and not take myself for granted. I deserve nourshing food and especially positive and uplifting energy.
Veronica has had great advice on how to tackle and diminish this energy on the outside of the home as well. We're finally getting into warm enough weather for me to take advantage of these tips, and I cannot wait to get things in place!
If you're having issues or are concerned about the how the Fire Horse might impact you or your family, I strongly suggest you make a home assessment appointment with Veronica. It does not matter if you live in a small house, a big house, a condo or an apartment. She has great advice that works!
