The Feng Shui Companion: A User-Friendly Guide to the Ancient Art of Placement was written by George Birdsall, published in 1995. In the opening pages, I felt like I was sitting down to chat with a colleague who I had not spoken to in decades. Reading how […]
Robert Sachs’ book, Nine Star Ki: Your Astrological Companion to Feng Shui, was first published in 2001. Interest in Feng Shui in the Western world was well-established, but hardly any Westerners had heard of Nine Star Ki. This is still the case in 2024, outside of Chinese […]
