Choice and arrangement of May plants in homes according to Astrology and the Chinese Compass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seasonal cycle in May goes through an extremely important period for the growth of solar energy and May plants, preparing to reach its peak at the solstice in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This period is marked by the Celtic calendar which recognizes as key moments the dates of the so-called “midterms” that is, intermediate points between the solstices and the equinoxes. One of these is May 1st, the feast of Beltane, one of the most famous and spectacular events of the Celtic tradition. As explained in a specific article, a line sacred to Michael crosses England oriented precisely to the sunrise at Beltane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to catalyze these energies using Feng Shui in our homes, that is, by promoting an alignment pattern between macrocosm and microcosm?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can use the extraordinary cures of Feng Shui, making use of the three kingdoms that the shaman knows perfectly and arranges to his advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the specific case of this article, we are focusing on the Feng Shui plants that Celtic tradition attributes to Beltane: hawthorn, St. John’s Wort, honeysuckle, nettle and in general all flowering plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawthorn is of the male gender, it is attributed to the planet Mars, to the god Thor and the goddess Athena, to the element of Fire and to the powers of Harmony, Protection, Desire and Happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we want to celebrate May and Beltane with hawthorn, we should try to position it in the south direction of the Feng Shui Compass in our home, which corresponds to the Fire energy, or in the south-east direction, which corresponds to the Wood energy, mother of Fire. Moreover, a look at the position of Mars in the birth chart would not do any harm, in order to better harmonize the choice of directions for this plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. John’s Wort can be considered, among the Feng Shui plants of May, an alternative to hawthorn, both from an esoteric and a cultural point of view: either one or the other are rustic shrubs, so they can be grown in pots or in the open ground in sunny exposures such as the south or, if too strong, the southeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honeysuckle, on the other hand, is different from the other Feng Shui plants of May because, although sacred to Beltane, it is attributed to the planet Jupiter and the Earth element, with a symbolism linked to Passion, Fidelity and family Harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its arrangement, therefore, will be along the feminine Earth axis of the Chinese Compass southwest-northeast or west if there is a deficiency of the Metal element requiring Earth as a generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A look at the horoscope and the relative azimuthal position of Jupiter could be a desirable check before placing the plant in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a cultivation point of view, honeysuckle is also a rustic plant which can be grown in pot and can be exposed in less sunny directions, such as the southwest or west, suggested by the esoteric applications previously illustrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
