Feng Shui: The Real Thing

Welcome to Feng Shui: The Real Thing, a Classical Feng Shui and Ba Zi Chinese astrology podcast, with co-hosts Zoë Vita James and Feng Shui Master Richard Ashworth.

Each episode explores authentic Feng Shui principles, Chinese metaphysics and monthly Chinese astrology forecasts - helping you work consciously with time, space and energy in your everyday life.

Together, Zoë and Richard bring over 30 years’ combined experience as professional Classical Feng Shui consultants. Richard is also widely respected as one of the leading Western teachers of traditional Feng Shui and Ba Zi.

Each episode shares practical guidance and insights you can apply to your home, workspace and life - supporting wellbeing, prosperity and relationships through Classical Feng Shui principles.

A new Feng Shui and Chinese astrology forecast is released at the start of each solar month, helping you work with the energetic patterns of the Chinese calendar.

In our episodes you’ll hear:

• Monthly Feng Shui forecasts aligned with the Chinese solar calendar

• Guidance on where to spend time in your home or workspace - and which areas to treat more carefully

• Evergreen Feng Shui guidance - from selecting a property through to remodelling and living in your space - along with stories from our professional work that bring these principles to life

• Personal forecasts for all 12 Chinese Zodiac animals

To follow the animal forecasts we share each month, you’ll want to know which animals appear in your own Ba Zi chart. Use the guide below based on your birth details. The meaning varies depending on whether the animal appears in your Year, Month, Day, Hour or Life House pillar.
