Dear Cheryl,

initially I wanted to write more on total loss directions in general. There is no need to be afraid \:\)

For example, my kua number is 6 and my total loss direction is South. As a child I used to be very shy and timid - but that's no longer true. The kua number represents heaven luck, your starting point in life. But you are not doomed by it, it's just one third of your luck, another third is human luck (your behaviour and attitude) and the last third is Feng Shui. If you change your behaviour and attitude and support yourself with good Feng Shui, you can tip the scale (your heaven luck will not represent any limitations for you anymore because you transformed it)

If you are still a bit insecure about mentoring and coaching (NW) - Marie recommended in one of her newsletters (April 2007) to place the facet opal in the personal total loss direction to really transform these issues.

If mentoring and coaching is connected with your total loss direction - so what? Another example: Feng Shui is recommended as success occupations for SW (kua number 8). One of the most successful Feng Shui masters has kua number 1 and Southwest is his total loss direction. So no need to worry, I think \:\)

Love,
Astrid
