Episode 392: Feng Shui Qi Forecast: August 2026

In this episode, we are back with our monthly qi forecast, exploring August 2026 as a threshold month — a time when summer begins to soften and transition into autumn. We talk through the month’s solar terms, moon cycles, and zodiac influences, and share practical ways to slow down, ground, and work with the shifting qi rather than resist it.We also discuss how to align your home and daily routines with Earth energy during this seasonal change, including simple feng shui tips for stability, reflection, and preparation for autumn. We close with an I Ching reading that reminds us to treat challenges as gifts and to protect our light with humility, calm, and self-care.What we talk about in this episode:-Why August feels like a threshold month-The beginning of autumn in the Chinese solar calendar-August’s solar terms and moon cycles-The energy of harvest, abundance, and grounding-Zodiac guidance for the Monkey month-Auspicious dates for each animal sign-Practical feng shui ways to align with Earth energy-An I Ching reading about transition, humility, and inner strength…and much more!Mentioned in this episode:Our Feng Shui Energy Map EkitRegister for our free & on-demand Feng Shui plant workshop, available for a limited timeHarmonize your Home with Feng Shui PlantsEnhance your qi, prosperity and wellnessThanks so much for listening to the Holistic Spaces Podcast brought to you by Mindful Design Feng Shui School!-Sign up for our newsletter for exclusive complimentary special workshops and offers for our newsletter subscribers ONLY! -Make sure you’re following us on Instagram for feng shui tips and live Q&A’s.-Learn about our courses and certification on our website at: Mindful Design School.-Check out our older episodes on our Holistic Spaces Podcast archive.Time stamps for this episode:[01:04] August as a transition and threshold month[02:01] Solar terms: beginning of autumn and easing of summer heat[04:55] Moon cycle energy focused on stability and grounding[05:24] New moon and full moon reflections for August[06:53] Chinese zodiac insights: Monkey month support and challenges[07:50] Auspicious and cautionary dates for the zodiac signs[09:30] How to align with August’s Qi through transition and grounding[10:39] Practical Feng Shui tips for peace and stability at home[11:08] Oracle reading: Hexagram 36 changing into Hexagram 15[12:02] Interpreting the darkening of light as a gift[13:01] Transition from fire to earth energy and humility[14:22] Feng Shui Bagua guidance for grounding and balance[16:36] Embracing challenges with acceptance and inner support[18:26] Home adjustments using earth elements and opposite guasMORE QUESTIONSHire one of our Mindful design school Grads for a 1-1 consultation.
