About Richard

Richard Ashworth he is probably best known for introducing authentic Chinese Imperial Feng Shui to BBC tv's Housebusters and for his book The Feng Shui Diaries. He is internationally famous for his ground breaking transformational work with the ba zi or Four Pillars of Destiny, otherwise misleadingly known as the Chinese Horoscope. Press has included the Guardian Diary, Spirit and Destiny, Art and Architecture, and 25 Beautiful Homes. He has worked with A-Listers such as Gillian Anderson of the X-Files (who said he "commands both confidence and awe") and professionals like Britain's favourite Interior Designer Kelly Hoppen) and he has been the subject of the Sunday Times feature 'A Life in the Day' His Diaries which are available free from his website.

Typically a survey with Richard starts with examination of the ba zi (or personal feng shui) which often reveals startling facts about the subject. This is usually followed by a look within and around the building and Richard reflecting as to exactly what it is "saying," Then he will draft a chi map of the premises that acts as a sort of biography of the building. This can take a while but when he starts to suggest changes, there is typically a flurry of activity during which the whole "feel" of a property changes rapidly. His sessions are recorded for the client and a full survey includes written bullet points.
