Feng Shui & Astrology

If you're one of the many individuals that read up on different trends, you've probably read or heard about the concept of Feng Shui. Although Feng Shui has been around for centuries, it was kept as somewhat of a secret among the most powerful and wealthy of the Chinese.

It's only become known to the rest of Asian society and the Western civilization in recent years. However, since it's made its way to the United States, it's become very important in many areas of life from helping with home decoration to improve harmony in the home, to CEOs wishing to improve their profitability of their businesses.

Feng Shui was developed on the principle of "chi", which is another word for energy. The Chinese believe that we can use changes in our environment to affect the flow of 'chi' in our lives. Everything around us consists of energy. We affect our surroundings while at the same time our surroundings affect us.

So how do you use Feng Shui to create abundance in your home? There are a couple different methods used in Feng Shui for this purpose.

1. General Feng Shui directions

In our home or office, the direction Southeast is generally related to abundance. You would want to put pictures of landscapes, flowers or plants in this direction of your home or office because the element of this direction is wood. Also, any images you may have that represent abundance may also be placed in this direction of your home or office.

2. Personal Feng Shui directions

In personal Feng Shui, we all have favourable and unfavourable directions based on our personal number, called a Gua number. Depending on your personal number, there is a direction that is related to success. With a Gua number of 8 for example, your personal success direction is South West. In this direction therefore, ensure that the home office is neat and clean and that you face this direction (or one of the other 3 good directions) if possible.

3. Get rid of clutter in your home office

Clutter in your office or home also takes away positive energy. If you have a desk that is overrun with clutter, clean it up. The same applies for the entire home in fact. Start with the rooms you spend the most time in, and go from there. Afterwards, keep your home clean at all times to keep the good flow of chi happening.

4. Flying stars method for good directions

Another method, the flying stars method, is more complex and determines the most favorable areas of your home in a particular year. These good directions change, and means that you may want to spend more time in a particular sector of the home in this year more, and in other rooms, less. You can learn from a Feng Shui course, in order to do this properly.

So there you go. You now know 4 ways you can use Feng Shui to improve the flow of abundance in your home. Take it one step at a time, and see if each step brings you a good feeling and energy into your home, and attract the success and abundance that you want.
