Feng Shui Tips

[Ethan_Oleh]

Fish is a symbol of good wealth and fortune to the Chinese because the Chinese character for fish, yu means abundance. The carps are persistent and determined to resist any big currents in the yellow river hence they are a symbol of perseverance, abundance and wealth.

Do not place the Carp Fish Painting facing outside your door or windows. Place the painting inside your house/living room and facing inwards and your wealth will stay with you forever.

When giving a gift of a wallet, purse, piggy bank or anything that is meant to hold money, you should put money in it so the person will have good luck. By putting money in a wallet or purse that is being given as a gift, you ensure that the wallet or purse will never be empty of money.

Feng Shui of House Numbers: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

 

Explore the feng shui myth of house numbers

Among the many (so very many!) misconceptions about feng shui, the notion of good and bad feng shui numbers is one of the most persistent.

And then there is the ugly one, the much feared and avoided number 4 feng shui myth; most feng shui enthusiasts are convinced this number is very bad feng shui.

So, let’s start with a very practical, clear and common sense approach (which is actually the only approach that leads to lasting and life changing results with feng shui).

 

How can a number be bad feng shui?

Did you ever get sick from a number or lost a loved one over a number?

Apart from your mind feeding you stories (which often have nothing to do with the actual energy of what you are looking at) numbers, just like any other things – crystals, plants, colours, etc – carry specific energy, or vibration.

 

This energy has very clear characteristics, it has a language of its own, so by approaching the feng shui of house numbers (or any numbers!) with a curious, not fearful mind, you will be amazed at how much info is revealed to you with something as simple as numbers.

Of course, simple is a relative term, as there is a whole fascinating field of numerology that takes the study of numbers to deep and quite powerful levels.

Each number has an obvious meaning, such as 2 for togetherness, for example. Each number also has a more hidden meaning, so to speak, or a specific energy it evokes by itself or in combination with other numbers.

 

What does this mean to you and how can you practically apply the info in your life?

Let’s start with the infamous feng shui of number 4.

 

Number 4.

Number 4 is a sacred number. Well, everything is sacred, but for the sake of resurrecting the undeserved reputation of this number, I’ll call it sacred!

We have the 4 corners of the earth/the 4 main directions. We have 4 seasons. A structure is not rooted long term unless it has at least 4 points of touch with the ground.

How come then the bad feng shui reputation of number 4? Simple.

In Cantonese, the pronunciation for number 4 is the same as the pronunciation for death. Not very pleasant stuff, indeed, to repeat many times daily!

Unless you speak Cantonese, though, the bad feng shui of number 4 is just not true.

Do you see?

Of course, if you are a realtor or have selling a house with number 4 in its address (and many of your potential buyers are of Chinese origin), you will be sensitive to this culturally specific meaning and do your best to address it.

 

How is this done?

I know some people change the address to eliminate number 4, and some real estate developers avoid numbers 4 or 13 in the elevators of their high rise buildings.

A typical feng shui cure to deal with the number 4 in a house address is to enclose the number in a red circle (be sure this looks visually appropriate in the context of your house and neighbourhood).

Any feng shui cure has to be done in a subtle way, otherwise you risk achieving the opposite results (read the article on feng shui decorating).

Now, the actual energy of number 4, being very grounding, is the energy that will bring you many lessons on exactly that – how to really get grounded and develop strong roots.

Trust me, this is not just theoretical, I have actual experience with several number 4s in my house address and I know these were the main lessons the house taught me – how to slow down and get really, really grounded and centered. As a result of this energy I’ve grown a very successful business, so number 4 has sure brought me many blessings!

When you see number 4 by itself or in combination with other numbers (especially at the end of the number, such as 504, for example), know that the main energy this number will bring you is a very grounding energy.

It will feel constricting and restricting at times for sure, but the results will be worth it. In this specific case – number 504 – the ultimate number is 9 (5+0+4=9), which is the highest energy number.

Ok, now that the number 4 is resurrected, let’s briefly go number by number.

 

Number 1.

The energy of new beginnings, freshness, an open and unobstructed flow.

Number 2.

Partnership, balance, cooperation, beginning of stability.

Number 3.

Family, creative self-expression, rapid expansion.

Number 4.

See the beginning of article.

Number 5.

Radical transformation and change, adventure.

Number 6.

Patience, care, practicality.

Number 7.

Self-contemplation, personal growth, sometimes solitude.

Number 8.

Infinitely abundant energy, never ending flow, blessings.

Number 9.

Achieving the highest accomplishment, contentment in success, gratitude.

Number 0.

 

Void, nothingness, the beginning and ending of all things.

All other numbers – starting with 9 – are a combination of these main numbers. To connect to the energy of a specific number, let’s say a potential house number, look at the meaning of each number separately, their arrangement (the first, the middle and the end number), as well as the overall characteristic of the main number (defined by adding all numbers).

Let’s take the example of a house number 205. This house will have an overall potentially strong energy of personal growth (2+0+5=7), defined by such energies as partnership (with yourself or others), beginning of stability, delving into the void, transformation and adventure.

When you have multiples of the same number – 222, for example – the energy of this number is multiplied/is very strong. In numerology, these numbers are called master numbers.

Of course, as with everything energy related, subtle and esoteric, it is good to be mindful and not always take things literally. Explore whatever information is presented to you and then check with your inner knowing to filter what is true for you and what is not.

We are all different, going through different stages and lessons, so it is important to sense what is true for you at certain times and what is not.

And here is some curious food for thought: Number 0 is the energy of void, nothingness, abyss, etc. However, when this number of void and nothingness accompanies any other number – gracefully placing itself after the number – it multiplies it many times!

The difference between 1 and 1,000 is just a difference in the number of 0s (which is nothing).

How can the energy of nothingness and abyss make such a difference?

I guess this is one of those questions that will always be left open. Probably because it is in the void and nothingness that the power resides; in the mystery of it all.

Stay smart when it comes to the energy of numbers, do your best to decode their messages but do not give your power away.

The most common use of Chinese coins in feng shui is for money and achieves financial stability. Each Chinese coin has two sides with specific meaning. One side has four characters on it and is considered the Yang / active side, and the other side has two characters and is the Yin / receptive side. Traditionally, the Chinese coins in various feng shui money cures are always placed with the Yang side facing up. Display this bowl of coins in the Southeast sector of your home or office to invite wealth luck into your life.

Ten Ways to Attract Wealth

 

Clear Your Clutter. In Feng Shui clutter represents postponed decisions and the inability to move forward. Try this Feng Shui challenge: clear out the junk drawer, the messy hall closet, or the garage, then step back and watch the opportunities flow into your life to fill the space you’ve made for them.

 

Clean Your Front Door. The front door is the “mouth of chi” where all wealth enters your home. That means if your door is dirty or faded your ability to attract wealth into your home will be diminished. Dust and clean your door frequently, and repaint or replace it if it doesn’t send a positive message about your home.

 

Clean Your Windows. Windows are considered the “eyes” of your home, and dirty windows represent cloudy vision. When you clean your windows you bring clear vision of present and future opportunities back into your life. Whether you do it yourself or hire a service, be sure to clean your windows on a regular basis.

 

Replace Burned Out Light Bulbs. If your rooms are dim, so will be your financial future. When you replace burned out bulbs you symbolically brighten your possibilities.

 

Tighten Knobs and Door Handles. If your door handles and knobs are loose, in Feng Shui terms it means you can’t get a grip on your money and finances. Tighten knobs and handles and replace broken ones, and you will strengthen your financial future.

 

Replace Dead Plants. Dead plants represent dead energy, so replace them with healthy living plants to symbolically grow your wealth. Avoid Bonsai or other miniature plants since they represent stunted growth. If your plants always die, display high quality silk instead.

 

Keep the Toilet Lid Down. Water represents abundance in Feng Shui, so if your toilet lid is open you’re symbolically flushing your abundance down the toilet. Keep the toilet lid closed and you will retain more of your wealth.

 

Fix Gaps. Whether it’s cracks in your walls, broken shingles on your roof, or gaps in the fence around your property, when you have a place where energy can escape it represents wealth leaving your home. Money spent on making these repairs will be returned many times over.

 

Clean Your Mirrors. If your mirrors are hazy you can’t see yourself, or your finances, clearly. However, when you clean your mirrors on a regular basis they reflect a clear image, and clear insight into your future opportunities.

 

Fix Drips and Leaks. Water is associated with wealth in Feng Shui, so leaking water means you are losing your wealth. When you stop the leak you stop the drain on your finances.

Especially black color attracts money to your wallet. Every time you open it for any purchase it evokes the feelings and attracts wealth.

 

Red: Red is the most auspicious and lucky color in feng shui. It symbolizes the element fire. Some thought it’s a vibrant color for a wallet. In that case they can carry a reddish black wallet.

Green: It is the color of the wood element. It is also associated with growth and positive qi of life. Green attracts wealth also. If you use  green you will get an ample option of opportunity.

Yellow, brown and beige: These are earth colors. These colors give your wealth stability and help you save money. It also protects your money. If you are big spender then a brown color wallet would be the best option for you.

 

 White, grey, silver or gold: These are metal element colors. These colors also hold your wealth, make it stable and permanent. Gold is always related with luxury. So now you know the fact that gold wallets can give you a luxurious life.

Whether you believe it or not, there's no harm checking out these interesting wallet fengshui tips. Apart from helping to usher in wealth, these tips will also help you to be more organised, along with reminding you (and the rest of us) about the very important lesson of respecting money. 

 

1. Clear out the Clutter

Only keep essential items, and remove all unnecessary items from your purse and wallet. Remove receipts, credit card bills, and anything that represents debt or spending money.

 

Always keep your wallet packed with money because it is a symbol of abundance and avoid empty wallets. Do not keep junk like sweet wrappers, old name cards, and expired membership cards.

 

2. Store Your Wallet Properly

Treat your wallet well, and it will treat you well too. Allocate a special spot in your home (for example, a shelf, your table, etc) for your wallet, and put it there every time you are home.

 

Once you learn to appreciate your wallet, it will tend to attract more money into your life. Avoid tossing your wallet onto the dining table, or other places you find convenient.

 

3. Respect Your Wallet

Do not place your wallet on the floor, especially on the toilet floor.

 

4. Choose the Right Colour

The colour of your wallet definitely matters in wallet fengshui. Each colour represents an element and different meanings.

 

 

Black (Water) – Black is the most common and popular colour. It represents wealth and prosperity. If you’re looking for career advancement or business fortune, black is the colour for you.

 

Blue (Water) – Symbolic of money being drained like water (attracts splurging), it’s hard to accumulate wealth with blue wallets.

 

Red (Fire) –  A representation of fire, red wallets will burn away your wealth luck.

 

Brown (Earth) – If you want to increase your savings, or have the habit of spending too much money, this colour will help you to save money.

 

Pink (Fire) – Suitable for ladies looking for partners, pink wallets increases love and relationship luck. If you are looking to increase wealth however, do not use this colour.

 

Yellow (Metal) – Light yellow-coloured wallets may often attract money, with a good money flow – however, money will flow both in and out. If you want to save money, consider mustard yellow wallets. To increase wealth luck, you may also choose pastel yellow wallets.

 

5. Do not use a Second-hand Wallet

The previous owner’s energy has been in the second-hand wallet, and it might influence you if you use it. As you won’t know if it’s good luck or bad, just get a brand new one and start afresh.

 

6. Activate Wealth Luck

In order to attract more cash, place 3 ancient coins on a red ribbon with your cash in your wallet.

 

7. Be Organised

Simply by looking at the way a person keeps money in their wallets, you can tell if the person has money or not. Those who respect and appreciate money will always have their notes and coins neatly sorted, while those who have disorganised and messy wallets are usually those who always lack money or are broke.

 

Make sure to arrange your notes in an upright position before putting them in your wallet as it has a huge influence over the energetic relationship between you, your wallet, and money. Consider getting a wallet or purse with compartments for you to organise your things neatly, instead of getting one without any compartments like a catch all type.

 

8. Choose an Auspicious Shape

If you want to enhance wealth luck, choose long and straight wallets where you won’t have to fold notes in order to put it in. Avoid choosing irregularly shaped wallets or purses.

Being Clever About Money

How do you make sure the money you earn does not disappear or get frittered away? How can you see your money grow steadily over the years, accumulating and expanding so you eventually experience a creation of real wealth instead of constantly having to make ends meet? Getting on top of your finances is not difficult but in addition to having good feng shui, you do need to follow smart advice, exercise discipline in the way you organize your cash flow and be alert to investing your surplus money.

 

Begin your year with a firm resolution to focus unwaveringly on managing your money. Aspire to become rich and start taking control of your finances and do so in a conscious and serious manner. You need to have an attitude of respect towards money that is neither overly emotional nor excessively detached.

If you want to accumulate wealth, you must first establish the right attitude towards money! Understand that it is a tool and you are in control. You must never allow the management of money to overwhelm you. Let it be a natural part of your life, one of the skills you need to develop and absorb into your daily rituals of living so it becomes second nature to you.

Begin by getting a good idea of your current financial situation. Know the kind of budget you live under. Train your mind to think in a quantitative way, putting numbers to all your thoughts and ideas about everything to do with your money situation. You cannot be clever about money until you know the parameters of your financial situation.

Once you know what the overall position of your income and expense sides, you can start to think strategically about your money. This is the start of dreaming dreams and formulating strategies inside your head. Hazy goals eventually become clearer and this starts you on the road towards becoming financially savvy.

Start With Your Saving Potential
You begin by developing the saving habit. Amass some equity! The first goal is to endeavour never to be in the red in terms of cash management. Never allow yourself to run out of cash. Let this be the golden rule by which you live.

From here you will be in a comfortable position to make an estimate of how much you can save. Saving is a magic word in financial management and this requires you to quantify just two numbers; the first is your combined on-hand income; and the second is an accurate estimate of what you need to spend to adequately cover all the needs of your life. Do not forget to set aside a little something for special indulgences and little luxuries. When you undertake a disciplined assessment of your financial situation, you are much better equipped to know if your combined incomes (for couples) are adequate for the both of you. Put another way, it also shows if you are living beyond your means.

An Exercise In Budgeting
Budgeting is the first step in creating the habit of keeping track of your spending. This implies taking control of your money. You need to do this if you want to save and be able to invest. This is how wealth accumulation begins, by first creating some personal equity!

Next you need to extend your time horizon. Look beyond your current situation and see if you can work out how much money will be coming in and how much going out over an extended period of time, for instance 12 months. Include holidays and other anticipated expenditures. This is to see if your lifestyle is costing you in excess of what you earn.

Being clever about money requires you to think beyond conventional logic. If you find that you never seem to have enough money at the end of each month because the cost of living has overtaken your earnings, you should start shopping for more financially attractive deals on all your big expenditures.

Expanding Your Income Base
In addition to looking for opportunities to expand your income base, also shop around for better buys and bargain deals.  For instance, you can make it a habit to only shop for clothes and other luxuries during sales and to buy your necessities such as monthly groceries from warehouse outlets a little way out of town. You will be surprised how much you can “save” when you really put your mind to it. This does not mean you need to give up on things that make you happy; it means you start to shop smart.

To guard against impulse purchases, it is a good idea to pay cash for all major buys. We are usually more careful when we use real cash instead of plastic. Using the credit card especially when you own multiple credit cards makes it harder for you to keep track of your expenditures, so make the effort not to get addicted to your cards. 

When You Have Surplus Money
If your income situation allows you to save, it means your financial position is healthy. 

Once you have a little equity built up, start looking for ways to make your money work for you. Do not be satisfied with merely earning interest from the bank. There are ways of getting a higher return on your money and the way to find out how is to be on the lookout. Start by having a chat with your friendly banker about the different deposit plans they offer.

Buying Your First Property
Your first serious investment should be some kind of landed property. This is a really big deal because wealth creation in your life starts with accumulating assets and the first real asset in anyone’s life is the home they live in.

You will need to amass some equity to buy a house or apartment, at least enough to take advantage of easy house loans being offered by banks these days. If you have a steady job and you have at least a good thirty years more to your working life, you will find banks more than happy to offer you financing that will help you purchase your own home.

If you do not already own the home you are living in, you should definitely consider buying property to live in. Owner-occupied homes are easy to get financing for and in 2008 the earth element (which means property) represents wealth creation. So this is a good year to buy property.

Here’s a tip. Borrow as much of the cost of the house as you can, and go for the longest tenure. This way the equity you need as down payment will be less. I would say that it is not difficult to find banks willing to finance from 70 to 80 percent of house purchase price especially when they are in a “good” location. Remember to put top priority on location. Buy from reputable developers or if you are buying from an individual owner, make sure you invite your banker to give you an assessment of how much the bank values the property at. This is because the loan they will be willing to give you depends on their valuation of the property and not necessarily on the price you pay. As for tenure, it makes sense to stretch out the loan as much as you can so that monthly repayments are easier on you.

You will find that what you have to pay in renting living premises is lower than monthly mortgage payments, so make sure you do your sums to make sure you can afford the repayments. Owning your own house of course holds out the promise of long term capital gain. Your house is sure to worth more than what you pay for it if you think long term. As for the repayments, these become less painful as your earning capacity improves.

In 2018, the Tai Sui (Grand Duke Jupiter) moves to the Northwest, the zodiac palace of the Dog. Those whose houses face Northwest are in direct clash with the Tai Sui and are advised to appease the Grand Duke. It is important to avoid renovating or digging in the Northwest and one should also avoid facing the direction of Northwest in 2018.

Place this Tai Sui Plaque in the Northwest to appease the Tai Sui for the year. Those born in years of the Dog, Dragon, Sheep and Ox should also carry a Tai Sui Amulet to protect them from Tai Sui this year.

If you are familiar with Feng Shui, then you will know the value of this item. According to Feng Shui practices, having 3 coins tied together with red thread is a symbol of never-ending sources of income. The three coins are symbolic because it represents the union of man, earth and heaven. By themselves, the chinese coins have no significance in Feng Shui. However, the red thread that binds them together activates the yang energies of the coins.

NOTE: If hanging these on the inside of your front door, you will also want to put a Prosperity Bell on the opposite doorknob to indicate money coming INTO the home. You can use these coins in several ways. 1. Hang on to the doorknob of your FRONT door to symbolize wealth coming into your home. Do NOT hang them on your back door - as this will have the opposite effect.

If you hang them on your front doorknob (inside your house - not on the outside) please be sure to hang them with the side that has the 4 figures facing into the room - with the side that has the 2 figures against the door. 2. Keep a set of these coins in your purse or wallet so that you will never be short of cash. 3. Give them as a gift to friends to symbolize the "offering of wealth luck" to them 4.

Tape them to your business ledger to promote income.

In Feng Shui., the 3-Legged Money Frog is an extremely popular symbol of wealth. You do not have to display this frog in a prominent place if you don't want to. On the floor inside of your front door facing INWARD is an excellent place to put a 3-legged money frog because it symbolizes money coming into your home. It is also recommended that you place one at the far corner diagonally opposite your front door as well. You can place them under chairs, on desks - hidden from site or in plain view! Please do not place this statue in the bedroom, bathroom or kitchen as it could bring about negative energy in those rooms. Also do not place him facing your front door as this could symbolize money leaving your home.

In both Feng Shui and Chinese Folklore, a sailing ship is rated second to the dragon as the most popular symbol of prosperity. The symbolism of the sails catching the wind is very auspicious. Filling the ship with gold coins symbolizes the ship bringing wealth to your business or home.

 

It is best to place the ship just inside the front door of your home or place of business. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you have the ship facing so it is sailing into the office or home.

 

As a special note to this item: I recently visited a local Chinese Restaurant and was astounded by all the Feng Shui items they had. They had a Wealth Ship displayed right inside their front door. By the cash registers they had two of the "Lucky Cats" and there were beautiful bamboo plants placed throughout the restaurant. This made me realize even further that Feng Shui techniques are very important - especially considering that this restaurant is always packed with people! : )

When Bats Nest In Your Home This is one of the most powerful indications that the family is about to become seriously wealthy. The Chinese regard bats as symbols of abundant wealth. The circular pattern of five bats is a very popular design feature found on furniture, paintings and ceramics. The Chinese believe that bats nest only in auspicious places – they have highly developed sensory parts that are able to “smell” out places with auspicious chi. The next time bats come and nest in the eaves of your home, rejoice because this heralds good fortune.

When Someone Gives You Money On A Lucky Day It is the surest sign that you will enjoy a significant increase in money luck. A lucky day is usually a new moon or full moon day. Or it can be a day of your animal sign. Check the Feng Shui Almanac for these lucky days. Make sure you keep the cash given to you on that day, as it is described as “good luck money”. Money can be given to you in many ways. It could be someone repaying a debt owed to you, or someone giving you an unexpected tip for some favour performed. This is the belief behind the tradition of giving lucky money on the fifteen days of the lunar New Year. These fifteen days of the year’s first moon are looked on as “days of miracles”, so money received on these days is always regarded as lucky money.

When Bird Droppings Land On Your Head
Many people believe this to be a major sign of wealth coming from heaven. Hence, although, it is really yucky and a major inconvenience, when something like this happens to you, take comfort in the fact that this is described as good luck being just around the corner! In fact, most things associated with birds tend to spell good fortune, such as when birds fly to your home and start making nests in and around your house. While bats bring abundance, birds bring good news and opportunities. The next time a flock of ravens, pigeons or magpies come to your home, feed them with bird seeds. Birds are also said to be powerful protectors and guardians. Even crows are said to be messengers of the Gods. So welcome birds with open arms.

Meeting Up With A Snake
Is another sign of good fortune. Whether in your garden, inside the home, or out trekking, if you meet up with a snake, it means something or someone important is coming into your life. Never ever try to harm or kill a snake when confronted with one. The more poisonous the snake, the better is the good fortune. The king cobra is described as a snake of extreme good fortune. Whatever you do, never kill a snake as they are also associated with some spiritual presence. They usually slither away themselves when they sense human presence.

When Your Hands Tingle
It is a sure sign that money is either coming to you or leaving you! The general consensus is that when it is your left hand that tingles, money is coming to you – the 4-digit kind or winning a lottery. When it is the right hand, it means money is leaving you. The same interpretation is also placed on hands that suddenly start to itch. If your left palm starts to itch, mercilessly rejoice. It means you are about to come into a windfall!

When You See A Shooting Star
And immediately make a wish, whatever you wish for will manifest within the next thirty days. If you are sick, you will get well; if your luck has been bad, it will take a turn for the better; and if you have just had a quarrel, you will make up. If you have lost something, you will regain it e.g. if you have just broken up with your boyfriend, you will make up with him or find a new boyfriend. Seeing a shooting star can be quite a common occurrence, so always have a wish handy. Close your eyes and wish fervently!

When Your Ears Start To Itch
Many believe this meams that someone is talking about you. If it is the left ear that itches, it means that whoever is talking about you is saying nice things, while if it is the right ear, then whoever is talking about you is saying uncomplimentary things. Next time your ear starts to itch, you know you are being talked or gossiped about. Some say, “right for spite, left for love.” Others reverse this omen. If you think of the person, friend or acquaintance who is likely to be talking of you and mention the name aloud, the tingling will cease if you guess correctly!

When A Butterfly Flies Into Your House
This is commonly interpreted to mean that you are about to receive some important guests. If the butterfly has bright colours, it means the visitor will bring good news relating to your love life. If the butterfly is dark – almost black – the visitor is bringing you good news related to your career or business. Never chase a fluttering butterfly out of your house. They almost always bring good tidings. Do not try to catch it, as inadvertently killing a butterfly causes your good luck to change into bad luck.
