People are a product of nature and society. In ancient times, besides freeing the mind, attention was also given to wealth, career, and reputation, because nature and society are deeply interconnected
The ancients believed in the unity of heaven and humanity, where time and space are linked with our luck. To have good fortune, the environment plays an important role.
The Year of the Dragon 2024 is Coming: How to Arrange Feng Shui to Boost Your Luck
According to traditional principles of fortune, different energies have their own roles to play in 2024, the Year of the Dragon. Let’s explore how to decorate our spaces to enhance our luck in the coming year.
- Wealth Star Shines: Key Points for the Northern Area
Wealth, Power, and Influence: The Three Treasures of Fortune
Among these, wealth comes first, symbolizing both ability and opportunity.
Wealth is the foundation and has the power to generate “power.”
In traditional Feng Shui, this is referred to as the Wealth Star, corresponding to the Gen trigram, which represents the mountain and the Eight White Left Assistant Star. This star signifies promotions, wealth, and real estate.
In the Year of the Dragon 2024, the Three Jade Star moves to the center, and the Eight White Left Assistant Star flies to the true north. This star belongs to the earth element, creating a conflict between earth and water if not properly arranged, which can affect your wealth.
Key Points for Arrangement:
With the Eight White Star in the north, hidden conflicts between earth and water arise. It’s recommended to place items related to the metal element in the northern part of your home or office, such as gold dragons, glass, gold ingots, or Pixiu (a mythical creature). These items act as auspicious symbols to enhance your financial luck, attract benefactors, boost your career, and ensure business success.
- Career Advancement: Key Points for the Northeast Area
Career and Work Luck: The Key Points for the Northeast Area
In traditional fortune studies, career and work luck correspond to the Six White Metal Star. In the I Ching, this is expressed as “Qian is Heaven,” representing power, management, and control, with its original position in the northeast.
In the Year of the Dragon 2024, the Three Jade Star moves to the center, and the Six White Metal Star descends to the northeast. This star, belonging to the metal element, forms the “Heaven Retreating from the Mountain” image. The northeast is highly favorable for unexpected wealth, as the Six White Wuqu Star, an auspicious star for wealth and benefactors, will be present in this area.
Key Points for Arrangement:
To attract wealth and good fortune, move your bed or sofa to this area to absorb the positive energy. You can also place yellow items like vases, rugs, crystals, or treasure bowls in the northeast part of your home or office. These items help to consolidate wealth, attract fortune, and ensure career success.
- Academic Success: Key Points for the Northwest Area
Thoughts and Ideas: Enhancing Academic Success in the Northwest Area
In ancient thinking, “Yin” refers to thoughts and ideas, symbolizing intellect, academics, and wisdom. This is often represented by the Four Jade Scholar Star.
In the Year of the Dragon 2024, the Three Jade Star moves to the center, and the Four Jade Scholar Star descends to the northwest. This star, belonging to the wood element, forms the “Wind Accumulating in Heaven” image. The Four Green Star governs family members’ academics, further studies, romantic prospects, and literary professions. It benefits not only academic pursuits but also career development and promotions for those in literary fields.
Key Points for Arrangement:
To activate this area, move your desk or study table to this location. Place items like a Wen Chang Pagoda or Lucky Bamboo in the northwest part of your home or office. These items serve as keys to boost academic luck and career success.
Additionally, the ancients valued the One White Greedy Wolf Star, representing interpersonal and romantic luck. The One White Star will fly to the true east, forming the “Water and Thunder Storing Up” image, which benefits workplace relationships, attracts benefactors, enhances spousal relationships, and boosts romantic luck.
Eastern Area: Enhancing Relationships and Romance
The east corresponds to the wood element, so avoid placing items with a metal element, such as knives, clocks, or mirrors, in this area. Instead, you can place pairs of figurines, an aquarium, or flowers that symbolize love and relationships. Wooden plants and flowers can also enhance interpersonal luck. This is especially important for those born in the Year of the Rabbit (Mao) or those with a Kua number of One White.
By carefully arranging these elements, you can boost your relationship and social luck, creating a more harmonious environment for personal and professional interactions.
