Zodiac Signs and Feng Shui (2)
From Zodiac Predictions to Traditional Feng Shui Thinking In this article, we continue the discussion from the previous installment by revisiting the example of the Zodiac Sheep. Using this case, we will examine how a traditional Chinese Feng Shui practitioner approaches zodiac-based predictions, rather than relying on simplified or symbolic interpretations.

Zodiac Signs and Feng Shui (1)
At the beginning of the New Year, I wish everyone good fortune and blessings in the Year of the Horse. 2026 is the Chinese lunar Year of the Horse. In professional Chinese Feng Shui terminology, it is known as the Bing-Wu year (丙午). The zodiac name “Horse” is the common name for the second character, “Wu” (午), and it is one of the twelve signs in the traditional Chinese zodiac system.

Bagua Feng Shui Series (4)
In Chinese Feng Shui, the front door is critically important. Different Feng Shui schools have their own unique theories regarding the front door. However, despite their differences, the key focus is essentially the same—it can be analyzed from two main perspectives.

Bagua Feng Shui: Everyday Practical Guide (3)
According to Feng Shui theory, the front door of a building is regarded as the main entrance of Qi and is considered the most important part of the structure. Many classical Feng Shui texts emphasize this point, describing the front door as “the key element that determines the fortune or misfortune of a household,” or “the entrance of Qi for the dwelling, just like the human mouth through which we breathe.” Building on this idea, Feng Shui also views a residence as a living body, with the front door functioning as its “mouth,” through which it breathes.

Bagua Feng Shui: Everyday Practical Guide (2)
The Eight Trigrams (Bagua) are ancient divination symbols with a history spanning thousands of years. Each trigram represents one of eight natural phenomena in the ancient Chinese worldview: Heaven (sky, universe), Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Lake.

Bagua Feng Shui: Everyday Practical Guide (1)
Preface Starting today, I am launching a new series titled “Bagua Feng Shui.” Unlike my previous topical articles, this series will systematically introduce authentic Chinese Feng Shui. At its heart lies the Bagua Map—a concept that often appears in Western Feng Shui, though frequently misused. For many readers, the true meaning of this map remains unfamiliar. In this series, I will share fundamental Bagua knowledge together with practical Feng Shui applications drawn from this chart—applications you can use in everyday life.

Spring Feng Shui Tips for Your Home: Seasonal Adjustments (Part 2)
In Feng Shui, seasonal adjustment is more than just a practical method—it reflects a core principle of Chinese Feng Shui: living in harmony with nature’s rhythms and bringing balance into our daily lives. Each season carries a distinct energy through the lens of the Five Elements. Learning how to align with these natural shifts allows us to support our health, mindset, and surroundings in subtle yet powerful ways.

2025 Year of the Snake: The Feng Shui Secrets Behind Rooster & Ox Luck
At the end of my last blog, I mentioned a Feng Shui adjustment method called “the Three Harmonies.” I will introduce this concept in more depth in this blog because of its strong connection to the Chinese Zodiac. The Three Harmonies principle was first introduced in Interior Design with Feng Shui by Sarah Rossbach.

The Misinterpretations of Bagua in Western Feng Shui
Introduction To truly master a subject, one must diligently study its underlying theories rather than blindly accepting information. This is especially true for Feng Shui, one of the most complex and profound fields in Chinese culture. At a minimum, Feng Shui researchers should obtain accurate information directly from authentic Chinese Feng Shui sources.

Which Zodiac Signs Are Most Affected in the Year of the Snake, and Why?
As each Chinese New Year approaches, Feng Shui practitioners share predictions about the fortunes of each zodiac sign for the coming year.
