 There are five elements in Feng Shui and one will apply especially to you, based on the year of your birth. The elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Using your birth element as the predominant element when you are decorating your spaces will result in the best possible environment to nourish and support you. The best way to bring the energy of your element into your home is to decorate in the colors of that element. For wood decorate in greens and brown. To evoke the energy of fire use red, orange, warm purple and strong pink. Sand and earthy colors as well as light yellow and light brown correspond to the earth element. For metal decorate in white and grey. Use blues and black bring the water element into your spaces. How to calculate Your Feng Shui Birth ElementChinese years don’t correspond to the western calendar with each new year beginning on the 1st January, instead Chinese years are calculated on the Luna calendar with the year beginning on the second full moon after the winter solstice. So the first day of each will be a different date in either late January or early February. For example if you were born on 25 January 1990 your element is Earth and not Metal which is the sign for the majority of people born in 1990. Use the chart below to see the Chinese year that your birth date falls into and the element for your year:  Be sure to reference the Bagua to make sure that where you are placing the elements is constructive and not destructive!

 If you are serious about creating wealth, prosperity and abundance then treat the money that you do have seriously too! A primary expression you have of money, and of wealth energy is your wallet. The best wallet for you will help you to attract and retain money and achieve prosperity. Although the idea of ‘Feng Shui-ing’ your wallet isn’t traditional Feng Shui, Feng Shui shapes, colors, elements and principles affecting your wealth energy can definitely be applied to your wallet. The classic Feng Shui cure of clearing out the clutter applies to your wallet too. A cluttered wallet, stuffed full of receipts, coupons, photos and cards severely reduces your ability to attract wealth and abundance. It represents a lack of clarity and commitment to building wealth, a chaotic approach to money and blockages in attaining prosperity and abundance. A wallet that is full of stuff has no room to allow in money Qi to enter! So, completely empty out your wallet, take out all the cards, coins, receipts, photos – everything, and re-organize your wallet following these rules: Feng shui wallet rules
Keep your wallet or purse clean and in good repair. Zippers and clasps should work easily. If your wallet is damaged, scuffed and especially if it doesn’t close properly replace it straight away. If you are overhauling your finances, or if you have had a run of back luck with money then it is an ideal to buy yourself a new wallet ~ clear out the old negative energy and start afresh. You don’t have to spend a fortune on your wallet, but it needs to look good! And don’t use a second hand wallet as this will carry the energy of the previous owner with it. Even if they are wealthy and successful you don’t know for sure that they had good luck with money while they owned the wallet. The look of your Feng Shui wallet Chose a wallet that is made of good quality material, is large enough to comfortably fit what you need and has ample room for your money. The notes should fit in without needing to be folded. Don’t buy a wallet that is irregular in shape. The most auspicious shape for your wallet is a rectangle, one that will easily fit the notes. Select a wallet with compartments for cash, coins, cards etc. This will help you to reduce the clutter and bring an organized energy to your money. Colors for wealthThe best colors for your wallet are based on the elements and the lucky colors of wealth. Black is the ideal color for your wallet. It represents the water element, which feeds the wood element – the element of wealth. Black stands for power and depth. Black will support you in career and business advancement and promote wealth and prosperity for you. A deep rich brown also represents the wood element. Brown represents stability and responsibility with money. Brown will help you to save money. Green also represents the wood element and is a good color to choose if you are completely overhauling your finances (and your life!). Green represents new beginnings and expanding wealth. Green will increase income and business opportunities. Red, gold, deep blue and purple are also colors that attract the Qi of wealth and abundance. Avoid pale and muddy colors. Chose the color that resonates best with you. Where to keep your wallet Keep your wallet in the same place all the time. Make sure that it is a spot that is easily reached, is specifically set aside for your wallet. A space in the money corner of your home is ideal. Place your wallet here after you clear it out every day. Don’t ever just throw it down anywhere when you get home (or anytime), this shows you have no respect for money. Never place your wallet on the floor, or your hand bag either, especially if your wallet is inside. Let your newly organized wallet be a constant reminder to you of your intention to attract wealth, prosperity and abundance into your life.     The Bagua is one of the primary tools used in Feng Shui. It is, in essence, an energy map. The Bagua is divided into eight areas and each of these has an associated life area, with its own color, associated shapes and Feng Shui element connected with it. You can apply the Bagua to your home and office to enhance the positive Qi and attract more wealth, prosperity and abundance into your life. CHOOSING THE CORRECT BAGUAIt is important to note that, as Feng Shui is based on the natural environment, where the equator brings warmth and gentle winds, to be embraced, and the poles are cold and harsh, to be protected from, the Bagua diagrams for the Northern and Southern hemispheres are mirror images of each other. The East and West remain the same. So be sure to use the correct diagram when applying the principles of Feng Shui to help to draw wealth, prosperity and abundance to your home. the eight sectors of the baguaThe Bagua is divided into eight sectors. These are Recognition and Fame, Wealth and Prosperity, Family and Health, Education and Knowledge, Career Prospects, Helpful People, Children, and Marriage and Romance. Each area has associated colors, elements and shapes. These are shown on the Bagua diagrams below. HOW TO USE THE BAGUA IN YOUR HOMETo apply the Bagua to your home you will need to take a compass reading and then overlay a diagram of the Bagua over a floor plan of your home. This way you will identify which areas of your home correspond to the eight sectors of the Bagua. The Bagua can also be applied to each room individually in the same manner. If you home is long and narrow, for example, stretch the shape of Bagua to cover all of the floor plan.   Now that you have identified the Wealth and Prosperity area, also known as your Money Corner, in your home, you can enhance the area to promote the wealth energy or positive Qi to bring you prosperity and abundance. Use the colours and elements of wealth, that is greens and browns and wood to decorate this area.
