Lucky Orientations

Mak Ling Ling, discusses the geographical directions of fortune and bad luck with the "Nine Palaces Flying Star Chart" regarding ways to promote wealth, study, and love in the new year

 

 

In the Year of the Tiger, the position of wealth will be in the Northeast, so in the home or workplace we can bet on that direction, so placing fish tanks or plants in that direction, for example, would be beneficial. Alternatively, we can place some objects that symbolize wealth, such as jewelry or a chest. The Chinese usually say that “wealth does not enter through a rotten door”. In fact, it is better not to place various objects in the position of wealth. For example, if you are used to putting dirty clothes, or shoes in this direction, it will affect your wealth. 

 

 

The “school star” position is Southeast this year. This direction will help improve the academic aura, also referring to studies and exams in general. But those who are working and wish to be promoted may also pay more attention to this direction. For children and young people who are studying, they can turn their desk to a Southeast position. The “school star” originally belongs to the element of wood, and water can make wood grow, so the best decoration is four bamboo branches placed in a white vase, because the number four is from the element of wood. Bamboo raised with water represents the symbol of progress, and this progress is not limited to students, but also workers who want a promotion at work. In that case, they can place four bamboo branches in the office to promote career luck.

 

 

If you want to have a good relationship with others in the Year of the Tiger, with fewer arguments and disputes, pay attention to the East, which is the direction of conflict this year. With the arrival of the dispute star in this location, you may have more arguments, or even a lawsuit. This position is connected to the element of wood, so we must avoid placing green objects, particularly water plants, in this direction. However, fire is confronted by wood, so if we place red objects in the East we can naturally resolve disputes and lawsuits. 

 

 

Already the position of love and marriage is in the North. We can decorate this position with fresh flowers, especially orchids, and remember that if you want to promote luck in love you cannot use fake flowers. However, you should not use flowers with thorns, as thorns are a symbol of obstacles in a romantic relationship. For those who work in retail, North is also very important. Luck in love is related to popularity and interpersonal relationships, but if you are afraid of excessive popularity and wish to be more hidden from the public, you can place some pebbles, which are stones that “calm” the love star.

 

 

This year, the celebration star flies South, so for those who have been dating for many years or who are ready to get married, it is appropriate to place plants with fruit in a southly direction during Chinese New Year, such as tangerines. If you intend to have babies, you can decorate this place with objects that look like fruits or vegetables. If the front door of the house faces South, you can double your luck by placing a coloufrul red carpet, but dark colours such as grey and black do not go well in this position.

 

 

The “five yellow star” and the “two black star” arrive in the Southeast this year, and they are stars that affect physical and mental health. We must avoid doing construction work in this location, since if we frighten the stars, they will become more dangerous, and the best way to deal with them is to leave them in tranquility. The two stars belong to the element of Earth. From the Earth comes gold, so placing metal objects can weaken the disease stars. Southwest is not suitable for sitting and lying down for long periods of time, so if your bed is facing Southwest it is best not to be covered with red sheets. Try using white sheets, which is of the element of gold.
