There should be no shoes or slippers lying around outside the main door of your house. Remove it if you can. Allow that space at the main door to be free and clear. The chi (energy) rides with the wind and will collect all the smell of those shoes and slippers into your house causing sickness. Ch’i then travels about in your house looking for water to stay but if there are no water fountains or fish tanks, then the Ch’i will be dispersed by wind. What about having skateboard ramps i hear my friend asking..?? outside of the house. No problems with that of course.
The most auspicious location of the month! This September sees Northwest Palace a boon for those who are keen in consolidating their finances. Those who need to re-organize their haphazard financial planning should do so in the Northwest – you will find your arduous task easy to handle.

Most people assume the front is the direction your front door faces but it is not difficult to figure out where the front is - it is like buying car accessories try and imagine you are in my home (while you are there can you do some ironing and dusting please) as you stand in the centre of my home you will be in my dining room with the living room and hallway and kitchen either side, I have five large windows and one small facing north, there is a road outside and a public footpath also my front garden, but I do not have a front door there. On the east wall I have a main door with porch and one window, which looks onto the next-door neighbours house.
Hopefully you will get the idea by now, because my front door faces east it does not mean this is the front of my home, my facing direction is north, this is where the most “Yang” (activity) energy is, the road, footpath, people and cars going by, the widest part of the building, if you were the architect designing my home from scratch you would definitely put my front door there. This part is very very important, as when you calculate any school of Feng Shui you need to know which way your property faces. If you take my house again (make sure you lift the ornaments and dust underneath) although I may have a driveway leading to the garage and front main door, for example assume at the back I now have a main road, pedestrian footpath, lots of people and activity and even a lovely stream, you guessed it, this would now be my front direction as this is where all my Yang energy is, this is not uncommon when you think about it, drive down any main road you will see many homes with back gardens facing the road and yet they will always think this is the rear in Feng Shui terms. This can be hard to judge even for the most seasoned Master especially if you are on the top floor of a block of flats or a large office building.
To further augment your popularity, tap into Flying Stars Feng Shui. The star you want to look up to is the #1 White, also known as one of the most benevolent stars in the system for happiness, and known for its fame Feng Shui.

Fishes have always been a symbol of wealth and prosperity in Chinese culture. Undeniably, the fish has always been regarded as the symbol of abundance besides having wall candle sconces. This is not just because the phonetics of the word fish (yu) meant aplenty or abundance, but it is also because in reality, fishes are almost unlimited in supply.
Because fishes have impressive reproductive abilities, it is seen as a symbol of fertility. As they swim joyously and freely in the pond, it is a sign of happiness and matrimonial harmony.

The money frog, also known as the chan chu, the three-legged toad or Wealth toad, is a powerful wealth symbol. This mythical creature is said to appear every full moon near homes which the residents will receive good news the very next day. In ancient China, these mythical frogs are believed to be the bringer of fortune.
They are traditionally placed next to the Altar of the Earth God. Commonly used today as symbols of wealth, our friendly froggy friend should be placed near cash registrars, receptions, managers’ desk and offices of many successful businesses in Oriental countries. At home, the money frog is placed in the corners of the living room or family rooms to enhance wealth chi of the household.
The money frog is kept in the corner diagonally across from the entrance to a room. The corner of a room is known to be the focal point where Qi, or positive energy gathers. The money frog is placed in these corners to activate what is traditionally believed to be ‘Wealth Luck’ of the household.
