Today’s Feng Shui Friday: Renovations
When it comes to renovations timing is everything!
The energy in our spaces isn’t static, it changes constantly from day to month to year. This means that at any given moment of time some spaces contain more positive energy than others. The job of a Feng Shui consultant is to pinpoint both where and when.
Each year there are specific areas in our spaces which carry negative energy and can cause problems when disturbed. Specifically, we take note of the annual locations of the 5 Yellow Star, the 3 Killing Forces, and the Grand Duke sector.
This year the 5 Yellow is in the Southwest sector, the 3 Killings are located in the West, and the Grand Duke is in the Pig Sector in the Northwest. Therefore, these sectors should be kept quiet avoiding renovations to the building and ground disturbances to the exterior.
Of course the big question is what happens when you have no choice but to renovate in those areas? Well the good news is that a Feng Shui professional will know which dates, specific to your home, are safe for renovation allowing you to you to plan accordingly. In the event you do disturb some negative Qi there are also key activations that can be done in positive areas to offset the negative ones.
I recently had to undertake some renovations including a major tear down in the East sector of my home to prepare for winter and also to get ahead of the 5 Yellow star energy that is coming next year. I was careful to pin point sectors that were safe to renovate and to only disturb areas that should not be renovated during a specific, safe window of time. This planning ensures that my home is maintained and the benefits of the positive energy I receive from my home are maintained as well.
If you are thinking about renovating it is really important to consult with a Feng Shui expert first to see what sector the proposed renovation falls into, and to help you coordinate the right time to make the changes. Why not make the most of your renovation both aesthetically and energetically – it really does make a big difference!
