Basic Feng Shui Tips For Home - Things to Avoid

You may think you do not need good luck to boost your career or make you rich, because you believe in your ability in getting them.  However, you may not want bad luck come to you and bring you unfortunate events such as illness, litigation or divorce.

In order to keep the bad luck away, you should:

1. Not use any light fixture that consists of 2, 3, or 5 light bulbs. 

In Flying Stars theory, the stars #2, #3 and #5 are stars representing bad lucks.  The #3 is bad, #2 is worse and the worst one is #5.  In order not to attract these 3 stars to your home, you should not put anything that represents 2, 3 or 5.  Light fixtures are hung to the ceiling and it is the easiest way to attract stars from above.  Therefore, you should not use any light fixture that consists of 5 light bulbs, 2 bulbs or 3 bulbs.  Since both stars #2 and #5 are Earth in nature and light fixtures are Fire, having a light with 2 or 5 light bulbs will very likely attract theses two stars.

If you use pot lights or spot lights, the number of light bulbs will depend on how many pot lights and spot lights you can control by that switch.  Moreover, since both stars #2 and #5 represent Earth in the 5 Elements; you should not place too many Earth items at home, such as fine china, ceramics and potteries. 

2. Not place a sink or a fridge opposite or next to a stove. 

Sink and fridge represent Water and stove represents Fire.  Placing them together will create health problem for you and there will be many quarrels among family members.  By the same token, a centre island with a sink is not good at all since it will be facing your stove no matter where you put the stove.  Similarly, a centre stove is not good in Feng Shui as it will face to a sink in one of the four directions.

3. Have a clean and neat bathroom.

Dripping faucet represents money going away from your home.  You should always fix a dripping faucet as soon as possible.  Bathroom should always be kept clean and dry.  You should install an exhaust fan in it to take out excessive moisture and bad odours.  Both bathroom and moisture are Yin, excessive moisture will add too much Yin to the home.

Bad odour coming from the sinks is a kind of Sha and should be eliminated.  The bad odour from sinks is generated by the bacteria inside the U-trap of the pipe.  The best method to eliminate that bad odour is to pour a pot of boiling water into the drain to kill those bacteria.

More advice can be obtained by consulting a Feng Shui practitioner.  Good Luck!
