Romance matters are undoubtedly

popular reasons for any Feng Shui

consultations. We are currently on

the eighth month of Chinese lunar

calendar, where the mid autumn

festival is celebrated. For Chinese

beliefs, this festival celebrates love

and bonds in families, where

everyone gathers for a meal and

servings of delicious mooncakes.

Not only that; it is believed that

the energy of love is the highest

for this month as the full moon is

approaching on the 14th day of the

lunar month. Whether you are

attached or currently looking for

someone, here are some practical

Feng Shui tips to enhance bonds

between us and our loved ones in

this special month.

Love is in the air, it is the 8th lunar month!SPICE UP YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FENG SHUI!

FENG SHUI & ROMANCE

The first thing you need to check is of course, the place where you

recuperate and bond with your loved ones. There should be minimal

disturbances there, especially in the area of potential bad energies such

as 2 and 5 areas of flying stars. Apart from that, have you got any dark

and dimmed corners in your house that need more attention ? Before

you activate anything else, your house must not be ‘sickly’; it is ideally in

a good Feng Shui condition and smooth energy flow. Otherwise, your

‘romance cure’ may not be effective at all.

1. check your house feng shui

2. auspicious bedroom is the keyFor those who have partners or married, bedroom is like the

sanctuary of your relationship. To enhance romance, ensure your bed

is facing towards a good position (for example, Yan Nian sector in 8

mansions theory). A bedroom should produce a quiet and soothing

atmosphere. Avoid having moving water or mirrors that are facing

your bed, as they bring restlesness energy into the room.

3. activate your romance sectorThose who are actively searching for partners will need to activate

their ‘peach blossom’ sector with a vase of fresh flowers or other

items (described further at the next page). You will need your Four

Pillars of Destiny to determine this sector, and appropriate timing of

activation will also maximise the result.

SYMBOLS MAY WORK ON A SUBCONSCIOUS LEVEL. WHEN IT COMES TO ROMANCE, ANYTHING THAT WILL EVOKE GOOD FEELINGS FOR YOUR HEART WILL WORK THE SAME WAY.

4. bask under themoonlight energyFor couples who want to spice up

romance, you can make use of this

month’s strongest ‘peach blossom’

energy, which is believed to occur on

the eve of the mooncake festival night

(12th September). You can stroll

down for walk under the moonlight,

or by doing other outdoor activities

on the eve of the full moon.

5. at workplaceFor some industries, activating peach

blossom area is critical. Example of

these are hospitality, entertainment

and other industries that focus on

people and services. Business with

sales and marketing department can

enhance peach blossom in that

par t i cu l a r sec tor for be t ter

performance. We can do this by

introducing colours and room

layouts that are conducive for

people’s interaction, as well as

p l a c e m e n t o f fl owe r s w h e n

appropriate. A more detailed Feng

Shui audit will need to be done on

this to ensure maximum result.

On the final note, success in

relationship ultimately lies within our

heart’s pure intention through the

small things we do everyday. If you

are looking for partners, take

proactive actions: do not just lit

candles and wait around at home!

Let us be sincere and radiate love to

those we care all year round, and

love Qi will definitely knock back on

our door.

Happy ‘Chinese Valentine’s Day’,

everyone!

OTHER SYMBOLIC ITEMS

WHEN PEOPLE ASKED ME: ‘DO MANDARIN DUCKS WORK?’ I WOULD SAY IT DEPENDS; WHETHER YOU LIKE THE DUCKS TO BEGIN WITH, AND WHETHER YOU UNDERSTAND THE MEANING BEHIND IT.

THINGS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL FOR YOU SUCH AS THINGS FROM YOUR FIRST DATES OR HONEYMOON WILL ALSO BE A POWERFUL SYMBOL OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP. YOU CAN PUT THIS ON YOUR ROMANCE SECTOR, SO THAT IT WILL BRING YOU SMILE AND WARM FEELING EVERYTIME YOU COME ACROSS IT.

FLOWERS OR PLANTSFLOWERS AND PLANTS ADD LIVELY AND BEAUTIFUL ENERGY IN THE SECTOR. NOT ONLY THAT, IT WILL ALSO BRING OUT THE NURTURING SIDE OF A PERSON, AS YOU NEED TO WATER IT EVERY NOW AND THEN. TAKING CARE OF PLANTS MAY NOT BE EASY FOR SOME PEOPLE BUT AS FAR AS RELATIONSHIP GOES, IT TAKES EFFORT TO NURTURE IT IN YOUR HEART AS WELL!

PICTURES OF YOUR LOVED ONESPORTRAITS CAN BE POWERFUL TO EVOKE GOOD MEMORIES. CHOOSE YOUR ROMANCE SECTOR TO HAVE A DISPLAY OF FAMILY PORTRAITS IF YOU HAVE ANY. LOOKING AT THOSE WILL REMIND YOU OF THE BONDS YOU HAVE WITH YOUR LOVED ONES.

DO NOT PUT ANY DEPRESSING, DARK OR GLOOMY PAINTINGS OR IMAGES AT YOUR ROMANCE SECTOR, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO ENHANCE YOUR ROMANCE LIFE OR LOOKING FOR A PARTNER
