Feng Shui 2011

Feng Shui 2011- Inauspicious Areas: East, South, Center and North

East - This area will present challenging energies this year. Maintain this area of your home as quiet as possible. Do not renovate or build anything in the area. The way to calm down the bad energy here is to add metal cures, like coins, metal figurines, white or gray colors, round shapes. No wind chimes. Keep it quiet. Also avoid using reds, triangles (fire elements) in this area.

South - As in the East, you are aiming for quiet in this feng shui area. Avoid using fire colors like reds, purples, pinks, oranges. Don't use fire items, like candles, nor fire shapes, like triangles. You also need to use metal cures in this area, like you did in the East.

Center - The water element will be very good to control the energy here. You can add it with colors, shapes, images, or with a water feature. You have to limit the use of the fire and the earth element. Use metal items here. Round and white or gray objects are very good as well. (Remember metal will be important this year) Keep the activity low as well, and maximize the water element.

North - Fire will be good here. You need to maximize the fire element to help neutralize the inauspicious energy in this area. The water element should not be present this year and try to keep the area well lit. Although metal is good here this year, avoid metal wind chimes or any moving, noise making objects. The North area should be kept quiet: no renovations, construction or major changes.
