1. Pay attention to directions
This year, the best directions for your space are the west, northeast and east corners.
West corners are especially good for overall health and wellness. Use this area for sleep, rest and work. Place bright and happy colours here to enhance the good energy.
Northeast corners are good for relationships. Place florals in red, pink or purple to stimulate good energy in your personal relationships.
East corners are ideal for career and studies. Place green leafy plants in these areas for enhancements in work and education.
North and Southeast are inauspicious this year. Avoid using this area as there is a star of debility here. Place metalware here to minimise the negative energy. Metals items can include a copper clock or bowls.
