IN the
Year of the Earth Rat, what lucky charms can we put in
our house?
Say, for
the living room, bedroom, kitchen, garden, garage...and
so on?
To know
what kind of lucky charms to put inside the house, it is
important to check the direction of the main entrance
door, the bedroom (in relation to the entire house), the
bed headboard and the bedroom entrance door.
For this
year, the lucky directions are the East, Southeast and
Northeast. Therefore, to invite more luck into the
house, it is good to motivate and enhance the rooms that
fall in these areas of the house. If, for example, the
living room or the main entrance door is situated in the
East direction/location of the house where the “Wealth
Star” is located for the year, then motivate this
direction by putting a Prince of Wealth to bring more
money luck into the house.
Conversely, the unlucky directions of the year are
South, Northwest and West. Therefore, to ensure that the
house is not affected by the unlucky directions of the
year, especially if the main entrance door, bedroom (in
relation to the whole house) and bed headboard lie in
these unlucky locations, people should put the
appropriate feng shui cure for these directions. Each
direction will have a different feng shui cure. But,
for example, if their main door is facing South, where
the “Disaster Star” of the year is located, then put a
feng shui Brass Gong beside the entrance door.
A common
mistake in a lot of houses we see is having windchimes
and fake fortune plants (bamboo).
If we’re
going to redecorate our house, what color or type of
furniture can you suggest to attract positive vibes in
the Rat Year?
Each
person has his own birthday, therefore, when deciding on
what lucky colors and type of furniture he/she should
get (be it wood or metal, etc.), he/she has to check
with a qualified feng shui consultant to find out what
the appropriate colors are for him/her. These
appropriate lucky colors (like his/her birthday) will
never change regardless of the year.
For
those planning to build a house, are there key
considerations they should bear in mind, like what
direction—east, west—should the main door face? The back
door?
To find
out whether a lot is lucky to build a house on, there
are a lot of factors to consider. One is what direction
the lot is facing. Second, what year the house will be
built and, third, what are the birthdates of the people
who will be living in the house. Only with this
information can one make an accurate recommendation of
where the main door should face, where the bedrooms,
kitchen, etc., should be located.
This is
just a trivia question: For homeowners, what would
happen if they kill the rats in their homes? Or the
farmers killing wild rats eating rice grains in the
field? Will it bring bad luck? Should we get rid of
mouse trap and poison for a while since it’s their year?
There is
no problem if the if homeowners kill rats in their
homes, or if the farmers kill the wild rats eating their
grains; otherwise, they might have a hygiene problem or
catch some disease that the rats carry. |
