Feng shui is a practice of object placement within a place. Its purpose is to create harmony by balancing both yin and yang energies. Originating from ancient China, feng shui functions on a system of laws relating to the flow of energy and points of orientation. Today I will be covering the topic of “auspicious” directions, also known as lucky directions so that you can provide an extra boost towards the intentions you are hoping to manifest.
Find your kua number
I’m going to provide you with two web-links where you can discover your Kua number. Much like on astrology sites, all you have to do it, fill in the areas of the generator with your date of birth. They will also ask you about your sex. There you select which polarity resonates with your identity.

Read about your lucky directions
Read about your lucky directions for luck, romance, career, and self-growth. Write them down on a sheet of paper or make a note on your mobile device. Also, make a note of your not-so-lucky directions. I say this because I had originally placed items in my room meant to work positively towards my intentions, and I now believe in doing so, I was unknowingly working against them. Once you read up on and noted your directions. you are ready for the next step!

Get a compass or a compass app
If you have a compass, good for you! You are a prepared adventurer! If you’re like me, you are prepared instead with a smartphone or smart device. Go to your app store and download a compass app. I like the app Just a Compass. It’s simple and reliable.
With your compass, go stand in the middle of your bedroom, office, or any space you spend a lot of time in. Orient your body until you make note of which directions are your lucky directions. If you happened to be equipped with tape or sticky notes, you can write down the directions on them and put them on the wall marking each direction.
Make sure you start at the center of space when determining directions.

Activate your directions
Now that you are aware of your lucky directions, it is time to activate them! The easiest way to do this is to hang up corresponding images or place objects in each of the areas.
Personal Growth: Your direction for personal growth is a great direction to face when meditating, journaling, or when you are having a therapy/counseling session. You can also try facing this way when taking a class for a new hobby.
Success: When engaging in business matters or whenever your working, face this direction. In your office space or bedroom, you can also place images on the wall of your favorable direction. Place images of people you admire or those with the occupation you would like one day. If possible, have your work desk face also this direction.
Love: When going out on dates or writing messages to your person of interest, face this direction and see how much more confident you feel. You can also hang images of couples in your love direction of a room. Images could range from two swans intertwined to a photograph of a couple holding hands.
Health: When exercising, eating, or visiting a physician, face your favorable health direction to help promote an optimal experience and benefits.

Conclusion
It is important to nourish our mind, body, and spirits along our journeys. I believe a fraction of this nourishment can be found in our external spaces. One of my favorite influential people in the new age/self-help community is Marie Diamond. She is a feng shui specialist (among other things) who believes that improving your feng shui affects your manifestations by 33%. That means working towards improving your environment plays a third of the role in bringing change into your life. Use what you’ve learned today about auspicious directions to do just that. When you are working, face your success direction. When you are meditating or working out face your health or personal growth direction. I hope you found this post intriguing and that I piqued your interest to explore more about feng shui! Until next time, keep on adventuring!
