Where do you start with feng shui when you have never done any of it — and when your home is not a house but one flat inside a building, on a block, on a street where other people also live? Most beginner guides treat a home as if it floats. It does not. Your…
Does every plant count as good feng shui? No — and the distinction is more practical than it sounds. In the classical reading, a living plant is wood: it is growth, it is the one element that visibly adds to a room every week. But the same tradition that favours plants also tells you to…
What is your Kua number, and what does knowing it actually change? Most people meet the Kua number the same way.

Of all the schools of feng shui, Flying Stars is the one that most rewards patience and most punishes rushing. It is the system that tracks how energy moves through a building over time, and it is the reason a room in your house does not stay the same room from one year to the…
