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…
Does your home still look the way it did in January? Most homes are decorated once and then left alone. The light changes, the air changes, the trees outside change, and the room stays exactly as it was. In the classical Chinese reading of a home, that is the one thing the year never does:…
What is your Kua number, and what does knowing it actually change? Most people meet the Kua number the same way. A calculator asks for a birth year and a gender category, returns a single digit, and explains nothing else. The number sits there while the reader wonders whether the bed needs to move. In…
Can two people be wrong for each other because their feng shui numbers point in different directions? It is a tempting question, because it promises a clean answer.

Most people think of health feng shui as a list of things to avoid. Do not sleep under a beam. Do not put the bed in line with the door. Do not let the air go stale. The list is useful, but it is also beside the point. Health, in the classical view, is not…
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…
