This suggests that positive energy is in a state of dormancy, it must be activated in order for it to start working for us. Feng Shui rules for an apartment will help with this. By observing them, you can gradually improve your life.
Feng Shui apartment number
Numbers have always been of great importance. Fortune-telling was carried out on them, important holidays with a mystical origin were tied to dates. In China, the belief in numbers is especially widespread. Feng Shui attributes great importance to even seemingly insignificant numbers of apartments and houses. The door is a separator between external and internal space, a portal to your individual world, and an apartment is extremely important. The well-being of all those living inside largely depends on which number hangs on the door.
Feng Shui lucky apartment numbers are 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9 ... One is always the beginning of something new, birth, which is a happy event. Two is balance, like yin and yang. The number three in all cultures has a mystical power, and six and nine are multiples of three, therefore, they also bring happiness. In addition, the nine represents the culmination of the cycle and the imminent achievement of the top. Plus, the Chinese word nine means longevity.
Number four is best avoided and is considered unfortunate. It sounds like death in Chinese. The number seven is also unlucky. Five is just neutral, bringing neither happiness nor unhappiness. When the apartment number consists of one digit, it is easy to judge it. If you have a two-, three- or four-digit number, you need to add all the numbers, and continue adding until you get a number from 1 to 9. Example: for apartment number 156, add 1 + 5 + 6 = 12 , then perform the following action 1 + 2 = 3. And by the number three to judge the energy in the apartment.

There are several basic rules that must be followed if you want to establish an atmosphere in the house and activate useful energy:
- Get rid of the trash. Everything that has long ceased to benefit you, has lost its original appearance, is broken, cracked, does not function should be removed from the house without regrets. This will clear the way and space for new energy that will fill your home and bring prosperity.
- Protect the entrance to the apartment in Feng Shui. To prevent the negative energy of people coming to you from penetrating, hang a mirror over the front door. It will reflect and return the negative to the one who came with it. This method is good in the fight against damage and curses.
- Provide free space and light in the hallway and living room. Do not keep clothes and shoes that have passed the season. Keep these two rooms clean and tidy.
- Keep an eye on the headboard of your furniture. There should not be an empty space behind the bed, sofa, armchairs, they should be placed against a wall or partition, which serve as a symbol of support and confidence in different life situations.
- Pay attention to the location of the windows and doors. Feng Shui of an apartment is important in the details. If the door in the room is opposite the window, the energy flies out of the house. The situation can be corrected with the help of a tall living plant on the windowsill. The plant should have round leaves that will hold the energy of the house.
Feng Shui paintings for an apartment
Pictures that complement your apartment design, according to Feng Shui, can act both positively and negatively. To avoid the second, you need to make sure that the images on them evoke positive emotions, and not feelings of anxiety or anxiety. It is better not to bring aggressive and hostile pictures into the house. You should also avoid posting portraits of deceased relatives and celebrities who are no longer alive. Abstract and incomprehensible pictures are also undesirable. They do not carry any message, and sometimes they contain a hidden negative meaning that you do not even know about.
Arrangement of furniture in the apartment according to Feng Shui
Furniture should not interfere with the movement of Qi energy, therefore the question of how to furnish an apartment in Feng Shui is very important. So, the main points:
- place tall cabinets against solid walls and preferably away from doors;
- doors and stairs should not be reflected in the mirrored doors of furniture;
- high backs of chairs and armchairs are preferable; their seats must be turned towards the window;
- it is better to choose a round table - it is more friendly;
- the TV does not need to be installed with the screen to a window or door;
- the bed must be placed with the headboard against the wall, and the door to the room must be visible from it;
- in the kitchen, you need to zone the room, dividing the elements of fire and water with a table, shelf, wardrobe.
Feng Shui aquarium in the apartment
Water objects such as an aquarium or a fountain in a Feng Shui apartment are simply irreplaceable. The energy of water activates three important zones at once, therefore the rules of Feng Shui in an apartment assume the presence of at least one such object. At the same time, its size should correspond to the room in order to favor the accumulation of energy of money, career and family, and not to wash out what is. At the same time, there must be constant movement of water and good lighting in the aquarium. The number of fish in it must be odd.
Indoor plants in Feng Shui in the apartment
They bring a certain energy. Their correct choice and arrangement will help to harmonize the atmosphere in the house. These should be plants that stretch upward and preferably have rounded leaves. Flowers with masculine energy are dracaena, lemon, asparagus, chlorophytum, etc. From the female one - violet, fat woman, begonia, cyclamen. For a harmonious distribution of energy, it is advisable to have plants in the house with one and the other energy. To keep the flower's energy field always active, take good care of it, show love and care for it.
Feng Shui mirrors in the apartment
When starting to study how to equip an apartment in Feng Shui, people will certainly face the issue of placing mirrors. This powerful magic item is capable of attracting and repelling energy depending on its location. The mirrors of your house should not reflect the front door, the bed, the impartial landscape outside the window. But the dining table, reflected in the mirror, promises the addition of wealth. Reflection of a picturesque landscape also has a positive effect - this is how additional beauty will enter your home every day.
Today, in the modern world of cosmic speeds and constant stress, there are more and more followers of the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui. Feng Shui is an ancient science that studies the principles of preserving and redistributing the harmony of space, the flow of energies of space, their impact on the environment of a person, on his emotional and physical health, as well as on his successes and achievements.
Feng Shui is based on the teaching of the vital energy Qi, which is scattered around in greater or lesser concentrations in different places. The followers of the teachings believe that Chi energy can be controlled.
According to the principles of Feng Shui, any space or room can be divided into zones, each of which is responsible for a specific area of human activity. To divide the zones into Feng Shui, the so-called Bagua grid is used. The Feng Shui zone diagram is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 - Bagua grid or Feng Shui zone diagram
The Bagua grid is a regular octagonal shape with a trigram on each side. Simply put, a trigram is a combination of the masculine and feminine Yin and Yang symbols.
Each person, according to their unique qualities, can be attributed to a certain trigram. Each sector in the Bagua grid with an angle of 45 degrees corresponds to a specific area. Feng Shui colors correspond to each zone.
There are the following Feng Shui Bagua zones:
- wealth zone;
- health zone;
- career zone;
- zone of creativity;
- area for helpers;
- knowledge zone;
- love zone;
- zone of glory (self-realization).
How to identify Feng Shui zones
To determine the Feng Shui zones in an apartment, it is best to use a documentary plan, taking into account the storage rooms, toilet and utility rooms. Take a photocopy of the document for the apartment with a magnification of two to three times. On the same scale, sketch out the Bagua mesh with the designation of the zones. Roughly define the center of your apartment on the plan and connect to the center of the Bagua grid.
Determine the side of the world (south, north, east, west) where the windows of your apartment face. Now you need to position the Bagua grid on the plan in such a way that it mirrors the cardinal directions in reality.
For example, the south should actually match the north on the Bagua grid, the east should match the west, and so on. Mark out the rays of the diagram and draw them from the center on the plan.
Label each sector with the appropriate zone. Now you know in which part of the apartment you have this or that Feng Shui zone. By the way, studying the Bagua grid will also come in handy when drawing up a wish map.
To determine the Feng Shui zones in a room, stand in the center of the room and mentally divide it into eight parts. In practice, this can be done by drawing a center with chalk and drawing a circle with a radius of 0.5 meters.
Stand in the center and determine which side of the world the windows of the room face. If this is north, then when overlaying the Bagua grid, it will turn out that in this part there will be a zone of glory, that is, south. If the windows face south, then according to the teachings of Feng Shui, there will be a career zone, that is, north.
It is important to correctly determine the location of the Feng Shui zones in the room, otherwise the effect may be the opposite.
How to strengthen Feng Shui zones
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, each person has eight categories in the sphere of which events occur that radically affect his activities, successes and failures, mood, relationships with others and even fate. Above, we determined the correspondence of these categories to the zones on the Bagua grid and determined their location in the layout of the house where you live.
In order for the Feng Shui philosophy to work in full force, it is necessary to strengthen the zones. The zones of the apartment are activated by placing certain objects that enhance the Qi energy in each specific zone. So, for example, to activate the zone of wealth, along the Bagua grid - this is the southeast, it is enough to install an aquarium or a decorative fountain in this sector, you can hang talismans - symbolic Chinese money tied with a red ribbon.
In order for the effect of the correct placement of objects in the zones to be obtained, it is enough to activate several zones that are most important to you. For example, only zones of wealth, health and career.
Or just zones of creativity, love and health. The effect of activating only a few zones will be large-scale and will affect all areas of activity. Feng Shui activation of zones is a way to change the energetic capabilities of your apartment and increase the impact on certain areas of your life. Now let's talk a little about Feng Shui zones.
Wealth zone
By revitalizing this sector, we hope to improve the financial condition and cash flow. The zone of wealth along the Bagua grid corresponds to the cardinal direction - southeast.
The main colors of this zone are green and purple. The element is water. Water is an important component of all life on earth and it is with it that the talismans working in this zone are associated.
You can activate the wealth zone by installing mini-fountains with babbling running water or an aquarium with live fish. Stagnant water in this sector will not work, and musty and covered with a lid in this case will play a bad role and will bring not profit, but losses.
Another talisman - a ship model, brings the owner good luck in business. It is important, in turn, to orient the sailboat inside the room with its bow.
Health zone
The health zone is in the east of the Bagua grid, and in the center of the diagram. The main color is terracotta, the element is earth. The main talismans of this zone are considered to be paintings depicting cranes against a background of pine trees. Do you remember these in Soviet times?
So now is the time to rummage through the closets, wash and hang them in the center of your apartment. It turns out that people lived according to Feng Shui in Soviet times! And by the way, the crystal chandeliers, especially the round ones that hung in our Soviet apartments, are also excellent talismans for the health zone!
Peaches are also a symbol of health. They can be put on the table fresh, by the way, the dining table itself is also the talisman of this zone and it should be placed, if possible, in the middle of your room. Also, all sorts of interesting things, figurines, positive books, CDs with songs and videos posted in the health sector have a good effect.
Career zone
Reference point - north, element - water, colors - black, blue and light blue. At work, a person spends most of his life, success at work and moving up the career ladder sometimes get very hard, for a long time, and sometimes nothing happens at all.
If you want to change something in your work, move up the career ladder, get another position or change your profession, then you just need to activate this sector.
To activate the career zone, the turtle is best suited - a talisman of reliability, crawling slowly but surely towards its goal. The more turtles you place in this area, the better. Water talismans - sailboats, aquariums, fountains, paintings depicting water - will also have a good effect.
Zone for children and creativity
The main colors of this zone are white, metallic, silver and gold, the element of the zone is metal, the zone of creativity is located in the west of the Bagua grid.
This area is not only responsible for creativity, but is also considered a children's area. This is taking care of children, the success of children, maternal happiness, everything that concerns children - by activating this sector, you can achieve good results in raising children and creative success.
Good talismans for the creative zone are "wind chimes" - bells that are hung in shops at the door. It is important that the tubes of the bells are hollow, without sharp edges. Figures of small children are also considered the talismans of this zone.
Helper area
It is also a travel zone. Located in the northwest of the chart, the colors are white, metallic, gold, and silver.
Activating this zone allows you to find a patron among your superiors, get a lobby, get support from the outside, take a serene ride, have a great vacation, etc.
To activate, you need images of angels, portraits of well-known and authoritative people, icons of saints.
Knowledge Zone

The main talisman is a snake, any images of a snake, figurines, various crystals.
A good effect is given by activating the zone with the help of porcelain vases, figurines - in their manufacture, clay is used, which belongs to the elements of the earth in its properties. You can place a globe in this area, which is also an excellent earth talisman.
Love zone
Oriented to the southwest of the diagram, element - earth, color - terracotta. The name itself suggests what this sector is responsible for. Everything related to romantic, marital relations, stability in relationships, fidelity and sexual relations takes on great importance in this area.
You can activate this zone with the help of paired things - figurines of a man and a woman kissing, your joint photo in which you are happy, fresh flowers, chocolates, hearts, etc.
Glory zone
Fire zone - the main element of this sector is fire. The color is supposed to be red. This zone can be activated by installing additional lamps. The main talismans are a figurine of a dove, other birds are also possible (not predatory, and not wooden figurines).
Put all your achievements in the glory zone: cups, diplomas, medals and other awards, as well as the symbols of your birth: astrological signs, the image of the constellation, your zodiac sign, etc.
Determination of zones according to Feng Shui is fundamental in the study of methods of influence of surrounding objects on human life. The knowledge of Feng Shui has existed for almost 4,000 years, during this time many people have taken advantage of the experience of their ancestors accumulated over centuries and found their happiness.
And there is no such book that could describe all knowledge and the whole philosophy of teaching. Feng Shui is a way of life, an understanding of the ways of placing energy in space and methods of managing this energy, these are techniques that are often lost over the centuries, and are discovered again and again every day. Feng Shui is logic that borders on the magic of objects.
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, we can change the space in which we live in order to become happier, stronger, more successful, more successful and richer. However, to understand all the laws of Feng Shui, of which there are many, is a painstaking and troublesome business. Feng Shui masters study and practice for a long time in order to master all the subtleties of this ancient philosophical art.
What are we mere mortals to do? Well, for starters, the best advice that we will give you is to order a Feng Shui consultation from a real Feng Shui specialist. This will save your time as much as possible. And the result - if a real specialist - will be appropriate. However, if you are not yet ripe for the professional intervention of a Feng Shui specialist in your life, then you can use a few simple techniques yourself.
How to find the right exposure zone in the house?
So, step one. We find our main tool on the Internet - the Bagua map. We print and cut with scissors. We put it in the middle of the house. Everything is almost ready, except for one thing: it is not clear how to orient the map. The north zone should face north.
Therefore, step two. We take a compass in hand. A simple compass or Feng Shui compass is not that important. Do you know which part of the arrow points north? That's right, usually the one that is somehow marked or colored in a special way. Found north? Rotate the Bagua katu so that the north zone aligns with the one pointed to by the compass. Ready!
On the sides of the Bagua map, you can see where which zone is in your house. The map shows what each zone is responsible for.
Step three - determine what you want in life. Love? Wealth? Career advancement? Children's well-being? Spiritual growth? Have you decided? Now we activate the zone.
How to activate the selected zone?
The number one rule of thumb for success in Feng Shui is: before activating any zone, please “turn on” the correct energy throughout the house using the laws of Feng Shui. You can read how to do this here.
I want love.
Zone: Southwest. Feng Shui of love is activated primarily by paired objects and talismans. One of the most famous in Chinese philosophy is the mandarin ducks, a symbol of fidelity. Also, since we live in the modern world, we can place any symbols in the love zone that carry the meaning of love for us - photographs and pictures of couples in love, hearts, valentines. Chinese texts recommend the image of peonies. The element of the southwest is the Big Earth. The earth is warmed by fire. Symbols and colors of fire that should activate the zone: red and orange colors, candles. It is appropriate to put the candles in pairs. The area must be well lit. Do not place symbols of the element of a tree, for example, flowers in pots, in the love zone.
I want wealth.
Zone - South-East. Element - Small tree. The tree feeds water, so we place a fountain or an aquarium in this area. Place 8 goldfish and one black fish in the aquarium. Install a money tree - alive (the name of the plant is a tree-like tree) or artificial, with leaves made of stone or Feng Shui talisman coins. The zone can contain symbols such as a ship, Hotei, Feng Shui coins, a three-legged money toad with a coin in its mouth (the coin must be free to hold!). Don't put land symbols in the wealth zone.
I want career advancement.
Zone - North. Element - Water. According to Feng Shui philosophy, water is stimulated by metal. Therefore, we activate the career zone with items related to this element: metal items, items of gold and silver color. In the modern world, in the Feng Shui zone, you can place any objects-symbols of prosperity: for example, an image of an expensive mobile phone, cufflinks - everything that means "a successful career" to you. Also, a metal turtle and even a metal typewriter are recommended. Do not place fire symbols in the quarry area.
I want the welfare of the children.
Zone - West. Element - Small metal. Metal is activated by the symbols of the element of Earth and the symbols of the element of Fire are contraindicated for it. Therefore, in this area it is appropriate to place plants in pots, natural stones. Also in this area, place drawings and crafts of children, toys. Do not place antique or second-hand items in this area. The western zone in the house is ideal for placing a children's room.
I want spiritual growth.
You already have love, wealth and children. What more could you want? Of course, spiritual growth and personal development. Yes, even if there is still nothing of this, all the same, according to the philosophy of Feng Shui, like any other philosophy - it is spiritual growth that is the main thing in life. As they say, everything else will follow. The zone you need is East. Her element is a Big Tree. Wood activates water and suppresses metal. Therefore, place symbols of water in this area and refrain from anything gold, silver and metal.
In order to accurately determine and activate the zones of an apartment in Feng Shui, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the basic principles of Eastern teachings, which considers housing as the main factor affecting the fate and energy potential of a person. Every house, apartment or room has an aura on which the health, well-being and success of the residents depends.
The apartment number has a semantic meaning
To determine the apartment number in accordance with Eastern teachings, add the digits of the house and apartment numbers. For example, house 35, apartment 164 is reduced to the following form: 3 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 4 = 19 => 1 + 9 = 10 => 1 + 0 = 1. Each number has a direct impact on household members:
- if the Feng Shui apartment number is equal to one, then the energy of independence, creative energy and healthy risk hovers in it;
- number two provides a harmonious combination of masculine and feminine principles, defines a life of love and harmony;
- apartment number three will help to realize the potential of open and energetic people;
- the four contributes to gaining a sense of security in the house or room, improving health, helping to find a job to your liking and reliable friends;
- people seeking to develop their intellect and acquire new knowledge should look for apartment number 5. Photos of Feng Shui apartments corresponding to this number are presented in purple shades, with accents in the form of historical artifacts and travel attributes;
- in the house marked with six, the desire for all-embracing love, a passionate attitude to the profession and a caring approach to all aspects of life reign;
- the atmosphere of housing, corresponding to the seven, is conducive to asceticism and spiritual development;
- people living in apartment number eight are accompanied by success in love, in any endeavors and areas of life;
- nine gives calmness and self-sufficiency, regardless of financial situation. Therefore, it is undesirable for people with ambitious plans to live in such apartments.
Apartment zoning
It is possible to determine the Feng Shui zones in an apartment (one-room or with a large area) using the Bagua scheme, which divides the space into nine zones. To obtain the exact location of Feng Shui zones in a house or room, a magic scheme is applied to the plan of the house in accordance with the cardinal points. Finding a photo of a diagram is not difficult and does not take much time, but the reward for creative work will be positive changes in life.
Financial Wellness Sector
The Feng Shui wealth zone is located in the southeast. To attract financial flow, install in the room aquarium with fish or a small fountain. In a one-room apartment, to activate energy flows, they have Money Tree, a pyramid of stone, or a model of a yacht with the bow oriented deep into the room. Fire symbols cannot be placed in this sector: candles and red objects.
Health sector
The health zone is in the east and center of the Bagua scheme. The main talismans of the sector are paintings and photos depicting animals and nature, houseplants and wood products. The center of the health zone should be as illuminated as possible, ideally glass or crystal chandelier with an abundance of faceted crystals.
To activate the health zone, Feng Shui experts recommend placing potted plants or a bonsai tree in the eastern part of the zone. If there is a table in the health sector, then a vase filled with fruits should become its indispensable decoration.
Love and marriage sector
This section of the apartment is located in the southwest direction and requires activation if it is necessary to improve relations in marriage or make new acquaintances. The love zone should be well lit, and in the sector it is also necessary to place a joint photo with the subject of your passion. The presence of paired symbols of love is obligatory: two candles of red and white color, figurines of kissing doves, as well as postcards in the shape of a heart and decent erotic photos.
Glory Zone
The sector is located in the south and symbolizes your achievements. If you need to reach new heights in the profession or study, place diplomas and awards in the zone of fame, a photo with your image at the time of the presentation of awards, statuettes of birds.

To consolidate career success, it is advisable to place a small fountain in the center of the sector. In conditions studio apartment support will be provided by a photo or painting depicting a pond, as well as paired turtle figurines.

Place figurines of protector deities, children's crafts and photos, fresh flowers in this area.
Feng Shui in a studio apartment
A one-room apartment or a huge house - according to Eastern teachings, the size of a dwelling does not affect any of the spheres of life! The above methods for defining sectors and how to activate them are suitable for small one-room apartments, rooms, and even tables. It is no coincidence that people of the East decorate tables with fruit vases, figurines or metal saucers. For proper zoning, use the Bagua grid and activate the desired zone.
Advice! Areas of a one-room apartment intended for vigorous activity should have intense lighting and brightly decorated areas.
Secrets of activating feng shui zones
It is recommended to create Feng Shui apartments at the stage of renovation or purchase of housing. Small city apartments, especially one-room apartments, do not allow to take full advantage of the wisdom of their ancestors. But the influence of space on a person cannot be canceled, and methods of correcting space and neutralizing negative energy come to the rescue. With the help of simple actions, try to attract well-being and good luck to your home:
- Clean and free-flowing energy feeds everyone in the household, so keeping order should become a permanent habit. Avoid clutter and dust accumulation, regularly empty cabinets and shelves from unnecessary things.
- Fix any broken appliances in your home or dispose of them without regret. Replace burned out light bulbs.
- Dispose of cracked, broken dishes.
- Neutralize unpleasant odors and eliminate their sources.
- Do not store money near water pipes or in a toilet.
- Flowers and pets noticeably improve the feng shui of an apartment or house.

Arrangement of an apartment according to the laws of Feng Shui will help to increase its energy potential, reduce or completely neutralize the harmful effects of unfavorable zones and negative energy. To properly organize your living space, first of all, you need to install Feng Shui zones in the apartment.

According to the ancient teachings of Feng Shui, everything that happens in the life of every person can be divided into nine main areas. All of them are reflected by an octagon or a Bagua grid. Feng Shui uses it as the main tool for assessing and analyzing the energy of any room. This octagon is an energy map divided into nine sectors, each of which corresponds to one of the main aspects of life and a specific area in the room. Well-being, well-being, success and other spheres of a person's life will depend on how correctly such zones are equipped.
To designate Feng Shui zones in an apartment, you will need a compass, a Bagua grid or a simplified version of it - the Lo-Shu square (they can be printed on a printer), as well as a plan of the apartment. You can find the exact plan in the documents for your house. If for some reason this is impossible, try to draw it yourself.
First, use the compass to determine where north is in your home. Now mark it on the plan of the apartment, take the Bagua grid (you can also use the Lo-shu square) and attach it to the plan so that the north is aligned with the north. Well, then, according to the marking, set all the other zones.
In the absence of a compass, just remember where the sun rises from - it will be east. Mark it on the plan and overlay the Bagua grid on it so that the east is aligned with the east, and then define all the other zones.
Unfortunately, everything is simple only at first glance. In fact, you can face a lot of surprises. For example, your apartment may not be in the form of a regular rectangle, but shapes with missing or protruding corners, so you may simply be missing some areas. Or the most important sectors may coincide, for example, with the location of the hallway or toilet. In such situations, Feng Shui apartments can be corrected with the help of special tools and techniques.
So, if any zone in your apartment is simply absent, the missing sector can be restored by hanging a mirror on the wall in this place. Alternatively, you can overlay the Bagua grid on the diagram of the main room only and designate and then activate the zones in it.
If the zone of influence does not correlate well with the functional purpose of the room, this can be corrected by placing talismans, symbols of the elements, lighting, colors, etc. in it corresponding to the sector. For example, if the wealth zone coincided with the bathroom, so that money does not "flow away" from you, always closely monitor the health of the plumbing and close the toilet lid. You can place bamboo rugs, money tree or other indoor plant with round leaves in it. In addition, the bathroom can be hidden behind a large mirror.
Feng Shui apartments - zones activation
By activating a certain area of the apartment, you can influence the corresponding sphere of life. In order for Feng Shui to work in full force, several sectors should be activated at once. This is done by placing certain objects, colors, symbols, etc. in them, which help to strengthen positive energy. All of them are selected individually for each zone.
