Well, what can I say… what a year 2020 has been for the planet! So many people, businesses, and families have really struggled in one way or another as a direct result of Covid-19; let us pray that 2021 is a much healthier year in every way for everyone.
My last four-months articles have been all about dowsing, so I thought it was time to concentrate on the feng shui for the year ahead so you can plan what remedies and activations you would like to use, ready for the energy changes. The 4th of February will soon be here and this is a very important date in the feng shui world, as this is when the feng shui energies change, the old energies of 2020 leave (I say good riddance!), and the new energies for 2021 arrive. If you have had a bad previous year, this is the time to wipe the slate clean and start again with a blank page, and let’s hope the energies will be kinder to us all in 2021.
Placing feng shui remedies and activations in the correct sectors of your home or business can help reduce the negative impact and activate the positive energies for the year ahead. The energies are always more powerful as they enter the year and leave, so the sooner you put your remedies in place the better. This year I will personally ensure all my activations and remedies are in place in January. There are two important feng shui dates to be aware of; the date you should have your remedies and activations in place by (Feng Shui New Year) and the other date is Chinese New Year. In 2018 the dates were very close together, the Feng Shui New Year was the 4th February and the Chinese New Year was on the 5th February, In 2021 the dates are 8 days apart…
Feng Shui New Year – Thursday 4th of February, 2021
Chinese New Year – Year of the Metal Rat – Friday 12th of February, 2021
All cures and activations should be in place by the 4th of February but if you miss this date please go ahead and place the remedies and activations as soon as you can. It’s always the same date every year that the feng shui remedies and activations have to be in place regardless of when the Chinese New Year celebrations happen.
Year of the Metal Ox Remedies and Activations to Overlay onto Your Floor Plan:
Choose just one option for each sector from the chart below. When placing the remedies and activations please ensure you place them with the intention of remedying the yearly affliction or activating the positive energy. There are three main areas to focus on in your home, they are your bedroom, front door, and office if you work from home.

How to Find Out Where Each Sector Falls in Your Home:
Using the floor plan of your home or business, measure the width and length of your property & divide your floor plan into 9 equal squares. Place the above Lo Shu Square over your floor plan (see example below). If your entrance door faces east you should mark the square your door falls into as the East sector and then mark all the other sectors accordingly. Use a compass to determine the direction of your front door, you can do this by standing at the threshold of your entrance door (looking out) and take the compass reading e.g. 78˚ east.
Things to Be Aware of in 2021:
No renovations, digging, noise or candles in the north and southeast sectors as these are the sectors with afflictions.
3 KILLINGS (45° – 135°) — do not sit with your back to the ‘3 Killings’. If you do, it may cause people to snipe about you behind your back or stab you in the back. You can place a laughing buddha to face towards the south to protect you from the 3 Killings. No digging or renovations in this sector.
GRAND DUKE (22.5° – 37.5°) — the ‘Grand Duke’ can bring support and help if you sit with him at your back. Be sure not to sit facing him or you will face the wrath of people in a position over you. It’s also essential that you don’t dig or do renovations in this sector.
Planning Major Renovations:
Are you planning to do major renovations to your home in 2021? Don’t panic, there is a way to do this so you won’t aggravate the energies too much. The best way to go about this is to begin your renovations in an auspicious sector and then end in an auspicious sector; this will help you to reduce aggravating the energies in the sectors with the major afflictions (north and southeast sectors).
You may feel unsettled after reading about the new energies in your home, but please don’t be, remember that everyone has their turn of good luck and not so good luck. Always be aware that feng shui (earth luck) is only 33.3% of your luck. Most feng shui afflictions can be remedied, giving you control of two-thirds of your luck which is wonderful; your human luck (your decisions – 33.3%) and your earth luck (feng shui – 33.3%). The final 33.3% is your Heavenly Luck (you are born into this luck and we cannot control this, e.g. your astrological chart).
Next month’s article will be about the Chinese New Year traditions and the most auspicious color handbag, purse, and wallet to use. I will also let you know the best colors to wear for growth in 2021.
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas!
