Feng shui · North sector

Feng shui for career.

You already flinch, just slightly, when someone reaches your desk chair before you have heard them coming. The career sector covers your relationship with work, professional reputation, and direction in life. The most consequential moves are about your physical workspace, whether at home or at an office.

Three moves you can make tonight. Free.

None of these need a compass, a Kua number, new furniture, or money. Pick one. Do it before bed.

  1. Move the desk so you are not back-to-door.

    Same command-position rule as the bed. Sitting with your back to the door drains low-grade attention all day. If you cannot move the desk, hang a mirror so the door is in your peripheral view.

  2. Clear what is above the desk.

    A heavy beam, a shelf with sharp edges, a swing-arm lamp that hangs in the way. Anything overhead that the eye registers as a threat keeps you in low-grade alertness all day.

  3. Find the north sector of your home or office.

    Stand in the centre with a compass; walk north. Keep that area uncluttered. Add a small water feature or a black object (the career element). A simple bowl of water on the desk counts.
