Period 9 Layout Considerations
Since we’ve entered “Fire Period,” your home layout may benefit from these adjustments:
Embrace Fire Energy 🔥
Your home’s south (Li palace) becomes more significant.
Consider keeping the south area open, bright, and clean. Red accents or good lighting can support the energy of this direction.
Balance Earth Elements ⛰️
Heavy earth items from Period 8 (large stones, yellow crystals) may feel less supportive now. Consider whether they still serve your space well.
Feng Shui Practice
- Check what room is in your home’s south
- Ensure south is open and well-lit
- Review large earth items and their placement
- Consider adding warm colors or lighting in the south
