Comprehensive Feng Shui Guide for Corporate Finance Office Layout | Ha

I. Orientation: Positioning the Wealth Star, Anchoring Energy
Core Principles:
▸ "Three Essentials for Wealth Positions" (open mingtang, contained energy flow, avoidance of sha qi)
▸ "Wealth Avoids Filthy Gates" (keep away from restrooms, stairwells, and overhead beams)

Optimal Directions:

Innate Wealth Position: Determine based on the company's founding year using "Eight Mansions Feng Shui" (e.g., prioritize northwest (Qian) direction if the legal representative lacks Metal element in their Bazi).
Dynamic Wealth Position: Align with annual "Xuan Kong Fei Xing (Flying Star Feng Shui)"

Taboo Directions:
⚠️ Avoid facing elevator doors (wealth leakage).
⚠️ Avoid glass curtain wall backings (no "mountain support").
⚠️ Avoid noisy street-facing areas (disrupts financial qi).

II. Interior Design: Balancing Five Elements, Form Meets Function
1. Color Energy System
▸ Primary Palette:

Earth nourishes Metal: Beige, light yellow (stability).
Water supports Metal: Navy, emerald green (wealth flow).
⚠️ Taboo: Excessive red (Fire melts Metal), pure black (yin dominance).
2. Material Selection
▸ Flooring: Natural stone (marble/granite symbolize "golden mountain stability").
▸ Walls: Matte metallic trim (guides wealth circulation).
▸ Ceiling: Smooth surfaces, concealed wiring (prevents "wealth pathway blockages").

3. Lighting Strategy
▸ Main light: Round ceiling lamp (symbolizes heaven-earth harmony).
▸ Accent lights: Warm-white spots at 45° toward filing cabinets ("illuminated wealth paths").
▸ Taboo: Direct light on seats (creates "light sha" draining wealth).

III. Layout: Activating Wealth Tools, Order in Movement
1. Key Furniture Placement
▸ Safes:

Place at "Qinglong (Green Dragon) position" (left wall upon entry).
Line with yellow silk + Five Emperor Coins (wealth stabilization).
▸ Desks:
Face "prosperous mountain and prosperous direction" (e.g., north-south alignment with solid wall backing).
Rounded edges, cabinets below shoulder height (prevents "corner sha").
2. Wealth-Boosting Decor
▸ Three-Legged Toad: Coin-in-mouth facing inward (accumulation); outward without coin (expansion).
▸ Water Features: Southeast corner with flowing water (wood-water synergy).
▸ Crystal Clusters: Amethyst in northwest (enhance Metal), citrine in southwest (Earth-Metal cycle).

3. Strategic Greenery
▸ Recommended: Money tree, lucky bamboo, orchids (odd numbers).
▸ Avoid: Thorny plants (cacti), climbing vines (entangled wealth paths).

IV. Taboos: Neutralizing Threats, Protecting Prosperity
Structural Hazards:
Straight corridor alignment (穿堂煞) → Install screens + broad-leaf plants.
Reflective glass glare (光煞) → Use sheer curtains.
Numerology:
Avoid 13m²/18m² room sizes (inauspicious numbers).
Seat counts: 3/6/8 (auspicious "growth" numbers).
Behavioral Guidelines:
Never leave safes unlit at night ("guarded wealth vaults").
Empty trash bins daily (avoid "filth suppressing wealth").
V. Advanced Strategy: Aligning with Cosmic Cycles (2024-2043)
Nine Purple Fire Period:
▸ Incorporate red accents (e.g., vermilion seal boxes).
▸ Create "Wood-Fire Harmony" in southeast (plants + warm lighting).
▸ Integrate AI environmental monitors (modern feng shui tech).

"The finance office is the corporate heart – its energy determines vitality. True wealth flows when celestial timing (epoch cycles), terrestrial alignment (orientation), and human harmony (leadership Bazi) converge."
