What Is Feng Shui
Feng shui comes from ancient China. It uses the flow of qi (energy) in spaces. Where you place furniture, colors, and objects can affect how you feel and perform. It is not magic. It is about creating calm, clear, and inviting spaces. These tips are for fun. Use what feels right. Visit our categories for more zodiac content.

Home Tips for the Snake Year
Declutter
Snake energy likes order. Clear out what you do not need. Open space lets qi move. Start with one room. Do not rush.
Entryway
Keep the front door area clean and bright. A small plant or lamp can help. Shoes and bags should not block the path.
Bedroom
Keep the bed against a solid wall. Avoid mirrors facing the bed. Use calm colors. Reduce screens before sleep.
Kitchen
Keep the stove clean. A full fruit bowl can symbolize abundance. Fix leaks; water issues can drain energy.
Office Tips for 2025
Sit with your back to a wall, not a door. Face the room or a window if you can. Keep your desk tidy. A small plant or lucky object (jade, red item) can add positive energy. Avoid clutter under the desk. For career outlooks by sign, see our career and finance article.
