Hi. Welcome to feng shui and prosper.com. It's Safrina here
and today I wanna talk about feng shui and business
I have
clients who come to me either they're already in business or they're thinking
about going into business and they're unsure which path they should be taking
now for one thing
not everyone is suited to be self employed
or to have their own business
and how you determine this is by your
Chinese astrological chart which is Bazi in Mandarin
or Paht Chee in Cantonese.
If you don't currently have your own business and you're wanting to go into one and you're not sure if this is the right decision to make
I highly, highly, highly recommend taking a look at your Chinese Astrological chart
Because what you need to look at is the
Direct Wealth or Indirect Wealth stars
... if you have these stars in your chart.
If you have the Direct Wealth star
it tells us that you're more suited to be
a salaried person, to be
employed by a company, to always have
to always have steady income coming in.
But if you have the Indirect Wealth star then it tells us as practitioners
that you are more suited to have your own business
that you have the necessary skills and necessary luck
to success in business
now I always say it to my clients
that the Bazi chart is all about potential energy
doesn't mean that everything is set in stone
So if you're thinking about going into
business but you look at your chart
and you don't have Indirect Wealth luck in there it doesn't mean that you shouldn't go into business
it just means that it's very likely that you're gonna to go into obstacles
than other people
and the success is a further reach for you
It's not impossible. Obviously from a feng shui perspective
you wanna make sure that feng shui wise you are supported to get more success
And let's say you partner up
with someone then hopefully your partner will have what is lacking in your chart
not sure just in terms of Indirect Wealth star
but also in terms of what you're favourable element and all that.
It's a little bit deeper
in terms of decoding your bazi chart
But those are generally where my clients come and say
"Hey Safrina I'm sick and tired of working for someone. I have some business idea
but I'm not sure what to do. Other insights that the Bazi can tell you is
If you wanna go into business, what kind of industry do you want to be in
Or you SHOULD be in if you want to
if you want to go with the flow as opposed to swimming agains the current
You know what I mean? Why would you wanna go
against the current when you don't need to
And so the bazi chart will give very good insight
as to what are the best elements for you
In feng shui we have five elements:
fire, metal, wood, water and earth.
And every chart, there are certain elements that work well for us
and certain elements don't. So let's say if your best element is
fire and you want to have your own business
then fire industries that you can get yourself
involved in are let's say media and entertainment.
Metaphysical businesses...
spiritual businesses... the beauty industry
uhm...
hmm food and beverage - more food, like restaurant business and things like that
That would be fire. If metal is your
strongest element then you can go into mining, go into banking,
jewellery-making businesses let's say.
If water is your best element then you're looking at
travel industry, import and export, sales-related
industries where there's a lot of traveling.
Things like that...
Earth element industries would be
insurance, construction... and then wood elements
industries would be agriculture
teaching and training,
printing and things like that.
Obviously I'm not giving you an exhaustive list here but just to give you an idea that
your best elements would not only
tell us what industries you'll have success in,
you also have more fun in. When I found this concept and
I looked back at my career choices, the ones that I just had so much fun in and so much
ease in were the ones where they were my best element.
So that's another thing
that the bazi can be a really good tool for you to decide
if you're in a career path and fork in the road there
and you're trying to figure out
what you should do, the bazi can give you a lot of clarification
on that. Now,
in terms of feng shui for business,
my corporate and retail clients have been misled
by a lot of feng shui myths out there, diluted feng shui information
that they only have one money corner
That's not true. Because if you feng shui
properly then you can have up to 3 money corners.
Just depending on the layout. If one money corner is a store room, then
there's nothing much you can do
But that definitely gives us a little bit more possibilities in terms of
how to use feng shui to boost it up.
And, once you plot these properly let's say you're in a retail
space then obviously you want the cash register in
the money spot. You want your front door in the money spot,
If you have a water cooler let's say, you'll want that in the money spot IF
that direction can `see' water
which is another thing, you know....
water placement is another topic that I'll cover in a different video.
but that is how..
that is the interaction that would be
what I would recommend before you go into business.
and if you already have a business obviously
then you want to make sure that the feng shui serves and supports that space
But if you have let's say a big business decision
that you can foresee yourself making,
Date selection would be great and based on your Chinese astrological chart
we can pick the best months
and even the best day, for you to sign important
contracts... when you should go all out in your marketing...
when you should lie low and not make any big decisions...
Some people will say, " so aren't you limiting yourself?"
Well, in a sense. Yes.
But why would you be... like I said,
why would you want to go against the current
when you don't need to.
Like, if you can afford planning your business strategies that way
then you're lining yourself up with more
potential for success.
Right? It makes sense.
Anyway, that's pretty much all I wanted to cover in terms of business and feng shui.
And if there's any other topics that
