This first question is in terms of best colours for business card.
" Hello there, I was planning to make cards for my home based retail business and it's
oriented to sell items such as incense, burners, sage, kabbalah bracelets and other items related
to spiritual practices like meditation and yoga.
If I wanted to apply feng shui guidelines to make my business cards, what could be the
best colours for them?
I'd appreciate your help"
So my advice on business cards, it's gonna be transferrable in terms of choosing colours
for your website and any marketing collateral, anything that represents you, your company,
your products and your services...
You definitely want to make sure that it's in the right colour selection.
So the answer to choosing what's the best element for you, and this obviously is easier
if you don't have any business partners, but the best colours are determined by the day
and the month that you were born.
Depending on the day and what season that you are born in, it determines what is the
best element for you and we all know in feng shui there's five elements: there's water,
fire, earth, metal and wood.
So based on your day and month of birth, if let's say fire is your best element, then
your most favourable colours would be reds, yellows, oranges and if you're looking at
purple, you're looking at the redder purple like magenta and things like that.
If green is your best element, obviously green... sorry, if wood is your best element then obviously
we're looking at green as your best colour.
If earth is your best element then that would be browns, beige and so along those lines...
Metal?
Metal-element colours would be white, grey, silver, copper, gold or anything like that.
And water.
Water-element colours would be black, blue and if you're looking at purple, you'd be
looking at the bluish-purple tones
So the simple answer really is to look at your Four Pillars of Destiny, or in Chinese
we call bazi or in Cantonese it's called paht chee.
So there really no easy way to do this cos' I've been told by my clients that they have
gone online, they googled to take...
there's some kind of a software that tells them based on their birth chart what's their
best colours.
But based on one instance I know for sure that that tool actually was waaay off.
And it didn't help in my client's business at all.
It was the last, it actually was the last colour that she should be choosing for her
business logo.
It unfortunately didn't end up too well for her.
So there are a lot of tools out there but you really want to be careful because a lot
of them could do you more harm than good.
The best bet really is to go to a feng shui consultant that is also properly trained to
do the Four Pillars of Destiny or the Chinese astrological chart and have them help you
figure out what is your best element.
Especially when it comes to business, you don't want to take anything to chance.
So like I said, this same colour element you can apply not just to your business card but
to your website and to anything else, any pamphlets or CDs or whatever that presents
you and what you do.
So all the best.
Definitely look up a good feng shui consultant, have them do your chart and take
it
from there.
