Why do some homes feel lucky? Is it the lucky number 9? Is it the red door? Could it be a water fountain on the front lawn? Or is it that gentle winding path leading to the front door.

What’s the first thing you notice when you enter a home – is it “Ooooh what a feeling” that something-something that just feels right or does it feel like the energy is flat, empty or eh?

I am describing my favorite tip: create fabulous firsts: the experience you have approaching your home, as you enter through the front door… what is that feeling?

Let’s break some of these things down:

“I need a red door to be lucky” – it depends!  Is the color of your house enhanced with a red door? A red door on a yellow looks like scrambled eggs with ketchup to me, wouldn’t be my first choice. We can also look at the classical feng shui principles; A red door is the fire element: if your front door faces South, the direction of the fire element: you are enhancing that area. If your front door faces Southwest the direction earth element, a red fire door will nourish the Southwest because fire nourishes earth in the productive 5 element cycle. 
Give your front door the love it deserves. Make that first experience through your front door fabulous.

That gentle winding or meandering path leading to the front door. Ahh feels lovely to slow down, enjoy the journey, calming your energy, opening your awareness to enjoy the surroundings as you make your way to meet your host feel fabulous coming home.

Moving water is a metaphor for money. A strategically placed water fountain bringing the water towards the house is the principle for welcoming money into the home.

And speaking of water — while a fountain at your entrance is a beautiful symbol of welcoming money in, the most important water in your home is the kind you don’t see: the pipes, the drains, the everyday flow that keeps your home healthy & flowing effortlessly.

Giving love to your bathrooms, sinks, toilets, pipes are a key to luck for money: leaky pipes are a clue money is leaking out of your pockets’, clogged pipes are a clue money blocked from coming into your pockets: ponder what actions you have contributed to stimulating these alerts! Repair what needs repairing and take proactive steps in your actions to remedy your money situation.

I want a house with the number 9! Yes 9 is a fabulous number: passionate, vibrant, fun, transformational, spotlighting recognition & reputation. 9 is especially powerful since we moved into a new 20 year “9 fire period” in 2024. It may not be practical to only buy a house with the number 9 or multiples of 9, what you can do is to be creative with using the number 9 – plant 9 shrubs, 9 planters with red plants or 9 lights along the path, you get the picture.

Have you noticed the common denominator in all these ideas about what feels like a lucky home? You! Your relationship with your home, from the everyday experience you have coming home, entering through the front door, sitting in your favorite chair, waking up in the morning & so on & so on.

Remember that common denominator in all of the scenarios— you? That’s exactly why feng shui isn’t one-size-fits-all. A red door might be perfect for one home and completely off for another. Nine planters might be powerful for one person and meaningless for the next. Googling will give you general information, but feng shui at its best is a conversation between principles, the space, and the specific “YOU” living in it. The details matter tremendously — and getting them right is what turns a house into a home that truly feels like YOURS and truly feels LUCKY.
