Below are some easy to follow Feng Shui tips to assist you in creating the right atmosphere and environment in your office Feng Shui and arranging furniture etc. in such a way to attract career luck and prosperity to your life. These Feng Shui tips will enhance your creativity and strengthen the positive flow of energy in your workplace.
1. Removing clutter - Clutter stimulates negative energy. Try keeping your work space clutter free and clear to allow the positive energy to flow. Remove unwanted and unnecessary things from your desk and keep to the basics. Physical clutter can negatively influence your emotions and by clearing it away you will regain strength, feel optimistic and energized once again.
2. The shape of your desk - Productivity can be greatly influenced by the shape of your desk. Energy flows easily over rounded curves instead the hard corners of a more traditional desk. It is believed that a kidney shaped desk gives you the feeling of inner peace and will enhance your creative mind.
3. Feng Shui the position of your desk in your office - Your desk should be in the commanding position meaning it should be placed diagonally to the door, and never with your back to it. This offers your control of your space. Do not sit too near to the door as it put you in a vulnerable position Feng Shui wise. Preferably place your desk in the North corner – which is the career luck sector based on Feng Shui Bagua formula. If possible, have your desk or office in the far corner diagonal to the entrance of the whole office for better feng shui.
4. Direction of your office work desk - You should be sitting facing one of your personal auspicious directions based on Feng Shui Kua formula. Ideally face your Sheng Chi (prosperity) or Fu Wei (growth) direction. Make sure you do not face the Grand Duke Jupiter’s and the Three Killings direction for they bring problems to you in your work place. If you do, remedy it with Pi Yao or Feng Shui Three Divine Guardians. Position your work desk so you are not directly facing anyone else to avoid being in a confrontational setting and creating tension between you and your colleague. Do not sit facing the toilet or staircase, or underneath an exposed beam.
Also try to avoid sitting facing a wall. If your desk at work is facing a wall, you will find that possibilities and promotions may never reach you. If it not possible to change the position of your desk, you can instead place a painting of scenery in front of you, representing open space for opportunities. You can also place a phoenix figurine in front of your desk, which will serve to disperse the bad effects of the wall and form a better feel of Feng Shui.
Have a solid wall behind you for good support. With a door or window behind you, you are vulnerable to many problems. If this cannot be prevented, cover the window will curtains, and place icons of business luck such as a tortoise, a dragon tortoise or a painting of mountain (but never one with water present) behind you.
5. When you sit down at work, check to make sure that there are no sharp or pointed edges (e.g. from table) facing directly towards you. These are representation of “poison arrows” which carry and emit dangerous Shar Chi, also known as “killing breath”. This harmful force can cause decline in career status, disease and many other misfortunes. If this cannot be avoided, use a Clear Quartz Crystal Ball, Brass Coin Sword or Fu Dogs for Protection to disperse the negative energy.
6. Where you work or reside, there are always those who will attempt you harm you and compete with you; these attacks often come from someone behind where you sit. Due to this, you should always ensure that you are augmented appropriately in your seated position. Place a figurine of the Feng Shui Rooster one your workdesk to counter office politicking and backstabbing.
7. Plants represent growing wealth. It is life-giving and produces oxygen. Place a smooth-leaved plant in the corner of your office to help the flow of energy in an otherwise empty space. Green is believed to aid creativity. Place a small pot of plant in the Southeast sector in the office or the corner of your table to enhance your chances of personal growth and to attract good income luck.
8. While a proud Rooster with a pointed beak is a very good symbol of defense against office drama and backstabbing, you can also use the Cicada to help protect you from any undermining colleagues and conspiring competitors.
9. Natural light is always the best so move your desk closer to the window, but still facing the door. Too much bright light can cause irritability and exhaustion and put you in a very bad mood. Avoid fluorescent light and rather opt for warm natural light without a glare.
10. Feng Shui products for office - Whether you work from home or office, you can manipulate your space to have the best possible effect on your income. According to Feng Shui Bagua formula, the area related to wealth is situated to the South East. Therefore this area should be decorated with Feng Shui wealth symbols such as a wealth ship or a wealth pot. The career sector is North so placing appropriate images and decorative items in this corner is essential in any office space to enhance your career luck. (See Feng Shui products for career and Feng Shui enhancers for office).
11. Feng Shui Color in your office - Color can greatly enhance energy flow in your office. Because every color has a different property, choose what will work best for you. More on Feng Shui color.
12. Feng Shui Bagua - When you place the bagua grid pattern over the floor plan of your office, you will see the different aspirations that are governed by the eight bagua sectors which you can then make arrangement or decorate with Feng Shui products to enhance the positive energy in those areas. For career luck, the sector to emphasize on is the North.

A wealth ship filled with treasure sailing inward
Hang an image of water in the North sector
Golden Arowana on your workdesk
Feng Shui Abacus
Dragon grasping pearl of success
