How Feng Shui House Design Synergises with Chinese Astrology

Sarah Mcallister • Nov 21, 2022

How to create a truly bespoke home or office that feels peaceful and energising.



Feng Shui designed home office

As you can see from the Feng Shui Home Office we designed above, there is no need for Chinese trinkets to have superb feng shui. From the colour of the bespoke handmade silk & linen curtains to the precise angle of the desk, the colour on the walls and the shape of the lamps, all considerations were made with the feng shui and Chinese horoscope of our ethical fund manager client in mind. Much more than is depicted in press articles about decluttering & pot plants, a proper Feng Shui consultation is based on the skilled application of complex ancient wisdom and is more akin to a flow process, not a utilitarian 'product'. My relationship with my clients is very profound, and I create space, both energetically and literally, for their transformation, expansion and best health and happiness. 


The Feng Shui Garden, Grounds or External Space

Most houses have a garden or outside space, and even flats might have small gardens or terraces. Starting from the outside in, I energetically connect with the space so that I can read the chi flow. 


Once I have identified the ‘source of chi’, I set to work creating a strategy to bring the good energy to the door and to deflect any undesirable influences that cause difficulties in life. This might mean trimming back shrubs, putting up fences, planting trees, installing water features… whatever is needed. I have a Done For You team to implement my advice and only work with people who do as I ask, since the entire strategy is holistic. All major points need to be implemented. There are special feng shui techniques for the outside spaces that differ from the methods used for inside. There are even special feng shui calculations for larger spaces like hospitals, malls, government spaces and even entire cities.


Within the garden, I can activate key areas that support a client’s unique Chinese Horoscope energetics, so that what we place outside is just as powerful, if not more so, than what happens inside. This is made possible by measuring out the locations in the garden of the 24 mountains on the Chinese Lopan compass (see above image for how intricate it is!) And activating those directions that are particularly helpful to the occupants, especially the owner or main breadwinner.


Feng Shui Interior Design 

Using feng shui calculations that are only for the interiors of a building, I assess which activities, colours, shapes and 5 elements (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth or Metal) are most appropriate in each room. I look at where people are best sleeping for maximum rest. Or where they need to position the home office or study, or the nursery etc. Many details are included, like precision placement of lighting, and particular types of plants, and internal artwork or aquariums. On larger projects for VIPs I customise the entire space to auspicious dimensions. This is closely linked to the feng shui architectural work I do for a new build project, where I measure out the precise angle of the entire building that literally creates a unique quantum field of exquisitely supportive resonance for the occupants. It can be great fun working with structural engineers and builders to measure out with string the precise line for the foundations. It takes a lot of patience and centredness, but the result is so worthwhile. There are approximately 64 options in terms of direction - it isn’t just N, S, E or W or even the sub cardinals of NE, SE, SW or NW, but much more precise. And one of these 64 directions can even create an energetic connection with your date of birth! Without fail, a building that I have positioned to be on a particular angle, once built and occupied, FEELS AMAZING. These are powerful spaces that are so high vibrational that the effects are undeniable, even to those with no awareness of feng shui. 


Chinese Astrology and Space

Since Feng Shui wisdom is based on profound metaphysics and the powerful wisdom of nature, there is a direct link between the cosmos and the earthly plane. This means that our space is indeed linked to our astrology. Among other factors, the Chinese Horoscope of a client and their partner or children also informs my recommendations around room usage and colours. I prioritise the colours required by the feng shui, but if I can also find colours that support the client’s astrology then that is an added bonus. 


Dowsing for Geopathic Stress (Earth Sickness)

All my feng shui career, I have dowsed for the presence of negative geopathic stress lines in a property and made recommendations for how to avoid the lines or heal them, or even to have clients buy technology to very effectively counter the troublesome effects. 


Wellness in the Built environment

For over two decades I have advocated for the core principles of wellness architecture. From non-toxic materials, to air and water quality, sleep technology, EMF neutralisation and the power of biophillic design, no stone is left unturned with my high end interior design and architecture service. 


Applying all the above aspects (and more!) is how I create unique homes and business premises that have lasting positive impact in your life.
