How to find direction in your home
Stand in the center of your living space and hold a compass (your phone's compass app works perfectly). The direction the needle points is your reference. To find the "Southeast corner of the home," walk toward the southeast quadrant of the floor plan. Within that corner, place the recommended cure — a small water feature for wealth, rose quartz for love, etc.
What is Tai Sui?
Tai Sui (太歲) is the celestial figure that rules each lunar year and rotates around the compass once per cycle. In 2026, Tai Sui sits in the South. Classical feng shui teaches that disturbing the Tai Sui direction — through renovation, drilling, or even loud activity — can attract misfortune. Quiet respect is the entire rule.
Does feng shui actually work?
Whether you read feng shui as energetic science or as a thousand-year-old design language for living well, its prescriptions are remarkably good interior design: bring water where you want abundance, light where you want focus, soft materials where you want intimacy, and keep clutter away from anywhere you spend serious time. The compass tradition adds the dimension of timing — and that timing rotates every year.
