Promoting career luck

ALL OF US have the ambition to progress in our career and enjoy security in our lives, yet many of us find this hard to achieve, despite our best efforts and hard work.
Either the existing job appears to be stagnating and boring, or the one we desire did not come our way.
Adopting the basic ­guidelines of feng shui and ­applying them to your situation can help boost your ambitions. You may also enjoy an increase in prospects and opportunities for advancement.
The implementation of correct and most effective feng shui career aides is crucial to opening up and activating a person’s career luck.
An individual’s career is ruled by a particular direction based on what is known as a ‘kua number’, which is derived from the person’s birth chart.
In addition to analysing the feng shui charts, a feng shui practitioner can further boost a person’s luck based on the person’s BaZi (the year, month, day and time of the person’s birth).
Enhancing specific directions based on the birth chart analysis is an effective way to ignite good career luck rapidly.
But if you want to implement a few time-tested remedies, the basic school of feng shui has many such ­recommendations.
For example, the north ­sector of your home, office or personal space signifies the ­career corner. By enhancing this sector, it could activate ­career luck.
The focus should be in the north corner of the living room, and not in the bedroom sector. Hence, having a water feature or using a blue decoration in the north sector of the living room would help.
Having the toilet in the north sector of the home can cause stagnation and insecurity in your career. Some people may even suffer a job loss.
You should keep the toilet door closed at all times if you are unable to relocate it. Also, ensure that the toilet seat is always down.
Place a large boulder, which is an Earth element, in the north sector of the toilet to overcome any affliction, and symbolically, suppress any bad luck.
Success comes when you work hard for it. Career and growth also come more easily when ­efforts towards personal development are made.
But by implementing good feng shui practices, the path towards ­success would be more smooth-­sailing.
Here are three feng shui tips that can help ­enhance your ­personal success and ­development are:
The prosperity signature
In feng shui, it is believed that a signature can attract great ­prosperity and success if it starts with a firm upward stroke and ends with another firm upward stroke.
Right buttons for your clothes
Round buttons made of metal or a ­metallic material represent a strong Metal element and are ­an excellent feng shui enhancement for those wearing a black or blue attire for ­important meetings.
Dragon for success and good fortune
The celestial dragon is the ultimate good luck symbol in feng shui. Placing a figurine of dragon in one’s office or living room will usher in good fortune.
It’s not surprising that everyone would like to have prosperity in their career and by tapping into the wisdom of feng shui, one can then enhance one’s career luck and move on to the next level of prosperity.
