The 2019 feng shui cures are applied on February 4th. Why? Because feng shui cures are usually applied on the Solar New Year (February 4th, 2019), not the Lunar New Year (February 5, 2019). Of course, you can also apply them at any time in 2019! The principle of “better late than never” sure applies when it comes to creating good feng shui in your space. Start with a clean and orderly home first; do not apply the yearly feng shui cures –- in fact, do not apply any feng shui cures -– if your house has chaotic energy created by clutter and lack of order/cleanliness.
If you plan to reuse last year’s feng shui cures, be sure to cleanse them thoroughly. However, the best way to go is to purchase new feng shui cures to use as your annual 2019 feng shui cures. You can do that in any Chinatown, as well as many online stores (we certainly recommend our online feng shui store powered by amazon.com). Instead of dividing the info by good and bad 2019 feng shui areas, I will guide you step by step through all bagua areas to give you a good idea as to what is happening there in 2019. Let’s start in the East feng shui bagua area and move clockwise from there.
East Area in
In 2019, this bagua area is hosting the auspicious feng shui star called the White Star #6. This specific star, or feng shui energy, is of the Metal element and its energy is connected to career success.
The feng shui element of the East bagua area is Wood, and the element of the visiting star is Metal, so there is a bit of a clash of elements here. Making the visiting star strong, meaning strengthening its Metal element means weakening the native Wood feng shui element of this bagua area. This scenario often happens with the annual feng shui updates, when you have to focus on subtle feng shui adjustments in order to keep both the visiting star energy, as well as the native energy of this bagua area healthy and balanced. So, what exactly can you do?

Central Palace: Eight White Star (Highly Auspicious)
Eight White is the most prosperous star in charge of luck and fortune. In 2019, Eight White will fly to the Central Palace, which is generally located at the TV bench in living room. Arrange the center of your home properly, you will get rich and develop your career significantly in the year; otherwise, you may suffer from poor health and unexpected financial losses.

In the year 2019, do not place sundry at the Central Palace, so as to avoid blocking the good luck brought by the Star in charge of Fortune. Also, do not place decorations related to water here, such as a fish tank, so as to prevent your fortune from changing into water.
Eight White belongs to earth in five elements, to further improve the effect of Eight White, you should choose red and yellow, which belong to fire and earth in five elements, to decorate the Central Palace of your home or office for better luck in making money. Besides, earth can generate metal, so the items belonging to metal at this direction can improve your luck for wealth and bring you plentiful incomes. If your front door, bedroom or office is at southeast, you may place a red or purple blanket at the entrance to strengthen its force.
Southeast: Seven Red Star (Mixed)
Seven Red , also known as Pojun Star, will fly to southeast in 2019. The star belongs to metal and is changeable in Eight Luck, sometimes inauspicious and sometimes auspicious, thus should generate rather than control. Seven Red is also a star of declined luck and symbolizes loss, dispute, booze and women, and affair. Since wood and metal are in inter-restriction during this year, Seven Red will lead to financial losses or disaster caused by wealth. The improper Feng Shui layout at this direction will bring declined luck, career obstacles, false charge of villains, or unfavorable love affair. If the door, window, seat or bed is at the southeast of your house, you may get troubles, such as investment failure, financial lost because of illness or unexpected disasters, or females in family may have a love affair.
How to activate the star?
If your front door, bedroom or kitchen is at the due east, you’d better place a black or blue carpet at the entrance as a cure. Pay attention to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems if you sleep at the direction for a long time. Besides, the metal things should not be place at this position of the house.
the Yin-Earth Boar Year
According to the Chinese lunisolar calendar, 2019 started on February 5th and will end on January 24th. In terms of energy, it’s classified as a Yin and Earth year, and due to its association with the corresponding Chinese Zodiac sign, also as a “Yin Earth Pig year”.
Having Yin-Earth qualities, this year will be slower than the previous one, which had a more Yang and fiery influence. The Earth nature is related to the center, nurturing and grounding. The Yin nature means it is time to calm down and look within.
2019 is also associated with I Ching 5th hexagram xū, which literally means “attending”, and the bagua 8th trigram gèn, which is usually translated using the word “mountain”. By their very nature, this denotes a slow (although stable) growth, patience, calm, nurture and waiting.
