BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Feng Shui Timing your house move with Feng Shui

The topic of negative energy occurring after a major house move was started in the Wicca forum, so I thought I'd open the discussion here where it can be discussed in more detail:



I've made a number of moves at the "wrong" time, and have had to cope with rebalancing the energy that is disrupted. I'm about to make another wrong move at the end of the year, which can't be helped - but luckily it's only a short distance.

Calculating the effects takes into account your own Nine Ki energy (from your year of birth), the direction of the move, the year of the move, and the month in which you move.

Has anyone done any moving calculations? Did it help you?

Oh Elle, Your getting way over my head here. The only thing I know about feng shui is not to clutter up the corners and let the energies flow as best you can.

There is also much more involved. A controling sibling still living in the house we left who doesn't want it sold has a lot to do with it too, although she swears she wants to sell.... However, those are her issues and at this point, I'd like to keep myself clear and clean from them. Its a little hard, but I'm trying. On the wicca board you mentioned about writing down my moods and connecting them with the elements/energies I'm not too sure I know how to do that or really understand. I'm just a baby at this stuff. Can you go into further detail or point me in a direction where I'll learn?

I did purchase 2 plants both of which died. I've never been real good with plants to begin with either under water or over water or too much sun not enough sun... doesn't matter how many times I read the directions... I just don't have a green thumb!
Could it be the elements surrounding me?

Thanks for all your help

Okay, let's start with the energies associated with Feng Shui and work from there.

Each elemental energy is associated with a positive and negative emotion.

Sometimes we want to draw more on some emotions than others, so we can rebalance ourselves to obtain more of the energy that promotes the emotion we need.

If we are out of balance, the negative emotions of the energy there is too much of comes into play. We can rebalance by taking some of this energy away.

The five elements used in Feng Shui are:

Water : positive emotion is ambition, negative emotion is fear

Tree/wood : positive = enthusiasm; negative = anger

Soil/earth : positive = sympathy; negative = jealousy

Metal : positive = optimism; negative = depression

Fire : positive = joy; negative = hysteria


But I also find it works well if you relate these emotions to what the element means personally to you: eg, fire might mean passion or fury rather than joy or hysteria.

So by relating your moods to the elements, I suggest going through the list and seeing if you see a lot of instances of fear, anger, jealousy, depression, or hysteria. If you do, you can try to rebalance that element that is in excess and see if it has any effect.

Well, most of those energies seem to be coming into play right now. Although soil/earth not so much but the rest are there in both the positive and negative. Depends on the day and what sets it off.

For the most part, I am reacting. Reacting to the controlling games my sister is playing, the abandonment I feel from her and the universe, the fact that things have gone wrong since the move.

The fear and depression are very big factors and from that comes the anger.

So I guess the trick would be to learn how to stop re-acting and how to start acting I think.

Now... taking the table you've provided above... If I bring some metal pieces into my home I should become optimistic, If I find I'm getting depressed, I should remove them... is that basically what you're saying?

Thank you for your efforts and help here!
Much appreciated!

Yes, you're right. You need to choose to respond differently. "You" are all you control. So the first step to changing something that is going wrong for you is to change the way you respond to it. Easier said than done, I know. But you can start by taking a step back, and asking yourself how you would respond if you could choose a positive action that is the best action for you.



In a way. Bringing elements into your home and changing the balance of the energies or vibrations they create simply offers you extra energy of a certain form.

If you're not open to receiving that energy, then you won't be able to use it. That's why I suggested that you relate it back to your personal beliefs rather than trying to follow "rules" of one or other system. If deep down you think it's hokey, then you can inadvertently close yourself to the energies you're trying to use.

On the other side of the coin, if you get into a cycle of negative feelings, you can again inadvertently open yourself up to taking in too much of the energies you're trying to avoid - you're expecting "bad" things to happen, and you're attracting that possibility to you.
