Feng Shui Guide: What to Avoid in the Year of the Snake 2025

While we often focus on what to add to our spaces for positive energy, understanding what to avoid is equally important in Feng Shui practice. Today, let's explore two significant energies to be mindful of in 2025: the Grand Duke (Tai Su) and the Three Killings.

The Grand Duke in 2025: Southeast Sector

In 2025, the Grand Duke takes residence in the Southeast sector, which interestingly coincides with our abundance and Victory Star. Think of the Grand Duke as a peaceful neighbor who values tranquility and respect. Here's how to work harmoniously with this energy:

Key Guidelines for the Southeast:

1. Avoid facing the Southeast directly this year
2. Refrain from major renovations in this sector
3. Skip hanging new artwork or drilling holes
4. Maintain a peaceful atmosphere (minimize loud noises)

How to Honor the Grand Duke:

The Grand Duke appreciates being acknowledged and respected. Consider these enhancements:

• Add a gentle water feature
• Place snake or dragon symbols as respectful offerings
• Maintain a clean, peaceful environment
• Speak respectfully when entering the space

The Three Killings: East Sector Focus

The Three Killings (Sanxia) energy resides in the East sector for 2025. This area corresponds to family and community in Feng Shui. While it sounds intimidating, understanding how to work with this energy is straightforward.

What to Avoid in the East:

• Cluttered spaces
• Sharp or pointy objects
• Bulky furniture against walls
• Items carrying negative energy or memories

Creating Harmony:

• Ensure furniture has space to "breathe" (about one inch from walls)
• Maintain good energy flow
• Keep the space organized and clear
• Remove items that don't serve positive purposes

Action Plan for 2025

To make the most of these energies:

1. Create a peaceful abundance corner in the Southeast
2. Use gentle water features thoughtfully
3. Keep both East and Southeast sectors calm and organized
4. Avoid renovations in these areas if possible
5. Maintain good energy flow throughout these spaces

Remember, these traditional Feng Shui concepts aren't meant to instill fear but rather to help us work more intentionally with our spaces. Think of them as opportunities to create more harmony in your home while respecting ancient wisdom that has been passed down for thousands of years.

By following these guidelines and maintaining awareness of these energies, you can create a more balanced and harmonious living space in 2025, the Year of the Snake.

Abundant blessings,
