Just as nature transforms with each season, your home's energy should also shift. Seasonal feng shui aligns your living space with the natural cycle of the Five Elements, bringing balance, health, and prosperity year-round.

🌸 Spring Feng Shui
Spring represents new beginnings and growth. It's the perfect time to refresh your space and plant seeds for the year ahead.
Spring Adjustments:
- Deep clean and declutter—remove winter stagnation
- Add fresh flowers and green plants (especially in the East)
- Open windows daily to let fresh chi circulate
- Use light greens, teals, and floral patterns
- Start new projects and set intentions
- Fix anything broken (repairs are auspicious now)
- Place a living bamboo plant for growth energy
☀️ Summer Feng Shui
Summer is peak yang energy—time for action, visibility, and celebration. Embrace the fire element while preventing burnout.
Summer Adjustments:
- Enhance the South sector with candles or red accents
- Add cooling water elements to balance excess fire
- Use light, breathable fabrics for curtains and bedding
- Create outdoor living spaces for gatherings
- Display achievements and recognition items
- Keep the entryway bright and welcoming
- Add a small fountain to prevent "overheating"
🍂 Fall Feng Shui
Autumn is a time of harvest and letting go. Focus on completion, gratitude, and releasing what no longer serves you.
Fall Adjustments:
- Enhance the West and Northwest with metal objects
- Use warm earth tones: golds, oranges, browns
- Declutter and donate items you no longer need
- Add metallic frames, bowls, or sculptures
- Complete unfinished projects before year's end
- Create a gratitude corner or journal space
- Prepare the bedroom for cozy winter months
❄️ Winter Feng Shui
Winter invites rest, reflection, and restoration. Honor the water element's wisdom of stillness and conservation.
Winter Adjustments:
- Enhance the North sector with water features or blue decor
- Add warm lighting to counterbalance dark days
- Use plush textures: velvet, wool, faux fur
- Create cozy nooks for reading and reflection
- Display water imagery or mirrors (reflective surfaces)
- Slow down and practice meditation or journaling
- Plan and vision for the coming year

🌍 Earth Element Transitions
The Earth element governs the 18 days between each season's end and the next season's start. During these transitions:
- Focus on the center of your home
- Use earthy colors: beige, terracotta, yellow
- Add pottery, ceramics, or stone objects
- Eat grounding foods and rest more
💡 Pro Tip: Seasonal Altar
Create a small seasonal altar that changes throughout the year. In spring, add fresh flowers. In summer, candles. In fall, dried leaves or gourds. In winter, crystals and reflective objects. This keeps your space aligned with nature's cycles.
