Some people believe in luck, some people believe in fate, and some people believe in the ancient art and science developed thousands of years ago in China. Also known as Feng Shui, the practice of balancing the energies of any given space to assure the health and good fortune for people inhabiting it.
Feng Shui means “wind and water”. And in the Chinese culture, wind and water are associated with good health. With such, the term “good Feng Shui” would mean good fortune and “bad Feng Shui” usually means misfortune. And the simplest and most basic of all Feng Shui consultation starts with the study of Chinese astrology.
