According to Feng Shui, the year of the Snake 2025 is about shedding layers, which will make room for the Horse to emerge with fire next year. This can be translated both in terms of any behavioural patterns we want to change, and getting rid of things that no longer fit us or that carries an energy we don’t want.

Where and how we live, reflects who we are and what we value. You can make this work for you, by consciously go through all your items in your home, including your wardrobe, and discard (sell, give away, reuse or throw away) those that no longer fit you or no longer are aligned with what you’d like to achieve. You do this, simply by asking what an item means to you:

Do you value it because it was expensive?

Does it hold sentimental value?

Is it something you actively are using?

Does it align with your own values, such as what it’s made of and what you believe in?

While Feng Shui is its own science, you don’t need to worship anything, but rather see it as a tool to improve your home and improve your sense of wellbeing. If you’re Christian like me, you can for example use these principles if you feel that it makes you into a more loving person and better at being of service, while not hoarding. And this enables you to make room for more, or other, things.
