I don’t know where you live, but in Texas, I often feel like I live on the surface of the sun! But, this makes sense to me since, in Feng Shui, the summer season is associated with the fire element which is a strong and robust yang energy. This energy brings out our passionate and driven side, inspiring us to be confident and outgoing. It’s the time we want to be busy and make sure we get noticed.

However, if we are experiencing too much of this fire energy, it can make us feel aggressive and irritable. So, it’s important that we maintain a balance.

Summertime is connected to our energy that focuses on how others perceive us, or our “fame and reputation”. This means it’s a time when we are more aware of the recognition and respect that we want to gain from those around us. The part of our home that is in conjunction with the fame and reputation sector of Feng Shui is the back and middle area of our home (in relation to the entrance).

Here are a few tips to balance this area and bring harmony to your energy.

▪ Place red or warm decorative colors in this section, candles in
this area will bring warmth and “fire” to the area.
▪ Make sure everything is de-cluttered and organized so energy can move freely.
▪ Add plants for financial abundance.
▪ Place your awards or trophies on display.
▪ Add red garnet crystals to bring creativity to your space.
▪ Hang a photo of a famous person you admire.
▪ Bring in the water element by adding a fountain or a painting or photo of water, be it the ocean, a lake, a boat, or a waterfall.
