Learn about Chinese good luck charms used in Feng Shui that you can wear, carry, or include in your home decor to invite good luck, prosperity, and positive energy. Oranges are often used for space clearing in feng shui to replace negative or stagnant energy with positivity, joy, and vitality. You can keep a bowl of fresh oranges on the counter to keep this positive energy flowing in your home. The color will help to uplift the space, and so will the scent that’s released whenever someone in your household peels and eats one. Oranges are shaped like coins, and have the radiant color of gold. This also makes for the auspicious symbology. Until a few decades ago, it was a sign of abundance and wealth to have fresh fruit. Having a bowl of fresh oranges invites in this positive energy. You can also wear or have ornaments with orange images to bring in the same good luck into your home. Red is one of the most yang colors, symbolizing life energy. It’s also the most auspicious color in feng shui, and is associated with protection as well as the fire element. Red can invoke inspiration and passion, and is an especially lucky color. It’s auspicious to have imagery of all twelve animals together. You can find charms and decorations that include all twelve animals. All twelve animals together represents harmony and balance among the different animals’ personalities and the different people living in the home. Another way to bring good luck is to find out which animal is connected to the current year. You can then carry a realistic three-dimensional symbol of that animal with you or locate one in your home for the year. For example, 2021 is the year of the Ox, and the Ox’s best friend is the Rat. This means that carrying a three-dimensional representation of a rat with you in 2021 can bring good luck.
