Harmonising Energies: Navigating the Year of the Dragon through Feng Shui's Five Elements
Feb 11, 2024 | CMC Invest
Rooted in Chinese philosophy, Feng Shui emphasises the importance of balance and harmony between the five elemental forces — Earth, Fire, Wood, Metal, and Water. These elements, with their unique characteristics and interactions, play a pivotal role in shaping the energies of a space and influencing the course of events.
In the tapestry of Feng Shui, each year carries a distinctive energy signature, influenced by the Chinese zodiac animal ruling that particular cycle. The Dragon, with its majestic and powerful presence, signifies a year of transformation, dynamism, and opportunity. Understanding the interplay between the elemental forces and the Year of the Dragon is paramount for those seeking to align their environments with cosmic energies.
Once balance is cultivated, it is believed one can then ride the dragon's currents towards prosperity, growth, and fulfilment in the year ahead.
Below is an overview of the year with regard to specific economies and industries; always remember that an individual’s personal destiny takes precedence over these external/yearly influences.
