Valentine's Day Feng Shui

Posted Feb 2nd 2012 at 3:00AM by Stephanie Dempsey, Tarot.com

With the approach of Valentine's Day, you'll want to make a few romantic adjustments to your home. Although some of these tips could require major lifestyle adjustments, you'll be surprised at how effective they are. And once your sex life starts gathering steam, these changes will seem very small indeed. Enjoy!

Ignite your hot spot
The far right corner of your home is the relationship gua. Therefore, you want to make this area as romantic as possible. A comfortable love seat, a picture of lovers in a passionate embrace or a fragrant bouquet of flowers would all activate this spot. Move decidedly unromantic objects like the garbage can, litter box or desk to a more utilitarian part of your home, like the helpful people gua (the near right corner).

Double up
Photos and pictures of lone people will reinforce your image as a singleton. Replace these images with loving couples and happy group photos. Angle chairs toward each other so they won't seem so isolated, and place candlesticks side by side instead of spacing them far apart on a mantle or dining table.

Make room for love
One of the fastest ways to drive love from your door is to jam one side of your bed against a wall. If you're going to attract a lover, you need to clear a path for them. Placing matching night tables on either side of the bed creates a virtual love magnet.

Clear out your closet
Having your closet jam-packed with your own clothes is a sign that you're not ready to share your life with someone else. Put off-season items into storage, donate clothes that don't fit to charity and rid your wardrobe of things you don't love. Both your closet and bureau should be one-third empty if you're serious about finding love.

Stock the medicine cabinet
Having a spare toothbrush, razor and deodorant for an overnight visitor will expand your romantic prospects exponentially. Be mindful of your prospective lover's needs. An extra robe and a set of clean towels may come in handy sooner than you think. When it comes to feng shui, being prepared is half the battle.

Put away childish things
Your bedroom should put you in touch with your physical desires. Therefore, you'll want to rid this space of childhood toys and family pictures. You may not realize it, but a battered teddy bear or photo of your grandmother can hinder your sex drive. Even pictures of your kids can find better homes than your boudoir. When it comes to decorating your bedroom, think sophisticated sensuality, not soft sentimentality.

Get separate beds for Fido and Fluffy
If your love life is going to thrive, you need to set aside a space that is exclusive to you and your lover. Pets that sleep on your bed can really hinder your romantic life. Invest in separate beds for your animals so that you and your lover can express your love with abandon. In the event you are single, consider the message you are sending would-be partners by giving your pets such a prime spot.

Get rid of stagnant energy
Your bedroom is a metaphor for your love life. Therefore, you need to keep it clear of excess baggage. Don't use the space under your bed as a storage area. Above all, relocate any old legal documents, bank statements and paperwork to another room. Your bedroom needs to have fresh, vibrant energy to sustain a healthy love life.

Balance yin and yang
No matter if you're a man or woman, gay or straight, your bedroom should be a blend of masculine and feminine energies. Balance soft colors with furniture that has strong, straight lines. A plush carpet thrown over a hardwood floor can also provide an interesting contrast. Try striped bed linens in a boudoir that seems overly feminine, or integrate curved lines in a room that seems too macho. By having a mix of yin and yang energy, you'll make symbolic space for another person in your life.

Make your bed the sole source of entertainment
Phones, computers and televisions have no place in the bedroom. Move these distractions to another room so that you and your lover can focus on each other.
