Happy Feng Shui New Year ! The 4th of February 2025 – the official start of the Feng Shui New Year.  Think of it as the energetic equivalent of New Year’s Day, but with a twist of ancient wisdom, helping you align your home and life for prosperity, peace, and progress.

Why February 4th?  This date aligns with the Chinese solar New Year ‘Li Chun’ which marks the official start of spring in the traditional Chinese calendar. Think of this new years date flowing with the natural cycle of nature coming back to life after winter, symbolising the beginning of new energy and growth.

Just like we set our intentions and make resolutions for the regular New Year, the Feng Shui New Year gives us the chance to refresh our living spaces.  So, how do we harness the beautiful energy of the upcoming Feng Shui year? See my quick guide below on how to get started, along with some tips to keep your home (and your life) beautifully energised throughout 2025.

1) Reflect and be grateful for the past year

The start of a new year is always a great time to pause, reflect and be grateful for the things that happened over the past year. For some 2024 may not have turned out as expected but there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for. Focus on the good!

2) What can you leave behind in 2024?

The new year is a powerful time for letting go of what no longer serves you and making space for fresh opportunities, new people and positive energy. It maybe that there are people you need to leave behind as they are no longer supporting your journey of growth or there could be situations holding you back. Take a moment to and think about how certain people and situations made you feel in 2024, Even old clothes! How do they make you feel and if they don’t make you feel great just get rid of them !  You want to create space for all the wonderful things coming your way.

3. Clear the Clutter!

As I know from personal experience the kitchen is where all the clutter seems to end up.  Bags, shoes, half-empty mugs of tea... It’s the clutter vortex of your house. But you need to know that the kitchen is also linked to your wealth and prosperity in Feng Shui, so if you want 2025 to bring more abundance, it’s time to give that space a proper declutter. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the idea, start small—tackle a drawer or a cupboard first. Baby steps, lead to big steps!

4). Freshen Up Your Front Door

In Feng Shui, the front door is where the energy enters your home—kind of like the gateway to the universe's offerings. If your front door is looking a bit tired or cluttered, it's time for a little TLC. Freshen it up with a coat of paint or a welcoming mat. These easy steps will invite all sorts of wonderful things into your life!

5)  Light Up Your Life (Literally)

Natural light is one of the most powerful ways to boost the energy in your home. It symbolises clarity, opportunity, and renewal. So make sure those windows are clear, and if possible, bring in some extra sunlight by adding mirrors or lighter-coloured décor. But don’t go overboard—mirrors are great for amplifying energy, but too many can be overwhelming.

By decluttering, reflecting, and nurturing the right spaces, you can align yourself with the powerful forces of growth, wisdom, and prosperity the new year can bring. Whether you’re setting new intentions for your career, relationships, or personal well-being, remember that the energy you cultivate in your home is the foundation for all of your successes. So, take a deep breath, clear out the old, and make space for the wonderful things that 2025 has in store. The universe is waiting to deliver—you just need to be ready to receive it!
