The # 1 White star visiting the South feng shui bagua area in 2012 is the feng shui star associated with overall success - be it in career, love relationships, money or education.

It is a Water feng shui element star visiting a Fire feng shui element bagua area, so you have to be careful in applying your cures.

Here's how to prepare the South of your home for good 2012 feng shui:
  • Introduce Water and Metal element decor items in the South bagua area of your home in 2012. Colors blue, black, charcoal grey and white are a good choice of colours for South bagua decor in 2012 because of their element energies.

  • The feng shui decor to avoid in the South in 2012 is the Wood element decor (Wood weakens the Water feng shui element of the visiting star). So avoid a strong presence of colours green and brown, as well as tall big plants or focal point images with plants/lush greenery.

  • Even though the feng shui element of the South bagua area is Fire, it is best to avoid its strong presence in 2012. You do not have to eliminate it completely, just focus on a feng shui element decor that will strengthen the 2 feng shui elements needed here in 2012 - the Water and the Metal elements.

  • Best feng shui cures for South in 2012 are the cures with strong victorious, joyful energy. The image of the horse is a classical feng shui cure that can work very well here. A metal Wu Lou (Chinese gourd) is also recommended, as well as items in round shapes.
Caution:

Another reason to be careful and mindful as to how you treat your South bagua area in 2012 is the fact that along with the auspicious White Star # 1 there is also a presence of not-so auspicious energy (3 killings is the traditional Chinese feng shui interpretation of this energy.)

In order to avoid complications, it is recommended to keep the South area quiet in 2012, no reno work, no noise, etc. It is best not to spend too much time there in 2012, as well as to neither face the South for too long, nor have your back to it (as in work, for example.)

A strong protective energy is good here; you can choose your own protection symbols or go for a traditional Chinese feng shui cure, such as the Chi Lin, for example.
