After reviewing the challenging feng shui areas for 2012 let's look into the beneficial 2012 feng shui areas. You can apply basic feng shui tips to harness the potential of yearly flying star energies and use it for best feng shui in your home.

As a general advice, be sure to have the feng shui areas with the yearly 2012 beneficial stars brightly lit and with fresh, active yang energy. Clutter clear to allow for a good flow of energy in your home.

Please note that, for best results, you have to know the Bagua of your home.
In 2012, the Chinese New Year (Lunar New Year) starts on January 23, 2012; it is the feng shui year of the Water Dragon.

WEST feng shui area is one of the luckiest feng shui sectors in 2012 with the annual star 8, the Wealth feng shui star. Fire feng shui element colours, such as red, pink, purple, orange and bright yellow, are good in the West feng shui area of your home or office. Use them in moderation, though, and balance with earth element colors and cures.

Store your financial papers in the West area in 2012.
Use crystals to enhance the wealth energy, especially amethyst and pyrite (see our short video tip on the feng shui use of crystals.)
SOUTH has very favourable feng shui energies of the White star # 1 in 2012. The right nourishment of these energies will strengthen the career and good luck energies in one's home or office.

Metal element is good here. Good feng shui colors for this feng shui area in 2012 are water and metal colors, such as black, blue, charcoal gray, white. You can also add other water feng shui element decor cures, choose the ones that work best with the decor of your space.
Avoid fire feng shui element colors, such as red, purple, hot pink, orange, etc, as well as fire feng shui element shapes and decor items.

The 2012 feng shui energies in the South bagua area are also nourishing your relationships. So family photos in metal frames, or any other objects in two that you love and will represent the feng shui cures for love.

This can be an excellent area for a vision board reflecting both professional and personal goals.
EAST feng shui area in 2012 has the # 4 star, the star governing romance, as well as creative endeavors. Best not to use fire or metal colors here, as they damage the wood. Blue and black are good colors for the East feng shui area this year, as, being water feng shui element colors, they feed the wood element of the current # 4 star.

Avoid fire and metal element items or colors in the East feng shui area in 2012. A vibrant green plant in the East is good feng shui.
Display images of romance, as well as exciting travel destinations or creative projects. This is also a good place for your vision board in 2012. Fresh flowers are excellent here.

Think of East feng shui area in 2012 as a very potent love & romance area and be sure to energize the energy of love relationships, be it with images, specific feng shui cures or personal love symbols.
CENTER of your home or office in 2012 has the beneficial 6 white star. It brings the helpful and auspicious energy to achieve recognition for your accomplishments. It also encourages you to aim higher and become more than you thought possible.

Feng shui metal element colors, such as white or gray, as well as all earthy colours are good in the Center in 2012. Quartz crystals and stones are also an excellent feng shui cure for the Center in 2012.
NORTHEAST has the fortunate purple 9 star in 2012, which is a fire element annual star. Be sure not to put down the fire element of this star with water feng shui element items, such as mirrors, colors black and blue, or actual water features or images of water in the Northeast.

Fresh flowers, candles, happy images, etc - all the good vibe items - will only strengthen the already happy potential of this auspicious area. Work with number 9 to multiply the benefits. For example, you can have an arrangement of 9 red or purple candles, or an image of 9 pink flowers.

This is about it for the basic 2012 update on the yearly feng shui energies. Be sure to watch our short feng shui videos to learn how to create good energy in your home.

Hope you have a year filled with love and harmony in your family, success and powerful breakthroughs in your professional life, and, most importantly, a year of vibrant health.

Best to you and your family in 2012!
