Simply Feng Shui Tips to Consider When Buying A New Car

Simply Feng Shui Tips to Consider When Buying A New Car

The ancient practice of feng shui has long piqued the interest of countless Filipinos who are seeking to add a touch of luck to their personal lives and business dealings. Traditionally used to orient structures in a manner that would attract positive energies, ward off negative vibrations, and at best, reel in good fortune, feng shui values can also be adopted when making big purchases such as cars.

In light of the upcoming Chinese New Year celebrations this February, the team behind the highly anticipated Manila International Auto Show or simply MIAS, consulted with feng shui expert Maxima Tiu to find out what one should consider when buying a new car this “Year of the Earth Pig”.

Buy for the right reason

Before anything else, Tiu advises one to thoroughly assess one’s reasons for buying a new car. Moreover, only if one can afford such purchase, whether for business or leisure purposes, should one proceed to buy a new car.

Determining one’s element

When thinking of applying feng shui for anything, it is crucial to find out one’s element. This is based on one’s animal sign or birth year. One can refer to numerous Chinese astrological charts that are easily available on credible online sites. Once people have determined their element, they may proceed to choose from the lucky colors that correspond to the element. Apart from creating harmony in one’s life, choosing the right color for a car based on feng shui is said to help one avoid unfavorable incidents.

Choosing the lucky color

For those who are ruled by the Wood element, they may choose between green and red colors but must avoid the color white. Those ruled by Metal should avoid bright colors such as red, yellow, and orange as this can lead to mood instability. Instead, one must go for cars that come in white, black, or blue. Similarly, those ruled by the element of Water must avoid shocking hues and must instead stick to cooler hues like green, black, and blue.

On the other hand, those ruled by the Fire element can freely go for bright colored cars like red, yellow, and orange but must avoid cooler hued vehicles like green, blue, and black. The same goes for those ruled by the Earth element who must avoid such cool toned cars and instead opt for earthier colors like white, red, and brown.

Aside from being a general advise when deciding on one’s car color, the color guide for each element may also be applied when choosing car accent colors and accessories. Yet at the end of the day, Tiu stresses that feng shui only serves to augment one’s luck. People will always be ruled by free will in all that they do.

Watch out for lucky cars or shops for auspicious car accessories at the upcoming MIAS! Hailed as the biggest and most anticipated car and motor expo in the country, MIAS, which is now on its 15th year, is happening on April 4 to 7, from 10:00am to 10:00pm at the World Trade Center Manila and North Wing of the venue.

For the nature-lovers out there, you can also visit the Tappiya Falls or try the Awan-Igid-Pula-Cambulo trek and make sure to visit some local stores before heading home.

Bicol

Lucky Colors for Lucky Journeys

Lucky Colors for Lucky Journeys

Chinese New Year is just a few days away and it’s always useful to know what colors are considered lucky for you this year. These lucky colors can be applied to all kinds of things from the color of your car to the accent colors for your interiors to the accessories you place to “luck” up your ride. Feng Shui expert, Maxima Tiu, believes that when choosing your lucky color, you must first know what astrological element you are:

Wood

Whether you’re a Wood Pig or a Wood Horse, as long as your element is Wood, green and red are your lucky colors this year. Consider choosing a green-colored car or accessory in your next purchase. This year’s no-no color is white.

Metal

For the Metals, white, gold, and blue are your colors this year. It’s the time to go for a safe white car or go bold with gold. Perhaps a touch of blue accessories for your interiors may help drive that extra luck. This year’s no-no colors are red, yellow, and orange.

Fire

The lucky colors for Fire this year are: red, yellow, and gold. These are bold colors individually and powerful as a combination. Start with a simple yellow keychain and perhaps a gold cellphone mount and you may find your road to good fortune. Your no-no colors are green and blue.

Water

This year, those whose element is Water should go for green and blue. A blue blanket may give you warmth and fortune. Keeping some green-colored USB chargers wouldn’t hurt either. Whatever you do, avoid red, yellow, and orange.

Earth

Lastly, is it surprising that Earth’s lucky colors are white, red, and brown? Don’t worry about standing out too much with your brand new, bright, shiny red ride –it’s meant to attract success. Add your white smashing decals and you should be just fine. Your seats are already brown, right? Just stay away from green, black, and blue.

Ask Maxima Tiu herself about any Feng Shui questions. Find her store at 757 Ongpin Street Binondo, Manila.

Happy Chinese New Year! We hope these tips from feng shui expert Maxima Tiu guide you to a prosperous 2019.
