Paint your front door red or bring red decor items into your home. If red decor is not your design aesthetic, consider wearing red occasionally. Contemplate your own culture and personal connections to see what symbolizes luck and protection for you. You might prefer your gatekeepers to be a pair of elephants, dragons, or lions, for example. Once you decide what animal symbols are meaningful to you, place a pair at your front door, one on each side, or even on the doors in a form such as knockers. The leaves resemble swords that can symbolically cut through any obstacles with fierce compassion. As a bonus, the snake plant is easy to care for and hardy. Each animal has its own type of energy, but there are also many other nuances. For example, each zodiac animal has a best friend to share an ideal relationship with. For good feng shui, see what animal of the year it is each year based on the Chinese zodiac calendar. Then, find a realistic three-dimensional image of the animal of the year’s best friend. Carry this image with you or display it in your home. It becomes a good luck charm that protects you from harm. Remember, it changes every year. The Chinese zodiac animal pairs that are best friends are rat and ox, tiger and pig, rabbit and dog, dragon and rooster, snake and monkey, and horse and ram.
