Whether you find yourself working from home or in a bustling office, one item of furniture plays a pivotal role in your productivity - the work desk. This humble piece of furniture holds the key to unlocking your potential and achieving more than just average results. It's time to harness the power of feng shui and optimize your desk placement and position.
The Importance of Interior Forms
When it comes to feng shui, the layout and configuration of your office space are crucial factors to consider. Interior forms, such as exposed overhead beams, the position of windows, and the alignment of doors, can significantly impact the energy flow in your workspace.
Beams: A Common Feng Shui Affliction
Exposed overhead beams are a well-known problem in feng shui. Unfortunately, builders often overlook these considerations when designing workspaces. These beams can disrupt the harmonious flow of energy, causing obstacles in your career path. It's essential to ensure there are no beams directly above your desk to avoid any negative influences.
Windows: The Right View Matters
Windows provide a scenic view and allow you to relax your eyes amidst a busy workday. However, when it comes to desk position, it's crucial to avoid having a window directly behind you. This arrangement can attract negative energy and potentially expose you to untrustworthy colleagues. The ideal orientation is to have windows on the left side of your desk, with the second-best option being on the right.
Doors: A Feng Shui Focal Point
In feng shui, doors hold significant importance. When positioning your desk, it's crucial to avoid placing it directly in the line of sight of the door. This placement invites trouble and disrupts the flow of energy. The best desk placement is to have it perpendicular to the door but not directly in its line of sight.

Utilizing Personal Directions
When working, it's essential to tap into the energy that aligns with your purpose. In 8 Mansions feng shui, you can calculate your kua number and determine your personal sheng chi (SC) direction. Your SC direction represents the most favorable chi for achieving your goals.
Consider your desk placement options in conjunction with the interior forms we discussed earlier. If a section of your workspace allows for a position where you face your SC direction, it is the optimal location and orientation for your desk.
However, if facing your SC direction is not feasible, you face a decision. Should you prioritize a location without form problems or a position that enables you to face your SC direction? The ideal choice would be to avoid any interior form guidelines, but any location that allows you to face one of the remaining three favorable directions should also be considered.
Shedding Light with Energy Maps
Flying star feng shui provides valuable insight into the configuration of furniture in your office. Although the intricacies of finding the flying star natal chart best suited for your workspace are beyond the scope of this article, we can assume the energy map for an office in the period of 8, facing SW2.
From the natal chart below, it becomes evident that the north and northwest sectors hold favorable white star 1 and white star 6 respectively. To maximize your desk's positive energy, positioning it in either the north or northwest section of your workspace is ideal. The northwest sector, resembling a command position, is the better choice, while the west sector should be avoided.

In this optimal position, your desk benefits from a window on the left, representing the dragon, while also having a wall behind for support, symbolizing a mountain. Furthermore, the desk is not directly in front of the door, allowing for uninterrupted energy flow. By facing the southeast sheng chi direction, you tap into your personal source of favorable chi. Additionally, the desk is located in the northwest sector, where a favorable water star resides.
It's important to note that not every workspace will have the luxury of meeting all three criteria simultaneously. In such cases, it becomes essential to prioritize avoiding interior form problems and negative energies over attracting positive energies. By making careful choices and considering these feng shui principles, you can create an environment that supports your success and wellbeing.
Remember, the key to a harmonious and productive workspace lies in the placement and position of your office desk. With the power of feng shui, you can unlock your full potential and pave the way to a successful future.
