CNY Preparations: How to Align Your Home, Energy, and Luck for the Yea – Hoseiki Jewelry

Chinese New Year is not just a celebration.
It is an energetic reset.

Before the year truly begins, the way you prepare your home, your surroundings, and yourself determines how smoothly the new energy enters your life. In Feng Shui, preparation matters more than decoration. What you activate, protect, and stabilise before and during CNY influences wealth flow, health, relationships, and overall momentum for the entire year.

This is why traditional CNY preparation has always gone beyond cleaning or buying something new. It is about aligning your environment with the right energy, so luck can enter and stay.

Below is a practical and meaningful guide to preparing your home for Chinese New Year, combining tradition, Feng Shui principles, and modern application.

Welcoming the Wealth God: Agarwood Incense for Auspicious Beginnings

One of the most important CNY rituals is inviting Cai Shen, the God of Wealth.

Traditionally, families light incense during the early days of Chinese New Year to welcome wealth energy into the home. Agarwood incense is especially valued because of its grounding, calming, and spiritually elevating properties.

Agarwood has long been used in temples and classical Feng Shui practices because it helps:

Purify stagnant energy
Create a calm and respectful space
Set a clear intention for wealth and abundance

Lighting agarwood incense during CNY is not about asking for sudden riches. It is about signalling readiness. When the environment is calm and respectful, wealth energy enters more smoothly and stays longer.

This ritual is best done with intention, not rush, allowing the scent to gently fill the space as you welcome the new year.

Activating Wealth: Placing a Wealth Bowl in the Right Spot

Many people place wealth items randomly, hoping for results. In Feng Shui, placement matters as much as the item itself.

A wealth bowl works best when placed in the home’s wealth sector, usually the Southeast, depending on the house orientation. When positioned correctly, it helps activate steady financial energy rather than unstable or impulsive gains.

A properly prepared wealth bowl supports:

Consistent income flow
Better money management
Long-term financial stability

It is important that the bowl contains natural crystals and is not overcrowded with decorative fillers. Wealth energy grows best when it feels supported, not cluttered.

CNY is the most suitable time to activate or refresh a wealth bowl because it aligns with new beginnings and fresh energy cycles.

Reducing Sickness Energy: 6 Coins for the Northwest Sector

Health luck is often overlooked during CNY preparation, yet it is one of the most important foundations of prosperity.

In annual Feng Shui, certain sectors may carry sickness or weakened energy. The Northwest sector often requires attention, especially when illness-related stars are present.

The traditional remedy used is the 6 Chinese coins, which symbolise metal energy and protection. When placed correctly, they help:

Weaken sickness-related qi
Stabilise the sector’s energy
Reduce unnecessary health disturbances

This is a preventative measure. Feng Shui works best when adjustments are made before problems appear, not after.

Improving Relationships and Reducing Clashes: Essential Oils at Home

Chinese New Year gatherings bring people together. While joyful, they can also amplify tension if the home energy is unbalanced.

Using essential oils in the bedroom and living areas helps soften sharp energy and reduce emotional friction. Certain scents support calmness, communication, and emotional balance, which are especially important during festive periods.

Properly chosen essential oils can:

Reduce arguments and misunderstandings
Improve sleep quality
Create a more harmonious home environment

This is particularly useful for couples, families living together, or homes that feel tense or restless.

Tai Sui Clash: Why Protection Matters During CNY

If your zodiac clashes with Tai Sui in the new year, ignoring it can create unnecessary resistance. Tai Sui is not something to fear, but it should be acknowledged respectfully.

Using a Tai Sui card is a traditional way to show respect and reduce friction with annual energy. It helps:

Smooth obstacles
Reduce unexpected disruptions
Provide energetic protection throughout the year

This is especially recommended for those experiencing career pressure, emotional stress, or repeated delays.

Strengthening Overall Luck: Twin Pixiu in the South

The South sector is associated with visibility, reputation, and momentum.

Placing Twin Pixiu in this area supports overall luck by combining wealth attraction with protection. Pixiu is known for guarding wealth and preventing loss, rather than encouraging reckless gain.

When placed correctly, Twin Pixiu can help:

Strengthen overall fortune
Improve opportunities
Protect existing wealth from leakage

This placement is suitable for both homes and workspaces, especially for those focusing on growth and recognition.

Preparing Beyond the Home: Why BaZi Matters for the Year Ahead

While Feng Shui aligns your environment, BaZi aligns you.

Each person enters the new year with different strengths, challenges, and timing. This is why some people thrive effortlessly while others struggle despite effort.

A BaZi reading helps you:

Understand your personal luck cycle
Know when to act and when to conserve energy
Make better decisions aligned with your elements

CNY is the best time to review your BaZi because it allows you to plan consciously instead of reacting blindly.

Start the Year Aligned, Not Rushed

Chinese New Year preparation is not about doing everything.
It is about doing the right things, in the right way, at the right time.

When your home is aligned, your energy becomes calmer.
When your energy is calmer, decisions become clearer.
And when decisions are clear, luck has space to grow.
