An independent editorial reference

Feng shui, explained clearly. And honestly.

A reference library for American readers: the tradition as it is, the evidence as it stands, no miracle promises.

Core concepts

The bagua, the five elements, kua numbers, the commanding position, and what feng shui actually is: each with its Chinese terminology and classical sources.

The honest layer

Is feng shui real? What peer-reviewed research supports, what environmental psychology can explain, and where tradition and evidence part ways.

Rooms & situations

The bedroom (and its most-asked question, the mirror facing the bed), the home office, kitchen, living room, and entryway. Plus playbooks for renters, unlucky-facing homes, plants, and cubicles.

Our editorial stance

Feng shui is a Chinese tradition with more than a thousand years of history. It deserves accurate explanation, not caricature. Readers deserve honesty about evidence, not marketing. Every page on this site names its sources, dates its updates, and separates "the tradition says" from "studies show." Read more about this site and how we work.
