An independent editorial reference

Feng shui, explained clearly — and honestly.

Feng Shui Signal is a reference library for feng shui written for American readers. We explain what the tradition actually says — with the Chinese terms, their history, and the reasoning behind them — and we are honest about which parts are cultural practice and which parts research can speak to. No fortune-telling, no miracle promises.

What this library covers

• Core concepts — the bagua, the five elements, kua numbers, the commanding position, and what feng shui actually is — each with original Chinese terminology and classical sources.
• Room-by-room guidance — the bedroom (and its most-asked question, the mirror facing the bed), the home office, the kitchen, the living room, and the entryway.
• Real situations — practical playbooks like feng shui for renters, when your home faces your worst direction, plants, and the cubicle you can't rearrange.
• The annual layer — Flying Stars 2026 plus the full natal chart library: all 24 facings for Period 8 and Period 9 homes.
• The honest layer — is feng shui real? What peer-reviewed research says, what environmental psychology can explain, and where tradition and evidence part ways.
• Free tools — deterministic calculators built from documented traditional rules: the Kua Number Calculator and the Bagua Map Overlay.

Our editorial stance

Feng shui is a Chinese tradition with more than a thousand years of history. It deserves accurate explanation, not caricature — and 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.
