Q&A Sunday: Feng Shui Plants for Attracting a New Job

Guest User September 26, 2021

I would like to get a feng shui plant to help me attract a job. Where can I buy one?

People often think that some plants are feng shui plants and some are not, but in fact, any plant can be a feng shui plant. You don’t even have to buy one. You can get a cutting from a plant, or you could receive a gifted plant from a friend, and it could be a feng shui plant. What makes a plant a feng shui plant is your intention. Are you putting this plant in a particular place for a specific feng shui reason? If so, then the plant can help to shift and provide more growth and healing in that situation. Not every plant in your home needs to have a feng shui purpose.

Similarly, it’s not necessarily the type of plant that is important, but rather where you put the plant. Since you are hoping to attract a job, you might find the fame area of your desk, since your desk represents your job. I would suggest putting a plant there to activate that area and invite recognition in your work. The fame area of your desk is the center back section.

Make sure you get a plant that’s well-groomed and healthy, and place it in this area with intention. The fame area, called Li in Chinese, is connected to the fire element. Because the wood element, represented by plants, feeds fire, a plant can be very supportive here. Your intention for your plant in this area can be to provide more growth and to feed the fire of your visibility so that you can attract a job.

I hope that helps! If you want to learn more about feng shui and plants, be sure to check out Plants & Feng Shui and Bad Feng Shui Plants on the Holistic Spaces Podcast.

Last week, I got to join my friend Katie Dalebout on her podcast LET IT OUT! I've helped Katie with all of her apartments, and this is the fourth time I've talked with her on her podcast.

In this episode, we caught up on the past year and I helped Katie update her space. We also talked about what we're learning about rushing, the connection between space and creativity, letting go of possessions, moving furniture often, clutter, generosity, ceramics, and more.
