Take a moment to observe and identify any issues, and make timely adjustments to avoid bigger problems that may arise at any time.

Do you feel stagnant in your career? Even the smallest details like a crack in the wall can impact your professional success.

These feng shui signs indicating a decline in your career can prevent you from reaching your highest potential.

1. Cracks and Leaks on the Wall

In feng shui, cracks and leaks in any structure represent an energy leak, leading to a drain of abundance and new opportunities from your life.

We tend to overlook such damages and cracks until a renovation is needed, but it’s best to fix them immediately. Otherwise, your career may continue to decline, and you might not understand the reason why.

2. Clutter Creates Obstacles

Imagine the flow of life force as a meandering river throughout your home or office. If your belongings are too cluttered, from your desk to the floor, the very nature of this energy will be diluted.

Anyone struggling with their career should start by tidying up and cleaning their immediate environment.

We tend to hoard when facing financial and career difficulties. Therefore, getting rid of anything lying around the house that is broken, outdated, or past its expiration date will help clear out stagnant energy.

Otherwise, you’re creating dark corners filled with dusty, cluttered items, poor ventilation, and blocked energy flow. These dark spaces often carry negative energy and low vibrational energy.

3. Don’t Turn Your Back on the Entrance

We should avoid sitting with our backs to the entrance door. Doing so will attract more competitors in your career if you ignore this advice.

If you want to advance in your career and outpace your colleagues, friends, and competitors, it’s essential to strategically position your desk and chair so you don’t face the entrance or a window.

4. Plastic and Metal Furniture

Metal furniture can cause an imbalance if placed in the wrong direction. In feng shui, it is always recommended to choose wooden furniture as it carries the energy of nature to a higher degree and always provides a pleasant feeling.

However, we live in a plastic age, and plastic is ubiquitous. Try to minimize its use when you can’t find an alternative, such as in electrical appliances.

5. Lack of Lighting

Pay attention to the lighting quality around your workspace, especially in a home office, as it significantly impacts your mental and overall health.

In feng shui, the northeast, north, and east sectors must have sufficient sunlight entering through windows, as these areas attract positivity and prosperity from the universe.

A well-lit office will always have a vibrant feel, positively impacting career advancement. It promotes individual talent development and enhances a sense of responsibility at work.

6. Indoor Plants

A feng shui sign predicting a decline in your career is the incorrect placement of indoor plants.

Three critical directions to consider for career development are:

  • The southwest, which is considered the skill sector.
  • The west-southwest (WSW) is sacred to Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge and learning, who helps you attain your goals.
  • The west is associated with expression and the fulfillment of desires.

If you have wealth-inducing indoor plants, take good care of them and create favorable conditions for their growth. This symbolizes the homeowner taking responsibility for their finances.

Additionally, relocate any trash bins, toilets, and shoe racks from these corners as they symbolize destruction.

7. Incorrect Color Decor

The north sector is associated with water energy, symbolizing new opportunities and creativity. Any red accents or features in this direction should be removed, as they may negatively affect your career.

Similarly, the south is linked to reputation and recognition, and having blue or black shades in these directions can impact your networking skills.
