Feng Shui for Your Name: How Characters Affect Your Luck

In Chinese metaphysics, your name is more than an identifier — it's an energy pattern that interacts with your personal feng shui.

How Names Affect Energy

Your name characters create specific energies:

**Meaning energy** — The semantic content of each character

**Stroke energy** — The number of strokes in each character

**Tonal energy** — The sound vibration when spoken

**Elemental energy** — The Five Element associated with each character

Elemental Feng Shui

Each character belongs to one of the Five Elements. A name with balanced elements creates harmonious energy. A name with clashing elements creates disruptive energy.

Practical Name Feng Shui

Simple adjustments can improve name feng shui:
