Your main entrance should face an open area creating a bright hall effect. A door opening into a T-junction or opening down a hallway is considered inauspicious.

The size of the entrance door should not be too small, as it will restrict the amount of Chi that enters. Equally, it should not be too large as to appear unbalanced and out of proportion to the size of the shop front.

Good lighting is also an important factor here, as it will create good Yang energy and attract Chi. Be careful though not to overdo it.

Mirrors can be used wisely in your business. For example, a mirror hung by the cash register symbolizes a doubling effect, thus it signifies the doubling of turnover.

Hung on the side walls signifies the doubling of stock and customers. Full length mirrors are advised in this case as smaller mirrors will signify cutting the customer in two, bringing bad luck.

Avoid hanging a mirror on the back wall unless it is not visible from the entrance, as this will reflect the Chi entering the store. Also take care not to reflect bathrooms or staircases. Mirrors are also well used to wrap square columns to relieve the effect of the poison arrows they create.

I Ching Coins are good to place near the cash register as they attract wealth. You may also stick them to order an invoice books. Try sticking them to your computer or use a screen saver featuring coins.

Hang a good lucky bell on your front door. This is especially suitable for doors facing the west or northwest.
