Energizing with the Color Purple

"It is useful to mention that the color of 9 is purple. On this basis alone there are a number of feng shui Masters well schooled by the Taoists who look on purple as an exceptionally lucky color. The Chinese say that when good luck comes, red becomes so red it turns purple! Thus in 2009, it is an excellent idea to think seriously about activating with the color purple once again.

You can energize the South direction of your home with the color purple. This will activate the Element of Fire as purple here is seen as an extension of red. Purple in the South in 2009 energizes the luck of romance and it also helps the Horse-born person regain whatever momentum may have been lost in the previous year. The color purple will also bring wealth luck to those who energize the SE with its presence. It is beneficial to paint a wall in the SE with the color purple - in this sector of the home, purple takes on the attributes of the Element of Water thereby activating the wealth accumulation chi energy of this very lucky direction of 2009.

This ritual of painting a purple wall in the SE also benefits the Dragon and the Snake born, expanding the money luck of the Snake and bringing a big opportunity to the Dragon."
