Dirt has the effect of muddying the water element in this area. Also avoid using anything made of clay or ceramic in this area as these materials represent the Earth element.

Avoid yellow and brown. Yellow and earth-toned colors are too earthy for this water area of the home.  Keep the tones as white and black as possible with a lot of glass elements.

If your career needs boosting or you hate your job then consider the following feng shui enhancements.

The North sector of you home is ruled by flowing water so this is the perfect place to install a tabletop fountain.

Black objects work well in this sector as black is the color that symbolizes water in Chinese Feng Shui.

Mirrors also equal water in feng shui, so the placement of mirrors in this sector not only doubles your chance of success but also increases the chi that is appropriate to flow through this area.

Place images that represent the lifestyle or occupation that you aspire to in this area.

The fluidity of glass is comparable to the fluid movement of water. Feel free to enhance your career energies by placing glass vases, shelves and bowls in the north sector.

The most ideal locations to situate a home office, in order of best to last are the North (the Career Sector), the Southwest (the Wealth sector), the Northeast (Skills and Talents sector) or the South (the fame and recognition sector.)

 
Always sit with a solid wall behind your back. Wall represent emotional and financial support. A back with no wall is not supported by life. Never sit with a window behind you as it makes your back a point of vulnerability for negative chi.

 
Position your desk to have a clear view of the door. If this isn’t possible, hang a small mirror so you can easily view the door’s reflection.

 
Don’t put a shelf over your desk. This symbolizes things that will “hang over your head” and monkeys on your back. The sharp corners of shelves can be harsh shar chi.  If you do have a shelf over your head hang chimes from it and don’t overload it with heavy objects as the shelf can symbolize burdens.

Feng Shui can also apply to the type of fonts that you use when you design a website, resume or even a contract. After all, Feng Shui is about the fine art of object placement and the way you place letters or words on a page may have a subtle influence on your good fortune.
 
The idea is to choose a font that is not too cluttered looking and that has some rounded letters.  Here is a breakdown of what you should be looking for in a Font.
 
First of all avoid tiny fonts. Times New Roman may seem like a good choice for a font as it is so official looking. However the design of Times New Roman is very yin, thus suggesting a control freak or person who is not open to new information. Also Times New Roman fits almost 700 words to a page rather than the usual 500 which can make a page look cluttered or “too full”. Also avoid Antiqua,
 
Fonts that are shorter and squatter in nature are too Yang and suggest flakiness or unreliability. These include Bookman, Microsoft Sans Serif, Courier and Century Gothic.
 
Fonts that are tall with just a touch of embellishment are good. These include Arial, Helvetica, elementary, Palatino and Tahoma. 
 
Try to choose fonts that have a few curves. Trebuchet is a fairly good choice of font simply because it contains many rounded curves that in terms of object placement on the page. Other fonts with nicely rounded letters include Georgia, Basic Sans, Bookman, Tennessee and Blue Ridge.

The problem with being unemployed is that it often leads to a state of semi-depression and complacency. The first Feng Shui remedy for finding a new job would be to clean up your desktops – both the desktop on your computer and the one that holds all of your important papers. If you are one of those people who uses a kitchen or dining room table as a desktop then another cure would be to create a kind of job search central by buying a table or desk that is specifically devoted to looking for a job.   By the way when it comes to clearing clutter you can also declutter your resume by taking any unnecessary embellishments off of it. This applies to both the font and layout as well as the content. 

  The reason you want to release as much clutter as possible is so that new chi can circulate through your life and make you open to new opportunities. Any objects that you throw out, especially those related to your old life should be replaced by red colored objects as they represent the element of fire. A red candle or red lava lamp placed in a southwest corner may work wonders.    

Peace Be Still Sam.
