What’s Your Feng Shui Personality Type?

Filed Under: Fun & Fascinating Feng Shui Tagged With: Balance, Five Elements, Newsletter Archives, Personal Growth

Did you know that you have a “personality type” in Feng Shui?

In Feng Shui terms, you are made up of a combination of all of Feng Shui’s Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.

But one element predominates within you — the one that corresponds to your personal Archetype.

    I didn’t know people could be one of the 5 elements too. It’s hard to figure out which one I am. Perhaps a Pioneer or an Alchemist? Interested to read more blog posts on this topic and how it relates to the feng shui of my environment (office, home).
