Smashing Secrets Feng Shui

In this episode of Smashing Secrets Feng Shui, Chloe and Jo dive into the powerful influence of your home’s main entrance—also known as your “threshold of chi.” Learn how the direction of your front door can attract prosperity, trigger unexpected challenges, or even erode your savings in 2025. Jo breaks down which directions are considered “golden doors” for wealth and opportunity, and which ones may need cures using metal, water, or plants. We also explore how your personal BaZi chart interacts with your home’s energy, and why flying stars matter more than ever this year. Whether you’re a feng shui fan or just feng-curious, this episode gives practical insights on how to shift the energy in your space—and your life.   🎧 Plus: Chloe shares behind-the-scenes updates from her river-themed filming projects, including World Ocean Day at the Royal Museums Greenwich, and a sneak peek at a mesmerising ocean map filmed with a GoPro 360.   ______   Smashing Secrets Feng Shui has been brought to you by Mother-Daughter Duo Jo and Chloe Russell.

Is your home supporting your health, relationships and prosperity, or could the Feng Shui of your environment actually be draining your energy? In this episode of Smashing Secrets Feng Shui, we go back to the foundations of Classical Feng Shui and explore how the physical environment around your home can influence the quality and movement of Chi long before you begin working with Flying Stars, BaZi or Qi Men Dun Jia. As we move into the autumn energy of 2026, we look at why your surroundings, landscape and the physical form of your property matter, and how seemingly simple features such as hills, roads, neighbouring buildings, pathways and your front entrance can affect the way energy reaches and moves through your home. We explore Form School Feng Shui, including the Four Celestial Animals, the Black Tortoise, Green Dragon, White Tiger and Red Phoenix, and what they can reveal about support, opportunity, balance and the flow of energy around your property. You’ll also discover how to look at your home through the eyes of Chi: where energy enters, whether it can gather, how it moves through your rooms, and what features such as clutter, staircases, narrow entrances or fast-moving pathways might be doing to that flow. In this episode: How your surrounding landscape affects the Feng Shui of your home Why Form School Feng Shui comes before Flying Stars How to tell whether your property feels supported or exposed The meaning of the Black Tortoise, Green Dragon, White Tiger and Red Phoenix Why the main entrance is considered the Chi mouth of the home How the Ming Tang or Bright Hall allows energy to gather How clutter and obstacles can disrupt the flow of Chi What staircases, pathways and room layouts can do to household energy How to assess the Yin and Yang balance of your environment A simple exercise for seeing your home as if you were Chi entering it for the first time Before reaching for Feng Shui cures, colours, crystals or wealth activations, this episode invites you to start with something much more fundamental: the relationship between your home, the landscape around it and the energy it is actually able to receive. If your home has ever felt strangely exhausting, unsettled or simply “off”, this episode may help you understand why.
