Make Your
Own Luck
The popular
ladybug is often
used as a symbol
of luck in America.
Though it isn’t a
symbol of luck in
Chinese culture, it’s
color is – you’ll see
lots of red around
Chinese New
Year, as it’s used
to symbolize luck,
happiness, and joy.
In August of this year, Mavis L. Wanczyk of Massachusetts won the
biggest undivided lottery jackpot in US history. That’s what we’d call
luck – for no apparent reason other than chance, she was granted an
unbelievable amount of money when a series of numbers aligned in her
favor. Ancient Chinese culture, on the other hand, defines luck differently
than this context we are familiar with in the west. They believe there
exists three areas of luck that influence our lives.

1
HEAVENLY LUCK
The first type of luck in Ancient Chinese
culture is your Heavenly Luck. This is our life
purpose, our destiny, and our natural gifts
and talents we were endowed with. Some
call it fate and might argue that our Heavenly
Luck is set in stone, but others believe it is
influenced by the other two-thirds of luck in
our lives.
2
HUMAN LUCK
The second is your Human Luck. This
equates to how we choose to live, and we
have control over this type of luck based on
our actions. Are you putting your gifts and
talents to good use? Are you challenging
yourself to grow and expand, or are you
playing it safe and staying where you’re
comfortable? Are you taking care of yourself
by getting enough sleep, exercising, and
eating healthily? As you work on bettering
yourself, you increase your Heavenly Luck.
3
EARTH LUCK
The last type of luck is your Earth Luck.
This relates to where you live, where
you work, and how the natural forces in
those environments impact you. This is
where Feng Shui comes into play as well
as the state of your relationship with your

environment. Do you see your home as
safe haven or sanctuary? Are things going
smoothly and opportunities coming your
way? Does your space support your values
and the direction you want to go in life?
Do you feel something is off in your space
and you can’t quite figure it out? Are you
struggling to make ends meet?
CHANGING YOUR LUCK
Ancient Chinese culture believes that
positive Feng Shui can change your luck
and, in turn, change your life. You may have
been born with health problems, but a home
enhanced with Feng Shui can support better
opportunities to increase your health. You
may be destined to be financially abundant,
but Feng Shui may increase your money
luck faster.
Or, you may have noticed that ever
since you moved into your home, your luck
seemed to change for better or worse. While
it may feel random, it is possible that you
are being influenced by the predecessor’s
energy or bad luck within that home. This
could mean you need to energetically clear
the space and realign your home’s energy.
Once you become aware of what needs
balance in your life, you can put the puzzle
pieces together and see where things need
to shift.
Feng Shui can be as easy as making
small adjustments. These small adjustments
add up to better opportunity in your life.
They help to improve and correct your
odds. It might be why the Chinese call it
‘luck’. A great way to visualize this is to
think of redirecting the law of attraction into
a building. When the house is aligned with
the earth and the life-purpose of those who
live there, it creates a foundation of good
luck or opportunity which, in turn, helps the
outcome of your Heavenly Luck. Your home
becomes a three-dimensional springboard
for a better life.
By connecting to your heart’s desire
and consciously aligning your actions
and thoughts to your vision, you shift your
Human Luck and your Heavenly Destiny.
When your home also supports your vision,
you’re maximizing the benefits within all
three luck areas and putting yourself on the
path to the best life you can live.
