You will need to stimulate the wealth sector in your workplace. As per the Flying Stars school of fung shui, the wealth star is present in the northwest this year. If your team shares an office, place a water feature, such as a fountain, in the northwest sector of the room. The feature should contain clean, moving water, as still water without any yang activity will not stimulate the wealth qi.

If you share an open office with other departments, consider placing the water fountain in the northwestern sector of your desk. An aquarium is an alternative.

The wealth sector is stimulated by movement and activity, so if it isn't feasible for you to place a water feature in your office, you can use an object that is constantly moving, such as a decorative tube with brightly coloured artificial fish circulating in it.

Choose an auspicious date and time from the Chinese almanac to have your meeting with your boss. Consult a fung shui professional if you can.

From an astrology perspective, you should wear the colours that represent the most auspicious elements for you. If water is your best element, wear black and blue. If fire is your auspicious element, then red and orange would be recommended.
