A clock marks time and stirs the flow of energy, so feng shui pays attention to where and which way it faces. Hung in the right spot it keeps fortune turning; hung wrong it can bring unease or clashing energy.
Avoid facing the front or room door
A clock facing the front door carries an unlucky pun on endings and lets entering energy rush straight at it. Offset it slightly or hang it on a side wall so it isn't the first thing you face on entering.
Not facing the bed or your seat
A clock facing the bed or a regular seat, with its ticking and turning hands, can keep the subconscious tense and restless. Hang it to the side or out of the direct line of sight for a calmer mood.
Favor the dragon side (left)
Facing into the home, your left is the dragon side, which favors motion and suits a clock to stir auspicious energy. The right is the tiger side, which favors stillness and is less suited to moving objects — a useful guide when arranging.
Keep the count moderate and the time accurate
Don't have too many clocks at home, or the energy turns agitated and unsettling. One per space is plenty — keep them powered and on time, and repair or put away any stopped clock promptly.
Fixes & lucky tips
Key principle: no clash, steady and accurate. Placed well and kept on time, a clock becomes a good helper for keeping your rhythm and letting fortune flow smoothly.
