2022 Feng Shui colors based on the 5 elements

The year 2022 is also called “Ren Ying” year according to the old “10 heavenly stems and 12 earthly branches” timing system. And the Ren belongs to the Water element. The color representing the Water element include black or different shades of blue.

The Yin belongs to the Wood element, so the representing colors include all shades of green.

Water and Wood elements show the dominant colors for the 2022 year of the Tiger. Besides that, remember we are still in Feng Shui Period 8 which is related to the Earth element.

Based on the Flying Star feng shui chart of the 2022 year, the center is the 5 yellow star. This is also an Earth star. So the Earth colors of brown, yellow, and beige will still be powerful this year.

In a very general sense, these colors are the lucky colors or power colors in 2022. But this is not always true for everyone.

Different theories to identify your lucky colors

There are many different ways in Chinese feng shui and fortune telling to find your personal lucky colors. Common methods include the use of the five elements, your birth chart (Ba Zi), your birth season, and the yearly flying star feng shui chart.

Each method has its own limits. The color based on the five elements in your birth chart can be more permanent, but you don’t see the dramatic results right away.

On the other hand, the yearly flying star feng shui chart lasts only for one year, but any set up of colors can show quicker results.

Things to consider for picking your lucky colors

To pick your own personal lucky colors, you also need to understand yourself first. Know your goals and dreams, your personality, your strength and weakness, your current stage in life, and your current living environment.

These factors can change your current energy. By knowing your own position and what energy you like to bring in the future, you can pick out the right colors to enhance that energy. This can be based on the five-element theory or other theories.

Design and build your lucky environment with colors

You might want to increase certain energy to enhance your strength, remedy your weakness, or emphasize a certain direction that is aligned with your current goals. Those will be your lucky colors.

For example, you are an introvert but you like to add more excitement in your life, you can add more colors related to the Fire energy such as red, orange, or deep purple.

Or, if you are a summer-born person and you like to tone down your outgoing personality, you can add Water elements and colors of blue or black as your lucky colors.

In traditional Chinese fortune-telling, a balanced 5 elements in a birth chart is considered lucky because this person tends to have a smooth life without too many ups and downs.

On the other hand, a birth chart with 1 or 2 strong elements but a lack of some elements can create imbalance. This can mean the person is great in one area, but awkward in other areas. It might seem more obstacles and challenges for this person, but it is also true that imbalanced elements can trigger great talent and achievement, and the person with balanced elements tends to have an ordinary life.

It is hard to say who is lucky and who is not. Some people might be very happy with a peaceful life, and others prefer competition and becoming the number 1. Different personalities will have different perspectives of good luck, and the choice of lucky colors will be very different.

Your lucky colors can change in different times and places

Depending on the different stages in your life, different goals, and your physical locations, your lucky colors can change too.

It is a good idea to review your current point in life and make adjustments to your lucky color choice.

Once you know the energy you want to bring into your life and decide the related colors, you can apply these colors everywhere in your daily life.

You can use the lucky colors for home decor, fashion, accessories, or even business cards, social media profiles, and so on.

Now you know the process of choosing your lucky colors, you know why the colors of the year are not always lucky for everyone.

It is more important to understand yourself and see what energy you like to increase in your current life. There is no one answer that fits all. Don’t over-stress it. Be flexible and trust your own intuition!
