I am just starting my own business in my home as an Information Specialist -- doing Internet Research and other forms of research for companies. I want to know if there are Feng Shui rules to follow for designing my business cards? I am working with a graphic designer. My company name is "Selkis Information Specialists," and since "Selkis" has Egyptian roots, I want to use an Egyptian theme in the design of the cards. The graphic designer has incorporated a pyramid-look into one of the designs that I really like with an eye in the middle (like the dollar bill). I am wondering if the pyramid, since it is pointed at the top signifies a poison arrow, especially since it is pointed aimed toward my company name at the top of the business card? Also, are the colors used in business cards important? For your information, I was born on Oct. 24, 1959 at 3:00 p.m. in Des Moines, Iowa. My business is in my home. My home faces West, and my office is North. Thanks for any advice you can give. -- Felicia

Hi Felicia,
Many Traditional Feng Shui Masters use the Pillars of Destiny to advise on the type of Company Logo to be used:
1. For a company for example, they look at the type of business.
In my country, one local bank has a ancient coin in the middle of their logo and a circular purple background.
The coin symbolises the Metal Element and Banking is considered a metal element.
Here, what is done is to use Purple = Fire element to `destroy' the coin in the centre. The end result is to produce Wealth.
2. Many also take advantage of their personal element to create Logos for their proprietorship.
For example, a weak Wood person actually used a wavy logo in green i.e. Wavy pattern = Water element and Green = Wood.
Here, he is using water to nurish/strength wood and at the same time use Wood to strength his wood element.
The above is how logos are designed using Pillars of Destiny knowlege e.g. weak Fire, strong Fire etc...
I have a list of occupations in relation to the element in my Applied Feng Shui Made Easy book.
For the Fire element, for example, the occupation includes : Sales and Marketing.
So for your case, you can look at what your element is and try to enhance it.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
