Floors that also belong to Earth can form a "complementary" relationship with their fate, creating a strong energy field. Floors ending with 5 or 0 are considered Earth in Feng Shui, such as the 5th floor, 10th floor, 15th floor, and 20th floor.
Earth symbolizes stability and support. Living in such floors can create a stable and solid energy environment for people born in the Year of the Ox, helping them be more patient and persistent in their careers. They will be more down-to-earth, easy to gain others' trust and recognition, and their wealth accumulation will grow steadily like soil nurturing all things, making life and career more smooth and prosperous.
(2) Floors Belonging to the Fire Element
Fire can generate Earth, making Fire floors an excellent choice to enhance the energy field for those born in 1997. Floors ending with 2 or 7 are considered Fire, such as the 2nd floor, 7th floor, 12th floor, and 17th floor.
Fire has a passionate and positive energy. Living in such floors can inject vitality into the Earth energy field of people born in the Year of the Ox, enabling them to be more proactive and creative while maintaining their calmness.

Which Is Better for People Born in 1997: East-facing or West-facing Units?
(1) The Feng Shui Advantages of East-facing UnitsFrom a Feng Shui perspective, the East belongs to Wood, which can generate Fire, and Fire can generate Earth. This forms a chain of mutual generation with the Earth element of people born in 1997.
East-facing units can absorb the Wood energy and morning sunlight from the East. Morning sunlight symbolizes hope and vitality, bringing a warm and bright energy to the house.
Living in an East-facing unit allows people born in the Year of the Ox to absorb the energy of the morning sun, keeping them energetic throughout the day and helping them maintain a positive mindset at work, with clear thinking.
The flow of Wood energy can also relieve the stagnation that may come from Earth energy, making life and career more flexible and smooth, and making interpersonal relationships more harmonious and pleasant.
(2) Considerations for West-facing Units
The West belongs to Metal in the Five Elements. Metal can restrain Wood, but its impact on Earth is relatively indirect. West-facing units receive ample sunlight in the afternoon, which can bring warmth, but care should be taken to avoid overly intense light causing the indoor energy field to become too dry.
If choosing a West-facing unit, adjust the light using curtains to keep the indoor energy field gentle. However, compared to East-facing units, the compatible energy field of East-facing units better meets the Feng Shui needs of people born in 1997, thus more beneficial for improving their fortune.
(1) Kitchen Layout
The kitchen is closely related to family health and wealth. A small pot of green potted plants can be placed next to the stove, as green belongs to Wood. The vitality of the potted plant can enhance the Wood energy in the kitchen, indirectly boosting the Fire and Earth energies.
Keep the kitchen clean and dry, avoiding clutter to ensure smooth energy flow. The stove orientation can be chosen as South (Fire) or East (Wood), which are compatible with their Five Elements, enhancing the joy during cooking and promoting harmony in family fortune.
(2) Bathroom Arrangement
The bathroom tends to accumulate dampness, so it's important to balance the energy field. Place a yellow mat in the corner of the bathroom; yellow belongs to Earth, which can strengthen the stabilizing effect of Earth energy and neutralize the coldness brought by dampness.
At the same time, install good ventilation equipment to maintain air circulation and prevent energy stagnation. You can also hang a small gourd charm on the bathroom door. In Feng Shui, the gourd has the effect of warding off negative energy and attracting blessings, helping to purify the bathroom energy field and make the overall energy of the home cleaner.
(3) Utilizing the Corner of the Living Room
Unused corners of the living room can be transformed into a small greenery area, placing a few large-leafed green plants such as Monstera or Pothos. Green belongs to Wood, which can add vitality and Wood energy to the living room, promoting the cycle of mutual generation among the Five Elements.
Place a ceramic ornament near the greenery. Ceramic belongs to Earth, which corresponds to the Five Elements of people born in the Year of the Ox. The round shape of the ornament symbolizes completeness, enhancing the stable energy field of the living room, making family members feel more comfortable and relaxed when moving around, and improving family cohesion.
