Quick Feng Shui Guide
What to Know First
Qixi Festival isn't just a day for couples. In traditional Chinese culture, it's also known as the Qiqiao Festival, a day when people pray to the Weaver Girl for love, a happy marriage, and good relationships.
There are a few things worth keeping in mind on this special day.
Best moves
If you're single, you might wish for a meaningful relationship and the right person to come into your life. If you're already in a relationship or married, you can wish for lasting love, a peaceful home, and a stronger bond with your partner. Traditionally, sincerity matters most. Be clear about what you wish for, and put some real thought into the life you're building.
Watch out
If you're in a long-distance relationship or simply too busy to meet, don't disappear completely.
And don't forget to take care of yourself.
More Feng Shui Notes
Take a moment to make a wish.
Try not to argue or give each other the silent treatment.
Qixi is traditionally associated with reunion, love, and harmony. Even something as simple as saying a few kind words or giving your partner a small gift can mean more than holding onto anger or turning a small disagreement into a bigger problem. If something is bothering you, talk it out instead of letting it damage the relationship.
Make a phone call or send a quick message. Let the person know they're still on your mind. Sometimes, simply knowing someone is thinking of you is the most meaningful gesture of all.
Qixi falls around the transition from summer to early fall, when the weather can still be hot. If you're going out for dinner or a date, don't overdo the cold drinks or raw foods, and pay attention to food hygiene.
At the end of the day, a holiday doesn't have to be elaborate to be meaningful. What matters most is having someone who cares, communicating with kindness, and making the day count.
