There are many traditions and rituals associated with Chinese New Year. One of them is to look at the auspicious door directions on the Day of Chinese New Year.
Feng Shui Masters recommend to only open those doors that are facing a good direction! All doors that are facing a bad direction should be kept closed on the first day of Chinese New Year.
This year, Chinese New Year falls on Tuesday, 17th February 2026 and the lucky and unlucky door directions are as follows:
:
Lucky Directions |
Unlucky Directions |
| God of Wealth: SOUTH | 5 Ghosts: SE |
| God of Mentors & Noblemen: EAST | Death Door: NORTH |
| God of Happiness: SOUTH |
It is considered to be most auspicious to invite the God of Wealth into your home from the lucky “God of Wealth” direction on the first day of Chinese New Year, which is SOUTH this year.
Wishing you a prosperous, happy and healthy Year of the Horse 2026!
