The horse-shoe is considered a symbol of good luck in many cultures across the world. In Feng Shui, the horse-shoe represents the ideal land configuration. For this reason, the horse-shoe can be used in Feng Shui to bring positive energy and prosperity to your home.

The horse-shoe is considered a lucky charm and so its is nailed above the main door. It provides protection from evil spirits and negative energies.

The horse-shoe is most effective after it is worn by a horse. The horse’s galloping energizes the horse-shoe and increases its effectiveness in warding off bad-luck. If you find a worn horse-shoe, you can nail it above your main door for bringing prosperity to your family and home. The correct way to nail the horse-shoe is that the prongs should point downwards.

Note: You should never nail a horse-shoe above east and south-east facing doors. This is because it is made of metal and so doesn’t go well in these directions. You can use it for maximum benefit on west, north-west and north-facing doors.
