Place a red star in your bedroom
In Feng Shui, a star is a symbol of hope and red is the color of passion. By placing a red star somewhere in your bedroom, somewhere you can see it often, will not only remind you of what you're hoping to attract but also open you to whatever the universe sends your way.

Clean out everything under your bed
This will clear out any obstacles that may be blocking the flow of Chi, or energy, from moving around your bed and stopping love in your life. And as the bed is a symbol of love so it's important to keep the flow of Chi moving around it.

Have nine pictures, nine candles, or some other representation of nine in your living room
In Feng Shui, the number nine represents fulfillment. To attract fulfillment into your life, use nine similar items in your living room. This can be nine candles placed throughout or nine pictures of friends and family in nine separate frames.

Write the word "love" on a piece of paper
Writing the word "love" on a piece of paper sets your mind on what it is you want to attract into your life. You should write the word in red ink and put that piece of paper in a box made of wood. The red ink symbolizes love and the wooden box in which you place the paper represents growth.
