The following are the simple tips to empower your luck in 2001 depending on the location of your room in a house.

Therefore, you can decorate your room something related to Water, Black, Blue or Cold to empower your money luck.
Southeast Area
The Southeast Area is lucky in year 2001. The unlucky 7-Red star flies into this area. Because more lucky stars than the unlucky ones in the area, people still will have a good ending, if they do their business with caution.
