Fengshui is the Taoist art and science of balancing the flow of energy within a natural or man-made environment, and in doing so supporting the health, happiness and good fortune of those who reside within that environment. Fengshui can be used therapeutically, as a guide for arranging objects, colors or elements in a beneficial way. It can also be used as a kind of divination system, to predict the future of those living within a particular space.

The Yijing (I-Ching) is another well-known form of Taoist divination.
