FENG SHUI and MISSING CORNERS-Family


As well as the Eight Aspirations each of the four primary and four secondary corners of the Lo-Shu grid relate to members of the family.      

Last time we highlighted the importance of the Northwest and Southwest and their effect on the male and the female (the mother and father) of the home.  Now we will complete the family picture and discover who will be impacted by missing corners in the remaining six locations.

East                        The East is the location of the eldest son, the Dragon of the family.  This is the best place to locate the bedroom for your first son to thrive.  When missing it will make it difficult for him to grow; an important point in this big wood area of the Pa Kua.  As well as the eldest son this could easily refer to a young protégé in the business world and when the area is missing in the home it will seriously affect his path up the corporate ladder.

Southeast           This is the location of the eldest daughter of the family.  She represents the wind which brings positive energy into the area, helping her thrive.  Her positive growth will be seriously depleted if this corner is missing.  In a business environment she will struggle to be heard if she lacks the support of the southeast at home.

South                    Your middle daughter will benefit from a bedroom located in this area.  The south is the fire area relating to fame, recognition and a place in the limelight.  Your middle daughter will not be overlooked at home or at work when she spends time in this location.  When it is missing she will be seen but not heard and her natural exuberance will be suppressed.

West                     The West is the corner of the youngest daughter.  Nestled safely between the locations of the mother (Southwest) and father (Northwest) she represents the lake and when this corner is not missing she is well cared for and nurtured.  A missing corner in the West however will not only affect the wellbeing of the youngest daughter it will also impact family harmony.

North                    Your middle son will be adversely affected when the North corner is missing.  This is the area of water and is connected to career and a constant flow of money.  All working members of the family will feel the negative impact if the area is missing.

Northeast           The Northeast relates to the youngest son.  Having a bedroom in this area will help him thrive at school and beyond.  The area of personal growth is important to ensure there is no lack of focus when studying and learning.  This small earth area signifying the mountain will provide solid support when it is present; however when it is missing direction and focus is uncertain.   

Depending on the size of your family missing corners may not have any negative effect; if you only have one son then the East is the important area and the North/Northeast will not have a significant impact.  They will however impact the aspiration associated with those areas.  Missing corners in the Big Tai Chi of your home will always have a negative effect on some aspect of life.  The Small Tai Chi will then take on greater importance.  Determine the aspiration, or aspirations, you seek to achieve and then locate your main door or your living area in that corner of your home.  Your front door will activate positive energy each time it is used and spending lots of time in the living area will activate positive energy and attract positive experiences.  Your personal impact will also play a large part in achieving success, whether it be in finding the job of your dreams, your ideal partner (work or personal) or gaining recognition and receiving acknowledgement for your endeavours.

Feng Shui and Missing Corners-Parents


The Eight Aspirations of Feng Shui are Career (north), Education and Study (northeast), Health and Longevity (east), Wealth (southeast), Fame and Recognition (south), Love and Relationships (southwest), Family (west) and Heaven and Mentor (northwest.)

When a location (corner) relating to an aspiration important to you is missing in the Big Tai Chi of your property the first thing to establish is whether this same location is missing in the Small Tai Chi of your living space.  When the locations are missing in both the Big and the Small Tai Chi it will prove difficult for you to achieve your desires.

Two of the most important locations in the Tai Chi is the Northwest (Heaven and Mentor) and the Southwest (Love and Relationships.)  These are the areas of the heads of the home or in a working environment the areas relating to management, either male (Northwest) or female (Southwest.)

Northwest and Southwest
In the Eight Aspirations the Southwest is the location of relationships in their many forms.  As well as intimate partnerships, it signifies the family bond, friendships with people you care about, your work colleagues, business associates and casual acquaintances.  If the Southwest of your home is missing it makes it difficult for you to activate the very important life skill of harmonious inter-personal associations.  It will make it particularly difficult for females as the Southwest is also the location of the female.  This is usually interpreted as the mother of the house however it just as likely signifies a female in a position of power and authority in the business world.  If you have a missing Southwest in the Big Tai Chi of the home it is important to locate the Southwest of the Small Tai Chi in your living area.  Even if this is not an auspicious location based on your Kua number, in the Eight Aspirations it is significant.

The Northwest is the location of Heaven and Mentor luck; it is also the location of the male.  If there is a missing corner here it will impact significantly on the success of the man of the house.  Achievement may remain just out of reach.  In the corporate world you will lack the support of your superiors and when promotions are there for the taking you will likely be overlooked.  Without the support of a mentor; which can be someone in the family, your bosses or - if you run your own business - like minded individuals who are happy to give you a helping hand, then success will remain elusive.  Again even if this is not an auspicious location based on your Kua number, if you are male and aspire to greatness, it is an area to pay attention to.  If you are an East group person the Northwest will be one of your inauspicious locations.  This means you should not be spending time in the area if you can avoid it.  The most important thing is to ensure it is not a missing corner either in the Big Tai Chi of the home or the Small Tai Chi of the living room.  

The Southwest also relates to Earth; the Northwest to Heaven.  Together they signify male and female; the ultimate Yang and Yin energies; both vital to creating harmony in the home and in a working situation. 

Regardless of your Kua number and your auspicious and inauspicious locations, they are two areas that, when present, can bring harmony and good fortune.  When they are missing, these positive energies may well remain elusive and just out of reach.

To the fulfillment of your dreams

Feng Shui and Missing Corners-Health and Family


The Eight Aspirations of Feng Shui are Career (north), Education and Study (northeast), Health and Longevity (east), Wealth (southeast), Fame and Recognition (south), Love and Relationships (southwest), Family (west) and Heaven and Mentor (northwest.)

When a location (corner) relating to an aspiration important to you is missing in the Big Tai Chi of your property the first thing to establish is whether this same location is missing in the Small Tai Chi of your living space.  When the locations are missing in both the Big and the Small Tai Chi it will prove difficult for you to achieve your desires.

A loving family and a long and healthy life are two of the most sought after desires in Feng Shui practice.  Financial wealth may have a strong pull on the emotions but without your health or someone to share your life, it will be lacking the positive energy necessary to create a happy and fulfilling existence.

West and East
Looking at the Big Tai Chi of your property, and confirming there is a missing corner in the west of your home will make it difficult for you to have children.  Not everyone wants to be a parent it is true however if you do this is an important area to consider.  The west is a small metal area so if it is missing and the layout of  your home is such that you can incorporate a circular design into the missing area; an area that will be used regularly;  you will go a long way to making up for the lack.  As part of your garden design a circular flower bed with plants will recreate a sense of growth and new life in the area.  Or if the west coincides with the main door of your home, having a circular driveway which is often used will bring lots of yang energy into the space.

Earth energy in the west is auspicious so a garden design combining squares and circles will energise the location.  Bring the earth element to bear with natural material seating and tables and either locate them on a circular base or arrange them in a circular fashion.  Use this area often to activate the yang energy necessary to bring the location to life.

In symbolic Feng Shui the elephant with his trunk down is said to attract the luck associated with having a family.  There are many earth element images available.

In your bedroom the west is the place to display pictures of children aplenty. 

Without good health living a long and fulfilling life is difficult.  The location of health is the east, the area of new growth and vitality.  It is the big wood area of the Pa Kua and if it is missing in the overall design of your property good health will be hard to come by.  The east is the location of the eldest son of the family as well as health and longevity.  An abundant and vibrant rectangular flower bed to the east will create growth and new life and as long as the plants are cared for and not allowed to fade their positive energy will bring benefit to the home.  Having a moving water feature will also serve to ‘feed’ the growth element here.  It is important to ensure that the area is used frequently otherwise it will remain a yin and negative area lacking in the yang energy of movement and positive vibrations.

Using the Small Tai Chi of the living space and symbolic Feng Shui, images of the peach, the deer, the crane, bamboo and the pine tree are all associated with longevity and are often displayed together in Chinese paintings.  Depending on your culture and likes and dislikes however opting for something that represents long-life and with which you have a natural affinity will invite positive energy, energy suited to your way of life.

Feng Shui practised correctly will activate positive energy in your life and home and is designed to enhance and improve however, it is not a replacement for caring for yourself and having a lifestyle in keeping with good health.

Feng Shui and Missing Corners-Wealth


The Eight Aspirations of Feng Shui are Career (north), Education and Study (northeast), Health and Longevity (east), Wealth (southeast), Fame and Recognition (south), Love and Relationships (southwest), Family (west) and Heaven and Mentor (northwest.)

When a location (corner) relating to an aspiration important to you is missing in the Big Tai Chi of your property the first thing to establish is whether this same location is missing in the Small Tai Chi of your living space.  When the locations are missing in both the Big and the Small Tai Chi it will prove difficult for you to achieve your desires.

In the eight aspirations formula of Feng Shui, as well as the flow of money generated from your career (north) the southeast is the wealth area connected with an accumulation of wealth; long term wealth.  If this area is missing it will prove difficult to increase the level of family wealth and hold on to it.  The element connected to wealth is water; water is the element of the north and it is the enhancing element for the wood location of the southeast. 

North and Southeast
If you identify the Big Tai Chi of your entire property, including the garden, the north and the southeast are great places to locate water features.  Depending on the space you have available they can be as simple as a small pond.  In the north a decorative water feature made from the metal element will both enhance and activate the area.  If the north of your property or your home is missing then displaying a water feature in the north of the living room will be auspicious.

The north of your living room is always going to be a naturally darker area making attraction more difficult however painting the walls white will incorporate the enhancing element of metal and brighten the space at the same time. 

In the southeast of your garden a pond with plants and fish will create auspicious attraction energy.  Still water is used to absorb negative energy so is not appropriate for the purpose of enhancing for wealth.

If this space is missing in your garden; if you do not have a garden; or if the southeast corner of your house is missing; enhancing the southeast of your living room will activate the energy associated with attracting wealth.
  
Colourful flowers and a water feature suitable for the space you have available will both be auspicious for the area.

The southeast is a naturally lighter and brighter area than the north and painting it blue will calm the intensity of the space and enhance it at the same time.

Whatever wealth means to the individual it makes sense to create a living space that is conducive to attracting a level of wealth in keeping with personal desires and expectations.  

To the fulfillment of your dreams
