Feng Shui and Missing Corners-Children

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.

During their early life your children require only to feel loved and safe.  Keeping them healthy; and having good luck in their studies will cause difficulties for them if there is a missing corner in either the northeast (education and study luck) or in the east (health and longevity.) 

Northeast and East

The northeast is the area in the eight aspirations concerned with education and study luck.  Having your child sitting in this location when studying will help them concentrate.  They can either face the northeast when sitting doing their homework or sit in the northeast facing their Fu Wei (personal growth) direction based on their Kua number.  

The northeast may also benefit from the addition of lights and a fun way of bringing these into the space for your child is with lava or glitter lamps.  These are introducing two of the three Feng Shui enhancing elements of light and movement. 

In the eight aspirations the east of your home is the location connected to health and longevity.  It relates to Yang Wood, tall and straight trees.  It represents growth Qi, a vital component for your child’s healthy development.  Displaying the symbolic image of the mighty Dragon synonymous with the yang energy of the male offspring will bring positive benefits for your child as well as all other members of the family.  The east is the location of the eldest son of the family and it could be advantageous to have his bedroom located in this area if possible.

If your child’s bedroom also serves as their study room it is more beneficial if the two areas can be divided in some way, such as with a chest of drawers or a screen.  The bedroom is predominantly a place of rest and even though children should have more yang than yin elements in their bedroom being constantly reminded of their studies will not necessarily attract the right Qi for rest and rejuvenation.

FENG SHUI and MISSING CORNERS

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.

Depending on your desired aspiration, the rooms you can activate will vary. 

For example, if you have school or college age children you can activate either the northeast corner of the living room or the northeast corner of your child’s bedroom to attract positive expectations for their learning and study.

When health and longevity are important to you either the east of your living, dining or bedroom can be activated.

Fame and recognition are best activated in the living room.

North, South and Southwest

If you aspire to success in your chosen career the areas to concentrate on are the career area of the north, the fame and recognition area of the south and the relationship area of the southwest. 

When the north of your home is missing it will impact on the day-to-day success you achieve in your working life.  This makes it important to be able to activate the Small Tai Chi of your living space.  The element associated with the north is water and a water feature with an inward flow of water displayed in the living room will activate the area.  You can also paint the area blue or white (the white of metal will enhance the north based on the productive cycle of the Five Elements.)

The area of fame and recognition is important to activate for career success as without recognition in your working life you are unlikely to attract the attention of your superiors and promotion may well pass you by.  When you run your own business this area is particularly important to get your name, and your Company’s name known to your chosen market.  Decorate and enhance the south of your living room with the red of the area or the enhancing colour of green which belongs to the wood element (wood enhances fire.)  Red is a vibrant colour which can become ‘dangerous’ if used to excess, so be sure it is not overwhelming and symbolically ‘burning’ your aspiration.  Lights belong to the fire element and can be used as an alternative to the colour red. 

The southwest is the relationship area.  In your career it is important to cultivate positive relationships with your colleagues and superiors otherwise your career may stagnate and go nowhere and you will be unhappy in your working life.  Enhancing the living area with the fire colours of the south, with lights, as well as smooth round natural crystals will bring definite benefits in all your relationships.

FENG SHUI and MISSING CORNERS

In Feng Shui regular shapes such as rectangle (which signifies growth) or square (which indicates a solid stable base) are more auspicious than irregular shapes with lots of sharp edges and missing corners.

 

Whether your house is one level, two-storey, or a three-storey town house knowing its overall shape is an important step in establishing its good and bad points.

The big Tai Chi of your home is the entire square footage however each level is studied separately.

Your ground floor is most likely to have an irregular shape if you have had an extension built; if you have built a porch or a conservatory built.  Any additional structure that has a roof and is attached to your main home is considered a part of the home.

Missing corners* are often the result of extensions and knowing their compass location is important if you are to positively enhance your home.

*There is some disagreement as to what constitutes a ‘missing’ corner.  Generally when superimposing the Lo-Shu Grid over the entire floor plan of each level if there is an entire sector missing, or if a cut-out section covers more than one sector of the grid, it is said to be missing.

The Eight Aspirations Formula of Feng Shui divides the four primary and the four secondary sectors around the compass.  Whilst not part of classical Feng Shui such as Landscape Formula or Flying Stars, it has been incorporated into the mainstream practice as part of Neo (or new) Feng Shui for the Modern World.   It takes account of desires and ambitions identified as important for the living of a full and abundant life.

The Eight Aspirations 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.)

Take accurate compass directions to identify the facing and sitting directions of your home.  This is part of the Kua (Eight Mansions or Eight Palaces) Formula.  The next step is to draw a separate floor plan for each level of your home and superimpose the Lo-Shu Grid over it to highlight any potential missing corners.

Missing corners in the Big Tai Chi means you will be unable to activate these areas for the aspiration associated with it.  However the alternative is to activate the Small Tai Chi of one of your major rooms such as the living room, dining room or bedroom depending on the aspiration you desire.

House hunting is a very good time to consider the shape of a house.  When you look at the written details and view a property for the first time, have a look at the external surroundings to establish whether there are any poison arrows pointing towards the front door.  Establish if there is a bright hall both outside and immediately inside the front door.  Then look around the outside of the property to see if it is fairly regular in shape. Prevention is better than cure so beginning from a positive viewpoint will benefit you in both the short and the long term.

Next time we will look at the various compass locations and the effect missing corners can have on each of the Eight Aspirations.

Feng Shui and the Lo-Shu Grid 7-9

Continuing on with numbers and elements around the compass from seven to nine.

Remember all odd numbers represent yang energies and all even numbers represent yin energies even when the area itself may be the opposite. 

When energising locations around the compass you can be imaginative when using symbolic Feng Shui.  Use the number of the area to decide the number of enhancers you place there.  For example; 1 water feature, 2 crystal hearts, 3 plants.  Whether you live in a traditional, modern or contemporary home; whether you like lots of trinkets on display or a minimalist design you can still incorporate symbolic enhancements for each area with careful thought and planning.  These do not have to be oriental, they can be western symbols associated with each aspiration.  

  

Number Seven (7) – The number of the west and the youngest daughter (Tui) this is the small metal area.  The number 7 Red Star in the practice of Flying Star Feng Shui is currently an inauspicious number connected to violence and robbery; anything connected with metal.  However, particularly in the western world it is historically a lucky number.  It is also a lucky number for anyone who has it as their Kua number.  7 is said to be a number relating to wisdom.  Seeing it on a regular basis is an indication that you should be focusing on your goals and not be diverted from your ultimate aim.  Doing this will ensure you will succeed.  The west is also the area relating to the family, to descendants luck.  

Number Eight (8) – The auspicious number 8 is an indicator of wealth and prosperity coming in to the home when it is correctly enhanced.  Its location is the small earth area of the northeast, the area of Ken (the youngest son of the family.)  It is the education and study luck location.  Because of its similarity with the infinity symbol, or interlinking rings, the number 8 is a cyclical number indicating a recurrence of positive experiences.  It will also bring good fortune to the youngest son of the home as well as any member of the family undertaking further education or learning of any kind in college, university or in a work situation.  

Number Nine (9) – Nine is a number which signifies completion.  It is a magnifying number and this suggests that a double 9 will multiply the good fortune associated with this auspicious number.  Its home is the south, a part of the home that represents fame and recognition.  It is the area of the middle daughter (Li) and when properly enhanced the south will bring good fortune to all the family but more specifically, the daughters, the females of the family.  When the number 9 appears on a regular basis it is an indicator to be confident in your ventures with assurance of their ultimate success.  The fire element is associated with the south as is the majestic horse. You can also introduce plants into the area to feed the fire of success.  Take care of this important number, a number that can neither be destroyed or changed to bring your desires to ultimate fruition.
