FENG SHUI - QIAN and KUN

Let us take a look at each trigram individually to find out more about them.
QIAN ()
Qian represents the ultimate Yang.  This Gua consists of three solid lines signifying strength.
In the Early Heaven Arrangement this Gua was placed in the South, the location of fire and midsummer, the hottest and most Yang time of the year.
Under the Later Heaven Arrangement this was moved to the Northwest to take account of the cyclical nature of the Universe.  Qian is Heaven, the sky.  Its Gua number is 6.  It signifies the male in a position of authority, exerting power and dominance over others, whether it is the leader of a country, company chairmen, business owners, the father or oldest male in a family.  In the animal kingdom Qian is the lion, elephant, the horse; strong and powerful creatures.
The element of Qian is strong Metal, hard and unyielding and its associated season is late Autumn.  This is the time of year when the ground hardens and there is little growth.  Metal is a sharp, piercing element yet its shape is round, signifying no beginning and no end.  The colours of this Gua are white (the colour that encompasses all others), silver and gold. 
The head and brain are part of Qian Gua.  If there is a missing Northwest corner in a property, or a negative feature, such as a lamppost, pointing towards the Northwest corner they will have a negative impact on the male particularly related to the head.
KUN ()
Kun is the Yin as Qian is the Yang.  They represent male and female; mother and father.  Kun Gua consists of three broken lines which identifies the yielding nature of this feminine trigram.
In the Early Heaven Arrangement this Gua sat directly opposite Qian in the North, the location of water and midwinter; the coldest and most Yin time of the year.   
The Later Heaven Arrangement sees Kun in the Southwest, the Earth element location; the area that signifies nurturing and caring by the mother or the eldest female in a family.  Its Gua number is 2. 
Qian is the creative; Kun is the receptive.   The location of Kun is the area of late Summer.  It is the transition point of the seasons when the earth begins to cool.  Earth is represented by the square, a solid and stable shape that is favoured as the best for homes.  The colours of Earth are yellow, ochre and brown.
The stomach and the flesh are part of Kun Gua.  If there is a missing Southwest corner in a property, or a negative feature, such as a single tree, pointing towards the Southwest corner these will have a negative impact on the female head of the family.  Stomach and flesh related issues can result from negative features in the immediate environment.
