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.
