Many times, we buy some decorative items for our home, such as feng shui fountains, fish tanks, large sculptures. These items often possess a lot of feng shui energy and cann't be placed randomly. Placing them in appropriate positions can adjust the feng shui of the entire household. In previous articles, we discussed general recommendations for the placement of feng shui items, but we did not explore the auspicious and inauspicious positions within the home. Today, our topic is identifying the auspicious and inauspicious positions in the home, and then making simple arrangements and adjustments in those positions, which can greatly help prosper the family's fortune.
fengshui fountain is a fengshui device that contains much energy,usually we should put it in the unauspicious to help us suppress or absorb negative energy.
Before that, let's understand in ancient, Chinese scholars conducted in-depth research on this and summarized profound theories, which were recorded in books. Let's not delve into the reasons behind this, but simply look at the results of the ancient research:
According to the classification of Bagua, there are two types of residential types: 'East Four Residences' and 'West Four Residences'.
East Four Residences are:
Zhen Residence (Sitting east facing west), Li Residence (Sitting south facing north), Xun Residence (Sitting southeast facing northwest), Kan Residence (sitting north Facing south).
West Four Residences are:
Qian Residence (Sitting northwest facing southeast), Dui Residence (Sitting west facing east), Gen Residence (Sitting northeast facing southwest), Kun Residence (Sitting southwest facing northeast).
For example, for a house where the main door faces west, it belongs to Zhen Residence. Note that we determine the orientation based on the position of the main door, whether it's a detached house or an apartment. The main door is the frequent entry and exit point, so it is the true mouth for absorbing qi.
Below are layouts for the eight types of houses, including auspicious and inauspicious directions. By comparing these diagrams with your home's layout, you can gain a clearer understanding. Therefore, first clarify the orientation of your main door and then compare it with the diagrams to determine the type of residence.
Explanation for the 4 auspicious positions and 4 unauspicious positions:
Four Auspicious Positions
Sheng Qi (Life Generating): Sheng Qi is the first auspicious position in the study of Eight Residences Feng Shui. It symbolizes vigor, positivity, vitality, and a bright future. This position is closely related to the prosperity of the family and the growth of offspring. In feng shui, it is considered important for wealth accumulation, career development, and fertility. It is suitable for the residence of the head of the household, and also beneficial for the main entrance or rooms and kitchens in this position. However, it should not encounter sha qi (harmful energy) or contamination, as it could hinder career, financial luck, and marital harmony. If it's a bathroom, it should be kept clean and well-ventilated daily.
Yan Nian (Longevity): This position is associated with emotions and marriage. In feng shui, it is considered crucial for seeking marital happiness. Proper feng shui in this position can enhance longevity and health. Rooms, doors, and stoves facing this direction promote longevity and health. Like Sheng Qi, it should avoid sha qi or contamination to prevent emotional disputes and marital issues.
Tian Yi (Heavenly Doctor): Tian Yi promotes stability and is beneficial for health and wealth. It is considered important for healing and removing disasters. Proper arrangements in this position can benefit those who are weak or chronically ill. Avoiding sha qi and contamination is crucial here to prevent illnesses or financial losses.
Fu Wei ：The aura of Fuwei is smooth and stable, which means wealth, longevity, and steady progress.，which is best for people with poor sleep. If you arrange this direction well, you will be smooth and happy, and there will be few twists and turns in life. Among the four auspicious, Fuwei has the weakest power, If you make Feng Shui layout and seek pregnancy in this direction, the chance of having a girl is much greater than that of a boy. But please note that if there are people doing business in the family, it is not advisable to choose this position for the door of the house.However, it should not face sha qi or contamination to avoid disasters. Keep this area clean and tidy, especially if it's a bathroom.
Four Inauspicious Positions
Jue Ming (Life Dead)：Jue Ming is the most ominous direction, which has strong destructive and self-destructive power. It is easy to cause mental illness due to sadness and depression, which is also bad for the health of family members, making people sad, depressed, restless, poor interpersonal relationships, often not going smoothly, and easily misunderstood by others. This direction is known as the death, and the aura is ominous, Avoid placing main doors, stoves, or beds in this direction to prevent negative impacts on the family's fortune, otherwise it will have a great negative impact on the family fortune. This direction can be used as a bathroom. If your study or bedroom is already in this position, you can put aquatic plants or fengshui fountain,fish tank . In addition, the five emperors' coins and natural gourds can also be resolved.
Wu Gui (Five Ghosts):aura is very fierce. Although it ranks after the jue ming, its fierceness should not be underestimated. If the house gets the wu gui, it will make people irritable, difficult to get along with others, often quarreling with friends and even relatives, difficult to accomplish things, and easy to cause bad things such as lawsuit and disasters. This direction can be used as a toilet, a sundries warehouse, or a large plant. If the bedroom and study are inevitably in this position, you can hang five emperors' coins or place consecrated items such as copper gourds and swords to help resolve it.
Liu Sha (Six Harms)： The chaotic energy of the Liu Sha flows downward and is messy. The aura of this direction will be destructive to emotional marriage, career fortune, interpersonal relationships, health and other aspects. If the house is affected by Liu Sha, the people living in it will be listless, depressed, unable to think clearly, often make mistakes, dare not face reality, easily cause gossip, or lose property. It also has adverse effects on health, such as neurasthenia caused by poor sleep. This position has heavy negative energy, which can be resolved by consecrated five emperors' coins and gourds, or large items such as cabinets can be placed. Don't have computers, stereos, and televisions in this position. If there is really no way to change it, you can buy a thorny cactus and put it here to resolve the evil spirit. sticking talismans to dispel evil spirits are also OK.
Huo Hai (Calamity):this direction has the power to affect people's mood, making people depressed when encountering things, lacking the spirit of striving for ahead, or often being troubled by some small things, making them tired, and even affecting their physical health. If the house is affected by the aura of Huo Hai, it will be bad for the emotions and psychology of the family members. You can place a copper unicorn in this direction to resolve the Huo Hai . If the main door is unfortunately located in this direction, suppress the adverse effects with Five Emperors' coins above the door.
Many of the sha qi mentioned above are external, such as building reflections, power generation piles, signal towers, sharp-angled buildings, etc., which happen to be aimed at your lucky position, and there happens to be windows or doors in the auspicious, then you have to use some evil-removing items to hang on the wall or some fengshui device like fengshui fountain to block the evil spirit
If you find that your house is not in the best Feng Shui condition, there's no need to worry excessively. Feng Shui principles provide only auxiliary guidance. The most important thing is to be a person of integrity and kindness. Such individuals are truly blessed; they can live peacefully and auspiciously even in places considered less favorable in Feng Shui terms.
