A person will be able to control his life force (Qi) if he correctly places objects in the surrounding space. And this applies not only to furniture and household items. Workplaces, rooms in an apartment, houses, plots of land, etc. must be located in a certain way. To do everything as expected, you need to know the rules of Chinese geomancy. By activating the feng shui sectors, you will not only create a favorable atmosphere in your home, but you will be able to give harmony to your life. Today we will talk about what needs to be done for this.

Feng Shui sectors - location features

Before getting down to business, it is necessary to determine the map of the Feng Shui sectors of the apartment. If you find out a description of all the energy zones of your home, you will be able to understand which of them needs to be activated first. It depends on your priorities, on what you need more at the moment: luck, happiness, wealth or something else.

1. Career, life path – NORTH.

The main element of the North is Water, the nourishing element is Metal. To activate the northern sector of feng shui, you need white, blue, indigo and black.

According to Feng Shui, the Career sector is responsible for how you earn money. Thanks to it, you can see the direction of your life path and determine the goals you are striving for. If the chosen activity completely suits you, and your work enthusiasm simply overwhelms you, then everything is in order. Otherwise, you should think about changes in the northern sector of the house.

1. Relationships and love - SOUTHWEST.

The main element of the southwestern sector of feng shui is Earth, the nourishing element is Fire. Activating colors are red, pink and all shades of brown.

The name of the sector of love and relationships, designed according to Feng Shui, speaks for itself. A person’s connection with family and friends depends on the functioning of this zone. Single people should take care of this location first. The same should be done for those who have problems in the family. You can activate the marriage sector according to Feng Shui using paired things: two candles, vases, etc.

1. Family – EAST.

The main and nourishing elements are Wood and Water. The Feng Shui sector is activated by the colors brown, green, blue and black. You can also add a little red.

If the eastern sector is in order according to Feng Shui, then there will be no problems in your relationships with children, parents and other relatives. When there are disagreements in the family, something is wrong, and the Feng Shui sector needs to be activated. Fresh flowers are good for this.

1. Wealth - SOUTH-EAST.

In the southeastern sector, according to Feng Shui, the main and feeding elements are the same as in the previous case. But the colors for activation are different. Lilac, green, violet and again a little red are suitable here.

According to Feng Shui, your financial situation in your apartment is directly related to the Wealth sector. When the zone is activated, wealth and prosperity reign in the family. If the Feng Shui sector has uncleaned rubble, it is in complete disarray, then you will be haunted by financial failures. To make geofencing work, use a fish tank or water fountain. Flowers with round leaves can also help with activation. By the way, according to Feng Shui, the money sector is responsible not only for wealth, but also for your inner perception of the world. The order in the geofence directly determines how happy and satisfied with life you feel.

1. Health – Center.

The Feng Shui colors of this sector are beige and yellow, orange and terracotta. The main and nourishing elements are Earth and Fire.

This feng shui sector is responsible for health in the broadest sense of the word. The zone controls how quickly your strength is restored and how you feel in general. Also, the central location, uniting all sectors around itself, affects their health too. If there is disorder in the Center, this will certainly have a negative impact on the surrounding areas - and therefore on many aspects of your life. On the other hand, it is worth activating this feng shui sector, so positive vital energy will spread around and “correct” all other zones in the home.

1. Helpers and travel – NORTHWEST.

The main element of the northwestern sector according to Feng Shui is Metal, the nourishing element is Earth. The following colors activate the zone: gray, white and silver, yellow and golden.

This feng shui sector has many “responsibilities”. The support of friends at those moments when it is needed depends on his good work. It gives us the opportunity to meet spiritual mentors and patrons. Responsible for intuition and, of course, travel. If you are going through a difficult moment in your life and have absolutely no one to turn to for help, you should immediately start putting this feng shui sector in order.

1. Creativity and children - WEST.

The main and feeding elements of the Western sector of Feng Shui are similar to the previous ones. The same applies to activation colors.

The zone is associated with your free time and outdoor activities. Self-expression through sports or art, raising children and relationships with them depend on this sector of feng shui. You should pay attention to the zone if you have problems conceiving a child. Setting goals in life, their implementation, fulfillment of desires - all this is also directly related to this sector of Feng Shui.

1. Knowledge and wisdom - NORTHEAST.

According to Feng Shui, the main and nourishing elements of the northeastern sector are, respectively, Earth and Fire. Activating colors – orange, yellow, beige, terracotta.

Your success in understanding the world and your ability to gain experience depend on this zone. When this sector of the house is in order according to Feng Shui, there are no problems with studying. If you do yoga or meditation, there is no better place in the apartment for this.

1. Glory and aspiration - SOUTH.

The feng shui colors of the southern sector are red and green. The main element is Fire, the nourishing element is Wood.

A lot depends on the correct design of the Glory sector according to Feng Shui. In particular, your social status, ways to succeed in life. Your aspirations and desires are directly related to the zone. If you activate this feng shui sector, you will receive inspiration and clarity of vision, spiritual awareness and high appreciation of your activities by the people around you. Diplomas and awards you receive can act as sector activators.

Feng Shui colors according to the theory of generation of 5 elements

Carefully read the picture presented and apply it in practice. The cycle of generation of the five elements can be perfectly used to attract good luck, health and wealth.

As already mentioned, colors are associated with the doctrine of the 5 elements. An important role is played by the relationship between yin and yang, as well as 5 types of energies - elements. These are, as you know, Fire, Earth, Wood, Metal, Water. They do not exist on their own, but constantly interact. Therefore, the application of colors is based on this interaction. The Circle of Generation is of particular importance for this:

1. Water gives birth to a Tree (nourishes it).
2. Wood generates Fire (when wood burns, it gives power to fire).
3. Fire gives birth to Earth (ashes become earth).
4. The earth gives birth to Metal (metal is extracted from the earth).
5. Metal gives birth to water (molten metal is liquid).

How to determine feng shui sectors in an apartment

Activating the feng shui sectors will allow you to improve your life. But first, these zones need to be found.

How to do it? Many masters of this technique like to indulge in vague explanations, from which one thing becomes clear: an ordinary person would never be able to cope with this, and therefore they need to prepare money. In fact, everything is not as complicated as Feng Shui experts like to say. There are three approaches to finding sectors, and now we will look at each of them.

Method 1: Bagua

The Bagua Octagon is a specially created tool with which you can evaluate the energy of any room or space.

The Bagua is made in the form of an energy map, divided into a center and eight zones. Nine sectors of Feng Shui - nine descriptions of various aspects of human life.

This method is considered by many experts to be the simplest for determining the location of sectors in a house.

To get started, get a similar grid diagram or make it yourself. After this, draw on paper the plan of your apartment - with all the details, without missing a single room with the exception of balconies and loggias. The scale of the plan must match the scale of the Bagua octagon.

Determine the side of the world that your windows face. The grid diagram must be superimposed on the apartment plan in a mirror image. For example, if your windows are on the western side, place the octagon so that the Feng Shui sector with the image of the East coincides with the western windows. All the necessary zones in the apartment have been identified.

The Lo Shu magic square also has nine feng shui sectors and is also designed to assess the energy of a room.

According to one legend, a divine turtle crawled out of the Lo River four thousand years ago. On her shell were numbers depicted, the order of which subsequently formed the basis of each Feng Shui formula.

Representatives of different feng shui schools use different methods to determine sectors. The results of using the techniques are practically the same, with the exception of small nuances. If we talk about the convenience of tools, then the Lo Shu square is more suitable for beginners, since purely geometrically it is better compatible with the home plan, and the Feng Shui sectors will be easier to determine.

The Lo-Shu square allows you to evaluate not only the energy of the premises, but also other spaces: for example, a personal plot. Just as in the case of Bagua, find or make a plan of your house, apartment, office, etc. Then, standing with your back to the front door, use a tourist compass to orient yourself to the cardinal directions. To eliminate possible interference from iron structures, take a step forward from the door and repeat the measurement. Coinciding data will indicate that everything is normal. Otherwise, you need to try to understand where exactly the interference is coming from and determine the cardinal directions at some distance from the source. The first stage of marking out the Feng Shui sectors has now been completed.

Feng Shui practice states that only in square or rectangular shaped houses can life energy be evenly distributed. If you live in just such a house, then it is very easy to combine its plan and the Lo-Shu square. But to correctly determine the Feng Shui sectors on the diagram, you need to cut off all unnecessary things with straight lines along the load-bearing walls: balconies, loggias, ledges, etc. Depending on the shape of the building, you should end up with a square or rectangle. Whatever figure you get, divide it into 9 feng shui sectors of equal size. All that remains is to indicate the cardinal directions in the drawing.

Some houses or apartments have an irregular shape - for example, they resemble the letter “G”. In this case, complete the diagram (also along load-bearing walls) to a square or rectangle.

That’s it, the energy map of the house is ready, and now with its help, through the Feng Shui sectors, you have the opportunity to influence various aspects of your life.

Method 2: compass and protractor

For people who love absolute accuracy in everything, another method of calculating Feng Shui sectors is more suitable. To accurately determine which side of the world your windows face, you need to have special measuring instruments on hand.

However, the first stage of work will be exactly the same: you need to draw and cut out a detailed diagram of your apartment along the contour. After this, you need to determine the center of the picture. You can do this as follows. Sharpen the pencil as sharply as possible, place it with the lead facing up and place a piece of paper with a drawing on it. Look for your center of balance. As soon as you ensure that the paper does not fall from the pencil, the job is done, the Feng Shui sectors have been determined. Don't forget to mark the point you found.

Now take the compass. Find a place in the apartment where there will be no interference from a computer, TV, microwave, etc. Decide on the cardinal directions.

If you are not sure of the accuracy of the measurements, they can be repeated outside. The only thing is, don’t accidentally stand under the wires: it’s unlikely that in this case the compass will be able to show you the correct data.

Once the exact location of the cardinal points has been determined, mark them on your plan. But don’t forget about the rule of mirror reflection: replace real south with north, and east with west. Now, probably, no one will be able to say exactly why Chinese Feng Shui masters shifted the cardinal directions in the Bagua diagram in this way. But there were probably some reasons for this.

Next, divide the apartment plan into eight feng shui sectors, each of which will be equal to 45 degrees. To do this, the center of the protractor needs to be aligned with the central point on your diagram. The production of the energy map is completed.

Method 3: from corner to corner

All of the methods listed above require some effort and a waste of time. This method practically does not require either one or the other. It is based on the orientation of the corners of the room in which you are going to calculate the Feng Shui sectors. However, no matter how simple this technique may seem, it is no less accurate than all the previous ones.

Stand with your back to the entrance door to the apartment. Remember or write down:

• according to Feng Shui, the career zone is located behind you and includes the middle of the wall along with the door;
• the zone of fame and self-realization is exactly the opposite;
• the feng shui sector of wisdom and knowledge is in the near left corner;
• the sector of assistants and travel is in the near right;
• according to Feng Shui, the wealth and money sector is located in the far left corner of the room;
• the zone of love and marriage is on the far right;
• the feng shui sector responsible for family and health is located in the center of the left side of the room;
• the zone for children and creativity is in the center of the right side.

The three listed methods for determining energy are effective not only for the entire house or apartment, but also work with a single room.

For those who want to get pregnant faster

The use of the image of a crane with a peach fruit is considered analogous to the Slavic stork bringing children. Therefore, it would be nice to have it in the western sector for those who are engaged in issues of planning and replenishing the family. The symbols of peas and pomegranate are considered a sign of fertility. They also need to be placed here.

The use of stones that enhance fertility and promote conception and birth of a child is also welcomed in the western zone. Such stones are rock crystal, emerald, amethyst, diamond, garnet, lapis lazuli, malachite, topaz, jasper, and amber. The use of stones is very individual. It is better to use those that you trust more and give purely personal preference.

Activating the western zone of children according to Feng Shui, using personal beneficial directions for the child will help him successfully develop and grow healthy, confident and calm and ensures that your little children will remain a loving part of the family over time. In a home with pure and favorable energy, there are no difficult and disobedient children.

Feng Shui sectors and Gua number

The Gua number is determined for each person personally and depends on the year of birth. If you calculate your Gua number, you will be able to understand which areas are worth working on and which are better left alone. Of the eight sectors of Feng Shui, one half is favorable for humans, the other is not. Such knowledge will not only help you create a better life, but will also help you avoid possible troubles.

Calculating the Gua number is not difficult. The main thing is to know the rules of calculations.

First. For women and men born before 2000, the calculation is made using the same system. For girls and boys whose birthday is after 2000, it’s different.

Second. Our lunar calendar does not coincide with the Chinese one. In the latter, the date of the new year varies from January 21 to February 20. A person born before February 20, in order not to make mistakes in calculations, must first check the Chinese calendar. If the date of the new year in the Middle Kingdom is later than the date of its birth, then the initial year will be the previous one - the one before January 1.

Let's give an example. Let's say you were born on January 27, 1986. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the New Year was on February 7th of that year. It turns out that to correctly calculate the Gua number you need to start from 1985.

Calculating the Gua number is simple and clear , but in order for the number to be correct in the end, you need to try to concentrate. If you make a mistake even just a little, you can completely wrongly choose favorable feng shui sectors for yourself. The calculation formulas are as follows:

• If a man was born before 2000, you need to add the last two digits of the year of birth. Ultimately, you should get one number, so if you add two digits, add its two digits again. the resulting number from 10.
• If we are talking about a woman, do the same, only add the number 5 to the final number.

People who were born in 2000 or later must calculate their Gua number using a different formula.

• Girls add not 5, but 6 to the final number.
• The boys subtract the final number from 9 . There is one caveat here. The Gua number cannot be zero. Therefore, if a boy was born in 2009 or born in 2021, Gua is defined as 9.

Important points

• Gua number 5 does not exist! If this is exactly what you get when counting, then the “male” number will be 2 , and the “female” number will be 8 .
• The Gua number divides all people into two groups: eastern and western. Each group has 4 favorable directions, and the same number - no.
• 1, 3, 4, 9 – numbers of the eastern group. They correspond to certain cardinal directions and mean that east, southeast, north, south are good for people with such Gua numbers .
• 2, 6, 7 or 8 are numbers from the Western group. West, northwest, southwest, northeast are suitable for people with similar Gua numbers

It turns out that the Feng Shui sectors and Gua numbers are inextricably linked.

Northeast color values ​​according to Chinese wisdom

Each color in Feng Shui has its own meaning and historical roots of the origin of its use in practice. This also applies to the northeast.

1. Yellow. The Chinese believe in a legend that says culture and wisdom came to the country with the Yellow Emperor. The color is considered a symbol of power, because gold has the same shade. Representing the Earth, the color in the eastern country is considered the life-giving force of natural space. In the feng shui spectrum, this color is considered a symbol of the sun. Stimulates creative work and enlivens conversation.
2. Brown color. Instills confidence in the future and counteracts stress. But an excess of color on the walls suppresses the human psyche. This must be remembered when choosing wallpaper and furniture color. It is better to use light shades.
3. Orange color. Feng Shui means the joy of communication. Promotes tolerance and kindness. It is an incentive to start a new business and drives away a melancholy mood.
4. Beige color. Considered a classic shade. It emanates comfort, warmth, and brings harmony to the house. However, an overabundance of color makes you sad and brings up sad thoughts. At one time it was revered in India, and in Egypt in ancient times the color was used to cover figurines. He was given divine power. And in the 18th century it was used in architecture and sculpture. Some artists used beige instead of white.

Colors in Feng Shui are very significant, but everyone must first activate the main sector that supports.
