Keep in mind that while
the House and Personal Trigrams and the significance of the directions
are important Feng Shui considerations, the more specific energies
that interact with time and space as determined by the ADVANCED
FENG SHUI: XUAN KONG method take precedence and override the following:
A
(Prosperity or Sheng Qi/Vitality) Direction –
Life, Energy, Prosperity, Wealth & Respectability.
This
is the best location for creating wealth and bringing prosperity to
the home. The front door, master bedroom, study or any room associated
with your work are best situated here. Keep it clean, clear and well
lit.
"This
direction brings progress, promotion, wealth, and vitality; good for
the front door, the kitchen door, an office, or desk". ~

Chinese text says this is an area where you can seek children (as well
as wealth)." ~ Lorraine

This
area of your house or room brings good health. It is the best area for
dining rooms and for bedrooms of family members who may be unwell.

auspicious benefits to your home and family.

dining room, and doors." ~ SYWUSFS

"The
same direction the back of the house faces; a good side of the house
for bedrooms and doors." ~

the toilet, pantry, or storage area." ~ SYWUSFS

of the English saying, 'I felt like the rug was pulled out from under
me.' This describes a life-shattering experience, and the huo hai
change is a picture of this expression." ~ Lorraine
