Four cardinal directions
The Azure Dragon (青龙) is design to the left (East), the Vermilion Bird (朱雀) is facing the front (South), the White Tiger (白虎) is design to the right (West) and Black Turtle (玄武) is located at the back (North). These creatures are considered celestial guardians and are part of the four fengshui guardians assigned to each of the four cardinal directions.
Direction Guidance
The purpose of incorporating Fengshui into our homes is to attract Ch'i and to raise positive energy levels. The Chinese have utilized this in the construction of large buildings and homes, aligning the corners of the structures with the corresponding directions of the four cardinal directions--north, south, east, and west. The ancient Chinese tended to build their homes according to the directions and meaning of each. While the location of Gouchen (勾陈位) is burial spot according to Fengshui.
Azure Dragon
It represents both east and the spring; Unlike in western mythology, the dragon is rarely depicted as a malevolent force but generally considered to be both benevolent and auspicious. It is also often associated with the emperor and therefore linked to the Vermilion Bird (朱雀), whose own association is with the empress. The dragon is associated with the element wood.
White Tiger
It represents the west and the autumn; The tiger is often seen as a protector and was thought to guard over the armies of the emperor and protect the spirits of the dead. It is associated with the element metal.
Vermilion Bird
It represents the south and the summer; The bird is sometimes seen as a phoenix and associated with good fortune. It is also often paired with the dragon. It is associated with the element fire.
Black Turtle
It represents both north and the winter; A symbol of longevity, the turtle of the north is often depicted together with a snake. The union of these two creatures was thought to have created the earth. It is also associated with the element water.
Wu wang
In protective feng shui, most importantly, you should know the location of annual star 5. This is because the annual star 5 is currently the most evil star, and you should not disturb it. The annual visiting star number 5 of flying star Feng Shui is known as the Five Yellow. It is also known as Wu Wang in Chinese. Wu Wang is an earth element affliction. When it is disturbed, it brings financial loss, obstacles to success and obstacles in relationship, severe illness and accidents.
Missing Wealth Corner
It will casued you sink into financial problem. And You have a hard time trying to save money and have great wealth and assets if triggered.
Death Corner
The foot of the bed should NOT face the door because this is how the Chinese line up coffins for burial. It is considered to be the death corner. It also should not face a mirror of a bureau. Because Mirrors are powerful repellent for negative energy and poison arrows.
Health Corner
The life area connected to the East bagua area of your home is called Health Corner (延年位). It is recommended to always express, at least in some of your East feng shui cures , the energy to support your health on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual; as well as a harmonious quality of energy to maintain peace in the family.
Sharp Corner
These corners that are pointing directly towards the bed/sofa send out poison arrows. Most commonly, we find that sharp edges of furniture or beams, or wall corners that jut into the room, will direct a piercing, stabbing type of energy, aimed directly at the sleeper.
Ferocious White Tiger
On the other hand implies bloodshed, mishaps, injuries and accidents.
Five Ghosts Corners
These energies generate the kind of mischief that leads to fire, loss of income, and burglary. It also causes quarrels and misunderstanding at home and at work. Avoid placing the stove here or cures will have to be implemented.
Wealth Corner
Your home does have a feng shui wealth corner. When you energise it correctly it can help you pile up wealth, assets and lots of properties. And certainly your wealth corner is NOT in far right section of your home. Infact feng shui wealth corners are present in every room of your home and also in your gardens. You can use this wealth corner to attract piles of cash into your bank account.
When business falls away, stock market drops or you loose your investment you may feel helpless. And you may feel you have no invisible means of support. But when you take care of your wealth corner you will always have plenty and some to spare. You donot have to strive or slave hard. You can do what you love and what you enjoy and yet make fabulous sum of money.
Six Killings Corners
Such as jiansha (arrow evil) or qiansha (dagger evil).These corners are suggested to cause harm to your current relationships whether at home, work or social. It can also bring you bodily harm involving robberies, surgeries and accidents. It attracts legal entanglementss, examples: lawsuits, embezzlement and divorces. Besides, it also represents scandals, missed opportunities, legal entanglements and illnesses. Persons under this influence may experience fitful sleep, lack of focus, lethargy in their everyday being and may even become alcoholic. A bathroom or storeroom placed in this sector will suppress its negative effects.
Three Unities
Three Combinations or Three Unities, refers to a major traditional school of feng shui and also concepts of Four Pillars. The entire theory of the San He School is based on the four sets of triangular combinations known as Frames. The Six Harmonies, also known as the Internal Combinations, come about during a 10-year cycle ( Luck Pillars ) or during a particular year ( Annual Pillars).
