5 CRITICAL WEALTH CORNERS


Feng Shui's Five Critical Wealth Corners 
The southeast is the corner most often associated with wealth in feng shui. This is the primary wealth sector in any home. But did you know there are other wealth corners that you could be overlooking that are also critical to your prosperity?

When each is activated and enhanced, you have compounding feng shui that benefits everyone in the family in a variety of ways.


For instance, did you know there are different kinds of abundance and wealth? There is generating money, like you get from your job such as a salary, there is accumulated wealth, the kind you have in the bank or investments, and there is depleting wealth which is the kind of money associated with bills and demands.


Only applying effort and enhancements to the southeast wealth corner is short-sighted. Thorough feng shui takes into account energizing all of the corners for the various ways you can earn money - through associates and benefactors, to your career and business opportunities, from good relationships with others, and from good returns on investments you have.


There are other wealth-influencing considerations besides these, such as the front door area, but when I go to a feng shui consultation, these are the top five sectors I examine to get a good picture of the monetary health of the household. Happy energizing!


Primary wealth location
1. Southeast/Wealth  -- Accumulated wealth sector (savings, stocks, possessions)
If you have a bedroom, dining room, front door, bedroom or office in the southeast, count yourself lucky! Be sure to activate it with water or according to the annual feng shui. This sector is most associated with accumulated wealth rather than earning ability through a job, for example.
Problems in this sector would arise as difficulty to accumulate and generate wealth. Money will fly in and out of the house. Problems with expenses continue and seem to occur non-stop. There is an inability to make your investments pay off or the ability to gain financial traction.

Afflictions to this sector include: Annual afflictions, bathrooms, fireplace, toilets, laundry rooms and kitchens in this area or a missing corner. The most serious of the afflictions include a fireplace and kitchen in this location.
Enhancements for 2011: Add stones, crystals and earth elements to support the metal energy here this year.

Secondary wealth locations
2. North/Career Sector -- Generating wealth sector (career, business, paycheck)
Problems in this area create problems at work. You are unable to generate interest in your job and your workplace is difficult. You may find that you are unable to get recognition for your position or the work you do. A boss may disregard you or be difficult. Others will be selected for positions over you even if you are more experienced or talented.

Difficulties in this area will present themselves as stagnant income growth and business opportunities. If job hunting, positions will be hard to find.

Afflictions to this sector include: Annual afflictions, bathrooms, fireplace, toilets, laundry rooms, trees, plants, large wood objects and kitchens in this area or a missing corner.
Enhancements for 2011:  There are tense words and gossip at work, news is difficult. To offset this, add red colors, triangle shapes and candles or extra lighting. A red dragon amulet can also help.

3. Northwest/Helpful People, Patriarch Sector -- Wealth of people who help youThis is a very important sector in feng shui. This is the ultimate "yang" sector. It represents the man or patriarch. This sector also represents the heaven energy that comes from people in a position to help us. This is one of the critical areas of feng shui. When this is positively aspected, you will have people who help you and who make introductions for you.

When the northwest corner is afflicted, you will find that the going is tough, long, and alone. People don't come to your aid, bosses are belligerent, no one wants to help you, and you can't get the attention of superiors.

Afflictions to this sector include: Annual afflictions, bathrooms, fireplace, toilets, laundry rooms and kitchens in this area. The most serious of the afflictions are a fireplace or kitchen or a missing corner.
Enhancements for 2011: This sector hosts the wealth star this year! Make sure you add water, blue and black items and keep this area energized with activity. Working in this sector will help you get ahead financially and in networking, too.

4. Southwest/Women, Matriarch, Marriage Sector -- Wealth of love, income from womenThis is the second most important sector in feng shui behind the northwest corner. That's because this represents the home's "yin" energy. Remember, everything comes from nothing. A house must have people in it and the energy of love and relationships. This sector is also very important if the woman is the breadwinner or a business owner or is a career woman.

Until 2024, this is also the direction of the "indirect spirit." That means that direct energy comes from the northeast and because the southwest is opposite the northeast, the direction is called the indirect spirit direction. The indirect spirit is also a secondary wealth location that benefits by the addition of WATER, such as a pool, fountain, fish tank or pond.

Afflictions to this sector include: Annual afflictions, bathrooms, fireplace, toilets, laundry rooms and kitchens in this area. The most serious of the afflictions are a bathroom or a missing corner.
Enhancements for 2011:  The sexy 4 star is here this year and is helped by water, crystals, and activity. Get out and advertise, market and use PR in your job and business to help you get ahead this year. Don't use too much water as it can bring scandal, but a little water could bring cash to working women!

5. Center/Heavenly Heart Sector -- Sector of totality: health, wealth, relationshipsThis sector is the heart and backbone of your home. Afflictions in this area show up as problems with health, relationships, and money. Everything suffers when this area is afflicted. All who live in the house with an afflicted center sector suffer in one way or another. Along with the southwest and northwest, this is the third area that must be protected. When this area has a living room, bedroom, or dining room, it benefits most.

Afflictions to this sector include: Annual afflictions, bathrooms, fireplace, toilets, laundry rooms and kitchens in this area. The most serious of the afflictions are a bathroom, an open center, plants or trees in the center or if the center is a missing corner.

Although the southeast is typically looked at as the major sector representing prosperity, it's only one slice of the prosperity pie. Don't overlook the four other wealth sectors in favor of only your southeast sector. These each have a bearing on your wealth, though each in a different way.

Enhancements for 2011:  This year, keep a fountain going and lights on to drain the troublesome 7 star that cuts through all forms of wealth -- health, income and relationships.
