First steps to develop the northern sector
According to Feng Shui, the northern sector will begin to work if certain conditions are met:
- There should be no peeling wallpaper or stains on the walls or ceiling in the area. If any of the above is present, it is better to make cosmetic repairs and eliminate the shortcomings.
- Check the condition of the lamps. All light bulbs must be clean and in working order.
- Clear the room of unnecessary items. Feng Shui does not accept clutter and strives for free space to activate vital energy and attract favorable events.
- Water will help clean the sector, so wet cleaning is the next step in preparing the area and getting rid of negativity. Adding salt to water will enhance the effect.
- To get rid of dark forces, a bell is suitable. If it is not available, just clap your hands.
- Incense also helps cleanse the sector of negative influences. The aroma can be different: rose, cedar, orchid, laurel. The ritual scheme is simple: move clockwise 3 times with a bell and an incense stick along the walls, starting and ending at the door.
- Positive energy will be attracted by wind music - a graceful chime will clear the space and correct the energy. When choosing wind chimes, you need to pay attention to the cord, which should be made of natural material, and the number of tubes: 5 will destroy negative energy, and 6 or 8 will attract good luck and prosperity.
What color should furniture be placed on the north side?
To make the northern room look contrasting, furniture items are chosen in warm brown, chocolate, red or burgundy colors. Contours look softer with rich gold or honey-toned cabinets.
Such items will stand out against the wall if it is painted a different color, give off warmth and add coziness. For light-colored furniture, you should make the background dark or choose a furniture set with a contrasting finish.
Furniture painted red, yellow, pistachio or other interesting color looks original among the usual brown furnishings. This option is most often used for upholstered furniture.
On the north side of the apartment there are no tall dark cabinets, only low cabinets and chests of drawers.
What should be located in the career sector
Feng Shui north in an apartment can be easily determined using a compass. You can select the required zone in a common area or in a separate room.
A bedroom located in the north is suitable for sound sleep, but the northern sector can relax active people. Although according to Feng Shui it is recommended to avoid blue color in the recreation room, for a bedroom in the northern zone it is best to use blue shades.
In an apartment, it is best to use an office or library as a workspace. If you do not have the necessary space, it is recommended to choose the north side of the living room, kitchen or hallway.
When organizing a workplace, the correct placement of a person is important:

North-West and North-East according to Feng Shui
The neighboring sectors - northeastern and northwestern - are responsible for related areas of life (gaining knowledge and acquiring useful connections).
Northwest
Interestingly, according to Feng Shui, cuisine in the North-West is considered a fairly successful solution - experiments that contribute to the emergence of new skills are welcomed in the Wisdom Zone.
The main colors of the northwest according to feng shui are warm, earthy (brown, beige, sand with elements of orange or yellow). Ceramic and clay vessels and live plants in pots would be appropriate here.
Northeast
According to Feng Shui, the North-East (as opposed to the North-West) is under the auspices of Metal. There shouldn’t be a lot of land here, but you won’t have to give up water symbols.
The sector is responsible for successful trips, selfless friends and important patrons who can change the situation in your favor at the right time. It’s great if there is a living room in this area, and in it (on the walls) there are diplomas, photographs, iconic items, good luck talismans (like horseshoes or images of totem animals).
Suitable talismans
Having identified and cleared the northern feng shui zone in the apartment, you need to select talismans that will help you achieve success in your career:
- The most common mascot for this zone is a turtle. It can be black or metal-colored. It is a symbol of heavenly support, wisdom and longevity. There should be only one turtle, since the number of this sector is 1. It is best to have a live turtle, but an image or figurine with a portrait of the owner attached to the shell will do. The most powerful talisman will be a live turtle, which is in an aquarium with water.
- An amulet that attracts financial well-being is a three-legged toad with a coin in its mouth, which should not be glued. It is best to place the figurine in water, for example, in a fountain or aquarium.
- A figurine of Hotei with a bag of money, made of any material, will become a symbol of material wealth.
- A ceramic vase, inside of which there are special Chinese coins, symbolizing the unity of Heaven and Earth, has similar properties.
- A ship with raised sails and filled with coins appears only in a house that expects financial stability. The nose is directed to the right, but not towards the door or window, otherwise the wealth will go away.
Office color scheme
It may seem strange, but the color scheme of your office walls also has a big impact on your career success. The predominance of green and blue tones is considered ideal. According to Feng Shui, these colors are symbols of energy, sound thinking, sincerity, as well as harmony and peace. Decorate your office in similar colors and you will not feel tired, drowsy and irritable, but on the contrary, you will feel maximum strength and energy.
At the same time, gray and brown shades have an extremely unfavorable effect on workers. Such a dull color scheme will not contribute to your career advancement, because these colors absolutely do not improve vitality and productivity and have a depressing effect on the psyche.
Ways to enhance energy in this area of the home
According to Feng Shui, in order to activate the career sector, it is important not only to clear the space and choose the right talismans, but also to enhance the positive energy of the zone. There are various ways:
- Decorate the sector in blue, blue, gold, silver or white. It is acceptable to add black accents.
- The northern zone in the apartment is controlled by the element of Water.
- Metal enhances the water element, so it is appropriate to place cups, awards, figurines, medals made of any metal, as well as wall clocks with a metal pendulum in the career area.
Suitable symbols of the water element would be:
- An aquarium with a goldfish (symbol of well-being) or guppies, creating the energy of vital activity. The water should remain clear to prevent the opposite effect.
- Fountain. Moving water attracts beneficial Qi energy.
- Glass of water. To attract financial well-being, place high-denomination coins on the bottom: 8 white and 1 yellow. Rinse the coins and glass daily with fresh water.
- Paintings depicting a river, waterfall, seascapes or aquatic life. It is important to choose a suitable frame for them in a color recommended for the career sector. Wooden frames will not work.
Activation of the sector should occur not only at the external level. In addition to transforming the space, it is important to change the attitude towards the situation. The northern sector corresponds to the trigram Kan, which is considered work on mistakes. By working on one's shortcomings, a person becomes more perfect. This influences your future career and brings the desired result.
How to set up your workplace
First of all, it is necessary to study the theoretical part of this eastern art. After all, Feng Shui is represented by various nuances and little things that must be taken into account. Therefore, below we list the factors responsible for the career zone according to Feng Shui philosophy:
- it is necessary to place the desktop in the northern part of the room or office,
- give preference to gold and silver colors, blue shades, and black. They should be the main ones in the design of your work sector if you want to program it for success,
- According to the art of Feng Shui, the water element is responsible for attracting money, as well as eliminating any troubles from a person’s path. Therefore, it is necessary to have a water theme in your work area,
- The placement of special plants in the workplace is also very important. So, for example, the money tree will attract material benefits, geranium will calm even very aggressive people, dracaena will provide stable financial profit, and the Chinese rose will help to intensify creative processes. To enhance the effect, Feng Shui recommends placing these plants not only in your office but also in your home.
Interesting detail. To provide even more inspiration, hang portraits of celebrities or people who have achieved certain professional heights on a nearby wall in your office. Also, be sure to put photographs of people near and dear to your heart on your desktop, which will remind you of pleasant things, especially at the end of a hard working day.
Zones Love, Family, Children
Marriage
It’s also the love zone – it’s the southwest. There is a romantic atmosphere, pink and beige colors, and earthy elements.
The main law in this territory is paired talismans: fish, birds, angels and candles. They help both find love and maintain feelings in a couple.
Family
Located in the east. Paste blue or green wallpaper here and be sure to put up family photos where everyone is happy and smiling. Green plants and paintings with fertility themes will support family well-being.
Children
Children, as well as Creativity, are the western part of the apartment. The children's room, a place for games and various creativity, is decorated in gold, silver and other light colors.
There should be a lot of sunshine here. Arrange an exhibition of children's drawings and crafts here. The West is considered a wish-fulfillment zone; this is where you can hide your wish card.
