The energy of each room influences a person’s destiny and can either help in business or ruin any endeavors.
Feng Shui zones along the cardinal directions simplify the organization of home space and harmonize the flows of Sha and Qi.
You can determine directions using a compass, housing plan and Bagua diagram, after which you should proceed to activate the sectors.
What is this zone responsible for?
The southwestern direction in the apartment accumulates energy, which can help you find a suitable partner for family life. This sector affects the relationship of an already established couple. If people often conflict, do not understand each other well, and have distrust of their partner, then this may mean that the sector of love and marriage is not organized correctly.
General provisions about windows
Located in a wall opening or on the roof, the window plays the role of:
- communications with external space;
- natural light;
- ventilation;
- protection from atmospheric and noise influences from the outside.
The lack of windows or their small size makes the room dark and gloomy. Overly large windows can sometimes make you feel like you're in an aquarium for everyone to see.
Windows of various sizes and shapes, but the most acceptable option: rectangular with a width equal to 55% of the width of the room. A spacious room with two windows and one terrace, filling its inhabitants with love of life and optimism is the best architectural solution.
Elements of the southwest
According to Feng Shui, the area of relationships and marriage is controlled by several elements at once.
The Earth is dominant, so this sector should be activated with objects with its elements. For example, you can place vases or dishes made of ceramics, plaster or natural stones. You can hang canvases depicting mountain landscapes or beautiful houses on the wall.
The element of Fire strengthens the zone of love and marriage, so candles or aroma lamps installed in this part of the house will help harmonize the love sphere. It is necessary to add as much light as possible to this sector, for which you can use beautiful sconces or floor lamps.

You should be careful with symbols of other elements. For example, Water elements installed in the southwest zone will extinguish the power of Fire. This can affect the intensity of the partners' feelings in a couple. You cannot place aquariums, fountains or images of rivers, waterfalls or the sea here.
A tree has a negative impact on the Earth because it destroys it with its roots and takes away vital juices. It is better not to decorate the southwestern direction with flowers or plants in pots. Dry bouquets or wood products will not be the best elements for decorating this area.
Metal products will weaken the effect of the Earth, introducing unfavorable energy into the zone of love and marriage, which can bring discord into family life.
How to define zones?
Why do you need to determine and know the Feng Shui zones of an apartment? Knowing the location of a certain sector makes it possible to activate it, that is, to influence the sphere of life it controls.
How to determine the zones of an apartment according to Feng Shui:
- print out the apartment plan (you can find it in the documents for the apartment or draw it yourself, knowing the parameters of each room);
- print an image of a Bagua grid or, in a simpler version, an image of sectors in the form of a square;
- determine where north is in the apartment using a compass;
- mark it on the apartment plan;
- attach an image of the feng shui zones to the apartment diagram and combine the two directions;
- determine the remaining zones according to the markings on the grid;
- In the absence of a compass, it is easy to determine east or west by the sun. Where the sun rises in the morning is east, where it sets in the evening is west;
- Another way is to determine the cardinal directions using online maps.
Some zones may be missing due to the fact that the apartment drawing has the shape of a polygon. What to do? In this case, you can hang a mirror on the wall in place of the missing zone. Another option is to define and activate zones only in the central part of the apartment, for example, in the living room.
Color scheme and shapes
To activate the zone, you should use shades of brown, yellow, beige, ocher, gold, red (a little) and pink. Colors such as terracotta and soft pink are best suited. These shades will help attract a suitable partner into the life of a single person.
Shades of blue and light blue should not be used in the southwestern part of the home. Silver and white colors will also extinguish the energy of this sector. Decorating the love zone with green shades would not be the best solution.
The shapes of objects that are installed in the southwest direction can be square or triangular. You can also use a rectangle placed horizontally.
You can enhance the energy of the southeastern sector with the help of aromas, using aroma sticks, candles or essential oils. The choice should be the scent of orange, rose, geranium, jasmine or cedar.

Methods for activating the defect zone
The design and activation of the love zone should be carried out only in a good mood and using those things that a person likes and evoke strong positive emotions in him.
The southwestern sector of the apartment can be decorated with different objects, but they should be placed in pairs. At the same time, several more principles should be observed.
Keeping it clean
An important rule in Feng Shui is to keep all work or living spaces clean. Dust, dirt, old things can destroy positive energy, which will affect all areas of life.
It is impossible for broken things to be in the zone of love and marriage, for disorder and neglect to reign there. You must constantly monitor the cleanliness of this area. At the same time, cleaning should be accompanied by a positive attitude. A person’s desires and thoughts should be aimed at strengthening the action of the sector.
Two candles will help clean this part of the house, one of which will be white and the other red. Long candles can be lightly secured with red ribbon. Once every 7-10 days they should be lit so that the fire eliminates all the negativity that has accumulated in relationships between loving people.
Symbols and silhouettes
All items that decorate the southwestern sector should carry the energy of love and happiness and be associated with warmth and joy in relationships. The figurines should be placed in pairs, they will symbolize the unity of Yin and Yang. Figurines of mandarin ducks, doves or swans are suitable for these purposes.
You should not put photos here where a person is lonely or sad. Photos with ex-partners are also not suitable for activating the love zone. There is no need to hang pictures with castle ruins, desert or autumn landscapes here. Canvases with the sun at sunset are not suitable for decor. The best option would be a photo where the couple is captured at a happy moment in life. Such a photo will radiate positive energy and repel negative flows from the sector.
Antique items are not suitable for decorating the southwestern sector, since they retain the energy background of the previous owners.
If there are electrical appliances in the love zone or nearby, it is better to move them to another part of the room, since they create flows of Qi energy that are difficult to control.
Images of wild animals, such as tigers, bears or leopards, bring aggression into relationships. Dolphins or butterflies, on the contrary, will contribute to the development of lightness, trust and love in relationships. The figures should also be installed in pairs.
You can awaken sensuality and passion in a relationship with the help of interior items related to the element of Fire, for example, horse figurines or paired red candles.
A small crystal crystal placed in the southwest zone will help to attract love into life. It can be hung on a red thread, and its length must be a multiple of 9.
Before using the transparent symbol, it should be kept in salt water for 7 days, and only then installed. By bringing the crystal to your heart or warming it with the warmth of your hands, the amulet can be charged with positive energy. Affirmations are also suitable for the same purpose. By reflecting the sun's rays, the crystal will send energy in all directions, which will speed up the fulfillment of your desire. This talisman should be cleaned once a month, again by immersing it in salt water.
Simple stones will bring a feeling of stability. They are laid out in the love sector in the amount of 9 pieces, and 2 stones should be larger. They are also pre-cleaned in salt water. You can put your favorite candies in the love sector.
Peonies, painted on canvas or in the form of fresh flowers, will bring love and harmony to the relationship of 2 people. They should be installed only in the southwest. This symbol cannot be used for the bedroom.
Pink or red wind music will help improve the circulation of love energy, and the design of such an amulet should not have sharp corners. A photograph of the couple should be placed next to the talisman.
Transferring the defect area to another area
The indoor love and marriage sector can occur anywhere. If the layout of the apartment is such that the bathroom or toilet is located in the southwest, this is not a reason for frustration, since there are several ways to smooth out the adverse effect.
To do this, you should decorate the restroom with green shades. If repairs are not possible, you can use rugs of this color or curtains in the bathroom. You can decorate the pipes with ribbons or put candles. You should always close the doors to these rooms tightly or hang a mirror on them.
You can neutralize the negative impact of a toilet located in the love sector by strengthening the love zone in another part of the apartment.
If the bedroom is located in the southwest, then to activate the energy you should use bedding in beige and pink tones. Decorating your bedroom in beige will also bring happiness. You should pay attention to the position of the bed. It should not fit tightly to the walls. Chi energy needs space and the ability to circulate throughout the space, so there should be a small distance between the bed and the wall.
How to activate zones?
Activation of Feng Shui zones in an apartment occurs by placing various objects and symbols in the right place, which helps to increase the flow of positive energy.
First of all, you need to determine which areas of your life require adjustment. If you want to build a career, succeed at work and make money, the areas of the north, southeast and possibly northwest obviously require attention.
If your plans are to find your soulmate, get married successfully, start a family and have children, you need to pay attention to the southwestern sector, as well as the eastern and western.
It is best to influence several zones at the same time. In this case, you can get a more pronounced and harmonious result.
The magic of red
The color red has the strongest impact on the energy of the love and marriage sector. If no amulets help you attract a loved one into your life, you should use red. To do this, you can put new red linen in the southwestern part. With him, the woman will have many new fans.
You can cover a wall facing southwest with red wallpaper. If this is not possible, then decorate the inner wall of the cabinet with red paper or fabric.
If you put a piece of red cloth or a red ribbon under your partner’s mattress, this will bring sexual energy into the relationship, which for some reason has disappeared from the lives of loving people.
How to choose an apartment according to Feng Shui?
A successful purchase will be the apartment that is being sold due to happy events in the life of the previous owners (expansion of living space due to the birth of a child, improvement in financial situation).
Accordingly, negative events in the life of sellers (divorce, loss of a loved one, bankruptcy) do not bring good luck.
It is also important to consider the situation near your home. The location is favorable near parks, any children's and creative centers, and sports clubs. The proximity to a cemetery, hospital, and prison has a negative impact.
The heart of the house or the central palace in Bazi
The central palace is also called the heart of the house, and it is related to the cardiovascular system of every living person and to the preservation and accumulation of wealth.
To avoid problems with the cardiovascular system and difficulties with saving earned money, it is very important that the following are not located in the central sector:
- toilet and/or bathroom;
- fireplace (real, with a chimney);
- ladder;
It’s good if the Central Palace is free and there is no heavy Furniture in its center.
To find the very center of the Central Palace, you need to connect the corners of your house (after you have built it to a rectangle). The intersection of these lines will be the center, and it should always be free.
If the apartment is irregularly shaped AND the Central Palace (or most of it) is located outside the house, this will also have an impact on health and wealth.
Now let's move on to the rest of the Palaces.
Dependence of illumination on window position
Good light level:
- the amount of serotonin increases, which increases tone;
- surge of vital energy;
- Plants develop perfectly.
Insufficient lighting has a bad effect on:
- vision;
- children's growth;
- metabolism;
- mood.
The sun moves across the sky along an elliptical path. The solstice depends on latitude and time of year. The closer to the equator, the higher it is. As the seasons change, the length of daylight hours changes. In summer, the sun rises high and its trajectory above the earth is greater than at the winter solstice. Accordingly, summer days are longer than winter ones.
Other factors influencing lighting in apartments in city houses:
- on what floor is the home - the higher, the more time the sun is visible;
- which houses are located opposite or next door - low ones are better;
- the configuration of the building itself – the worst thing – is shaped like a “P”.
It is normal when the room is flooded with sunlight for at least 2 hours a day.
The degree of illumination directly depends on the orientation of the windows to the cardinal points.
South-East sector according to Feng Shui
This is a tree sector. It is associated with the transfer of information and emotions - romance, inspiration, optimism. In the body the area of the hip joints, thighs and genitals.
Connected with the eldest daughter in the family and a woman 30-45 years old (they will have the most significant influence).
The absence of this sector indicates difficulties in the emotional sphere, romance, inspiration, the ability to transmit information; problems or diseases of the pelvic organs and hip joints may also arise.
Windows facing south
The sun shines from morning to evening. This is the sunniest window arrangement. Even in winter, the sun consistently illuminates the room, although to a lesser extent than in summer. For northern latitudes, the south side is the best option, but for southern latitudes, not really. In summer, the scorching sun, which shines all day long, creates an uncomfortable environment. In this case, an air conditioner is required.
In the southern rooms it is good to set up a living room or office, because... Lots of light is most conducive to creative activity.
Northeast sector according to Feng Shui
This is the land sector. It is associated with accumulation, preservation of finances and social position, reputation, authority. In the body it represents the hands and fingers, nose, spine.
Associated with the youngest son in the family and boys under 15 years of age (they will have the most significant influence).
The absence of this sector indicates difficulties with reputation, authority, accumulation and preservation of wealth and status; problems or diseases (injuries) of the hands and fingers, and spine may also arise.
Windows facing north and northeast: pros and cons
On the north side there is no sun, so very little solar energy comes in. In winter, daylight hours are shortest here. Only in the summer, early in the morning and at sunset, is it possible for the sun's rays to penetrate inside. It’s better to give this place to the kitchen - it’s already hot when cooking. It is advisable to arrange a pantry or dressing room - you can do without natural light.
If the room matches the direction of the windows correctly, no problems arise. If the purpose of the room is inappropriate, it is easy to compensate with the help of design. For example, “cool down” the southern children’s room or “warm up” the northern living room.
It is possible to correct deficiencies with suitable design using:
- color finishing;
- different textures;
- modern form;
- Sveta.
The designer will suggest the correct option.
Windows facing east - pros and cons
With an eastern direction, the sun illuminates the room in the first half of the day - from sunrise to lunch.
It would be appropriate to place a bedroom or nursery there. The dawn will illuminate the room and charge you with energy, creating a working mood for the whole day. In summer, after lunch it is a good place to take a break from the bright sun.
Universal window exit to the northeast. Illumination in winter is similar to summer in the north, but daylight hours are longer.
With a southeastern location, the sun warms from dawn until almost evening.
