But because there are no fixed positions in the Feng shui, the corner where the wealth zone is most favorable depends on the kua number of a person and sometimes the period or timing by which the reading is determined. So before assigning the wealth zone (also known as the Sheng chi) in your home according to Feng shui's general principles, know first what is your kua number. Similarly, Feng shui uses symbols albeit in a manner that is only more familiar to the oriental mind and those that practices its principles. Again, speaking of principles, Feng shui is basically attracting nature's positive forces so that the person is more oriented to it and uses its symbols in a way that will be most beneficial to his requirements. This is so because the eight compass points represent the different energy levels that one is supposed to attract. In Feng shui, the bagua corrects the orientation of an edifice or a village and is supposed to enhance the quality of life of people living in it. The bagua is placed in such a way that it creates a mapping of the house where corners are determined whereby the occupants harmonizes with these zones for particular activities. A Feng shui consultant who can provide readings and cure in a whiz may not often be the right consultant. When the readings are done without the aid of a Feng shui compass, start asking questions because the effectivity of Feng shui designs hangs largely on the accuracy of the reader. You can make your own readings too. To achieve this, the house must be a very pleasant, cleaned space: Windows, sills, screens, and curtains are often not placed in the highest priority of the cleaning list when compared to the sweeping of dirt and vacuuming rugs and carpets and picking up the nits and grits that clutters the eye more readily. This is where you should highlight your plans and goals and place Feng shui symbols that match your dreams. You would not want this portion to be dull. When the light is not enough, a Feng shui mirror could help. The southeast portion is the area of careers. A rectangular light represents development and growth.
