Feng Shui For Love

Using Symbols in Feng Shui to Spice up and Enhance your Marriage and your Love Life

A happy romantic relationship or a healthy and long lasting marriages is key ingredient for a happy life for most of us. In the Orient, feng shui practitioners have been using various symbols to attract relationship luck for hundreds of years. Here is a list of feng shui symbols that you can use to enhance your marriage and your love life:

1) The dragon and the phoenix have long been auspicious celestial creatures in feng shui. Unlike in western cultures, the dragon and phoenix are often displayed together as they represent the elements of Yin and Yang (the dragon representing men, and the phoenix representing women). Displaying a pair of these celestial creatures, whether it is on an amulet or a painting, is extremely effective to attract good relationship luck. Besides representing a perfect union, these creatures are also effective to safeguard your relationship against third parties. Display a small painting (not too big) in your bedroom or a prominent area of your home to spice up your love life.

2) Mandarin ducks are also potent symbols of love in feng shui. In nature, these ducks actually mate for life. Display a pair of mandarin ducks (figurine or painting) in your room to activate your love life. Take note to never display a singular bird or duck as it signifies a solitary and lonely life.

3) Among the ba gua directions, the Southwest sector represents romantic luck. The element of this direction is earth, so having lots of earth element (like crystal and earth-ware decorations) and fire element (bright lights or real flames) in the southwest is extremely potent to activate your relationship luck.

Using Ba Gua Directions to Combat Infidelity

If you are currently involved in a relationship or marriage, the most important directions in the ba gua to take note of is the Northwest and Southwest. The patriarch of the home (the father or man of the house), is represented by the Northwest, whilst the matriarch (mother of woman of the house) is represented by the Southwest. To ensure that both spouses or partner stay loyal to the relationship, these two directions must be noted.

For starters, the Northwest sector of your house must not be ‘missing’ (due to the design of your home). If is it missing, the father of the man in your live will seldom be at home, and this absence may lead to a fall out in the relationship and infidelity. The Northwest sector must be filled with symbols of your relationship, such as pictures of the family and both partners in the relationship. A pair of mandarin ducks will be extremely effective too.

The element of the Northwest is metal. To make sure that your man stays close with you or your family, strengthen the metal element in the northwest. This can be done by hanging wind chimes or having lots of metal decorations in the northwest. The Lucky colors for this direction is white and earth tones.
