N – Business Success

SE – Wealth

COLORS

 Brown – use brown, beige or tan to represent youth, prosperity, family, harmony, nutrition, strength, growth and vitality.

 Blue – use (especially ultramarine) in N to attract business success. Use in E to enhance family, harmony and health.  Do not use blue in SW or NE.

 Black –  use in N to enhance business success, career and new beginnings.  Do not combine it with yellow or use it in SW or NE.   Do not use black in bedrooms or on the walls or ceilings or any room.

 Gold Metallic – use metallic gold in the W to enhance children’s fame, creativity, success, travel, and interests outside the home. Do not use metallic gold in bedrooms.  It will destroy health and harmony.  Do not use in E or SE. 

 Gold Nonmetallic – Use nonmetallic gold in NE to enhance wisdom, knowledge and scholarly success. Use in SW to enhance marriage, motherhood, love and relationships.  Do not use in the N which represents business and career success.

 Green – use in S for protection from evil.  Do not use green in SW or NE. Put green items in SE of the living room for prospetity.

 Gray – use in NW, N and W to enhance supportive people, benefactors, mentors, international trade, trips, travel and interests outside the home. Do not use in E or SE.

 Orange – use in SW to promote motherhood, romance, love, relationships and marriage. Do not use orange in N. 

 Peach – Use peach if you are a single woman seeking a good husband.  Use peach in abundance in your unmarried daughter’s bedroom so she will marry well. Pictures of peonies or pictures with peach color should be placed outside the bedroom.  Do not use peach in your bedroom if you are already married. This color will activate your partner;s roving eye or heart causing infidelity.

 Pink – use in S and SW areas of a single woman’s bedroom to powerfully represent romance, love and marrage.

 Purple – use in E for harmony, prosperity, family and health. Use in SE to promote wealth and prospetity. In Feng shui purple represents knowledge, wisdom, intelligence wealth, and spirituality.  Put purple chrysanthemums in SE for wealth and prosperity.

 Red – use in any form in S.  Use for newlyweds, brides, birthdays, and baby blankets.  Use red hearts and silk flowers in the SW, the area of love and romance.  Red protects from bad luck and evil. It represents fame, fortune, joy, festivity, longevity, summer, and passion. Tie two red cords or ribbons inside your bedroom on the doorknob if you would like to attract a serious partner. Too much red in a bedroom will disturb rest.  If your front entrance faces S, plant red flowers in the ground or in pots on both sides.  This provides protection to your family.

 Yellow – use on SW wall of your bedroom to symbolize motherhood. Use yellow objects in SW to activate love, romance, relationships and marrage.

 White – use on W and NW walls of your bedroom to symbolize fatherhood.
