Bagua Relationships

THE RELATIONSHIP AREA

This area has the most feminine energy in the whole of the house. It relates to all one to one relationships; those with your spouse, your employer and/or employees and your friends. It is associated with the element earth; the warm, fertile, black earth that anything can grow in.

It relates to the season of Indian summer, a time of plenty and the plant Saturn and the times between 1pm and 3pm. It is an area that is soft, stable, nurturing and should have a safe feeling.

                                                      The organ that this area relates to is the spleen/stomach, which has the job of
                                                      preparing the food, transporting it and feeding it to the other organs. It provides
                                                      mental clarity and controls your thoughts and your short-term memory. The positive emotions of the spleen/stomach are duty and fairness (not having the stomach to do something wrong), nurturing, harmony, hospitality, steadiness and feeling centred. It's job is to balance.

In the negative, the spleen represents complaining (being splenetic), having an excessive appetite and craving for more. Feelings of insecurity and fear (yellow bellied), and needing lots of attention. To strengthen that part of your body, make changes in this area.

Missing or Extended Areas
Mentally draw a line down the centre of your home. Or draw a plan and mark in pencil. If the area that is missing is equal or less than half of the total external wall measurement it is a missing area. If however, the missing area is greater than half of the total external wall measurement then you have an extended area.

The above examples show a Missing Relationship Area

When this area is missing it will be hard for a woman to be happy, and it will be very difficult to have satisfying relationships and find a life partner. The people who live here can tend to have stomach weakness and have difficulty nurturing themselves and others. The feminine energy is missing, so if there is a woman in the home, she can become more masculine.

The above examples show an Extended Relationship Area

If the area is extended, then the woman can become too dominant, weakening the man. This is not good for a woman, she naturally has less testosterone and it is more in keeping with her biological nature to be slightly softer, flexible and nurturing. So to be too dominant can damage her health.
