Once
you know your personal element, you can then compare this
with the element of your house.
The
key to excellent Feng Shui for your home revolves around
comparing your Personal element found in your Full
report with your home's element. You will get to understand
the 5 Elements which will be
covered in a later topic.
It
is not uncommon for a Feng Shui practioner to ask you to
place potted plants in the North (Water element) of the
house or to have `warm' coloured curtains in the South (Fire
element) to `enhance' that particular location.
If
an element comes under the threat of another element e.g.
water puts out fire; fire melts metal; metal breaks wood;
wood (roots of plants) penetrates the earth; and earth is
absorbed water. In this situation, Feng Shui experts will
advice you to place a neutralising element to avoid such
harmful effects.
