You can also allocate your bedroom according to the later heaven Pa Kua trigrams placed around the eight directions. According to this arrangement, each direction has representative members of the family. Using this formula, you can allocate your bedroom according to family members. Below is a reference table for the different members of the family with their matching directions.

The bedroom is where you rest, relax and hide away from the world. It is vital that when you sleep, you ensure all the energy that enters your body replenishes and revitalizes you, is auspicious and attracts good luck for when you wake up in the morning. The best time to sleep is by 11pm each night. This is when your body rejuvenates its cells and fills up with new energy that will take you through another day of auspicious luck. 11pm is also the time slot of the first animal sign, a sign that symbolizes starting a new cycle afresh for the following day. The Master Bedroom of the house is where the matriarch and patriarch of the home reside. The Northwest sector is a good location for the bedroom of the Patriarch, while the Southwest sector is a good place for the Matriarch. The main bedroom is the most important bedroom, as this has an enormous effect on the harmony of the home, on the well-being of all residents within the home, and on the finances of the household.

There are three important things you need to take note of:

1) The shape of the bedroom2) The positioning of the bed within the bedroom and the bedroom sector3) Decorative objects in the bedroom

It is best to have a rectangular or square shaped bedroom. Try to use the magic ratio if you can. The magic ratio is 1:1.618. This means that the proportion of the bedroom should be 1 (the short side) to 1.618 (the long side). If your bedroom has an irregular shape (such as an L-shape), try to use a screen featuring good fortune symbols as a divider. This will transform the bedroom into a more regular shape. Never use mirrors as a feng shui cure for the bedroom. Position your bed to face your best direction according to the Eight Mansions KUA formula. You can check for your best directions by logging on to www.wofs.com and using the Kua Calculator. If you cannot position your bed to tap your best direction, at least try and tap one of your other three good directions.


The Yin Component plays a much larger role in the bedroom compared to in the other rooms of the house. This is because the bedroom is a place for

rest, recuperation and relaxation. Do not make the energy in the bedroom too Yang. The bedroom should suggest calm and quiet. The color scheme should be muted. Lighting should not be too bright, and you should avoid having a television in the bedroom. However, also make sure it is not too Yin. For example, if you are lacking of energy, get yourself a red bed sheet. Use your own judgment when applying feng shui to your bedroom. Do not go overboard when decorating your bedroom. You can energize the bedroom for marriage, romance and love relationships. Place a pair of mandarin ducks for marriage luck, a rose quartz puffed heart for romance and other love symbols. But it is better not to energize for wealth in the bedroom. Wealth enhancers are better suited to the living room and office. Bedroom feng shui should observe all taboos relating to orientation, views, structures, shapes together with achieving auspicious sleeping directions for each family member.

1. The bed should not be placed directly below an exposed beam.

2. The bed should be placed against a solid wall.

3. Do not position the bed so that it faces another bedroom door.

4. Do not have any mirrors directly facing the bed.

5. The bed should not be placed between 2 doors.

6. Neither should the bed face a protruding corner.

7. The headboard must be placed against a wall. It should never be “floating”.

8. Never move the bed when the wife is pregnant.

an exposed overhead beam above the study desk.4) Make sure your child does not get hit by the sharp edge of any cupboard, pillar or

Children are always growing and they are usually full of energy. For children’s rooms it is thus best to use more yang energy features than yin energy features. This means more light and noise. Avoid hanging any fierce looking images or placing any aggressive looking figurines in a child’s room. Wrong placement of the bed and study desk can cause problems to a child’s health and performance in their studies. For children, the sitting and sleeping directions are the two vital factors for tapping good feng shui.

Childrens Rooms & Study Rooms

1) Arrange your child’s bed to tap his or her Fu Wei direction. It is not necessary for children to tap their wealth direction as they have not yet entered the job market. Instead, energize for good health, good study luck and good sleeping patterns for your child.

2) Focus on the study desk. Make sure they are tapping their Fu Wei direction when they are studying or doing their homework.


Things to Take Into Consideration When Arranging the Study Room

1) Place a crystal globe in the NE of the study room. Ask your child to spin the crystal globe 3 times a day.

2) Place a 7-level pagoda in the NE of the study room or on the study desk to improve examination luck.

3) Get your child a personal crystal point. Teach your child how to use the crystal point. He or she should hold the crystal in his or her left hand while studying and revising. He or she can then bring the crystal point into exams. The crystal point should be soaked in sea-salt water for 7 days and 7 nights before it is used, to rid the crystal of other people’s energies. This crystal point will then be your child’s personal crystal throughout his/her academic career.

4) Place different colors of glitter lamps in the NE sector of your child’s room to activate for good study luck.
