Color Me Enhanced - Feng Shui, the Bagua Map and Color Selection

In Feng Shui, colors are often used to enhance the properties of the nine areas of the bagua map. Imagine your home as a large square, divided into three rows (front, middle and rear) with three squares (left, middle and center) each. The bagua map is interpreted from the orientation of your front door, even if you use a garage door or side entrance primarily. By using the appropriate colors in the appropriate areas of your home, you can help to bring change to your life.

Front Row:

Left side: Knowledge & Self-Cultivation area.

Use black, blues and greens to enhance learning and personal growth in your life.

Center: Career area.

Use black and other darkly-toned colors in this vital area to help improve your career situation- whether you are interested in getting that promotion, finding a new job or being more content with your work situation.

Right side: Helpful People & Travel area.

Use white, grays and black to help increase the number or quality of helpful people in your life, and to encourage safe, enjoyable travel opportunities.

Middle Row:

Left side: Health & Family area.

Use blues and greens to help encourage continued or improved health and family relationships in your life.

Center: Center area.

Use yellows and earth tones to improve the overall peace and tranquility of your home and life.

Right side: Creativity & Children area.

Use white and pastels to increase your creativity, overcome writer's/artist's block, and also when you would like to become pregnant or otherwise add to your family.

Rear Row:

Left side: Wealth & Prosperity area

Use blues, purples and reds to support personal wealth and prosperity growth.

Center: Fame & Reputation area

Use reds in this area to improve your personal fame in your chosen career field and your overall reputation within your community or your career.

Right side: Love & Marriage area

Use reds, pinks and white in this area to improve your love life and romantic relationships.

Now that you know which colors can help enhance the nine bagua areas, apply that knowledge to your living space. Try painting the walls, and adding accents like decorative pillows, blankets, indoor fountains, colored glass or collectibles. Throw rugs, wall hangings, silk or live flower arrangements, candles, curtains, placemats and tablecloths, and even shower curtains are other easy-to-implement feng shui color cures which will help activate energy and enhance your life.
