Compass Directions – North

The North sector of your home represents your career. It’s connected to the middle son in the family and the element of water. The emblem of the North is the moon and the number associated with the North is 1. Blue and black are favourable colours for this part of your home, and it’s represented by wavy and irregular shapes. The season of midwinter is connected to the North and in your body it corresponds to your reproductive organs, kidneys and bladder as well as your hair, spine and ears.

This kind of information is useful if you are experiencing any issues in any of the areas mentioned above. In that case it can pay off to take a closer look at the North sector of your home.

For example, a bathroom in this sector will have a draining effect on the middle son in the family as well as everyone’s careers/school work. A stove or fireplace here can mean that these areas of your life are over-active and you can tend to feel burnt out by them. To rectify these situations ideally you should move the bathroom or fireplace, which of course most often you cannot do. Instead you can create extra support for the middle son by helping him to de-stress or give him help around his school/career. It’s also important for everyone in the home to counteract these situations with taking extra care to not be overwhelmed, stressed or burnt out by work. Find ways to unwinds and let work go when you leave for the day.

Clutter in the North sector of your home will create a barrier around your career and related areas, such as your own business, if you have one. Clutter is attracted to the areas of your life you feel burdened by or don’t want to look at. If you find clutter in this sector of your home, subconsciously you are working against your career, business or current work situation. If this bothers you and you want to change it, start clearing the clutter in this part of your home, and you will soon find that you have more energy, time and inspiration to work on your career or business.

If this part of your home is missing, or partially missing, you may experience career related issues such as being passed by for a promotion, business being slow or even experience health issues related to your reproductive organs, kidneys, bladder or hearing. To counteract this you can place a water feature or strong metal form (such as a metal statue) outside in the North sector of your garden.
