Health & Family Luck

Health & Family Luck — East Sector

The East is your permanent health and family sector. It governs the physical wellbeing of everyone in your household, the harmony between family members, and the vitality that sustains a flourishing home life. In the traditional Bagua the East is also associated with the eldest son and the energy of new beginnings, the rising sun, the start of each new day, the forward movement of life.

The East is governed by the Wood element — the element of growth, vitality, and upward living energy. When the East sector of your home is activated and nourished, that same quality of living, growing energy moves through the health and wellbeing of every person who lives in the space. Keep this area alive — healthy plants placed here honor the Wood element and strengthen the sector's energy naturally. Keep it clean, well-lit, and free of clutter so the Chi flows unobstructed through the area that governs your family's wellbeing.

The primary symbols of the East sector are the Dragon, the celestial guardian of the East and the Wu Lou, the health gourd that has been used in Chinese tradition for centuries to absorb illness energy and support recovery. Every object placed here with the intention of health and family protection activates the sector and signals that intention to the energy of your home.
