Introduction: In Chinese culture, we have always placed great importance on the safety of our homes.
A house is not only a place for a family to live but also a gathering place for the family’s fortune. After all, as the saying goes, harmony in the family leads to prosperity.
When couples are loving, families are harmonious, and everyone works together, it becomes difficult for life to go poorly.
To ensure that a home attracts wealth, the most important factor is the balance of Yin and Yang!
Feng Shui experts believe that Yin energy stops at places with water such as coasts, rivers, and lakes, while Yang energy disperses and moves away in open spaces.
Yin energy descends, Yang energy rises; Yin energy stops at water, and Yang energy scatters in open spaces. This principle applies to homes as well.
If there is too much Yin energy, it will create a negative energy field, leading to a gloomy atmosphere and a lack of vitality for those living there.
So how can we determine the Yin and Yang of a house? And how can we resolve any issues? Today, I will explain this to everyone.
What is the Yin and Yang of a residence?
First, let’s clarify the concept of Yin and Yang in a house.
All things have form and representation; the house we live in is like a small Tai Chi that integrates Yin and Yang, a place where these energies intersect.
People spend about half of their lives at home, so the Feng Shui of a residence greatly influences everyone’s fortune.
As the saying goes, everything must pursue a balance of Yin and Yang to align with natural laws and ensure prosperity.
If, for some reason, there is an excess of Yin energy in the house, this “Yin energy” will envelop the entire home, causing unrest for the entire family!
Five Major Signs of Excess Yin Energy in Your Home
If a person lives in a house with accumulated Yin energy for a long time, they are likely to experience misfortunes.
Typically, such houses exhibit the following five characteristics; you can check if they apply to you:
Large House with Few People, Empty Interior
Many people prefer to live in large houses, thinking it is more comfortable.
However, this can lead to a situation of “large house, few people,” which is often considered a “house of misfortune” in traditional Feng Shui!
We can view the gathering of “human energy” as the gathering of “Yang energy.”
The house itself also has an energy field, and a large energy field can easily suppress human energy, causing residents to be in a state of depletion.
Especially during sleep, excessive suppression can lead to insomnia, vivid dreams, and occasional fright.
Solution: Adjust colors to increase Yang energy
Since you cannot change the house, how can you resolve this issue?
For example, you can purchase warm-colored home furnishings and daily necessities to increase the Yang energy in the home, achieving a balance of Yin and Yang.
Excessive Greenery, Damp and Dark
Nowadays, with the fast pace of urban life and high work pressure, many people enjoy growing flowers and plants at home to relax and unwind.
Some people fill their balconies with plants, and even their bedrooms and studies are lush with greenery.
However, too many plants can lead to excessive dampness and Yin energy indoors, depleting the Yang energy of the home.
Especially climbing plants, which can grow to block out light, inadvertently increasing the Yin energy in the home:
From a Feng Shui perspective, placing plants can create a barrier of energy and even transform negative energy into positive energy, serving as an essential tool in Feng Shui.
However, too much of anything can be detrimental; excessive plants can create a negative energy formation, adversely affecting the residents’ fortunes.
If there are too many plants in the bedroom, it can lead to insomnia, vivid dreams, and feelings of fear and unease at night:
Solution: Place warm jade to harmonize Yin and Yang
In this case, it is advisable to reduce the number of plants and increase indoor lighting to harmonize the Yin energy.
Dark Orientation, Unfavorable Location
We often say that a house should face south; this is not just a random saying!
Everyone knows that the east is the direction where the sun rises, and houses facing east or south have better lighting and warmth, naturally providing sufficient Yang energy and balance of Yin and Yang.
In contrast, houses facing north are often exposed to cold winds and darkness, leading to insufficient Yang energy over time.
Additionally, the surrounding environment can greatly impact Feng Shui.
For example, being near hospitals, crematoriums, cemeteries, or garbage dumps can significantly increase the Yin energy of a residence, thereby affecting personal fortune.
Solution: Open windows for ventilation, offer protective talismans
If the orientation of the house is problematic, according to traditional Feng Shui theory, you can harmonize the Yin energy by opening windows at specific times and directions.
The best airflow is from the east after sunrise, and the ideal time for ventilation is between 6:30 AM and 9:00 AM.
During midday to afternoon, the southeast direction has the strongest Yang energy, which can also be brought into the home.
However, if the house is poorly located near buildings with excessive Yin energy, you can place protective talismans in the home.
Fish Tank at the Entrance, Financial Loss and Disaster
Nowadays, many people like to place a large fish tank at the entrance of their clean and bright homes for decoration. Thinking that “water represents wealth,” they quickly move the fish tank to the front door.
However, I must tell you that this not only fails to attract wealth but can also increase the negative energy in the home, leading to disaster!
The placement of the fish tank should be combined with the owner’s BaZi (Eight Characters) preferences.
If placed in a favorable direction according to one’s destiny, it can have a positive effect. For example, those who favor the metal element should place the fish tank in the west direction.
If placed in an unfavorable direction, it can lead to financial loss.
Moreover, even if it is in a favorable direction, it may still be in unsuitable places like the bedroom, kitchen, or bathroom.
Therefore, rather than risking it without knowing if it will attract wealth, it is better to choose traditional wealth-attracting items that are reliable and stress-free.
Solution: Traditional ornaments to attract wealth and blessings
More Women than Men, Excess Yin and Deficient Yang
Lastly, the issue of excessive Yin energy in a house may also stem from the population dynamics.
In some families, there are fewer males and more females, and the females tend to be more assertive, which can easily lead to a situation of “excess Yin and deficient Yang.”
This phenomenon not only affects the academic and career fortunes of the males in the family but can also place excessive pressure on the females, leading to disharmony in the family and discord between couples.
