The Wind

The area of Wind is the place of Fortunate Blessings.

Most people associate good luck with winning the lottery, picking the right horse at the racetrack, or receiving an unexpected gift such as an inheritance or the prize at a raffle. The area of Wind, though often associated with wealth, is more accurately the area where we experience blessing in our lives - even in the midst of great difficulty - and remember just how blessed we truly are. Not just being on the receiving end of dollars, to be in Fortunate Blessings means to have a very real perception and experience of good luck in many areas of life, to be blessed by good omens, prosperity, harmony, and even health. Acknowledgment by a co-worker or employer, gratitude expressed by a sibling, a promotion at work, or an honor received through a trade association are all signs of Wind in harmony.
The symbol of penetration, like wind blowing through a screen, and the lighter aspects of the tree nature inherent in palms or willows are more closely related to this area and can be enhanced through art and other symbolic objects. Directly opposite Wind, 180 degrees across the bagua, is Heaven, which rules philanthropy. Of course, the more blessings we receive, the more we can give away.
When this area of the bagua is missing in the house, occupants will have more frequent accidents and experience "bad luck." They will frequently have difficulty with business affairs, documents, legal contracts, and taxes. If this area is a projection, occupants are often very successful in business and generally enjoy "good luck" and fortune.
