Five Elements and Compass

The five-element cycle is a relationship model, not a shopping list of crystals. Wood feeds fire; water controls fire. Color articles belong here when the question is elemental, not what paint is lucky. The compass guide is the instrument, not a facing-direction house article.

9 guides in this hub. Each child page answers one job; this page does not repeat them.

  1. Phone compass held level at an open front door, away from the steel frame

    Feng Shui Compass: Facing, Sitting, and Phone Lies
