CENTER – STRONG CURES NEEDED
If the centre part of the home is a shared space used by all residents, you will find everyone becoming stressed and short-tempered. This is caused by the incoming expansion star strengthening the 5 Yellow in this sector. It also increases likelihood of accidents and misfortune. Avoid spending time in this area if possible. If your personal space is in this part of the home, stress levels can soar, leading to health problems. To suppress the misfortune energies here, display the Heart Sutra Pagoda. Also place the Supremacy of Heaven Activator here to transform the energies of the Five Yellow into positive ones. As health luck is afflicted and this sector affects all residents, we suggest displaying the Wu Lou with Joyous Cranes here and carrying the Health Talisman Holder if health is a concern for you.

This brings good command skills to those residing in this sector, and benefits those in positions of management or power. Activate by placing the Ho Tu Enhancer Mirror here, or the Dragon Horse. But beware the conflict-bringing side of the #3; if encountering arguments regularly, do place a Magical Cosmic Apple here, and better if it is it “lit up”. A red carpet will also work well. Remove anything from this sector that makes too much noise – e.g. windchimes, TVs, musical instruments, stereos.

NORTH – UNLUCKY SECTOR. BEWARE!
The Five Yellow brings health problems and misfortune to residents of the North. When health problems show up, it will tend to affect the head and liver. When misfortune strikes, it comes in the form of accidents, money loss, and arguments with people of significance. This is a danger sector and needs cures. Keep this part of the home quiet. To remedy the energies, place the Heart Sutra Pagoda in this part of your living space. If your home faces North, you need the Heart Sutra Pagoda at the entrance of your home. Those with health concerns should carry the Health Talisman Holder or wear the Health & Well-Being Medallion.
