Energy of the Fire Element

The fire element resides in the southern directional area of the Bagua located near the center back, in the fame section of the nine life areas. As with the water element to the north, the fire element has a natural space in the south letting its high energy bring great enlightenment to the Fame area.

The fire element brings increased recognition and illumination to the goal you’re trying to accomplish, signifying growth and expansion as you activate a fire cure. It realizes what you are passionate about and directs its inspiration towards the answer. Look to the fame area as you plan your future if the need is to draw attention or acclaim to yourself. Remember, enhancing this area will make you and your reputation sparkle; this sparkle is achieved by the activation of a fire element.

Applying a fire cure by adding candles, or choosing to use colors in reds, purples, or pinks, or by placing symbolic shapes of the symbols of fire in their natural southern position will bring great inspiration to the area you are trying enhance. Symbols for fire include pyramids, diamonds, and other angular shapes like that of a triangle. For instance, placing a fire element in the center back of the Career Area would be helpful if you are trying to create energy for a new job or expand the one you already have. Perhaps you are trying to move from team leader to upper management, then this would be where the proper cure and intention should be placed. A wooden item would be a great idea, as wood will be symbolic of fuel needed to make the fire to produce the high energy necessary for your cure. Placing a triangular wooden platter on a tabletop in the southern area of your space would be an excellent choice to use.

Certain gemstones are associated with the fire element. Wearing jewelry fashioned from rubies or garnets can increase that aspect; their deep red colors stimulating fire energy. Using artful positioning of light fixtures and candles in the southern corner will bring intensity to the chi energy you are summoning. Animal sculptures, pictures of animals, artwork or paintings containing people, sunshine, or natural lights placed in the southern corner of the life area needing enhancement would be highly beneficial.

Remember it’s better to light a candle than to curse the darkness!
