Directions Mapped to the Five Elements
Direction is an element too — lay out to borrow it
Each direction carries an element: east is Wood, south is Fire, west is Metal, north is Water, center is Earth. Direction is the element of space — desk facing, bedroom position, and office layout all shape your state. Find the direction your favorable god rules and put your important spots there.
Placing your important spots in your favorable god's direction is spatial borrowing.

Favorable Wood favors the east, Fire the south, Metal the west, Water the north, Earth the center.

Bedroom position and facing shape rest and mood; a balanced direction settles the room.

The direction you stay in long reinforces its element — the seat you hold longest deserves attention.

Don't bed long-term in your unfavorable god's direction; face your desk toward your favorable direction.
