The West is connected to creativity, fertility, children, inner child, joy and the future. This area is supported by the Metal element which assists with clarity of vision and precision.

If you have an idea or something you want to give birth to, whether it’s growing a family, starting a creative project or business, plant the seeds of intention in the West of your home. It is a great place to get creative and engage in creative pursuits, play or listen to music, write, read or journal. You can also photos of children or grandchildren here (*exception is NOT the primary bedroom).

Feeling blocked in any of these areas? What could be blocking your creative flow in your space? Declutter and clear out and release anything placed here associated with the past or that no longer represents you.
