Q&A I am starting a garment export business with a friend. We would like to have a conference room in the office. Kindly suggest where it should be located. Can the north-west room be chosen for this purpose?

The best area for the conference room is in the north-east of the office. The ruling calm and serene energy of this area ensures productive outcomes for meetings that are filled with inspiration, creativity and wisdom. It brings out the best in everyone who sits at the table. In contrast, the ruling movement of the north-west would interfere with the concentration of people attending the conference. This would result in unproductive meetings, which would affect your business.

Q&A I moved to a better company in April, hoping for more job security in the future. But that is just not happening; I am still confused and am always on the lookout for a new job. Plus, whatever money comes is spent immediately. I was born on January 28, 1966 at 12.32 am. The north-east portion of our house is cut and our master bedroom is in the north-west direction.

Your pillars of destiny reveal you are a weak fire person. Presently, you are under the influence of the wood element, which is providing you with a lot of support.

You should really do well in this period and I would advise you to stick to your present job.

The next year shows a promotion in your job. Three elements of earth that represent your intelligence drain away your weak fire element resulting in a confused state of mind. To make things worse, your master bedroom is in the north-west sector, which is governed by a lot of movement. It disturbs your restless mind, which keeps wandering.

Please vacate this room and occupy either a bedroom in the south-west or in any other part of the house. If you have no option of changing the room, then place a heavy boulder in the extreme north-west corner of the room to suppress the ruling movement of this area. Install a light in the area that has been cut of from the north-east portion of the house from outside to get back energy from the lost corner or place a large mirror on the internal north-east wall to create an illusion of space and depth.

This is again a vital corner of the house that blesses you with mental peace and god's blessings. Keep away from an earthy environment or the colours connected with it to give some peace to your mind.

Instead strengthen yourself with wood and fire elements and their associated colours green, red and maroon.

Friend facts

Do you have true and genuine friends? Is there somebody in your life who you can confide in?

If not, then the northwest area of your house calls for immediate attention. If this area has immovable furniture or furnishings, modify the situation by adding appropriate accessories. These could be pictures of friends, mentors, angels and fairies. Place metal wind-chimes, crystal mobiles and revolving clocks here to attract blessings.

Peace zone

For a feeling of inner peace, take a careful look at the northeast corner of each room. It should be clear of any kind of clutter and of heavy and tall furniture.

Create a zone of tranquillity in the extreme northeast of the house by placing an image of god and a spiritual book. Light a candle and sit here to meditate and feel in tune with your inner self.

Creative call

If you are an artist, musician or writer and are having problems in expressing your creativity, then move into a room in the west of the house. Surround yourself with metal picture frames and use earthen and metallic pieces of art like pots, lamps and sculptures. Bring your imagination to fruition by practising with your instruments or paints and brushes by facing east in this part of the house.

Tip of the week

• The north-east portion of the office area is the best suited for a conference room. The area is usually calm and serene and as a result it allows any form of discussion and dialogue.

• In sharp contrast the north-west area, and its surrounding energy can only hamper the wisdom, patience and concentration level of the workers.

• If your bedroom is in the north-west sector of a home then immediate relocation is required, as the restless energy of this corner makes the mind wander. That may affect professional sphere, as well as, the family.

• The north-east corner of the house serves as the perfect meditation corner. By placing a spiritual book, a candle and a few photos of god, the area can enhance inner peace.
