The 5 Elements in Feng Shui: How They Shape Your Life
Feng Shui 2025
Understanding Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water
The Five Elements are within us and present in every aspect of our environment. They shape the landscapes, from the mountains and rivers to buildings and roads. For example, Earth-type mountains, called Ju Men, are believed to bring wealth to an area. However, a property must be positioned correctly to receive this beneficial energy.
How The Five Elements Interact and Affect Your Space
The Five Elements interact in two fundamental ways: creating and supporting each other or controlling and diminishing each other. This dynamic relationship mirrors human interactions and life, constantly evolving and shifting. We also influence the Elements; for instance, a new building can alter the energy dynamics of its surroundings, affecting the lives of the people in the vicinity.
Balancing the Five Elements in Your Home
There are no universal methods for balancing the Five Elements, as their strength and influence vary depending on the environment. The most significant Elemental impact comes from the landscape and surroundings, making it crucial to assess window and door placement—the primary entry points for Elemental energy. Before making adjustments, one must first determine the dominant Elements affecting the space and how they interact with the energy of its occupants.
