Ever wonder why some mothers get tired easily, complain often, or end up arguing with their children? Check the "southwest direction" in the home, which represents the energy of the "mother." Incorrect Feng Shui placement here can directly affect mood and health.
Master Mas Kehautham revealed. According to Feng Shui principles, the southwest direction (202.5 - 247.5 degrees) is the position of "Kua Kun," representing the "mother" or the eldest woman in the household. This direction is associated with the earth element, symbolizing endurance, stability, and generosity.
If energy in this direction is blocked or unbalanced, it directly impacts the mother’s role in the family, causing stress, disobedience from children, or frequent arguments without clear cause.
Placing items with the wrong elemental energy here is like directly draining the mother’s energy. The following should be avoided:
Because the southwest is the earth element but trees represent the "wood element," and according to the Five Elements cycle, wood damages earth (wood roots break earth). This causes the mother to feel pressured, easily stressed, have negative views, or make poor important decisions.
Withering symbolizes declining energy. Dead or wilted plants here reflect the mother’s health possibly deteriorating, and may also signal problems with financial management or bad investments.
The mother’s direction must be "clean, bright, and open." If this area is cluttered or dim, negative energy (Sha Qi) accumulates, causing family communication breakdowns and making the mother feel more exhausted than usual.
Once you know what to fix, reinforcing this direction’s energy can restore family balance with simple methods.
Adjusting Feng Shui in the southwest is not just about belief but managing the environment to support the residents’ mental state. When the "mother direction" is kept clean and balanced with proper elemental energy, it reduces emotional clashes and fosters lasting family understanding.
