In traditional feng shui, we learn that each of the eight basic directions is associated with parts of the body, a family member, an element and more symbolism than we can explore in a single article.

When a direction within your home or work place has something deficient or distinguishing about it, you can consider who and what might be affected and often there is a correlation.

For example, the direction of North is associated with the kidneys, blood, circulation and ears. North is the water element and also symbolic of the middle son in a family unit. If someone had a missing north quadrant to their home's floor plan, we can see that one or more of the occupants might have kidney problems or another health issue connected with North.
