Home Feng Shui: Properly Arranging the Wen Chang Position to Boost Academic and Career Success
The Wen Chang position in Feng Shui governs academic achievement and scholarly fame. Proper arrangement can effectively enhance learning efficiency and career fortune. This article systematically explains three methods for locating the Wen Chang position and key layout points to help optimize the home study environment.
1. House Wen Chang Position: Location Method Based on House Sitting Direction
Determine the Wen Chang position according to the house's sitting direction. The specific correspondences are as follows:
| House Sitting Direction | Sitting Mountain Range | Wen Chang Position |
|---|---|---|
| Zhen (Facing West) | Jia, Mao, Yi | Northwest (Qian) |
| Xun (Facing Northwest) | Chen, Xun, Si | South (Li) |
| Li (Facing North) | Bing, Wu, Ding | Southeast (Xun) |
| Kun (Facing Northeast) | Wei, Kun, Shen | West (Dui) |
| Dui (Facing East) | Geng, You, Xin | Southwest (Kun) |
| Qian (Facing Southeast) | Xu, Qian, Hai | East (Zhen) |
| Kan (Facing South) | Ren, Zi, Gui | Northeast (Gen) |
| Gen (Facing Southwest) | Chou, Gen, Yin | North (Kan) |
For modern residences, the main balcony should be considered the facing direction. If the Wen Chang position is affected by kitchen or bathroom negative energy, use green plants to resolve it.
2. Personal Wen Chang Position: Exclusive Direction Based on BaZi
Determine the Personal Wen Chang Position based on the individual's Year Stem or Day Stem:
-
Jia Stem: Southeast (Si)
-
Yi Stem: South (Wu)
-
Bing/Wu Stem: Southwest (Shen)
-
Ding/Ji Stem: West (You)
-
Geng Stem: Northwest (Hai)
-
Xin Stem: North (Zi)
-
Ren Stem: Northeast (Yin)
-
Gui Stem: East (Mao)
Place auspicious items like a Wen Chang Pagoda, four calligraphy brushes, or an Osmanthus tree with a Golden Toad to enhance energy.
3. Xuan Kong Feng Shui Wen Chang Position: Flying Star Combination
The sector where the One White official star and the Four Green Wen Chang star fly together is the Xuan Kong Wen Chang position. "The 1-4 combination ensures distinguished scholarly fame." Proper layout can significantly improve examination luck.
4. Five Major Taboos for the Wen Chang Position
-
Avoid Pressure: No overhead beams, AC units, or pendant lights directly above.
-
Avoid Clash: Keep away from direct lines with toilets, kitchens, or doors.
-
Avoid Emptiness: Should not be left unused or placed in the exact center of a room.
-
Avoid Messiness: Keep clean and tidy, avoid clutter.
-
Avoid Darkness: Ensure ample lighting for a bright future.
5. Core Essentials for Study Room Layout
The desk should follow the "Left High, Right Low" principle. For males, the left Green Dragon side should be high and active; for females, strengthen the right White Tiger side. Keep the desk neat, with solid support behind and a bright, open space (Ming Tang) in front. Avoid backing against kitchen or bathroom walls.
