If you are having trouble being inspired then your problem might be symbols of fire or a real fire somewhere in your Western sector. As the Western sector is ruled by the metal element this is not the place to put candles, a fireplace or a stove. This is because according to the Cycle of Destruction, fire destroys metal (and thus your creativity and fertility.) If you do find that your hearth or stove is placed against the Western Wall of your home then you can remedy the situation by placing a mirror above the mantelpiece or near the stove. Mirrors symbolize water in feng shui so the metaphor would be “putting out fire with the water.”

  

Another issue for the western sector is triangular or pointy objects. Round objects best nurture creativity.

  

Triangular or Pointy Objects: Since these shapes represent fire, it’s best to leave them out of the equation. Round objects suit this sector best.
