Astral Health

The health and family sector of your garden in in the east sector. This area governs family relationships and health. The foilage or trees that are planted here should mainly be evergreen (as they endure renew themselves) and there should be at least one big tree as the area is symbolized by the element of big wood in the Ba’ Gua. Pine, Spruces, Juniper, Magnolia and Elder trees are especially fortunate for health.

Once again I am throwing a little bit of pagan symbolism in with my Feng shui. Purple, white and yellow are good colors for this area so the ideal flowers to plant would be irises, morning glory, violet, daisies,loosestrife, meadowsweet, and hostas.

Herbs to plant in this area include eucalyptus, catnip, purslane, tobacco, hemp lavendar, linden, scullcap, vervain, marjoram and sage.

If you want to plant produce I would plant avocadoes, rhubarb, carrots, radishes and rye.

Peace Be Still, Sam

The Phoenix died and then rose from its own ashes. This makes it an important symbol of rebirth and new hope in Feng Shui. It represents immortality and a return from death which why it is used in Feng Shui to improve health.

 
The image of the Phoenix is often found in sculptures and on posters but when it coems to assistance with health matters a fan is best. This is mainly because of portability as the fan used to be carried everywhere with an ailing person.  Nowadays you can just buy a lucky charm in the shape of the bird

 
The most auspicious places to put a Phoenix fan are by the sick person’s best or in  the center of the home which is the area  that is the universal  health sector.

 
Peace Be Still Sam
