The Northwest is ruled by the Trigram Qian ('the Creative'), which represents the immaterial world of Heaven. It is one of the I-Ching's universal pairs of opposites; the other being Earth (K'un). In Nature, Qian is symbolic of the invisible creative essence of life, and of Chi-energy. In human nature, it represents our spiritual strength and aspirations. Reinforcing this direction in the home promotes clarity, stability and productivity. As the sector that reflects the influence of friends and mentors, it is also considered to maximize the help and guidance we receive from others.

Images here may reflect the element of metal , guardian angels, spiritual leaders, mentors. It is also associated with the father figure, boss, CEO and president.
