 The Southeast is ruled by the Trigram Xun ('the Gentle'), which represents the changeable and penetrating nature of Wind. It is one of the I-Ching's organic pairs of opposites; the other being Thunder (Chen). In Nature, Xun is the principle of constant movement — not the bursting forth of Thunder, but the more gentle movement inherent in organic growth, which reaches its peak in Early Summer. In human nature, it is symbolic of our ability to respond to and assimilate stimuli — and in ways that contribute to our emotional fulfillment and inner development. Improving this direction in the home fosters communication and affection, as well as intuition and creativity. As the sector of luck and prosperity, it is also thought to have the power to bestow blessings. When activating your home for prosperity.

Symbolism work in three ways, first it energizes the wealth sector, second, it is way of showing the universe what you want and third, it is a subconscious reinforcement that you have goals and dreams which you can work hard to achieve. Hang Artwork in the SE that incorporates what you consider symbols of prosperity for example depictions of money, coins, jewels, expensive cars, mansions, exotic travel locations etc. You can also choose artwork according to the season of the SE which is spring so include images of lush foliage, growing trees, and blooming flowers. If you cannot add real water to the SE then images of rivers, lakes, streams, waterfalls or a calm ocean scene work also. Artwork with homeless people or barren landscapes like desserts should be avoided. Use wooden frames (increases wealth) and avoid metal frames (destroys wealth).
