The Wood Element And Feng Shui

The Power Of The Wood Element

The wood element is one of the five elements in feng shui that can be easily found all over the house. It is said to have the energy of a live and healthy tree. It is more of a yang which means it is masculine and active and has less yin or the receptive and feminine.

The wood element is associated with the spring season and new life or beginnings. This element has the combines qualities of flexibility and strength.

The colours that best represent the woold element are green and brown. These strengthen the qualities of the wood element.

The energy of this element are the energies of unlimited growth, vision, abundance, survival and steadiness.

The bagua areas for the wood element are the east, southeast and south. The north, centre, northwest,
and southwest areas of your home should be well taken care of as these areas do not like this element.


To bring in the wood element in your home, you can use healthy plants, images of forests and wooden furniture.

In the productive cycle, the water strengthens the wood element and the wood element strengthens the fire element. Adding the water element allows you to have more wood energy while adding wood strengthens the fire element.

In the destructive side, the wood element weakens the earth and the metal element weakens the wood. Adding the metal can weaken the wood in your space and adding wood lessens the earth element.


Creating balance in your home means using the 5 elements evenly. Too much wood hampers your ability to make decisions or develop ideas while too little wood element gives you a feeling of being stuck in a rut.
