The first step in using feng shui to attract a partner or improve your love life is to find the relationship power spots in your home.

Once you have located these areas, feng shui cures and enhancements can activate these areas and increase your love luck.

The feng shui "ba gua" is an energy map that divides any space into eight ("ba") sections ("guas"), each of which affects a specific aspect of life. Love and marriage are governed by "Kun" gua.

Your relationship power spots are the Kun guas of your home, bedroom, and other main rooms.

In traditional Chinese feng shui, Kun gua is the southwest (SW) sector of the home.

Secondary Kun guas are the SW sector of each room within the home. Contemporary Western feng shui defines the ba gua in relationship to the entry.

Using this method, Kun gua is the area of the home or room that is farthest to the back on the right-hand side, when you stand in the doorway facing into the space.

(Always use the formal front entry to the home when you are using this method, even if you go in and out through a side or back door most of the time.)

One reason many people find feng shui confusing is that they don't know which to method to follow. With so many places within the home that might be called Kun gua, where do you place your feng shui objects?

Follow these steps to find the best relationship "power spots" in your home by combining and comparing these two methods.

• Using a compass, find the room or rooms that are located in the SW sector of your home. (If you have a floor planthat indicates North, you can use that to figure out which directionis SW.) If you have no way of confirming SW accurately, just use the doorway method.
• Stand in your front entry, facing into the home. What room or rooms are in the back of the house on the right-handside?
• Compare the rooms you identified using these twomethods. Stairways, narrow hallways, closets, bathrooms, andbedrooms occupied by anyone other than yourself should be crossedoff your list. If you identified the living room, dining room, kitchen, or any other comfortable, pleasant space, keep those roomson your list.
• Your personal bedroom will always be a good placefor romance feng shui. Put it on your list, even if it is not in theSW or right-rear area of the home. If your bedroom is in the SW orthe rear right area of the home, it is a very strong relationshippower spot for you.
• Find the relationship areas within you bedroom. First, use your compass to locate the SW area of the room. Then stand in the doorway facing into the room and locate the far corner on your right-hand side. If these two areas overlap, you have identified a very powerful relationship power spot for feng shui enhancement.
