Feng shui in the home is said to have an influence on family relationships. Among these, the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is already sensitive, and when there are feng shui issues in the home, it can create even more tension in this relationship. According to feng shui beliefs, the mother-in-law belongs to the southwest corner, which is the southwestern part of the home. If the southwest corner of the home has the following feng shui problems, there is often disharmony between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Water in the Southwest Corner
If the southwest corner of the home is depressed, has stagnant water, a leaking faucet, or houses an aquarium, water plants, etc., then the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is often not good. In this case, there are often conflicts between them.
Remedy: Place a glass sphere under the water feature to improve the conflicting situation.
Windows in the Southwest Corner
Windows in this position serve as ventilation points and also create air currents, which can result in energy loss and create gaps that cause conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Therefore, according to feng shui beliefs, this area should not have windows.
Remedy: Place a water feature (miniature waterfall) next to the window.
Beds in the Southwest Corner
Placing the bed in this corner signifies a heavy burden on the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Therefore, it needs to be reconsidered. This issue creates constant tension and pressure, leading to arguments and stress.
Remedy: Place a soft mattress pad under the feet of the bed or move the bed to a different position.
Bathroom or Cluttered Room in the Southwest Corner
When there are objects that create clutter, such as bathrooms or miscellaneous items, in the southwest corner, the energy in the home becomes chaotic, resulting in suppressed conflicts.
Remedy: Keep this area clean. If it’s not possible to move the room or bathroom, regularly clean and ventilate the area, install windows for ventilation, and enhance the area with natural aroma oils to create a clean and balanced atmosphere.
Mother-in-law’s Room Facing Daughter-in-law’s Room
In feng shui, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are two sensitive positions, so if their bedrooms face each other, it symbolizes confrontation and makes it difficult for their relationship to harmonize. Therefore, it is essential to avoid having the mother-in-law’s room directly facing the daughter-in-law’s room.
Remedy: Arrange the rooms so that the mother-in-law’s room does not directly face the daughter-in-law’s room. If it’s not possible to change the house structure, use a folding screen in the daughter-in-law’s room and hang a five-coin string at the entrance of the mother’s room.
Sofa Not Against the Wall
A sofa not against the wall is a feng shui arrangement that is not favorable, as it represents instability. This can give family members a sense of unease.
Remedy: Place the sofa against the wall and avoid placing large mirrors or chandeliers above it.
Sharp-edged Furniture and Objects in the Home
Furniture such as tables and chairs, plates, etc., with sharp edges, create sharp energy, making people easily irritable and prone to disharmony. This can lead to suspicions and self-doubt between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Remedy: Round the edges of tables and cabinets. Use round plates instead of square plates. Avoid using furniture or decorative items with sharp edges or odd shapes.
In addition, creating a healthy and relaxing energy within the home can be achieved by adding green plants, incorporating water features, ensuring the kitchen doesn’t directly face a mirror, and keeping the kitchen away from water sources.
The relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is already sensitive, so each person should reduce their selfishness and view the other person in a more positive light to improve the relationship.
