The secondary directions of the compass also contain both yin and yang aspects. As for the four cardinal directions, it is very important to study their attributes.

In the secondary directions, the yin and yang aspects are also signified by the + and – signs.

Once again, there are plus and minus sub-directions as well as positive and negative connotations to the directions. But here in the northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest (see the compass here) there is more yang than yin energy. This situation signifies a strong yin and weak yang. It indicates a young, emerging, and vibrant yin, while yang has grown old and is now tired. The distribution of yin and yang forces for all four secondary directions is therefore yin-yang-yang, or minus-plus-plus in the first, second, and third sub-directions of each sector. So, for example, in the southwest sector, there is southwest 1, southwest 2, and southwest 3. Southwest 1 is yin and southwest 2 and 3 are yang. So males should choose southwest 1 as their most suitable southwest directions, while females should select southwest 2 or 3 as their auspicious southwest direction.

This seals the yin and yang presence, which will, in turn, strengthen the balance that brings you good feng shui. Do not forget to take note of this particular fine point when you are working with your directions and the corners of you home, and especially when you are practicing the personalized directions of Eight Mansions feng shui (see Chapter 4.)

This is truly an important fine point that ensures success for you in your feng shui work. Shown here is an illustration of the compass directions with the sub-directions marked in and also the yin and yang subdirections clearly depicted. These sub-directions are referred to by advanced feng shui practitioners as the 24 mountains, which themselves contain further keys to the unlocking of advanced feng shui formulas. Now you know that this term merely refers to the three subsections of the eight compass directions.
