In Feng Shui, it is said that the sky is round and the earth is square. A house should be square to conform to the principles of Feng Shui, which is conducive to stable fortune. Each orientation of the house corresponds to the health and fortune of every member of the family.
Nowadays, many friends living in urban buildings often encounter situations where there are missing corners in their houses due to developers’ lack of understanding of feng shui or failure to carefully consider the layout. Some friends feel that after living for several years, there is nothing wrong. Or when problems occur at home, they simply don’t think in this regard. Little do they know that a missing corner in a house will have different impacts on different people. If it doesn’t affect this year, it is very likely to have an impact next year. Therefore, friends are advised to take the problem of missing corners in houses seriously. Today, let’s talk about taking simple methods to resolve missing corners in houses.
First, let’s see how to judge if a house has a missing corner. The missing corner of a house is judged according to the natural orientation. You can draw a floor plan of your own house and then use a nine-square grid to cover it (see the picture above). In this way, you can judge whether your home has a missing corner. Here, it should be noted that since everyone doesn’t have a compass and it’s not easy to measure by angle, you can simply determine that if any orientation is missing more than one-third, it can be considered as having a missing corner.
Next, let’s understand what impact a missing corner in a house will have and how to take simple measures to resolve it. For a home, there are eight orientations in total: east, north, west, south, northeast, southwest, southeast, and northwest.
Missing corner in the East direction
The East direction belongs to the “Zhen” position and is associated with wood in the five elements. It is also called the Green Dragon position. Among family members, it represents the eldest son. If there is a missing corner, it will affect the life fortune of the eldest son in the family and also cause damage to the health of the homeowner. At the same time, it will also affect people who are born in the year of the Rabbit in the family. Resolution method: You can place wooden items in the shape of a rabbit or large-leaved green plants in this direction.
Missing corner in the North direction
The North direction belongs to the “Kan” position and is associated with water in the five elements. Among family members, it represents the second son. If there is a missing corner, it will affect the fortune of the second son in the family. At the same time, it will also affect people who are born in the year of the Rat in the family. Resolution method: You can place a fish tank, safe water, etc. in this direction.
Missing corner in the West direction
The West direction belongs to the “Dui” position and is associated with metal in the five elements. Among family members, it represents the youngest daughter or little girl. If there are girls in the family under the age of 16, attention should also be paid to ensuring that this orientation is not missing a corner, otherwise it will have a greater impact on them. At the same time, it will also affect people who are born in the year of the Rooster in the family. Resolution method: You can place metal rooster items such as copper roosters in this direction.
Missing corner in the South direction
The South direction belongs to the “Li” position and is associated with fire in the five elements. Among family members, it represents the middle daughter. If there is a missing corner, it will have a greater impact on her health, character formation, and even changes in appearance. At the same time, it will also affect people who are born in the year of the Horse in the family. Resolution method: You can place a red wooden horse sculpture or a wall hanging mainly in red in this direction.
Missing corner in the northeast direction
The northeast direction belongs to the “Gen” position and is associated with earth in the five elements. Among family members, it represents the youngest son. Or when the boys in the family are relatively young (generally under 16 years old), if this orientation is missing a corner, it will have an adverse impact on their fortune and health. At the same time, it will also affect people who are born in the year of the Tiger or the Ox in the family. Resolution method: You can place porcelain or earthenware items in the shape of an ox or a red carpet or wall hanging in this direction.
Missing corner in the southwest direction
The southwest is the “Kun” position and is associated with earth in the five elements. Among family members, it represents the old mother or the hostess. If this orientation is missing a corner, it will have the greatest adverse impact on her health and marriage. This orientation is very important for a family and special attention should be paid. At the same time, it will also affect people who are born in the year of the Sheep or the Monkey in the family. Resolution method: You can place porcelain or earthenware items in the shape of a sheep in this direction.
Missing corner in the southeast direction
The southeast is the “Xun” position and is associated with wood in the five elements. Among family members, it represents the eldest daughter or older girls in the family. If this orientation is missing a corner, it will have an adverse impact on her character formation, studies, and health. At the same time, it will also affect people who are born in the year of the Dragon or the Snake in the family. Resolution method: You can place wooden dragon-shaped items or peach wood carvings in this direction.
Missing corner in the northwest direction
The northwest is the “Qian” position and is associated with metal in the five elements. Among family members, it represents the old father or the male host, directly affecting the pillar of the family. If there is a missing corner, it will have a great impact on his career, wealth, and health. The male host is the pillar of a family, so this orientation is particularly important and must be treated with caution. At the same time, it will also affect people who are born in the year of the Dog or the Pig in the family. Resolution method: You can place items such as a golden pig or a copper dog in this direction.

Feng shui emphasizes “round heaven and square earth.” Only square houses can gather qi, be balanced, and stable. Once there is a missing corner, more or less it will definitely have an impact on the family fortune. It’s just a matter of the degree of impact and the timing of discovery. Therefore, for friends who are about to buy or change houses, special attention should be paid when choosing a house and try to select a relatively square house type as much as possible.
These descriptions and adopted resolution methods above are only for situations where the impact is not deep or the impact is not serious for the time being. They can only have a certain remedial effect. If there is a sluggish family fortune or the fortune and health of family members corresponding to the missing corner are damaged, it is best to invite a professional feng shui master to conduct an inspection and take targeted resolution methods.
I hope friends will pay more attention to the home environment around them and create a harmonious, comfortable, and prosperous feng shui environment that is beneficial. I believe everyone can have good fortune and prosperity.
