Design according to feng shui is the choice of position, direction, size, shape, and color in accordance with the Theory of the Five Elements and the Fate of each person. Following the Five Elements, human beings receive positive energy from cosmic nature and thereby gain health, peace and happiness.
What are the Five elements?
The Five Elements theory is the earliest material theory of mankind, which exists independently of human consciousness. The Five Elements theory according to ancient materialism theory has 5 matter that make up the world, including: Mercury (Water element), Saturn (Earth element), Mars (Fire element), Jupiter (Tree element), Venus (Metal element). They interact with each other to promote each other (mutuality) and annihilate each other (opposition)
What are the horoscopes?
This is a concept based on Bow Phi Bat Trach in the I Ching. The Palace of Destiny consists of three elements, namely, Fate (Venus, Saturn, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter), Horoscope (For Jupiter, For Venus, Against Venus, Against Jupiter, etc.), and Direction (West, East, South, North, etc.). Each person is born with their own Destiny.
Design according to feng shui is the choice of position, direction, size, shape, and color so that the Five Elements are compatible with the Destiny of a person.
Color factors in feng shui are understood as follows:
Grey corresponds to Venus
Red corresponds to Mars
Yellow corresponds to Saturn

Looking at the Theory of the Five Elements as shown above, we can understand the interaction as follows:
Compatibility: Jupiter is good for Mars, Mars is good for Saturn, Saturn is good for Venus, Venus is good for Mercury, Mercury is good for Jupiter
Opposition: Jupiter is bad for Saturn, Saturn is bad for Mercury, Mercury is bad for Mars, Mars is bad for Venus, Venus is bad for Jupiter
