The shape of the Fire element is a triangle. The life aspiration that corresponds to Fire is called the Recognition and Fame area in the South. Fire is fed by the Wood element and calmed by the Earth element.

Each Feng Shui element serves a different purpose in the home or office. The associated colors and areas that work best with each element help you to build positive energy throughout your home. Each area will be strong in a particular element and give you a certain feeling when you enter the room.
