Bagua Ancestor

THE ANCESTOR AREA

This area relates to thunder, the planet Jupiter and early spring when all the new sprouts and buds are just bursting forth from the ground. It is associated with the element wood and the time when the energy is strongest
is between 5am and 8am. It relates to our ancestors, to whom we owe huge thanks, if it were not for
them we would not be here today. They gave us the gift of life.

It also relates to people who are in a position of power over us. This might be the landlord, the leaseholder, the bank manager, or, particularly if you have your own business, your suppliers.

Health
This area relates to the feet and the liver, so by making subtle changes in this area
you can improve your health. The liver is the 'general' in charge of defending the body,
it has the job of storing, filtering and making sure that blood flows to all parts of the body. It also transforms poisons into clean energy. The liver provides an energy that is like the morning sun. When the liver is in balance, you will be solicitous, full of spontaneous acts of kindness, cool headed, quick thinking, relaxed, clear minded, creative, progressive and willing to work as part of a team.

In the negative, when the liver is out of balance, there is violence, irritability and a tendency to make big plans without really being really clear about how you are going to achieve them. Being opportunistic, short tempered, loud, competitive and antagonistic. There is an expression that refers to people as being 'liverish' and it means being full of anger.
