Does Feng Shui Work in All Countries?

In order to answer this question, we have to know the development of Feng Shui in China and its major theory used.

Feng Shui was developed in the Central China.  Most of the Feng Shui techniques are based on the Bagua. Each direction in the Bagua is assigned to one of the 5 Elements. North belongs to Water, South belongs to Fire, Northeast and Southwest belong to Earth, West and Northwest belong to Metal, East and Southeast belong to Wood.

Such assignments are in fact based on the geographic nature of China. China is in the north hemisphere so that the northern part of it is cold and the southern part is hot. This explains why North is Water (being cool) and South is Fire (being hot). Therefore, only the countries in north hemisphere have the same nature.

Both the Northeast and Southwest part of China are consisting of high mountains, including the famous Mount Everest in Tibet and the Changbai Mountain in Northeast China. This is why Northeast and Southwest are Earth (have many mountains)

Xinjiang is located in the west and northwest parts of China, where it has large deposits of minerals. This is why West and Northwest are Metal (being metal mines).

The eastern and southeast parts of China are the major agricultural areas. This explains why East and Southeast parts are Wood (have many plants).

I cannot say other countries or regions do not have such characteristics, but I can say that at least the Province of Ontario fits all of those characteristics and I am lucky to be here to apply the Feng Shui.
