In oriental cultures, having healthy and numerous children is a guarantee for support and help at retirement age and, philosophically speaking, genus immortality. In the compass school, it is the West's direction, and according to the Lo-Shu quadrant, it is number seven.

In Feng Shui, some interrelations may not be seen immediately, but they exist. For example, if a family has no children yet, they must potentiate first of all the Sector of Relationships, Love & Marriage (direction South-West); meanwhile, for the benefit of the already existing children, you must potentiate the Sector of Children.
