How to Tap to the Intelligence Sector?
In order to tap to this, we can have the study room situated in this sector, study desk locating in this place, facing this direction, or simply stay more often in this sector for your study.
In the olden days, some Feng Shui masters do suggest that in order to improve academic luck, one can also place various types of writing brushes/pens or various types of writing stationeries (文房四宝) in the Intelligence Sector. Some would recommend having water-filled vase with 4 water-grown plants, like the Dracaena Sanderiana and commonly known as the Lucky Bamboo (富贵竹). Alternatively, some simply place a fish tank in this sector.
A more subtle method to tap to the Intelligence Sector
is to simply spent more time in that area.
There are also a few ways you can harness the Intelligence Sector. They are as follows:
Property’s Intelligence Sector (房宅文昌位)
This is always fixed with respect to the property. This is beneficial to the all the family’s members. The Intelligence Sector can be based on the your house's orientation conforming to Xuan Kong Flying Stars principle. For example, if your house is facing South, the Intelligence Sector of your house is generally in the Northeast.
Annual Intelligence Sector (流年文昌位)
This is dynamic, and the influential strength is stronger. However, this is a little troublesome, as the Intelligence sector will change every year. In 2015, it is in the Northwest sector, and in 2016 it is in the West.
This uses your personal natal chart details or Bazi (八字). In simple terms, it uses your Year or Day of birth. This is more popular and commonly used by people as compare to the other 2 ways. The reason is that this has a stronger effect on you as it represents you as an individual. Furthermore, you do not need to change the Intelligence sector every year.

Personal Intelligence Sector (个人文昌位)
The Personal Intelligence sector is more for people who know how to compute with their personal natal chart details or Bazi (八字).
To make things simpler, I have consolidated the Intelligence Sector based on the Year of Birth as shown below.

Example #1
If your child is born in 2004, then his or her Intelligence sector is in the Southeast sector (SE3) of your house.
To get things more personal, you can also determine your Personal Intelligence sector with your Day of Birth. Regardless of what's your computation, it is best to have your Study place/desk in the Intelligence sector. If it is not possible, you can consider using this area more often, like surf the internet with your Notebook or Tablet, reading a book or newspaper in this sector; just simply spent more time in this space.
If you are not sure, then you can still fall back on the first 2 ways; i.e. the Property’s Intelligence sector (宅文昌位) and the Annual Intelligence Sector (流年文昌位). Alternatively, you might consider seeking professional advice from a Feng Shui consultant. So till then, happy study luck…
