The directions that a person chooses in order to go on a journey are not accidental: each side of the horizon has its own, special effect on the psychological state.
North
symbolically denotes hostility, some restraint, as well as constancy. Subconsciously, a trip to the north is perceived as a kind of test. Many peoples believed that traveling north helped to gain strength and tranquility. It is worth going there if life has been too eventful lately, a lot of effort has been spent on overcoming all sorts of obstacles, the emotional state is about to get out of control. Or perhaps you are faced with an important life choice that needs to be made.
South
in many cultures - the abode of passion, fire, which carries a dark principle. Under the influence of a hot climate, a person "lets go" of self-control and surrenders to the power of primitive instincts. A journey to the south will be useful for people who want to liberate themselves internally, relieve the accumulated tension, clamps and blocks of both psychological and physical plan.
East
symbolizes the dawn of a new life, rebirth. A trip to the east in a symbolic sense means the search for new knowledge, the desire to be enriched and purified spiritually. A trip to the east can have a therapeutic effect if a person is not satisfied with his current life, he feels mired in a routine and does not see a way out of this situation. It will also be useful to people who have experienced serious losses, defeats and losses in the recent past.
West
is a symbolic land of peace and relaxation. For the ancient peoples, the West is the land of the dead, the abode of the ancestral spirits. A journey in this direction can both spiritually enrich a person and leave him unchanged. It is useful to go west if lately you have felt life as a series of endless events that took a lot of time and effort, but did not bring tangible results, if physical fatigue has accumulated, if you need support, consolation and advice from someone elder and wise.
