Month of Bing (Fire) Heavenly Stem and Zi (Water) Earth Branch

Dear Readers:

7th Dec we will be welcoming the new month of Heavenly Stem; Bing Fire 丙; it symbolic nature is Sun, and the Earthly Branch of Zi Water 子；it symbolic zodiac sign is Rat. It will start from 7th Dec to 6th Jan 2010

Like 4 pillars of destiny, each pillar is made up of a Heavenly Stem and a Earthly Branch. All together there are 10 Heavenly Stems and 12 Earthly Branches. The analysis of the 4 pillars of destiny is based on the Natal Chart of the 8 characters and the annual pillars plus the 10 years luck cycle. Nevertheless, monthly pillar also play a part in affecting the whole environment of the world and down to individual luck. New month means new energy or Qi. In the Li Chun calander, each month has 2 sub-season Qi. These Qi will affect the environment.

A Review of Last Month Energy

1. The flying star of last month repeat the Luo Shu Star; which star 5 control the centre stage. We see the uncertainty of the Flu Virus of H1N1. Some Health Authorities already declared that this flu virus is now a common flu.

2. The world is calm except for the Financial Crisis of Abi Dubai.

The Chart for this month:

This Month Flying Star

This is the month of Yang Fire on top of the Yang Water. Fire spread upwards and water flow downward, there is not unity.
1. Star 4; romance star is at the centre. The earthly Branch of the month is Rat, which is also a star of Flower of Romance for zodiac Rabbit, Goat and Pig. I guess Tiger Wood is getting into romance entaglement. Come the Tiger Year, we can expect to hear some news about his romance relationship .
2. Star 5; Yellow is at the North-West. This is a sickness star and it is supported by the annual star of 9 fire. We can expect some happening at the Northwest part of the world.
3. Star 2 is at the East, this is a black star also for sickness. It may not be that potent afterall.
4.The concern is at the Southeast, as the month star of 3 interact with Year Star of 7.
5.These 3 sectors need to be quiet with no moving activties. Renovation should not take place and also if there is opened ceremony for good occassions, these are the sectors that should not be activated.

The Heavenly Stem of Bing Fire 丙 Yang Fire

This is the start of Mid Winter and many parts of the world will be celebrating Christmas and New Year. During this time of cool weather, some sunlight is joy! Sun, syboylise Bing Yang Fire, Fire is associated with Joy. This is year end, and the sun is needed for Joy.
Those whose natal chat is cold, would like to see sunlight. Heavenly Stem of Bing Yang Fire and combined with Xin Yin Metal.
Natal Chart with Xin Heavenly steam and born in winter period, may not get to enjoy the appearance of Bing Yang Fire. The combination of Bing Yang Fire with Xin Yin Metal will transformed into Water. This will favour those who need water.

Earthly Branch of Zi Yang Water Rat 子

1. Rat is Yang Water, hidden in the Rat is the Earthly Branch of Gui Yin Water. Gui 癸 the is symbolic nature of Rain Water. Many nature needs rain water and sunlight to nuture; trees and soil. Namely, Jia Yang Wood, Yi Yin Wood, Wu Yang Earth and Ji Yin Earth. Provided that the natal chart is not too wet and too dry.
2. Rat belongs to the catergory of Flower of Romance. Those zodiac sign is Rabbit, Goat and Pig. News about romance will surfaced.
Rat, also symbolise Yang Water, this year of Chou Yin Earth Ox will combined with Rat to form Earth.
3. Those born in the month of Pig Yin Water, will have a very cold and wet month as Rat, Pig and Ox is a strong water frame. Day Master is Ji Yin Earth with wet chart is to avoid going to the sea or take part in activities like water sports. Avoid travelling to North, the hour of 11pm to 3pm and drink too much cold water.
I dare to say that Rat can create havoc for those whose chart have Rooster, Rabbit, Pig and Ox.

I wish all readers have a romantic and joyful Rat's Month.

Happy Reading, and share this article with your friends.

House Facing No Where

House with no clear facing direction affect the owner. In life, there are goals and directions/objectives. No clear facing meaning....

Refer to the picture for illustration:

I personally have this experience of taking reading for friends and clients houses, the end results are that I can't get the house facing reading from the compass. We can say that this is void, this house is facing a void direction.

There are 8 directions that a house will be facing. If a house is facing on the trigram dividers (ref to diagram - red lines), this house is facing a void direction.

How It Affects The Owner
Those living in a void direction house will slowly lost of personal direction. The owner can't make decision or cannot make clear decision. Weak determination and health will be affected. In long term, the career will be badly affected.

Hidden in Yin Water 亥 are Yang Wood 甲(10 days) and Yang Water 壬(next 20 days). Those who are born in the month of 亥 and in the first 10 days can take into consideration that wood is strong. After the first 10 days; last 20 days, water is strong.

2.Yin Water Pig clashes with Snake 巳. This is a month breaker for those born in the year of snake. That is to say do not engange or make important decision in this month; 7th Nov to 6th Dec 09.

Heavenly Stem 乙

4. The heavenly stem of Yi 乙 Yin Wood. Bazi with DM Yi Wood will not want to see another Yi woyod coming along which may be someone who come and take away or combine away something, can be wealth or friendship.

5.Yi 乙 combined with Geng 庚 earth to form Metal. Those who bazi do not favour Metal will not be in good luck.

6. In conclusion, we can say that this is a month of cold water with wood in the first 10 days. Are we going to see H1N1 will be strong for the first 10 days? Star 5, sickness star is in control, we may see some unexpected illness appear?

Hall Area Not Suitable to be too Small

In feng shui aspect, the hall if it smaller than the bedroom area, it will affects those who are living in the house.

See digram below:

Recently, a friend of my asked me why his family members when reach home, they will head striaght to the bedroom; nobody likes to stay at the hall area.

My replied to him, "Are the bedrooms bigger than the hall?" His replied, "YES!"

That is correct, this is only one of the problem. There are problems such as:
family members will interact less,
slowly,they act like independant party,
family members will not be co-operative,
and more serious, each will go their own ways.

So my advise to those whose house layout are as such, please quickly rectified it.

Enhances Romance

Romance can be relationship between a couple or single male and female who want to have better relationship with the opposite sex.

The tips covered below are mainly requests from ladies that they have encountered marital problem with their husbands. There are some important points or tips that the couple should look out for, so that their relationship with there spouse would be not affected.

As what the picture suggested, "always" and "forever". You too can be as loving as the picture suggested, below are the tips:

1. FLOWERS
First thing is to check that there are no either fake or real flowers display in your home. I understand that flowers are nice and enhance the atmosphere of the house. It is nice to look at but not to the extent that affects the relationship of a couple. That goes the same to flower vast.
Flowers invite romance. Remove them if there is any. If these are placed at the wrong sector of the house especially the NW and SW, the demages will be unbelievable.

2. ITEMS AT THE NORTHWEST SECTOR OF THE HOUSE
Check that there is no items that suggest romance at this sector. This is the sector for the Household Head or the Master of the House. Picture like sexy female posters or potraits are not adviseable. To enhance the relationshop, we can consider placing the wife or family photo.

3. MANDARIN DUCK
Mandarin Ducks, in Chinese, it is known as Yuan-yang 鸳鸯. It is a symbol of conjugal affection and fidelity.Mandarin ducks are regarded as faithful and lovely couples.
You can place a pair of man-made mandarin ducks near your bed to enhance the relationship with your life companion.

4. FLOWER PLANT OVER THE FENCE
By looking at the picture, you should be able to imaging that there are outside flowers attracting the male to go out. Outside romance. Look out for it and keep those plants tidy and trimed them regularly to prevent the flowers overgrown out of the fence.

Wishing all my readers a happy marriage and loving always and forever.

Steps to a Proper Feng Shui Bed

There are many posts regarding feng shui for bedroom in my previous post. In this post, it is mainly the selection and placing of a bed.
In a Feng Shui audit, bedroom is one of the key section/location that a Feng Shui Master will not overlook. One of the key factor to consider is the buying of new bed.
What to look out for when buying a new bed ?

A good bed with feng shui consideration will improves the aspect of one life, be it career, health and love.

1. THE QI/CHI
An ideal bed should have legs to raise the bed above the ground to allow the chi to ciculate undernealth the bed. This will assists in healing and helps to improve the health of the person who sleep on the bed.

2. NO STORAGE OF ITEMS UNDER THE BED
Chi need to circulate undernealth the bed. If there are items under the bed, the chi will not circulate, thus causing bed health. No sharp objects, like metel etc.

3. SPACE AT BOTH SIDE OF THE BED
Placing of bed also needs to consider the landform. Both side of the bed should be equal and balance. No items higher than the bed head should be placed directly next to the bed, in order not to cause harm to the couple sleeping on the bed. Space at both side of the bed will allows the chi to flow.

4. MATTRESS SIZE
A queen bed is prefferred over a king size bed. Mattress should be in one complete piece. Never use two mattress side by side in one bed. This is will suggest a seperation for a couple who sleep together in this bed.

5. HEADBOARD and FOODBOARD
All bed should have a firm and stable headboard. Some headboard are made of rods and some are split in the middle (modern design), these type of headboard should be avoided. A firm, stable and solid headboard will provides protection to health and relationship. There is not necessary to have footboard.

Have a good and healthy sleep, wake-up feel energise.

SHAPE OF LAND

The quality of the house depends very much on the shape of the land where the house sit. Like an apartment, the shape should be either square or rectangular. Private property also needs to have a good land shape to support it quality. Preferably,the shape should be flat, wide and regular. Irregualar shapes will affect the quality of the house.

In this post, I would like to point out two type of land shapes that are bad for the house.

Firstly, let us take a look on the shapes of the house of these two pictures.

Picture 1 shows a house front is straight but the back left or right are either short or long at one side of the land. Such land will affect the male if the left is short and the wife or children if the right is short. The problems will be loneliness and caused harm to the person who are affected.

Picture 2 shows a house front is wide and the back is narrow. For this type of land, it will affect the wealth and health of the person staying in the house. This can be applicable to apartment as well.

I hope these tips will provide you with basic knowledge in selecting a house.

AVOID TOILET AND KITCHEN IN THE CENTRE OF THE HOUSE

Centre of the house is like the heart. An impotant point to take note of is before commit to buy a house, check that the toilet and the kitchen is not situated at the centre of the house.

In acient time, before building of the house, the Feng Shui master will advise on the Sitting and Facing of the house that is to be build.

As regard to the where the toilet and kitchen, it is important factor to be considered. Avoid toilet and kitchen to be at the centre of the house.

See below picture:

1. Kitchen is not suitable to be at the centre of the house, this will caused "Yang Sha at the heart". It will affect the mood of the owner. The owner will be hot temper and emotion will be up and down, "mood swing".

2. Toilet is not situable to be at the centre of the house, this will caused "Yin Sha at heart". This will caused the owner to suffer cronic desease, for example, stomach sickness, high blood pressure problem, which is difficult to cure.

Either the toilet or the kitchen or both are not suitable to be at the center of the house. These will cause bad luck to the house.

Avoid also the main door either face the toilet or the kitchen. Depending on where the location it, it will affect the person it represent in that location. For example, if the affect sector is at the East, it will affect the health and wealth of the eldest son. East sector belongs to the eldest son.

In conclusion,

1. Both toilet and kitchen in the centre of the house is the most inauspicious.

2. Toilet door or the kitchen door directly faces the main door is the next inauspicious. See picture below:

Now that you already know this useful tip, try not to commit this mistake.

Excel in Exam With The Correct WenChang Location

Final year exam season will be starting after the mid-year school holiday. This is going to happen in sometime early Oct. It will be the busiest time for the students taking the exam. Not only are the students busy with their study. Their parents will be the worried lot. Many time the children work very hard for their exam but the result turn-out to be a disappointed one. Knowing that their children stay in the study room throughout the day, and how come the result is the reverse. The parent will be in doubt of their children. If so, we need to examine whether the study room or desk is located in the WenChang sector.

In Yang Feng Shui 阳宅, if the study corner or desk is not sitting in the WenChang location, the end result can be a disappointed one. Therefore it is imperative to find the Wenchang sector of the home to excel in exam.

There are 3 methods of locating Wenchang sector based on Individual birth year, the house sitting and facing and lastly, the yearly star.

The above chart is based on Individual Birth Year, and it is correspond to the Heavenly Stem of the Chinese Lunar Year calculation. For example, those born in 2009, the Heavenly Stem is Ji Chou 己 丑， 己 which is 9, the WenChang location is at the NorthWest more North. This method of finding the location does not take into consideration the sitting and facing of the house.

The above chart shows the house sitting and facing. Based on house sitting to find Wenchang location. To find the house sitting and facing we need a compass for the measurement.

The 3rd method of finding the WenChang location is based on the yearly flying star. Yearly flying stars not only use for locating the yearly WenChang location, the stars also affect the fortune of individual house. Wenchang stars will move each year to enhance the strength of Wenchang, for example, year 2009 ”Ji Chou", the Year of the Ox , Wenchang stars in the South, placed the study desk or enhance it with the WenChang Feng Shui placement, it helps in the academic results and also in promotion. This location is to keep clean and tidy and brighten it up with lamp.

Wishing you academic success!

Placement of Ship and Boat

Many people believe that placement of feng shui ornaments will bring them good luck and wealth. Some ornaments even come in a form of art or poster, these arts or posters will have auspicious poem written onto it. This post, I am touching on the placement of ship or boat for smooth sailing.

There are many factors to consider for placement of feng shui ornaments. We have to take into account the 5 elements interaction. We have to consider the type of ornaments and it implication and meaning. For example, if you look at the above picture, this ship is place on top of a pink cloth, do you think this makes sense? Red represent Fire, how can a ship be on fire! To harmonise the whole ornament, it should be place on a blue cloth.

Normally, we present auspicious items like ship with the wording "Smooth Sailing" in chinese is "一帆凤順“, to someone and we don't know the implication behind it, what we will know is that this is a well wishes and auspicious gift.

Come to placement, we have to understand it effect so that it will bring us auspicious Qi. Firstly, we have to identify that the ship does have a ship head and a ship end(bow). We know the ship head, for us to place the sailing direction.

Sail in our sail out? A ship with full of treasure, like the one in the picture should sail-in, because the ship is loaded with all the treasure already and we do not want the treasure to be brought out of the house, right?

Likewise, for poster with ship, we also need to place it in the correct direction. For poster of ship, we need to have water or cloud to signify that the ship is in sailing position. A empty boat or ship, should place it sailing direction out of the house, this is to signify that the ship sail-out to bring in all the treasure.

Those who need water as their favourable element can also make use of ship and boat to signify a pool of water. Further to that, knowning how to write your wishes and place in a red packet then put on the ship will also one of the way to sail-in your wishes to come true.

If you have any further queries to this post, I would like to invite you to join the FENGSHUI-BAZI group to learnt more about Feng Shui and Bazi.

Month of Yin Earth over Yin Fire

Early Summer will arrive on 5th May 09 at about 1739 hrs. We will see a different Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch. It is also the 4th lunar month or also known as Snake Month.

Heavenly Stem of Ji(己)is like garden earth or Yin Earth, it is soft and fertile for plants. The Earthly Branch of Si(巳)is the zodiac sign of snake, it element is Yin Fire. This Pillar of Yin Earth/Yin Fire, we can interpret as this pillar is in harmony, Fire give birth to Earth.

Thou we are welcoming early summer, this Yin Fire is not that strong yet until mid-summer. My little prediction is that the world will see some hope of better economy, but we can see unexpected events to happen in the Ji/Si month. Like my prediction in the month of Wu/Chen, Ji/Si also likely to produce some unexpected events around the world.

Wu Chen 戊辰 Month

5th April 09 is know as Wu Chen 戊辰 month.Wu is a hot earth element and chen is a wet earth.

The Hevenly Stem is Wu, is like a rock and wu is hot earth element.The Earthly branch is Chen, is the dragon of the 12 zodiac sign, which is a wet earth element.

Both are Yang Earth. Wu in number term is 5 and 0. Drangon is the 3rd zodiac sign, can be 3,5,and 0.

The 2009 element is both Yin Earth.

Month of Wu Chen will see unexpected events happening around the world.

Kitchen & Stove Positioning

The Important of Kitchen and Stove positioning In Feng Shui.

The are 3 most important parts of a house that affect the whole Qi and Harmonise of the house.

Simply put it that the Main Door, the Bedroom and the Kitchen are the heart of a house. Any of these 3 areas which does not meet the Feng Shui requirements, it will greatly affect the wealth and health of the owner staying in the house.

Below, are some good tips for the Kitchen and Stove positioning:
1. kitchen should not be in a sector where once can be view clearly from the outside of the main door.
2. Idealy, the Kitchen should not be located below a toilet or adjacent to it.
3. The kitchen must not sited at the NW sector of the whole house.(Macro level)
4. Keep the kitchen simple and do not overload it with gadgets. All knifes should be kept out of sight.
5. Place a earth pot (not too big thou), on top of the stove. The stove area should not place with metal pans and pots.
6. The stove knob should not face a toilet door or facing the kitchen door.
7.The cooker should not face the front door under any circumstances.
8. Ensure no water pipe runs directly below the stove area.
9. Fire and water should not be aligned side by side or directly
opposite the each other. Separate the two with a partition made of wood if you don't have a choice.
10. No beam above the stove area.

If all these are observed and practiced, good wealth and health should come along. However, bazi or four pillars of destiny of oneself is also important.

Using the 3 combo theory, Si+You+Chou=Metal, Metal and Wood Clashed. Wood is in the East direction. The who of East is consider the san sha location.

Is like sword fighting. To take note that this sector cannot have any renovation for the whole year. In order to soften the effect at the East, place a bundle of 3 bamboo plants. Now we have North and East sectors should not have ground breaking and renovation.

Grand Duke or Tai Sui 太岁 for Year 2009

Tai Sui太岁 or Grand Duke for 2009

Tai Sui is also known as the Grand Duke Jupiter. Although it is called the Grand Duke Jupiter, it is not the actual planet Jupiter. Tai Sui is an intangible star which moves directly opposite of the planet Jupiter. In Chinese's meaning, the Tai Sui is known as the Yearly God. Tai Sui is the most powerful "Earthly God". There is a total of 60 Tai Sui.

Each year, there would be a new Yearly God on duty looking after all matters on earth. His appointment would commence on 4th Feb 2009 at 0052hrs.The next would take over the task on the following year.Year of Ox 2009, the Tai Sui is known as General Fu You 傅佑.

Each year there will be some zodiac sign that has opposing forces with the Tai Sui. These zodiac sign are said to suffer some form of bad fortune. The negative impact differs from people to people depending on individual birth data. These zodiac sign can be determined base on the earthly branch of the year as it corresponds with the 12 Chinese zodiac sign. It can classified under offend, clash or conflict formation with the Tai Sui.Since the it is Ox Year, it will clash with Goat, and conflict with Dragon and Dog.

4 pillar of destiny or known as bazi 八字 contains factors of these zodiac sign within the earthly branch - chou 丑, chen 辰, wei 未 & xu 戌, those with these sign are also deem to be affected for the year. Thus, there is also clash, conflict and or offend of either the month, day or hour pillar.

Some Taoist believers, will go praying to the Tai Sui at the beginning of the Lunar Year seeking for protection and peace would deflect the negative influence. One must return thanks at the end of the lunar year but before the winter solstice or also known as Dong Zhi.

In Feng Shui we also use this theory.It is associated to the orientation of a premise determined using the Chinese Feng Shui Compass known as Luo Pan marked with the 24 mountains. The position of the Tai Sui changes every year. The location where the Tai Sui resides should best kept quiet with no disturbance. Activities like renovation, ground breaking, earth digging, repairing and nailing on this area must be avoided till the following year. If the Tai Sui is disturbed, misfortune would befall on the residence such as injuries, financial losses, business failure or sudden illnesses. The extend of influence varies.

This Year of Ox 2009, the Tai Sui is located at the Northeast directions. If the main entrance of a premise is located within the Northeast sector, opening and closing of door is also considered as disturbing the Tai Sui.
