Fuk
Luk and Sau are known as Star Gods and are regularly displayed in any Chinese home
practicing symbolic Feng Shui.
However they are not Gods in the
traditional sense of the word and are not worshipped as Gods by the Chinese.
They are symbolic of what is considered
to be the most important manifestations necessary for a long and fulfilled
life; health, wealth (in all its varied forms) and happiness.
When displayed they radiate a sense of
peace and harmony; and invite great warmth and a continuation of good fortune
for everyone in the household.
Whilst they are not regarded as divine
beings they are treated with great respect and always hold a place of
prominence in both home and office. They
are also displayed in retail outlets and Chinese restaurants.
SAU
– Is the first Star God. He is usually
seen carrying a bottle of nectar or some other representation of longevity such
as the peach.
FUK
– Is the second Star God and he is usually carrying Chinese ingots or Chinese
coins; he represents wealth and increased income.
LUK
– Is the third Star God and he represents high power. He usually holds a Ru Yi or Sceptre of office
in his left hand. His place is always in
the centre of the trio and his purpose is to invite longevity, prosperity and
power into the lives of residents.
In Chinese paintings these three
deities are often depicted with the pine tree, bamboo, crane and peach tree in
the background; all symbols of longevity.
If you choose to display these Star Gods whichever part of the home you place them they should be positioned high up, at least three
feet from the ground, and have a solid wall behind them to give them support.
Traditionally in Chinese homes they are placed in the
dining room facing the table. This
brings family blessings and harmony whenever the family gather together to dine.
However it is also auspicious to
display these three important deities in other areas:
At the entrance to your home – this
will invite in the aspirations you desire to experience
In your living room – in any direction
or location to bring excellent Feng Shui luck
In your family room – in any direction
or location to bring excellent Feng Shui luck
In your office – behind you as you sit
will bring you support and good fortune
Period Eight – during the Flying Star
period 8 which runs from 2004-2024 placing Fuk Luk and Sau in the East, which
is the secondary wealth corner for this period, is said to invite abundance
luck and outstanding good fortune.
To the fulfillment of your dreams
