“If we are
facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking”
Buddhist Saying
Personal Eight Mansions is well-known
in Feng Shui. Your date of birth identifies your Gua number
which in turn identifies your four good and four bad locations.
Knowing the Eight Mansions of your
home, which takes into consideration the
distribution of energy throughout the building will determine whether you and
your home are meant for one another.
Looking
at an example of a person with Gua number 1; your personal east group locations
and directions and how you can live in a home inauspicious for you based on its
sitting direction.
Gua
number 1 auspicious directions are southeast, east, south and north; the
inauspicious directions are west, northeast, northwest and southwest. Looking at the worst scenario of your house
you would be living in a Kun House (facing northeast/sitting southwest.) In effect your house is sitting in your total
loss location. Before you run away
screaming let’s take a more in-depth look at the situation.
Remembering
that location is more important than direction, the first thing to do is
consider the internal layout of your home.
Can you arrange it such that you --- a) Have your living area in the
southeast (your best direction); b) Have your bedroom in the east (your health
direction); c) Place your kitchen in the southwest (your total loss direction)?
This
allows you the luxury of choosing which of your four auspicious directions you
face when sitting, playing and sleeping, which will in turn bring harmony and
positive energy into your life. Having
your kitchen in the southwest will press down on your bad luck (total loss) associated
with the southwest. It is important to remember
to have the stove facing one of your auspicious directions, depending on the
aspiration important to you at this particular time in your life. If bad health is an issue for you then having
the stove facing* your tien yi (doctor from heaven) or nien yen (longevity)
directions will benefit you. *The facing direction of the stove means the
direction the knobs are pointing.)
Another
thing to consider is the direction your living room door (unless you have an
open plan layout in which case it will mean the direction the entire space is
facing), and your bedroom door, face. It
is beneficial if they face one of your auspicious directions. This is inviting positive Qi into the space
each time the door is opened and closed.
So
although you may live in a house that is not in harmony with you and your
personal directions you can see it is still possible to arrange the internal
space such that it beneficial for you.
Looking
briefly at Chinese Astrology, if you are born in the year of the Sheep (SW1) or
the year of the Monkey (SW3) you will gain some benefit from the Southwest
regardless of your Kua number. Just be aware
of the annual afflictions for each year and take suitable measures to avoid
misfortune when it comes calling, in your animal location.
To the fulfillment of your dreams
