"Qi
is scattered by the Wind, and gathers at the boundaries of Water"
Guo Po (276-324AD) Book of Burial
The purpose of Classical
Landform Feng Shui (Luan Tou) is to assess the natural environment; the
mountains and water; to analyse the quality of Qi in an area.
Yin Mountains create
Qi. With wind but no water this Qi will
scatter. With too much wind the Qi will
not collect. To harness the Qi it must
come into contact with Water allowing it to gather. We can then harness this Qi and direct it
towards our property and both mountains and
water are necessary to achieve this.
When the natal chart
of a property is created it is based on the date the residents move in, it
takes account of the Water Stars (facing) and the Mountain Stars (sitting) as
well as the Base Star (the dominant Qi) of each location. Each of the eight sectors (the four primary
and the four secondary sectors) have a central base star and a facing and
sitting star.
Water Stars are said
to govern wealth; it is Yang and movement, Mountain Stars are said to govern
people; they are Yin and still.
Water is influenced by the orbit of the moon and to a lesser degree the
orbit of the earth around the sun; the tides of the oceans and seas is caused
by the gravitational force of the moon and sun.
As Feng Shui is often depicted pictorially, imagine the flow of Water; Water
flows and it is this flow that governs wealth.
The 'wealth' aspect of
the Water Stars is the wealth of money and the wealth of career or business
growth.
Looking pictorially at
the image of a Mountain it represents stability and security. The Mountain is unmoving, supportive and
reliable. Mountains are created by the
magnetic pull of the stars that produce them and they are named after these
same stars. The quality of each
mountain is determined by the star that creates it. Mountains generate Qi. Some emit positive Qi, these are the lush
green mountains and some emit negative Qi, these are hard and rocky, the type
of mountains that do not foster growth.
The 'people' aspect of
the Mountain Stars covers your family tree, relationships, health, personal
attitude to life and the rank or level of achievement you aspire to. It determines the quality of your life.
In an urban
environment mountains are replaced by buildings and water is replaced by
roads. These are analysed in the same
way as the mountains and water of the natural world.
