SECONDARY COMPASS POINTS

FENG SHUI  8 MANSIONS

SECONDARY COMPASS POINTS

Clockwise around the compass the four secondary points are Northeast, Southeast, Southwest and Northwest.

Unlike the primary compass points of North, East, South and West the secondary sectors are hugely influenced by the element of earth. 

The Northeast and Southwest belong to the earth element and they are 'joined' by the centre which is also Earth element.  The Southeast belongs to the wood element and the Northwest is a metal element area.

The secondary sectors also contain a mix of elements, they do not have the pure Qi of the primary sectors.  As well as being an earth sector the Northeast also has water and metal influence; the wood sector of the Southeast also has some fire influence; the earth sector of the Southwest has fire and metal influence and the metal sector of the Northwest is also influenced by water.  How is this possible?  Welcome the Chinese Astrological Animals...they exert their influence wherever they appear.

First the earth element animals.  These are the Ox (Chou) in NE1; Dragon (Chen) in SE1; Goat (Wei) in SW1 and the Dog (Xu) in NW1.  These four are called the storage or graveyard animals and they each 'store' one of the remaining four elements.  Ox stores metal; Dragon stores water; Goat stores wood and the Dog stores fire.  

Ok so that doesn't explain the metal influence in the Northeast and Southwest - where is metal mined? From the earth.  Continuing on...the Northeast is influenced by water because the Ox (Chou) is an animal of winter, known as winter earth, the transition period between winter and spring.  It signifies the final month of the winter season - the season of water dominance.  Southeast is influenced by fire because the Snake (Si) resides in SE3 and is the first of the animals of the summer months - hence fire.  The Southwest is influenced by fire because of the Goat (Wei).  Whilst it is referred to as 'summer earth' it is the third and final month of the summer season, hence the influence of fire.  The Northwest is influenced by water because the Pig (Hai) resides in NW3 and is related to the first month of the winter season when water is the dominating factor. 

Oh boy, so much to take in.  Let's leave the elements for now and have a look at the numbers of the secondary directions.  

Northeast has the number 8 White Star at its heart, the Southeast has the number 4 Green Star in residence, the Southwest has the number 2 Black Star at its heart and the Northwest has the number 6 White Star as its inherent influence.  These even numbers are yin.

The family members associated with these secondary direction are youngest son in the Northeast represented by the mountain and a time of waiting and preparation.  The eldest daughter of the family has a home in the Southeast and is represented by wind and movement.  In the Southwest the mother or eldest female of the family reigns supreme and she signifies stability and nurturing aspects of the earth.  The father or eldest male of the family is king in the Northwest represented by Heaven and leadership.

CARDINAL COMPASS POINTS

FENG SHUI  8 MANSIONS

CARDINAL COMPASS POINTS

Clockwise around the compass the four cardinal points are North, East, South and West.

The Five Elements of Feng Shui are said to be 'all that is'.  These elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.

The cardinal points of North (N2), South (S2), West (W2) and East (E2) contain only pure elemental Qi.  Water in the North, Wood in the East, Fire in the South and Metal in the West. 

Are they all created the same?  The answer to that would be 'no'!

North contains water, South contains fire, West contains metal and East contains wood.  Notice anything significant?  These opposites also happen to represent the controlling cycle of the Five Elements, hence the water of the North controls the fire of the South and the metal of the West controls the wood of the East.  Oh that it were so simple!  Welcome Yin and Yang.

Yang water cannot control yang fire because yang fire is the sun, the source of our existence.  However, yin water, the water of mist, fog, clouds and so on can exert some control over the sun in as much as it can hide it from our view.

Yang metal, the hard and hewn metal turned into machinery and axes for example can certainly wield force and control over yang wood (wood of tall majestic trees of the forest) yet would find it hard to do anything more than bend and flatten yin wood.  This is the wood of grasses and ivy, wood that is more than capable of taking over anything it comes into contact with given time. 

The four cardinal compass points also represent what is termed Peach Blossom (Tao Hua) Stars.  Each person has a specific Peach Blossom Star depending on their birth date.  Peach Blossom refers to how attractive, likeable, popular and approachable a person appears and is not the be all and end all when it comes to looking for love.     

The Chinese Astrological Animals of the Peach Blossom Stars are the Rat (North), Rabbit (East), Horse (South) and Rooster (West).

The numbers associated with the cardinal directions are 1 in the North, 3 in the East, 9 in the South and 7 in the West, all odd numbers hence all yang.

In terms of the seasons North represents the dark days of winter, East belongs to the awakening season of spring.  South opposes the North and brings us to the light, bright days at the height of summer and West moves us gradually through the year into the cooler and changing days of autumn.

This is only a small part of the significance of the cardinal compass points.  Consider times of the day, member of the family, health, colour, shapes and much more.  These are also part of the rich tapestry of the compass points when working with Feng Shui...and we have yet to look at the remaining sectors or the element of earth.

ANNUAL AND MONTHLY CLASHING STARS!

FENG SHUI  8 MANSIONS

ANNUAL AND MONTHLY CLASHING STARS!

What effect do the Annual and Monthly Flying Stars (numbers) have on each other when they meet in a Palace of the Luo Shu Grid?

Flying Stars Feng Shui sees these stars 'fly' between Palaces in 20-year,  Annual and Monthly cycles.  This flight even goes down to Day and Hour cycles however these are generally only used for very specific requirements. 

The flight follows a set sequence as such:

Centre->North West->West->North East>South->North->South West->East->South East->Centre.

Remember South (9) is at the top centre and North (1) is at the bottom centre.

Each of these stars represent one of the Five Elements and how they interact will influence the Element of the sector which is identified by superimposing the Luo Shu Grid over a plan of your property. 

Star 1 represents Water, Stars 2, 5 and 8 represent Earth, Stars 3 and 4 represent Wood, Stars 6 and 7 represent Metal.

Supposing Annual Star 1 moves into the East and the Monthly Star 2 pays a visit, what are the effects?

The East is a Wood location and when the Annual Water Star 1 enters it 'feeds' the Wood.  If Earth Star 2 enters as a Monthly Star we have some work to do.  Wood controls Earth in the Controlling Cycle of the Five Elements and Earth controls Water.  It is this combination we need to focus on.  An Earth and Water combination of Stars can produce muddy water which may influence the health of the residents of an East Palace.  However the time of year will have a bearing on how much of an issue this may be. 

If this combination occurs during the Winter season Water and Wood are strong and Earth is hard therefore unable to exert its influence.

If this combination occurs during the Spring season Water becomes weak, Wood is strong and Earth is hard.  It is rather like a stalemate, one element will have difficulty influencing another.

If this combination occurs during the Summer season its all change.  Water cannot feed the Wood as it is trapped in Summer, Wood is weak and Earth will reign supreme.  This is one time when Water and Earth could combine causing potential illness for those in the East of a property.

If this combination occurs during the Autumn season Water again becomes strong and Earth becomes weak so illness could still result .  Wood will be ineffective against Earth.

It is always a combination of the innate Element of an area combined with the elements of the Annual and Monthly Stars that are considered before making any conclusions.

WHAT ARE FENG SHUI COLOURS?

FENG SHUI  8 MANSIONS

Feng Shui colours are included in the Ba Gua as a means of identifying the Five Elements.  Water is black and blue, Wood is green (jade green and forest green in the East representing the strong and upright image of trees and the lighter, brighter Spring Green in the Southeast representing grass, ivy and flowers), Fire is red and orange, Earth is yellow and ochre and Metal is grey, white and gold. 

Is this significant in the practice of Classical Feng Shui?  

Classical Feng Shui makes no mention of colour, it is the elements associated with shapes and their effect on the Feng Shui of a building that have more significance.

There is no doubting that colour does have an effect on us.  Some colours inspire us and some make us feel warm or cold, happy or sad, extrovert or introvert.  However this is more of a psychological effect rather than anything else.  There is nothing wrong with using colours that inspire, motivate or relax you however  doing it in the name of Feng Shui is somewhat misleading.  In addition, not everyone likes every colour.  If you practice Contemporary Feng Shui and you feel it is necessary to display a certain colour because it is relevant to an area how is that going to make you feel?  The purpose of Feng Shui is to make you feel good about your life and your living space, using a colour you dislike is unlikely to produce the desired effect.

From another perspective, if you are having a Feng Shui Consultation and it is recommended you paint your main door or your living space a certain colour is that it?  Will that colour be relevant for all time?  When the Qi changes will that colour still be auspicious?  In the practice of Flying Stars Feng Shui the numbers (known as stars) 'fly' from sector to sector in the Luo Shu Grid, does that mean you have to change the colour to match the star number? 

When there is an excess of one element in a particular location a Consultant may recommend displaying a certain colour as a piece of artwork or a wall hanging and even a lamp shade.  However this is likely to be a short term 'fix' and because it is mobile can easily be moved once the Qi moves on.

Qi (energy) is constantly in motion, it is constantly changing.  From long term (20-year period) to short term (annual, monthly, daily and even hourly)the elemental Qi will be different.  Logically then that would mean the colours would be changing by the same degree.

Colour is an important part of our lives and our feelings about it will influence its effect on us.  To feel creative, try green; to feel uplifted choose red or pink, to feel grounded choose yellow or magnolia, to feel focused choose white and to feel meditative choose blue or lilac.  Choose colours you like and make you feel good in your living space without worrying that you will be attracting negative Feng Shui by doing so.

FENG SHUI and GUA

What is a Gua?

It is three lines one on top of the other (a trigram) with Yin and/or Yang characteristics.  The Yin is a broken line representing the female and the Yang is a solid line representing the male (example: ☲ Li Gua.)

In total there are eight Gua (also called Trigrams or Kua) used in Feng Shui analysis.   They are known as Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui. 

The Ba Gua consists of one of the 8 trigrams situated at the centre of each sector (Northwest, North, Northeast, East, Southeast, South, Southwest and West) and each has a multitude of meanings.  These range from a family member, body part, season, number, colour and one of the five elements.  This is by no means an exhaustive list. 

There are two Ba Gua; one is known as the Early Heaven arrangement and it is mainly associated with Yin House Feng Shui (Feng Shui for burial sites.)  Its layout represents a perfect state where everything is in balance.  There is no time or movement and no growth.

From this state of perfection the second Ba Gua was created and it is known as the Later Heaven arrangement.  The San Yuan School of Classical Feng Shui is also called the Three Cycles.  It signifies the dynamic and cyclical nature of Qi; it is Yang. The layout of this Ba Gua represents the cyclical nature of the Universe; the seasonal changes where everything is in constant motion.  It shows the movement of time.  Nothing remains static. 

The saying 'what goes around comes around' accurately depicts the influence of time and in Feng Shui a full cycle is 9 x 20 years=180 years. 

Within these 180 years there are three periods of 60 years each, further split into three 20-year periods and these are known as the Upper, Middle and Lower periods.  We are currently in the middle of the Lower period, in the 20-year period 8, when the element of Earth dominates and which represents current prosperity. 

The next period is 9, a Fire element which will commence in 2024 until 2043.  Currently this signifies future prosperity and it will complete the final period of this 60 year cycle as well as one complete cycle of 180 years.

Period 1 a Water element currently represents distant prosperity and will be the first of a new Upper Cycle, the start of the next 180-year period.

The number 8 and the number 1 are both known as White Stars and are usually auspicious.  The number 9, on its own is generally auspicious, it is a Purple Star; a magnifying star.  This means that when it is joined by other stars it will magnify their effect, whether good or bad.  The remaining stars from 2-7 are currently distant so their influence is weaker.

FENG SHUI NORTH and SOUTH

Which Way is South?

Most books and information on Feng Shui will always show the direction of South at the top, the traditional place of the North on a compass.  Does this alter directions 180⁰ when applying Feng Shui?  The quick answer is of course, 'No!'  North is North and South is South wherever in the world you live and North is always based on magnetic North. 

Feng Shui practice works according to the Five Elements, Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams (each one representing a member of the household as well as points around the compass.)  

In the Early Heaven Arrangement of the Ba Gua the sequence is based on a state of perfection with each opposing trigram creating balance. Qian (male, power, authority and pure Yang) is placed at the top while still representing South and is directly opposite Kun (female, yielding and pure Yin) placed at the bottom and signifying North. 

So why have South at the top?

Qian represents Heaven, space, light, the sun and above while Kun represents Earth, dark, night, stillness and below, together they are in complete harmony. 

The Ba Gua of the Later Heaven Arrangement was created to reflect the constantly changing conditions on earth formed by the movement of earth around the sun.   

In the cycle of the Later Heaven Arrangement the South represents Li Trigram which in turn represents fire; mid-summer and midday; the hottest and the most Yang times.  The Fire element rises, it moves upward and outward.  In contrast Kan Trigram is water; it is mid-winter and midnight; it is cold and darkness; the time of maximum Yin.  The Water element flows downward.

Whether it is the Ba Gua of the Early Heaven or the Later Heaven Arrangement they naturally gravitate towards showing South at the top and North at the bottom.

Feng Shui and Flying Stars

"In addition to the Flying Star Chart of a home there are annual, monthly and daily Flying Stars.  These 'fly' from sector to sector in a set pattern which is known as the Lo-Shu Path."

Feng Shui practitioners and enthusiasts are aware that every year there is a change in energy caused by Stars 'flying' from one sector to another.

This Lo-Shu grid shows the original location for each of these Stars which also represent one of the Five Elements.  1 is Water; 2, 5 and 8 are Earth; 3 and 4 are Wood; 6 and 7 are Metal; 9 is Fire. 

It is the flight from one sector to another that affects the quality of the Feng Shui of any property and its occupants.  It also affects the energy on a larger scale which is why some parts of the world have better fortune in certain years than others.

Knowing the interaction between the Five Elements allows you to better understand why some areas are positive in a particular year and some areas are negative.  As an example, the combination of Wood and Metal is a controlling one and while the level of that control depends on many factors, it creates conflict when they meet in a sector. 

Annual and monthly Flying Stars (daily Flying Stars are generally used for specific purposes such as Date Selection) are short term, you know there will be an end to the good or the bad.  The Flying Stars of your individual property based on its completion date is long term.

In addition to the nine Flying Stars there are also annual stars (both good and bad) that visit certain sectors.  Stars like the Dragon Virtue; Fortune Virtue; the Sun and the Moon fly into an area to bring specific types of assistance to the residents.  The Sun Star, being Yang, is particularly helpful to males and it can ease the effects of having inadvertently activated one of the negative Stars.  The Moon Star, being Yin, is particularly helpful to females and can help with communication. 

The 3 Killings, the 5 Yellow and the Grand Duke Jupiter are well-known negative Stars.  The 3 Killings, when activated, brings with it three different types of negative Qi and each year it resides in one of the primary compass locations.  The 5 Yellow, when activated, brings with it five types of misfortune such as general bad luck or at its most malevolent, serious health or relationship issues.   The Grand Duke always occupies the location of the animal of the year affecting the fortunes of the animal directly opposite around the compass.  For example in 2014 the Grand Duke occupies S2 (Horse) making N2 (Rat) exposed to his displeasure.  In 2015 the Grand Duke will reside in SW1 (Sheep) making NE1 (Ox) vulnerable.

Feng Shui and Flying Stars (Xuan Kong Fei Xing Formula)

So what are Flying Stars in the context of Feng Shui?  Flying Star Feng Shui or Xuan Kong Fei Xing is one of the more advanced Formulas of Feng Shui.  'Xuan' means time; 'Kong' means space and 'Fei Xing' refers to the cyclic changes of time and space.  Flying Stars focuses on the dimensions of time and space and how universal energy is constantly in motion.

Flying Star Feng Shui encompasses the Five Elements of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal, balance of Yin and Yang, and the original numbers of the Lo Shu Grid (1-9) as well as the eight Trigrams and 24 Mountains.

There are nine 20-year Flying Star periods resulting in one complete cycle of 180 years.  Each period has different associations and meanings.  We are currently in period 8 (2004-2023) which is an Earth period.  Period 7, a Metal Star whose home location is the West, representing the youngest daughter (Dui) and the lake, placed focus on accumulating wealth.  As an Earth Star period 8 signifies a change in energy to one of creating stability, nurturing and support.   Its home location is the Northeast,  representing the youngest son (Gen) and the mountain as well as the number 8, a White Star signifying current wealth.  The number 7 is a Red Star, auspicious during period 7 and extremely inauspicious during period 8 reverting to its natural state as a Star of Violence and Robbery.

There is a Flying Star Chart for each individual home.  This Chart identifies the Qi of the property on completion and moving in date.  So any home built and completed between 1964-1983 is a period 6 home; any home built and completed between 1984 and 2003 is a period 7 home and any home built and completed between 2004 and any time up to 2023 is a period 8 home.  This Chart has a Base Star in the centre of each of the nine grids as well as a Facing and Sitting Star for each sector.  The Facing Star sits in the top right hand corner and it represents career and wealth.  The Sitting Star sits in the top left hand corner of a sector and it represents individuals and health.

During our current period 8, and regardless of the period when the home was completed, identifying where the number 8 Facing and Sitting Stars are located and activating them can help the occupants with their desires and aspirations.  Forgetting to do this and continuing to activate the number 7 Star will have negative consequences for the residents of a property.

In addition to the Flying Star Chart of a home there are annual, monthly and daily Flying Stars.  These 'fly' from sector to sector in a set pattern which is known as the Lo-Shu Path.

Feng Shui and Chinese New Year

After the excitement of the Christmas and New Year holidays January brings with it a time of quiet, stillness and dark in the Northern Hemisphere.  This is the time of 'Lesser Cold' January 6-January 20 and the time of 'Greater Cold'  from January 21-February 3.  These are the final two seasons of the Solar Calendar Year before the Earth starts to awaken from its winter sleep.

Rather than bemoan the weather, whatever it may be, enjoy each moment and remember that as well as celebration at the start of January there is another celebration at the end of the month; Chinese New Year.  Worldwide more and more major cities are embracing the Chinese culture of welcoming in a new year.  While most do not carry the celebrations through the 15 days of Chinese cultural tradition, which this year runs from January 30 to February 14, they certainly enjoy and participate in parades, Dragon dances, fireworks and firecracker displays arranged in and around the vicinity of Chinatowns in cities across the world.

Chinese New Year begins on January 31 four days before the 'Start of Spring' in the Solar Calendar and most of the celebrations are due to take place on February 2.  The date of Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival as it is also sometimes known, varies each year and is based around the Lunar Calendar.  The Lunar New Year in 2014 begins on January 30, which is New Year's Eve, with a new moon and the start of the first lunar cycle of the year.  The New Year is decided by the start date of the second lunar cycle after the Winter Solstice (December 22-January 5.)

Feng Shui is all about Qi; the energy that is our very existence.   A new year in Feng Shui is identified by one of the 12 Chinese Astrological Animals and one of the Five Elements with either Yin or Yang aspect.  In 2014 this will be the Year of the Yang Wood Horse.  Once the Year of the Horse begins so does a change in the Qi in our environment; both external and internal.  A location that has good and auspicious Qi in the current year of the Yin Water Snake can become bad and inauspicious depending on the quality of the Qi moving in. 

Using the numerology of Flying Stars and an interpretation of their movement it is possible to determine what is good and what is not.  Knowing your personal Kua number and your good and bad locations  as well as your Chinese animal sign at birth will help you determine how your fortunes will fair in a year that will be heavily dominated by Yang Fire.

Feng Shui and Five Elements Harmony

At first glance two of the three cycles of the Five Elements, the Exhaustive and the Controlling Cycles, seem to fly in the face of living in harmony with the Chi Energy permeating our existence.

And the Controlling Cycle gives the impression we use placement in Feng Shui to destroy the Energy in our environment.

A more accurate way of interpreting the Controlling Cycle is as a ‘blocking energy’ or a ‘controlling power’ rather than a ‘destructive’ force.  After all our ultimate aim is to live in harmony with everyone and everything so it is neither our purpose nor our right to ‘destroy.’

How and why is the Controlling Cycle necessary? How and why do all the elements interact the way they do?

To reiterate, the Controlling Cycle is as follows:

Water extinguishes Fire

Fire melts Metal

Metal destroys Wood

Wood weakens Earth

Earth controls Water

In our modern world the solid structures that are our homes and offices, together with the infrastructure that allows us to move quickly and easily from one place to another are built for practical purposes with less thought given to the impact on Qi flow. This often results in fast moving or blocked Energy in certain areas. 

In addition colours, shapes, lights, microwave towers and so on, as well as buildings Yin in nature such as hospitals or police stations, all have a bearing on the quality of Energy we experience in our immediate environment.

Therefore, to create a harmonious and auspicious flow of Chi it is sometimes necessary for remedies to be put in place to counteract the negativity identified in and around our homes and offices.  This is where the Controlling Cycle of the Five Elements comes into play.  By introducing the element that ‘destroys’ it is possible to deflect , block or re-route negative Energy helping transform it into positive Energy by creating a flow rather than a ‘poison arrow.’

Water extinguishes Fire

Fire is sunshine; it is the light created by lightning; electricity; and it is the flames we see when we burn wood, paper and coal.

Fire is an element that has to be created.  It does not have a life of its own.

When Fire on Earth gets out of control it has to be extinguished and this is achieved by dousing it with Water.  Therefore Water destroys Fire.

However, there is a way to harmonise these two opposing elements. 

Harnessing equal quantities of Fire and Water; using Fire to heat Water or other liquids; creates a new Energy source; steam.  This important element is then used to power machinery such as turbines, engines and the humble iron.

Another form of steam comes from a natural source. Water from hot springs is heated by geothermal heat deep inside the Earth. This is the heat from the mantle of the Earth. These hot springs often have a high mineral content and are a magnet for tourists. The springs are said to provide health-giving properties because of the minerals they contain.

Fire melts Metal

Metal is a cold and unyielding element hidden deep within the Earth.  It has no life of its own.  It is mined from the Earth and harnessed in large quantities.  To change its structure it is first necessary to heat the Metal to a liquid state allowing it to be manipulated.  Therefore Fire destroys Metal. 

To transform Metal from its rough state into something useful and valuable we create Fire to melt the Metal. Once heated to a sufficiently high temperature the Metal changes structure from a solid to a liquid.   From this new liquid form it is fashioned into tools, girders and machinery; communication devices and computers; all necessary for life in our 21^st Century world.

Metal has the potential to destroy when it is fashioned into weapons. This is one element that should always be treated with respect.  So that’s the useful and the destructive side of Metal taken care of. 

However, Metal also symbolises the wealth of our world in the form of gold, silver and platinum. 

These are precious Metals representative of the wealth we exchange personally, nationally and internationally.  Jewellery is fashioned from Metal and it is used as a symbol of adornment, beauty and love. 

This is all done thanks to the power of Fire.
