Numbers play a very important part in the practice of Feng Shui.
There are nine numbers, 1-9 and each of them are allocated a primary and secondary location around the compass, the final number takes the central position in the original grid, known as the Lo Shu Grid, and it was set out as follows:
S
| 4 | 9 | 2 |
| 3 | 5 | 6 |
| 8 | 1 | 7 |
These nine numbers, among many other things, have an impact on the location they occupy, on each person based on their personal Kua number, on their animal signs at birth, the seasons of the year, the annual animal signs and on enhancing or exhausting particular areas to maximise personal Feng Shui practice.
The numbers and the points of the compass are as follows:
1 – North – Water - Career
2 – Southwest – Earth – Love and Relationships
3 – East – Wood - Health
4 – Southeast – Wood - Wealth
5 – Centre - Earth
6 – Northwest – Metal - Mentor
7 – West – Metal – Family Harmony
8 – Northeast – Earth – Education and Study
9 – South – Fire – Fame and Recognition
Personal Kua numbers first of all identify whether you are an East or a West group person and secondly show which four of the compass directions are auspicious for you and which four are inauspicious for you.
One thing to remember is that individual auspicious locations will likely have a different meaning to those listed above. The above list represents what is known in Feng Shui as the Eight Aspirations Formula. The exciting thing is however that the above locations, together with your own individual auspicious directions can both be enhanced to activate for any desired aspiration.
In the more advanced practice of Flying Star Feng Shui the nine numbers ‘fly’ around the compass points in a set sequence during a particular 20-year time period (the current period being from 2004-2023, which is period 8 and sees the number eight in the central position on the grid); on an annual basis (the central Flying Star number for 2012 is 6 and this joins the number eight star in the central position); and on a monthly lunar basis. Each of these numbers take the element associated with it to the square it enters. This changes the energy in each of the locations, enhancing, exhausting or destroying the resident element of an area each year.
Once you have a good working knowledge of the Five Elements (check them out at www.abundance-chi.com) you can use the numbers associated with your Kua number to maximise the aspirations important to you and suppress the negative energies of the numbers inauspicious for you.
The four auspicious locations based on your Kua number refer to your overall wealth and good fortune, your health, your love life and your education and personal growth.
In the basic practice of Feng Shui, to allow you to maximise the use of these auspicious directions it is important to discover the ‘resident’ number of each of your auspicious directions and the element relating to that area.
