Further to Xceptions part one, let’s look deeper
into their meanings and how they can help or hinder your Feng Shui practice.
There are some remedies that you can put in place
to reduce the negative effect of the annual afflictions of the Grand Duke, the
Five Yellow and the Three Killings so let’s cover some of these here.
Xception Number 1:
In part one we looked at the differences between
your Chinese astrological animal sign and your Group based on the Eight
Mansions Formula of Feng Shui.
As well as your four auspicious directions, the
remaining four directions are inauspicious for you. So what do you do if your Chinese
astrological animal is located in one of your inauspicious directions?
You take full advantage of its location. One of the best ways to do this is to invite
your allies and secret friend into the area.
Each animal has two allies and one secret friend
and displaying images of them in the location of your animal sign will invite
their support. This is particularly
important when your animal sign for the year is visited by conflict.
For example in this year of the Water Dragon 2012,
the Dog is the animal opposite the Dragon and the Grand Duke Jupiter around the
compass.
The allies of the Yang Dog (NW) are the Yang
Tiger (NE) and the Yang Horse (South); the secret friend of the Dog is the Yin
Rabbit (East.) Displaying their images
in the Northwest (292.6o -
307.5o) of your home or in your living area will invite their
support during a difficult year.
Xception Number 2:
Of the three annual afflictions, the Grand Duke
Jupiter (Tai Sui) should never, under any circumstances, be faced directly. His location, which is always the compass
location of the animal of the year, should be kept as quiet and undisturbed as
possible. The Grand Duke likes peace and
disturbing him will invite his anger.
Any external or internal work on your home should be delayed until he
moves otherwise you risk illness, loss and misfortune.
If your astrological animal is directly opposite
the Grand Duke, (for 2012 it is the Dog), you are in conflict with the Grand
Duke. As well as inviting the support of
your allies and secret friend you can display the image of the Pi Yao in the
location of the Grand Duke. The Pi Yao
is a celestial protector with a single horn and the face of a lion who gives
protection and can counteract and overcome any misfortune created if should you
inadvertently disturb the Grand Duke.
Xception Number 3:
The Five Yellow is the deadliest of the annual
afflictions and cannot be ignored.
This affliction is of the Earth element. When it appears in the location of your front
door it is particularly inauspicious as the very act of opening and closing the
door is activating it.
One solution is to place six Metal coins above
the door to exhaust the strength of the Earth element.
When the Five Yellow enters another Earth area
or a Fire area it is strengthened (Earth is in harmony and Fire enhances.)
In these instances its energies can be
exhausted with Metal (this can be in the form of a six-rod hollow Metal
windchime or a five-element Pagoda both of which will absorb the negative
energy of the Earth.) If the Earth
element is particularly strong it may be necessary to introduce the destructive
element of Wood into the area.
Xception Number 4:
The Three Killings always occupies one of the
four primary compass locations (North, South, East or West.)
Apart from facing the Three Killings head on, you
can introduce the exhausting element into the relevant area.
If the Three Killings is in the South (as in
2012) exhaust its energy with three crystal spheres of the Earth element.
If the Three Killings is in the West exhaust its
energy with a large bowl of Yin Water.
If the Three Killings is in the North exhaust its
energy with three green plants.
If the Three Killings is in the East exhaust its
energy with a bright light.
In addition if the area housing the Three
Killings is important to you (if it is one of your four auspicious directions)
you can also display three Chi Lins (Dragon Horses) in that area to exhaust the
negative energy created.
Next time – Yin and Yang
