How to Apply Ba Gua Mirror in Feng Shui

 

 

Among all the feng shui cure, ba gua mirror is one of the most popular item that has been recommend in many feng shui books and web sites. Primarily it is used to counteract the sha chi in feng shui.

 

The octagon shape represents the eight directions (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW). On the surface it has engraved with the eight gua (乾, 坤, 震, 巽,坎,離, 艮,兌) of the Early Heaven Ba Gua which represents the eight natural phenomena; namely the sky, land, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain and lake [天, 地, 雷, 風, 水, 火, 山, 澤]. Simply put, it is the combination of yin/yang, five elements and I-Ching (Book of Changes),and it is primarily used as feng shui cure item to counteract the sha chi.

 

Generally it comes in three designs, one is plain without any mirror, one come with the convex mirror and one come with the concave mirror. Each one has its own feng shui function:

 

1. Ba gua with convex mirror - this is used to reflect and dispersed the sha chi from the inauspicious luan tao facing the windows and doors of the house. For example, electrical post, T-junction road, sharp corners from other buildings and transformer tower etc., which will cause conflicts, health problems and accidents to the household.

 

2. Ba gua with concave mirror - this is used to attract and contain the chi field which is escaping from the house. For example, if the main door of the house is facing a staircase going downwards (referred as rolling water sha 捲簾水 in feng shui), this will cause the chi inside escaping from the house and will cause unsteady luck and money loss. Therefore, hanging this ba gua mirror on the top frame of the door will help to draw back the escaping chi.... :-)

 

3. Plain ba gua without any mirror - this is normally used when the entrance door is facing the yearly Tai Sui. Most of the feng shui masters will recommend using a metal ba gua in this application.

 

Guidelines to follow when hanging the ba gua mirror:
 
- Since the main purpose of ba gua mirror is to counteract the sha chi coming from the outside environment (luan tao), therefore it must only hang outside the house. If hanging the ba gua inside the house, it will cause harm than good.

 

- the correct location for hanging the ba gua mirror is at the upper middle part of either the window or door, with the proper orientation of the chien gua at the top and the kan gua at the bottom. It is not necessary to face directly at the sha chi.

 

- do not hang the ba gua mirror on the door itself, because this will obstruct the positive chi entering into the house.

 

- if there is no available space on top of the door to hang the ba gua mirror due to the house construction, the ba gua mirror can install on the two top corners of the door with one ba gua at each corner. This is referred as "arch chi rectification method" [拱氣化沖法] in feng shui which is very effective in counteract the sha chi. However, if there are space on top of the door to hang the ba gua mirror, it is not recommend to use this method together with the regular position of the ba gua mirror, as this will cause adverse effects.

 

Lastly, the ba gua mirror shall not face directly to the door and window of your neighbor, this will create conflicts and hostile relationship with your neighbors and also between the members of the household.

Well, it is the time again that I will post my annual predictions of feng shui and its remedies for the 2014 Annual Flying Stars. Before I go ahead, I wish all my readers a Healthy and Prosperous 2014, Year of the Horse!

 

Center Palace

In 2014, the annual number 4 star flies to the center palace. Since this star is referred as the scholar star in XKFSFS that means it will bring scholar luck and cultural frame.

The number 4 star is associated with the “sun” kua and this kua is related with the wind, which implies this year there will be many typhoons and hurricanes. Furthermore, since its element is wood; it will destroy the earth element of the number 5 earth base star at the center palace. This implies the opportunities of earth quakes.
Furthermore, [5, 4] combination also denotes skin, stomach, nervous system problems, breast cancer and infectious disease. I will advise readers to be careful when travelling in 2014 accordingly!

The appropriate feng shui cure to neutralize the conflicts between the earth and wood element is to place a red color carpet at the center of the house.

East Sector

In 2014, the annual number 2 star flies to the East sector. This star will cause conflicts, gossips and law suits. When it combine with the number 3 base star, [2, 3] combination is referred as “bull fighting sha”; this will cause law suits, conflicts in the family especially between husband and wife, mother and son.

The wood element of the number 3 star will enhance the energy of the number 2 earth star which will cause health problems, especially to the digestion system, skin, and hands and feet; and it will mostly affect the eldest son in the family. Therefore, it is important that every household must apply feng shui cure at the East sector of the house especially if the entrance door, bedroom door or the bed is located at this sector. The proper feng shui cure is to hang 8 old Chinese coins and a metal Wu Lo at the East area of the house.

Again, since the wood element will destroy the earth element in this scenario, this also implies the opportunities of earth quakes. Therefore, be careful when travelling to the Eastern countries.

South sector

In 2014, the annual number 8 star flies to the South sector. The number 8 star is the most auspicious star in Period Eight (2004 – 2023). This star will brings wealth, good fortune, promotion and marriage. If the entrance door or the bedroom is located in this sector, the household will enjoys good fortune without the need of applying any feng shui enhancement. For other rooms which are located at the South sector, you can place a container of water and add 6 old Chinese coins and 8 pieces of white jade in the water to enhance the positive chi of the number 8 star.
However, the 2014 “tai sui” is also located at the South sector. Therefore, if the entrance door is located at the South sector, you need to hang a metal ba gua on top of the door to counteract the sha chi of the “tai sui” star. Also, it is important to avoid any major construction works or digging of ground in the South sector, otherwise it will cause bad fortune and health issues.

West sector

In 2014, the annual number 6 star flies to the West sector. The number 6 star will brings money luck and promotions especially if the entrance door is located at this sector. In this case, you can place a water fountain beside the door to enhance the positive chi of the number 6 star.

On the other hand, with its combination with the number 7 base star, the combination [6, 7] is referred as “sword fighting sha” in Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui. This implies robbery, conflicts and accidents. Furthermore, the scenario of two conflicting metal stars also implies bone, mouth and breathing problems.

The proper feng shui cure is to place a container with water to dissipate the conflicting energy of the metal element. Also, try to avoid sharp metal objects in this sector and make certain that doors and windows are secured to prevent any burglary.

North sector

In 2014, the annual number 9 star flies to the North sector. The number 9 star is referred as the future timely star in Period Eight (2004 -2 023) and when combine with the number 1 future luck star, the [9, 1] combination will brings romance, wealth, venture and baby conceiving luck. You can place a green or blue color carpet to enhance the effects.

On the other hand, [9, 1] combination also call for eye disease or loss of money. Therefore, be caution when travelling to the Northern countries as tourists.

In 2014, the “three sha” star is located at the North sector. Try to avoid major construction or digging of ground in this sector, otherwise, it will cause law suits, accidents or operations.

In addition, the 2014 “year break” star is also located at this sector. If there is any major construction works in this sector, it will cause accidents or even death!

Thus, based on the above, besides avoiding any major construction works in the North sector, I will also recommend avoiding placing items that will creates movement or sounds in this sector.

If the main entrance is located at this sector, I will recommend placing a pair or three numbers of metal Chi Lin beside the door facing outside to counteract the sha chi from the "three sha" star.

SE sector

In 2014, the annual number 3 star flies to the SE sector. This star will bring conflicts, law suits and gossips. If the entrance door or bedroom is located at this sector, besides being cautious in words and deeds, I will recommend placing a red carpet or a red light which is always on at this sector to counteract this untimely star.

The combination of the number 3 star and the number 4 base star also implies the possibilities of improper affairs especially if the bedroom is located at the SE sector. The feng shui cure for this ill effect is to place a pair of metal Chi Lin at this sector.

NE sector

In 2014, the annual number 7 star flies to the NE sector. This star will bring thieves and robbery. Therefore, if the entrance door or windows is located at this sector, security measures are required and also I will recommend placing a container with water or a black color carpet beside the door as feng shui remedies; and avoid having too much metal element objects at this sector to counteract the sha chi of the untimely 2014 number 7 metal star.

SW sector

In 2014, the annual number 1 star flies to the SW sector. This timely star will bring career, romance and wealth luck. If the entrance door is located at this sector, the household will enjoy promotions, romance and scholar achievement.

This is also the “beach blossom” sector in 2014, if the bedroom is located at this sector, placing a cup of water beside the bed will enhance its effects.

Since the number 2 star represents skin, stomach, abdominal, ears and excretion system, the conflicts between the number 1 water star and the number 2 earth star will cause the above health issues. Therefore, I will recommend placing a metal Wu Lo or a pair of metal Chi Lin to counteract the sha chi; and at the same time it will creates a auspicious generating cycle of earth bears metal and metal carries water to enhance the number 1 water star. Another thing to keep in mind is  to avoid brown or yellow color items in this sector.

NW sector

The 2014, the annual number 5 star flies to the NW sector. Under the Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui, the number 5 earth star is the most vicious star among the 9-stars and it is very powerful in Period Eight (2004 -2023). This star will cause accidents and serious health problems in the head, mouth, and bone, heart, blood disease or even death especially if the entrance door, kitchen and bedrooms are located in this sector. Therefore, every household must apply feng shui cures in the NW sector in 2014.

The effective cure to counteract the sha chi of the number 5 star is to hang 6 old Chinese coins or a copper painting at this sector. Furthermore, it is important not to perform major construction works at this sector. For minor repair works, it must use an auspicious day and time to do it or start from other areas first.

Since the number 5 star is located at the NW sector and the NW is “chien” kua, this implies that people born in the following years with ming kua of number 6 will be affected:

For men – 1922, 1931, 1940, 1949, 1958, 1967, 1976, 1985, 1994, 2003, 2012

For women – 1919, 1928, 1937, 1946, 1955, 1964, 1973, 1982, 1991, 2000, 2009

Therefore, my advice to the above people is to avoid arguments or conflict with other people, reduce squander, working hard, mind your own business and be careful when travelling. Lastly, by wearing metal accessories will improve the luck in 2014!

The Eighty-One (81) Divination in the Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui

The Eighty-One (81) Divination of the 9-stars [雙星加會]

In Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui (XKFSFS), every star has its own characteristic, but when they interact with another star, it will create a kind of “chemical reaction” which denotes different meaning. For instance, the number 1 water star and the number 4 wood star each has its own characteristic, but when they combine together as [1,4]; it will become the scholar star [文昌星]. Furthermore, it will form the auspicious effect of water feeds wood. On the other hand, if the combination is [4, 1], it indicates that the wood is absorbing the water, and this will has the effect of licentious relationship. Therefore, when we are analysing the flying star combination, we have to keep in mind that there is the difference between its succession order and the interactions of the elements.

When we are analysing the natal chart, there are a few principles we have to keep in mind:

- concentrate on the sitting/facing flying star combinations at the facing, sitting and center palace, because the combination effects in these sectors will basically sum up the feng shui of the house

- the timely and untimely factor of the flying star combinations have to be considered when analysing their effects. Normally, timely denotes auspicious effects, and untimely implies inauspicious effects.

- the natal chart is considered as the “li chi” of the house, and the outside/inside physical environment is considered as “luan tao”. In order to predict accurately the feng shui of the house, it is important that we have to study both which is one of the most important concepts of the Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui [形理兼顧]

 

 

1 - 2

The 1 (water) star represents the middle son, and the number 2 (earth) star is the mother. Since water destroyed by earth, it denotes the son will have poor relationship with the mother and stay away from home. This combination also calls for kidney disease.

2 -1

The 2 (earth) star is related to poor health and disease. It also represents the stomach, since earth destroys water (number one star), this will call for jaundice disease. It has also the same effect as [1, 2] combination which is not auspicious to the middle son of the family.

1 - 3

When it is timely, number 1 (water) star nourish the 3 (wood) star, this call for fame and recognition. On the other hand, when it is untimely, this call for conflicts and disputes. There is also the tendency towards homosexuality.

3 - 1

Under the Later Heaven Ba Gua, number 3 (zhen) represents thunder. When timely, water nourishes wood, it will bring fame and recognition and wealth. When untimely, it will affect the eldest son in the family, the opportunity of fatal accidents on the four limps which caused disability or liver disease.

1 - 4

When timely, the combination of the 1 (water) and the 4 (wood) star indicates water nourish wood, which denotes scholar luck and recognition. As indicated in Zi bai jue (紫白訣), the 1 star was associated with wisdom, while the 4 star was associated with fame; combining with the corresponding luan tao, it denotes the members in the house will excel in exams, and gaining fame and recognition in the artistic and scholar fields.

4 - 1

When timely, it has the same effect as [1, 4] combination. Nonetheless, when it is untimely (combing with unfavourable luan tao), it denotes dissolute behaviour. For instance, if the master bedroom is located in the sector with [4, 1] combination, most likely the male household is a swinger and a fan of pornography.

1 - 5

In this scenario, the malicious 5 earth star destroys the 1 water star, this is not auspicious to the male members of the family. The 1 water star is associated with kidney, intestines and sexual organs, thus it denotes kidney problems and venereal diseases. According to the classical texts, there was a saying "山臨五黃少人丁"which translate as when the 5 earth star falls on a sector, it will affect the numbers of people living in the house. In some extreme cases, when combined with non-favourable luan tao, for example the bed of the master bedroom was located in this sector; this would affects the health of the pregnant woman and caused miscarriage.

5 - 1

This has the same effect as the [1,5] combination.

1 - 6

This combination denotes fame and recognition in the artistic fields in Period One and Period Six. However, when it is untimely in other Periods, it denotes loneliness and solitary life [水冷金寒之象] (translate as chilly water with cold metal).

6 - 1

When it was timely, it has the same effect as the [1, 6] combination. When it is untimely (the 1 water star represents romance), it indicates that the male members in the house will be prone to pornography and promiscuous behaviour. Also, since the 6 metal star is associated with the master in the house, it denotes he will suffer from head and bone disease.

1 - 7

The 1 water star is associated with liquor, and the 7 metal star is associated with young female. When it is timely, it means metal carries water which denotes romance luck. When it is untimely, it denotes dissolute behaviour, misfortune caused by arguments, and the chance of venereal disease. It will also affect the pregnant woman in the house and cause miscarriage.

7 - 1

When it is timely, it implies promotion and career advancement in military or law enforcement profession. The children in the family will have good marriage. When it is untimely, it denotes dissolute behaviour, misfortune caused by conflicts, and the chances of venereal disease. This will also affect the pregnant woman in the household and cause miscarriage.

1 - 8

When it is timely, it implies promotion and career advancement in military or law enforcement profession, and the children in the family will have good marriage. When it is untimely, it denotes loss of fortune caused by the promiscuity activities by the members of the family.

This combination indicates water destroyed by earth, when untimely, it implies that the young males in the house do not like to stay home and like to wander. Furthermore, there will also be lot of problems with ears; for example, ear infections, ears buzzing or even causing deaf.

8 - 1

When it is timely, it will produce righteous and wealthy household members. The 8 earth star represents "ghost gate", and the 1 water star represents "hidden". Thus if the sector with [8, 1] combination is dark and clutters, it will cause illusions or paranormal activities. Another scenario will be suffering from health problem, unable to sleep due to bad dreams. Furthermore the 8 earth star also represents "small stone" and the number one represents "kidney", when it was untimely, the household member will suffer from kidney stone disease. 

1 - 9

This combination is considered as" the harmony between water and fire" (水火既濟), and the sum of the two stars equal to 10 [合十], this will result in happiness, tremendous rich and famous.

9 - 1

When timely, it has the same effect as [1, 9] combination. Nonetheless, when it is untimely, it will result in divorce, health problems in the heart, kidney and eyes.

2 - 2

When it is timely, the 2 earth star is associated with fame in the medical profession. It also signifies wealth and fortune, especially in the property business. When it is untimely in the Middle and Lower Era, it signifies serious illness. This star also represents the female household, therefore the combination of [2, 2] also implies widowhood in the house and gastroenteritis disease.

2 - 3

This combination is known as “bull fighting sha" (斗牛煞), which denotes arguments, conflicts, legal disputes, fighting between husband and wife. When it is timely in Period 2, it indicates female dominance, and wealth in property. When it is untimely, it indicates a prodigal eldest son and the female household will suffer stomach disease.

3 - 2

This combination is referred as "bull fight sha" (斗牛煞) same as the [2, 3] combination which denotes conflicts and arguments, fighting in the family. It will also cause law suits and body harm due to argument with others. On the other hand, when it is timely in Period Three, it denotes good fortune for the eldest son in the house as the 3 wood star represents the eldest son in the family.

2 - 4

This combination represents wood destroys earth. Since the 4 wood star represents the eldest daughter in the family, it will cause bad relationship between the mother and the eldest daughter or the mother and the daughter-in -law. Furthermore, the household member will suffer stoke, stomach and respiratory disease when this combination is untimely.

4 - 2

This has the same effect as the [2, 4] combination. Since the 2 earth star represents the female household, this combination is not auspicious to the mother in the family.

2 - 5

Since both the 2 earth star and the 5 earth star are untimely stars, this combination call for serious disease (cancer) which will cause death, and the opportunity of experiencing natural disasters and serious misfortune.

5 - 2

In Period Two and Period Five, this combination calls for tremendous good fortune. In other Periods, it means widow in the house, serious illness and misfortune.

2 -6

This combination represents earth bears metal. Since the 2 earth star represents the female household, and the 6 metal star represents the male household, this composition of yin and yang indicates the wife will assist the husband to gain great fortune and wealth.

6 - 2

When it is untimely, it indicates widows and orphans in the family. When it is timely, it means great fortune and wealth gained from the property and real estate business. This is especially true when combing with the auspicious 8 earth  star in Period Eight,  as stated in the classical text "Zi bai jue" (紫白訣云: 二黑飛乾, 逢八白而財源大進).

2 - 7

The 2 earth star represents the mother and the 7 metal star represents the youngest daughter. The combination of these two yin stars will result in the possibility of homosexuality or improper affairs. When it is untimely, it denotes the chance of suffering from cholera and dysentery disease.

Under the Earlier Heaven Ba Gua (河圖), this combination forms the fire element. When it is timely, it will bring great fortune and wealth. When it is untimely, this will cause poor relationship between mother and daughter or fights between two females, fire hazards and serious misfortune. This effect will be pronounced if this sector is facing inauspicious water and fire element’s sha chi or luan tao.

7 - 2

[玄空秘旨:" 富近陶朱, 斷是堅金遇土"] This transcript from the classical "Xuan Kong's Secrets" stated that this combination represents earth bears metal, when it is timely in Period Seven, it will bring great wealth and fortune. In other Periods which are considered untimely, it denotes fire hazards and miscarriage.

2 - 8

This combination represents the interaction of two earth stars and their sum equal to ten (合十) which is an auspicious formation. When it is timely, it will bring great fortune in real estate business. When it is untimely, it indicates loss of fortune and family member in the house; for example, the house is inhabited by single-parent.

8 - 2

When it is timely, this has the same effect as [2, 8] combination. When it is untimely, this combination will result widowhood.

 

2 - 9

When it was untimely, the 9 fire star will bake the 2 earth star (火炎土燥). This denotes a very stubborn and stupid husband in the family. Since both stars were yin stars (too much yin energy in the house), this implies the possibility of widowhood, and eye disease. On the other hand, when it is timely, it will bring great fortune and wealth.

9 - 2

The 9 fire star represents the heart, eyes and wit of a person. When it is timely, it indicates there will be scholars and wise people in the house. When it is untimely, it denotes eye and heart disease; bad relationship between the mother and daughter in- law. This show indicates the possibility of stubborn people in the house and the difficulty to bear children.

3 - 3

The 3 wood star represents fortitude, righteous in character. It also associated with the eldest son and automobile. When it is timely, it denotes fame and glory.  When untimely, it means malevolent and merciless behaviour, and the opportunity of liver problems.

3 - 4

 Since the 3 wood star represents the eldest son and the 4 wood star represents the eldest daughter, when timely, it means the eldest son and daughter in the family will enjoy good fortune. When it is untimely, it indicates the possibility of theft and robbery. Furthermore, this combination also calls for grouping of young males and females, and when it meets the 5 earth star, it will result in mental and drug problems for the group.

4 - 3

When timely, this combination means harmony in the family, piety sons and daughters, fame and fortune. When it is untimely, it denotes conflicts between husband and wife, unworthy children and health problems in the hands and legs.

3 - 5

The outcome of this inauspicious combination call for epidemic, for example cholera and plague as stipulated in the classical text " Fei xing fu" (飛星賦云: 碧綠風魔, 他處廉貞). This also suggests the opportunity of misfortune or even death caused by money disputes.

5 - 3
