Baby Conceive Feng Shui

                                             

As the environment pollution is getting worst in our modern cities day by day and coupling with the modern "strange" and complicated design of home, more and more couples are experiencing the problem of unable to bear children. Some of it may due to health issues; nonetheless, I believe feng shui is also a main factor. Therefore, I am here to share some of the feng shui ideas regarding this topic and hopefully it will help some couples to fulfill their dreams of having a lovely baby in their life!

Firstly, I am going to list some of the inauspicious conditions at the bedroom that will affect the chance of conceiving baby:

1. The bedroom is too dark and humid. This is usually caused by the having little windows, cluttering, limited space, having fish tank inside the bedroom; and too much trees outside the bedroom windows. All the above will affect the chance of conceiving because there is an imbalance of the yin and yang energy.

2. The area of the bedroom is too large. Under the authentic Chinese feng shui, it believe that our energy or life force will escape from out body when we are sleeping. If the area of the bedroom is too large and has plenty of empty space, more energy will escape from our body and therefore this will reduce the ability to conceive. It is no wonder that the bedroom of the ancient Chinese emperors never exceed 20 meters!

3. Irregular shaped house. In feng shui, different shapes and forms will generate different chi patterns or feng shui. Under the Later Heaven Ba Gua, the SW sector represents the female household and the NE sector represents offspring in the family. Thus, it is not auspicious for a house to miss these two corners, or they are occupied by the bathroom or kitchen. Furthermore, inauspicious exterior "luan tao" like some rugged land forms sharp angle facing these two sectors will also affect the female to get pregnant.

4. Too much chi flow at the west sector of the house. Generally speaking, in order to increase the ability of conceiving, the health of the kidney is very important. In feng shui, the kidney is associated with the water element which is related to the north sector of the ba gua. On the other hand, metal is considered as the resource of water or kidney (metal carries water under the Five Elements concept); and it is associated with the west and NW sector. Therefore, if there are too many windows at the west, NW and north side of the bedroom, this represents there are no protection to contain the metal and water chi in the bedroom and this will affects the ability to conceive baby accordingly.

5. Living too far away from the ground chi. In feng shui, we believe the ground chi will not reach more than 5 floors high. Thus, living in a tall building is referred as "lonely sha", which means there are no protection on the four sides of the building and the chi got scattered. This will also affect the ability of conceiving baby.

6. There is altar, balcony or car port beneath the bedroom or the room directly above or below is the washroom.

7. There are more than two access doors in the bedroom. In feng shui, it states that the bedroom must only have one entrance door, otherwise it will affect the fertility of the couple.

8. The bed is placing too near to the window.

9. The bedroom door is facing the door of the kitchen or the bathroom. It is also not auspicious to have the bedroom sitting beside the bathroom or the kitchen, especially the bed is sitting against the same wall with the kitchen where the kitchen stove is located.

10. There are too many mirrors in the bedroom. The logic is mirror is associated with the metal element in feng shui; and metal will injure the fetal chi and affects male vitality.

11. Placing too many electrical items and metal objects beside the bed, this will cause difficulty for the female to get pregnant.

As for those couples that had been married for many years and still cannot have babies, there are some feng shui methods to enhance the chance of fertility if health is not an issue:

1. By applying the Chinese legend of "gift of children by the Chi Lin (麒麟送子), the couple can place the Chi Lin figurine at the "sheng chi" sector of the house and the bedroom (refer to the table below).

Sitting/Facing direction of the house                         Sheng chi sector

SE sitting/NW facing house                                               SE
NW sitting/SE facing house                                               west, north
NE sitting/SW facing house                                               NW
SW sitting/ NE facing house                                              east
South sitting/north facing house                                        south
North sitting/south facing house                                        SW, north
East sitting/west facing house                                           east
West sitting/east facing house                                           south, NW, SE

2. It is also auspicious to place the bed at the "sheng chi" sector (refer to the above table) of the bedroom as this will improve the chance of conceiving baby.

3. Place yellow colored crystal under the mattress.

4. Place black colored obsidian at the "sheng chi" sector of the bedroom (see table above). In feng shui, black color is associated with the number 1 water star which represents the kidney and uterus of the human body; this will enhance the fertility energy of the couple.

5. Choose an auspicious day and time based on the Chinese Almanac to re-set the bed. It is also important that the couple do not sleep in a bed with four legs; instead sleep on a bed with solid base support.

6. Place a red lantern on the outside of the bedroom windows on every full moon day or on the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. This will also fulfill the wish of offspring. In some practice, the couple will appoint an elderly relative who has many children to hang the red lantern.

7. On a full moon day (Lunar Calendar), place a mixture of red dates, peanuts, longan and lotus seeds at the living room or beside the bedroom door. Cook the mixture as deserts and eat it after three days. This symbolize the Chinese saying of "having baby early" (早生貴子).

8. Below is a summary of showing where to place the feng shui items to enhance the fertility luck of couple in their house and bedroom:

Feng Shui items/Locations

- Figurine of the "gift of children by the Chi Lin"  -  west, "sheng chi" sector
- Black colored obsidian - bedroom
- Black color crystal column - east side of bedroom
- Combination of red date, peanuts, longan, lotus seeds - living room, bedroom door
- Chinese painting of the "hundred children" (百子圖) - living room or bedroom
- Marigold flowers - balcony or bedroom window
- Yellow colored crystal - under the mattress
- Red lantern - outside bedroom window

Lastly, I want to stress the importance of using an auspicious day and time which has no conflicts to the Chinese horoscope of the couple to apply the above feng shui enhancements. This is the last and most important step in feng shui application in order that we can achieve the best result that we want.

You can only find this in China!

Someone Dreams, Other People Feng Shui and Living Nightmare

 

 

In today China, those who are rich and powerful really have their way doing their own things without considering the wellbeing and benefits of the other people! On today’s Toronto Star, they were reporting that in Beijing, a so-called professor decided to fulfill his own “dream” or idiocy have spent six years building a roof top villa with rocks, trees and waterfalls on top of a 26-storey apartment building; and is now being ordered by the local urban management unit to demolished this illegal construction!

Technical speaking, any trained architect and engineer shall notice immediately that this illegal structure will cause substantial damages to the rest of the building. Unless it is designed in the planning process, the roof of a building normally does not design for the support of a massive structure. Another potential nightmare is the waterproofing and drainage system as there are water falls, trees and rock formation in this illegal structure.  If I were the occupants of the lower floors units, I will demand a complete inspection and assessment of the above potential problems and hold this professor responsible for any structural damages in the future.

Now, let us look at what kind of feng shui nightmare caused by this illegal structure. Any feng shui masters will tell you immediately that this is the perfect example of “water shower on the head” (淋頭水).This scenario will cause illegal activities, serious illness and accidents to the families living below. This will affect more to the occupants living on the top few floors of the apartment building. Furthermore, because living under the massive structure, they will also suffer the same effects as living/sleeping under a beam or heavy objects in feng shui.

Besides creating bad feng shui effects on the occupants of the apartment building, it will also cause problems for the other buildings which are close by facing this roof top structure. Due to its rugged formation, it is referred as “Lian Zhen Shan” (廉貞山) which is an inauspicious “luan tao”. This will caused serious health issues based on which direction is facing this illegal structure:

- East – liver and limbs

- SE – liver, face

- South – eyes, accidents

- SW – skin and stomach

- West – mouth and throat

- NW – lung and respiratory system

- North – bladder stone, abortion and miscarriage

- NE – nose and skin disease

Under the Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui, this inauspicious luan tao will enhance the ill effects of the flying star combination of the sector which is facing the luan tao.

To conclude, I believe this will be a total nightmare in feng shui for the other occupants of the apartment and it will be a disaster living in this apartment building especially when the demolishing works begin for this massive illegal structure. Therefore, my recommendation to the occupants especially those living in the top floors will be simply it is about time to consider to move out of the building!

Feng shui for Rona Inc.

 

 

Some bold feng shui ideas to help Rona Inc. to restructure its home improvement business in Canada among keen competition from the major US companies like the Home Depot, Lowes and even Wal-Mart

Based on an article in the Toronto Star dated June 28, 2013, they are reporting that Rona Inc. will close eleven (11) unprofitable stores in two provinces, both Ontario and BC; and cut more than 325 administration jobs as part of its ongoing cost cutting and restructuring efforts. It is come as no surprise to me because Rona has been facing cut-throat competition from the major US home improvement companies like the Home Depot and Lowes.

I believe in order for Rona Inc. to survive in this market, they really have to think outside the box in order to gain some advantages from both the Home Depot and Lowes as they are almost operating identically both in the management style and store layout; the only difference is the associates of these two companies are wearing different colors aprons! So, here is some of my feng shui advice to Robert Sawyer, Rona’s president and CEO of how to turn things around and right the ship based on the Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui ideas:

1. Change the color of the logo – For discussion purpose, I will use the date: July 20, 1960 when the Rona name was adopted to calculate the birth element using the Four Pillars Destiny or BaZi system. It turns out that the birth element is yin earth, and the auspicious element is earth and fire. Therefore, we can see that the current design of Rona’s logo which is white letters on black or blue background is not auspicious in feng shui terms. My suggestion is to change the logo to red letters and yellow or brown background.

2. Go with the “flow” – According to the Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui, we are now in Luck Period Eight (2004 – 2023) which is represents by the number 8 star and that means the world is affected by the characteristics of this star. For example, since the number 8 star is associated with the operating of our hands instead of our month as in Luck Period Seven (1984 -2003), we can see the changing of our behavior (customers) from talking on the cell phone to texting with the smart phones and I-Pads. This really makes me wonder if Steve Jobs is a feng shui follower! Anyway, I will list below some major trends and the profitable types of business in Period Eight (2004-2023):

- Anti-traditional innovative products; new scale business; emerging religious gathering ideas; green environment doctrine; new concepts or products that will reduce the process of time and space; stunts; house rental business; message and natural healings services; products relate to the children; ceramics products; pharmaceutical technology using natural materials and novel gene.

- Transportation; communication equipment; timber business; building industry; aviation; paper industry; cotton related business; landscaping; building materials; marriage agency; furniture shop, fast food.

From the above, I believe any smart CEO of the home improvement business shall be able to pick up what is important and decide on the strategy of how to turn their companies to be successful in Luck Period Eight!

3. Redesign the layout of the store – In feng shui, we all understands the importance of the five elements. If we want to achieve auspicious results both in our home and business, it is vital that we have to achieve a balanced state of the five elements. Simply put the five elements must be compliment to each other (forming a generating cycle) instead of destroying each other (forming a destructive cycle) within the walls of the building. This is very critical for stores that are selling building improvement materials to have an auspicious and profitable setting which contain all products that are associated with the five elements. For example, the landscaping materials are related to the earth element, the hardware products are related to the metal element and the plumbing products are related to the water element etc. My suggestion is to design the store based on the Later Heaven Ba Gua. For example, the center will be fitted with earth element colors design and allocate specifically for the management office and customer service area. Based on this idea, I have designed the “ideal” layout for a big-box home improvement materials retail store and will happy to share it with any CEO of the home improvement products companies who is interested.

4. Follow the trend (Luck Year Period in feng shui) – In order for a business to be successful, the management must have the ability to identify the places or market where its business can flourish.

By applying the Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui’s “zhen shen”, “ling shen” and “zhao shen” concept, we can actually identify the prosperous sectors based on the Luck Year Period. In Period Eight (2004 -2023), the “zhen shen” is located at the NE; the “ling shen” is located at the SW and the “zhao shen” is located at the west sector. In principle, it is good feng shui that the “ling shen” and “zhao shen” sector are facing water. If we look at the map of Canada, we can see that Ontario has the great lakes on the SW and British Columbia is facing the Pacific Ocean at the west. That means if any business who want to be successful in Period Eight, they shall concentrate on the market in Ontario and British Columbia. Therefore, I believe it is not a good business decision for Rona to cut eleven (11) stores both in Ontario and BC!

5. Heaven Luck, Land Luck and Man Luck – Under the authentic Chinese feng shui, in order for a business to be successful, it must include three components, namely the Heaven Luck, Land Luck and the Man Luck.

After decided on the way to conduct its business, the layout of the store and identified the market trend based on the above captioned; the company has basically grasp hold two of the successful components in feng shui which are the Heaven Luck and Land Luck. The last component which is also very important is the Man Luck which is the customers. Just like any other retails business, in order to be successful, it is important that the company must have well trained and experienced staffs, excellent customer service and innovative products to satisfy the customer needs.

6. Good feng shui of the head office – There are many big corporations in the past have used feng shui to turn the business around. One of the most prominent examples is Coca Cola Ltd. In 2000, they have appointed a famous feng shui master in Hong Kong to improve the feng shui of their head office, and by following the advice from the masters, they have turn their business around and become the world number one brand in 2007. Therefore, I believe Rona shall also consider hiring a capable and seasoned feng shui consultant who are specialized in authentic Chinese feng shui to check the feng shui of the head office and make sure everything are good for Luck Period Eight (2004 – 2023).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to determine the proper facing direction of the bed for a couple who belongs to different Group of person (East and West Group) in the Eight Mansions feng shui ?

                                                                Earlier Heaven Ba Gua

                                                                  Later Heaven Ba Gua

In our life time, we spend around 1/3 of our time in the bed; therefore the feng shui of the bed is very important to us. For example, if we place the bed at the inauspicious sectors, it will affect our health and the relationship between husband and wife. According to the guidelines of the Eight Mansions feng shui, it is auspicious for the East Group person to sleep at the four (4) auspicious East sectors and the West Group person to sleep facing the four auspicious (4) West sectors of the house. However, there are many times that this is not possible because of the limitation of space and structural restriction. Therefore, we will then concentrate on having the bed (headboard of the bed) facing the four (4) auspicious directions; based on the kua number.

Well, in theory this will works perfectly if both the husband and wife are belong to the same Group. However, what happened if the husband is an East Group person and the wife is a West Group person? The reason is the auspicious directions for a West Group person is the inauspicious directions for an East Group person and vice versa.  As a matter of fact, this is a very common scenario for people who are following the Eight Mansions feng shui. Sadly, there are little explanations about this dilemma in many books and web sites in the market by the self-proclaimed feng shui masters!

Here I want to introduce a work around method to solve this problem by using the theory of the Earlier Heaven Ba Gua and the Later Heaven Ba Gua (refer to the above drawing). In traditional Chinese feng shui practice, the Early Heaven Ba Gua is used for reference and the Later Heaven Ba Gua is used for the actual application. Now, let me demonstrate this idea with an example:

Let say a couple want to know which is the appropriate direction the bed shall face, with the husband’s kua number is 4, which is xun (East Group) and the wife’s kua number is 6, which is qian (West Group).

Solution:

First of all, the four auspicious directions for the husband’s ming kua are: zhen (east); xun (south-east); li (south) and kan (north). Furthermore, by comparing both the Early Heaven and Later Heaven Ba Gua, we can notice that his xun kua on the Earlier Heaven Ba Gua is located at the kun (SW) sector of the Later Heaven Ba Gua. That is to say, the kun (SW) direction is also suitable for the husband. Since the kun direction is also the auspicious direction for the wife (West Group), that means the bed can be placed at the SW direction and will suit both the husband and wife.

On the other hand, the four auspicious directions for the wife’s ming kua are: kun (SW); dui (west); chien (NW); and gen (NE); and her qian kua at the Earlier Heaven Ba Gua is located at the li (south) sector of the Later Heaven Ba Gua, that means the li (south) direction has no harmful effect to the wife; in addition to the fact that the li (south) direction is also auspicious to the husband.

In short, based on the above method, the couple can place the bed either facing the kun (SW) or the li (South) direction without any conflict to their kua number. However, since in most cases the husband is the bread earner in the family, thus it make more sense to have the bed facing the li (south) direction!

 

Feng shui interpretation of “balance does not always equal symmetry”

Feng shui interpretation of “balance does not always equal symmetry”

On the Toronto Star dated April 20, 2013, there was an interesting article where the author, Yanic Simard written about his "new" ideas of arranging the furniture in the bedroom from the conventional bedroom suites: two side tables, two lamps, all matching, and change to different size and form of furniture on each side of the bed and still managed to achieve a “balance” look and feel. The reason that this article draws my attention is this idea is nothing “new” if he is following the traditional Chinese feng shui!

For someone who follow the traditional Chinese feng shui shall know the concept of yin and yang, which is one of the most fundamental and important theories of feng shui. Based on this theory, our universe consists of two opposing but interconnected cosmic forces that shape the universe and everything in it. The yin and yang accomplish changes in the universe through the five materials or “elements” in feng shui (metal, wood, water, fire and earth), which produce one another and overcome one another. Together yin and yang constitute a balance whole known as Tao or “the way” – the eternal principle of heaven and earth in harmony.

Thus, achieving goo feng shui results has much to do with balancing the yin and yang elements in our environment, and it is the appropriate interaction of these two forces that creates harmony or balance around us.

In the article, the author basically taking a conventional “symmetry” set up for the bedroom, namely two matching side tables and two matching white lamps, and started to throw in different forms, shapes and colors objects/ items besides the bed to create a “asymmetrical” but balanced look, and even moving the bed off to one side of the wall and free up space for a miniature home office.

 

On the other hand,  the ultimate feng shui goal is also to balance yin and yang naturally and instinctively in our homes. For example, we add soft seat cushions to hard wooden chairs; we paint one wall a darker accent color to keep an all-white room from looking too bland; we place tall furniture on the left side (yang or “green dragon”) and low furniture on the right side (yin or “white tiger”). Simply put, if these two equal and opposite forces are in balance in our interior surroundings, we feel at peace and in harmony with the universe.

To conclude, although the “asymmetrical” approach is a good idea as it is basically in line with the yin and yang concept, but if we look carefully at the finished design by the author, we can see that there are a lot of conflicting elements and colors. Furthermore, if we did not factor in whether these elements are auspicious to the occupant of the bedroom, this will in fact creates a non-balance environment which is not auspicious to the person in feng shui. Therefore, I will advise that if someone want to adopt this approach of furniture arrangement in the bedroom, make certain that it must be also in harmony or balance with your birth element!

 

 

 

 

Modern "window wall" high rise condominium - Is it good feng shui?

Modern “window wall” high rise condominium - Is this good feng shui?

In an article titled “The broken reality of glass walls” on the Toronto Star dated March 23, 2013, the writer is raising the concern of the resiliency and energy efficiency about the popular floor-to- ceiling glass walls of the masses of towering condos in the city. One building experts even commented it is due to the laziness of the architects and builders. I believe it is more about the economics as the builders want to have these buildings build fast and cheap.

If we look at these kind of buildings in feng shui perspective, they are in fact not auspicious in many ways. Listed below are some major feng shui deficiencies for these kinds of buildings:

The window glass is related with the metal element in authentic feng shui. In other words, people are basically living in a metal “skin” unit. Therefore, it is not auspicious for wood and earth element person to live in these types of building.

In feng shui, the windows and doors are considered the “mouth of chi”, therefore, this kind of design will allow the positive chi to escape through the floor-to –ceiling window wall, and unable to contain the positive chi such that they can circulate through the unit.

Most of the time, these kinds of high rise condos are built so densely together, the reflection on the window walls will become the “light sha ” in feng shui, which will affect the feng shui of other buildings which are close by.

In feng shui, there is a saying that “if it is not visible, it is not considered as sha chi". Therefore, unless there are full height curtains or blinds installed on the floor-to-ceiling window walls, all the units of the building will be affected by the outside “sha chi”.

When is the Right Time to Hire a Feng Shui Consultant?

When Is the Right Time to Hire a Feng Shui Consultant?

With so many feng shui books and web sites available in the market, it is not surprising that a lot of people have picked up this ancient Chinese wisdom which showing us how to live in harmony with our environment. Any feng shui beginners can easily find all kind of "tips" and "advice" from the so-called  experts, or read a "DIY" book so that they can start applying feng shui themselves in five minutes; because these types of  so-called New Age feng shui  does not require us to know anything about the cardinal directions and how to use a compass! At first it does seem fairly easy for the beginners to follow this type of feng shui. But after a while, when bad things start to happen in the house or in their personal life and they start to realize that this type of "simple" feng shui doesn't able to identify the cause and solve their problems; they will be wondering whether feng shui is good for them and it is just a Chinese superstition after all. When this happened, I believe it is the right time to seek some professional help from the authentic Chinese feng shui consultants:

Listed below is a list of events or problems happened to us that we shall consider seeking help from the feng shui consultant:

1. Many unexpected things happened suddenly without any reason or indications.

2. When we are facing the changing of job and moving of office.

3. Outside the house, there is a new building or a bridge being constructed, the removal of a big tree, large boulders or the construction of a new swimming pool.

4. Before moving in to a new house or apartment.

5. After moving in to a new house, there are many unexpected events happened in the house.

6. Crisis of losing a normally secure and steady job.

7. Family members start to have health issues.

8. Arguments between husband and wife are happened more frequently.

9. Numerous accidents happened to the family members.

10. Family members are suffering from sleeping problems.

11. The children in the house are failing at school or loss of concentration in their study.

12. Family members like to wander away from home.

13. Many "uneasy" feeling at the house.

14. Cannot stop our bad temper and changing of moods.

Should we turn the ba gua around as we are in the Southern hemisphere?

Question:  Should we turn the ba gua around as we are in the Southern hemisphere?

Answer: This is one of the most common asked feng shui question for people living in the Southern hemisphere like Australia, and has created heated arguments among the feng shui practitioners and professionals. Listed below is the typical argument between the “yes” and “no’ camp:

“Yes” Camp:

“Because of the origin of Feng Shui in northern China several thousand years ago, and the lack of awareness that a southern hemisphere existed, original Feng Shui methods did not consider the differences between the northern and southern hemispheres. Because so many Compass School determinations and calculations are dependent on seasonal changes and solar orientation, differing in the two hemispheres, these adjustments have made it possible for Feng Shui practitioners in the southern hemisphere to make accurate Feng Shui”  - International Feng Shui Guild

“No” Camp:

“There was for a short time some misconception that you need to flip the directions for North and South hemisphere, but when you understand advanced feng shui where we actually use three measurements of North, then you know that the recommendations apply the same to every place wherever you are. In feng shui, accurate compass directions are important as a point of reference.” – Lillian Too

As a feng shui professional, I have been doing some research in this topic and have read different arguments from both camps and here are my personal inputs for this controversial feng shui topic:

First of all, the primary reasoning and argument from the “Yes” Camp is that the weather or temperature in the Southern hemisphere is directly opposite to the Northern hemisphere. For example, in Australia, the cold comes from the South and the warmth from the North, in China, it is reversed. This is a true fact and no one can argue about it, but this is based on the perspective of the weather pattern. However, in feng shui, we are primarily dealing with the magnetic fields of the earth. For instance, the needle of the Lo Pan or compass is always pointing at the magnetic North, it will not change whether you are standing in the Southern hemisphere or Northern hemisphere.

Secondly, I believe all these arguments are basically stemmed from the configuration of the Earlier Heaven Ba Gua (先天八卦), where the North is located at the bottom and the South is located at the top of the ba gua, which is created with the climates in China as the basics. The heat mainly comes from the South and thus the Fire element of the ba gua is assigned to the South. Since there is abundant storage of water in the form of ice in the North and thus the water element is assigned to the North.

In my many years of professional experience, I have the opportunities of working with clients living in both hemisphere, and I basically applying the authentic Chinese type of feng shui, namely the Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui and have achieved positive results; without having to flip the ba gua upside down to suit the conditions in the Southern hemisphere. The reason why I do not need to make any adjustments is the Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui is it is dealing only with the magnetic fields (the facing and sitting direction of a site) measured by the Lo Pan when I am calculating the natal chart; therefore, a house with the facing reading of 16 degree North means the house is always facing North and sitting South even in the Southern hemisphere. 

To conclude, I believe this argument will carry on for a long time and it will be difficult to reach a consensus of opinions among the practitioners in the near future. Therefore, I believe we need to experiment and decide for ourselves. I will list below the links to some web pages regarding this topic for people who are interested:

Is this feng shui or accident?

 

Recently, there was a car accident happened in my neighbourhood which is in Markham, Ontario. On December 8, 2012 around 1am, an intoxicated driver lost control of his car and smashed into the driveway of a house, hit a car parked at the driveway and pushed it back into the garage and causing serious damage to the garage (see attached picture). 

Many people will think that this is just an unfortunate accident. However, what caught my attention is why it was only happened at this particular house? The house is not located at a T-junction road anyway. Therefore, I picked up my Lo Pan and walked down to the house which is very close to my house and done some measuring and took some pictures. What I have found out is this accident was in fact related to feng shui.  This is based on my studying of the flying stars combinations at the North sector of the house which is the garage and the main entrance. Let me explain this in details below:

1. The natal chart for the house, a Period 7 house with North, offset facing direction [兼向]:

1                3             6	6                 7              2	8                 5              4
9                4             5	2                 2              7	4                9             9
5                8             1	7              6              3	3                 1              8

The [7, 6] flying star combination at the North sector is referred as the “sword-fencing sha” [交劍煞] in XKFSFS. This implies the 7- red metal star clashes with the 6- white metal star; which denotes the opportunities of conflicts, accidents, most likely car accidents. However, it doesn’t mean that the house will suffer from these effects all the time. It will depend on whether there are any supported flying stars (which include the annual, monthly, daily and hourly flying stars) at this sector to trigger its happening. So, let us now take a look at the natal charts of all the above flying stars to see whether any of the above flying stars are responsible for this accident:

  2. 2012 annual flying star chart

5	1	3
4	6	6
9	2	7

 

In 2012, the untimely number 2 earth star is located at the North sector. Since the North sector of the Later Heaven Ba Gua is associated with the male household, this indicates the male household will suffer from serious illness or misfortune in 2012. Furthermore, since the number 2 star is associated with the fire element in the Early Heaven Ba Gua, its interaction with the number 7 metal sitting star, which was [2, 7] combination implies serious accidents and most likely fire hazards.
