Eight Mansions Feng Shui (Written by Sallie Tsui Sien) This is probably one of the most comprehensive and accurate articles
written on Eight Mansions Feng Shui I have ever seen. It not only offers
clear and precise information but Sallie also teaches in such a way that
you could use this valuable information almost instantly without the normal
confusion that so many books and websites offer. Michael

Locations and directions: Most of our readers know what The Eight Mansions Theory is but there
are still many who worry and are confused on the subject “direction and
location” (also known as sector). Believe it or not but many Practitioners
base their entire consultation on just this information alone, for us
this is the basics but still a very important part of foundation.
The most commonly asked question is: “Should I relocate my desk so that
I do not face southwest (I am a Gua 8) because in 2004, the annual 2 is
in the southwest and this is not considered a good area in 2004” Here we have a case of: In Eight Mansions, the best (Sheng Ch’i) direction for a Gua 8 person
is the southwest direction. But in Xuan Kong (Time Aspect) Feng Shui,
in 2004, the southwest location (or sector) of all buildings / property
is negatively influenced by the annual 2. Is it beneficial for a Gua 8
person to continue to sit facing the southwest direction? The answer is yes. Those belonging to Gua 2, 6, 7 and 8 should not worry
about facing southwest in 2004. But they (and everyone else) must avoid
(if at all possible) using the southwest sector (or room) of the house
or the office in 2004. Eight Mansions and Xuan Kong are two different
concepts but are complementary to each other. When taken together, they
provide us a more detailed analysis of the Feng Shui of our living space.
As Master Practitioners we always use both systems on every consultation
along with many other undisclosed formulas. Let’s take some time and explain this. Eight Mansions (also known as
Eight House Feng Shui) is only one of the components we use when we analyse
the Feng Shui of a property. One theory of Eight Mansions addresses the
different essence of Ch’i (energy) from the eight magnetic compass directions
and how it affects us, as individuals, either positively or negatively.
The formula and calculation of this are based on the year an individual
is born. So if you are a Gua 8 person, your personal four good directions
are southwest, northwest, west and northeast. You should try and face
one of these directions all the time wherever you are. These directions
do not change and are with you throughout your life wherever you are in
the world and have no association with Xuan Kong flying star. The Annual and Monthly Xuan Kong update in our newsletter
looks at the movement of energies and where they land within the eight
magnetic locations of a building or a house. It also deals with how the
energies of the monthly stars, when combined with the annual star, affect
each location (sector) and in turn how they affect the performances of
the residents occupying these sectors. These energies are charted according
to the three cycles and 9 periods. As from February
4th 2004 – February 2024, we will be in the lower cycle
entering the 8th period. For more details on how to avoid these
annual afflictions please click here. In 2004, the annual governing star is the 5 Yellow in the central grid.
1 White in the north, 2 Black in the southwest, 3 Jade in the east, 4
Green in the southeast, 6 White in the northwest, 7 Red in the west, 8
White in the northeast and 9 Purple in the south. From the above we see that in 2004, the southwest location / sector is
visited by the Annual 2 Black star. The quality of the chi (energy) of
2 Black in Period 7 and Period 8 is in its threatening (untimely) stage.
The underlying essence of this chi in the southwest location in 2004 is
an inauspicious one. During the year 2004, when an annual 2 Black combines with any untimely
visiting monthly stars, the chi manifested from this combination can affect
us negatively. The degree of influence varies according to the function
of that particular sector. If this is your front door, the use of this
sector on a daily basis will inevitably activate its malevolent effects.
On the other hand, if this is your storeroom or cloakroom, this sector
can be quite harmless. You will not be affected by the annual 2 Black by facing southwest if
you are a Gua 8 person. Facing southwest is good for you, but you (and
everyone) should try avoiding using the southwest room of your property
or the southwest office of the building in 2004. The southwest sector
of every house or building is deemed unfortunate in the year 2004. If
you have to use the southwest room, try to avoid the southwest corner
of the room and arrange your desk so that you can face one of your four
good directions, southwest included if you are a Gua 2, 6, 7 or 8 person. I have included some charts and formulas below for you to quickly and
accurately calculate your Ming Gua so you can start using your good directions
to improve health, wealth, career, business, relationships and education
immediately. How to calculate your Gua number and determine your good and bad directions:
© Feng Shui Store 2004 The Application of Eight Mansions and
Ming Gua (Personal Trigram) Finding your Ming Gua and the significance of the four auspicious and
inauspicious directions This table below shows the four favourable directions (in pink) and the
four unfavourable directions (in grey) of your Ming Gua number. Special note: If you are a male and your Ming Gua is 5, you should use the directions
attributed to Gua 2. As a Gua 2 your four favourable directions are NE, W, NW and SW. If you are a female and your Ming Gua is 5, you should use the directions
attributed to Gua 8. As a Gua 8 your favourable directions are SW, NW,
W and NE.
The Four Favourable directions and their
meanings: Sheng Chi (The breath of Life) The energy from this direction attracts prosperity, vitality, respectability
and reputation. This is your best magnetic direction. Strive to face this
direction when conducting anything important, e.g. interview, business
negotiation, your office desk. Tien Yi (Heavenly Doctor) This magnetic direction fosters good health Anyone with poor health should try to locate his or her bed head to this
direction. (The crown of your head should point to this direction when
you are lying down). Yan Nian (commonly known as Nien Yien) Yan Nian direction enhances the quality of relationships in the family.
This direction also promotes longevity. This is a good direction for adolescents
going through growing pains. Fu Wei (overall harmony) This energy brings about peace.
This is a good direction for meditation and for very young children
to face or to sleep with their head (crown) pointing to this direction
when they are lying down. If you are into self-development, this is the
direction where your bed head should be. The Four Unfavourable directions and
their meanings: These are the four directions that one should avoid strenuously especially
the two worst directions. Ho Hai (Obstacles and mishaps) This energy is considered the least harmful but has been known to lead
to all kinds of intermittent difficulty and frustration. Wu Kwei (Five Ghosts) This energy generates the kind of bad luck that leads to fire, loss of
income, burglary, fear and insecurity. Lui Sha (Six Killings) This direction represents scandals, missed opportunities, legal entanglements
and illnesses Chueh Ming (Total loss) This is the most harmful and dangerous direction.
This energy represents disaster, misfortune, disease and unproductive
career. Every care should be taken to avoid facing this direction. How to calculate
your Gua number For those of you that are
eager to learn how to calculate your own Ming Gua without the quick and
easy charts above I have included the formula below. The Ming Gua number is calculated according to the year of birth. Those
born between 1st January and 5th February should
consult the calendar below to ascertain the solar year they are born in. In Feng Shui calculation, the Hsia (solar) calendar is used. Spring,
according to the Hsia calendar, starts between the Winter Solstice (shortest
day of the year) and the Spring Equinox. This day occurs around February
4th or 5th each year. GUA FORMULAS FOR MALE (for
birth years before year 2000) Ascertain birth year if born between 1st Jan and 5th
Feb. Otherwise, birth year is when born. For example, year of birth – 1945 March 3rd (therefore birth
year 1945) Add the last two digits of the year. 4 + 5 = 9 10 - 9 = 1 Ming Gua number is 1 GUA FORMULAS FOR FEMALE (for
birth years before year 2000) Ascertain birth year if born between 1st Jan and 5th
Feb. Otherwise, birth year is when born. For example, year of birth – 1946 Jan 25th (therefore
birth year 1945) This person was born in the solar calendar year of 1945 Add the last two digits of the year. 1945 4 + 5 = 9 9 + 5 = 14 (add numbers together to reduce to one digit) 1 + 4 = 5 Ming Gua number is 5 Favourable and unfavourable directions are those of Gua 8 (as above). GUA FORMULAS FOR MALE (for
birth years from year 2000) Ascertain birth year if born between 1st Jan and 5th
Feb. Otherwise, birth year is when born. For example, year of birth – 2001 March 3rd (therefore birth
year 2001) Add the last two digits of the year. 2001 0 + 1 = 1 9 - 1 = 8
Ming Gua number is 8 GUA FORMULAS FOR FEMALE (for
birth years from year 2000) Ascertain birth year if born between 1st Jan and 5th
Feb. Otherwise, birth year is when born. For example, year of birth – 2002 Jan 25th (therefore
birth year 2001) This person was born in the solar calendar year of 2001 Add the last two digits of the year. 2001 0 + 1 = 1 1 + 6 = 7 Ming Gua number is 7
