2017 丁酉 DingYou Rooster Year

Introduction 2017 is almost here… Let’s prepare and be auspicious together. We step into 丁酉 DingYou, Metal Rooster in a Fire year on the 3 Feb 2016. It starts from 23:48pm 3 Feb 2017 and ends at 05:40am on the 4 Feb 2018. It is important to learn about the locations of annual and monthly Flying Stars (Xuan Kong Fei Xing), reputed to be the most powerful systems in the study of Feng Shui. Annual stars stay in a sector for the year and shift to another sector in a pre-determined pattern in the following year. Monthly stars change positions on a monthly basis. The star numbers run from 1 to 9 and each flying star number possesses auspicious or inauspicious meanings. In period 8, (2004 to 2024) the five lucky star numbers are 8, 9, 6, 4 and 1 while the unlucky stars are 2, 3, 5 and 7. In general, when the combination of the annual star and monthly star in a compass sector for a particular month is made up of the good stars (8, 9, 6, 4 and 1), the particular sector is said to be good and will bring good luck to its occupant. But when the bad stars congregate in the same sector, some serious issues might happen and it is important that you vacate the room for the month. If this cannot be done, you must install Feng Shui cures to suppress them or they will bring misfortunes of the most severe kind. However, you do not have to worry if the bad stars fly into a storeroom, toilet, garage or a missing corner because their negative effects are contained and dissolved. The effect, whether good or bad, is lesser when the number appears alone. You will need to look out for afflicted sectors and take the necessary steps to suppress the inauspicious stars or enhance the auspicious ones. Use a good compass to accurately determine the facing direction of your main door of your home. Then refer to following sections with all the arrangements and charts and use them wisely. You need to set your priority right in order to choose which Feng Shui arrangement to use. For example if you more on wealth, then you choose the wealth enhancing, if your health is not that good then choose the health enhancing arrangement.

~ You will need to carry out these changes in two steps. ~ The first step is to harmonious your home. First step, you have to harmonious your house Feng Shui base on your house facing. This can be done by using the outline arrangements outline in the section “House facing and its Feng Shui arrangements.” There are altogether 16 types of facing. You will need to get a good compass to accurately determine the facing direction of your main door of your home. After you have the facing then match the chart that you need to use. Put in the arrangements. The second step is to enhance what you need most. Second step, after you have harmonized your house, you can then choose your next Feng Shui enhancement base on your priority. You can choose for example to enhance your wealth or enhance your health. Sometimes you can have both but sometimes you are not so lucky. They will improve your house’s luck.

If your house’s Feng Shui is bad they will help you to reduce the disastrous effects and can help you to avoid calamities.

There is two type of Chinese Horoscope forecast. The first type is based on Animal Signs alone and its ShenSha 神杀. The second type is using a combination of Chinese Astrology, Horoscope, Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微斗数) together with Ba Zi Analysis (子平八字). This forecast will analyses the 10 divisions of each Horoscope Sign according to the 5 element (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water) and 2 type of favorability according to the day master (Strong 旺 /Extreme Weak 从 and Weak 弱/extreme strong 专). This means each animal sign will have ten different categories. This forecast will generally be better than most basic forecast that only analyses based on 12 Horoscope Signs.

Flying Star and afflictions San Sha Three Killings 三杀 In 2017, it is located at the EAST. IMPORTANT: This year wealth star #8 is also located at the EAST sector. This can be the East side outside of your house or the East sector of your house. You must be very careful when you activate this wealth star #8 or else you might activated San Sha Three Killings 三杀 instead of wealth star. You must perform 2 steps, first you must neutralize the San Sha Three Killings 三杀 and then you activate the wealth star #8. When you do it correctly, the auspiciousness can be significant. You must neutralize and convert the bad San Sha Three Killings 三杀 and the bad Sui Po year breaker 岁破 killing Qi into good, vibrant Qi, capture these Qi and use them for your own gain and to your own advantages. Please refer to Flying Star #8 section. The Three Killings is one of the major annual afflictions in Feng Shui and it is of utmost important that the ground or location in which the Three Killings resides during the year should not be disturbed at all costs. Otherwise, the household will meet with three types of misfortune. The San Sha is a deadly combination of three Sha, namely the Year Sha (Sui Sha), Robbery Sha (Jie Sha) and Disaster Sha (Zai Sha). Obstacles that set you back may be caused by the Year Sha; wealth losses may be due to Robbery Sha and frequent mishaps and misfortunes could be brought on by the Disaster Sha. It’s important to find out at the beginning of every year whether the Three Killings has hit struck a space that is used often; such as your entrance, living room, and bedroom or office area for instance. Do not carry out renovation and repairs such as drilling and hammering of the walls to these areas as it will activate the sha chi. Feng Shui also advocates that you should never sit with your back to The Three Killings. Instead you should sit facing it. This advice refers not so much to isolated incidents but situations where prolonged periods of time are spent in this position, such as at your work desk. If you really have to renovate this sector, you can start from North or from South and slightly go towards East. This will minimize the effect of the killing Qi.

Afterword The information in this book is a guide to the art of Feng Shui which also touch on your BaZi Four Pillars on destiny, but since every individual need, situation (external environments and interior of individual home or office) and Four Pillar is different, every arrangements and the affects will be different. Feng Shui experts have their own personal methods of divination and there are no hard and fast rules to define the practice. Without years of experience and training, the ordinary person cannot function at the same level as the master. However, much of Feng Shui is common sense fused with a particular Chinese understanding of the nature. It is not always possible to create an ideal house or identify the perfect plot; imperfections and problems are to be expected, but do not be put off. There are always changes for improvements. This book will guide you on how to make you home a better place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter Yap ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
