letter from the editor omniscience not being the purview just of the Gods. Lillian Too shares her thoughts on all this within. Lillian also touches on Taoist Feng Shui, which has not been given enough credence in modern feng shui literature. When learning feng shui, one can get caught up in the formulas, the countless charts and the numerological sequences, but it is always vitally important to go back to basics and notice also the simple stuff. She addresses this in her article on “Capturing the Chi of Prosperity”, encouraging her readers to develop the feng shui eye and to sometimes allow intuition and instinct to play a part in feng shui analysis. Some call this developing psychic ability, a skill that lays latent in all of us. How psychic one can be depends on how much practice you focus on this ability, but like any other ability, with the will and the effort, it can be acquired and mastered.
A
s we move into the last quarter of the year, our October issue marks a major milestone for us here at FENG SHUI WORLD. It is our 100th issue! We first launched this magazine as an additional tool for feng shui practitioners to stay updated with the changing energies because in feng shui, as in life, the only constant is change. When one has learnt to master and manouever the changes, and to stay in sync with the energies that permeate our living spaces, that is when one can enjoy true happiness and harmony. Feng shui is not a static science pre-written in a prehistoric book. Indeed not; it is a dynamic practice that needs to evolve and adapt to our modern and fast-advancing way of living. A hundred years ago, there were no skyscrapers to contend with; just twenty years ago, there was no Internet. Today, everything happens at lightning pace, and increasingly, there are sciencebased discoveries that hint at everything being interconnected. Of course we do not yet know all the interconnections, or even what they mean, but fabulously entertaining TV shows like SCORPION and TOUCH, which tap into the minds of pure geniuses, point towards

From Hollywood, we await the next bestselling book adaptation, THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN by Paula Hawkins. Emily Blunt stars as the movie’s lead, and from the trailer, it looks good stuff indeed. Opening on October 7th, it features a stellar supporting cast including Luke Evans, Justin Theroux and newcomer Haley Bennett. But after reading the book, the movie has a lot to live up to! We also look at Emily Blunt’s Paht Chee and discover a chart full of DOUBLES. Hanni Lim, from her trip last year points out some modern-day Dragons rising up from the South China Sea, connecting Hong Kong to Macau to Zhuhai. These mammoth steel structures that can count as modern day wonders of the world truly look like Dragons frolicking in the oceans, designed in a deliberately meandering fashion – perfect feng shui for a country that is increasingly embracing its luck-bringing heritage. Phillip Lim’s Paht Chee column talks about the 5 Ghosts Star, which can bring either 5 types of good fortune or 5 types of misfortune. If your chart happens to have this feature, do be sure you know how to bring out the positive aspects of this star, and how to suppress its flip side.
