Feng Shui: Effect of San-sha or "3-killings"

SAN-SHA

San-sha or "3-killings" is a serious negative energy in Feng Shui and date-selection.  For any given year, there are three san-sha directions or branches. It is calculated based on the San He (Three Combinations) of the year animal.

Annual san-sha normally refers to directions  not suitable for moving earth or constructions.  The directions listed below are in terms of "24 mountains".

YEAR AND SAN SHA DIRECTIONS 

YEAR	ANIMAL	YEAR	San Sha Direction
ZI	Mouse	2020	Si, wu, wei
CHOU	Ox	2021	Yin, mao, chen
YIN	Tiger	2022	Hai, zi, chou
MAO	Rabbit	2023	Shen, you, xu
CHEN	Dragon	2024	Si, wu, wei
SI	Snake	2025	Yin, mao, chen
WU	Horse	2026	Hai, zi, chou
WEI	Ram	2027	Shen, you, xu
SHEN	Monkey	2016	Si, wu, wei
YOU	Rooster	2017	Yin, mao, chen
XU	Dog	2018	Hai, zi, chou
HAI	Pig	2019	Shen, you, xu

 

EFFECT OF SAN-SHA IN FENG SHUI 

If san-sha is in door direction,  it may negatively affecting the career of the residents. 

If san-sha is in master bedroom direction,  it may negatively affect the couple like sickness or accident. 

If san-sha is in children-room direction,  it may negatively affect the children like sickness or accident. 

If san-sha is in kitchen direction,  it may negatively affect the female head of the house. 

If san-sha is in bathroom direction,  it may negatively affect the relationship or marriage of the residents. 

How to fix san-sha?  Easy fix would be avoiding movement in san-sha locations.  Please consult your Feng Shui teacher for other remedies.

When to call in Feng Shui help 2016 edition

My article on "When to call in Feng Shui help" in 2009 is one of the most read and quoted in this blog.  Here I add more ideas into this list and hopefully drum up some businesses for Feng Shui practitioners.  

WHEN TO CALL IN FENG SHUI CONSULTANT:

1. -- before you buy a new property
2. -- before you do remodeling of an existing property
3. -- before you add an extension or new level into your existing building
4. -- before you move into a new rental property
5. -- many unexpected and unpleasant events happened after moving into a new property
6. -- unexpected unfavorable career changes or lawsuits
7. -- family members suddenly have unusually high incidence of accidents or health problems
8. -- serious health problems like cancer
9. -- health problems that cannot be explained or detected by modern medicine
10. -- multiple deaths in the family
11. -- children's academic performance suddenly drops like a rock
12. -- children become rebellious and secretive
13. -- family members do not like staying home or returning late
14. -- more arguments among family members
15. -- martial relationship suddenly turns toxic
16. -- problem in conceiving baby for female; sexual dysfunction for male
17. -- problem getting married for singles in the family
18. -- frequent nightmares
19. -- insecure feeling/ depression
20. -- seeing or hearing some inexplicable images or objects in home
21. -- problem in sleeping
22. -- life overall is full of obstacles with many backstabbers
23. -- losing good friendship/ social connections
24. -- problem controlling temper 
25. -- declining wealth luck and financial problems
26. -- problem keeping or saving money

Finally, be very careful when you choose a Feng Shui practitioner.  If one is in bad luck period, the probability of running into a lousy Feng Shui practitioner is very high.  You may want to see a Bazi reader to check if your current situation is attributed to your destiny (birth chart) or Feng Shui.

"QMDJ-XKDG"? Putting Dinosaurs and Homosapiens together

Note:  The message below was written in August 2015 for my "Professional Imperial QMDJ" discussion group. I wrote this article after being bombarded with questions about this so-called "QMDJ-XKDG" by my curious students for years.  I have updated it with some new notes here.

Ancient QMDJ books

Some marketers have marketed a "Qi-Men-Dun-Jia Xuan-Kong-Da-Gua"  (奇门遁甲玄空大卦 QMDJ-XKDG) course a few years ago. You (my students) have asked many questions about this course.

In Chinese metaphysics, there is a fetish of "na-jia" or trying to fit everything into the bagua.  Xuan-Kong-Da-Gua or XKDG itself is an example-- artificially fitting 64 hexagrams into the bagua or 8-trigrams by repeating 4 jia-zi (binomials).  XKDG is still not accepted by some Feng Shui schools.

There is also a tendency in Chinese metaphysics circle to stuff 64 hexagrams into existing systems and repackage it as "XXXX-XKDG".   These marketers often claim that this is no new stuff but a recent "rediscovery" of long-lost ancient manuscript or technique.

Early compass with 8 sectors

During mid-Qing dynasty (around 1700-1800), the government had relaxed the restrictions on the spreading of QMDJ to help countering the increasingly aggressive western power and internal rebellions.  Scholars and amateurs at that time had gone nuts and written many "armchair" books on QMDJ.  "Armchair" means out of imagination or simply using formula mechanically to generate more QMDJ theories.  Some may work and most do not or simply have no empirical testing to backup the "new" theories.

As far as I know, there is no such thing as "QMDJ-XKDG".  Modern marketers have coined the term "QMDJ-XKDG" because this later day version of QMDJ has somehow "squeezed" 64 hexagrams into the system.  The original author(s) had called this version of QMDJ as "Golden Mirror of Nation-building and Capital setting for 10 Thousands Years Reign" (Aren't we lucky that Hitler had not gotten a copy?).  I have read the book about this "nation/ capital building" QMDJ. (For around NT$ 300 or US$ 10, you can get the Chinese book on this topic in Taiwan).

Timeline between Dinosaurs and Humans

QMDJ was developed around 200 AD using only 9 palaces or sectors (the rudimentary compass at that time could not do measurement down to individual degree). XKDG requires accuracy down to 360/384 or 0.938 degree (even compass during the1800's could not be this accurate).  Mixing QMDJ with XKDG together is as funny as putting dinosaurs with humans together like the "One Million Years BC" movie.  QMDJ and XKDG were over 1500 years apart.  

Sample Capital-building chart

The original author of this version of QMDJ had claimed it is for "capital building" and provincial/ city level "huge projects".  It is not designed for individual house, building or even housing estates though one may use it as "reference".   If we assume it works as claimed-- there are not too many capitals around or huge projects for Feng Shui students to build.  This means only these so-called  "QMDJ-XKDG" teachers make money from selling the course.The students will probably find little or no market for "QMDJ-XKDG" other than selling the course again to others.   It is even worse if the darn thing does not work.

Anyway, the "capital-building chart 建都盤" looks impressive if not intimidating for the uninitiated.  It is just iterations of some formulas into individual palace.

Imperial Qing dynasty was no longer exist in China since 1911.  It should be here today if "QMDJ-XKDG" was employed.  And we know from historical texts and Qing Imperial Tombs that Qing emperors were very into Feng Shui and QMDJ.  The Qing military commander Nian Gengyao (年羹尧) was known for using QMDJ in quelling rebellions.

Commander Nian Gengyao

The essence of the question is:  Can QMDJ be scaled up and applied to regional or national level when it was originally designed for small scale or single location application?  

QMDJ itself is a very complicated system with over 50 data points and numerous dimensions.  XKDG is not as complicated as QMDJ, but it is not simple either.  Imagine the astronomical number of combinations generated when someone tries to tie these two system together!

Mixing unrelated systems and methods together is like building a QMDJ Frankenstein.  The more variables one adds to a system, the more complicated it becomes, the narrower for its application (like in this case, capital building and huge projects) and the higher probability of something goes wrong.  Isn't this too much for an individual Feng Shui practitioner to handle?

Just because a book was written a few hundred years ago does not necessarily make its contents valid.  Consumers need to do their crap-detection and hype-filtering before paying for courses based on these "ancient books" or "rediscovery of ancient techniques".

My 40 years of experience in Chinese metaphysics tells me if someone hypes about a recent "discovery" of an ancient text, technique or family heirloom manuscript in QMDJ, Feng Shui or any topic, the chance of this being crap is pretty high.  If the newly rediscovered "technique" is so amazing and powerful, it should have been utilized extensively like aspirin or sliced bread.  Why it is forgotten or disappeared into the garbage heaps of history long time ago?

You may find QMDJ-ZWDS, XKDG-ZWDS, QMDJ-XKDG-ZWDS, Mega QMDJ-XKDG-ZWDS-4P-Flying-Star courses.... soon in some marketer websites near you.

"Cat also griefs like human" 貓也重情，不比人差

On March 13, 2016 at 3 PM,  a black male cat was killed by a traffic accident near  a housing complex in Chongqing City, China.  A yellow female cat had stood guard near the body of the male cat and refused to leave despite the traffic.

"This cat is very intelligent.  I am touched deeply 這貓太有靈性了，真的好感人".  "Cat also griefs like human 貓也重情，不比人差 "  Some pedestrians had commented.

This female cat had kissed the male cat body frequently as if trying to "wake up" the male cat.  She also had circled around the motionless body, smelled his back, licked his tail, pushed his head with her paws and even jumped over his body from time to time.

She became nervous and crawled around the male cat whenever a car was driving by.

Bystanders were saddened by the actions of this yellow cat.  Though they had worried about her safety,  they did not want to disturb her or move her to safety.

According to the security guard of the nearby housing complex, these two cats are a stray cat couple in this area.  The deceased cat was the male partner.

Policeman there had determined the male cat was dead and made arrangement to have the carcass removed.

The security guard said that if this yellow cat stays in the area, he and the residents will feed her.

This female had stayed with the male cat carcass till the very end.

Cat also griefs.

RIP Black cat.

Self-penalty, 3-penalties and sickness

Note:   The following is an excerpt from the chapter "CLASHES, PENALTIES AND COMBINATIONS" of the Reference Manual of "Applied Bazi: Sickness Forecasting & Management" course. 

If a chart has 3-penalties like yin-si-shen, chou-xu-wei or chen-wu-you-hai self-penalties AND has no Tian-de天德 or Yue-de月德 or Tian-yi Nobleman天乙贵人 to neutralize the problem, DM (day-master) will suffer many sicknesses and disasters throughout his life.  This problem is more acute if DM is weak with unfavorable luck periods.   

Of course, there are a very small number of people become famous or rich when they run into 3-penalties due to good Feng Shui of their residence or ancestral tombs.  However, for average citizens, they are likely to encounter sickness, disasters or undesirable affairs. 

Yin-si-shen 3-penalties:  Also for charts with yin-shen-si-hai,  DM is prone to injury from brawl, falling down, collision, falling object and sharp object. 

Chou-wei-xu 3-penalties:  Also for charts with chou-wei-xu-chen,  DM is prone to dermatological problems, spleen, stomach, intestinal or acute infectious diseases. 

Heaven, earth and human penalties: It is very inauspicious if each group of 3 branches all show up below-- it could be death (not absolute). 

* Heaven penalties:  zi-wu-mao, zi-wu-you, wu-you-mao  

* Earth penalties:  chen-xu-chou, chen-xu-wei, chou-xu-wei  

* Human penalties:  yin-si-shen, yin-si-hai, si-shen-hai 

Self-penalties:  

* Chen-chen:  DM is prone to spleen and stomach illness.  

* Wu-wu:  DM is amorous, prone to venereal diseases.  

* You-you:  DM is prone to respiratory illness.   

* Hai-hai:  DM is prone to skin problems

Zi-wu-mao-you:  injury due to fighting or being beaten up; water and fire disasters.

Bazi: 3-Penalties and Self-penalties

The top two most read articles of this blog over the years were written in March 2010.  Both articles involve 3-penalties--  "The 4P Secrets of Brother Shape Fashion Icon" and "Bazi: Tiger-snake-monkey and Dog-ox-ram 3-penalities".

http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2010/03/4p-secrets-of-brother-sharp-fashion.html
http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2010/03/bazi-tiger-snake-monkey-and-dog-ox-ram.html

To thank your support here, I write a little more on 3-penalties (3P) and add something new here-- self-penalties.

THREE PENALTIES
3-penalties are derived from the interactions between 3-unities (San-he) and 3-meetings (San-hui).   See the table below:

Formation:	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
SAN-HE	SHEN	ZI	CHEN
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	YIN	MAO	CHEN
SAN-HE	YIN	WU	XU
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	SI	WU	WEI
SAN-HE	SI	YOU	CHOU
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	SHEN	YOU	XU
SAN-HE	HAI	MAO	WEI
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	HAI	ZI	CHOU

From column 1, we can derive:
a.  Shen-yin-si 3-penalties
b.  Hai-hai self-penalty

From column 2, we can derive:
a.  Zi-mao/ Mao-zi 3-penalties*
b.  You-you self-penalty
c.  Wu-wu self-penalty
* Some schools consider zi-wu-mao as a 3-penalties and not zi-mao

From column 3, we can derive:
a.  Chen-chen self-penalty
b.  Xu-chou-wei 3-penalties
 
STATIC vs. ACTIVE 3-PENALTIES
A "static 3P" is formed when a natal chart has all the 3 components of a 3P.  "Static" means little or no negative effect showing up yet.

A natal chart has only one or two components of a 3P and when luck periods bring in the remaining 3P component/s, the chart will have a "active 3P".  "Active" means the effect of 3P in action.

A static 3P becomes an "active 3P" when luck period/s bring in any one of the 3P components.  Effects of 3P (negative or positive depending on the chart) may occur to the person/ event represented by the palace/ star being clashed by the 3P luck element. 

Yin-si-shen: Penalty of Ingratitude 无恩之刑

People with yin-si-shen 3-penalties in their natal charts are likely rebellious, defiant and resistant to authority and discipline. The effects of this 3P are traffic accidents, surgeries, injuries, losing wealth, imprisonment and sickness. 

Xu-chou-wei: Penalty of Upper-hand Bullying 恃势之刑

This 3P is not as serious as yin-si-shen because it is all earth elements coming together.  Males with this penalty are mostly involved in imprisonment.  For females, xu-chou-wei 3P within natal chart means a tortuous life.  They are likely neurotic, superstitious, not too smart (due to too much earth), jinxing close relatives and prone to surgery and miscarriage. 

Zi-mao: Penalty of impertinence 无礼之刑

Zi is water and mao is wood.  Zi and mao are both "peach blossom" elements.  This 3P may involve disaster or losing wealth due to lust or improper relationship.  It may also be an over-protective parent spoiling her child ("too much water rotting/ floating wood") or a child demands too much from his parent ("too much wood dries up water").  Translating to reality, this means one's well-intended assistance may not be accepted by other party OR the other party takes one's help for granted and asks for more.  I also find people with this penalty in their chart are likely be blamed for whatever nice things they do for others instead of getting appreciation.

Negative effects of 3P can be mitigated if there are "Nobleman" (symbolic stars) like Tian-yi Nobleman within their charts.  My "Destiny and Luck Management with Bazi" courses also have methods to neutralize or reduce the effect of 3P.

 Self-penalties  (自刑) “zi xing”

This is based on the principle of same polarity repels. The following are self-penalties:

--Wu and wu

--Chen and chen

--You and you

          -- Hai and hai

People with self-penalty are stubborn, cannot let go and like to dwell on trivialities.  They are likely "shooting themselves on the foot" type and have depression tendency.
