What is "house violating Grand Duke" in Feng Shui?

If you have read this blog for a while, you must have seen topics on individuals "violating" or "clashing" Grand Duke or Tai-sui.  In Feng Shui, a house can "violate" or "clash" Grand Duke too.

According to Chinese metaphysics, Grand Duke is the annual ruler based on the relative movement between Jupiter and earth.  The relative orbit location that Jupiter projects to earth has a strong energy called Grand Duke.  One should not disturb this energy with activities and "moving earth" (digging) or disasters and misfortune will follow.

Ancient Chinese has humanized this astrological force and assigned 60 historical figures to each year in the 60 Jia-zi years Chinese calendar cycle as "Grand Duke" of the year.

This Grand Duke energy is based on the Chinese zodiac animal sign (means earthly branch).  So if your house facing is on a heavenly stem, your house will be free from this violating Grand Duke business-- one less hassle to worry about.  This is why experienced Feng Shui practitioners would prefer choosing a house with a heavenly stem facing.

The opposite side/direction of Grand Duke is the "year-breaker" or Sui-po.  It is also not to be disturbed with activities and "moving earth".

The picture below shows the precise 15 degree location of Grand Duke for each year (click picture to enlarge):

The opposite side of Grand Duke is "Year-breaker".  E.g., for 2017, GD is you-rooster and YB is mao-rabbit.
4 TYPES OF FENG SHUI VIOLATION OF GRAND DUKE
1.  Grand Duke at the door and house facing
The facing of a house is at Grand Duke or Year-breaker direction.  This includes door facing GD even if the facing is not in the GD direction.

2.  Location violating Grand Duke
Function-specific rooms like office, kitchen, bedroom locate in Grand Duke location

3.  Moving earth in Grand Duke direction/ location
"Moving earth" means digging, construction or remodeling here.

4.  Marriage movement
If the traveling direction from home of the bride relative to the new marital residence is facing Grand Duke direction, this is considered violating Grand Duke.

5.  Home moving movement
If the traveling direction from old home the new residence is facing Grand Duke direction, this is considered violating Grand Duke.

Most info on Grand Duke location just gives you the major 8 directions like South or SW.  This will make more houses violate Grand Duke than the reality.  Today is your lucky day, I take out a table from the course manual of my
"Feng Shui Toolbox: Sha-qi, Health/Wealth and Career” w/ 7 hr. HD video
to give you the exact 15 degrees to check if your house violates Grand Duke.
 Note:  The red entry means in years 2026 and 2028, both Grand Duke and 5-yellow disaster star are in the same location.  Avoid digging there at all costs. (updated 12/13/2016)

"Ken, is there any remedy for house violating Grand Duke and what if we really need to do construction in Grand Duke location?"
