Minimalist Feng Shui Guide for 2013 Year of Snake

Gui-si or year of Water Snake will be here in a few weeks.  You may want to fix the regions in your house that will become "dangerous" to fix or dig after Feb.3, 2013 now.

We use the annual Feng Shui chart to evaluate the yearly movements of Feng Shui energies. This chart is based on Purple White Method which holds that 1,6, 8 and 9-star locations are auspicious. 2-black sickness and 5-yellow disaster star locations are inauspicious. 

The annual chart for 2013 is interesting because all the stars return to their original  post-heaven Bagua locations.  For the year of snake,  5-yellow disaster star will be in the center of every house.   You want to fix this 5-yellow energy if your stairway is at the center of your house due to frequent movements.   Tai Sui or Grand Duke is at Si mountain or SSE location.  San Sha or 3-killings are in Yin (ENE), Mao (E) and Chen (ESE) mountains or locations.  Sui-po or year-breaker is at Hai (NNW) mountain. Avoid movements, digging, drilling and constructions in these locations.


"Minimalist Feng Shui"  here fixes only 2-5, 5-5, and 9-5 star combinations in regions with activities.  You don't need to put up remedies or Feng Shui monsters in all 9-palaces of your house, especially in region of no activity like storage room and guest room.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
Grand Duke is at Si mountain (SSE) -- minimize movements and avoid construction or digging.    If your house faces Si mountain, your house is said to be "Chong" or clashing Grand Duke.  You may want to put a Grand Duke Talisman there for protection (see my previous message on how to get one).  It is auspicious to have Grand Duke at your back but NOT facing him.

Sui Po or year-breaker is at Hai mountain (NNW)-- avoid construction or digging.

San Sha or 3-killings are at Yin, Mao and Chen mountains (Yin mountain to Chen mountain region) -- avoid construction or digging.  It is OK to face San Sha direction but NOT sitting on them. Traditional fix for San Sha is ki-lun figurine.  But if you cannot get or afford ki-lun, you may use a sword-waving archangel St. Michael figurine or picture instead.

5-yellow disaster star at center palace - avoid construction or digging and movements.  Put up metal or coin/salt solution fix there, especially if your house-sitting is in SW because of the 2-5 combination in the center.  Put up a white crystal fix if your house-sitting is in the south due to 9-5 combination in the center. (Note: North-sitting house needs 9-5 fix in the South and Northeast- sitting house needs 2-5 fix in SW).

5-tiger sha at Wu (south) , Wei (SSW) and Ding (SSW) mountains-- avoid construction or digging and movements.

Yang nobleman sign for this year is  Si (snake).  Yin nobleman is Mao (rabbit).

You need to do a good date-selection if you need to do construction in any of the above locations (mountains/ palace) or better doing it before end of the current year (dragon year).

People with pig and snake zodiac sign should avoid seeing corpse being put into a coffin or burial for this year.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Advanced reminders for 2009 year of Ox

I keep receiving emails for help with remodeling precautions for this year and next year. Instead of answering individual emails, I post the info here.

Ji-chou ox year is 4 months from now. But it will be helpful to know the "forbidden locations" for construction ahead of time, so you can do it in 2008 instead of in 2009. Besides, areas that are "forbidden" this year are likely be "open" for constructions next year, so you can delay your remodeling project till next year.

Here are a recap of "forbidden zones" for 2008 Wu-zi year (ends at February 4, 2009):
===============================================
1. 5-yellow disaster star will be in the south. Sui-Po or "year breaker" will also be in the south or wu-mountain.
--- avoid digging or construction; avoid movements

2. Grand Duke or Tai Sui, the "ruler" of the year will be in zi mountain or in the North.
--- avoid digging or construction; you can sit on GD location but not facing it.

3. San Sha or 3-killings will be in the South (si, wu, ding mountains)
--- definitely avoid movement or digging here, Sui-po year breaker and 5-yellow disaster star are also in this sector!

4. "5-tiger sha" is in Wu, ding (South) and Wei(SW-S) mountains, the most vicious sha that attributes to multiple deaths and serious injuries or sickness.
-- definitely no digging or even putting heavy object on this area. This is the major reason that South side is the worst area to monkey around this year!. If you plan to do remodeling here, FORGET IT! WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR! If you have already dug and ran into problems, what can you do? There is not much you can do but praying for forgiveness and do more charity work than usual.

5. The auspicious 8-star (wealth) will be in the east and 9-purple star in the SE. You may want some movements here.

People with horse and mouse animal signs and were born in the first, fifth and eleventh months of the lunar calendar should avoid attending funeral for the year.
============================END OF 2008

Ji-chou earth-ox year will begin at Feb. 5, 2009, the following are the precautions:

Ji-chou year is a strong yin-earth year as both Ji and Chou are yin earth. People whose favorable element is earth will have great luck this year, especially if earth is your wealth element. If you unfavorable element is earth, then you better lay low for the year.

Chou is one of the 3-penalties (3P) elements of wei-chou-xu, so if this annual luck and/or your 10-year luck or your native chart bring together all the 3P elements-- you better pray only positive fame and not injuries/surgery to come. OR take my upcoming "Destiny Management" course on how to handle this situation.

The annual chart for 2009 is: (top is south, bottom is north)

8 4 6
7 9 2
3 5 1

A. 5-yellow star will be in the North. Sui-Po or year breaker will also be in the SW-S or Wei-mountain.
--- avoid digging or construction; avoid movements

B. Grand Duke or Tai Sui, the "ruler" of the year will be in Chou mountain (NE-N).
--- GD and 5-yellow disaster star are very close to each other! It is possible to dig on both unintentionally. Avoid digging or construction; you can sit on GD location but not facing it.

C. San Sha or 3-killings will be in the whole East sector (Jia, Mao and Yi mountains)
--- definitely avoid movement or digging here

D. "5-tiger sha" is in Chen, Xun and Si mountains (SE region), the most vicious sha that attributes to multiple deaths and serious injuries and sickness.
-- definitely no digging or even moving heavy object to this area. Chen mountain SE-E) overlap with one of the San Sha, making it the most dangerous sector to dig for this ox year.

E. The auspicious 8-star (wealth) will be in the SE, but part of the sector is Chen mountain and Si mountains (part of 5-tiger sha)! So if may want to put your enhancements ONLY in Xun mountain (SE)! If you are not sure, put NO movement there. The little wealth generated does not worth the risk!

The relative "safe" and prosperous sector for this year is NW with 1-white career star.

People with ox and ram animal signs and were born in the third, sixth and 12th months of the lunar calendar should avoid attending funeral for the ox year. Lunar month is about one month slower than the western calendar.

What can you do if you must do constructions in the forbidden zones? Hire a good Feng Shui master to do a auspicious date-selection and follow certain procedures. Event like this needs some "bleeding" (of money) or exchange of energy with the universe, in order to settle your karma debt.
