FREE ANNUAL ASTROLOGY/ BAZI GUIDE
People born in 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2013 with snake animal sign clash Grand Duke this year.  This could mean:

• moving
• promotion or demotion
• major illness
• travels
• funeral
• accident/ death

Actually people with si (snake) day-branch in their Bazi charts are in more danger than animal sign clashing Grand Duke.  They are:  Ji-si, xin-si, gui-si, yi-si and ding-si day pillars. Day-branch stands for spouse palace.  This may mean marital problems (if married, spouse may leave or die) but also means getting married if single. 

In fact, any Bazi chart with Ji-si, xin-si, gui-si, yi-si and ding-si in any pillar of their Bazi chart have some troubles in terms of the family members each pillar represents.  To find if your chart has any one of these pillars, key in your birthday here:

People with Gui-si and Yi-si  day-pillars in their Bazi charts better pray more because their day-pillar fanyin Grand Duke (clashing 2019 Grand Duke from stem to branch).  This could mean major sickness, accident or disaster to the person or his/her spouse.  Avoid taking risks/ major decisions, attending funeral, visiting the sick in hospitals and unnecessary travels for this year of pig (2/4/2019- 2/3/2020).

One remedy for the above Grand Duke clash is to adopt a cat from your local animal humane society or rescue a stray/ homeless cat.  This is because cat is yin or tiger in Bazi.  Yin combines with Grand Duke Hai and neutralizes the clash.

If you cannot handle a cat adoption, the next best thing is to get a Grand Duke talisman from your local temple or from:

Have you enhanced the 4 major wealth positions?

Do you know that wealth enhancement is more than just enhancing the annual 8-star?  Some Feng Shui enhancement methods do not function well because they have neglected some other available wealth positions.

There are 4 major wealth positions that can affect your wealth luck. 

CURRENT PERIOD AUSPICIOUS LOCATION

According to "3-Cycles-9-Periods" Feng Shui, the dominant auspicious direction for the current Period 8 is Northeast.  This northeast direction is also considered as the "public wealth position" which lasts for 20 years (2004- 2023).  For Period 9 (2024- 2043), this direction will be the South.

If you want to have good wealth luck, you need to make sure there is no missing corner in the NE side of your house or business. Keep this corner clean and bright.  You may put plants and wealth symbols in NE to enhance the wealth energy there.

ANNUAL WEALTH POSITION
The annual wealth position is based on the annual location of current "timely" star.  For Period 8, the annual location of 8-star is the wealth position of current year.  Below is the annual wealth location of next 11 years:

This location should also be clean and bright without heavy objects here.  You may enhance this location with plants, moving water items and wealth symbols.  It is inauspicious if a toilet sits here.

FIXED WEALTH POSITION
The left and right corners diagonal to the main door are called "fixed wealth positions".  If you cannot use the previous wealth locations due to missing corner or heavy objects, you may use this fixed wealth locations to do your wealth enhancements.

You may enhance this location with plants, moving water items and wealth symbols.  There should not be any window in this fixed wealth location.
 
PERSONAL WEALTH POSITION
This wealth position is based on the Bazi birth chart of an individual.  So it is tailored to individual energy profile.  You need to find out the your own "daymaster" and then match it to the wealth position below.  Check the appendix below on how to calculate your daymaster. 


Like other wealth positions, this location should be clean/ bright and is not a missing corner.  You may enhanced it with plants and wealth symbols.  If this location overlaps with other wealth position, it will double the wealth effect.

However, if this location has window, door or is a missing corner, your personal wealth luck will suffer or cannot accumulate wealth.

If wealth element is unfavorable in your Bazi chart, then this location will not have effect on you.

REMARKS
Some Feng Shui wealth enhancement methods do not work well because they may have left out one or more of these wealth positions.

If you can maintain and enhance all these 4 major wealth positions, you may have better wealth luck.  If for any reason, you cannot enhance one or more of these positions, you at least try to enhance whatever is left.  You also need to pay attention to the annual locations of 5-yellow disaster star, Grand Duke, 3-Killings and year-breaker when doing your enhancement.  Consult a Feng Shui practitioner if you have problems sorting out these stars.

Finally, these wealth positions will help IF your Bazi chart shows that you are in good wealth luck period.  If not, it at most prevents you from losing more wealth.

 APPENDIX:  How to find out your day-master
1.  Log into http://bazi-calculator.com/
2.  Type in his birthday
3.  Click "Calculate" button
4.  Check the "Day" column of the table in the left side
5.  The example here shows a Wu-earth daymaster.

Minimalist Feng Shui for 2018

This is a "green" article recycled from last year with updates.  If you are darn lazy, simply read the following picture and go back to your sweet dream.

No digging/ movements in regions with blue arrows:

• Region between 142.5- 217.5 degrees  (San Sha and 5-yellow locations)
• 247.5- 292.5 degrees (2-black star)-- use metal cure
• 292.5- 307.5 degrees (Grand Duke)
• 112.5- 127.5 degrees (Sui-Po or year-breaker)

"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 with no activity like storage room or guest room.

This year Sui-po (year-breaker) is in the 8-wealth star region.  Be very careful with the location where you put your water-fountain or other wealth-enhancement monsters.

You should do a good date-selection if you need to do construction in any of the above locations with blue arrow (mountains/ palace).  San-sha and 5-Yellow star share the same location this year.  Make sure you do not provoke their "anger" by digging and movements there.

People with dragon and dog zodiac signs should avoid seeing corpse being put into a coffin or burial for this year if they don't want bad luck and sickness.

Yang nobleman sign for this year is Chou (ox).  Yin nobleman is Wei (ram).

2018 Wu-xu Feng Shui year will start on February 4 @ 5:30 am.  Remember to move your Feng Shui monsters/ remedies before that time.  Do a house-cleaning/ cleansing on Feb. 3 if you have suffered misfortunes during 2017 ding-you year.

House and People Violating Grand Duke or Tai-sui

This post is based on 2015 "Grand Duke Talisman charity drive" with updates for 2017.

If you have read my old message about functions of Grand Duke, you know that there are two Grand Dukes watching over your shoulder, counting the good and bad deeds that you have done and executing rewards and misfortunes accordingly. This is a major rationale that donation to get your Grand Duke talisman.  When your talisman is grounded with a charitable deed, GD is less likely to execute any misfortunes due from your karma account. Another rationale for donation is the exchange of energy-- using a charitable deed in exchange of protection energy from Grand Duke.

For 2017, I have added the topic for house violating Grand Duke, the cure is either avoiding activities/ earth-digging or using the Grand Duke talisman in the Grand Duke location.

2017 GRAND DUKE GENERAL TANG JIE   唐杰
2017 is Ding-you or year of fire-rooster. Grand Duke for the year is General Tang Jie who was a military officer in Song Dynasty (618- 907).  Tang was born with super physical prowess.  He was humble and respected by local folks.  He had passed the government military officer exam and become a military officer.   

General Tang was ordered to stop the bandit disturbance in the South.  He had neutralized the bandit chief and decapitated 58 bandits.   Local people were no longer under the threat of plunder and killing.  The government had rewarded Tang with higher rank and silver.

丁酉太歲生於唐代安鄉〈今湖北省安鄉縣〉，名唐杰，字子文。自幼練習武藝，因而身體碩壯。更有一身特殊奇大的力量，在挑擔和舉重時表現突出。然而也受嚴格的禮教，所以待人十分謙讓，為地方人敬重；遇到有人仗力欺辱鄉民時，大家就請唐杰出來主持公道，唐杰只要出面，紛爭就自然平息下去。後來唐杰順利地在科考中考上武舉人，使他出生地大感光彩。因武舉人比一般文舉人還困難，不但要考武藝兵學，也要考基本的文科。當時，南方盜寇動亂，唐杰奉旨到南方平定寇亂，斬殺為首的賊子多人，又乘勝追殺賊寇於桃花岡，斬賊首等五十八人，立了平定賊寇的奇功，使鄉民不再被搶奪殺害。因此，朝廷賜蟒服、銀兩等給與獎勵。唐杰的功勛和德行，受到普遍的推崇。

2017  GRAND DUKE TALISMAN FOR BAZI CLASHES

Ding-you or year of  fire-rooster can be challenging for people with Gui-mao or Xin-mao pillar in their Bazi charts because these pillars "fan-yin" or "battle" with both the stem and branch of the Grand Duke.  It is especially serious if your day-pillar is  Gui-mao or Xin-mao because it means something may happen to you or your spouse.

In addition, besides the year branch, if any of the branch in your Bazi chart has a mao-rabbit, that branch is also clashing Grand Duke.  The effect may be seen from the people and events represented by that branch location.  For example, if you have a mao month branch clash, the effect may happen to daymasters' parent or sibling.

 Here are the four groups of people who need Grand Duke Talismans:
 1. "Fu-yin" or same animal sign of Grand Duke 值太岁-- people with rooster sign
ROOSTER : years born-- 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981,  1993, 2005, 2017  
Symptoms: obstacles, stagnation or running "reverse" instead of forward and not suitable for travels.  Damages in career and wealth luck and relationship.  Rooster also "self-penalizing" itself when runs into rooster year.

 2. "Fan-yin" or "clashing" the animal sign of Grand Duke 冲太岁-- people with rabbit sign
RABBIT: years born-- 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011  
Symptoms: big fluctuations in luck, wealth, career, relationship and health; traffic accident, hurt by metal object, sickness, surgery, losing competitions/wealth, moving, death,  negative romance, quarrels and etc.
SPECIAL NOTE:  Mao-you clash is a powerful clash involving wood and metal battling-- negative romance causing serious financial loss or even death or traffic accidents and surgery (injuries by metal).  If your chart has zi-rat, it will get even worse.  If your chart has both zi-rat and wu-horse, pump up your life insurance policy because you have all the 4-cardinal clashes elements-- zi, wu, mao and you.

 3. "Hai" or "prosecuting" the animal sign of Grand Duke 害太岁-- people with dog sign
DOG:  years born-- 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970,  1982, 1994, 2006  
Symptoms: backstabbing at work, bad interpersonal relationship, jealousy from others, emotional problems, success slips away in the last minute and low Feng Shui luck.

 4. "Po" or "damaging" the animal sign of Grand Duke 破太岁---- people with rat sign
RAT:  years born-- 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
Symptoms: interpersonal relationship problems, negative romance, marital problem, backstabbing, skin and nervous system problems-- due to over-confidence and extreme/ radical positions.

 GRAND DUKE TALISMAN FOR FENG SHUI REMEDY
1.  House violating Grand Duke

Click to enlarge

In 2017 ding-you year, if your house faces You-rooster mountain or W2 (262.5 to 277.5 degree, west) direction, your house is said to be "violating Grand Duke."  House violating GD will affect the overall luck, health and well-being of the people living inside.  The remedy is either avoiding movements, construction, earth-digging and demolition there or put up a Grand Duke talisman facing W2 direction.  The opposite side of Grand Duke is Year-breaker (Sui-po, E2 or east).  This location should avoid digging and activities too. 

Even with the GD talisman, if you need to do construction, you still need to do a date-selection for an auspicious date and start digging on a non-GD direction and finish last on the GD direction.  I have checked through the year of Rooster and compiled a construction calendar with dates that can over-ride the effect of Grand Duke, San-sha and 5-yellow star.  Please look for info in this blog in the near future. 

2.  Desk violating Grand Duke 
If your desk or wherever you sit for an extended time faces You-rooster mountain or W2 direction, you can put up a Grand Duke talisman there for protection.  It is not auspicious to face the Grand Duke direction.  It weakens your competition power in business/career and examinations. However, if you arrange your seat so that W2 will be at your back (and put a Grand Duke talisman there), you will get Grand Duke as support and is good for competition and business. 

3.  Moving direction violating Grand Duke
If you move to a new house or residence, the relative direction from your old house to the new house is facing W2 grand Duke direction, you are considered "violating GD".  Remedy will be choosing an auspicious date to move or at the least, choose a different route of traveling, like driving to a different direction in the beginning, take a break for 15 minutes or more and then to the final destination.  This will convert the original GD direction to a non-GD direction. You may carry a GD talisman too. 

4.  Marriage direction violating Grand Duke
If you get married and the relative direction of your new marital residence to the old residence is facing SW2 grand Duke direction,  you are considered "violating GD".  Remedy will be choosing an auspicious date to move or at the least, choose a different route of traveling, like driving to a different direction in the beginning, take a break for 15 minutes or more and then to the final destination.  This will convert the original GD direction to a non-GD direction.  You may carry a GD talisman too.


 GRAND DUKE TALISMAN OFFERS
 This year we use digital delivery of Grand Duke Talismans because "snail mail" is slow and prone to losses.  Ken Lai will create a GD Talisman with user name, city and country imprinted, bless and "activate" individually on screen digitally.  This unique activated GD file will be emailed to you.  You can print as many copies as you want (but for one unique-named person only).  In this way, you can replace soiled or damaged talismans.  You can carry one talisman in your wallet and post one in your home and/or office for Feng Shui remedy.  You get more "mileage" from a single donation this way.

The offer is the same as previous years: your charity donation of US$30 or more to any legitimate local or international charity will get you a specially blessed Grand Duke talisman with your name inscribed (see below for special rate for countries with lower annual income per capita).    Here are some sample charities suggested in the past drives:

• homeless shelter
• Save-the-Children (www.savethechildren.org)
• UNICEF (United Nation Children's Fund)
• Smile Train (www.smiletrain.org)
• children hospital
• food shelves/soup kitchen
• Red Cross
• animal shelter/ humane society
• Doctors without border (https://donate.doctorswithoutborders.org/onetime.cfm)

Donation made to help alleviate an urgent human/ animal need or suffering (e.g., feeding the hungry, tornado/ typhoon victims or homeless) gets you more karma credits than donation for public good or improvement of public life like church/ temple or public radio/TV.

If you are worried about privacy issues and future solicitations-- please be assured that I will not email you in the future. You will send me NO money. You send your money directly to your favorite local or international charity.  You do NOT need to purchase any additional item from me or anyone else. No future solicitation of any type will be sent to you.  This offer is for people who have no access to Daoist temples.  Please support your local temple if you have access to one.

If you need more than one Grand Duke Talismans, here is the discount schedule:
 --one talisman US$30 donation (US$5 if you are unemployed/under-employed)
 --two talismans US$50 donation ($10 if unemployed /under-employed )
 --three talismans US$60 donation ($15 if unemployed /under-employed )
(you may go to www.xe.com to calculate the equivalent of US$30 to your local currency)

NOTE:  People from countries with annual personal income per capita income below US$8000.00 can use the "under-employed and unemployed rate".
 
Talisman that is grounded with a charitable event works more effectively because it has an exchange of one type of energy for protection energy.

To claim your talismans and application instructions, please forward your donation receipt with the talisman recipient names and address to kenlai88@yahoo.com with the following info:
1.  user name:
2.  city
3.  country

Get your Grand Duke Talismans before Feb. 3, 2017 if possible.  Year of Rooster will start on Feb. 3, 2017.  Your individually consecrated digital talisman will be emailed to you in about 2 weeks after receiving your proof of donation.

Thank you for participating in this charity drive.

Surviving construction at 5-yellow disaster star location

A few weeks ago, I was waken up by loud machinery noises of cutting and hammering from outside my home.  I went out and found that my dragon side (left) neighbor has contracted a construction firm to replace the vinyl siding and roof of his house.  Both were damaged by a hail storm earlier and insurance pays for the repair.  Essentially this neighbor has a "skin replacement" for his house.

Besides waking me up early for a week or more (I am a night owl), the biggest problem I see was a big part of his house is in the north-east side of my house.  5-yellow disaster star is in the NE this year.  Excessive noises and movement may instigate the wrath of this star, causing injury, accident, losing wealth and even death.

5-yellow star is earth in nature, the fix usually is metal or coin-salt solution.

5-yellow star in NE

I have searched my house for possible remedies and found a gold-colored calabash and some Chinese Qian-long coins.  Qian-long was one of the emperors during China's Qing Dynasty. This combination should do the job.

Normally I put six coins in a circle shape to neutralize 5-yellow star.  I was too lazy to take 6 coins out of my string inventory of coins.  So I have used all the coins (around 60) in the string and put it on top of the calabash.  I put this remedy combination in the NE region facing the construction site.   You may use your own local copper or brass coins instead.  Just make sure the denomination of the coin is not 25 cents, 5 cents, two dollars or 5 dollars each.

This roofing and siding job has taken about 10 days.  I am still in one piece and no major mishaps happened.  However, my sales suffered during the period.  But this is still better than losing an arm or leg.  You win some and lose some.

Time to move your Feng Shui monsters and fixes

Although the Chinese Lunar New Year won't come until Feb. 8 for this year, new Feng Shui year officially starts today (Feb. 4, Li-Chun or Spring begins).  Now is the time to move your Feng Shui monsters like ki-lin (move to south to fix San-sha or 3-killings), 5-yellow metal fix (move to NE) and other remedies.

If you do not have a ki-lin or cannot afford one, you can print out the ki-lin picture here.

The picture below is a rare Chinese New Year poster from a few hundred years ago.  It has accumulated tons of mass consciousness about wealth and celebrations.  You may print it out and put it in SW (annual wealth star location) for good luck.

Happy Year of Monkey!

Misplaced Feng Shui Fountain Can Kill you

Other than money and sex, this heading should get your attention.

Feng Shui fountain is used to "enhance" the wealth water star in Flying Star Feng Shui.  Water symbolizes wealth in Feng Shui and moving water to model flowing wealth energy.  In Period 7 (1984- 2003),  the wealth star is the 7-white metal star.  For Period 8 (2004-2023), it is the 8-white earth star.

However, 7-white metal star becomes the "robber" star after 2003.  Make sure you remove your Feng Shui fountains designed for the 7-white metal star enhancement if you forget to do so.

Some people get very excited when they are told or read that Feng Shui fountain can enhance their wealth luck with proper placement.  They may think that Feng Shui fountains are like oil diggers, the more diggers (or fountains) you put out, the more oil (or wealth) one can extract from the universe.

Some people try to put as many Feng Shui fountains inside their houses as possible.  But how?  Because normally one can only put one fountain in the current Feng Shui Period's wealth star location, it is difficult to put more than 2.

By using the concept of  "Every object has its own Tai-ji (center, universe)",  every room in a house can be treated as a single Feng Shui entity with its own wealth star location.  In Feng Shui jargon, some people use the small Tai-ji of individual room within a house to squeeze in more Feng Shui water fountains.

I have seen people put water fountain in their bedrooms.

"Ken, cut the craps.  How does Feng Shui fountain kill us?"

According to Yi-jing (Book of Changes),  "Auspiciousness, inauspiciousness, fortune and misfortune are attributable to movements."

Every house inevitably has some sectors or "palaces" that are auspicious and some sectors that are inauspicious. Basic Feng Shui principle is to arrange movements or activities in auspicious sectors and minimize movements in inauspicious sectors.

By putting a Feng Shui fountain in almost every sector of a house, even using the small Tai-ji trick, one will invariably put movements in a sector that should have minimal movements-- like sectors with 5-yellow disaster star, 7-robber star or 2-sickness star.

Fake rock mountain is the form for 5-yellow star

When annual star like 2 or 5 lands on sector with 2 or 5 with a running water fountain, it could activate the negativity of 5-yellow disaster star.  Star combinations of 2-5, 5-5 or 5-2 are especially dangerous. Someone can get seriously sick or accident or even death.

One may misplace numerous non-movable Feng Shui paraphernalia like ki-lun, dragon-turtle, calabash or the likes without serious consequence.  But not with moving water.

Effects of moving water can be swift and merciless.

I have seen some people do DIY water-dragon (water drains network) and become sick or broke for years.

Borrowing from the "no-smoking" message from the late Yul Brynner:  "Don't play with moving water,  whatever you do, just don't play with moving water."

Hire an experienced Feng Shui practitioner to handle your moving water issues. If you want to keep it simple, remove all Feng Shui fountains from your house.

5-yellow disaster star at my gate

5-yellow disaster star is at the southeast for the 2012.  One should avoid movements in location with negative stars like 5-yellow.  My main door and garage door face southeast.  So I keep my fingers crossed....

Not much happen throughout the year until last November and early December, when the month star 4-green wood is at the center and 3-jade wood star in southeast.  Within a few weeks, the torsion spring of my garage door broke, followed by the lock of my front door and garage door opener.  All are door and metal-related problems. I guess strong wood energy in November had cracked metal which was drained by 5-yellow earth.

I have lost a small fortune for all the door and lock repairs.  This is called "fending off major disasters with losing wealth".

Today while I put up a flood light for my driveway,  my neighbor Gary asked, " Ken, you have put up a surveillance camera last month and then changed your door lock.  What do you put up this time?  What happens?  My luck sucks lately.  Your cousin told me that you can put a curse on me because you got my birth date. Do you put a curse on me? "

I have laughed my head off and replied,

"Pal,  I bought the surveillance camera because of the Thanksgiving sale.  My door lock had broken, my garage door torsion spring and opener were broken because the disaster star is at my door direction.  Your luck is down probably because you have the same door direction.  I am too lazy to put a curse on you."

"I have burnt native American sage around my house.  I have meditated and created a bubble surrounding my house.  So no negative energy can go through and hurt me!"  Gary said.

"Don't worry, it hurts me more if I put out curses.  Besides, I had forgotten your birth date."  Said I.

I had read Gary's 4P chart when he had lost his job last year and given him some metaphysical tricks to find another job.  He found a new job within a few months but did not bother to tell me.  And I had worried about him and his family for another 6 months until I heard from another neighbor that he is working.  Same thing happened to me with another "formerly" unemployed neighbor.

Well, at least they had mowed my lawn and shuffled snow for me in return......

Darn!  How come he knows I have changed my door lock?  I do it myself and I think no one had watched.

Your big neighbors always watch!


Happy New Year!

Church Bells, Temple Bells and House-cleansing

Church bells inside a bell tower

I have watched a BBC documentary "Come Bell Ringing" last night.  Conductor and musician Charles Hazlewood  had created a concert with the bell towers of 3 churches and a group of bell ringers in Cambridge, England. There are some historical footnotes about medieval Europeans had used bells to expel evil and sickness.

Bell ringing during a medieval funeral

In China or most Buddhist countries,  one can find a giant temple bell in a temple. The biggest temple bell in China is located in Tianning Temple in Changzhou City.  It weighs 15 tons and sits on the 13th floor of a pagoda.  When this bell is rung, its tone can be heard within a 10 miles radius.

The 15-tons Bell of Tianning Temple

Chinese Buddhists and Daoists believe that the metal sound of copper or brass bell can cleanse and purify the qi or energy of nearby environment, especially when the bell is inscribed with holy texts and blessings.  These texts and blessings will be converted to sound energy and spread into the area nearby to cleanse and harmonize the energy field there.

It seems that both eastern and western cultures believe in that metal sound has certain mythical cleansing power.

In Chinese Feng Shui, metal sound is believe to cure the 2-black sickness and 5-yellow disaster stars.  The rationale is that both 2 and 5 stars are earth in nature and metal sound is akin to their children crying for help (note:  this is based on 5-elements theory-- earth produces metal). These negative earth energies, which would have caused sickness or misfortune, will be re-directed to nurture metal.  Therefore, the Feng Shui cure for 2 and 5-stars-- small copper bells are hanged at the door or even chiming grand father clocks are used.

QUICK AND EASY WAY TO CLEANSE YOUR HOUSE
You may want to do a cleansing of your house if:

• you feel depressed lately
• you feel tired or no energy all the time
• many people get sicked in your house
• overall family luck drops or suffer more accidents
• your house is full of tension
• annual end of the year cleansing 

The cheapest and easiest way to cleanse your house is go buy a copper or brass hand-bell.  You may buy a Tibetan Bell if you can afford one.  First you cleanse the bell by running it over lighted candle or incense urn.  You may also cleanse the bell with holy water obtained from a church.

The house cleansing process is easy-- simply ringing the bell while walking around your house. While walking, visualize heaven or the universe is sending cleansing and blessing energies into your house and the stagnant and sickness energies are pushing out. Make sure the dark corners, especially those that cannot see sunlight, are also "rung" at. Those are the high risk areas for hidden "stuff" or energies.

How about adding blessing and amplify your manifestations while cleansing your house?

Today is your lucky day.  Here is how:  Simply write down the blessing like "good health", 'harmony", "better wealth-luck" (don't ask for $1M), "improving career".....etc.  on a small piece of paper and stick it on the bell.  Make the paper removable so that you can change your wish and blessing whenever you do house-cleansing.
