Ken's Cyber Cave: Flying Star academic location

Last week we have talked about academic positions based on 8-Mansions and Flying Star Feng Shui. Now we will discuss academic positions based on the birth year stem of your kids. This is a more personalized method of locating academic positions which does NOT change with time.

"Stems" and "branches" are the "ABC" of Chinese metaphysics. There are 10 stems and 12 branches. Most of us probably are familiar with "branches" because it also represents the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. But in our case here, we look for the stem of the birth year. Below is a simple method of finding out the birth year stem of your kid and the respective academic position:

For example, if your kid was born in 1991, check the table above for the row with "1", his birth year is "Xin" and his academic position is in the North. Please note that birthday before February 4 is counted as previous year. For instance, someone born in January 22, 1991 is considered born in 1990 based on the Chinese calendar.

Between the 3 methods of locating academic positions, which one is the best? According to Feng Shui people, the best would be the one based on the house sitting/facing, followed by Flying Star method and the personalized one.

It is not unusual to find your ideal location is occupied by a bathroom or kitchen or simply a missing corner. You may use the second best location and so on.

Finally, avoid a house with bathroom in southeast sector because it is the academic location based on the Bagua or 8-Trigrams. This is called "polluting Wen-chang". Your kids will have problems in school. You need to consult a Feng Shui practitioner to correct the problem.

With the current COVID-19 pandemic, most schools teach students through online learning. Will your kids lose competitive advantages to other better equipped or smarter classmates? Can you do something to enhance the learning capacity of your kids?

Feng Shui may help because there is an "academic position" (Wen-chang 文昌位)in Feng Shui. Putting your kid in this position to do their study will enhance his/ her learning capacity and IQ.

There are more than three ways to locate this academic position in your home. This article shows two first. The article next week will disclose the third one and which method is more effective.

I. ACADEMIC POSITION BASED ON HOUSE SITTING/FACING

This method is based on Bazhai or 8-Mansions Feng Shui. First you need to figure out the "sitting" and "facing" directions of your home.

The main door of your house is the "facing direction". The opposite side of your main door is the "sitting" of the house. Below are the "academic position" (AP for short) of:

Sitting North facing South, the AP is in NE
Sitting South facing North, the AP is in South
Sitting East facing West, the AP is in NW
Sitting West facing East, the AP is in SW
Sitting SE facing NW, the AP is SW
Sitting NW facing SE, the AP is in East
Sitting NE facing SW, the AP is in North
Sitting SW facing NE, the AP is in West

II. ACADEMIC POSITION BASED ON ANNUAL ACADEMIC STAR

This method is based on the Annual chart of Flying Star Feng Shui. Find the location of annual 4-green star (best) or 1-water star and put your kid there to study to boost academic performance. You may find a Flying Star calculator or following the following table to find the 4 and 1 star locations. Remember these stars change location every year.
