Earth's shifting magnetic pole may throw your house into void line

I have just read an article about earth's shifting magnetic pole affecting the runway labels of Boeing airfield.

http://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/pilots-check-your-bearings-boeing-field-catches-up-with-earths-magnetic-field/

This article quotes NASA, ".... the magnetic north pole has crept northward by more than 600 miles since the early 19th century and is currently migrating northward about 40 miles per year.  When the magnetic poles shift more than five degrees, the rounded numbers used to designate runways need to be changed."

This natural phenomenon also affects Feng Shui measurements because Feng Shui formula (li-qi) depends on magnetic field.

If your house is sitting around the middle of a "mountain" (15 degrees region), shifting 1 or 2 degrees may not change the Feng Shui conditions much.  But if the house is within 2.5 degrees to the borderline of a mountain, it could fall into the "replacement star" region and even worse, small void line and even big void line (depending on the mountain).  Read the following blog articles for what happens if your house sits on a void line.

Therefore, one should have a new Feng Shui audit once every few years or at least do another magnetic measurement, to make sure your house does not fall into a void line. Read the following link of my void line articles for what happens if your house sits on a void line and other factors that may push your house into a void line other than earth's shifting magnetic pole.

Void Lines Causes and Effects in Feng Shui

Note:  The following is taken from the chapter "System of void lines" in the  "Feng Shui Toolbox: Sha-qi, Health/ Wealth and Career” course manual.  

“Void line” means “out of gua” (trigram) or outside a sector.  A house sitting on void line means it has no direction and also no 5-elements “qi” coming in.  Human beings are products of yin and yang. They need 5-elements qi to survive and prosper.  So if a house is located on a void line, it implies the occupants will have little or no luck, suffer sickness, suicide, murder, mental illness, chronic sickness, robbery, bankruptcy, incest, dwindling wealth and poor familial relationship.  It is like a house sitting on top of Mt. Himalaya with insufficient oxygen for the occupants.

We definitely should NOT put a door or house-facing on a void line.

Sometimes a house becomes sitting on a void line over a period.  It could be attributed to:

1. change of earth luck—“earth qi” or “dragon qi” runs away or expires
2. change in external environment, like suddenly a big building or sign is built in front of your property, blocking the flow of qi into your house.
3. change of indoor environment, like improper partitions and furniture arrangement
4. accumulated bad karma of occupants
5. occurrence of tragic event/s

However, temples are normally built on a void line because spirits and ghosts do not need 5-elements qi to prosper.   Spirits are "pure yang" and ghosts are "pure yin" entities.  Both do not need 5-elements qi to survive.  Specifically, temples are built on metal void line for fame and still letting their monks/ nuns survive without wealth.

There are different systems of void lines that can co-exist within the same house.  So a responsible Feng Shui practitioner should be familiar with the locations of these void lines.  It is not uncommon for some practitioners who have tried to remedy client’s void line problem by relocating the house to another void line!

It is recommended to stay away from plus or minus one degree from a void line, to compensate for the inaccuracy of most luopan measurements. The followings are different systems of void line: (Note:  there are 5+ types and only 2 are covered here) 

BAGUA VOID LINES 大空亡

These are the borderlines between the 8 trigrams.  This is also called "big void lines".  This is the worst type of void line and has no cure but moving away.

Borderline between	Degree
Qian and Kan	337.5
Kan and Gen	22.5
Gen and Zhen	67.5
Zhen and Xun	112.5
Xun and Li	157.5
Li and Kun	202.5
Kun and Dui	247.5
Dui and Qian	292.5

24 MOUNTAIN VOID LINES 小空亡

These are the borderlines between 24 mountains and also known as “Indistinguishable yin-yang”. This is also called "small void lines"  that may be curable.  Consult your Feng Shui master or take the "Feng Shui Toolbox" course for remedies. 

FEELING VOID LINE ENERGY

If you are a psychic or energy-sensitive, you may be able to "feel" or "sense" void energy.   House sits on "big void line" is easily detected by a psychic (and luopan too).  The feeling is similar to the inside of a haunted house-- you feel like suffocating inside and time seems to remain static.

Row houses in UK

I was walking with a psychic student at night in an UK street with row houses 10 years ago.  Most of the houses have similar facing direction.  We had played a "feeling qi" (energy) game while walking without looking at the houses.  We would stop at the house that has different "qi" than other houses in the same street.  Eventually we had stopped in front of a house and used a luopan to measure the facing direction.  This house was is in one of the "24 mountains void lines" or small void line!  Then we looked at the house-- it had a "for sale" sign.  The house was empty.

Maybe some day I can leak the secrets of feeling "qi" without being a psychic to you.

Effects of house facing void line

My last time writing on void lines was in 2002.  Time to do some green business.

When the facing degree of a house is at the borderline of two "mountains" (24 sectors defined in Feng Shui), it is called sitting on a void line.  House sitting on a void line does not collect "qi" that is essential for the prosperity and well-being of the residents.  For definitions and varieties of void lines, please read these old blog articles:

http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2007/08/kun-mang-or-void-lines.html
http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2007/08/blog-post_1391.html
http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2007/08/blog-post_1904.html

Some major effects of void lines are:

• familial disharmony and divorces
• fluctuating luck- big ups and down; bad wealth luck
• legal problems and imprisonment
• accidents and surgeries
• nightmares, especially those involving ghosts and spirits
• "seeing" spirits or ghosts even during daytime
• unexpected and rare disasters like airline crash
• stagnated career or business
• disloyal or rebellious subordinates

Small void lines or the ones between 24 mountains are possible to fix by relocating doors and qi-paths.  Big void lines or the borderlines between two trigrams are not fixable.  The best cure is moving.

KUN MANG OR VOID LINES

The following was written on Nov 2, 2002

Void line is an advanced topic rarely discussed in detail even in Chinese Feng Shui books. Yet it has important effects on the Feng Shui of a house. So I'll post this on the lists that I know of.

DEFINITION OF VOID LINE

It is damn simple and no need to mystery it-- the borderline between two guas (trigrams) or mountains is the void line.

TYPES OF VOID LINES

A. Big Void Lines: 8 lines total, the borders between the 8 trigrams (qian, kan, gen, zhen, xun, li, kun, dui) are the "big void lines".

B. Small Void Lines: 24 lines total, the borders between the 24 mountains (ren, zi, gui, chou, gen, and so on).

C. Turtle Shell or Gui Jia Void lines: 8 lines total, details not disclosed here

WHY VOID LINE IS BAD

The border line of any 2 gua or 2 mountains is like a no-man's land-- its neither yang nor yin. In one short sentence to describe why void line sucks-- it has NO qi coming.

The cornerstone of Feng Shui is the qi theory. All living things need qi (wuxing) to survive and run their life cycles. Qi brings both good and bad fortune to people. When one lives on a void line and receives no or little qi, his/ her fortune will be negative.

Who can live on void lines? Spirits, ghosts and gods are not restricted by wuxing and yang-yin (do not need qi), so churches and temples can be built on void lines. Some famous Chinese temples are built on certain type of void line (metal void line).

RANKING THE VOID LINES

One should avoid the big void lines at any cost-- only temples and churches can handle it. Small void lines are more manageable. But avoid it nonetheless. It is not uncommon for new houses or houses that have been vacant for 2+ years to be on small void lines. When people move in and remodeling done, the angle will shift.

However, if your neighborhood has changes like the adding of new water towers, cellular tower, big signs, new roads, new big building changing the flow of qi... and the likes, the sitting of your house may shift to small void line. One should check the sitting and facing of his/her house at least once every 3 years.

Void

The concept of "void" is important both in FS and 4P.

For FS, void line primarily means the borderline between two mountains (90% of the case, there arevoids exist NOT in borderline, see my "Practical Door FS manual") and no "qi" comes into the house.

For 4P or Bazi, concept of void is derived from matching 10 stems to 12 branches-- 2 branches will have "no matching stem" and thus they are in "void".

When a 4P chart has void branches, depending on the location of the branch (year, month, day or hour pillar), it implies the lack of relationship between the day-master (DM) and the relative (family member) represented by the void branch. For example, if mother palace is in void, it means DM has little or no relationship with mother, separated from mother, mother died early and etc..

I'd a 4P client who was raised by her grandmother. She was depressed because she cannot figure out why her mother had left her and had been seeing a psychologist.

After I've pointed out there is a void branch in her mother palace and is predestined to have little or no relationship with her mother, she no longer needs to see the psychologist.

There are many applications and interpretations about void branches. Most are listed in my "4P Bootcamp" manaul.

Here is another way of playing with void branch.

First, find out the na-yin element of each pillar. For example Ding-hai's na-yin is earth (you can find a na-yin table from the free 4P file that I had given to this list long time ago).

For example, let's have an imaginary 4P:

Year: Ding-hai : na-yin = earth
Month: Jia-chen : na-yin = fire
Day: Yi-wei : na-yin = metal
Hour: gui-you : na-yin = metal

Day void branch = chen, si
Year void branch = wu, wei

From the above, we know month and day pillar are in void.

In this system, NOT all na-yin voids are negative.

When a metal vessel is empty (void), it makes noises. So this means fame (temples like to be built on metal void line, for fame).

When water is in void, it means clearness. So it means intelligence and righteousness.

When earth is in void, it collapse, so it is not good.

When fire is in void, wind blows in and become flaming and gives out light. This is consider as auspicious.

When wood is in void, it breaks.

Conventional interpretation for this example will be: lack of karma or relationship with mother (or sibling)- lack of karma or relationship with spouse (or no spouse).

With the na-yin interpretation: lack of karma or relationship with spouse though either one may be famous.

These deductions are not possible with strict 5-element or 10-transformation star ("10 gods") analyses.

There are other ways to look at void branches, like switching day and year void branch and switching day and hour void branches.

The concept of void is even more important in Buddhism. But that is a very long story!
