Grand Duke Talisman Charity Drive 2024

 This post is based on my past posts about "Grand Duke Talisman charity drive" with updates for 2024.

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.  Our Grand Duketalismans are consecrated with the energy from Grand Duke and his mother Dou-mou (mother or commander of 60 Grand Dukes).  Hopefully, our talismans will motivate Grand Duke to be easy and generous on you when his mother is around him.

Why do we ask for a charitable donation for this talisman?  When your talisman is grounded with a charitable deed, GD is less likely to execute any misfortunes due from your karma account. The rationale for donation is an exchange of energy-- using a charitable deed in exchange of protection energy from Grand Duke.  One cannot get something out of nothing.

2024 is Jia-chen or year of wooden-dragon.  Grand Duke for the year is General Li-cheng who was a county official during  Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).  Li was venerated for his honest and upright administration.

GRAND DUKE TALISMAN FOR FENG SHUI REMEDY

House violating Grand Duke
In 2024 Jia-chen year, if your house faces chen-dragon mountain or SE1  (112.5- 127.5 degree) 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 movement, construction, earth-digging and demolition there or put up a Grand Duke talisman facing SE1 direction.  The opposite side of Grand Duke is Year-breaker (Sui-po, NW1 or Xu-dog mountain).  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. 

Desk violating Grand Duke 

If your desk or wherever you sit for an extended time faces Chen-dragon mountain or SE1 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 SE1 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 (not recommended for people with dog animal sign). 

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, blessed and "activated" on screen digitally. This activated GD file will be emailed to you with notes.  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.

Below are some charities that you can send your donation to.  But you can always support your local charities like food-shelf or soup kitchens, especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

• 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) 
• Your local COVID-19 pandemic charity.

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 no future solicitation or email will be sent to you in the future. You send me NO money. You send your donation directly to your favorite local or international charity.  No purchase involved.  This offer is for people who have no access to Daoist temples.  Please support your local temple if you have access to one.

SUGGESTED DONATION  (same old 2010 pricing!)

Talisman that is grounded with a charitable event works more effectively because it has an exchange of one type of energy for protection energy.

Five groups of people who need Grand Duke Talismans:

1. "Fu-yin" or same animal sign of Grand Duke 值太岁-- people with tiger sign

• Birth years: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010

SPECIAL NOTE:   "3-penalties" is formed when a chart has tiger (yin), snake (si) and monkey (shen).  Serious misfortune such as major accident/ illness, losing wealth or even death may occur.  So even if your animal sign is not one of the above BUT your natal chart and luck period bring in Yin (tiger), Si (snake) and/ or Shen (monkey), you are also violating Grand Duke indirectly.  For example, you are not a monkey sign (shen) person but you have a shen inside your natal chart or luck period brings in a shen. 
 
GRAND DUKE TALISMAN FOR FENG SHUI REMEDY
If your house faces Yin mountain or NE3 direction, you need to put up a Grand Duke talisman facing that direction and avoid construction, earth-digging and demolition there.

If your desk or wherever you sit for an extended time facing Yin mountain or NE3 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 NE3 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.

Alec Baldwin's prop gun accident and 3-penalties

On Oct. 21, 2021 around 1- 2 pm, Alec Baldwin had accidentally killed his cinematographer and injured the director with a prop gun on the movie set of "Rust" in California.  Below are the astrological data for this analysis:

• Current year: 2021 Year of Ox (Year Ruler or Grand Duke is Ox or Chou)
• Current Month:  Xu or Dog month
• Alec Baldwin was born in 1958 (63 years old), the Year of Dog or Xu.  Dog "penalizes" Ox in Chinese astrology, so Alec "penalizes" the Grand Duke of 2021.  This usually means obstacles and misfortune.
• Director Joel Souza was born in 1973 (48 years old), the Year of Ox or Chou.  Joel has the same animal sign of Grand Duke of 2021.  This is called "violating" Grand Duke.  This usually means obstacles, illness and bad luck.
• Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was born in 1979 (42 years old), the Year of Ram or Wei.  Ram clashes Ox in Chinese astrology.  This is called "clashing Grand Duke" and usually means bad luck, sickness, injury or even death.

You may notice the people involved in this tragedy have the Chinese zodiac animal signs that form a "dog-ox-ram" or Xu-Chou-Wei 3-penalties in Chinese astrology.  

Now let's look at the day chart when the accident had happened:

The incident had happened when the day chart has all the Xu-Chou-Wei 3-penalties element present!  The victims' animal signs also form the same 3-penalties.  This case study also shows "clashing Grand Duke" is more serious than other forms of interaction with Grand Duke.  People who were born in 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015 are "clashing Grand Duke" for 2021.

Another lesson here is avoiding gathering of people with animal signs that will form a 3-penalties with the current Grand Duke, especially when the day chart also has the same 3-penalties elements.

RIP Halyna Hutchins

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?"

Please read my next post in near future.

6 Types of annual luck that can make your life miserable

In Bazi or 4-Pillars, there are six types of annual luck that you should pay close attention to.  It is because major events-- pleasant or unpleasant, are likely to occur within those years.

1.  Violating Grand Duke (日犯岁君)
Grand Duke means the current year pillar "fan-yin" (opposite of) your day-pillar. For example, current year (2015) is yi-wei. Yi-wei is the Grand Duke of the year.  If your day-pillar is ji-chou, you are "violating Grand Duke".  This is inauspicious and stands for disaster, sickness or accidents.

2.  Real Grand Duke (真太岁)

"Real Grand Duke" means the one's year pillar "fu-yin" (is identical to) current year pillar or annual luck.  This will happen once for every individual when he turns 60.  For example, current year (2015) is yi-wei, people who were born in 1955 will have their year-pillar fu-yin to current year.  If  the day-pillar and 10-year luck pillar of this person do not clash, harm or penalize Real Grand Duke,  he will be all right.  If otherwise, disasters or misfortune may strike.  

3.  Day-pillar and Annual luck pillar are identical (日年相齐)
This means day and annual luck pillars are "fu-yin".  If birth hour and annual luck pillar do not clash, penalize or "harm" each other, then the person will be all right.  For people with low quality 4P chart or vicious symbolic stars,  they will likely to suffer mishaps.  For those with high quality charts, they are likely to be promoted and running into good luck.

4.  Annual luck and 10-year-luck pillar are identical (岁运并临)

This means annual luck and 10-years-luck pillars are "fu-yin" or identical. If the stem and branch of these luck pillars are unfavorable, the person will suffer mishaps.  If favorable, double the benefits or blessing.

5.  Annual luck and 10-year-luck pillar are clashing (运岁冲克)

This means annual luck and 10-years-luck pillars are "fan-yin" or clashing. For example, yi-wei annual luck with ji-chou 10-year-luck.  This always stands for losing wealth, accidents or funeral.

6.  10-year-luck period switching to Jia (行运换甲)

This means a gui-water 10-years-luck switching to a jia-wood 10-year-luck.  For example, switching from gui-chou to jia-yin 10-year-luck.  This is especially unfavorable for older people.  Even the ordinary 10-year-luck switching points will likely be the problematic years.

2013 Grand Duke Talisman Charity Drive

This post is based on last year's "Grand Duke Talisman charity drive" with updates for 2013.

The "extra strength" 2012 GD talisman seems to have saved you from the 2012 end of the world event.

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. 

2013 GRAND DUKE GENERAL XU DAN
2013 is Gui-Si or year of water-snake. Grand Duke for the year is General Xu Dan who was a military officer in Han Dynasty (25- 220 AD). Xu was known for his bravery and generosity.  He had conquered the barbarian tribes and small kingdoms that had plagued the west side of China with an army of volunteers. Over 50 tribes and kingdoms were annexed into the Han Kingdom with Xu's help.

2013  GRAND DUKE TALISMAN 
Si or year of Snake can be very dangerous for people with Shen (monkey) and Yin (tiger) signs because these signs can form "Yin-Si-Shen 3-penalties".   People with this penalty usually jinx their close relative to major sickness/ injury or even death.  However,  some people may experience meteoric rise to fame overnight if the 3-penalties elements are favorable in their Bazi charts.  People with Hai or pig sign in their Bazi chart may suffer injuries caused by fire or water.

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 SNAKE sign 

BIRTH YEARS: 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001

SYMPTOMS: obstacles, stagnation or running "reverse" instead of forward and not suitable for travels.

2. "Fan-yin" or "clashing" the animal sign of Grand Duke 冲太岁-- people with PIG sign

BIRTH YEARS: 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007

GD TALISMAN FOR FENG SHUI REMEDY

If your house faces Si mountain or SSE direction, you need to put up a Grand Duke talisman facing that direction and avoid construction, earth-digging and demolition there.

If your desk or wherever you sit for an extended time faces Si or SSE 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.

GRAND DUKE TALISMAN OFFERS
The offer is: your charity donation of US$30 or more to any legitimate local or international charity will get you a specially blessed Grand Duke talisman. Here are some examples of donations already done:

• Save-the-Children
• children hospital
• food shelves/soup kitchen
• and more.....

Donation made to help alleviate an urgent human/ animal need or suffering (e.g., feeding the hungry, tornado 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 other than sending a note that your talisman is sent. You will send me NO money. You send your money directly to your favorite local or international charity. You do not even need to pay me postage. 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)

--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)

Talisman that is grounded with a charitable event works more effectively because it has an exchange of one type of energy for protection energy.

All talismans sent are individually purified, bless and stamped with the seal of a major deity.  The ritual itself normally has a suggested donation of US$50- 100.

To claim your talismans and application instructions, please forward your donation receipt with the talisman recipient names and address to: kenlai88@yahoo.com
