Secrets of changing "house period" or "Heaven's Heart"

Below is an excerpt from the chapter on "Secrets of changing 'house period' or 'Heaven's Heart'" of the upcoming new course "Period 8-9-1 Feng Shui Period Upgrade and Property Purchasing Bible".
**************************

IMPORTANCE OF "PERIOD"

The time dimension of some Feng Shui schools, especially those under the San Yuan banners, follows the 180 years cycle (divided into 3 Yuans/ 9 Periods). San Yuans mean three 60 years cycles with Upper, Middle and Lower Yuan. Each Yuan is sub-divided into 3 periods of 20 years each. Currently (2020, when this chapter is written) we are under the Period 8 of Lower Yuan which will end in 4 years. This period changing issue becomes critical if someone plan to buy a property before 2024. Any new property buyer may NOT want his or her property becomes "not Feng Shui timely or auspicious" after 2024 when Period 9 arrives.

Most schools would pay varies degree of attention to the concept of "period"-- the period when the house was constructed or when the residents moved into the house. Flying Star Feng Shui pays most attention to the period idea because it will determine the quality of the house chart.

"Period" is important because it determines which star is "timely" or auspicious. For example, in Period 8, the 8-white earth star is "timely" and 9-purple star is "future timely" or second auspicious. Flying Star Feng Shui prefers having the "timely" water star in the facing and "timely" mountain star in the sitting (followed by the "future timely").

Assuming now is P8 and your P8 house is designed to take advantage of the 8-white earth star, but by 2024, 8-star will no longer be timely or auspicious. Flying Star has some methods to "change the period" of a house to rejuvenate the qi or energy of the house (to be discussed in the video).

Bazhai or 8-Mansions Feng Shui does not really care about the period of a house and neither adhere to the concept of changing the period of a house. The primary concern is the main door and bedroom are put in one of the four auspicious sectors of the house. Some versions of Bazhai Feng Shui may incorporate the Purple White annual chart to explain the activation of events.

Basic Bagua Feng Shui cares about the concept of period but has no provision of changing the period of a house. It does, however, suggesting moving the door to the auspicious direction of the current period, i.e., for Period 8, put door in the northeast and Period 9, put door in the south.

Purple White Feng Shui also cares about the period concept but has no mention of changing the period of a house. Similarly to Flying Star, it suggests putting the door in the timely or auspicious star location.

HOW TO CHANGE THE PERIOD OF A HOUSE

There are many methods to change the "period" or "heaven's heart" of a house. Below are some traditional methods:

1. Make a hole in the roof above the center of the house and let sunshine shine through for certain number of days (from 7, 49 or 100 days, depending on Feng Shui school).

2. Move away and let the house empty for certain number of days (from 49- 100 days).

(more methods listed in the manual)

The methods listed above may be too expensive or not possible to do (like if you live in a multi-storeys building shared with other tenants). Check the course video to see some inexpensive methods of changing the period of a house.

Wealth Storage vs. Wealth Tomb

Below is an excerpt from the chapter on "Wealth Tombs/ Storages" in the course manual of "Visual Bazi: Wealth Secrets & Maximization".

*****************

Earth branches Chen, Xu, Chou and Wei are called “4-storages” or “tombs”. The absence or presence of “storage” is one way of evaluating if a person or DM is capable of learning metaphysics or “holding on” the wealth DM made.

DM's elemental nature determines which one of the storage elements is his/ her wealth storage. What one controls is wealth, so a metal DM controls wood, wood is his/ her wealth element. The "generic" wood tomb-storage is wei.

For our purposes here, we use the common tomb-storage definition listed in table below.

If a chart has zero storage, we could make a general inference of DM is likely has problem holding on to his/ her money. If a chart has more than 2 storages, DM likes to hoard things and does not throw anything away. If a chart has all the 4 storages, DM may be very wealthy.

Hence, the presence or absence of tomb-storage elements, especially wealth storage, is a major criterion to check if someone has potential to be wealthy because wealth tomb-storage reflects the ability to retain or keep wealth.

DISTINGUISHING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOMB AND STORAGE

Chen, xu, chou and wei are collectively labeled as "4 tomb-storages". But when a tomb-storage is "tomb" and when is it a "storage"?

Let's use metal DM as an example to illustrate the tomb and storage concepts. Metal's tomb-storage is chou-earth. When metal-qi is strong in the chart, chou becomes metal's "storage". Chou "storage" makes metal even stronger, awaiting the right time to prosper. When metal-qi is weak in the chart, chou becomes the "tomb" of metal. Chou "tomb" makes metal even weaker-- equivalent to metal's "death".

(detailed explanations.....) Storage element strengthens DM.

(detailed explanations.....) Tomb element weakens DM.

WEALTH STORAGE AND WEALTH TOMB

CLASHING WEALTH STORAGE

As stated in previous section, a tomb-storage element is a "storage" when the element is strong or has support in the chart. A wealth storage means a chart has relative strong wealth energy in a chart.

There is a Bazi saying, "Chart with wealth storage must be clashed to get wealthy" (财有库，不冲不发). The following profiles like clashing wealth storage:

Standard profile with strong DM
Standard profile with strong DM and strong wealth star
Special profile with wealth star as FE

When 10-years-luck and/ or annual luck clash wealth storage of these charts, DMs are likely to make major wealth. For example, wealth storage of a wood DM is xu, when 10YL or AL brings in chen is called "wealth storage running into clash 财库逢冲".

Generally speaking, strong DM with strong wealth stars and wealth storage, s/he is likely to have saving in bank ("storage"). If there is no wealth storage in natal chart but when luck period brings in a wealth storage, DM still can save up some money in the bank ("storage") during that luck period.

House center Feng Shui is very important!

Typical Feng Shui audit or courses focus on door, bedroom, kitchen, interior design/ placement and external environment. They seldom examine or place sufficient attention on the house center or center palace of the house.

Where is the center of a house? Is it a virtual "point" or a "palace"? The center point can be calculated using geometry over house plan.

House center is important because it is like the "heart" or "energy reactor" of the house. Improper placement or design will affect the health and fortune of occupants.

Below are center palace Feng Shui precautions:

Center should be kept clean: do not put garbage can, pet house/ litter or clutters there. If there is filthy smell in the center, it can easily spread around the house.
Center should be quiet with no movement-- do not put electric appliance there to create electric or sound wave. This may disrupt the qi flow of the house.
Center should be bright and not dark-- this affect family luck. Add lighting if center is not bright enough.
No stairway in center-- this is considered a Feng Shui sha. It is like someone walking on the heart of this house. It causes accidents, gossips, illness and obstacles to the residents.
No fishtank or moving water in center-- center palace is like the "heart" of a house. Heart is "fire" in Bazi and TCM. Water extinguishes fire. House with water feature in center palace is likely to create heart problems for the residents.
No large plants in center palace-- center palace is earth in nature in pre-heaven bagua. Plant is wood which controls earth.
No kitchen in center-- center is the "heart" of the house. Kitchen and heart are both fire in nature. But frequent cooking will make fire too strong and create heart and blood problems for the residents.
No bathroom or toilet in center-- This is the worst for house center. House center is the "heart" and also energy circulation center and dislikes pollution from a toilet. I have seen a few cases of resident (mostly breadwinner of the house) with toilet in house center died of terminal illness. There are limited cures-- ask your teacher or take:

Can you be a medical professional to save lives?

In Bazi, there is a star called "Celestial Doctor 天医星". If one's birth chart contains this star, one could run into following scenarios:

This person may become a medical doctor to cure and save people's lives.
This person may involve in business or career that has connections or related to medicine.
Close relatives of this person may be in the medical or related professions.
This person could be an astrologer, Bazi reader, Feng Shui practitioner to help people.
If none of the above, this person is likely to have chronic illnesses with numerous contacts with doctors OR s/he likes to seek guidance from religious or metaphysics people.

A person with strong Celestial Doctor star which is also his favorable element ("yong-shen", he has the potential to become a successful doctor, astrologer, Feng Shui master and the likes.

A medical doctor without Celestial Doctor star in his chart is likely an average doctor.

When 10-years-luck or annual luck brings in a Celestial Doctor star into one's chart, s/he may have the opportunity to save or help people. Sometimes, s/he may not become a doctor or astrologer during this period to help/ save people. But s/he may save some stray animals and becomes the savior of these animals.

How do you determine if you have Celestial Doctor star in your chart? Your Celestial Doctor star is the previous branch of your birth month.

For example, if your birth month is Mao (rabbit) and there is a Yin tiger in your chart, you have a Celestial Doctor star.

DATE-SELECTION AND CELESTIAL DOCTOR STAR
In terms of date-selection, if one uses the day with animal sign that represents one's Celestial Doctor star for health related activities like surgery or healing, the results will be better. For example, if your birth month is Chen (dragon) and you choose a Mao (rabbit) day to see a doctor, you may get better healing effect.

Hidden meanings of void branches in Bazi

"Void branch" is based on the theory of when matching 12 earthly branches to 10 heavenly stems, there will be no match for the last 2 branches. These two branches are called "void branches". They carry rich information about the individual or "daymaster" if void branch is found in his natal chart.

"Void" means disappearing, unreal, not solid, losses, not there, leaving, cut by half and also "exists in spirit or title only" (not physically exist). When a star representing a relative is in a void branch, it means this relative is either weak, chronically ill or passed prematurely.

Traditional Bazi calculates void branches in terms of year and day pillar. Modern people are likely look at void branches in terms of day pillar only.

Read the following post if you have problem with the Bazi terms used below:
http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2011/05/4p-bazi-terminology-conventions.html

Void branch meaning can be extracted from two levels:

I. MEANING FROM PILLAR LOCATIONS

Void branch in year pillar (年上空亡): no blessing/ inheritance from older generations; also means tough or difficult teen or little or no care/ love during childhood
Void branch in month pillar (月上空亡): no support from sibling/s or siblings are weak or chronically sick; low luck during young adulthood
Void branch in day pillar (日支空亡): spouse is a weakling or no help from spouse; unstable marital relationship; also stands for low luck during middle age
Void branch in hour pillar (时柱空亡): gets no help from children or children are weakling or die prematurely; low luck during old age.

II. MEANING FROM 10 GODS/ TRANSFORMATION STARS

Resource star in void (印星逢空): low academic achievement, especially in this void is in year or month pillar.
Power star in void (官星逢空): problem in career or getting government post; problem getting/ keeping husband for female
Wealth star in void (财星逢空): little or no relationship with father or father dies prematurely; hard to find or keep wife for male
Output star in void (伤食空亡): little or no luck with fame/ blessing; unstable marriage; few children
Children star or palace in void (子女星或子女宫逢空): hard to conceive or children die prematurely or chronically sick.
Sibling star or palace in void (比劫星或比劫宫临空): no sibling or sibling die prematurely or chronically sick.

Embracing (your God's name) when running into emergency

Chinese has a saying: "Embracing Buddha's leg when running into emergency" for people who do not really care about their religious belief when they have no urgent problem in life. It is the opposite of "fair weather friend" to God or deity.

My old classmate John in Hong Kong runs into a few obstacles since the Year of Rat (2020) comes. Lately he has abdominal pain when waking up in the morning. He went to a hospital, did some tests and was waiting for the results.

A Hongkonger runs into this situation usually may also consult a fortune-teller or go to a temple to do a divination to find out what is the problem. But John is an atheist and does not care much.

However, his wife Mary believes in Buddhism and Daoism. She thinks John's horse animal sign clashing current year's Grand Duke (rat sign), is the cause of his problems. She told him to go to a temple to pray and make offering to Grand Duke.

Mary took John to a temple and found it is closed to the public due to the coronavirus. It seems his "embracing Grand Duke's leg when running into emergency" attempt does not pan out.

John told me his Grand Duke problem while chatting online with me. He does not know I do Grand Duke Talisman charity drive every year. So I have sent him the GD talisman file.

The next day John told me the following:

If you run into many obstacles and problems in 2020, it is not too late for you to "embrace Grand Duke's leg" for relief. Check the article below for details.
