Feng Shui for the New Year

When Chinese New Year comes around, it is important to check out the Lo Shu Square and see what changes you need to make in your house to enhance auspicious sectors and offset afflicted ones.

The main afflictions are:

  • Grand Duke Jupiter (obstacles)
    • clean sector thoroughly this sector of the house should be basically left alone
    • should not face this direction or have bed in this direction
    • no wind chimes or bird feeders, anything that attracts motion
    • place Pi Yao in appropriate sector, facing appropriate direction to confront/protect from that energy
  • Yearly Clash (opposite Grand Duke Jupiter)
    • this sector of the house should be basically left alone
    • should not face this direction or have bed in this direction
    • no wind chimes or bird feeders, anything that attracts motion
  • #2 - illness : combat with 6 coins on red cord
  • #3 - arguments : combat by adding some fire elements, but not too much
  • Yellow #5 - misfortune, illness : combat with salt water cure
  • #7 - theft, burglary, betrayal : combat with 3-stalk bamboo plant in glass vase

The main auspicious stars are:

#1 - Victory star, good luck : enhance with metal coins #4 - romance : enhance with pair of ducks #6 - synchronicity, Heaven luck : enhance with metal wind chime, representation of spirit helpers - Buddha, angels, etc #8 - prosperity, money : enhance with crystals, money vase #9 - multiplying, future luck, future opportunities, future money

Animals

compare the year's animal with your animal(s) based on your birth year/month/day/time

Friends/Allies:

  • Rat, Dragon, Monkey
  • Ox, Snake, Rooster/Phoenix
  • Tiger, Horse, Dog
  • Rabbit, Sheep/Goat, Boar/Pig
 Conflicting Pairs

  • Rat - Horse
  • Ox - Sheep/Goat
  • Tiger - Monkey
  • Rabbit - Rooster/Phoenix
  • Dragon - Dog
  • Snake - Boar/Pig

General Approach:

  1. what stars are in what sectors
  2. compare sector 'home' elements to 'visiting' elements and see if the relationship is good, bad or indifferent
  3. craft cures to compensate for negative elements/spaces and enhance positive ones
  4. evaluate house sectors based on Bagua map overlaid with Lo Shu, taking into account house direction, inhabitant directions and animal(s)
  5. clean/bless crystals, Pi Yao, protectors, other elements of cures and replace Bagua Mirror if necessary
  6. space clearing
  7. implement cures
  8. red envelope outside front door with offering
  9. give thanks and welcome new year
