The feng shui lo shu, it’s a three by three box, three by three grid with numbers one to nine all over the boxes here. Each of these boxes has a direction that is link linked to them.
The feng shui lo shu is the foundational piece of calculation that we use over and over again, not just in feng shui application, but also in chinese date selection.
You are also going to see the five element cycle. You have fire, earth, metal, water and wood. And basically the numbers that I have in this three by three lo shu grid, I’ve transferred it up here.
The clockwise pattern, which is in the dark grey, is the productive cycle. And you’re also going to see the counterclockwise here, the dark yellow lines here, which is the weakening cycle.
And you’re going to see that I have the correlating numbers here, right, for all the elements here, three, four is wood, one is water, and so on and so forth.
For anyone who is interested in feng shui, you need to commit this five element cycle, the productive and weakening cycle, to memory, because this will determine ultimately what elements you need for your home.
Now, you’re going to see, this is a flying star chart. After knowing the period of the house and knowing the direction of the house, now we are able to plot the flying star chart of the home.
Now, this, my friends, is the permanent energy of the home. Okay?
All the top left numbers here correlate to energies that can impact health and relationship. And all the numbers on the top right denotes the energy that has impact on your money. It can be your career, your business, your investments.
And in more advanced flying star practices, we actually look at the combinations, the combinations of the mountain star and the water star. Each of these combinations hold another potential of energy, whether it’s positive or negative energy.
Your home is specific to your home, if someone who moved into a house prior to February 4 of 2004, let’s say they are period seven. Let’s say they’re not period eight, they’re period seven. Than the energy, the whole. All the energies here are different. Again, there is no one size fits all feng shui. It’s all layers and layers and layers of formulas, of calculating before we even decide.
Until I know your period you’re facing and your usage of the room, then I can help you determine what elements or what colors you need in that room.
