壬辰 RenChen 2012 Year - Eight Mystical Gates

Out of the 8 Gates, Gate of Open, Rest (nobility), Growth and Scenery are the favorable doors. Gates here imply non-physical portals. It is greatly misunderstood that 8 mystical gates are actually doorways where one has to pass through in order to achieve something but this is not true.

The 8 gates are only indicator of what sort of human actions appropriately undertaken given the situation. In the RenChen year, the annual 8 is perceived to be death. Does it means to say the 8 star is unusable? 

People with main door located at east and northeast will enjoy most with the auspicious star conjunctions. Otherwise, bed locations at these sectors will also do. 

Saying thus there are other layers of information such as life palaces, house god, officer seals and so on to be considered concurrently to benefit most from the annual audits.

壬辰 RenChen 2012 Year - Flying Star Earth Plates

PurpleWhite 9 grids have many dimensions to juggle and one personal favourite is the DiPan or the earth plate. The ThongShing states that LiChun beginning of spring, the three nobles, Yi Bing and Ding is located namely in Zhen, Xun and central palace. This is the monthly DiPan and when it is read together with the ThongLin or the Period Master, it foretells the conditions of all the respective 9 palaces such as: -

Northwest & Southeast: Green Dragon Gets Together – When meet with benevolent combination, the aupiciousness will be doubled up. Vice-versa if it enconters malignant star conjunctions.

West & Soutwest: XuanWu Earthly Punishment – Denoting contemination at a slow but sure degree. That is a reason even if the US economy were to be recover, it is going to be slow and with lots of setback.

Notheast & North: Minor Wandering Structure – One may lost its way in a journey. Diversion is real. In the triumph economy of the Northeast, many initial objectives may be diverted. Lots of wastage in between especially time. 

These are just surface readings and different schools have different strokes of reading.

Next, we shall look into the 8 GATES.

壬辰 RenChen 2012 Year - Curing Malignant Stars 2012

One keen observer SMS me this morning asking: -

“…#9-1, #3-2, #8-7 looks like combination of 10, 5 and 15 respectively. Can it be read like this?”

The answer is YES. Isn’t it strange that XuanKong Classics spell otherwise? It is very common practice to plot the annual chart and read it thereof according to the interpretation from the classics that spelt out the 81 combinations.

So, if let say the general consensus is to assume, 7,2,3 and 5 stars are the malignant component, the next logical question is how to “cure” it?

First, attempt to see if there is any possibility of combining these malignant stars. #9-1, #3-2 and #8-7 are already a form of combination. If the structure is supported, the malignant star has already been combined away. No need to do anything.

Second, structural combination of a continuous space. #2-7, #4-9, #1-6, #3-8 are HeTu combination achievable by amalgamating 2 palaces as 1 structure. This called for repartitioning of internal layout. However logic it may be, but one cannot be renovating one house come every 12 months? Thus, it is impractical.

Third, not to provoke the malignant star such as 7,2,3 and 5 by means of earth breaking, dragging of heavy furniture or drilling and the sort. 

If everything fails, then only attempt to put placebo FengShui into action liked, wind chime, calabash, crystal and the sort. Something is better than nothing as the saying goes.

However, the wisest way is to rope in a competent practitioner who is able to put the useful god into action by just taking care of ONE core item. The rest of the malignant stars will be beneficial. Always remember Flying Star methodology or Purple White has gained popularity in space constrained area such as HongKong, Taiwan and Singapore for a reason none other than fast and result orientated. The real practitioner does not chase after stars. They chase after the Gods.

壬辰 RenChen 2012 Year - Flying Star 2012

Based on the “Flying Star” chart which traditionally called the Purple White chart, annual 6 white enters the central palace. Portends power struggle #7-6, risk of water related epidemic such as bird flu #1-2 hitting the north, year of indecisive, scandals form top leadership #3-2, weakened economy and the “leader” is caught within, so on so forth… 

The “infamous” argument star #3 enters southwest, #3-2 portends among others “bullfight Sha” which brings about a connection of numerous disagreement, scandals and gossips. Kind of worried for countries, in the southwest, which are run by Ladies. The “illness” #2 is at the north. #1-2 denotes water contamination which among other portends water related illness liked bird flu. The northern hemisphere is more likely to be at risk.

The “timely” #8 wealth star is shining brightly in the west denoting a possibility of the West recovering from their economic crisis. However, its recovery takes time to heal and there is much groundwork to do before their economy is back on track. It only makes sense for Obama to investigate the US fundamental. Contrary, the “celebrative” #9 is in northeast. With the ongoing presidential election for Taiwan, booming economy for China, recovery post tsunami for Japan, these regions are in good hands. Similarly, the “flirtatious” #4 is at the east. #4-3 is actually the primary wealth location if you know how to use it with the “one”. #1 is in the south. Very contradictory. There seems to be a fire and water clash but in nature, fire and water does not clash each other. The south will bring wealth and career advancement. No wonder, it is said that the God of Wealth comes from this direction!

壬辰 RenChen 2012 Year - Monthly ShenSha

In the olden days, preparation for Chinese New Year also includes a peep into the New Year day per se. In this section of the ThongShing, it always starts with the month section. It states, Gregorian calendar January to February follows by the religious festivities of the Daoist Deities. Next, the lunar 1st month major signifying among others 31 days. 

A purple white monthly star is also included in the form of purple white with the accompanying QiMen SanQi locations. This section is usable for metaphysics purposes. It also states that LiChun beginning of spring, the three nobles, Yi Bing and Ding is located namely in Zhen, Xun and central palace. This will in turn enable one to locate the Door of Nobility and so forth.

An entire list of benevolent and malignant monthly ShenSha stars is attached. There is a small section indicating the arrival of the sun as it states, the Sun at the current month, 28th day Wei hour enters the palace of Hai. Together it is used for date selections.

壬辰 RenChen 2012 Year - Heavenly Palace Bestowing Lucks

神煞 ShenSha, Gods and Killing as its name suggests, comprises of two forms of real and imaginary stars with either benevolent or malignant natures. In this very page of the Almanac, the theme called Heavenly Palace Bestowing Lucks are a matrix of ShenSha stars arriving annually to the specific life palaces according to the 12 earthly branches. The mapping of these real or otherwise imaginary stars unto the earth Qi is a representation of a correct timing to undertake a correct human action. The task is often the question of what stars to what action, as can be as trivial as planning a vacation to something complex like marriages. As for FengShui date selection purposes, it spells nothing if the XKDG combination of 10 or SanHe NaYin does not empowered by the arrival of these ShenSha star as above but not as below. Some perfectionist may even walk the extra mile to match a selected time to a real time star chart, just to make sure that the real star is above. In the case of annual forecast, it is alright just to digest whatever being dished out on this very page of the ThongShing. Anyway, it is the basis of many writers chalked out their annual prediction called "the animal book".

ShenSha stars like anything of antiquity comes in many names and may sometime referring to the same star. There are the main so called mainstream stars such as Heavenly Noble and so forth. Other auxiliary stars can be easily ignore or sometimes unheard of. Anyway, the rule of thumb is one benevolent star may offset against 4 malignant stars. So, start to count your stars. What happen if there is no benevolent star at your life palace? Holy Shit!

No worry, lives go on. As people born in Dog year, this coming RenChen year brings no benevolent star but a whole load of malignant stars such as Leopard's Tail, Year Breaker, Major Fork and so forth. What one is going to do? There is the luck pillar and the entire 4 pillars to arbitrate liked clash away, transformed and so forth. It is not the end of the road.

The lucky one with nobleman stars liked, moon, sun, monthly virtue, TaiYi, Dragon Virtue, Heavenly Noble, Duke Arrival and so forth has the extra push. Whereas Three Altars, Heaven Explain, Officer Seals, Jade Hall, Heavenly Delight, Elegant Seal, intelligence, Eight Seats, Auspicious Stars, Heaven Kitchen, Earthly Wisdom are all signifying promotions to power, wealth and nobility with the extra ingredient of being recognized in words and deeds. Sky horse denoting movements liked change of house, job or plenty of travels. Whereas all the fearful named ShenSha like lonesome, monastery, death god, funeral attire and the sorts are by nature means obstacle, lost of opportunity and petty people. Peach blossom, red chamber and salty pool are all related to love, lust and some extent nobleman help but these are neutral.

We will not list the entire 12 zodiac here. If you need to know, email us HERE.
