FENG SHUI – BAD LUCK AT WORK THAT AFFECTS YOUR CAREER

Where do you look for solution when some aspects of your business are running out of steam?

It may not be your house Feng Shui that is bad but what is happening in your office. 

If you have a business and it is operating out of a business premise, you need to make a Feng Shui audit of the premise to check for any undesirable element that is causing the problems. Aside from the practical side of doing business, there may be other extraordinary factors that a rational mind is unable to fathom. This is when you need to look at the metaphysics side of your operation.

Based on Feng Shui principle, a premise is divided into eight palaces which are demarcated by compass directions. Each of these palaces represents an aspect of human life and aspirations such as creativity, public relation, intelligence, decision making, etc. Ideally, a premise should have ample space that allows qi or natural life energy to permeate all eight palaces. When qi can flow unhindered within the four corners of a palace, it is said to be flowing evenly. The occupants can benefit from its positive energy that will result in increased productivity and hence, a thriving business. 

However, when qi is not able to find its way around a premise because of clutter, tightness of space, dark corners or missing corners, it can result in a lethargic and unmotivated work force that is void of vigor and creativity. Staff tends to make more mistakes and relationship conflict is a frequent occurrence. Eventually, the business suffers for want of efficiency and service. In this scenario, a major renovation of the business premises in accordance to Feng Shui principles may be in order to rejuvenate business operations. Alternatively, a relook into the office spatial distribution based on Feng Shui principles may just be what is needed for business to pick up. 

A premise may have negative features in certain palaces that obstruct the flow of qi and what Feng Shui can do is to remove the root of the problem. Simple isn’t? However, before you do that, you need to know what constitute a negative feature in Feng Shui. 

The following are some examples of negative features inside or outside a palace:-

-          Overhead beams that protrude menacingly

-          Dark and damp areas that is void of sunlight

-          Cramp and cluttered space that restrict free movement

-          Trees or lamppost or T-junction in vicinity of the palace

-          A missing palace (a third of the sector is cut off due to poor office design)

If any of these features are found in or near a palace, certain aspects of the business operations are likely to experience setbacks that relates to the human aspects associated with the palace.

For example, if the north is affected by a negative feature, the activities that are likely to be negated are research, strategic planning, analytical work, etc. If the east is negatively affected, the people working in the area will find it hard to adapt and be creative. Relationship between co-workers is beset with arguments and misunderstandings. 

When you look closely at the problems that plaque your business, you may just find that one of the palaces in your premise is having a negative feature of the metaphysical kind. You can either consult with a Feng Shui master or DIY.

CHINESE ASTROLOGY – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

What is Chinese Astrology? 

Chinese Astrology is not an exact science nor is it an abstract art. It is an esoteric science that combines with the art of metaphysics. It is a field that mystifies the intellect who strive to make sense of things based on logic and reason. The ancient masters of this craft studied the configuration of the stars and wrote intriguing classical texts on the subject. The classical books that held the secrets to the destiny of man were protected by the sages under the domain of the Emperors. Back then, whoever held the key to such knowledge and wisdom ruled the world. Such a control over this form of science and art became the Holy Grail in the quest for power.

The century age old practice of Chinese Astrology has its roots in China 2,500 BC. In fact, the most popular form of Chinese Astrology readings is based on the Four Pillars of Destiny which originated and was popularized during the Tang Dynasty in China.

The Four Pillars of Destiny also known as BaZi (Four Characters) is extremely complex and difficult for the lay person to grasp deeply. To the uninitiated, Chinese Astrology simply focuses on the characteristics of the animals in the Chinese Zodiac based on one's birth year. The twelve animals in the Chinese Zodiac comprises in running order, the rat, the ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. But a Chinese Astrology reading or BaZi analysis conducted by an expert would go much deeper than explaining the general characteristics of the animal signs. Each BaZi reading or analysis will delve into not only one's birth year but also the month, day, and hour.

The core of a person’s traits and characteristic as deciphered from a person’s BaZi birth chart interprets the day stem instead of the year branch in predicting a person's career, wealth, health and relationship. It forms the foundation of the Four Pillars approach which incorporates also the stems and branches of the year, month, day and hour of birth.

This is why a comprehensive BaZi reading or analysis that applies to the Four Pillars of Destiny method needs to takes into account the hour, day, month, and year of birth of a person. It is much more detailed and accurate than a generic reading based solely on birth year. It is not a field of study that anyone can take. This esoteric art pose to be quite complex for the general populace to comprehend. As such, embracing the intricacies of the Four Pillars of Destiny method and mastering the art of BaZi will take years or even a life time. Therefore, a person who wants to learn and master Chinese Astrology needs a lot of patience and passion for unconventional knowledge or metaphysical art and sciences. It will teach you to look beyond the basic animal signs associated with the year of birth but the whole BaZi birth chart when understanding one's true character and destiny.

FENG SHUI –SELECTION OF A PROPERTY BASED ON COLOURS OF THE SOIL

Besides the types of mountain and hills, what can you look for when selecting a property in a locality with prosperity and posterity in mind? 

You should make close observation on the quality of soil that make up the land in the vicinity of the neighborhood. 

In Feng Shui, the natural environment we lived in provides us with life giving energy known as qi. It is the life force that sustains all living things on earth. From the highest peak of the mountain, qi flows along the natural contours of the land and makes it way down the valleys where water is located. It is carried by the wind and gathers at the boundary of water.

When you are looking for a suitable property to make your home, you should observe whether there is any mountain or hill around the area. If there is and it is lush with vegetation, you can tap into the qi that is strong and vitalizing. 

But if you would like to know what types of qi is available in the area, you can start by looking at what is below the ground. Qi flows on top and below the ground. Earth is a natural conductor of qi and naturally you can determine the types of qi it carries from observing the soil. The secret is in the color of the soil. To do this, you need to dig about 2 feet into the ground. First, pay attention to the texture of the soil. If it is soft and loamy (with a mixture of clay, sand and some decayed vegetable matter), it indicates positive qi and therefore good quality. Whereas if the soil tends to be rocky and pebbly (with mostly stones), it is not conducive for positive qi to take root. 

Secondly, by examining the soil’s natural color, we can determine the types of qi it contains. Based on Feng Shui concept, there are five elemental phases of qi namely, wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each element takes on a color. 

The following is a general guide as to what each color means in relation to the soil:-

• Green colored soil denotes wood qi and is associated with nobility, benevolence and growth
• Red or purple colored soil denotes fire qi and is associated with passion and spirituality
• Yellowish colored soil denotes earth qi and is associated with wealth and stability
• Pale white colored soil denotes metal qi and is associated with power and authority
• Black colored soil denotes water qi and is associated with intelligence and travelling.
