What do we do with this information?
In every building, there are good and bad palaces which affect our daily lives. How and who gets affected (good or bad) depends on who occupies which area of the home or business. The best Cure is to be aware of the influences each month and know how to capitalise on the beneficial energies or avoid the unfavourable influences either through enhancers or cures or avoidance. Knowing the effects of the influences allows us to take appropriate measures and actions to calm interactions.
So, do not get too worried when you come across a particularly bad sector – sometimes with thought, care and the appropriate elements, we can balance any conflict of energies or compensate the lack of an element to bring harmony to a palace. If a palace is particularly bad, avoidance is the best cure. Please do not panic when you find that your bedroom is located in an affected sector for the month. This is only a temporary influence and can be avoided.
- Use the beneficial areas more and the areas of negative influences less. For example, if the living room is affected by conflicting energies, try not to play loud music in this room for the month. By keeping the area quiet, you successfully manipulate the effect of the energies.
- If possible, use another door if your main door is affected this month.
- Use the good sectors to solve existing problems whether they concern relationships or money matters.
If your main door is affected and this is the only door you have on your property, you should take extra care in what you do during the affected month. You will know it may not be a good time to take risks and also to take extra care of your health.
Xuan Kong Flying Stars October 2018:
From 8th October 2018 to 6th November 2018 is the ninth month Ren Xu (Yang Water Dog) of the Wu Xu year (Yang Earth Dog) with the ruling energy of #6 in the central grid.
North
Kun 2 Black (Ju Men) is an earth star and a yin Trigram. It affects the stomach, digestive, general sickness and problems with thought process. It also affects the Matriarch (eldest female) and overall very inauspicious and needs either cures or avoidance this month in this area otherwise it can cause many problems and in October 2018, it is paired with the annual #5 star which can cause a great deal of problems if disturbed.
If your bedroom, office, lounge, main door or other important room is located in this area this month and you are unable to move out please read this section carefully. The good news is you now know this is an inauspicious star and you can do much to dissipate its negative influences for the month, so do not panic at all.
Try and keep the north of your home or office as quiet as possible and avoid building work or renovations this month as this will activate the negative influence of both the monthly and annual stars. If this part of your building is a bathroom, utility room, guest bedroom or other less important room do not panic, this is great news for you and no cures are needed this month if you already have your annual cures in place.
If your front door, bedroom, office, lounge or other well-used room is located in the north this month, this will inevitably activate its malicious effects, so read on…
This star affects the health of those under its influence bringing with it wealth problems, sickness, disease, bad luck, stress, stomach and digestive problems, bloated feeling, gossip, back stabbing, family harmony and distress.
The 2 Black in Period 8 is an untimely star and hence its influence will be of a negative nature. You must place a Wu Lou and six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon, metal singing bowl and also place more round metal decorative objects (provided they are not menacing looking, round shape metal is good) to dissipate its negative influence in this part of your home or room. If you already have your annual cures and enhancers in place, I would still recommend introducing more metal in to this area in October to weaken the effects of the two negative earth stars.
Avoid triangular or sharp shapes in this area. Ladies expecting should try and avoid using a bedroom if it is located in this area. If there is no choice implement the necessary cures. Males who spend a lot of time in the north during October should be careful of what they eat this month and a good time to think about a lifestyle change.
Place a brass Wu-Lou beside your bed. The brass Wu-Lou (also known as a calabash) gives elemental support to this area this month and also symbolises good health and dissipates the negative energy of the #2 star.
More importantly, do not decorate this room with red fire colours or triangle shapes items and most important avoid burning candles or leaving bright fiery coloured lights on for too long during the month. The most important cures to place in this area are a set of six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon.
Do not undertake any form of noisy renovations or re-decorative work in this part of your house or office. Nor should you disturb the ground by digging, building foundations or conduct any maintenance work with any noisy equipment in this area inside or outside your property or garden this month.
Once disturbed, this affliction will bring about three types of misfortunes financial loss, sickness and arguments.
Remedies
– Hang six Chinese coins tied in red ribbon.
– You can use any metal ornament as long as it is not sharp or aggressive looking, and believe it or not a good cure is a round metal dog bowl or weight lifters weights.
– A brass wealth ingot is good for protecting wealth.
– Place a gold coloured three legged Toad with an i-ching coin underneath.
– Place a Wu Lou and/or other metal ornaments to dissipate the negative earth.
– A metal singing bowl is very good as is a stainless steel Dog bowl.
– Avoid using red colour in this room and refrain from displaying triangle shape or fiery pictures.
– Avoid candles or bright lights at all costs. Check or upgrade smoke alarms and other fire prevention methods.
– Place a Ba Gua mirror in this area outside this month.
– Naturally not as powerful but round metal shapes are an alternative to using Feng Shui items but avoid sharp or menacing looking metal objects.
Northeast
Li 9 Purple (You Bi) Li 9 Purple is a fire star and a yin trigram and considered a star of future wealth and has an auspicious influence in Period 8. Career opportunities and promotions are probable especially if you have an office or main door in the northeast during October 2018.
There is fame and acknowledgement, growth and improvement. It affects the eyes, mental disturbance, blood disorders and stomach and can cause problems at work. These problems only occur when you have poison arrows directed to this area this month. It also affects wealth career and luck and because it is timely in period 8 (2004 – 2024) it is considered an auspicious flying star.
If you disturb this area this month you may cause problems for the middle daughter and it could affect heart, stomach or blood-related. If you have any poison arrows like a lamp post, pylons or large comers of the house pointing toward this area consider hanging a flat ba gua mirror outside pointing toward the offending object. Generally, though there is nothing to worry about with the #9 star as it is it is timely and an auspicious star.
This is a nice star to fall into the northeast as the influence from the monthly star will weaken the annual #3 star.
This is a good area in general especially for those in studies. Couples with a bedroom in this location can also enjoy good relationships. There may also be a chance of producing intelligent children. If you want to enhance this further place a statue of Kwan Yin in this part of your bedroom.
To enhance:
– Healthy green leafy plants or blue flowering plants such as violets are good for this area.
– Fresh flowers displayed here will bring positive qi too.
– Symbolic objects such as a wu lou or six Chinese coins can be placed here all month round to enhance the benevolent influence
This is a lovely influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.
East
Sun 4 green Wen Qu romance and literacy star is a wood star. It affects the thighs, hip, buttock, bladder, liver and can cause colds and flu although on the whole it is considered an auspicious star. The Sun wood 4 is a conditional star and has a nice influence in period 8.
For October 2018, the 4 star has flown in to the east and will work well to weaken the negative 7 annual star although this can lessen the positive influence that the monthly star brings so cures and enhancers will be needed to benefit.
It governs romance, career, travel, creative, academic and artistic talents, wisdom and intelligence as well as self-development. With the wood of the #4 star flying in for the month, we can expect a lovely energy from here as it creates a lovely peach blossom if activated correctly with the right enhancers.
This cure and enhancer when used is a manifestation enhancer and it is good to place an image that represents everything you want to achieve in life, an example to some would be a picture of a beautiful home that you desire, a male or female that you admire, a car like a Ferrari or Mini, the number of children you would like, I think you are getting the picture by now, just create a dream board with all that you desire pinned to it or draw the image or you can even download some images from www.google.com this really is a very powerful way of manifesting your dreams and it really does work, remember to place the image in this area this month.
Whilst this star is very auspicious if you have any poison arrows like lamp posts, pylons or large corners of house’s pointing toward this area consider hanging a ba gua wealth protection mirror outside pointing toward the offending object as the #4 star can bring both wanted and unwanted romantic opportunities to the household if the cures are not put in place.
Do not use fire or metal in this area or colours white, silver this month. Do not worry if you have these colours already just introduce colours blue or black in the way of a floor mat, cushions, tablecloth or such like.
If you already have your annual cures and enhancers in place, this is very good as we have introduced water cures to weaken the bad metal annual star and this will also enhance the visiting wood star. I would recommend introducing more water cures such as a blue throw or pillow In to this area for the month if you are able to.
Another traditional way to enhance fertility is to display peanuts in shells (groundnuts) or any seed products like black or red melon seeds (Gua zi). In Mandarin, peanuts are called ‘hua-sheng’ and for the Chinese, this word is onomatopoeic in that the sound of it means the birth of many children.
You should display them anywhere in the bedroom and of course be careful if anyone in the home suffers with nut allergies.
Avoid fire element and colours red, pink or purple. Good colours are blue, grey or black. If you wish to enhance areas of creativity and academic achievements, place or hang moving objects to enhance the Ch’i of this sector, do not use wind chimes. Keep area semi active with windows occasionally open.
Cures and enhancers summary:
– Use blue in your décor if this is your office or bedroom.
– For office and studies, place a task light and a crystal globe on the work desks. Blue items can be added on the desk e.g. blue paper, blue books etc
– Avoid displaying metal objects here especially large heavy ornaments.
– Fresh flowers or small pots of green leafy or flowering plants can be displayed in this spot of the house to lift the qi. Blue or green flowers are a good choice.
– If you have mandarin ducks this is a good area to have them and any other symbols of romance like hugging couples etc.
– Place photos of loved ones or images of love to enhance relationships or attract new love. This can be photos, paintings or statues, make sure there is always a pair in the image.
– For romance a Dragon headed Tortoise or Mandarin Ducks are very good
This is a lovely influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.
Southeast
The 5 Yellow (Lian Zhen) star of tragedy is located in this area this month and flies In to where the annual #8 star is located. It affects the overall luck, virtually all types of illness including many mind related problems with regards to the thought process, lack of energy and procrastination. It will not affect anyone in particular in the home as the #5 star does not have a trigram and no yin or yang energy so to speak and this is why the negative aspects of this star are so strong.
This is not a good combination between the monthly and annual stars this October as we need to weaken the bad earth with metal which will also weaken the good annual #8 star. When we are met with this situation, the best thing to do is avoid the area which is rarely an option. I would introduce some white throws or cushions in to the southeast during October and try to keep this area as quiet as possible.
Overall a very inauspicious star and needs either cures or avoidance this month in this area otherwise it can cause many problems. If your bedroom, office, lounge, main door or other important room is located in this area and you are unable to move out, please read this section carefully.
The good news is you now know this is an inauspicious star and you can do much to dissipate its negative influences for the month so do not panic at all.
The 5 Yellow also called ‘Wu Huang or Lian Zhen’ in Chinese, is one of the bad monthly afflictions. It is an extremely unstable star. It has no gender and no trigram and is highly treacherous when disturbed. When disturbed, its malicious influence brings tragedy, sickness, lawsuits and major loss of wealth. Do be careful with it. Stillness together with metal cures can keep its negative influences at bay, and you must avoid using fire energy like reds and candles in this area this month.
You should place a Wu Lou and six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon and also place more metal decorative objects (provided they are not menacing looking, round shape metal is good) to dissipate its negative influence.
You MUST NEVER disturb this area inside or out with lots of drilling or knocking activities. So please be careful if you have work to do and if you have a main door here you should also place a flat Ba Gua wealth protection mirror.
You must not place red objects, bright lights, candles or red coloured furnishing this month. Do not worry if you have these colours already for the annual star, introduce colours white, silver, gold or copper in the way of a floor mat, cushions, throws, tablecloth or similar. You can also use dark blue or black if you prefer.
If your bathroom, cloakroom, en-suite, guest room or a large cupboard is located here, this is good for you, because these areas are not used much, and therefore the negative power is not activated.
Summary: Do not activate this area with loud noises this month, keep area quiet and avoid at all costs building work or refurbishment. Do not use the fire element or colours red, pink or purple. Keep doors closed. Place a Wu Lou and six coins here along with metal ornaments. Use colours white, silver, gold or copper. I will repeat this part, as it is so important, please keep this area of your home or office as quiet as possible this month, avoid redecoration and building work in this part of your home or office.
To calm interactions:
– Avoid playing loud music in this area of the home or room.
– Do not decorate your room with red or earth colours this month. Grey, blue or white beddings and curtains are good colours to use temporarily.
– Place a set of six Chinese coins tied in a row with a red ribbon this month
– Place a Brass Wu-Lou in this corner of the room if this is your bedroom.
– Metal objects such as six Chinese metal coins tied in a red ribbon and a brass Dragon can be placed in this corner too. Do not to use red dragons.
– Most of all, avoid disturbing this area at all costs. Any form of renovations that needs to be done to plan it for another month. It is worth keeping this in mind.
– A Pi Yao in gold colour is very effective at not only reducing the bad earth but by also protecting your wealth for the month in this area.
Remember this is only a passing influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.
South
Kan 1 White Kan (Tang Lang) is a water element and a yang Trigram. In the physical body, it is the ear. This star also affects wealth career and luck, and because it is timely in period 8 (2004 – 2024), it is considered an auspicious flying star.
This area can also be very good for relationships this month and to enhance you should introduce some metal elements that are round in shape, a traditional enhancer and cure is a brass wu lou or any object that is round in shape and made from a good quality metal like brass copper, steel. Introducing too much metal will weaken the annual #4 wood star so try not to use too much.
If you activate this area of the home this month, it can bring in new opportunities, gains in financial investments, academic achievements and also romance and relationships as peach blossom is very good here.
If this area is a bedroom, office, study lounge or other important room you should place a wu lou or other round metal objects which is auspicious. It is also very good to hang a set of six Chinese i-ching coins tied with red ribbon. This is a very traditional and authentic enhancer for the #1 flying star.
Blues, black, grey or charcoal would be a good colour scheme for this room. You can introduce these colours in beddings, throws, lampshades, pillow covers etc. If you have a bed located in this area, remember to place a brass wu-lou beside the bed. Avoid fire colours like red, pink, purple, orange, lilac etc. in this area and also avoid candles at all costs.
If you disturb this area this month, you may cause problems for the middle son, and it could affect ears, kidneys or blood related. If you have any poison arrows like a lamp post, pylons or large comers of house’s pointing toward this area consider hanging a flat ba gua mirror outside pointing towards the offending object. Generally, though there is nothing to worry about with the #1 star as it is it is timely and an auspicious star.
Enhancement summary and advice.
– A brass Wu-Lou is advisable for a bedroom that falls into this area along with all shades of blue, black, grey or charcoal colours. This is especially so if you are not in good health and if you cannot buy a wu lou place a heavy round object close to your bed but avoid candles or colours red, pink, orange, purple or any fire colours.
– Place a set of six auspicious i-ching Chinese coins tied with red ribbon in a certain order (Xing Yun Qang) this is so important if you have a middle son sleeping or spending a lot of time in this area this month.
– Avoid candles or fire colours like red, pink, purple, orange or burgundy in this area.
– If the middle son is weak and unhealthy be careful if extending or refurbishing this area of your home or office this month, it could cause them problems.
– Place creative enhancements like displaying an abacus, calligraphy set, artist tools like canvas, brushes etc. this month.
This is a lovely influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.
Southwest
Chen 3 Jade (Lu Cun Xing) is a wood star and a yang Trigram. It affects the feet, lungs, convulsions, liver, bladder, limbs and hysteria. It also affects the eldest son and overall very inauspicious and needs cures or avoidance this month in this area otherwise it can cause many problems.
We have the annual #6 metal star in the southwest along with the visiting #3 wood star, and this should naturally weaken the #3 star without causing problems although we will still need to place cures and enhancers.
You must be aware of the possibliity of theft, arguments, disputes, hot tempers, loss of wealth and legal problems especially if you have the main door or important room in the southwest during October 2018.
If your bedroom, office, lounge, main door or other important room is located in the southwest and you are unable to move out, please read this section carefully. The good news is you now know this is an inauspicious star and you can do much to dissipate its negative influences for the month, so do not panic at all.
To remedy its effects use red decorative objects, candles, lamps and lights. A nice simple cure is a red, pink, purple, burgundy (fire colour) floor mat or a table lamp with a red shade. Do not use metal (metal colour is ok) to control this energy.
If you have the main door or an important room like office, lounge or study ensure that documents signed during the month are checked through thoroughly before committing. The influence of a Chen 3 in Period 8 denotes possible arguments, disagreement, back stabbing and in extreme cases, this can result in lawsuits, either as a petitioner or a defendant and also causes loss of wealth.
Either case there will be a loss of time, energy and wealth, so please be careful during this month especially if you have the main door in this area and if you can, try and use another door to enter and leave. You should also hang a Ba Gua mirror with a Chinese i-ching coin on the rear for added protection this month.
Do not undertake any form of noisy renovations or re-decorative work in this part of your house or office this month. Nor should you disturb the ground by digging, building foundations or conduct any maintenance work with any noisy equipment in this area inside or outside your property or garden this month.
To calm interactions:
– Place a light in this area if you have a choice, a lamp with a wooden stand and a peach/red shade is better.
– Do not hang wind chimes of any material in this area this month, especially metal wind chimes as it will worsen matters. If you have been advised by a professional Practitioner or our main software flying star section advises you to hang a wind chime, this is fine.
– During hot summer months, make sure the fan is not located in this area this month.
– Take extra security measures for the whole home or business during this month and check smoke alarms.
– Check through everything before signing documents if you have a main door here.
– Try and keep this area quiet and do not disturb with loud noises.
– Try not to let children or noisy animals play in this area.
– Beware of backstabbing, as sometimes it is unseen and behind your back and also from someone you thought you knew quite well.
– Most important is not to disturb the ground inside or out.
West
Ken 8 White Zuo Fu is an earth star and a yang Trigram and is the most auspicious governing flying star of the lower era of the sexagenarian cycle of the flying stars (Xuan Kong) system which is period 8 (2004 – 2024). It affects the hands, fingers, pancreas and back. It also affects wealth career and luck, and because it is timely in period 8 (2004 – 2024), it is considered the most auspicious flying star.
Unfortunately, the monthly #8 star has fallen in to the same sector as the annual #2 which we are using metal cures to weaken the negative influence. If we were to enhance the #8 star with fire cures, we would also be enhancing the bad #2 star. The west will need to be treated with care during October 2018.
Wealth, fame, romance, prestige and distinction can be expected especially if you have an office here, even if you do not you can still activate it. When activated correctly it brings good fortune and exciting times even with the conflict of elements. The #8 star also governs relationships so a nice romance enhancer is a pair of Mandarin Ducks.
While wealth is forecast this month for this area, beware of overworking as this can cause you health problems if you have a bedroom or office here. The additional work will bring a good income but be careful of your health; in particular, stress related resulting in high blood pressure or kidney problems.
Once you activate this area, it is a very strong wealth, success and romance area for the month so try and store your important financial papers here like pensions, stock portfolio etc. If you use symbolic cures, this is where you should place your three-legged Toad facing your Sheng Chi direction for wealth or a pair of Mandarin Ducks for romance.
To enhance:
– A gold three-legged toad can be placed here. Make sure the toad is facing into the house and not towards the door, and the coin is never taken out of his mouth.
– Do not use any fire colours in this area to balance the energies. It is much safer to avoid enhancing the monthly star.
– If your bedroom is here, you can also place an amethyst or any crystal items in the area of the bedroom to further strengthen the earth element of the benevolent 8.
– A romance enhancer is a pair of Mandarin Ducks in this area this month.
Northwest
Tui 7 Red (Po Jun) robbery star is a metal star and a yin trigram and known as the mischievous Po Jun #7 argumentative red star is a negative influence in Period 8. The trigram Tui is also known as ’Broken Soldier’. This is a fighting star which can cause problems if left alone, the #7 Red indicates a high risk of burglary, deception, copyright theft, gossip and back stabbing this month.
Luckily, the annual #1 water still will be drawing energy from the monthly #7 star this month as we have metal feeding water which means the negative influence from the seven should be weakened.
This area is not good for writers, artist or children studying and especially so for the youngest daughter although cures can be placed to dissipate the negative influence this month so do not worry.
If you have a door that is used often in this area or even a window you should be looking to update security, smoke alarms and checking electrics. Please take this advice seriously as I have been doing this a long time and I know when this combination meets it can cause many problems this month.
Sorry to harp on but please take extra security measures especially if you have a front, back or side door in this sector. Make sure doors and windows are fastened securely before leaving the house. Do not display valuable items on windowsills, which may attract the interests of passers-by.
It pays to be wise and avoid taking too many risks for there may be unscrupulous people working against you. There are indications of misunderstandings, pressure and business rivalries that could also lead to losses. Keep this area quiet, and doors and windows kept closed this month.
Good colours are blue or black. Avoid earth and fire colours and quartz crystals. If you have an office or door in this area be careful of people trying to deceive you, robbery, arguments and loss of wealth, always look at the very small print and be careful as this star normally causes problems with people you know and thought you could trust.
Remedy:
– You should also use more blue, grey, black or charcoal colours in your decoration. You can introduce the colour with cushions, rugs, bed covers or doormats.
– Do not use anything of fire element or colours red to control it as this may aggravate it.
– Avoid candles in this area at all costs.
– Install or service/upgrade smoke alarms and security systems.
– Do not hang metal wind chimes here.
Remember this is only a passing influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.
Centre
Ch’ien 6 White, The star of Heaven star (Wu Qu), is a compassionate money star and a yang Trigram, and it affects the lungs, large intestines and head and can impact the Patriarch (eldest male) although on the whole it is considered an auspicious star.
The Ch’ien metal 6 is a conditional star and is auspicious in Period 8 (2004 – 2024). It governs wealth, leadership, success and ambition and is very good for politicians, leaders and anyone involved in the jewellery business.
Those who have main doors or offices in this area may enjoy excellent business and career success. However, while 6 White represents an accomplishment, if the #6 monthly star is located in a bedroom, it can cause problems with the throat, and legs and also problems with breathing especially for the eldest male although they are a minor problem and nothing to worry about if you follow the advice here. If you do have a bedroom in this area place some blue, black, grey or charcoal cloth such as a rug or duvet covers to dissipate its energy.
Enhancers and cures if needed:
– If this is your bedroom, a shade of blue or black in your furnishing or décor may help with health. A blue painting (not water scene) may also do.
– Place a set of six coins in a row in this area; these are very traditional and powerful cures.
– Real quartz crystal is very good in this area for the month as are faceted crystal spheres.
– Avoid colours red and candles in this area this month
This is a lovely influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.
