Locating The Auspicious And Inauspicious Sectors Of Your Home

According to Eight Mansions Feng Shui, every house can be divided into eight sectors - four auspicious and four inauspicious. Where these eight sectors are located in a house is determined by the Kua number of the head of the household.

Once you have your Kua number, you can find out which are your four auspicious sectors and which are your four inauspicious sectors.

The next step is to get hold of the house's floorplan that's drawn to scale. With a compass, determine the directions and draw a pie chart like the one illustrated below:

You'll then be able to identify the four auspicious sectors and your four inauspicious sectors for the family.

Finding Your Auspicious and Inauspicious Directions

Every one of us has four auspicious directions and four inauspicious directions. When you learn to activate your auspicious directions and avoid your inauspicious directions, you're able to improve many aspects of your life, including your health, relationships, and financial situation.

The first step of finding your auspicious and inauspicious directions is to calculate your Kua Number.

Once you've calculated your Kua number, you can refer to the chart below to find out your four auspicious directions (Sheng Chi, Tien Yi, Yan Nien, and Fu Wei) and your four inauspicious directions (Ho Hai, Wu Kwei , Lui Sha, and Chueh Ming)

The directions for male and female are different for Kua number 5. So if you're Male, you'll have to look under Column 5(M) and if you're Female, you'll have to look under the Column 5(F).

Kua Number
	1	2	3	4	5 (M)	5 (F)	6	7	8	9
Sheng Chi	SE	NE	S	N	NE	SW	W	NW	SW	E
Tien Yi	E	W	N	S	W	NW	NE	SW	NW	SE
Yan Nien	S	NW	SE	E	NW	W	SW	NE	W	N
Fu Wei	N	SW	E	SE	SW	NE	W	W	NE	S
Ho Hai	W	E	SW	NW	E	S	SE	N	S	NE
Wu Kwei	NE	SE	NW	SW	SE	N	E	S	N	W
Lui Sha	NW	S	NE	W	S	E	N	SE	E	SW
Chueh Ming	SW	N	W	NE	N	SE	S	E	SE	NW

Four Auspicious Directions

Sheng Chi is the direction for attracting prosperity, wealth and fame into your life.

Tien Yi is the direction for improving your health and bring longevity.

Yen Nien is the direction for enhancing family relationships.

Fu Wei is the direction for achieving self-actualization and peace.

Four Inauspicious Directions

Wu Kwei is the direction that leads to loss of income/employment and burglaries.

Home Improvement Tip #7: Your Front Door Should Not Face The Back Door

A house that's constructed with the front door facing the back door directly, like the one in the first picture below, is a house that's incapable of accumulating wealth energies.

Wealth energies that come in from the front door will quickly exit from the back door. Wealth energies that come in from the back door will quickly exit from the front door.

What you'll need to do if you're faced with this situation is to put a partition or build a wall between the front and back door so that they do not face each other directly, like what's shown in this second picture.

If for any reason, it's not possible for you to have a partition or wall between the two doors, you should try as much as possible to keep the back door shut.

Fishing Around For Wealth

In Feng Shui, water symbolizes wealth. The word "fish" in Mandarin is pronounced the same way as "excess". That's the reason why rearing fish is one of the most effective ways to bring you wealth so that you can enjoy a life of excess.

To be able to activate the wealth energies in your home, shop or office, you'll need to learn how to set up an aquarium in the right way.

When I'm talking about setting up your aquarium in the right way, I'm neither talking about water temperature nor am I talking about ammonia and nitrite levels. I'm talking about how to set up the aquarium based on the principles of Feng Shui to attract wealth.

Where do you place your aquarium?

The location of your aquarium is very important since you want to place it where it's most ideal to accumulate wealth energies.

Of the four sectors of your house, the front and the back have the biggest impact on your wealth. It's not advisable, however, to set up your aquarium at the back of your house.

The back of the house, where the bedrooms are usually at, is a sector that should be kept peaceful and quiet. Since there's too much activities and movement generated by the aquarium with the fishes swimming and the filter pumping away, it's recommended that you place the aquarium in the front sector near the front door.

What's the shape of your fish tank?

You may not know this, but the shape of your fish tank is an important factor that you need to pay attention to when setting up the aquarium.

Buying a fish tank of the wrong shape may actually adversely affect the health of the people living in the house (or working in the office) instead of attracting wealth.

The best fish tank (strictly from a Feng Shui perspective) is a circular fish tank.

Why are circular fish tanks the best?

First, circular fish tanks do not have sharp corners (or "poison arrows") which can be detrimental to your health.

Second, a circle belongs to the Metal element. And according to the Cycle of Birth of the Five Elements, Metal melts into a liquid state when subjected to intense heat. Hence, Metal is said to give birth to Water (Wealth).

The conventional rectangular tank (with 90-degree corners) is considered neither good nor bad so if you can't find a circular tank, go for the rectangular ones.

How many fish should I keep?

The number of fish you should rear will depend on your element.

If you belong to the Water element, you should have either 1 or 6 fish.

If you belong to the Fire element, you should have either 2 or 7 fish.

If you belong to the Wood element, you should have either 3 or 8 fish.

If you belong to the Metal element, you should have either 4 or 9 fish.

If you belong to the Earth element, you should have either 5 or 10 fish.

It doesn't mean that the more fish you have, the more wealth you'll attract. The number of fish you keep should depend on the size of your fish tank. Afterall what you want is a thriving aquarium.

What types of fish should you keep?

In general you can keep any kind of fish although the arowana, flower horn fish (Luo Han) and goldfish are good for attracting wealth.

Toss A Coin

Chinese coins are popular symbols used to attract wealth. I guess it has to do with its simplicity. All you need to do is put three coins tied on a red string in your wallet or your purse.

But it's not just any coins. You need three coins that were in circulation during the reign of the first five emperors of the Ch'ing dynasty.

In ancient China, it was customary for each emperor to produce a set of coins marked with his name during his reign.

Under the rule of the first five emperors of the Ch'ing dynasty - Shun Chi, Kang Hsi, Yung Cheng, Chien Lung and Chia Ching, China enjoyed peace and prosperity.

Collectively the coins produced during the times of these five emperors are called the Five Emperors' Coins.

Shun Chi

Kang Hsi

Yung Cheng

Chien Lung

Chia Ching

You'll need to be able to read Chinese characters to be able to tell one coin from the other. Most likely you'll be buying replicas of these coins since the real ones would actually be antiques.

What makes the Five Emperor's Coins so powerful in attracting wealth?

First, the coin is designed with the balance of Yin and Yang in mind.

The square hole in the center of the coin represents the Earth, which is considered fixed and linear. The circular shape of the coin represents the boundless power of Heaven. The coin is designed in such a way to attract positive Chi.

Two, you benefit from the prosperity associated with the auspicious era of the Five Emperors. The Ch'ing Dynasty may be long gone but the prosperity enjoyed during the auspicious era of the Five Emperors will be translated into prosperity enjoyed by you.

What you'll need to do is to get three of the Five Emperors' Coins. The three coins represent the union of Heaven, Earth and Man and when the three coins are tied together with a red string, they represent endless wealth and prosperity.

Put the three coins in the compartment of your wallet or purse where you usually put your money. You may purchase
3 Chien Lung coins tied on a red string from Dragon Gate's website.

Corner-ed your WEALTH in your living room

You can find your own wealth area in your living room; some methods might be relevant to you but no harm trying. Here are some of the common methods.

1) The wealth corner is about 45 degrees (on left or right side) of your main door to the far end of the living room. At this corner, you can place some wealth-enhancing artifacts, like an amethyst crystal cave, gold ingots or coins, a DIY Feng Shui wealth pot (let me cover this at later article), etc.

2) Another wealth corner in the living room is a place that direct light will have ‘no access’ to your wealth artifacts and they are not visible to anyone. The Chinese has a saying, “Wealth should not be revealed to the eye.” Else it will attract robbers and others’ envy… (I have tried this method).

3) The wealth corner could be based on the Eight Trigram direction. If success in career is considered your wealth, North direction is the activation corner.

4) This is the toughest one (but should be most effective). Have not tried though since it is difficult to follow and implement. Using the Xuan Kong Flying Stars method, this group in practice believes that wealth luck will change directions every hour. Most Feng Shui masters in this practice will give you a yearly guide and a small artifact (maybe a bat encompassing a coin, bat has the same sound as good luck in Mandarin). You will just need to follow the guide every year to move the artifact to that year’s wealth corner.

If you felt that you are contented now, don’t bother to try any methods. BUT ALAS, money is never enough. Please donate if there is excess cash... for your next life.

Let the fingers do the walking

Ever seen someone with many rings on their fingers? Are they just RICH?

Based on my understanding, the middle finger is “wealth” and not for vulgar reasons. Wearing a ring here will enhance wealth luck and generate money. :)

Ring on the last finger is supposed to ward off bad or evil people. However, you will need to move ring from left hand to right hand (of last finger) every 3 months or else it will attract bad or evil people. BACK FIRE! So make sure you wear it on the last finger after careful considerations, e.g. if you feel that you are always ‘back-stabbed’ in the office or anywhere.

Finally, the third finger (in between middle and last fingers) is known as ‘anonymous’ finger. It does not have any ‘value’ to it. That’s why a wedding ring is always there, to make known your status. Of course, this has nothing to do with attracting more money.

BUT….

How many of you felt that your luck has changed since marriage? Whether it is for the better or worse, mine changed for the better.
