12 Earthly Branches (1)

Continuing from my previous post, as we are in a Tiger year, we shall start with the Tiger. 

Here are the characteristics of the tiger.  They are unpredicted, strong, determined, attractive and courageous.   Tiger people are noisy, very outspoken and eager to attract attention around them by roaring, mind you, they can be romantic, charismatic and independent as well.  Fiercely adventurous, moody, impulsive, and reckless… yes, that's tiger also.   They live life to the fullest and on their terms.  They make good leaders and are usually very successful.  They can be boisterous or may be egoistic, in fact they are quite unreliable.  They don’t like to be challenged and wants to always win, my advice: don’t step on their tails or you will be in trouble.    Give them as many flattery as you can and they'll love you. 

Who are their friends then?  According to the Chinese zodiacs, those born under the animal signs of Horse and Dog.

Who are their competitor, foe?  Those born under the animal sign of Monkey.

And finally, who are the tigers?  People born after February 4th in 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, and 2010.

  

What is “12 Earthly Branches”?

We are now into the second month of our Yang Metal Tiger (庚寅 Geng Yin) year, and this second month is a Yin Earth Rabbit (己卯 Ji Mao) month.  Now what does it mean?   Well, this is the way the ancient Chinese establish the concept of time.  They use a combination of one stem which represents the qi (energy) from heaven, and one branch which represent the earthly energy.  There are altogether 10 stems and 12 branches; together they complete the cycle of 60.   (Note: There is an academic explanation of why 60 and not 120, but I won't go into details here.)  

  

So the Chinese calendar goes on a 60-year cycle, 60 month cycle, 60 day cycle, and 60 hour cycle.  When each cycle of 60 (year, month, day, and hour) is completed, it will repeat itself and go on to another cycle of 60 again.

 

In Chinese, the 12 Earthly branches are called Di Zhi (地支).   Di is the earth, soil, land, ground, etc.; and Zhi is the branch, it can also mean support, or division, even to pay out or disperse.   That’s why we call it the 12 Earthly branches. 

The 12 Earthly branches are also the 12 Chinese zodiacs in the Chinese Astrology, they represent 12 different animals.   According to one legend, when Buddha found enlightenment under the Budhi tree, he invited all the animals to his kingdom to celebrate… only a total of 12 animals turned up. The rat was the first, followed by the ox, then the tiger, the rabbit and so on and finally the pig.

Out of gratitude, Buddha decided to name the year after each of the animals in their order of arrival, and people born under that year would inherit the personality traits of that particular animal.

 

I will cover the characteristics of each and every animal in my next post.

  

Locate your Wealth Star

As you probably know, in the space of each building, be it a house, an apartment, or an office, different types of energy reside in different parts of the building, by using the concept of Xuan Kong Flying Stars Feng Shui, we can locate and evaluate the intangible energy which lies in your home, and identify the location of your Wealth Star

What is a Wealth Star?
In this current period (2004 to 2024), Star #8 is most prosperous and vibrant.  It can represent wealth such as your income, properties, other financial sources, and prosperity of the premises and occupants.

How to tap on and activate the energies of the Wealth Star? 
Because it is a Wealth Star, a water feature can be placed in that sector of your home to activate the "wealth" energy to your advantage.  Water features include aquariums, fountains, swimming pool, moving water, etc.  

Where to place the water feature?
Many a time, people want to know where to place their water feature. The correct placement of your water feature is very important in that it may bring you your so desired "wealth" if your Heaven Luck indicates the potentiality. On the contrary, incorrect placement may bring you loss of wealth, or even bankruptcy.

Our service here is to help you determine the location of Star 8, i.e. your Wealth Star, in your premises (house, apartment, or office).   Click here to order. Your home will be charted to identify where the Wealth Star is residing in your home.   Also, the Chart will indicate the 8 compass directions of your home or office to enable you a correct placement of your cures.

To locate your Wealth Star, we will need the following information from you to be sent via EMAIL TO ME (all information will be kept strictly private and confidential) :-

1) your house or floor plans (in JPG format if possible) drawn accurately and to scale.   If you’re living in a Condominium, please indicate which floor you’re on

2) date when your house or building was constructed – please also specify any major renovations done to house/building after the completion date

Happy Lunar New Year! Gong Xi Fai Cai!

            

I'd like to extend my very best wishes to all of you who are celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year… May this New Year bring you and your loved ones more happiness, joy, prosperity, good health and peace!  

It is a custom for one's parents to distribute a "hong pao" (red packet) containing "money", sometimes "jewelry" to their children.   Fruits and sweets are also distributed as a token for a sweet and happy life. 

Red is Chinese favorite color as it represents good luck and auspiciousness.  Nowadays, it is a common practice to give a "hong pao" containing three coins tie with a ribbon (as shown in the image above) to relatives and friends    This symbolizes sharing wealth and luck.  

You can buy and tie the coins yourself, or order them from my Home Page (Feng Shui coins).

Bird Release Ceremony

Those of you who have experienced or bathed in the Chinese culture and custom will know that the Bird Release Ceremony (BRC) is an important practice  during the Chinese New Year.  As a matter of fact, this ritual is not monopolized by the Chinese, you probably have heard of the release of white doves in a wedding ceremony, or seen other bird releases symbolizing peace.

Bird Release Ceremony is performed
1. to get rid of Xiao Ren (wicked and vicious people or people who cause us problems and troubles)
2. to invite Gui Ren (benefactors, noblemen, Holy Angels, and our guardian angel who protect and save us from desperate situations)

This year, Master atan offers

1. The Sacred Fire Ceremony for the God of Wealth
This is to invite and welcome the God of Wealth into your house on the eve of the Chinese New Year, also to receive the blessings of the Wealth God

2. BRC for Gui Ren
This is an important ritual to give thanks to our Gui Ren who has helped and blessed us all along year in and year out.

These two ceremonies will be performed during the first 15 days of the Chinese New Year (from February 14 to 28, 2010).  I would recommend both the ceremonies if you're interested. 

It will automatically include one year of Master atan's prayers.  The cost for each ceremony is USD 38.00 per family.

Please click (under Bird Release) to join now.

Good Luck and my very best wishes for a safe, happy, healthy, and prosperous Chinese New Year!

  

Feng Shui Tips for 2010 (3) – Salt and Coins Cure

What is a Salt and Coins Cure?
This is an ancient cure recommended by many Feng Shui Masters and practitioners to soften and suppress the negative qi (energy) brought along by Flying Star 5 and Star 2.  Both these stars, when untimely, are known to bring misfortune, illnesses, and calamities.

For 2010, Star 5 is positioned in the Southwest direction while Star 2 is positioned diagonally opposite Star 5 in the Northeast direction.  It would be good to place a Salt and Coins Cure (SCC) in both these directions of your residence or offices.  

If you would like to take advantage of this cure, it is simple and easy to prepare.  What you need is a colorless glass jar filled with 500 grams of sea salt, place 6 Chinese Yijing coins (those with a square hole in the center) on top of the salt, make sure that the four characters of the coins are facing up, slowly pour in tap water to top up the jar.  You are advised to put a glass plate under the jar to protect your furniture or flooring in case the salt formation spills over (see image).

Again, these coins can be purchased in any Feng Shui shops in your area.  If you preferred to purchased the coins which are empowered with positive energy, you can order them here (under Feng Shui coins – 2 sets of 6 coins for US$ 38.00 only). 

Here's the link to some FAQ including how to prepare the SCC and some pictures for your ready reference.
