Wu lou or Calabash

Jeannie — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:55:56 +0000

Here’s a picture of Wu lou that I use to counter the sickness star #2 in the Flying Star Feng Shui. As a matter of fact, I have several wu lous in my house… I put one in the North-East sector (home of star #2 in the current Period 8 – from February 2004 to February 2024) of our house; another one in the North-West sector for 2008 where annual star #2 resides, and which I will move to the West sector where the star #2 will be located next February; I have a third one which I move monthly to the different sector according to the Monthly Flying Star, for example it is in the South-East sector for this month. Finally, I also place one each on our children’s and our night tables to ensure good health.

This is no superstition and can be explained by Yi Jing (The Book of Changes). Master Joseph Yu has written an article on this, just click on the following link if you’re interested:

A question of interpretation…

Jeannie — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 14:53:05 +0000

A friend emailed me the following story… “Two wolves”

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, ‘My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.

One is Evil.. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.’

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ‘Which wolf wins?’

The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.’

Now if you would consider, for a moment, that the battle is inside one’s house, the good is the auspicious and vibrant energy and the evil is bad energy, which energy do you think would win?

Auspicious dates

Jeannie — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:12:14 +0000

I was looking at my calendar and wow… we have four consecutive auspicious days this week:

June 17 – best hours 11:00am – 7:00pm

June 18 – best hours 9:00am – 1:00pm

June 19 – best hours 3:00pm – 5:00pm

June 20 – best hours 5:00am – 7:00am and 3:00pm – 5:00pm

These are Blood Link dates, all the hexagrams communicate and belong to the same family. They are exceptionally good and are acceptable even with clashing branches.

They are good for moving house, begin new business, launching new products, signing contracts, placing water features, getting married, why not buying a lottery ticket to try your luck The given hours must be respected to gain maximum effects. Good luck

Monthly star 5 & Annual Star 2

Jeannie — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 14:24:46 +0000

On June 6, I woke up with a sore throat. It took me a couple of days to realize that the Monthly star 5 is meeting annual star 2 in the NW sector this solar month starting June 5 at 4:12pm to end on July 7 at 2:35am. This NW direction happens to be our bedroom. So if your bedroom, living room, dining room, study, any or most of your activities is found in this NW area, please try to keep it as calm as possible. Remove red color or triangular shape objects as they would stimulate the earth energies of these two stars, thus aggravating the situation. I also suggest placing a metal wu lou here. You can also place five golden balls in a golden basket to pacify star 5.

May you have good health

Are you aware of sharp edges pointing at you?

Jeannie — Tue, 20 May 2008 15:17:59 +0000

If you take some time to look around you, your house, or just anywhere, you are sure to notice that there are sharp edges pointing in every direction. What’s important is that we don’t want them to be pointing directly at us, at our bed, at our desk, or at our main door.

If you were invited to a friend’s house for dinner, and you were seated at a place where a sharp edge is pointing at you; don’t panic! This is just temporary and will not do you any harm. However, if the edge of a square pillar in your home is pointing at your angle where you sit daily, then you should be more concerned. Other examples can be like the corner of your dining table, the edge of your colleague’s table, a neighbor’s roof, etc., etc.

Here are some tips to avoid and smoothen these sharp pointing edges or arrows:

use table cloth to cover up the corners;
round up the sharp edges;
place a green plant or a solid object;
hang a beautiful painting;
cover it with a reflective material like mirrors, provided the surrounding is beautiful;
wrap it with soft materials with beautiful colors;
if it’s a pillar, you could replaster it to make it a round column;
this list is not exhaustive.

You can be very creative here as long as it shields off these sharp pointing edges/arrows. If you have other creative ideas, I would be glad to hear from you.

What about the toilets or WCs?

Jeannie — Sat, 10 May 2008 16:59:37 +0000

As a matter of fact, there is nothing wrong with the toilets or WCs as far as Feng Shui is concerned. Why you would asked… yet there are so many Feng Shui practitioners who say that toilets bring sha qi (bad energy)?

You see, in the ancient times, toilets are built outside of a Chinese home, so toilets are never included in a Feng Shui audit LOL ! Nowadays, the toilets are built in the house or in a living quarter for our comfort. So what should we do? Keep the toilet lid down; close the door; keep it spic and span, then we don’t have to worry about our toilets. These are not Feng Shui cures, but simple common sense and for aesthetic reasons.

But does it bring bad energy? Yes, only if there is unpleasant odor. Pungent smell; ugly views; unsightly colors; unfriendly sound; etc. constitutes some of the elements that bring bad energies.

That being said, try to ensure that the toilet is not located in one of your four auspicious directions according to your Gua number. This is because we want to tap into the good energies available in these directions as much as we possibly can.

About Chinese calendars…

Jeannie — Thu, 01 May 2008 16:03:20 +0000

There are two types of calendars that Chinese people use quite frequently. The Lunar Calendar is most popular because the traditional celebration of the Chinese new year is based on this calendar. As the name suggests, it follows the moon cycles. It has twelve months with twenty-nine or thirty days, making a total of 354 or 355 days. A leap month is introduced approximately every three years since there is a difference of about eleven days compared to the Gregorian calendar.

The Solar calendar, also known as Xia calendar simply because it was invented during the reign of Xia Dynasty, is based on the revolution of the earth around the sun. There are twenty-four Jie Qi making up the twelve solar months, incorporating the 60 Jia Zi made up of 10 Heavenly stems and 12 earthly branches. The 10 Heavenly stems are the yin and yang polarities of the 5 elements, namely water, wood, fire, earth, and metal; while the 12 Earthly Branches are the twelve animal signs.

The solar year always begins on February 4 or 5, the day is called “Li Chun” meaning the beginning of spring. This calendar is the key to determine and calculate the exact timing of an event, especially useful for Feng Shui and Bazi professionals. In the old days, it is also an important guideline for the peasants in their agriculture planning.

In yin and yang terms, the Lunar calendar is known as Yin calendar while the Solar calendar the Yang calendar.
