TUTORIALS >> 8 Mansions Feng Shui.

Also known as the Pa Kua Lo Shu or the East West System as it is more popularly referred to, the Eight Mansions is one of the most potent formulas in Feng Shui.

The 8 Mansions is based on the Trigrams of the Pa Kua. These are then used in conjunction with a persons date of birth to ascertain a person's personal directions and sectors. Everyone is blessed with four positive directions and four negative directions.

Within the 8 Mansions system, every individual is divided into either an East group or West group person. And each person, like a magnetically charged pole has their own personal directions. You can then tap into your personal direction to enhance the different life aspects that each direction represents.

 

The 4 Cardinal Positive Directions

Sheng Chi

Referred to by Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai as the life generating or wealth enhancing Chi. Governs personal wealth, political aspirations, business prosperity, authority and auspicious luck. This direction is said to be responsible for a person's overall well being.

 

Tien Yi

 

Heavenly Doctor. Referred to as such because this is the direction and location that governs health. Those recovering from illnesses should also pay special attention here. Also this direction is said to bring the right person to you at the right time.

 

Nien Yin

 

This handles relationships; marital, family and all affairs of the heart in between. Also responsible for a persons networking and public relations. Those looking to have kids or finding the right partner should take a look at their Nien Yin sector.

 

Fu Wei

 

The last of the good directions, Fu Wei deals with a persons mental and personal stability. It is considered by many to be the calming direction. Governs personal development, meditation and cultivation of an individuals personal growth. Excellent for meditation and spiritual development. Might suit those who find themselves constantly restless.

 

The 4 Cardinal Negative Directions

Ho Hai

Minor mishaps and accidents are the major influence of this direction. This may cause slowdowns in your projects and little obstacles in many aspects of your life. Most of them annoying rather than destructive but it always seems like there's always some small hurdle to cross.

 

Wu Gwei

 

Often referred to as the direction of the 5 Ghosts. A direction that could lead to arguments, political backstabbing as well as disharmony. You may also face disloyalty from those whom you once trusted. Some people may even find themselves being less trusting of others. A lack of enthusiasm and drive is also a significant detriment of the Wu Gwei direction. It may even lead to adultery.

 

Liu Sha

 

The Six Killings is a highly disruptive and destructive direction. Leading to injury and accidents within your career. Any projects you may be undertaking could also turn out a dismal failure. Harm may also befall a person facing his personal Liu Sha direction. This could be due to robbery, theft or fires. Scandals, perhaps even those relating to sexual affairs could arise. Children may even turn against their own parents and inadvertently a loss of wealth could be the dire consequence.

 

Chueh Ming

 

The direction often referred to as the total loss direction by many Feng Shui practitioners. It may even be life threatening and is similar to the effects of the Five Yellow star (of the Flying Star school). Any project you undertake may fail even before you begin. If you're in business, you may face problems of corruption, fraud and embezzlement. Accidents and life threatening incidents could also crop up routinely. Emotional instability could also lead to family disharmony and break-ups.
