Lesson 8: Astrology and Feng Shui

Nine Star Ki and Feng Shui

Recently, I came across an article written by a Feng Shui consultant who had a client who came to her puzzled. She had a well designed house that followed all of the "pop" Feng Shui rules, but would immediately lose energy and become lethargic when returning to her home. She had no clutter, and was an interior designer by trade. Looking at her Nine Star Ki numbers, which were 5-2-2, the consultant asked what colors the rooms were. Her house was all shades of beige, white and light blue - with ALL earth signs in her Nine Star Ki, she was sadly lacking fire which symbolizes energy. The consultant recommended repainting in shades of peach, red, and orange - bringing in fire energy. This happily fixed the problem.

Many Feng Shui issues are not as simply fixed! One technique that uses Nine Star Ki is called the Chi Men Tun Chia school which uses the 9 palaces of the Lo Shu. This technique is first described on pages 78- 83 of the book Flying Star Feng Shui; the order of placement of the stars in the Lo Shu is described in Chapter 9. The familiar Lo Shu is set up and superimposed on your home; next, you calculate the positions of the stars NOT for the year, but for a 20 year period, called the period star. We are entering period 8, which has the 8 white star as its ruling star. The period star used for your house is from the period in which it was built. Each palace also has a Mountain star and a Water star - the combination of the three together give the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the room.

To choose a bedroom, for example, that is best for YOU personally, it is important to choose a location that blends well with your Nine Star Ki numbers. For instance, if you are a number 3 bright green tree star, a bedroom with 1 white water star would be auspicious as water nourishes wood, but one with the 7 metal star would be inauspicious as metal cuts wood.

In general, the rooms that contain the earth stars 2 and 5 are inauspicious. The combination is double trouble, and can spell serious health issues or financial issues if occupied a lot. It is better to use these rooms as closets! If any of these rooms are bathrooms, this is lucky as the negative energy goes down the drain.

The 9 purple fire star is an augmenting star - it adds to the energy of any star it combines with. This is great if another auspicious star is in the room, but a problem if the star is a 2 or 5. The Mountain star governs health, and the Water star, wealth. The 8 star is a good omen of wealth, and is a great star for an office or bedroom.

The analysis of the three stars in each room is quite a complex study, but provides a much more "real" Feng Shui analysis, especially when combined with the individual Nine Star Ki numbers of the occupants to personalize it.
