Our life is not predestined. We determine our own life and make our own path with our daily thoughts, feelings and words. Yet most people are so deeply impressed with what they don’t want through fears, doubts, and limited thinking, that they unknowingly end up feeling victimized, and creating the very things they want to avoid. There is a skill to breaking the old patterns and reaching higher levels of fulfillment.

As Feng Shui is based upon natural laws, the science and mathematics of Earth and Heaven need to be parallel in our Feng Shui…and that aspect is known as the Flying Stars.

As with other aspects in Feng Shui, Heaven Energy influences behavior and health as well as all areas of good or bad luck. Traditionally known as San Yuan, the Flying Stars or Heaven Energy, like all Chi (energy) and everything in nature, the energy is in constant movement.

As consistent as the changing seasons, the cycle of night and day, or the tides flowing in and out, the Flying Stars are always changing.

The Flying Stars identify where all positive and/or negative life-effecting Heaven Energy are located according to mathematical formulas. They influence our good or bad prosperity, success, relationships, and life conditions. When we learn to identify them,we are be able to maximize the positive effects as well as minimize their detrimental potential.

For an easy analogy, let’s describe the Flying Stars as house astrology. The time that your home was built determines its energetic qualities exactly in the same way that Heaven Energy and the astrological alignment of the planets determined the character of our personality and destiny.

Each directional sector of the BaGua has a specific energetic Flying Star imprint that will always create a veil of influence based upon what room it is in as well as what stars “live there.”

The science of Feng Shui is consistent–which is what makes Feng Shui results consistent!

Four Pillars of Destiny is calculated using  the Chinese Solar Year. It doesn’t start on January 1st. It stars anywhere from February 4th to the 5th.

I.e. f you were born in  early January  1951  you may need to calculate your chart from the year 1950.
The Five Types of Energies in their Yin and Yang expressions are called “The Ten Heavenly Stems” and the 12 Animals are called “The Twelve Earthly Branches”. Their energies interact in such specific ways that a certain chemistry is created,  just like we do in groups of people or families.

These energies can  combine in a harmonious way, clash, strengthen, weaken, assist, or control.
The most important Pillar is the Day Pillar. The stem (top) is the Day Master. That is You, your Spirit. The branch (bottom) is the marriage palace. It will tell  of the quality of your marriage.
The Month Pillar is called the Parents Palace. It is where we can see the relationship between us and our parents. Our childhood can be reflected in this pillar and there will be an indication of the type of family in which we grew up.
The Hour Pillar is called the Children Palace. reflecting on the relationship between us and our children. This pillar also tells us  about  old age, or the third segment of one’s life.
The Year Pillar is called the Grandparents Palace. It represents the relationship between you and your grandparents. It can also reflect on your family background and society. This can show subtle impacts on a person’s achievement.
Of course there is much, much more to Ba Zi, but this just to give you a little flavor of some basic understanding of what the pillars represent.
May your Destiny be filled with great Love, Joy, Health, and Abundance.

1. Feng Shui is just one of the five influences in our lives. The others are: Luck,
Fate, Good Deeds and Self Development.

2.  Because we have entered the 20-year Period Eight, when choosing anything with numbers, such as business accounts, phone numbers, license numbers, street addresses…choose one of the lucky numbers or their combination: 8, 9,1, or 6.

3.  Yin/Yang is also called ‘Tai Chi’ or “Ultimate Energy”, representing hard/soft, light/dark, male/female…They are the two sides of a whole: not opposites.

4.  Colors: Select flooring colors so that the floor appears darkest, the colors of walls are lighter and finally the ceiling color is lightest: just as in Nature: ground color darkest, trees and mountains lighter, and the sky is the lightest.

5. Forgiveness:  Forgive others, forgive yourself. There is great power in Forgiveness: it is where love and healing can happen thus guilt and judgment will vanish.
