Mirrors can be used as feng shui remedies. Placing mirrors in the walls of the missing corners can fix the missing corners and balance the uncompleted shape. Make sure not let the mirrors face to the door, hallway, stairs or toilets. Mirrors also can be wrapped around the columns to block the “Sha Chi” generated from the columns.

Once number reach to number 9, the next number changes to number 1.

For next year 2013 year of the snake, we put number 5 in the center, then follow the above rule and put the rest 8 numbers in the rest of 8 grids. The chart of flying star 2013 year of the snake is as the picture shown on the left.

Then put the rest of the 8 numbers in those 8 grids by the order as the yearly flying stars.

For the next coming month, the number in the center number is decreased by 1. When the number reach number 1, the next number is number 9.

For example, since this year 2012 is the year of the dragon, we put number 5 in the center for the first lunar month. Then follow the above rule to put the rest 8 numbers in different grid. For second lunar number, we put number 4 in the center and put the other 8 numbers in order by the same rule. Followings are the 12 monthly flying stars for 2012.

What are the meanings of combination of the Yearly Flying Star and Monthly Flying Stars?
There will be 2 flying stars in each location – one represents year flying star and the another stands for month flying star. The yearly flying star in one location doesn’t change during that year. But the monthly flying star changes monthly in that specific location.

If one location comes with two good flying stars together, it will be very good in that location for that month. On the another hand, it will be very bad if two bad flying stars come together. Followings are some meanings of combination 2 flying stars:

Flying stars #3 and #2 together, it will be more argument
Flying stars #5 and #2 together, more sickness will happen
Flying stars #3 and #7 together, be careful injury
Flying stars #6 and #7 together, lawsuits and robbery will happen, such as getting ticket
Flying stars #7 and #9 together or Flying stars #7 and #2 together, be careful fire
Flying stars #4 and #1 together, Flying stars #1 and #6 together, career promotes or good things happens
Flying stars #6 and #8 together, be good for wealth
Flying stars #8 and #9 together, be good for marriage luck

The flying stars affect the main door the most. Second they affect bed room, office, eating table and kitchen. Therefore we usually focus our main door and check what two flying stars are during some specific time. First we need to know where the main door locates, then go to the yearly flying star map to find out the year flying star in that location, next go to the monthly flying star map to find out the month flying star for that time and that location.

2012 Flying Stars We take 2012 flying star as example shown as the map on the left.

Example 1: Main door is in SE location and time is from Feb. 5, 2012 to Mar. 6, 2012. From the yearly flying star, we know the year flying star is flying star #5 and the monthly flying star is #4 from map 1. If main door is in South instead, there will be flying star #1 and #9 instead.

Example 2: Main door is in SE location and time is from Apr. 5, 2012 to May 6, 2012. The yearly flying star will be same as #5 and monthly star will change to #2 (from Map 3). If the main door in South location, there will be flying star #1 and #7.

From the meanings of combination, we know #5 and #2 will cause sickness. Therefore people whose main door in SE will easily get sick from Apr. 5, 2012 – May 6, 2012. By the same reason, people whose main door is in North will easily get sick from Jul. 7, 2012 – Aug. 8, 2012.

Using Rooster to Appease 2012 Tai Sui

Filed under: Articles & Tips — Tags: 2012 Tai Sui, Chinese Horoscope Allies, Chinese Zodiac, rooster charms, rooster pendant, Rooster Statue, secret friends — admin @ 8:00 pm

brass rooster

2012 is the year of the dragon. Since rooster is the secret friend of the dragon, wearing rooster pendant, rooster charm or displaying rooster statue is good for this year – Rooster can appease to the 2012 Tai Sui. This is the reason that a lot of feng shui consultants recommend people to have the rooster with them. However we need to pay attention what zodiac sign you are.

If you are the Chinese zodiac sign sign rabbit, you need to display one more snake statue or snake pendant besides rooster. Since rooster is against rabbit, rooster will be against to you if you display one rooster statue or wearing rooster pendant only. The best solution to it is finding one more Chinese zodiac to ally with the rooster. Once they are allied, rooster will be not against to rabbit.

Rooster, snake and Ox will be allied together. However Ox is side affected by Tai Sui too. Therefore we just choose snake to ally the rooster instead of both. See Chinese Horoscope Allies and Secret Friend for more details of Chinese zodiac allied.

If you are the Chinese zodiac sign Rat, Dragon or Monkey, make sure the position of the rooster will be correct. Since golden rooster can activate Tao Hua Luck for the above people, displaying golden rooster in the west position of your house will bring third party if you are married. Therefore void rooster in west position.

You can use our Chinese Zodiac Calculating Tool to find out what Chinese zodiac sign you are in you are not sure. In addition, We have rooster statues, rooster pendants, rooster charms or other zodiac at Chinese Zodiac.

Pay Attention to SouthEast and North

Filed under: Articles & Tips — Tags: flying star, Tai Sui — admin @ 4:52 am

In 2012 year of the dragon, we need to specially pay attention to two locations: SouthEast and North since the most deadly fictitious stars #5 and #2 are in these two locations. Especially for those people whose main doors are located in these two locations.

Both flying star #5 and #2, which brings all kinds of bad luck, disasters, wealth loss and sickness, belongs to Earth element. Therefore those colors such as red, yellow or brown, etc, which can increase Earth element, are not recommended to those two locations (SE and N). The recommended colors for these locations are gold or white. Besides colors can affect the flying star, shapes of the objects affect the flying star too. If you have big sharp point object, triangle objects or Square shaped objects in those locations, you need to move those objects away. Recommended shapes of object for those locations are round, oval or arch-shaped objects.

In addition, SE in original Bagua also represents the eldest daughter, widow, female between ages 30 to 45 years old. Therefore, those people (the eldest daughter, widow, female between ages 30 to 45 years old) will be affected seriously by this star and are better not to live in SE. On the other hand, North in original Bagua represents second son or the male between 15 and 30 years old. Therefore those people (second son or the male between 15 and 30 years old) will be affected seriously by this star and are better not to live in North.

Besides we need to pay attention the color, shapes and who live in those two locations, we also need to display one Five-element pagoda, such as 5 Element Pagoda with Tree of Life in SE and one wu lou, such as Metal Wu Lou in North to lower down the effects of those bad energies. Furthermore, Tai Sui is in SE too, one pi yao, Pi Yao is very recommended in this location to appease the Tai Sui.

Tai Sui (太岁) is also known as Grand Duke Jupiter who is in charge of people’s fortune and world’s affairs. Tai Sui is the star directly opposite to Jupiter. In feng shui and Taoism, Tai Sui influences the Chinese Zodiac and fortune.

In Taoism, there are 10 Heaven Branches and 12 Earth Branches resulting in a 60 year cycle. Tai Sui takes tun to be in charge for a particular year. Because most of the Tai Sui have military background, they are also well known as military Generals. Therefore, the feature of the Tai sui and the weapon in each of the Generals signify what year it is under that General. For instance, if the Tai Sui is holding a pen in that year, it means that political stirring in that year. On the another hand, if the Tai Sui is holding a sword, it means to work hard and better in that year.

The position of Tai Sui changes annually and it affect Chinese Zodiac too.
