(六沖)and the three combinations (三合)• You should also review the five combinations
(五合)of the stems.
This class teaches practical information on both Yin House and Yang House Feng Shui
and includes information on:
> Choosing an appropriate sitting/facing based on the directions that are usable in a
particular year.
> Even though a house or grave may have a good feng shui chart, building it
during certain years may bring good or bad feedback for a short period of
time.
> Calculating the timing for marking the ground for a new building based on its
sitting/facing.
> Calculating the timing for remodeling or additions based on their direction in the
house.
> A technique called 'pushing the wealth’: to increase wealth based on the
current year.
> A technique called 'pushing the people’: to increase the number of occupants by
marriage or birth.
> To do these calculations, we need to learn the following:
〇 The nayin sixty jiazi and the five elements.
〇 The twelve transports (chang sheng).
For yang house, the feng shui affects the construction workers as well as those who live
in the house. Therefore, moving in after completing all the construction and landscaping
protects the owners, but not the workers.
Don’t move into a house where someone has died a violent death (murder, suicide,
accident - including during construction); sometimes the effects linger. Sometimes, this
information is not known before the purchase. In that case, it must be the owner’s destiny
to purchase a house where someone has died.
Even if the owners do not care about the construction workers, they should care about
worker safety, as a death by accident can bring feng shui problems later. For example,
blood going into the earth leaves a bad type of qi there. (Don’t build on a land that
previously held a slaughterhouse or something of that sort. The only way to clean this
land is by placing dry grass on it and burning it for 3 days! But after fire, it is considered
4
wang land’ according to the old books.)
In addition, even a non-fatal accident implies that there is a problem with the feng shui or
the timing of the construction. Whatever aspect is not harmonious can affect the
occupants after they move in.
Accidents can be caused by problems in the feng shui chart. For example, 6-7 means
injury by metal. 3-5 can mean an explosion.
陽宅以坐爲主.
In yang house feng shui,the sitting governs.
It is a basic principle of yin-yang theory that yin and yang are inseparable and depend on
each other. The sitting is the yin side of a house (quiet, closed, heavy).
The residents of a yang house go out in the daytime and are active. They need a refuge
where they can return, a place of safety and rest to balance the yang activity of life. This
is why the sitting governs yang house.
When applying a xuankong feng shui chart for yang house, we use the nine- palace
grid.
A square shape is the symbol of the earth (round symbolizes heaven). Most houses are
built with 90° angles. Qi fills a house and takes on its shape just like water takes on the
shape of its container. Once the roof is placed on top and the qi is captured in a house, the
building is plugged into the earth. The qi is guided by the walls in the house and is more
closely related to earth qi (square) than heaven qi (round).
陰宅以向爲重.
In yin house feng shui, the facing has the weight.
The marker is like an antenna to receive the qi. The facing is based on the marker,
not the position of the body. There are different burial customs in different places with
regards to the marker and the position of the body. If the marker is flat to the ground, as it
often is today, take sitting and facing by the big environment (upward slope behind, open
space in front, etc.).
The facing is considered more important in yin house feng shui, as yin needs the
warmth and movement of yang to activate it. Otherwise, a grave-site is too inert.
When applying a xuankong feng shui chart for yin house, we use pie slices.
A grave is not enclosed like a yang house. There are no walls to contain and shape the qi.
There is no roof to prevent free interaction with the qi of heaven. Heaven is said to be
round, which means that the qi is free in every direction. Hence, the pie slices are
appropriate.
Wu
The oppositions are quite important in Day Selection. Both Day Selection Classes (1
and 2) spend a lot of time discussing oppositions. We will restate some rules for
construction here, but if you want to understand it at a deeper level, please refer to those
classes.
The tradition in China is that if someone’s birth year branch is in conflict with the current
year, they should not attend burials, or if they do, they must turn their back to the open
grave as the body is being lowered. They are especially vulnerable to this type of earth qi.
In addition:
• Don’t disturb the taisui or year breaker when digging in the yard. (The taisui is the
direction associated with the branch of the current year, and the year breaker is the
opposite direction.)
• Don’t disturb direction of the annual or monthly 5.
• Don’t do construction or renovation when the annual or monthly 5 is in the center
or in the sitting for yang house (or facing for yin house).
• Don’t disturb the three sha.
All of these apply, not just for groundbreaking, but for the whole period of time when
construction or remodeling is being done. Construction that was begun earlier needs to be
finished by the time these stars arrive.
When a bad day is selected, the effects usually last for a short time. It may result in one
bad event and then the problem is past.
So we can use any si, wu, wei, shen, you, or xu day that month. June 5th, a shen
day, is the first available day to begin construction.
Directions:
1. Where is the annual 5?
2. Where is the monthly 5?
3. Where is the year breaker?
5. Where is the month breaker?
Timing:
6. Does the month oppose the year?
7. What is the owner’s consumer?
8. What is the house’s consumer?
9. What is the year breaker?
10. What is the month breaker?
12. What is the first day we could begin construction on this house?
a. April 5th yi you b. April 6th bing xu c. April 7th ding hai
d. April 8th wu zi e. April 9th ji chou f. April 10th geng yin
Directions:
1. Where is the annual 5? southwest
2. Where is the monthly 5? north shen
3. Where is the year breaker? (q)
5. Where is the month breaker? xu (u)
Timing:
6. Does the month oppose the year? no
7. What is the
owner’s consumer? xu
8. What is
the house’s consumer? you
9. What is the year breaker? shen
10. What is the month breaker? xu
11. On which days can we begin construction? List the branches: zi, chou, yin,
mao, chen, si, wu, wei, or hai.
(If you know the three sha, also eliminate zi, chou, si, wu, wei, and hai.)
12. What is the first day we could begin construction on this house?
a. April 5th yi you b. April 6th bing xu c. April 7th ding hai
d. April 8th wu zi e. April 9th ji chou f. April 10th geng yin
If you know the three sha, the answer is f. April 10th geng yin.
If you don’t know the three sha, the answer is c. April 7th ding hai.
納 iVa means to take or accommodate.音 Kw is a sound or tone. (The nayin are also discussed in the
Partner Selection Class.) The sixty nayin are listed in the following table:
The concept of nayin is very profound, although it is not well known. It has many
applications. The nayin are especially important in yin house feng shui.
• Either jiazi or yichou are metal in the sea. Seawater corrodes metal, so this metal is
relatively weak.
• Either jiawu or yiwei are metal in sand. Sand is part of earth, which supports
metal.
• Either renshen or guiyou are metal of the sworcTs edge. This is metal as a
weapon, aggressive and sharp.
• Either gengxu or xinhai are metal of hairpins and bracelets. This is a delicate and
elegant use of metal.
• Either gengchen or xinsi are metal of white wax. Something made of wax and
painted to look like metal may look hard on the outside but easily melts.
• Either renyin or guimao are metal of gold foil. This is bright, reflective, and
decorative, but not very strong.
You can see the characteristics of each type of metal are different. Please use your
common sense and imagination to understand the other elements in a similar fashion.
These numbers come from an old memorization poem. Note that in the above table, the
stems with the same value are in the relationship called the five combinations.
The branches that have the same value are in the relationship called the six
oppositions.
a. Each nayin group is shared by two stem-branch combinations which are adjacent in
the cycle of sixty, for example: jia zi and yi chou.
b. Add up the values of the two stems and the two branches in the group.
c. Divide the sum by 5, and take the remainder. (Take a remainder of 0 as 5.)
Example:
Jia zi and yi chou are combinations 1 and 2 in the cycle of sixty.
Jia is 9, zi is 9, yi is 8, chou is 8. 9+9+8+8=34.
34/5 = 6 with a remainder of 4.
4 corresponds to metal.
So the nayin for jia zi and yi chou is metal.
1. The current year, month, or day nayin is the same element as or produces your
birth year nayin element. This is considered good.
2. The current year, month, or day nayin reduces your birth year nayin element,
or your birth year nayin element dominates the current year. In this case you
may need to spend some time and money to take care of the house. The house
will be a burden to you.
3. The current year, month, or day nayin element dominates your birth year
nayin element. This is the worst condition. Beginning construction should be
avoided.
But remember, there is rarely a perfect day. Don’t be too fussy. The more you know
about day selection, the fewer days look good! There is a saying: the perfect can be the
enemy of the good. If you wait for perfection, you may never be able to start. There is
also a Chinese saying that 8 or 9 out of 10 is not what you want. Accept reality and
realize that something doesn’t have to be perfect to be adequate.
Remedy:
If the current year nayin element dominates your birth year nayin element, you can
remedy it through day selection, using the five combinations.
If you cannot wait for the month, you can use the day or hour, but this is not as strong.
The year is close to the month, but far away from the day and time. That is why you
need to use the month stem is better to do this.
Year Month Day Hour
Do you see how the year is close to the month but far away from the day and hour?
Examples:
1. An owner was born in 1962, a ren yin year, so he has a metal nayin.
He wants to build a house in 1995, an yi hai year with a fire nayin.
The fire of 1995’s nayin dominates the owner’s birth year metal nayin.
Yi is the stem for 1995.
It combines with geng according to the five combinations.
In 1995, the third month is a geng chen month.
During that month, the yi withdraws from hai and focuses on geng instead.
This breaks apart the yi hai fire nayin.
Using the five combinations changes the chemistry. However, using the three
combinations does not work in this context.
2. Ms L. wants to build a house this year. She was born in 1971. What is the stem
and branch of the year and what is the nay in element? What is the special nay in
characteristic of that year?
2. Ms L. wants to build a house this year. She was born in 1971. What is the stem and
branch of the year and what is the nay in element? What is the special nay in
characteristic of that year?
Answer: 1971 is a xin hai year, with a metal nayin, metal of hairpins and bracelets.
Answer: It is not favorable. The fire nayin year dominates the metal nayin person.
When we discussed the 太歲 taisui or ‘great year’ in other classes, we only paid attention
to the current year branch. Actually, the taisui consists of the current year stem and
branch. For example, the taisui for 2006 is bing xu because 2006 is a bing xu year.
This personal year sha can also be applied for other things: gambling, surgery, etc.
Builders need not worry about their own personal year sha, but they are affected by the
annual 5, the three sha, etc.
Example: Mr. A, born in 1930, a geng wu year wants to renovate his home in 1985, an yi
chou year.
> Yi chou, the current year taisui, is placed in the center, in the 1st place.
> The next stem-branch combination (bing yin) goes in the northwest, the 2nd place.
> It then flies to ding mao in the 3rd place, east.
> On to wu chen in the northeast (4th place).
> Next, ji si in the south, the 5th place.
> Finally, we arrive at the owner’s birth year, geng wu, in the north (6th place).
> Everything that comes after isn’t important, now that we know the north is the
personal year sha for the owner in 1985. He should not do construction in the north
that year.
Please note that south is always at the top unless otherwise noted.
We flow from yi chou, the current year in the center, and eventually wind up with geng
chen in the southwest. So the southwest is Mrs. A’s personal year sha and construction in
that direction is bad for her in 1985.
Let^ say he wants to begin construction on July 26th, 1985, a bing yin day. Now we put
bing yin in the center and flow it one time around, adding in the nayin:
Here the nayins in the north are both coincidentally earth element. This is fairly
harmonious, so construction can begin on an yi chou day (although the north is still Mr.
A’s personal year sha).
The nayin of the day stem and branch that arrives in the north (wu chen wood) dominates
the earth nayin of geng wu (Mr. A?s birth year). If construction begins that day, bad
things may happen to Mr. A within 30 days. He should wait for a better day.
How bad is it? Look at the description of that nayin. Wu chen is wood of the big forest
and would cause a harsh domination (and therefore big problems) to geng wu earth on the
side of the road, small earth. If it were ren wu which has wood from a willow tree, that
would be a little milder than wood of the big forest.
2. What is the direction of this person’s personal year sha? What does it mean?
3. Can this person begin renovations on August 25th, 2007? If not, how bad is the
problem, based on the description of the nayin?
2. What is the direction of this person’s personal year sha? What does it mean?
Answer: This date is not very good because the nayin element that arrives in the same
palace as the birth year nayin is dominated by it. Ding you is fire on the bottom of a
mountain. However, this is not as bad as if it dominates the birth year. Gui si is water
constantly flowing.
4. Can this person begin renovations on July 2nd, 2007? If not, how bad is the
problem, based on the description of the nayin?
Answer: This date is good because the metal nayin in the same palace as the birth
year produces the water nayin of the birth year.
The twelve transports are placed in order in a twelve palace grid according to the
branches.
This placement of the twelve transports is based on the five elements as follows:
Below, we will explain the method and application of the twelve transports for this class.
But before we do, note that chang sheng is always located in one of the four corners. The
four corners represent a new start, a change of direction. All (except earth element) are in
the corner before their own element appears. For example, the metal element places chang
sheng in si, which is the corner before shen, metal. Lin guan (arrive at official position)
goes in this corner. Di wang will also land in the element you used to find chang sheng, in
one of the four main directions (zi, mao, wu, or you). So with metal, chang sheng is
located in si and di wang is located in you, the west, the metal direction. This makes sense
as metal is most prosperous, most wang, in the west.
In construction, when determining exactly where to make the walls of a building, the
builders often use a string that is permeated with chalk dust. They lay the string out
tightly along the length of the future wall. Then the string is lifted up and allowed to snap
down on the ground. It leaves a line of chalk, so the builders can see where to dig the
foundation. This is called "opening the mountain and establishing the facing (開山立向
kail shanl li4 xiang4).’’ The ‘mountain’ refers to the sitting side.
(This picture shows marking a chalk line on a wall. This is not the same as doing it on the
ground to determine where the walls go, but I couldn’t find a picture of that.)
We can pick a special day to open the mountain and establish the facing, in order to bring
prosperity or other characteristics to the building.
To choose the day to make the chalk line to mark where the walls of the house will go:
1. Place the taisui of the year the construction will begin (current year stem and
branch) in the center of a nine-palace grid.
2. Flow the stem-branch combinations one time around, adding the nayin
elements.
3. Find the sitting direction of the house to be built. Note the nayin element in the
sitting direction.
4. Find the branch for chang sheng based on the element of the sitting direction.
5. Choose a month and/or day with the same branch to mark the chalk line.
6. As with all things related to construction, you must avoid breakers, consumers,
etc.
What are the benefits of this? If you use a chang sheng day, the home will have a qi
that is long lasting and growing. The house will last a long time. Children can grow up
and money can accumulate here. This is a building you intend to stay in for a long time.
Sometimes you want something else from a building. In that case, you can select one of
the other transports. For example:
Since it is a north-sitting house, the earth nayin means the chang sheng falls in the
shen palace. But we want mu yu in order to bring peach blossom qi.
We can see in the diagram that mu yu coincides with the you palace. Therefore, we
should mark the lines for this north-sitting house on a you day or month in 2007 (as
long as it avoids breakers, consumers, sha, etc.).
But there may be a side affect. Once she finds her mate, the house will still have peach
blossom qi, which can cause problems in her relationship.
氺氺氺
Note that this is based on the nayin of the year’s stem and branch, not on the sitting
direction of the building.
Example:
2003: a gui wei year.
Gui wei has a wood nayin.
Mu is in wei.
Guandai is in chou.
So use a wei month and a chou day to restart. If you get out your Ten-
Thousand Year Calendar, you find this could be July 15th or July 27th of 2003.
This is one time you want to use the month breaker. In very special circumstances, you
can use it to break through obstruction.
2. You find out this same client has a scheme (but legal and ethical) to make a lot of
money. He wants to do this project and then sell it quickly so he can retire. He will not
stay here long. What type of day would you pick for him instead of changsheng, and
what dates in April 2011 would that be?
Answer: A di wang day stirs up money luck, but won’t last so long. The fact that it is
short-lived doesn’t matter in this case, as the client will not be there long.
3. Mr. M. (a different client) started construction on a house a year and a half ago.
Problem after problem has arisen. The first contractor did shoddy work. He was fired and
they had to start over again. The second contractor was doing good work, but the city
suddenly revoked the building permit for no reason. After some months, that was fixed,
but then the weather was too bad for construction for a month. Because of the delays, Mr.
M. had money problems and could not start up. He is wondering how to break through this
period of difficulty to finish the house. It is currently 2025. What do you suggest to break
through?
Answer: We can pick a mu month and a guan dai day to break through obstruction. 2025
is an yi si year. The nayin element for yi si is fire. Fire places changsheng in yin. Mu is in
the xu palace. Guan dai is in chen. So we find the xu (mu) month and the chen (guan dai)
day to restart construction. In 2025, this is the month that begins October 8th and ends
November 6th. Chen days are October 14 and 26. He should restart construction on one of
these days.
2. Add enhancements according to the element: metal to the 1 white, earth to the 6 white,
and fire to the 8 white.
> If the enhancement is moving, it is stronger.
> You cannot do this if the enhancing element conflicts with the feng shui of that
area.
> If one of the numbers is in the center, place the remedy all around the house,
wherever it won’t cause any harm.
4. This should bring in more money or income. Results should come within about 30
days.
Example 1: A ren zi person would use hai as their prosperity day. However, they should
not use it in a si year or month, as si and hai oppose each other.
Example 2: A geng yin person would use shen as their prosperity day. However, he cannot
really benefit from it, as yin and shen oppose each other. He has the bad luck to be born in
a year that opposes his prosperity day.
Example 3: 2003 is a gui wei year. 6 white is in the center. The annual stars are as
follows:
> 1white is in the south. We add metal to enhance it, as long as metal is okay with
the other stars in that palace.
> 8white is in the west. We add fire or the red color to enhance it, as long as fire
will not cause any harm in that section.
> 6white is in the center. The center is the potential. It doesn’t have any of its own
space, but it does govern the house as a whole. We enhance it by adding earth
wherever it won’t cause harm. We can put it in the northeast with the annual 9 purple
and in the northwest with the annual 7 red, as long as earth doesn’t conflict with the
other stars in those sections.
If this house belongs to a gui mao person, we place these remedies on a zi day. This is
their prosperity day. There is no conflict with the current wei year or with their birth year.
But it cannot be done in the wu month, as that would conflict with the zi day.
1. Use the annual 8 white (for more children) and 9 purple (for marriage, promotion,
receiving an honor, and celebration). You can also use the mountain and water stars,
instead of the annual stars, but use the mountain star (the people side). At this time, 8
white is especially strong as it is wang, and 9 purple is growing in strength as we approach
period 9.
Master Sang says that if you only use the 8 white when looking for a spouse, the person
you find may live with you, but not marry you. But if you overdo the 9 purple, it is too
much fire and may burn you or make you a little crazy.
2. Add enhancements: fire to the 8 white and wood or wood and a red lamp to 9
purple.
> You cannot do this if the enhancing element conflicts with the feng shui of that area.
If you do, you will have side-effects.
> If one of the numbers is in the center, place the remedy all around the house,
wherever it won’t cause any harm.
> If this technique is to increase rentals in an apartment building or hotel, use the 8
white and 9 purple for the whole building, not the unit.
4. This should increase the number of people in the house. Results should come
within 30 days.
You will need to look up the month and day in a Ten-Thousand Year Calendar. For
your convenience, the hour chart is repeated here. Remember to adjust for daylight
savings time, if in use when you want to place remedies.
Before we add these remedies, we check to be sure they will not cause harm with the
stars that reside in these palaces. Now we need to check for the appropriate date and
time.
Example 1: Mr. X is lonely and wants to find a wife quickly. You check the feng shui
in his house and the remedies for 2003 will not cause any harm.
Mr. X was born in 1963, a gui year. Gui is water element. The chang sheng for
water is shen, so we need shen zi chen for the month, day, and hour. Since 2003 is a wei
year, shen, zi, and chen do not conflict.
Chen is the first month in 2003 that is available. Now we need to look for a shen or zi
day.
> Shen days in this chen month are April 5, 17, and 19. He needs to pick the zi hour (11
pm the night before - 1 am on that morning) to place the remedy on any of these
days. If he is a night owl, why not?
> Zi days are April 9,21, and May 3. He needs to pick the shen hour ( 3 - 5 pm) to place
the remedy on any of these days.
So at the chosen time and date, he needs to place fire in the west and wood or fire in the
northeast.
So we need a si month and a you day or a you month and a si day. In either case, we
will take a chou hour.
The si month comes up first, so we will look up you branch days in the si month of
2003. These are May 12, May 24, and June 5. A chou hour completes the three
combinations. This is 1-3 am. Quite early, but if Mrs. Y feels strongly about it, she will
place the remedies at that time.
1. Client J. is in a money crunch. He was born in 1970. A big bill is due in two weeks, and
he doesn’t know how he will pay for it. Figure out how he can ‘push the wealth.’ What
remedies go in what areas? When should the remedies be placed?
2. Client K. is trying to have a baby. She was born in 1967 and her husband was born in
1966. She wants you to help with fengshui. You decide to try 'pushing the people/ What
remedies go in what areas? When should the remedies be placed? It is currently the first
week of 2007 in the Chinese calendar, the beginning of February.
What is the stem and branch for the year? Ding hai.
1. Client J. is in a money crunch. He was born in 1970. A big bill is due in two weeks, and
he doesn’t know how he will pay for it. Figure out how he can ‘push the wealth.’ What
remedies go in what areas? When should the remedies be placed?
Answer: Client J. needs to:
Put metal in the southeast to enhance the 1 white.
Put earth in the south to enhance the 6 white.
Put fire in the southwest to enhance the 8 white.
If there are any conflicts with other stars in these areas, you may not be able to do it.
1970 was a geng xu year. Since Client J. was born in a geng year, his prosperity day is
shen. These remedies need to be placed on a shen day. However, a shen day cannot be
used in a yin month. If it is currently a yin month, Client J. is out of luck.
Client K. was born in 1967, a ding wei year. We do not need to work with her husband’s
birth year. Ding is a fire stem. The chang sheng of fire is in yin. The three combinations
that include yin are yin wu xu. We need to find a month, day, and hour that is a
combination of yin wu xu.
We have just started the yin month, since we are in the beginning of February. Wu
days in the yin month of 2007 are: February 5,17, and March 1. The remedies must be
placed in the xu time (7-9 pm).

Xu days in the yin month of 2007 are: February 9,21, and March 5. The remedies
must be placed in the wu time (11 am - 1 pm).
