Geomancy and Astrology


Feng Shui (Chinese Geomancy)

Feng Shui (Pronounced “Feng Shway” or “Fung Shui” or Fung Shuway,” depending if you are Mandarin, Cantonese, or American) is the study of energy of  Heaven and Earth effecting toward humans via the wind and water; to see how they can affect the lives of people during specific time. To achieve the best results, Feng Shui knowledge should be applied to house planning, city planning, architecture, interior decoration and landscaping, etc.

The Chinese word consists of two characters, meaning "wind and water." It is a form of science that is concerned with the layout of the terrain and architecture, and its influences on human life.

Feng Shui is the art of placing buildings and objects in relation to energy flows, to heighten positive energies and minimize the negative ones.  It is based on the interaction of Yin and Yang, the female and male forces along with Chinese astrology and the five elements.

The purpose of Feng Shui is to enable you to organize your home so that the Ch'i energy, the all-pervading life force, is accentuated by the precise positioning of your house, furniture, decorations and other objects.

The parallel between the human body and landscape is an old metaphor in Chinese history. The human body has channels, also called meridians, that transport the vital energy necessary for the healthy functioning of the body. On the ground, these channels are the rivers and canals, along which the energy necessary for happiness and good luck travels. The obstruction of the pathways causes disease in the body and disaster in the house.

Constellation charts from a Fengshui compass Fengshui thinks in terms of mountains and rivers. The perfect position is to have a mountain behind you a river flowing towards the right hand side in front of you. If you live in a city, the rivers are streets and avenues, while the mountains are high buildings. If a high building is built right in front of your house, it will block the flow of energy and prevent good luck from entering your house. However, there is no need to move to a new place because there are solutions. In fact, Fengshui is all about solutions. You can hang up mirrors, plant trees, strategically position pieces of furniture to aid the flow of qi in the house.

You might call it superstition but in Chinese culture Fengshui is an existing phenomenon to this very day. Companies would often spend extra millions of dollars just to ensure that the Fengshui is right for their new headquarters, rather than going with the cheaper but fengshui-wise inauspicious solution. And, after all, many Western hotels skip the thirteenth floor too.

Wind

More than 6000 year, Many Taoist have studied that when there is a blowing wind, hot/cold wind can give bad effect our health and mind. In the other way around; Normal wind can give freshness and new energy that brings a good heath.

Wind that blow heavily can make a person become sick, cold, lose balance. A place that have heavy blowing wind is definitely not a good place to live.

For example, A house that face along the road is considered to be bad in Fengshui. From medical aspect, this condition could bring sickness to the household because the germs and bacteria that blows directly and strongly toward the front door.

With Fengshui, we can study to determine whether or not a certain place is good to buy. And if you already own a bad place and kind of stuck with it, There are still many things can be used such as barrier (building a wall), planting some trees in certain location, changing the front door direction, and others. So that it can decrease the effect of blowing wind.


Water

Flowing Water create a friction which could create certain electromagnetic field that absorb energy/qi. Desiging a front door of a house that face toward water, we can get more energy, and this is a very important aspect in Fengshui. On the contrarily, Water that flows too strong(such as near waterfall) could bring a bad effect to our health.

Another example is having a water pipe right under the bedroom is considered to be bad in Fengshui. From the western medical point of view, this condition could cause dampness from the water toward the bed. As a result, it will bring rheumatic or some other disease.

 

Chinese Astrology

The life of a person depends on the energy at the moment of birth.
Therefore; It is very important to understand that Chinese astrology is not Calculation of certain person fate, instead, It is a calculation of the nature and energy that effect certain person at the moment of birth.
A good analysis of the energy combination at the moment of birth to see how the changing energy throughout his life will help him to achieve the best according to his potential.

The
two main schools of Chinese Astrology :
1. Ba Zi :
Four Pillars of Destiny
2. Zi Wei Dou Shu.
3. Gua Mia. Life reading based on many aspect such as Face, Moles, Birthmark, etc.
4. Cap Ji Shio.<12 animal zodiac> Common Fukkienese Taoist astrology calculation based
    on the Chinese Zodiac.



Conclusion

Both Chinese astrology and geomancy are based on Taoist's principle.
For example:
1. Relation of Yin and Yang(Positive and Negative)
2. Relation of 5 elements(Wood,metal,soil,water,fire)
3. Eight trigrams(Ba Gua)
4. Rotation of Jupiter(every 20 years)
5. 10 heavenly stem and 12 branches.
6. etc.
