I am glad Howard has answered your question pertaining to the building of your new house in the beautiful island.
Normally when you are facing SE1, your door will be opened in SE1 as well.
According to Liufa feng shui, it is perfectly alright if you open your door in SE1 during period 9 which will start from 2017.
Feng Shui is about how we align ourselves with the nature, the planets and their magnetic field.
Lao Tze’s Dao De Jing talked about the world from nature, nature from the way(道法自然)， emphasizing the word nature. Nature means it is not your desire but you have to conform with the nature, with the way.
Yin Fu Jing(陰符經) talked about “observe the way of Heaven, and hold to Heaven’s action. That’s all we should do”. Observe the way of Heaven, meaning you have to align with the planets and their magnetic field.
Why cann’t we open SE1 door during period 8 ? It is because you will draw the Qi or your wealth out from the house. But in period 9, you can open the SE1 door because the good Qi will be drawn from outside to inside the house.
Period 9 will start from 2017. Your house will be prosperous for 24 years from 2017.
Maybe it is time to build the house now because by the time you complete the house, it will be 2013 and you wait for another 4 years to 2017, your new wealth will come in.
If your desire is for future wealth, you are in the right track. If you are thinking of present wealth, open SE1 door will not help you because it is not the right time yet.
If it is your desire to build your house facing SE1, it is perfectly OK as what Howard has said it. You will have future wealth, no problem.
Now is 2009 and to reach 2017 will be another 8 years, if you can wait that long for your wealth, it is perfectly OK. It all depends on what you want and desire.
I am only telling you the law of nature and the law of feng shui. If our desire does not conform to the law of nature, then we will suffer. If we want to live harmony with nature, we have to conform to the law of nature, so to speak.

Josie from Panama has got a feng shui question for you.
Hi,
First, please forgive me for my english, is not good because I am french.
My question is : I have a nice land on a island. We want to build a house this year and the best place to built it is front the sea. We have a choice to do it in E3 (110°) or SE1 (117°).
My gua is 6 and my husband gua is 6.
I like the SE1 (117°) because is the best view to the sea, but the chart is string pearls, I don't know if is realy bad and Has the 8 M on the front 8W on back, (reverse chart)
the chart is this one : 765 876 432 ( facing IS 876)
321 987 654
543 198 219
My land has Sea view with some trees on the front and trees on back.
So I don't know if is very bad or if we can work with it.
IF we choose SE1 our bedroom will be in 654. My husband office in 198 and 543.
Somebody can help me please ?

should face south(158 to 202) and the door should open on the south. SE and E should plant trees

Thank for your answer. It is not possible to choose S (158 to 202) in this case the house will be with the side in front the ocean and the view will be to the trees. Is not logical to have a ocean front and put the house looking at the trees and the land beside us.
My question was which one is the best E3 or SE1.
best regards
Josie

This is what we call liufa feng shui. you can check the website at http://www.fengshui-liufa.com
There are two schools of thought. Period 8 Di Gua (Earth Gua) started from 1996 to 2016. Period 8 Tian Yun(Heaven luck) started from 2004 to 2023. Period 8 is yin gua when you fly, you should fly reverser.
9 4 2
1 8 6
5 3 7
In period 8, you can open the door at S2, w2, NW1, NE3. Only doors opened at any four of the direction could attract wealth, The other direction should not open door.
Your landscape is not in line with period 8 requirement. As you said it is not logical to have the ocean at the side, but your landscape does not conform with the period 8 requirement. Ask the Liufa master, they will tell you. other master might have different opinion.

Hi Josie,
Seeing you are talking about Flying Stars, I will make my comments accordingly.
By all means, build your dream house facing SE1 because you like it most, human desire is an important factor in Feng Shui..
You can take care of the “ a continuous string of pearls” with an entry at the back to match up with the timely 8W and a low garden wall at the front to match up with the timely 8M without blocking the water view. A reverse house needs physical support for the stars in the microenvironment and that would give you an opportunity to create the right form and configurations from the formless Gua Qi stars.
Your bedroom can be handled with some Water Wuxing Jiehua and your husband’s office is not too bad, he has the timely water star there and also the 3,8 combination (influence of adjacent palace in term of the water stars that influence wealth) makes for Early Heaven Wood, and that is good for business growth.
The concern I have as a Feng Shui architect is the actual planning itself, if you do a qi flow study of the design, there is not enough ju qi (assembled qi) areas in the house to ju qing (assembled feelings and affections) and you are not taking full advantage of a wonderful site, for example, blocking off the corners will miss an opportunity to give you a panoramic view of the water.
Also, if you study the Wuxing of the form of the house, overall it is Wood because it is rectangular in shape, the rounded corners are considered Metal and Metal will chop Wood, so I would seriously think about keeping the shape simple and regular to make it more Yadan (elegantly simple).
Because of the “continuous string of pearls” you will need a more open plan internally and not blocking up the qi flow from one side of the house to another. All the palaces need to be linked up as much as possible because the numbers do that to make the “continuous string”.
Regards,
Howard Choy

KC posts the same question to Howard as it was not answered or it has not been properly answered or not to the point.
Howard,
My question is not about 3 Eras and 9 Periods 三元九運 and 2 Eras and 8 Periods 二元八運. I am particularly interested in 玄空六法 xuan Kong Liu fa. I think you should have read about Lin Zhi-Rong 林志榮 's book玄空六法秘訣圖解. I am not talking about 紫白元運 nor about 紫白飛星.
As you have an article written about xuan kong liu fa 玄空六法, therefore, I think you should know about xuan kong liu fa 玄空六法. I saw the example you posted in your blog talked about Master Tan Yuan-Wu's 談養吾 ‘s theory and application of Xuan Kong Liu Fa 玄空六法.
I wanted to know your opinion about what Lin Zhi-Rong 林志榮 said in his book玄空六法秘訣圖解. Lin mentioned that YuanYunFaWei元運發微 talked about 挨星山運水運，元運發微 said 水運starts from 2002 and Master Tan Yuan-Wu's 談養吾 Xuan Kong Liu Fa 玄空六法 said水運starts from 1997, in your opinion, which theory is applicable and correct?

KC

Feng Shui color and material trend for 2009
Feng Shui colorjavascript:void(0) and material trend for 2009
Posted by howardchoy under art/architecture
No Comments
One of my students works for an interior design magazine and she wants to know just before Christmas last year how to use Feng Shui to predict the color and material trend for the coming year.
I told her Feng Shui prediction is done through correlative thinking, and one of the most widely used method is to associate the color and material with the elements of the coming year’s Stem and Branch and use the Wuxing Sheng-ke relationships to do the predictions.
It is more desirable to match the year’s elements; then use a good dose of generate-in, less dose of control-in, and avoid generate-out and control-out, unless one deems necessary. But she must also do the three following things as well:
One is to find out the trend for the current and past couple of years so she has a good sense of continuity from the past to present then she has a better chance of projecting her thoughts into the future.
Two is have a thorough understanding of the current social, political and economical situation of the world, in particular the country and the audience she writes for. The audience’s needs, fears and longings in a particular situation and time frame, should be addressed as fitful as possible in her predictions.
Three is to be general and not too specific in her predictions, and try not to pick a choice that will alienate too many people, but she has to be creative and slightly controversial at the same time to generate “ganying” (mutual response).
She asked me for an example, so I gave her the following practice piece, telling her this is a rough sketch because I have not done my proper research yet and my writing skill is geared for someone who knows a bit about how Feng Shui works and not for a more general audience. Her editor can help her better than I can in this aspect.
“With Yin Earth on Yin Earth, a receptive gray/yellow/brown organic earthy tone pallet will be the dominant Feng Shui color theme for the next year of the Ox. The accent is on a return to authentic and sustainable materials that makes one feels cool, protected and stable.
Next year’s color choice should make one feels nurtured and cared for. They are colors of hibernation deep deep down in the damp earth, but with a generous amount of fire red (generate in) accent to keep us warm and a little bit of wood green accent to keep us awake (control in).
If you ever dream of building a mud brick home, this is the year to do it, you don’t need to go and see your bank manager, just pick up a shovel and dig up the earth on your land to do it.
Make sure you mix the dirt with plenty of hay and water, don’t use corrugated iron for the roof, it will weaken the Earth, use an earth covered roof and grow grass on it for insulation instead.Don’t use metal windows either, use wooden ones instead and let them go gray naturally.
As for flooring material, it should be burnt clay or naturally exposed grayish concrete. Think Yin Earth with a little bit of warm Fire and naturally weathered Wood, being receptive and nurturing in your choice and you can’t go wrong in a Yin Earth on Yin Earth year of the Ox.”
Everything goes in cycles, I would like to think our 230 years old timber and mud farmhouse show below is trendy again in the year of the Ox. Come and spend a few days there, if you have the time:
