Annual Feng Shui for the Year of the Rabbit (2011)
All residential and commercial buildings are affected by energy, whether you can see it or not. Every year, millions of people buy, read, or find books on how to arrange the arrangement of items, furniture, and special features in the living space. 2011 is the Year of the Rabbit, in Chinese, it is called the Yin Metal Rabbit, or ‘xin mao’. Before we begin to assess the Feng Shui cosmic energy for the year, we must understand that Feng Shui affects our mood, psychology, luck, and many other factors in life. By following the flow of our own cosmic system and aligning the energy around us, we can live a much more harmonious and auspicious life. The old saying goes “One fate, two luck, three feng shui.” Feng Shui has a definite influence on our lives, whether we choose to believe in it or not. Obviously, upbringing and the things we choose to do also affect our luck. If you are in a good cycle, with Feng Shui you can enhance good luck, on the other hand, if you are in a bad cycle, Feng Shui can help you reduce the negative impacts of bad luck.
The following is a summary of what anyone with limited knowledge of Feng Shui can do. Keep in mind that if you are unsure about your home’s Feng Shui configurations, have a professional assess your home. In addition to the annual Feng Shui energy, you may need to consider using other traditional Chinese methods such as Flying Stars, Eight Mansions, etc. The annual star also has an impact on flying stars which is determined by the time factor. The use of trinkets, ornaments and statues can be considered. Although some may consider them superstitious, certain animals such as the Dragon, Kirin, and Pi Yao dogs, if positioned correctly, can have powerful defensive qualities. If you intend to make any Feng Shui changes for 2011, be sure to do so after February 4, 2011.
The Grand Duke of Jupiter (82.5º – 97.5º East)
Every year, Asians who practice Feng Shui are always concerned first of all with knowing where the “Grand Duke” resides during the year. It is an area where there is an energetic imbalance due to its interactions with the planet Jupiter and the cosmos. This is an area that should not be disturbed. For the Year of the Rabbit, the Grand Duke is located in the East, therefore, avoid major reforms and activities in this area of the house. The 5-star inauspicious has also moved into this sector, making the eastern sector an even more difficult area to deal with. Things to keep in mind and remedies in the East sector:
• Avoid red and earth colors in this sector.
• Place six corners in a row or metal objects here.
• Brass, bronze, silver or gold dragon ornaments are also recommended.
• Pi Yao Dogs (preferably two) are very popular ornaments used to appease the Grand Duke.
• If you have a different sector of entrance to the house, try to use it instead of the sector east. If east entry is unavoidable, try not to bang or slam the door as you enter.
• Calabash or Wu Lu Gourd can also be used.
An annual white star (northeast)
This year, the Romance Star flies to the Northeast sector. For those who are interested in enhancing the romantic aspect of their lives, or increasing the chances of meeting people, place metal objects and water in this area of your living space. The sound of metal, such as a metal chiming clock or music box, may do the trick. Water is also recommended for this area. If you had to choose one or the other element, definitely go with metal since the Northeast area represents earth. With metal, you are providing a bridge between the energy of the earth and the water of this area.
Two Annual Black Stars (South)
The Two Black Star is often referred to as the disease star. For 2011, this is not a good zone at all, as the sickness star is bolstered by southern fire. If the southern part of your house is the bathroom, guest room, laundry room or storage room, then you are less concerned. In Flying Star Feng Shui, when the 2 and 9 come together, there is a greater potential for misfortune.
Remedies:
• Place six metal coins in this area.
• Avoid construction work or major renovations. If you need to, hire a professional to select a date for renewals.
• The brass ingot can be used to protect wealth.
• Metal Wu Lou Gourd (gourd) is also recommended to reduce the effects of star disease.
• Avoid colors of red and the use of fire (for example, candles and electronic equipment) in this sector.
• Some books that I have found in Hong Kong recommended placing wood in this sector to combat the energy of the earth. Personally, I prefer to reduce bad energy rather than combat it.
Three Annual Jade Stars (North)
This star is not as bad as the Two Black Star or the Grand Duke, but one should watch out for arguments and disputes in this area of the home or business unit. The remedy for this area is simple. Since Three Jade Star possesses wood energy, use red colors and items related to fire to reduce the strength of wood. Avoid using water features in this sector throughout the year unless this area has been correctly diagnosed by a Feng Shui consultant using Flying Stars. Do not hang wind chimes or place metal instruments in this area.
Annual Green Fourstar (Southwestern)
This is often known as the academic or academic star. It governs not only academic and artistic talents, but also other parts such as career, travel, wisdom, education, and interpersonal relationships. Unfortunately, this star flies towards the southwest sector that possesses earth energy, as a result, the academic star is weaker for this year due to its conflict with earth energy. To raise the academic star energy, you will need to place four bamboo sticks in a vase of water. Do not place plants with soil in this area as you may end up creating conflict in this sector for those who are studying. Avoid placing metallic objects as it will weaken the academic star. Having a wooden bookcase or pagoda in this area is also auspicious.
Five Annual Yellow Stars (East)
As mentioned above about the Grand Duke, this sector is not suitable for important activities. It’s not all doom and gloom when we deal with Feng Shui. The key is to identify the bad sectors and find the right remedies. Many traditional Chinese cures involve the use of salt water or six Chinese coins in this area. Those methods may work, but it is more important to avoid disturbing this sector. Use more metal in this area. See the description above about the Grand Duke for remedies in this area.
Six annual white stars (southeast)
Six White Star is a good star for those who want to improve their professional luck. This is also considered a military star which is favorable for those who are politicians or officers. Since Six White Star possesses metal energy while the SE possesses wood, we would need a bridge to enhance metal. To do this, place the elements related to fire and earth together. Logically you would have the wood fueling the fire and the fire strengthening the earth, so the earth can strengthen the metal. You can also place a real quartz crystal or crystal spheres in this area to activate the energy of the White Star.
Annual seven-stealing star (center)
This year, the ‘Broken Soldier’ star is being held prisoner in the center of the palace. This star represents theft, cheating, robbery, gossip, and backstabbing. This star must be taken care of or there may be chances of loss of wealth and theft. DO NOT use red colors in the center of your house and try to avoid candles and electronic equipment here. Metal bells and metal instruments should also be avoided. The best remedy for this sector is to place water here. If you intend to use water features in this area, make sure the water flows slowly. Shocking or vibrating water in this area would accidentally activate the steal star. When in doubt, you can always upgrade your security and alarm system.
Eight annual white stars (northwest)
Of all the stars, the eighth star is the most auspicious as it rules the flying star during this period until 2023. The eighth star’s auspicious earth energy resides in a metal area where its fortunes are reduced by 2011. For those who like placing crystals at home, this is the area you should belong to this year. The best quality hand selected quartz crystals are recommended and should be properly and visibly placed in the North West by 2011. Wealth and fame will also be found in this area of the world and I will cover this next month in my annual predictions. for 2011 If your bedroom is located in the northwest, you may also consider placing an amethyst crystal here to strengthen the Eight White Star. The northwest must also be clear of obstacles. Many Chinese tend to place 8 white pebbles lined up in a cross like the image shown on the star chart. White pebbles can also strengthen and solidify the energy of the earth in this sector.
Nine Annual Purple Stars (West)
This is supposed to be a very auspicious star, as it is considered a “future” wealth star with auspicious influence in this current period. For 2011, the Purple Nine Star, representative of the energy of fire, is in conflict with the metal energy of the west. To top it off, the Three Annual Killings reside in this sector. Do not place metal objects in this area as you may end up disturbing the negative energy of the Three Killings. It is best to delay major renovations or activities in this area of the house until 2011. Remedies for this area would include water and wooden objects. Green plants or fresh flowers grown in water would be your best solution. If you are interested in putting up Chinese decorations to guard the Three Killings, many would use 2 kirin dogs for the Three Killings.
Summary
This report presents you with many options in terms of what you can do to disperse negative energy for 2011 and improve specific areas of your home. This is by no means a healing method as the Annual Flying Stars are only one aspect of a complete Feng Shui system. To maximize your use of Feng Shui, you may want to consult a professional Feng Shui practitioner who can calculate your house’s flying stars based on time and incorporate the eight mansions theory to locate sectors related to your health. wealth and career. Remember that the energies in the house change frequently and are by no means static. Incorporating a professional reading of the Four Pillars of Destiny can provide greater accuracy in determining all your favorable and inauspicious directions.
Feng Shui is not just about balance and harmony, it is also about going with the flow of your own cosmic system. It is very difficult to maximize the use of Feng Shui methods without understanding the person and the cosmic energy they possess.
I wish everyone a happy and healthy Year of the Rabbit!
