1. Feng Shui makes the essence of positive chi in the home or office. It protects the owner or the occupant from negative spots or areas like overhead beams; poison arrow corners; sectors visited by unlucky or harmful flying stars. Through enhancers and symbols, Feng Shui activates wealth, abundance and harmony in positive sectors.

2. Killing chi causes misfortunes. You must defend yourself from the negative or bad effect of the killing chi by placing the adequate protectors in the proper areas. These will bring out the wealth luck and good energies.

3. The source of killing chi or negative energy comes from all things sharp, pointed, angular, hostile, straight, cutting edges that appear to directly hit at your front door, main gate, and window.

4. Heavy exposed overhead beams, when you are eating, working or sleeping affect your health, thinking and even your wealth luck. Keep away from these areas to avoid harmful effect.

5. If your main door is directly hit by a straight road, pathway or driveway, place a pakwa mirror above the door outside to repel the killing chi. A convex mirror can be used in lieu of the pakwa mirror.

6. The same pakwa or convex mirror can be used to repel the bad effect of the pointed edge of a neighbor’s roof directly hits your front door; or a lamp post, a tree, a tower, a smoke stack, a water tank sends killing chi to your front door.

7. The sides or edge of tall buildings serve as poison arrows. Their cutting or slicing effect can be blocked by high walls or trees.

8. If your main door or gate is greatly affected by the mentioned killing chi, use another door if possible and close the afflicted door permanently.

9. If you wish door direction, consult the new flying star natal chart and find out your auspicious kua direction. Door directions are important in clearing the best wealth luck.

10. Your kua direction is determined by your birth year and gender. If you were born before February 4, you belong to the previous animal sign of the Chinese zodiac.

11. The Chinese New Year’s date varies every year. Those born in the last ten days of January or the first two weeks of February may need to find out which sign they belong (to be more accurate) from the Chinese lunar calendar.

12. Add the last two digits of your birth year. Keep adding until you get a single number as a result. If you are a male, subtract the resulting number from 10. If you are a female add 5 to the resulting number. Again if the result is two digits, keep on adding until you get just one digit. This therefore is your kua number.

13. Your most auspicious wealth direction according to your kua number is called “sheng chi”.

14. Here is the sheng chi direction for: Kua number 1- southeast 2 - northeast 3 - south 4 - north  5 (male) - northeast; 5 (female) -southwest  6 - west 7 - northwest 8 - southwest 9 - east

15. This is your success direction based on one of the most powerful Feng Shui formulas known as the Eight Mansion’s Formula.

16. Only those with kua numbers 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8 can use their own shen chi for the main door. Directly face your main door to your own sheng chi without getting hit by poison arrow.

17. Those having kua numbers 1 and 9 will benefit from homes whose main doors facing north or south. Those with kua numbers 6 and 7 will benefit from main doors facing southwest or northeast.

18. If your main door is in the garage, use the orientation of the house’s frontage to benefit from your sheng chi. If your sheng chi direction is facing the road, the source of maximum “Yang” (positive) energy.

19. The sheng chi direction is taken from the inside facing outward.

20. If your main door or house orientation does not face your sheng chi direction, look for an alternative (second) door that does, and use it to get in and out of your house.

21. Even if your main door faces your sheng chi, your wealth luck will be in serious danger if this door is hit by killing chi such as the pointed roof, lamp post, smoke crack, etc. Hence see to it that none of these affect the main entrance.

22. The southeast sector of the workplace, building, home, office or store is the universal wealth sector or corner or wall. The element that energizes this sector is wood. Thus, to energize the wealth of chi of your home of office place wooden decors or materials.

23. Lush, healthy young plants whose energy is very auspicious and symbolizes growth and continuity.

24. From Feng Shui point of view artificial flowers and silk and plastic plants can represent the wood element and will work just as well as the real thing as long as they look real and kept clean.

25. Dry flowers and leaves, dead tree trunks must be used as décor in the interior because they symbolize extreme negative or yin energy. Use potpourri only in the toilet (especially if the toilet is in the southeast).

26. If the toilet is in the southeast sector, place a small round mirror directly above the toilet bowl on the ceiling to reflect water flushing to symbolize “fountain gushing” energy.

27. When the southeast corner of a home or office is missing because of the room’s shape, wealth luck tends to be temporary or short-lived. To remedy this, place a plant in the corner opposite the southeast and put a mirror facing the plant to create the enhancing symbol.
