subject: Feng Shui Five Elements - Feng Shui and The 5 Element Pagoda Cure [print this page] Feng Shui Five Elements The Flying Stars are hitting some pretty serious areas in my home this year. You could say they are zipping through and pinging off all over the place. What are the Flying Stars you ask? Well...I'm glad you asked. Flying Stars is one of the schools of thought in Feng Shui (the study of placements). The idea is that the stars move around. There is a 20-year cycle, a yearly cycle, monthly cycle, day cycle, and even an hour cycle. Right now we are in the 20-year #8 cycle of making money. That means that wherever the eight falls in the grid on the other cycles, we want to activate that area. For now though, let's take a look at the 5-element pagoda cure. In 2010, the #5 yellow star of Misfortune and the #2 black star of Illness are of particular concern to people born in the Tiger years (of the Chinese zodiac). If you are a female Tiger person/matriarch/elderly and living in a bedroom in the southwest corner of the house, you need to get yourself a 5-element pagoda or 5-element bell immediately, if not sooner. Because the #5 star resides in the southwest and the #2 star is in the northeast (the Tiger direction), they both carry a double whammy for Tigers. They are on the same axis, which increases the effect of each. The #2 black star of Illness being in the Tiger direction is bad enough, but the #5 yellow star of Misfortune brings "illness, injury, and/or death". Ok Tigers, all together now: "Eeeeeek!" The 5-element pagoda is a nifty little device made of brass. It has 5 sections corresponding to the five elements (water, wood, fire, earth, metal) and usually contains some kind of protective mantra or symbol on the outside. The interior is hollow, with a slot-base cover. The idea is to place soil from around your house, protective mantras, and crystals inside to effectively 'lock up the chi' and transmute any harmful energies before they can reach you. If you are laughing as you read this, stop it right now and continue reading-this is strange stuff. I knew absolutely nothing about Flying Star Feng Shui a few years ago. When I read about it I was curious, and compared the previous two years charts to circumstances in my life. To my shock, I found that the afflictive stars had hit me in every area that was not protected...and I didn't even know about such things! Having practiced the more general Black Hat sect and LoPan Compass school feng shui for years, I had often wondered why bad things still happened, even when my home had been feng shuied by the experts. Since studying Flying Star sect, the wondering has ceased; it makes perfect sense. If I had any doubt, what happened in the last couple of weeks got rid of that. The experts say the stars are constantly moving and you can start to feel the effects a month or so before they actually take up the yearly position. Feng Shui Five Elements When I saw the Metal Tiger would be in a not-so-great position in 2010, I started placing cures around my house in December 2009. The energy changed as soon as I finished the bedroom (southwest of course). Placing my 5-element pagoda in the southwest corner of my southwest bedroom, on top of a plastic bin full of clothes, I went to sleep peacefully that night. Upon awakening the next morning, as I attempted to coax my body out of bed, there was a loud 'ting-ting' that came from that corner. I didn't even bother to turn over to look; I knew nothing was over there that could make that noise. A day or two later, as I was showing the 5-element pagoda to a friend, I shook it slightly, producing the exact same 'ting' sound. Realization of what that meant hit me like the proverbial ton of bricks: it had protected me from a (probably) very serious hit. The 'ting' sound came from the protective crystal I had placed inside the pagoda. Whatever energy hit it, hit it hard enough to make that crystal jump twice within the pagoda, creating that sound. The incident happened again, a day after that. While I am grateful that I have been spared whatever chaos that energy was trying to visit upon me, I have to also try to help others-especially Tiger people. When I visited with another Metal Tiger friend, the litany of disasters that have befallen her - just since January 5th - is enough to curl your hair. She told me she doesn't believe in feng shui, since a friend of hers had a top expert do her house and then lost it, her business, all her money, and was now homeless. Yeah...been there, done that. As I mentioned, I didn't even know about the Flying Stars, and they still got me. Just in case you are wondering where to learn about such things, check out two of my favorite websites for that: www.wofs.com and www.geomancy.net. May the Flying Stars of luck bless you and the Flying Stars of Affliction miss you altogether. Feng Shui Five Elements
