Te white numbers 1, 6 and 8 bring varying degrees of good fortune wherever and whenever they

occur either in ying star natal charts, in annual or monthly charts OR in the trigram charts. Of thesethree numbers, 8 is the most auspicious, while 6 brings the luck of heavens blessings. Te number 1brings victory and triumph over adversaries. Additional attributes of these numbers are related to theirrespective element and these are usually studied in the context of how their elements interact with theelements of the spaces they occupy in the charts and in different years.

Good fortune brought by the white star numbers apply in potent ways whether they appear as numbersin a ying star chart, or as numbers that y into the different compass sectors in the annual chartof each year. Tey are equally potent in the monthly charts. Te feng shui of Chinese numerologyexpressed in these numbers offer different applications. It is therefore benecial to understand themeanings of these numbers thoroughly.

An important aspect of the numbers is the element represented by each of the numbers. In this context,the white numbers belong to the following elements.

The number 8 is an Earth numberIt is strengthened by Fire energy, so when the number 8 occurs in the South direction, it becomesextra potent. Since we are now in the period of 8, this number has become a very powerful energizerof good fortune, so its appearance in your life as your phone number, your house number or as specialnumbers in your business will be very auspicious indeed. Te number 8 also looks like the innitysign which is recognized as a very powerful symbol in many cultures. Te number 8 also signies themountain, which is strong and unmovable. And remember, mountains contain many hidden treasures,but also many hidden dangers!

It suggests excellent mentor and leadership luck as well as obtaining strong support frominuential people. Te number 6 is strengthened by the element of earth so is especially benecial when it occurs in the earth sectors of Southwest, Northeast and the center of any building or house.Te number 6 brings unexpected and speculative luck.

The number 1 belongs to the Water elementIt is especially extra strong when it occurs in the North sector. Tis number works harmoniously whenit ies into the metal sectors of West and Northwest, it then gets strengthened, but it does exhaustthe energy of these sectors. It brings productive luck when it ies into the East and Southeast, and inthese sectors it brings growth, manifesting abundance in often rather spectacular ways.

Te powerful effect of these three numbers is felt most when they occur as either water stars or mountainsstars in a ying star chart, and when activated with the physical presence of water or mountain, theyhave the potential to bring exceptional good fortune. Natural water such as lakes and mountains as wellas lowlands and highlands are of course more benecial, but man-made features will do just as well.

manifest as career promotions and upward advancement. o activate the water star 1, place a bubbling water feature where it occurs. Te water feature need not be large, but it needs to be yang and active.Te water feature should not be placed in the bedroom since water in the bedroom can lead to lossand betrayal. Te number 1 belongs to the water element and it is excellent when it ies into theNorth where the chi of the North harmonizes with it very well.

6/18

Te number 6 brings heavens blessings. Tis is a number which had lost some chi energy during thePeriod of 7, but in the current Period of 8, it has become revitalized and has the strength to attractcopious amounts of good fortune. It is usually associated with sudden and unexpected good fortune,the sort that comes without warning bringing lovely surprises.

HE NUMBER 6 AS HE WA ER S AR brings divine luck that gets magnied when furthersupplemented by ones destiny luck. Te number 6 stands for heaven and its equivalent trigram is thatof CHIEN which signies the leader or the patriarch. So the number 6 as the water star attracts goodmoney luck for the leader, for the patriarch and for the head of the family.

In the period of 7, the number 6 lacked vitality and strength, but in the period of 8, this number hasbeen revitalized and has the capability of attracting excellent good fortune. Tis is an especially lucky water star to activate with the presence of a water feature, especially with a six tier waterfall in thesector of the garden where it appears. If you opt to have this feature, the water should be placed outsidethe home in the appropriate corner where it occurs and the water feature that is built should best bea small waterfall with six levels of waterfall. Te water must be seen to be entering the home so thereshould be a door or window to symbolically receive the water. Tis is the correct way of activating thisexcellent money-bringing water star.

If you place a water feature inside the house, do try to invest in one of those truly artistic Zen-type water features that keep water bubbling gently.

Te crystal earth energy will also strengthen the metal element of thenumber - hence the elements are in harmony. Te result is that everyone interacts harmoniously andagreeably. Tere will be minimum misunderstandings and little inghting.

The number 6 is identified withthe trigram Chien and benefitsthe man of the house.

NUMBER 6 BRINGS HEAVENS BLESSINGS



7/18

Te number 8 is the luckiest number in this period and will stay lucky until Feb 4th 2024. It is thereigning number of the current period and in these next few years from 2008 onwards, the number is just warming up to eventually reach its peak strength. Tis whole period is a time when wealth willarise from property ownership. Tis is due to the earth element of the number 8. Te key to keepingthe luck of 8 vigorous is to ensure plenty of re element energy wherever it occurs. Te number 8enjoyed excellent chi energy during the period of 7, but in this period of 8 it has become even morepowerful, enjoying what we term ripening luck.

HE NUMBER 8 AS HE WA ER S AR brings abundant wealth luck, which gets magnied whenit is properly activated by the presence of real water. Tis can be a pond or pool with some depth (atleast 18 inches deep) and if possible, with a continuous ow of water coming into the pond to signifyconstant replenishment. Te number 8 stands for the mountain and its equivalent trigram is that ofKEN, which also signies the youngest son. So this period tends to favour the young man.

When the number 8 is the water star, it attracts good money luck for everyone, but especially forthe youngest son or only son of the family. In the period of 7, the number 8 was already very lucky;at that time, it signied future prosperity. Now that we are in the period of 8, the number signiescurrent prosperity, so for the current twenty years until Feb 4th 2024, the number 8 stands for goodfortune that is ready to materialize.

However, if the water star 8 falls in your bedroom, you should not activate it with a water feature, as water in the bedroom creates loss. In the bedroom, it is unnecessary to activate the water star. Here,the energy of the couple is sufficient to energize the auspicious water star.

Having said that, do note that the best way to activate the water star 8 is still always a large waterfeature, preferably a pond that is dug into the ground. Te act of digging is very auspicious for thecorner BU this should take place only in the garden or outdoors. You should refrain from digginginside the house UNLESS you are rebuilding the home. Never dig inside the home while you are stilloccupying it. Tis brings enormous bad luck!

HE NUMBER 8 AS HE MOUN AIN S AR is excellent since the symbol of the number 8 is itselfthe mountain. Since the mountain star signies good fortune in all your relationships, this means that when your room or office enjoys the presence of the mountain star 8, you will enjoy great popularityand have success in all your interactions with people. Your networking luck will be very successfuland everyone will like you. If your bedroom enjoys the mountain star 8, it is truly very auspicious asit brings good health and harmonious relationships.

Te best way to energize the mountain star 8 is with the symbolic presence of mountains. Outsidethe house in the garden, this can be a brick wall or some higher ground or even better, a near viewof hills or mountains. Inside the home it can be a painting of mountains or it can be a crystal geode.Failing all this, it is also a good idea to have bright lights. Fire element energy fuels the mountain andis very good for strengthening the mountain star.

5 NUMBER 8 BRINGS EXCELLENT LUCK



8/18

Te number 4 is the star of scholastic accomplishments and literary excellence. It signies excellent writing skills and the attainment of exceptional academic success for those who can directly tap intoits good energy. In the Constellation of nine stars, this number also stands for literary pursuits. Allthese positive attributes occur throughout the nine periods, but in varying strengths. In the currentperiod of 8, the number 4 is not as vigorous as it can be. Nevertheless, it is still an indicator of romanticpeach blossom luck.

Te number 4 is strongest during the Period of 4. In the current period 8, the number 4 is not unlucky,but its strength is not as potent. When 4 transforms into a dead star, it can cause residents residing inthe palace to be driven to severe mental stress, unless it is combined with an unaffiliated white star.

Te number 4 tends to become a dead star during the Lower Periods of 7, 8 and 9. But when combined with 1, it comes alive and unleashes its positive benets. So when water activates the wood of thenumber 4, it becomes energized and is suddenly strengthened, much like a dried plant hibernatingand then springing to life in the Spring.

However, it is important not to have too much water, since excess water transforms the positive intonegative. Wood dies when there is too much water. What hurts the number 4 star and causes it to dieis metal energy. Hence the 4 when found in the metal sectors of West and Northwest is less potentthan when it is found in the North.

Te number 4 also signies romance, although when there is excess water, the romance tends to be illicitin nature, leading to scandals and sordid problems associated with sexual indelity. When the 4 combines with 1, it is already a good sign and it is not necessary to activate further except with movement andsounds, so placing a frequently used door in that sector or a moving fan will be sufficient to activateits good effects. It is better not to put too much water in a corner with the number 4, especially if itis the mountain star. Tis might lead to indelity in a marriage.

6

The number 4 brings romance andsuccess in scholarly pursuits. It isstrengthened by water, but toomuch water creates infidelity.4

NUMBER 4 BRINGS LITERARY & ROMANCE LUCK



9/18

Te number 9 represents future prosperity. Tis is because 9 is the reigning number of the 20 yearperiod of the next period (i.e. from the years 2024 to 2044) in the current millennium. Nine is thepurple star and in the Constellation it is known as the right hand assistant.

Nine is often described as a big-hearted star. It nurtures and helps the matriarch care for the family.Nine expands and multiplies all good or bad fortune equally, especially when it is combined with anearth star number. When combined with 2 or 5, it expands their malevolence.

When combined with 8, it multiplies the good fortune. So with 9, it makes 8 even more auspicious, while with 2 and 5, it magnies the misfortune brought by these two stars. Te number 9 denotes there element and is especially auspicious when it occurs as a mountain star own into any one of theearth sectors Southwest or Northeast.

But 9 can be regarded as a lucky number on its own. Much like 8, this number is a perennial favourite with the Chinese. In fact, amongst the Cantonese, they prefer 9 to 8, as the number 9 is also seen asthe highest denomination number. Te number 9 is a number that cannot change or be corrupted.Irrespective of how many times you multiply 9 by, the sum of its digits always add up to 9. So at itsmost yang and favourable, the number 9 brings fame and recognition, success and fruition. At its mostnegative, 9 brings arguments, re and sickness associated with the eyes and the heart.

7

Displaying Nine Dragons is the mosteffective way of activating the goodenergy of the powerful nine.

PURPLE 9 BRINGS FUTURE PROSPERITY



10/18

8Te rst of the unlucky numbers is the number 7 which in Period 8 is not a lucky number. In Period8 it has become like a broken soldier, injured and dangerous. Te star 7 should now be considereda vicious number indicating bloodshed and violence caused by metal. Tis is because 7 is a metalnumber and its color in the Constellation is red. So symbolically, it stands for a weapon (metal) thatdraws blood!

In terms of the member of the family, it signies the youngest daughter. So when 7 is auspicious, itpromises riches and it benets the youngest child, especially the daughter of the family. Since it hasturned nasty however, the number 7 causes robbery, betrayal, violence, and death and it brings dangerto little girls. It can also signify loss of family members, imprisonment and accidents caused by re.Te best way to overcome the Number 7 star is with water, which exhausts its energy. Both yin andyang water are excellent for subduing the terrible energy of the 7 star.

Te best cure for the number 7 star is a blue rhino, which should be placed where 7 ies to each yearor month. Tis helps in reducing the danger of getting hurt, cheated and robbed as a result of the7 appearing in your corner. Get a rhino that is about 8 inches in size. One with blue markings or iscoloured blue to signify water is very effective. In 2008, the number 7 ies to the SW, so if your maindoor or bedroom is in the SW, you must have the blue rhino there. You can also get a miniature rhinoand hang it on your handbag to protect against snatch thieves.

THE UNLUCKY NUMBERS

7Unlucky number 7 bringsviolence and robbery.



11/18

Tis is a number which is to be feared more as an annual and monthly star number than when it appearsas a mountain or water star. It is the number that brings illness and when there is a concentration of2s in the bedroom you occupy you are likely to get very ill. Sometimes the sickness can be so seriousas to be fatal unless the necessary cures have been put into place to counter the intangible effect ofthe energy of the 2 star.

If your bedroom has the number 2 as the mountain star in the ying star chart of your home, it islikely that you could succumb easily to illness, bugs and u viruses. During years and months whenthe number 2 also ies in to strengthen the natal mountain 2 star, the threat of illness becomes evenmore serious. It is thus a good idea to combat the number 2 mountain star, and this is best done inany of the following ways:

Place a six-rod all-metal windchime in the bedroom making sure it is not placed directly1.above your head when you sleep or sit in a chair. Te best place to put this windchime is atthe corner that corresponds to the location of the 2 star in the small tai chi of the room.Place a brass or other metal wu lou in the corner of the room which corresponds to the2.location of the illness star. If this is not possible, then place the wu lou next to the bed insidethe bedroom.Do not inadvertently activate the mountain star with earth energy for instance by placing3.crystals or glass spheres in the corner of the illness star, since this will strengthen it.Make sure you do not place lights or any kind of activating lamps in the corner of the illness4.star. Fire energy strengthens earth energy and the illness star 2 is an earth element star. Neveruse a salt lamp.It is a good idea to sleep on a brass bed if the illness star afflicts the bedroom. A wooden bed5.is also a good idea.

Te number 2 is known as a black star, and in the Constellation it is known as the Huge Door. Tenumber 2 stands for the mother and when it shows its auspicious side, which is during the Periodof 2, it brings great wealth and prosperity, high positions in the army and is especially benevolenttowards mature women.

When it is negative however the number 2 causes the woman to suffer. It can also lead to premature widowhood, miscarriages, serious and fatal illness and stomach problems.

In the period of 8 the number 2 combines with the period number to create a sum of ten. So 2is not considered a dangerous number in the current period. Instead, it possesses the potentialof turning auspicious.

o dissolve the illness effects of 2 however, place the cures already recommended or simply hang astring of six metal coins at the palace having the number 2 inuence. Tis strengthening of metalenergy exhausts the earth of 2. Te number 6 (and thus the 6 coins) represents Chien or big metal.Te effect of 6 coins is extremely powerful since 6 signies the power of heavenly forces. Tis is why we use the 6 rod windchime.

9 NUMBER 2 BRINGS ILLNESS LUCK



12/18

Te BAD luck numbers are generally regarded as the earth stars 2 and 5 as well as the hostile star 3.Tese numbers bring varying degrees of misfortune wherever and whenever they occur, either in theying star natal charts, in the annual or monthly charts OR in the trigrams charts. Of these threenumbers 5 is the most dangerous and is to be feared, 2 brings illness and 3 is the deadly star that bringsa reversal of fortune causing severe problems and aggravations. Te number 5 brings loss, tragedyand misfortune.

Te number 5 has a pernicious effect.

Tis is the most troublesome of the nine numbers. Five is a yellow number and it is powerful becauseit is the center number of the original Lo Shu Square. Although it is known as the wicked star,nevertheless, in circumstances when it is benevolent, 5 brings exceptional prosperity luck. Tis occursduring the period of 5. It can also benet those whose KUA number is 5.

Generally however, 5 is a very unfavourable star number that brings sickness, ill health and misfortune.o overcome its negative effects, you need a ve element pagoda or a 6 rod windchime. Tese metalobjects are powerful enough to exhaust the energy generated by the earth element of the number 5.

Remember that 5 is at its most harmful when it appears as an annual star (known as the wu wang) or when it is combined with the 9 star. Tis combination must be controlled wherever it occurs with acure. Te sound of metal caused by windchimes exhausts the Earth energy. Te ve element pagodasymbolically imprisons the earth energy inside the pagoda. Another strong method is to hang a metalcurved knife high up near the ceiling, which symbolically destroys the number 5 star.

When both 5 and 2 occur together, you can use a brass windchime with six hollows rods but you willneed a larger windchime to add strength. Or hang six windchimes. Or add 6 coins to make the curestronger. Remember that when you hang windchimes you should hang them such that they are notsuspended directly above anybodys head. Hang them near a wall rather than suspending just fromthe ceiling.

10

The six rod windchime made ofbrass with coins is an excellentway of subduing the presenceof the wu wang or five yellow.

FIVE YELLOW IS BAD NEWS ALL THE WAY



13/18

Te number 3 is generally regarded as a dangerous star. Tree is the quarrelsome star that causesmisunderstandings, disharmony and all kinds of obstacles to manifest. It has the power to aggravatesituations and when it is strengthened, 3 brings lawsuits and court cases. In worst case scenarios it canbring violence and even death. In the constellation, it is known as the jade star and during its ownperiod of 3, it brings wealth and prosperity and it benets the eldest son of the family. But duringperiods 7 and 8, the number 3 is incredibly troublesome and inauspicious, bringing malicious gossip,injury to the limbs, the hands and legs, ngers and toes, and even worse, aggravations related to courtcases, civil suits and run-ins with the authorities.

If you are experiencing a sudden onslaught of problems related to the law or with the civil andgovernment authorities, you can be certain that you are being hit by the number three star. Mostlikely it is the annual and monthly star coming into your room or office or afflicting the location whereyour main entrance door is located. Internally within the body, the number 3 can create problems withthe liver and the bladder, especially when it combines with the number 2 illness star.

Te best way to overcome the negative aspects of the number 3 star is to shine a very bright light whereit occurs. Tis means the corner where the ying star chart indicates its presence either as mountain, water, annual or monthly star. Painting the wall here a bright red is also very effective. Te importantthing is that the energy used to cure it must be quiet and silent re energy, and then it is excellent forcontrolling its pernicious effect. In fact, re cures for 3 are said to be exceptionally potent. If usingbright lights is difficult, anything red will work such as a bright red curtain, or a painting that haspredominantly red tones. But remember not to have any movement or sound. So do not place yourfax machine, your copier machine or your printing machine here. Feng shui practitioners in the knoware always wary of the number three star. And whether it afflicts you directly or not, the advice is touse red re energy wherever it occurs.

The Ksiddhigarbha Fire Ball withmantras is a very effective wayof controlling the argumentativeenergy of the number 3 star.

14/18

THERE ARE SEVERAL AUSPICIOUS SO-CALLED SPECIAL IN FLYING STAR WHICHPROMISE EXTREME GOOD FORTUNE WHEN THEY OCCUR IN THE FLYING STARNATAL CHART, AND WHEN CERTAIN PHYSICAL MANIFESTATIONS ARE ALSO PRESENT.THESE TWO AND THREE NUMBER COMBINATIONS REFER TO COMBINATIONS OFTHE PERIOD STAR NUMBER, THE WATER STAR NUMBER, AND OR THE MOUNTAINSTAR NUMBER. NOT ALL THE NINE PERIODS HAVE THESE SPECIALS, SO IF YOUREPLANNING TO BUILD A HOME IT IS WORTH INVESTIGATINGIF WAITING UNTILTHE CHANGE OF PERIOD WILL ALLOW YOU TO BENEFIT FROM ONE OF THESECOMBINATIONS.

When you become familiar with the numbers that constitutethese specials you might be faced withthe dilemma of not knowing which set of numbers to choose in building a new home. For exampleyou may have to choose between tapping say a "double 8" or the "sum of ten." Tis is something thatrequires you to make a trade off. Or you may discover contradictions in the analysis - for instancethe elements may be saying one thing and the numbers by themselves saying something else. Insuch instances take note of the strength of the specials. When they are very strong - i.e. when specialcombinations are supported by structures in the environment - they can and do override the elements.Tink through how you wish to tap the numbers. Often solutions do come in a ash of brillianceand, with practice, you will grow in condence. Be alert to results when making ying star changes.Believe me, feng shui results manifest very quickly. You will feel the change in energy within a weekof making changes. So stay alert and live in a state of awareness - this is the best way to train yourselfin the use of advanced feng shui.

1. The sum of tenTis is when two numbers in each palace combine to make the sum of 10 - an auspicious combinationthat suggests completeness and all ve manifestations of happiness. Te sum of ten brings an abundanceof happiness, encompassing wealth, longevity, good health, a love of virtue, and excellent descendentsluck. Signicantly it also brings the promise of a natural death for residents so it protects againstpremature and violent death. Te relevant combinations are of period star with water star or withmountain star and to qualify as sum of ten houses, all the palaces must have the sum of ten made upof two numbers. In the 180 years of a fu II cycle the sum of ten occurs 20 times in a II the periodsexcept in period ve.

Period and water star sum of ten combinations are activated by the presence of water in the palaceoccupied by a prominent water star such as the water star 7 or the water star 8. Luck gets even better when the prominent water star is in the front of the house. And when there is also a mountain at theback palace, supporting the house, luck comes in abundance. Please note that when I say water I meanphysical water or alternatively a hole, a valley, or lower ground. And when I say mountain I also includein my denition higher ground, a concrete wall, a building, or simply a mound of stones and rocks.

In looking at the strength of the sum of ten special some masters insist that they only work when thehouse is a perfect square or rectangle. A square house is said to be the most perfect manifestation butI have seen it work even in L-shaped houses.

A second condition of the sum of ten is that for it to have real strength it must be found in every singleone of the nine palaces. Only then does it have the strength to override all other "rules" of the ying

12 THE AUSPICIOUS SPECIALS



15/18

star system, including even the Five Yellow and other ominous indications. Such is the power of thesum of ten. Tere are sum of ten houses in all periods, except period ve.

In period seven, for instance, you can see that a south 2/3 house is a real sum of ten house. In thisillustration of the natal chart the sum of ten in every palace is highlighted. In addition I have alsohighlighted the prominent mountains stars 8 and 7, which should be activated to get the most out ofthis sum of ten combination. o activate this particular combination (where the period star combines with the mountain star) use a crystal.

Te third condition for the sum of ten is that for it to attain its full power, it should be stronglyactivated by external land forms. raditionally, this meant having the celestial guardians- dragon andtiger, tortoise and phoenix - around the house. I have found, however, that the conditions can also besimulated with the use of good paintings of mountains as well as by using symbols of good fortune. Forexample, it is possible to use a quartz crystal "mountain" placed in the "small tai chi palace" or cornerhousing the prominent mountain star 8. Tis attracts power, recognition, inuence, and patronageluck. Use a crystal that sends out strong vibes like a mountain.

Meanwhile, there are also charts where only certain sectors exhibit the sum of ten. In the followingchart of a west l-facing house the southeast palace has a period/mountain sum of ten, the southwesthas a period/water sum of ten, and the east has a mountain/water sum of ten. Tis is not regardedas a sum of ten house, but the sum of ten in each of the palaces where they occur is still consideredauspicious. Tis sum of ten, however, does not have the power to override other rules of ying star.However, the palaces can be individually activated - in the southeast and east with a water feature andin the southwest with a mountain feature to take advantage of the prominent star 7. Let the mountainstar 3 fall into water to dissolve its quarrelsome instincts. Water features are best when they are Yang water.

2. The parent string or three period combinationsTis is a very powerful and very auspicious combination which manifests the luck of three periods. Wherever it occurs prosperity permeates through the household throughout the 20 years of that period.Tis combination is also referred to in the texts as the "parent string" of three numbers - with eachnumber representing one of the lower, upper, and middle periods. Te chart below shows how numbersare laid out in the three period table. Te auspicious combinations are 1,4,7; 2, 5,8; and 3, 6, 9.

Tese numbers represent truly awesome luck. When they are present in your ying star natal chartyou and your family will enjoy tremendous good fortune in the form of wealth, fame, success, respect,recognition, family happiness, and harmony - as well as excellent descendants who bring honor to thefamily. Tree periods simply means that the house will enjoy good fortune through the three periods.It suggests long-lasting good luck. And it also protects residents from premature and violent death.So these are wonderful combinations to have.

When building a new home you might want to design it around a natal chart that manifests thesenumbers. Tey occur in the coming period of eight in houses that tap the SW/NE axis in the secondor third sub-directions as their facing orientation. So houses facing NE/SW 2/3 will enjoy the parentstring formation. Te relevant period eight charts are shown below.

Most texts recommend that the presence of these numbers should be cause enough for good fortuneto manifest. Tere are some practitioners, however, who insist that the cosmic trinity of heaven, earth,and mankind represented by this combination requires the presence of mountains in front and slow-moving water behind for its good fortune to be released. Tis is something fairly controversial and Iam personally reluctant to interpret the texts this way since mountains in front of the house seldombring good luck and in fact it signies that ones luck is blocked. Water behind also signies missedopportunity.

I would interpret this special as being so auspicious it does not require the traditional mountainbehind and water in front formation, and even when there is a mountain in front and slow moving water behind it continues to be auspicious. So as long as the parent string numbers are present inevery palace of the natal chart this alone should signify extreme good fortune. Tis conguration ofnumbers does not occur in periods one, three, seven, and nine. It occurs in the earth periods of two,ve, and eight, and it occurs twice in periods four and six.

So in the coming period of eight this auspicious combination is available to be tapped (more on thisin the chapter on Changing to Period Eight).

3. The pearl string sequential combinationIn addition to the parent string combination of three period numbers there is another specialcombination of numbers that is also auspicious. Tis is the three sequential number combination. Forthis special to have real strength, the combination has to be present in every palace of the house. Anexcellent example of the occurrence of these numbers can be seen in a W2/3-facing house.

When they occur in a chart they have the power to triple any kind of good luck activated. Here is thechart of a period seven house with the facing orientation NW2/3. Look at how every sector in thischart shows a sequential range of numbers. Such a house would also benet from having mountains inthe distance in front of the home and water behind. Te texts do, however, warn that all benets expireand must be revitalized at the end of the period. In the case of this house that means on 4 February2004 residents of such a house should immediately change the period of the house to period eight.

An important note regarding this feature touches on how it can be activated. o manifest extreme goodfortune the presence of a range of mountains in the distance in front of the home is required. Suchhomes will enjoy tremendous good fortune, especially when it is possible to see three discernible peaks.Tis feature indicates that the house will give birth to a child who will grow up to be emperor. Legendhas it that the family home of the late Chinese leader Deng Xiao Ping was such a house. Tose livingin a house with such a chart should activate the prominent water and mountain stars with water andmountain features and symbols. Te sequential bonus will triple the luck activated.

4. The structural strength of the auspicious doubles

Te fourth of the auspicious specials manifests in the structural strength of auspicious doubles. Tesemust not be missed or underestimated, especially when they occur in the facing palace in the front ofthe house or in the sitting palace at the back of the house. Either way when they occur as prominent

numbers they bring an abundance of good fortune. Tese auspicious doubles occur in the charts ofperiod seven and period eight, so remember to look out for the double 7 and the double 8.

Shown here are two charts with the auspicious doubles in the facing palace. Tis single indicationalone can bring extreme good fortune, especially when properly energized. Te period seven house isfacing NE2/3 and the period eight house is facing north 1. In case you are trying to follow the path ofthe stars, just note that the period seven chart is in the original format with south placed on the top, while the period eight chart has already been turned to place north on top. Tis is sometimes done tomake analysis easier, so dont get confused.

Tese exceptionally good indications should be energized. In the period seven house, where the double

7 occurs in the facing palace, the texts say that if there are real mountains in the distance that are within view, and there is also water nearby, then there will be outstanding overall luck. In charts wherethe double 7 is in the sitting palace then having both water and mountains behind the house wouldbe most benecial. When we speak of mountains here we are referring to the real physical presence ofmountains. In cities tall buildings can take the place of mountains.

Where physical mountains and water are not available, man-made water and specially-built hillockscan fulll the same function. Te only condition is to ensure the water and mountain are within viewbut not too close to the home. Tey should not appear to block the home, so when mountains in frontare required to activate the auspicious star it is best when they are at a distance. Charts with the double8 in the period of eight will also bring great abundance when activated in a similar fashion.
