 s as o
he Japanese system of feng shui astrology, also known as nine ki
astrology, is one of the oldest forms of astrology in the world. It is
based on the principle that there is a constantly moving energy

Nine ki force, known as ki, that pervades the universe. At the moment you were
born, the most influential planets were in certain positions in space,
25% Parental which created a particular pattern of energy flow that helped to shape
input and the
your character. In the years following your birth there has been a series
of other energy patterns, and your own personal energy has mixed and
continues to mix with these. What these energies are, how time and
direction affect them, and how they affect you, your behavior and your
relationships with others, are covered in this book.

at a considerable advantage in the world. Feng shui astrology can make
a positive contribution to the following areas of your life.

Family You can put your knowledge of ki energy into practice to help
you decide on the best time to conceive. Or, if you are having problems
conceiving, it may be reassuring to find out that you are coming into a
particularly favorable time. Later, you will be able to use feng shui
astrology to better understand your children’s feelings and behavior.

Moving When you move, you take yourself out of one kind of ki
energy and replant yourself into another, which can have a profound
effect on your life. It is therefore important to try to move in a
direction that takes you into a ki energy that will help you in whatever
you are trying to do in life. Each year a different ki energy will take up
its position in a specific direction. You can then either work out which
directions are best for you in a particular year or which year will be best
for you to move in a particular direction.

 WHAT IS FENG SHUI ASTROLOGY?

Relationships Feng shui astrology can not only help you better
understand another person, it can also show you how compatible
your two ki energies are. You can use it to identify the areas in
which you work well together, as well as to highlight areas of
potential conflict and find ways of preventing problems. It can also
help you decide when to start a relationship, get engaged or
married, and assist you in helping children and coworkers achieve
their full potentials.

Career Feng shui astrology will help you understand the type of
career in which you are most likely to succeed. It will also help you to
work out the best time to make important decisions and changes, or
take new initiatives. Certain times are more practical than others to
start a new career, achieve greater recognition, ask
for a raise, take on a leadership position or,
eventually, retire—this book will help you identify
these times.

Business If you are thinking of starting your own

business, you can use feng shui astrology to help you
plan ahead. The best time to start a business; how to
build a well-balanced team; when to expand, be more
competitive or focus on team building; a good
moment to enter new markets, try to win awards or
increase sales; when to hold PR events; at what point
to float on the stock market, arrange loans or sell the
business; when to develop internal systems or
concentrate on customer relations—all these can be ascertained using
feng shui astrology. You can also use it to assess when and where to set
up subsidiary companies or relocate.

Travel Most times you travel you will have the opportunity to choose
the best day and month to do so. This is essential if the trip is
important in terms of business or family needs, such as going to sign
contracts, purchasing a new property, meeting your parents-in-law
for the first time, giving an important sales talk, attending an
interview, giving a lecture, or planning to propose marriage. Ideally,
you would always be able to travel in favorable directions; however,
in real life this is not always easy to achieve. II you travel frequently,
you should try to use feng shui astrology so that you travel in a
favorable direction more often than you did so before, and that you
avoid the directions that are potentially most harmful.

Principles

Feng shui astrology can help you work out

astrology and therefore make the most of opportunities.

To learn how to do this, however, you first
need to understand the basic concepts of
feng shui astrology. These consist of ki
energy, yin and yang, the five elements, the
eight directions, and the magic square.

n many parts of the world people believe that there is an invisible

energy that flows throughout the universe: through your body, the
food you eat, your home and workplace, and the air that surrounds
you. This energy is known as ki in Japan, chi in China and prana in India.
In this book I will refer to it as ki energy because the particular form of
feng shui astrology I use is predominantly practiced in Japan.
Like other forces of nature, ki energy is not static. It travels from one
person or entity to another through solid matter and through space.
This constant movement means that your personal energy is
continuously intermingling with the ki around you. The premise
underlying feng shui astrology is that by understanding the movement
of ki energy through space—that is, in your surroundings—you can time
your behavior in such a way that the ambient ki mixes compatibly with
your personal ki energy to promote your health and happiness.
To understand the flow of ki energy, we have to examine how it
moves through the universe. Just as the earth sends ripples of ki energy
spiraling out into space, the planets surrounding the earth are also

6
 KI ENERGY 1

absorbing, processing, and radiating ki energy. As the earth revolves

around the sun, its position relative to the other planets changes,
causing the ki energy from these planets to mix with the earth’s ki
energy in different ways every day. Because the movement of the planets
is cyclical, so too is the flow of ki, following a nine-year cycle (and within
that, monthly, daily and even hourly cycles: see also page 108).
According to feng shui astrology, there are nine types of ki energy,
each associated with a particular year, month, day, and hour. The type of
energy prevalent when you were born shapes your character, the way you
do things, and how you lead your life. It also influences how you relate
to other types of ki energy. With the aid of your own personal feng shui Personal ki energy

time for you to do embark on a new endeavor. If you use the
energy to your advantage you will find that it is easier to
achieve certain things, rather like swimming with the tide
rather than against it. Feng shui astrology can provide
you with essential clues as to when to make important
changes or decisions in your life, for example, when to
begin a new job, get married, or move house. It’s biggest
influence is on the timing of events.
It is often said that to be successful in life all you
need is to be in the right place at the right time
and have one good contact and luck. By
learning how to read your birth chart (see
pages 34-73) you can learn how to be in the
right place at the right time and make that
precious bit of luck for yourself!

Energy points in your body

Ki energy flows throughout your body, but it
is concentrated in seven key areas that are
known as chakras. These seven
chakras are situated at the crown
of your head, between your eyes,
at your throat, your heart, solar
plexus, just below your navel, and
at your coccyx.
7
 ana yang
~hese two Oriental words are used to describe the opposite yet
complementary nature of the ki energy flowing through the
universe. Broadly speaking, yin describes a more passive kind of
energy, while yang is active. Yin and yang relate to everything in the
universe, so you and your surroundings are made up of a combination
of these two qualities—some things being more yin, others being more
yang. This is as true for your physical, emotional, and mental states as it
is for the food you eat, the buildings you live and work in, the activities
you pursue, and the lifestyles you create for yourself. Indeed,
practitioners of Chinese medicine base their diagnoses on the
concepts of yin and yang. For example, if a person complained

as Laurel and Hardy, tend to make involve “taking in more yang” by eating more yang
great partners, both professional foods (warming, strengthening foods such as
and personal hearty soups and thick stews), taking more
dynamic yang exercise, and following a
structured, routine lifestyle to reach a more
healthy balanced state.
The concepts of yin and yang help to
explain the cycles of ki energy change that
we all experience. Because ki energy
changes constantly, it is more yin or more
yang at different times of the day, at different
points within the lunar cycle and in different
seasons. Therefore, by understanding how ki
changes over time you can work with the prevailing
ki energy, both to plan ahead better and to address any
problem areas in your life.

Energy changes during the day

Yin and yang change throughout the day; for example, midday has the
most yang atmosphere whereas midnight is most yin. At night ki
energy is more yin, which is ideal for sleep (although some people are
at their most creative during the night and find it a particularly good
time to write poetry or music, or think of ideas for a novel). It is also
a time when you might find it easier to look deep inside yourself for
answers about your life. As the night wears on, the ki energy

 YIN AND YANG

becomes less yin. As the sun comes up over the horizon, a

strong yang ki energy is introduced, which is associated with
getting up, starting a new day and being active. Throughout the
morning the ki becomes increasingly yang, making the early
part of the day a good time for more yang activities, such as
exercising, getting work done, being focused, and starting or
concentrating on new projects. At midday the environmental ki
energy reaches its most yang. However, ki energy quickly
changes to becoming more yin as the sun descends in the sky.
You can use this more settling ki energy for consolidating your

and be sociable. Therefore, this time of the lunar cycle is perfect for
parties, PR events, and exhibitions. On the other hand, the days
preceding a new moon are advantageous for more yin activities
including healing, therapy, and meditation.

Energy changes from season to season

Yin and yang also vary with the seasons, the winter being the most yin
and the summer the most yang. The yin energy of autumn and winter is
good for consolidating gains, being practical, and completing projects,
while the more yang spring and summer are good times to explore new
avenues, be active, and become more ambitious. Furthermore, someone
born in the winter will be more yang in character than someone born in
the summer, because the mother will have eaten a more warming yang
diet during her pregnancy, making her baby more yang.

Certain endeavors are associated with each direction—the
south-east, for example, is linked with creativity while the west
is associated with romance. When trying to achieve a particular
goal, turn to the chart on page 122 to identify the appropriate
direction; you could then try to sleep with the top of your head
pointing in that direction, which may bring success more easily.
Each direction is linked not only to one of the nine

as well as to a particular time and season, during which the ki

the banks of the river, he noticed a tortoise crawl out of the water. On
its back he saw a remarkable pattern of water drops that he was very
struck by. The tortoise’s shell was shaped in a rough square, divided into
nine compartments, and each compartment contained a group of
droplets making a different number between one and nine. What makes
the square a magic one is that the numbers are arranged in such a way
that each line of numbers always adds up to fifteen, whether they are 3 5 7
combined horizontally, vertically, or diagonally (see illustration right).
Fu Hsi later gathered together many scholars to try to create a single
elegant system that took account of all the various prevailing
philosophies. To this end, each of the nine numbers in the magic square
was given a description in terms of yin and yang and was related to one
of the five elements (water, tree, fire, soil, and metal) and one of the
eight directions. As a result, each number has a complete character that
describes its particular type of ki energy. By bringing all this knowledge
together, Fu Hsi helped to create a powerful tool, which was then used
to understand the universe and everything within it. You, too, can access
this power by using feng shui astrology to direct your life.
According to feng shui astrology, you can use the magic square,
which functions as both a map and a timetable, to chart the movements
of your ki energy for each year, month, clay, and hour, so that you can
calculate what to do and when (the year having the greatest influence
and the hour the smallest). Each of the nine numbers ol the magic
square is associated with a particular kind of ki energy. I he
arrangement of the numbers represents the prevailing pattern ol ki
energy in each of the nine years in the cycle (see pages 118-125); the
pattern changes each year and so is represented by a different chart.
The nine numbers of the magic square are associated with nine ol the
most influential stars and planets—the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Jupiter,
Saturn, Mars, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto. The various alignments ol
these heavenly bodies are meant to be reflected in the nine different
patterns of the nine ki numbers (see pages 118-25).

Conversely, if you have the year number three and you

enjoy great success in your early years, it would be wise
to find ways to make this last and to save some of your
wealth for later years.
Your year number will also help define the choices
for a successful, long-term career. We all know that if
you can find a career that enables you to harness your
natural strengths, your ability to reach the top and to
be satisfied is greatly enhanced. If your year number is
nine, for example, you will be well suited to a career in
sales, PR or advertising. For more information on the
qualities of each year number see pages 25-33.

his number relates primarily to the way you think, communicate,

and feel. In this respect, it has the greatest influence on how you
behave on a daily basis and is therefore of primary consideration
in terms of romantic relationships.
Your month number will tell how you can best express your ideas and
emotions. Moreover, you will be able to improve your understanding of
how you communicate with others, which can make or break a relation¬
ship, romantic or otherwise. If you have the month number three, for
example, you probably tend to be frank and to the point. It is not in
your nature to be tactful. A person with the month number four, how¬
ever, may take this style of communication too personally because he or
she is more sensitive. Being aware of and taking into account the nature
of people with month number three can thus reduce feelings of hurt.

 YOUR NINE KI MONTH NUMBER

Let’s consider another example of a couple with the month numbers

nine and five. In terms of the five elements (see pages 10-11) this rela¬
tionship is harmonious. However, the person with the month number
five has a powerful, confrontational expression while the person with
the month number nine tends to react emotionally and somewhat
explosively. Such a relationship can be a recipe for fiery arguments and
emotional upsets, especially if the more confrontational person critic¬
ises his or her partner. In this situation, each partner needs to find a
structured way of communicating when they are upset with the other. It

icism until the following day; in this type of relationship accu¬
sations should never be made in the heat of the moment.
Another important factor that can determine the success of
a relationship is the way in which people connect emotionally.
When this connection is mutual it can lead to a deeper, more
satisfying relationship. When people are not emotionally com¬
patible, they can feel misunderstood, which can lead to a situ¬
ation where every little upset creates a deeper rift. Everyone
can experience all different kinds of emotions, although some
will be felt more powerfully than others. The emotions associ¬

QXIS
he last number in your code is a calculation of your year and
month number and is called the nine ki axis number. It relates to
your most superficial ki energy and often influences someone’s
first impression of you. This ki energy also illustrates how you do things,
which is useful in assessing how you work professionally.
Many people may know you according to your more superficial axis
ki energy because this is what first stands out about someone when you
meet them. You then begin to relate to other people in terms of their
month energies; it is only when you get to know someone much better
that you can appreciate each other in terms of your deeper year ener¬

While your code of three numbers provides

invaluable insights into the different aspects of

your chart yourself, as explained on pages

Step 2: Assess the ki energies of each number

of reading a birth chart depends on being able to interpret how the Step 2

serious relationship but tend to concentrate your efforts on improving
the quality of it in the long term.

Another step in reading your birth chart relies on knowledge of the Compare the element associated

Step 4: Analyze the ki energy flow along each axis
The next step is to observe how easily ki energy moves along each axis

Step 6: Make a note of your month animal

The final factor to consider when reading your birth chart is the
Chinese animals relating to the month you were born. For example, if
you were born on 20 May, you were born in the month of the snake.
Look at the chart opposite to find out which animal relates to which
month. The chart on the far right shows the direction related to each
animal. Remember, in feng shui astrology, the months start four to nine

ach of the nine numbers in feng shui astrology has a certain char-
——- acter or “energy.” The following pages help you to build up an
_appreciation of each type of energy by likening it to a different
feature of nature, such as earth, thunder, wind, heaven, lake, and moun¬
tain. This is most helpful if you have experienced the atmosphere they
relate to, for example, being out in a thunderstorm or strong wind,
climbing a mountain, working with the earth, or sitting by a lake.
However, you will need to use your imagination for heaven! Each ki
energy is associated with an element (water, tree, fire, soil, and metal),
a direction, a time of day, a season, a trigram (see opposite), and a
family member in a traditional Eastern household. It is important to
familiarize yourself with the attributes of each energy or number as this
knowledge will help you to interpret your birth chart (see pages 34-73).

Directions, times, and seasons

The directions are best understood by thinking of the sun’s position in
the sky, and are linked to the times of day. This is largely governed by
 THE NINE DIFFERENT ENERGIES

the movement of the sun through the sky. The east relates to
the sun rising, the south to the sun at its highest point in the
sky, the west to the sunset and the north to darkness. The north¬
east, southeast, southwest, and northwest each represent the
change from one state to another. 1 middle son 2 mother
By experiencing the atmosphere of each season, you can
also gain an insight into the kind of ki energy that makes up a
person’s character. A person with a winter ki energy, for exam¬
ple, will be very different to a person with a summer ki energy.
The months refer to the period in each year when each type
of ki energy is at its highest. For example, during December 4 eldest daughter

when the nine ki months begin and end.

Colors

resents the dawn and spring. To feel this ki energy, you would have
to go out at sunrise to a quiet location in the springtime. Ideally, you
would be surrounded by trees and tall grasses. As you stood still, you
would be aware of the presence of fresh young spring buds, dew rising
thunder from the grass, and everything in nature generally waking up around you.
The overriding impression is of a new beginning and rising ki energy. In
tree this environment, it would be easier to feel that another day is in front of
you, presenting new opportunities for you to embrace. The atmosphere is
east conducive to being positive, ambitious, and confident. The newness of
this energy encourages you to be active, generate ideas, and focus your
dawn mind on particular thoughts.
(0500-0700) The number three is also a helpful ki energy for concentrating on
details. In the right environment, you not only can generate new, ambi¬
spring tious ideas, but you also can actively set about putting them into action. It
is generally a forward-thinking energy that is focused on the future.
As this ki energy relates to the beginning of something, it is easy for
someone with this nine ki year energy to make a quick start and achieve
success early on in his or her life. There is a tendency to keep starting new
projects, and this can lead to a
situation where something is not
worked through to a profitable
conclusion before another is
started. Someone with this nine

tend to be too focused and over¬

lead to missed opportunities.

Now that you know how to calculate your nine

ki numbers and construct and read your birth

astrology chart, you can use nine ki astrology to help in

three particular areas of your life. These are:

choosing the right partner, moving in an

auspicious direction, and planning important

events, such as starting a business or a family,

so they occur at the most propitious time.

reationshins
B y comparing two people’s code of nine ki numbers you can use
feng shui astrology to help determine the compatibility of a
relationship. To do this, first look at your nine ki year number
and that of your potential partner, and judge how they mix in terms of
ki energy (see pages 14-19 and pages 25-33) and the five elements (see
page 10). The nine ki year numbers provide clues as to how you relate
on a deeper level and over a longer period of time. Then repeat this
process for your nine ki month numbers and your nine ki axis numbers.
The month numbers reveal how you communicate with each other and
how you get on emotionally. The axis numbers suggest how you might
do things or work together.

Comparing numbers
The chart on the right and on pages 95-106 gives a short description of
each type of relationship between every nine ki number. I have written
it as though the people are in a romantic relationship, but you can
interpret the description so that it is appropriate for any relationship,

whether it is with a member of your family, a business partner, or a

friend. In each case you should read the full description of the nine ki
code numbers on pages 25-33 and the full birth charts found on pages
34-73 so that you get the complete picture of the character of the
person in question.
The advantages and disadvantages point out key issues to look
for. Ideally, we should all build our relationships on the positive
characteristics we can share and minimize exposing each other to more
destructive elements. In this respect, the disadvantages may show you
how you can avoid spoiling a new relationship. If you are already in a
long-term relationship and are experiencing problems, nine ki can help
you make a more honest appraisal and resolve your differences by
accepting each other’s unique characteristics.

very year, month, and clay has its own prevailing ki energy,
-called ambient energy. This energy can subtly affect your
-own year ki energy. For example, when you try to perform
a task at a time when ambient ki energy is auspicious for you, it
is likely to be easier to accomplish. But when the ki energy is
working against you, you will find that success is more difficult
or the task takes much more effort. If you repeatedly try to
achieve a goal at a time when the prevailing ki energy is
detrimental to your own ki energy, you are most likely to give
up and feel a failure. This can color the perception you have of
yourself and may ultimately result in diminished expectations.
The key to avoiding this negative cycle is to look at the ki
energy of the coming months and years, and plan ahead so that you can An addition at the right time

experiencing difficulties or you’re not at your peak, you are more likely
to notice the benefits of doing things at a time when the ambient ki
energy is compatible with your goal. The principle for everyone is to
ensure that the ambient ki energy is working for you rather than against
you. This will help you do more in life with less effort.

Prevailing year ki energy

The most influential ambient ki energy is that of the year. If you look at
the year charts on the following page, you will notice that every year,
your own nine ki year number is in a different position. The ki energy
of each position on the chart will influence you in a different way,
making it easier for you to achieve certain things at certain times. For
example, if your nine ki year number is four, it is easier for you to start
new projects, such as a business or career, when four is in the eastern
direction (as it is in the year 2003). Once you know which direction your
nine ki year number occupies in any given year, you can plan new
ventures so that you have the optimum chance of success.
The year charts are referred to by their central number and each
year, the number at the center of the chart descends by one. For
example, the year 2000 is a nine year, 2001 an eight year, 2002 a seven

 TIMING EVENTS

Entering phases
The direction that your nine ki vear number occupies on a vear chart is
known as a “phase,” so if your nine ki year number is to the west of the
year chart, you will be in the western phase. This phase determines the
influences on your life during the vear in question. Remember, because
the feng shui calendar begins around 4 February, if vou are planning an
event in January 2003, you need to refer to the vear chart that relates to
2002 (the seven vear chart). See the timing box on pages 77-93 for
further information on how you will feel in each phase and which nine
ki vear numbers will benefit most.
There are two situations where vou need to be particularly careful.
The first and most significant is when your vear number is opposite the
powerful force of five. In the vear 2000, five is to the north and four,
situated in the south, is opposite five. If vour nine ki vear number is
four, you are likelv to feel blocked, stressed, and out of control if you try
to move forward. It is therefore wiser in 2000 to position \ ourself so that

vou run the risk of situations getting out of control—small problems can

phase of five, it is a useful time to let opportunities come to you. \ou will

pages 114-15 before embarking on an\ life-changing events.

Continuity of ki energy
When planning ahead with nine ki astrology it is important to think in
terms of several rears to get the full benefit. To take one year in isolation
and expect the full effect of that ki energy is not realistic. Ideally, you
will enter each new phase from a position of power having used the
previous phase to its full effect. II you enter the west phase with se\eie
financial problems, for example, this will detract from youi ability to

109
APPLYING FENG SHUI ASTROLOGY

make it a financially prosperous year. The idea is to give yourself about

three or four years to make a powerful change. If you want to start a new
business in the east phase, for example, you should use the preceding
north and southwest phases to lead into the east. The north phase would
be useful for thinking about your business ideas in a more objective
manner while keeping your options open. The southwest would then be
helpful for research, gaining practical experience, and for finding
useful long-term contacts. With all this in place, your chances of making
a success of your new venture during the east phase will be enhanced.
You also will have the following phase of the southeast to help expand
and establish your business.
There are two major times of change in each nine-year cycle: during
the phase of five and when your number moves from the south of the
chart to the north. This leaves two four-year periods during which you
can build up continuity in your life. The first is north, southwest, east,
and southeast. The second is northwest, west, northeast, and
south. Sometimes it is helpful to plan ahead in four-year
chunks using this system.

Couples, families, and teams

If you want to know the most auspicious time for an event that
involves other people, you need to decide whose year number
is more important. Ideally, it is the person who has the largest
influence and who is most likely to determine the fortunes of
the others. A couple preparing a wedding or thinking about
starting a family needs to take equal account of both partners’
year numbers. Similarly, in a business partnership where each
person has equal ownership and control, you would ideally find

considered first and foremost. The charts on pages 111-13 list the phases or directions for each event
in order of preference, so to have the greatest chance of success, you
should choose a time when your year number is in the first direction.
The next best situation would be if your year number is in the
equivalent month phase. For example, if you want to start a family, pick
a time when your year number is the northern phase. If you have the
year or month number five, the year 2000 would be a good year, andjuly
would be a good month, because year number five will be in the north.

Disharmonious phases
One final aspect that you need to conside.r when making major deci¬
sions in your life is your disharmonious phase. This is an unsettled
period in which you should not do anything of major importance and,
in particular, anything that has a lasting influence on your life, such as
getting married, starting a business, or making a major investment for
the future. The disharmonious phase relates to two years, two months
and four hours of the day in every 12-year, 12-month, or 24-hour cycle,
and is determined by your date of birth as follows.
The ancient Chinese calendar is divided up into two cycles. The first
is a 10-day cycle in which each day is associated with a yin or yang ele¬
ment, known as the stem. The second is a 12-day cycle in which each day
is assigned one of the 12 astrological animals (see page 37), known as
the branch. (These same cycles also apply to months and years.) Every

month and, to lesser extent, the day and hour are favorable.

he timing and direction of a move can have a major impact on
your ki energy. This is because your personal ki energy mixes more
positively with the ki energies associated with some directions than
it does with others. And because the pattern of ki changes from one year
to the next, the directions that are favorable to you will also change. By
moving in a favorable or supportive direction, you may find it easier to
make the most of your personal ki energy, whereas moving in a direction
with a more destructive ki energy can cause a negative effect.
To help you understand how this process works, imagine
moving a plant. First of all, you would take the plant out of its
existing soil in a way that does not harm it. Then you would
replant it at a time of year that encourages it to become estab¬
lished in its new environment. Finally, you would make sure it
was planted in the kind of soil that encourages it to grow well.
If all these stages are beneficial for the plant, it will thrive in its
new location and could grow even more quickly than before.
We are just the same: wherever we live, our ki energy mixes with
the ki energy of the local environment in the same way that a
plant’s roots learn how to live in its surrounding soil. When you
leave one place it is almost as though you literally pull your
roots out of the soil—you pull your personal ki energy out of
the local ki energy to which you have become accustomed.

Moves to encourage your aims

The interaction of different types of ki energies has the biggest
effect when you are moving to a new house. Flowever, the inter¬
action of personal and local ki energy can also influence the
outcome of other types of moves, such as a new job or any type

own ki energy is more likely to cause you to wither, just like a seed plant¬
ed in the wrong season. The feng shui secret to fulfilling the dreams you
hold for the future is to plant these dreams at a time and in a place
where they can flower into reality.
The same principle applies to renovations. As you change your home
or work space you alter the ki energy in that part of the building. If the
direction in which the change happens is favorable for you at the time,
the result will be positive with a harmonious mixture of ki energy. But if
it involves a direction where the ki energy is not harmonious with your
personal ki energy at the time, you may run into unexpected difficulties.

 MOVES

Nine ki years and colors

Every nine ki year number relates to
a color, shown right. If your color is
listed under one of the directions in
the chart on the left, this direction is
considered a favorable move for you. H
When you travel, you move not only into the ki energy of a particular
direction, but also into the ki energy of a particular number. (An excep¬
tion to this is during years when the number five is at the center of the
year chart. At these times the ki energy of the direction and the number
will be the same. See also page 123.) If you move southeast in the year
2000, for example, you will be moving not only into the ki energy of the
southeast, but also into the ki energy associated with eight, making you
feel more creative and motivated. The chart on page 122 lists the bene¬
fits you could hope for when moving in each of the eight directions.
These should be considered in conjunction with the ki energy of the
number that is in each direction (see pages 72-93). Remember, to
experience any of the benefits you need to move in a direction that is
favorable for your year number in the year that you are moving.

Harmful directions
Every year, there are directions that are unfavorable for everyone. You
will see on the chart opposite, for example, that nobody is advised to
move north, east, south, or west-northwest in 2000. But before making a
decision, bear in mind that there are seven additional types of moves
that can be potentially harmful, as listed below in order of importance.
The first four have the potential to cause the greatest harm: traveling
toward or away from five or your own nine ki year number may begin a
process that gets worse over the years. The last three are less harmful:
traveling away from the most active animal that year, toward a number
opposite its normal position, or into a five element that is not harmo¬
nious to your nine ki year number will begin a process that will fade
away. To do this, write out the appropriate chart of the year or month
you are planning to move (see page 108) and assess the following:

Moving toward five Beware of moving in a direction that takes you

toward the number five in the nine ki chart of any year. In the year 2000,
for example, five is in the north. Moving north in this year is considered
dangerous because five is the most powerful energy and can lead to
unpredictable results and stress, causing the gradual deterioration of
your health, business, or career.

are moving away from a potentially destructive force, which can weaken

accidents, injuries, and robberies. You may feel as though you are in a
vacuum with less energy than usual.

Moving toward your year number Traveling into your own ki ener¬

into a direction that already has the same ki energy, you can become
confused and unsettled, making it hard to be decisive or clear minded.
Simple events can also turn out unnecessarily complicated.

cause events to go awry. For example, in the year 2000, seven is to the
east. In the standard chart of the magic square, seven is to the west, so
in the year 2000 seven is opposite its normal position. So anyone mov¬
ing east in the year 2000 would ideally keep his or her options open and
make alternative arrangements should things not work out as planned.

Moving toward a disharmonious element Your nine ki year num¬

ber is associated with one of the five elements (see page 10). If you move
in a direction that has an element that is not in harmony with the
APPLYING FENG SHUI ASTROLOGY

element of your year number, it can create turbulent ki energy. For

example, if you have the nine ki year number one, the element related
to your year number is water. If you move toward numbers in a year
chart that have fire or soil elements, such as two, five, eight, and nine,
your personal ki energy will be mixing with surrounding ki energy that
has disharmonious elements.

Solving bad moves

If, after reading this book, you discover that your new home is in an
unfavorable direction for you, don’t despair as there are several ways to
reorient your ki energy. For example, if you have recently moved toward
or away from the direction of the nine ki number five or your own nine
ki year number, you can move temporarily in a beneficial direction,
sleep there every night for three months (which is long enough to estab¬
lish your ki energy there), then return to your permanent home in a
favorable direction. If you move to another continent temporarily to
reorient your ki energy, sleeping there every night for two months is suf¬
ficient. Ideally, during your time away you would sleep in the same loca¬
tion every night. An example of reorienting your ki energy is if you have
the nine ki year number one and it is the year 2000 (when nine is the
central number of the chart). Southwest or northeast are both favorable
directions for you so you should move temporarily in one of these direc¬
tions. Remember, it is hot the route you use to get to a new location
(temporary or permanent) but where you were originally and where
your final destination is that should be considered when calculating if a
move is favorable or not. Also, the greater the distance you move, the
stronger and quicker the effects.
Another potential solution if you have moved in an unfavorable
direction—though probably not an option for everyone—is to travel all
the way around the world in a favorable direction. On returning, you
would need to sleep in your home every night for two months before
traveling again. For example, in the year 2001 when eight is the central
number, someone with the year number seven cotdd travel favorably
around the world in an eastern direction. To make this and my previous
suggestion worthwhile, you should also find the best months and days to
travel. This applies only when you can travel east or west.
If neither of these remedies are practical for you, the next-best
solution is to make sure that the first journey you make each day is in a
favorable direction for you. If you have the nine ki year number three,
for example, and it is the year 2007 (when two is the central number)
you should travel daily from your home to a destination in the east.
Ideally, you should spend twenty minutes in the favorable direction

124
 MOVES

before moving on, so if this first journey takes you away

from your main destination of the day (your office, for
example), consider taking a walk to a local park or having
an early morning coffee at a cafe that is situated in the cor¬
rect direction before heading off for work.

Making changes to your home

Whether you are planning to build an extension, convert a
a loft, carry out renovations, or simply redecorate a room,
the principles of timing events and moving in a beneficial
direction can also be applied when starting these projects.
The aim is to alter the flow of ki energy in a part of your
home at a time that will be advantageous for you. For
instance, if you were to move your bed so that it faced a
more favorable direction, it would be advisable to do this at
a time when the ki energy of the new direction is favorable for you. Establishing new ki energy

should install it in the east at a time when the ki energy of the water will
grow and develop.
To find favorable times to make changes to your home, locate the
chart for the year or month concerned (see page 108). Write the num¬
bers of that year onto your compass of the eight directions. Highlight
the whole axis with the number five and your own year number. If other
people live with you, highlight their numbers as well. If you are a fami¬
ly consider only the parents’ year numbers or the main wage earner’s.
Reproduce the compass on a plan of your home, making sure that the
northern direction lines up with north on your plan. Check which parts
of your home are covered by the axis containing five and your year num¬
ber, and avoid making any significant changes to these areas. This aspect
of feng shui astrology can also be used to predict the areas of your home
most likely to have problems in a given year, month or day. If foreseen,
you can use feng shui solutions to prevent them from occurring.
