I was looking at a thread on Probability and Luck and it showed variable results (worked moderately well for me) but was wondering if there were elements that could be incorporated into this. Some of the existing fields so far:
-
Probability and Luck Alteration
-
Attract Good Fortune and Miracles
-
Attract Wealth, Prosperity and Abundance
-
A Life of Magical Abundance
-
Amplify/Nullify Planetary Effects
-

I’ve studied luck for quite a while, training under a Feng Shui teacher (student of Grandmaster Yap Cheng Hai, one of the most revered Feng Shui masters, and Lillian Too) which specialises in the management of luck. Luck in the Taoist system can be separated into:
-
Tien / Heavenly luck: Determined before birth as to the capacity of how far an individual can reach in terms of scope and potential. This is normally a person’s planetary influence or their elementary inclinations (measured by Ba Zi or also called Eight Characters).
-
Di / Earthly luck: Environmental chi flow in the surroundings, which can also include other beings residing in the same region. This is the realm of Feng Shui.
-
Ren / Human luck: Karmic tendencies as a consequence of actions, words and thoughts that we do on a daily basis.
Simply put, Heaven luck is like the seed of a plant, Earth luck is like the soil, and Human luck is the action of water and caring for the plant as it grows.
We often talk about Law of attraction and all that, and it’s mostly to do with just the human luck level, and perhaps a bit of Heavenly luck. But Earthly luck remains largely untouched.
My teacher gave many examples of how small rearrangement of things have huge effects on the human psyche subconsciously and can produce tremendous effects. For example, a man with a staircase that looked like a cock-screw suffered tremendous bad luck for many years - divorce, family breaking, bankrupcy, failed businesses, etc.
At first glance it might seem quite ‘woo-woo’, but real Feng Shui has a lot to do with feeling the actual energetic flow of the environment.
One example often given is that the front door of a house should never be facing anything that sends fast-moving chi (‘sha qi’ or murderous chi). We call these ‘poison arrows’ - things like sharp/pointy things viewable from the front door, or having a road that points directly to your front door. (Roads are taken as modern fast-moving rivers, and fast-moving rivers are traditionally used to indicate gushing chi flow)
Some examples:
All of these are intricately linked with what we call the Yi-Jing (I-Ching) which is an amazing method of observing transformations across the universe and its interactions. It’s widely used in chinese medicine, astronomy, divination, etc.
Feng Shui Schools
Feng Shui nowadays is an immense body of knowledge built and developed over the years, in order:
-
Form school
- Emphasis on forms
- Eight Mansion theory
-
Compass school
- emphasis on directions
- Based on the Five Elements (fire, water, metal, wood, earth)
- chi flows in certain directions that can be favorable or unfavorable depending on one’s “Gua number” (disposition).
- Also includes influences that change according to time (eg. 3 Killing Influences)
-
Flying Star school (Xuan Kong)
- emphasis on the time dimension
- studies how the stars move across time and affect a person’s luck
- Predicts luck every yearly/monthly cycle
- Uses the Lo Shu Square and Ba Gua
- Based on Form and Compass school but is the highest priority, so it overrides them
Generic Types of Environmental Chi
There are broadly speaking, two types of chi Feng Shui is concerned about:
-
Sheng Chi (Dragon’s Cosmic Breath) is treated as auspicious, virtuous chi that brings good luck
- Normally found in meandering curves, like in beautiful streams, valleys
- Sign of healthy environmental energy
- Normally a place where life flourishes and feels restored
-
Sha Chi (Murderous Chi) is when Sheng Chi is forced to move quickly and in straight lines, becoming excessively destructive
Compare the energy of these two pictures to get an idea:
Purpose of Feng Shui
It is basically how we can rearrange the environment to reduce the influence of Murderous Chi and promote the Dragon’s Cosmic Breath.
The Form school uses forms to accomplish this.
The Compass school uses a person’s Gua number to determine which direction is best and worst for them:
-
Gua is calculated as taking the last two digits of your year of birth, adding them together until you form a single number, then adding 5 to it. Add the numbers to form a single digit if double digit.
- Eg. 1979
- → 7 + 9 = 16 (last 2 nos added)
- → 1 + 6 = 7
- → 7 + 5 = 13 (5 added)
- → 1 + 3 = 4
- Gua number is 4
- Eg. 1979
-
-
Using this knowledge, we often strive to sleep in correct directions, sit facing right directions, have the door of the room face the right direction, etc. The least is to avoid facing a horrible direction.
The Flying Star school is much more complicated and is based on the movement of energy across the lo shu square:
This pattern is called the “Flying Star”. It is also found in Jewish and Hindu mysticism as a protective symbol.
The center of the Lo Shu square is what determines the period. In the example above, this is Period 5. Following the direction of the flying star, we then order 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 3, 4.
The time periods are as follows:
- 1864-1883 = Period 1
- 1884-1903 = Period 2
- 1904-1923 = Period 3
- 1924-1943 = Period 4
- 1944-1963 = Period 5
- 1964-1983 = Period 6
- 1984-2003 = Period 7
- 2004-2023 = Period 8 ←we are here
- 2024-2043 = Period 9
- 2044… = Period 1 (cyclically continuing)
As you can see, we are currently approaching the end of Period 8.
Many problems exist when people’s homes are energetically structured for Period 7 and Period 8 came. So expect when 2024 hits to have a radical change in your home’s environmental luck. This can come about as massive fights in the house inhabitants, business/romance problems etc.
The really confusing part is after all this, where we involve more than just one star - We have the Mountain Star (relationship/health/family/mental) and Water Star (wealth/prosperity) and how they fly according to the Flying Star shape. If people are interested I can talk about it next time lol.
Energetic Practice of Feng Shui
Real grandmasters may use theory but they also develop their own energy sensitivity to environmental chi flow. For example, my friend’s teacher is able to just walk into a room and tell immediately what is wrong about the house. Just a simple rearrangement works, and if we can open the third-eye it would be even more effective.
Yes, all those words just to appeal for a Feng Shui optimising field… xD As you can see, it holds a huge percentage of a person’s luck too.
We could have a shield around our home or body to deflect or neutralise ‘poison arrows’ (murderous chi), or to enhance the flow of the Dragon’s cosmic breath. We could also potentially have ‘feng shui cures’ to deflect negative influences from shifting stars and enhance positive influences.
Or maybe… all of this is already covered in the luck audios?
