Feng Shui, still relatively unknown in Japan, is spreading worldwide.
Flying Star Feng Shui, which originated in ancient China, has been passed down to the present day by Chinese communities who migrated to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia.
Today, IFSA (International Feng Shui Association) certified Feng Shui Masters are active not only in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia but also in countries such as India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Romania, Ukraine, Turkey, and the United States.
Flying Star Feng Shui examines how nine Flying Stars arriving from the cosmos are distributed within a building. By enhancing auspicious stars that bring good fortune and weakening ominous stars that bring bad luck, this Feng Shui practice aims to enhance the luck of the residents.
The most significant feature of this Feng Shui practice lies in the fact that the nature of these Stars changes over time.
These changes occur every 20 years. The last significant change occurred around 2004. If around that time you suddenly experienced a drop in business revenue, income reduction, or declining health, it could be attributed to changes in the energy (Flying Stars) within the building.
The next energy of the Flying Star change will begin in 2024 and its effects will continue until 2043.
A person's fortune is not solely determined by their residence. Similarly, the success of a shop or company isn't solely dictated by the Feng Shui of the building itself. The fortune of the business owner or manager has a significant influence.
By examining the eight Chinese characters (Four Luck Pillars) derived from one's date and time of birth, one can understand what kind of year it will be and predict the fortune for each decade. This helps determine one's current and future fortune, including strengths and weaknesses in luck and health.
Times of fortune protected by Guardian Angels
Times of increased popularity and romantic luck
Times of frequent movement and travel
Times of easily occurring changes
Times when hidden secrets or dangers are likely to surface
Feng Shui is the practice of arranging the environment to maximize heavenly luck. By knowing one's current fortune from their date of birth and adjusting the environment using Flying Star Feng Shui, it's possible to maximize auspicious luck and minimize negative influences.
There was a time when Feng Shui became a trend. I remember seeing shelves filled with books on Feng Shui for cleaning, purification, warding off misfortune, and even matchmaking. The Feng Shui section has since disappeared, replaced now by numerous spiritual books. These books often promote ideas that fervently wishing for something can make it happen, that miracles occur, and that visualization leads to realization.
Is there a significant difference between those who bought Feng Shui books during the trend and those now picking up spiritual books? Perhaps not so much. Belief in the power of strong desires to make dreams come true does hold some truth.
People tend to feel more hopeful and see dreams materialize when their luck is good. Looking at the Four Luck Pillars charts of celebrities, it's evident that they often seize opportunities during periods of exceptionally good fortune, often under the protection of guardian angels.
During times of weak fortune, health issues are common, and negative thoughts prevail, making it difficult to hold onto dreams and hopes. In such times, it's important to adjust Feng Shui to minimize negative influences and prepare for the next wave of good fortune.
