The relationship between the zodiacs 十二生肖的关系

 很多人不懂其实十二生肖的关系很容易明白, 什么生肖与你不和或有缘, 我们可以一目了然….

你只要把十二生肖排成一个圈子, 老鼠放下面, 顺时钟, 对面相对立就是相冲, 因此羊坐太岁, 对面相对立是牛, 所以牛是冲太岁, 羊对面相对立是牛, 所以牛冲羊, 马冲老鼠, 以此类推.

In fact, many people do not understand the relationship between the zodiacs is very easy to understand. Which zodiac is my friend and which zodiac is my enemy, we can know it at a glance....

You just have to arrange the entire zodiac in a circle, by first putting the mouse at the bottom, clockwise, the opposite is opposed to clash, so sheep sits opposite is opposed to ox. Thus, goat / sheep clashes ox/ cow. Horse clash mouse, and so on. They are enemies.

 很多人问我他与什么生肖有缘, 是好朋友? 为什么鸡, 牛和蛇有缘? 其实很简单, 看看上面的图里的三角形就明白, 这是生肖三合.

1.       鸡, 牛和蛇三合金.

2.       鼠, 龙和猴三合水.

3.       免, 羊和猪三合木.

4.       马, 狗和虎三合火.

A lot of people ask me what is his destined zodiac, is a good friend? Why do the rooster, ox and snakes destined? Actually it is very simple. Look at the chart above. Those in the triangle is the zodiac triple or 3 combination

1 Rooster, ox and snake three form metal / gold element.

2. Rat, Dragon and Monkey triple water element.

3. Rabbit, sheep and pig triple plant element.

4. horse, dog and tiger triple fire element.

They are friends.

上面的图是生肖二合或六合The above figure is the zodiac 2 or 6 combination. They are friends.

上面的图是生肖六害,相害一般上指的是是非小人相害. The above figure is the zodiac six harms, which is generally mean that harmful people that cause argument.

话虽如此，但这并不意味着所有那些有相冲生肖关系都不能成为朋友。那些3合也未必必须是对彼此非常好的。我这些年来都遇到很多恩爱夫妻是生肖相冲的，但他们是完美OK的, 只是夫妻之间偶尔一些争吵是在所难免的。

我要强调，我们应该只把生肖年运程作为参考之用罢了，因为它仅仅是基于一个人的出生年份来分析一个人运程。让所有在同一年出生都共享相同的运程是不符合逻辑的. 如果要更准确，最好是分析一个人的整体生辰八字，因为生辰八字会包括你出生的年，月，日，时, 那从它我们可以获得更多数据或资讯。它就类似，如果你去请医生诊断，为了更精准，医生会进行血液检查，CT扫描，X射线等，以获得更多数据或资讯，而非仅仅检查你的体温罢了. 仅是基于出生年份来分析一个人运程就好比仅仅检查你的体温罢了, 小病还无妨, 但如遇大病就不行了.

Having said that, it does not mean all those that have clash or harm relationship cannot be friends. Neither those 3 combination must be very good to each other. I have come across many loving couples who are zodiac clash but they are perfectly fine just that there must be some arguments between the couple which is OK. It is important to study the bazi, but the zodiac.

I would like to highlight to you that you should only take the zodiac horoscope as reference only because it is ONLY based on the year of birth to analyze what is going to expect for a person. It is illogical to have all those who are born in the year of rat to share the same fortune in 2015. To be more accurate, it is better to read your bazi as a whole as there will be more data to be obtained from the bazi which include the year, month, day and hour that you were born. It is similar to if you go for a doctor for diagnosing, for accuracy, the doctor will go for blood screening, CT scan, x-ray and etc to have a more precious information than just to check your body temperature solely, isn’t it?

House Shifting and Earth Breaking Ceremonies after 4 Feb 2015立春

2015年立春 Li Chun 4 Feb 15 12.09pm is the actual day and time for us to enter into the year of GOAT, not the 1st day of Chinese New Year 19 Feb 15 正月初一. Thus, the baby who is born after 4 Feb 2014 12:09pm is a goat already.

If you are going to shift to your new house, you have to select auspicious dates & time according to the bazi (time of birth) of the family members and facing of the house for two very important dates i.e. Earth Breaking Date and House Shifting Date. After the date has been determined, a simple ceremony can be carried out. It is vital to conduct the ceremony to show our respect to the Earth and the surrounding.

Earth Breaking Date

1. Firstly, prepare 4 sets of fruits (apple, Mandarin orange or orange, banana and pear), some sweets and 3 cups of Chinese tea.

2. Put the things at 4 different locations i.e. North West, South East, North East and South West of your house. Hence, there should be 4 sets of fruits, some sweets and 3 cups of Chinese tea at 4 different locations respectively.

3. For those who use joss stick, pray and put them onto the fruits until they have completed burning. For those who do not use joss stick, just pray at the sectors. Say your wishes when you pray.

4. The schedule of praying is from North West; follow by South East, then North East and lastly the South West.

5. Break a small piece of the wall.

However, after 4 Feb 2014, you should avoid breaking the wall at the below locations:-

1. West sector of your house – 5 yellow 五黃位.

2. West sector of your house – 3 killings 三煞位

3. South West sector of your house – Grand Duke太岁位

4. North East sector of your house – Year breaker岁破位

所谓不可在太岁头上动土In short, you should not ‘touch’ the South West, North East and West prior ‘touching’ other places. This is to show that we ‘respect them’. After breaking the small piece at the correct place, you can proceed to renovate any other places. For the year of goat, you can break the small piece of wall at the places other than the places that mentioned earlier. In another word, you can ONLY start the renovation after the ceremony.

It is crucial to maintain a peaceful mind when the ceremony is being carried out. No argument should be taken place during the ceremony. Pray with a sincere and pure heart. You can consume the fruits after the prayer.

Shifting Ceremony

1. Firstly, prepare 4 sets of fruits (apple, Mandarin orange or orange, banana and pear), some sweets and 3 cups of Chinese tea.

2. Put the things at 4 different locations i.e. North West, South East, North East and South West of your house. Hence, there should be 4 sets of fruits, some sweets and 3 cups of Chinese tea at 4 different locations respectively.

3. For those who use joss stick, pray and put them onto the fruits until they have completed burning. For those who do not use joss stick, just pray at the sectors. Say your wishes when you pray.

4. The schedule of praying is from North West; follow by South East, then North East and lastly the South West. (Step 1-4 is the same as the earth breaking ceremony but you can pray to the ancestors and Heaven 神 for the shifting ceremony)

5. After the prayers, you should place 柴米油鹽酱醋茶 cooking material such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea leaves into the kitchen. Subsequently, boil a kettle of water or cook something to symbolize that you have started to occupy the kitchen and the house.

6. Activate the qi of the house by switching on all the lights and fans.

7. It is superb if you can hold a house-warming party to gain more qi of the human when there are lots of laughter and children praying around the house.

8. It is crucial to maintain a peaceful mind when the ceremony is being carried out. No argument should be taken place during the ceremony. Pray with a sincere and pure heart.

Please refer to my book, “How to Enjoy your life with Good Feng Shui?”  http://www.penangfengshui.com/index.php?pages=book_enjoyyourlife_ebook

Page 208 - 212 for details. 

Again, it is crucial to maintain a peaceful mind when the ceremony is being carried out. No argument should be taken place during the ceremony. Pray with a sincere and pure heart.

李老师2015羊年预测 part 4 : 西方没有发现好的迹象 Master Lee's 2015 Year of Goat Prediction part 4 : No good sign can be found for the West, hence it is bad for the USA and Europe at the West.

八运飞星图 The Period 8 Flying Star

2015 流年飞星图 The 2015 annual flying star chart.

•             我们也可以把八运飞星图和2015流年飞星图拿来做比较就也可以预测新一年所将发生的事情. We can predict the outcome of 2015 goat year by comparing the period 8 flying star chart with the 2015 annual flying star chart.

•             2015流年飞星图一白水星桃花星在东方, 而八运飞星图东方为六白武曲星, 六白武曲星为金因此在东方的日本和台湾的展望不错. The star no 1 white water of the 2015 annual flying star chart is at the East and the star no 6, gold of the period 8 flying star chart is also at the East. Gold grows or produces water, thus that help Japan and Taiwan at the East.

•             八运飞星图一白水星在西方而2015流年飞星图西方为凶星五黄土星, 土克水因此美国与欧洲地区将有与水和土的灾害.  The star no 1 white water of the period 8 flying star chart and the 2015 annual flying star chart 5 yellow earth are all at the West.  Again, this sign is bad for the USA and Europe at the West because the earth clashes the water.

•             八运飞星图凶星五黄土星在西南, 而2015流年飞星图九紫火星在西南, 火生土使凶星五黄土星更旺因此南美洲有灾难. In the period 8 chart, the most inauspicious 5 earth star is at the Southwest and the annual 2015 chart, 9 fire star is at the Southwest too. The fire star makes the earth stronger therefore South America may have some disasters.

Some Japanese do believe in feng shui

 Mount Fuji (富士山 Fujisan)

 Good Water

 Osaka City is surrounded by beautiful hills and water.

 

 日本东京浅草观音寺 Asakusa Senso Ji Temple

 Kyoto Kiyomizu Temple京都清水寺

京都金阁寺 Kyoto Kinkakuji Temple

Todaiji Temple, Nara奈良东大寺

 Osaka Castle

From the book shop in Osaka Japan is proven again that some Japanese do believe in feng shui and bazi reading.

It was a great pleasure to travel around Japan this winter and experienced for myself the feng shui of Japan. Japan is at the Far East of the Earth and is the first country to see the Sun when the Sun rises, hence Sun is the auspicious symbol to the Japanese. You can find that the symbol of the Sun is at the national flat of the Japanese. In Later Heaven Bagua, East is plant and Sun, the grand fire. The plant produces and makes the fire of Sun stronger.

Mount Fuji (富士山 Fujisan) is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft) is the 太极山 of Japan which forms 廉贞星 hill shape. 廉贞星 is with sharp tip and triangle shape. The shape is like fire and hence it is like an arrogant, strong and aggressive man. This makes the Japanese men always like to act arrogant, strong and aggressive. In the history of Japan, warrior, army, ninja and samurai make an important role in the development of the country.

山管人丁水管财，山灵人杰，山有灵气就会出现豪杰，古人曰："山不在高，有仙則名; 水不在深，有龍則靈" , 有好水就会有财气. In feng shui, mountain governs the people and water governs the wealth. In Japan, it is apparent that the hills and mountains are beautiful and the water is clear. It is a country surrounded by beautiful hills and water. A clear example is the Osaka City. It is surrounded by beautiful hills and water. The hills produce talented people and water produces great wealth for Japan.

Also, you will notice the influences of Chinese feng shui belief in the buildings structural in Japan. Many old temples and castles were build according to this concept whereby in the ‘Before Heaven Bagua”, South is Sky or Heaven, hence facing the South is considered a very auspicious direction. One of the good examples is the Forbidden City in Beijing is facing the South. Of all the temples and castles that I visited in Japan are all facing the South. They all try to follow the left green dragon, right white tiger, front red phoenix and back black turtle as their building landscape characteristics.  

Confucius said 面南而治天下 face the South to rule the World. Of course, in term of geography studies, it is always good to face the South as the cool wind during winter from the North will not flow into the house directly if a house is facing the South.

Nara (奈良市 Nara-shi) is the capital city of Nara Prefecture located in the Kansai region of Japan. The city occupies the northern part of Nara Prefecture, directly bordering Kyoto Prefecture. Eight temples, shrines and ruins in Nara, specifically Tōdai-ji.

In ancient times, before the eighth century, the then capital of Japan, Kyoto, were temporary settlements that were transferred to the death of their emperor. By accessing Buddhism to Japan from China. Kyoto, which was founded in the likeness of the Chinese ancient capital of Ch'angan .

1) The mountains are located the north, “like the seized head of the turtle-serpent, with undulations of the dragoon and bows of the tiger coming from the east and the west”. These mountains define a natural barrier and a space dominion that they protect.

 2) A body of water exists to the south, and the slope develops smoothly towards that direction.

 3) This configuration establishes a clear directionality according to the cardinal points and clearly is related to the solar movements, the resulting effects of light and the wind direction.

From the book shop in Osaka Japan is proven again that some Japanese do believe in feng shui and bazi reading. I quickly went through the books and found that the basic theory like I-ching , Bagua, 5 elements, heaven stem, earth root etc are the same even though I don't understand Japanese.

全日本最高的塔, 晴空塔 Skytree Tower

晴空塔 Skytree Tower, 现今全日本最高的塔就建在浅草, 而浅草就在东京的东北方，八运2004至2023，当令飞星在东北方，因此山在东北对人丁有利，晴空塔 Skytree Tower 代表山在东京的东北可加強东京之人力，所谓山管人丁水管财，山灵人杰，山有灵气就会出现豪杰，此运若是东北方有美丽有灵气的山对人之健康与人丁有利。古人曰："山不在高，有仙則名; 水不在深，有龍則靈"

Feng Shui of 日本东京浅草观音寺 Asakusa Senso Ji Temple

日本东京浅草观音寺向南方

晴空塔 Skytree Tower在浅草寺左边

日本东京浅草观音寺 Asakusa Senso Ji Temple 在628年建成，当时浅草是个农漁村，据说漁民补魚时捞到一尊观音象，当时村民并不知道其为何物把它放回水里，但是过不久又打捞回同一尊观音象，再放回，可是不久后同一尊观音象同样的被打捞上到，漁民感到不可思议，把此尊观音象交给村长，村长就决定建立了这个寺庙来供奉此尊观音. 自从此寺庙建成后，浅草区域就风调雨顺，因此它就完整的保留至今。

日本人多信奉佛教而佛教是在唐朝传至日本，因此许多古老建筑物都保有中华文化色彩。许多建筑物都向南，根据前天八卦南为乾卦，乾为天，坤为地, 因此许多重要建筑物都向南方，之前我有说过许多中国的重要建筑物如北京紫禁地都向午门，午门在南方，孔子曰向南而得天下，日本深受唐朝的首府长安的影响，因此建筑物的形状也有很多相像之处。

晴空塔 Skytree Tower, 现今全日本最高的塔就建在浅草寺左边，左青龙，因此此塔对浅草寺有加持之用。
