I quoted in my book “How to enhance your wealth with feng shui?” http://www.penangfengshui.com/index.php?pages=info_book_01
page 100 that the ‘later heaven bagua’ is a very powerful tool. The numbers in the bagua will add to become 15 whether you add the numbers vertically, horizontally or diagonally. The no 5 which is the 5 yellow is right at the centre of the bagua and hence it is the most powerful star as it controls all other numbers in order to add up to become 15. It is the King of the table which rule and control.
There are a lot of valuable knowledge can be obtained from the bagua. The bagua has correspondences in astronomy, astrology, geography, geomancy, anatomy, the family, and elsewhere. The no 5 is the earth (yellow) which represents the piece of land of China 中国大陆 which was believed to be located at the centre of the world. The yellow color used to be the official color for the emperor. In the olden day’s 封建時代, normal citizens were not allowed to use the color except the King. It was believe that the whole piece of land was belonged to a person solely i.e. the King.

Therefore, we have to take good care of the 5 yellow. As our Earth does not stop revolving, the magnetic energy of the Earth will not be the same all the time. Every 20 years, there will be a change of period (yun) and 1984 – 2003 is the period 7 and the number star 7, 8 and 9 are good, especially the number 7. 2004 – 2023 is the period 8 and the number star 8, 9 and 1 are good, especially the number 8 and it is a star in power currently 得令星.
If you define the number 8 as Najib who is ruling, then number 5 is Mahathir who used to be very power. The number 5 star is not in power presently 失令星. Mahathir is not in control now and in order to exercise his influence, he has to make a lot of noise in order to obtain the attention of others. Thus, wherever number 5 star appears in a place, it will create trouble to obtain the attention of others. This year, the number 5 star is at the South West. Brazil which is at the South West is hit by very serious flood now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_northeastern_Brazil_floods.
Chile was hit by 9.7 magnitude earthquake, the strongest earthquake this year.
The second worst star is the number 2, 二黑星, which is at the North East and coincidentally you will notice the floods happened at the North East of Brazil. If you analyze the location map of the world, China and Korea are right at the North East of the Earth. Korea is nearly at war and there are ceaseless problems in China this year.
For those who consulted me, I have taught them to place 安忍水 at the South West and North East of their house.
As a matter of fact, bagua is a valuable product from I-Ching 易经, one of the great recovery of men. It is in fact like a 无字天书 (a book from the heaven that cannot be explained by words). The word I易 is in fact a combination of the Sun 日and the Moon 月. It is a book about the philosophy of change as our Earth does not stop revolving; the magnetic energy of the Earth will not be the same all the time. Moreover, the gravitational force pull between the Earth and the Moon, Sun and other planets will keep on changing all the time, thus there will not be a place that will have permanent auspicious feng shui all the time. If it is not the case, then China would still be ruled by the Ming or Ching Dynasty as the emperor would have the best feng shui master to study the feng shui of his palace.
The I-Ching 易经 is a scientific book and many of the scientific theories and concepts today are actually in-line with the theory of the I-Ching 易经 even though I-Ching 易经 existed in this world approximate 6000 years ago. The Bagua (Chinese: 八卦; literally "eight symbols") are eight diagrams used to represent a range of interrelated concepts. Each consists of three lines, each either "broken" or "unbroken," representing a yin line or a yang line, respectively. Yin is referring to the negative energy and the yang is the positive energy. Bagua is the result of the ancient Chinese binary system. Each of the Gua is consists of three little Yao symbols, which is equivalent to a bit in today's binary language. Each Yao (section) represents either Yin (0), female or Yang (1), male force of nature. Yin (0), female, is two short little hyphens with a gap in between. Yang, male, is one continuous hyphen-like line. Use some graphic imagination to help you remember the female and male symbols or you can fashionably call them "zero (Yin)" and "one (Yang)". Due to their tripartite structure, they are often referred to as "trigrams" in English.
