The more I understand about feng shui, the more I
think that Feng Shui is Science and Mathematics.
As what I always said, the I-Ching or yi jing 易经
is a very scientific book and many of the scientific theories today are
actually in-line with the theory of the I-Ching 易经
even though the I-Ching 易经 has
existed in this world approximate 6000 years ago. It is the oldest book in the
world and it is in fact like a 无字天书 (a book from the heaven
that cannot be explained by words).

As a matter of fact, bagua, a valuable product from
I-Ching 易经, one of the great recovery of men, (Chinese: 八卦;
literally "eight symbols") is an 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.

You will find that the numbers in the ‘later heaven
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.
I said it repeatedly during my speech that 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 (earth) 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. My article
http://penangfengshui.blogspot.com/2013/09/impact-of-planets-to-our-life-path-and.html
explained the reason for the change scientifically and also its calculation mathematically.
If you define the number 8 as Najib (King) who is
ruling, then number 5 is Mahathir (
太上皇; a title assumed by an
emperor's father) 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, according to the
annual flying star chart, the no 5 is at the
centre of the chart, hence, it is not a good year with lots of disasters,
typhoon, flood, , diseases, earthquake and there centre of the Earth, the Middle
East is not the peaceful state anyway.
You will find
that number 5 is a very important number in Chinese. Why are there 5 elements, 五行, (plant, fire, earth, gold and water)
but not 4, 6 or 7 and etc elements because without 5 we cannot the relationship
of 相生相克mutually reinforce and neutralize each other?
Also, with the
five elements, we can have the relationship of the plant or wood produces the
fire but counter the earth and so on. If there are 6 or 7 elements, it cannot
form the links and relationship.
There are many
examples to show the number five 5 is an important number as following:-
1. 五福临门的五福wu fu为长寿, 富贵, 康宁, 好德与善终longevity, prosperity, healthy and
peaceful, passionate and good ending of lif
