2. It also caused the instability in Syria, Egypt and the Middle East.

‘龙德’这位大贵人，则当你的发展出现阻滞时，祂就会引导你发挥本身的智慧，去圆满解决困难。

也见’玉堂星’出现, ’玉堂星’是一颗一级吉星，主有贵人助运.

但小心凶星如暴败, 天厄, 六害, 一些是非星.

‘天厄’主意料不及的事情，表示你的任务去到接近成功的时候，往往会出现突然的意外，令已经完成的工作化为乌有，以致要重新起步.

’紫微星’和‘龙德’的力量应比‘天厄’ 的力量来得強.

This is a very good year and hence please goes all out if you have any good opportunity. This is because of the star of ‘Zi Wei’. In this year nothing is going to block your talent. Although, you do not show self painstakingly, your working ability will be perfectly obvious and known by others. Thus, sooner or later there will be opportunity for promotion. You will have the opportunity of shining brightly this year.

‘Long De’ is your strong nobleman star. It can guide you to develop the wisdom and satisfactory solution during any difficult situation.

However, even with the help of ‘Zi Wei’ and ‘Long De’, you still have to be aware of the star of ‘Tian E’ as this is star that will come in and jeopardize your task when it is close to the time of success. There will be some blockage appear suddenly, the work that you have done will be completely vanishes and you have to start the work all over again. However, the power of ‘Zi Wei Xing’ and ‘Long De’ should be higher than ‘Tian E’.

Feng Shui is Science and Mathematics.

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.

If you refer to my book http://www.penangfengshui.com/index.php?pages=book_enjoyyourlife_ebook page 130,

 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

2. 三纲五常：三纲即“君臣义”、“父子亲”、“夫妇顺”，五常 wu chang指“仁、义、礼、智、信” kernel, righteousness, ritual, wisdom, reliability。三纲五常（纲常）是中国儒家伦理文化中的架构。Confucious thoughts.

3. 五谷wǔgǔ [the five cereals of rice,two kinds of millet, wheat and leans] 指粮食，五谷即稻、黍、稷、麦、豆

4. 五官wǔguān[facial features; five sense organs of ears, eyes, lips, nose and tongue] 指耳、眼、鼻、口、身，通常指脸部器官

5. 五戒 wǔjiè [Five Buddhist Disciplines] 佛教中在家的男女教徒所应遵守的五项戒律：不杀生，不偷盗，不邪淫，不妄语，不饮酒.

6. 五洲wǔzhōu [all over the world] 指世界各地.

Feng Shui : Zodiac Horoscope for Rat in 2014 生肖鼠在2014马年的运气

岁破’，’阑干’等凶星对你的事业伤害性最大。’岁破’主不安宁，代表公司里风风雨雨，是非多多，阑干主事停滞 ，兼逢’大耗星’，注定要破大财，不易积聚财富之外，偶一不慎，更容易跌入骗徒的圈套，以至破财损财。有投资的朋友必须加倍留神，切无误信朋友之言，胡乱购入没有实力的股票。囚獄’代表失去自由, 可能被囚在医院. 踏入马年, 你冲太岁. 要在立春日前到太岁庙作福，有助驱散凶星的缠扰。

‘Sui Po’, the fearful stars such as ‘Lan Gan’ is bad stars. The Star of ‘Sui Po’ is a not peaceful star. It represents the hardships in company. Simultaneously, there is a star of ‘Da Hao Xing’, which indicating a leak of wealth and do not easy to gather wealth. You may suffer unexpected personal financial losses. You have to be careful in any investment. You may purchase carelessly the stock that has no potential to grow. Rat may lose your freedom and may have to stay in a hospital. In the year of horse, your luck may not be very promising. It is advisable for you to go to the temple or church in the beginning of spring to pray for good fortune and it is helpful to dispel the disturbance of the fearful star.

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 not logical to have all those who are born in the year of rat to share the same fortune in 2014. 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?

Also, I shall post the post my readings for other zodiac horoscope for 2014 in sequence from time to time. Hence, please stay tuned. Thanks and please be patient for your turn!

The impacts of the Planets to our life path and feng shui. 宇宙对人的命运与风水的影响.

我学习易经, 八字原理, 风水理论的心态就是一直希望从这些复杂古老却宝贵的智慧里寻找它们的科学根据, 然后以最简单的方式与有缘人分享.

一直问自己为何古人可以用 一个人的生辰八字来批命? 为何一个人的生辰那么重要? 为何西方星座也是根据一个人的生辰? 天干地支来纪年，为什么是60一轮称六十甲子? 为什么不是80年一循环？或者100年？

易 - 变化之意，万事万物永远都处于变化之中。气 - 万物变化造成流动的现象就是气。

简单的来说, 地球一直在旋转, 因此地球的磁场无时无刻都在变. 太阳和月亮对地球影响最大. 五大行星的影响次之. 最接近地球的五大行星为水 Mercury, 金 Venus, 火Mars, 木 Jupiter  与土 Saturn. 天王海王等太远影响不大，太阳系外影响就更微乎其微。你也可以发觉我们每一天都离不开五行, 金水木火土. 现在看你四周, 是否都是这五行因素?

太阳系最大的星球是木星，甲子纪年就从对他们的观察并计算产生的结果。木星的公转周期为4332.589天，约合11.86年。古人以12年来计算，木星每年所转到的方位就是其中一个“地支”位。这十二个位置这也是生肖的来历。

土星的公转周期为10759.2天，即约29.5年。古人以三十年计算。土星在公转运行中，二十年和木星相会一次。木星、土星这两大行星的会合，对地球有非常巨大的影响。因此风水理论中的三元九运, 三元为六十年, 一个甲子. 地球运为二十年转变一次. 现在为八运. 土星、木星二十年会合一次为一运，以九大行星配九运。

我们看看5大行星的运行周期就明白了

水 Mercury          0.241 (88.0 days)      

金 Venus            0.615 (225 days)      

火 Mars             1.881      

木 Jupiter          11.86     

土 Saturn           29.46      

以木星公转十二年和土星公转三十年的最小公倍数六十年为一个纪年单位，定为一个元，这是风水学纪年的起源。木星绕太阳公转一週是地球绕太阳公转的十二倍,而土星绕太阳公转一週是地球绕太阳公转的三十倍. 金、木、水、火、土星与地球每隔大约六十年便会同宫. 45度内. 金、木、水、火、土星与地球差不多行成一条直線. 因此在天干地支纪年法里我们有六十甲子. 每六十年甲子将出现因此我们必须承认先人高深而且宝贵的智慧. 他们在几千年前已经可以很精准地把金、木、水、火、土星与地球每隔大约六十年便会同宫的时间给算出来.

八字又稱为四柱(年柱, 月柱, 日柱, 时柱), 是根据一个人的出生的年, 月, 日和时辰, 以天干地支纪年法来计算. 简单的来说,我们希望从中了解自己本命所属之五行而从中寻找自己所需之五行, 因为地球一直在旋转, 地球的磁场无时无刻都在变, 我们出世那一刻的磁场就仿佛是我们的密码.

其实风水八字的原理与爱因斯坦的相对论相似, 都讲就平衡点, 当发现那方面太多就少用它; 而当发现那方面太少就多用它. 可曾听过<水能载舟, 也能覆舟>, 我们需要水来载舟, 但太多水也能覆舟.每件东西都要它的平衡点. 因此简单的来说,如果你所属之五行为水但你出世那一刻的磁场为水强的时刻, 那你忌水. 反之, 如果你所属之五行为水但你出世那一刻的磁场为水弱的时刻, 你就需要水.中医药的原理也是如此.

I always study the Book of Changes (I-Ching), the theory of feng shui and the principle of bazi reading with the hope to find some scientific facts and hopefully I can explain these complicated ancient precious wisdom in a simple language to all of you out there.

I always asked myself why our ancestors were able to use a person's birthday to calculate his/her life path. Is a person's birthday that important? Why the Western constellation horoscope also based on a person's birthday? Why the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches is a sixty-year cycle? Why isn't it a 80 years cycle? Or 100 years?

Apparently, the Earth is revolving continuously; therefore the Earth's magnetic field is in a constantly changing form. The sun and the moon affect the Earth largely. It is followed by the influence of the 5 major planets. The closest planets to the Earth are the five major planets, water Mercury, golden Venus, and fire Mars, wooden Jupiter and earth Saturn. Other planets like Neptune are too far and the influence to the Earth is insignificant. You also may notice that we cannot escape from the 5 elements. Look around yourself now and you will notice that you are surrounding by the 5 elements i.e. gold, water, plant (wood), fire and earth elements. 

The biggest star in the Solar System is Jupiter. The Jupiter's revolution cycle is 4332.589 days, approximately for 11.86 years or 12 years, thus, we have the twelve Earthly Branches. These 12 Earthly Branches also represent the 12 zodiac animal horoscope, with the rat, followed by the ox and lastly the pig.

Whereas, another large planet, the Saturn's revolution cycle is 10759.2 days, approximately in 29.5 years or 30 years. Hence, every 20 years the Jupiter will meet the Saturn and of course it will have extremely huge influence to the Earth when they meet. Therefore in the feng shui flying star theory, we have the three yuan nine periods. Every 20 years, the Earth will have a change of period. Currently, the Earth is in period 8. There are 9 planets in the Solar System; hence, in feng shui flying star theory, we have 9 periods.

water Mercury          0.241 (88.0 days)      

Golden Venus            0.615 (225 days)      

Fire Mars             1.881      

Wooden Jupiter          11.86     

Earth Saturn           29.46      

Every 60 years, the water Mercury, Golden Venus, Fire Mars, Wooden Jupiter and Earth Saturn will meet in a straight line in 45 degrees. Therefore, it is every 60 years sixty year cycle! We have to applaud the wisdom of our ancestors for their ability to calculate it accurately without the help of the advanced technology that we have today. They could do it without a telescope.

In the bazi reading, we calculate the life path of a person based on his/her birth time i.e. the year, month, day and hour which we call it the four pillars, the law of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

In short, because the Earth is revolving continuously; therefore the Earth's magnetic field is in a constantly changing form. When a person is born, every one of us is born in a different time. It is like every one of us has a different magnetic code with us. The theory of the bazi reading is similar to the Einstein's theory of relativity i.e. searching for the balance point. When we find out there are too many of an element, we should minimize its usage. But vice verse if there are too few of an element, we should use it largely instead. This is also the basic of the knowledge of the Chinese medicine.
