As we are counting down to Start of Spring 立春, we had our last and very important session of Annual Fengshui Talk. THANK YOU for packing the Lotus galleries so enthusiastically!
In the last session, we covered TWO very exciting sectors.
First, the INDIRECT WEALTH sector. Or what we commonly call, 偏财, or windfall luck. But it's more than that. It's generally the second source of income. Could be your investments, could be your second career.
My recommendation to activate the annual indirect wealth spot, other than lighting the Five Paths of Wealth Incense, you place sandalwood -- beads or pendant, or even sculpture -- at that designated spot.
In case you need a revision, agarwood is to activate direct wealth, and sandalwood is for indirect wealth.
To have a sandalwood pendant or a string of sandalwood beads would be a more long-term remedy. You would just need to shift it to the new spot every year. Of course, before you can achieve this, light the Five Paths of Wealth Incense.
The second sector is the SOUTH. Now, you might have read or hearsay from elsewhere that the south sector for 2019 (己亥 Earth-Pig year) is not such a pleasant/positive sector. We at Lotus on Water are more optimistic. And more thorough in our analysis.
The south sector in 2019 is literati energy, especially useful for those who need to be eloquent in their daily work. It also brings progression, and good fame. I strongly encourage you to make good use of this sector in 2019.
And there are many ways to activate the south sector energy. Surely, you can light the Five Paths of Wealth Incense there. You can also place either sandalwood or agarwood, or both. There's much to harvest and gain from 2019's south.
And with these two sectors, I covered all NINE sectors of 2019's annual fengshui. But I emphasized: it is not necessary for you to do up all nine sectors immediately, nor would it be efficient.
You got to recognize what is crucial to the configuration of your house and office, and to your situation, your concerns and ambitions for 2019.
Another rule-of-thumb you want to bear in mind is, focus on doing something positive, for prosperity and long-term, not just defending. The saying is 一白遮三丑, which means one area of light shall chase away three areas of shadow. Focusing on what you can achieve and prosper is not just a more efficient way of doing fengshui, it is also a more impactful path.
Imagine, a decade later, the gains you achieve every year shall accumulate. And you would have transformed into a much more enriched, prosperous and happy person. This won't happen if you keep focusing on what's bad and how to defend against it.
This guiding principle also morphed the way I structured my talk sessions this time round. I like to call them "sets of yin and yang". On one hand, you defend; on the other hand, you go all assertive to achieve.
Here's a summary.
To ward off accidents and illnesses, place the big bronze coins and tea hulu; but a more assertive way would be to place your crystal mountain for long-term health and relationship benefits, and have your agarwood too.
To smoothen conflicts and problems by malefactors 小人, place the Duanxi Clear Waters Black Inkstones; but a more powerful way would be to have strong benefactors and poise yourself as a victor with the Imperial White Inkstone.
Strive to be better in 2019. Strive to be better every single year.
HUAT ON.
