Feng Shui

Saturday, January 22, 2011



Feng Shui holds fast that certain rules need to be adhered to
whenever anyone decides to renovate a home. During these days of
foreclosures and falling real estate prices we're seeing more renovation
of existing spaces then of occupants actually moving into another
space. Renovations, however, can impact your luck in both positive and
negative ways. The thought behind this is that any renovation can
possibly disturb the equilibrium and the 'luck' inherent in the original
home. Therefore, you need to address how best to maintain a sense of
balance while building additions or making repairs.According to this
modality, each New Year holds a separate set of recommendations for the
renovation. For 2011 the suggestions are as follows:
Firstly, let's look
at the Grand Duke Jupiter from a Flying Star (one of the seven schools
of Feng Shui) perspective. This Grand Duke will reside in the East in
2011 and should not be disturbed. Doing so could bring bad luck, loss,
illness or misfortune. Don't renovate anything in the east this year if
you can help it. You can put an image of the Feng Shui Pi Yao in this
same direction to appease the Grand Duke and get back in his good
graces! You shouldn't disturb something called The Three Killings
either. This year the Three Killings are murdering in the west of your
home, so you should be careful with any digging, cutting or renovation
planned for this direction of your space. But ameliorate this potential
misfortune by displaying an image of the Three Tiger Deities in this
same directional space.
Lastly, the mischievous Five Yellow is also
taking up real estate in the east in 2011, looking to make some mayhem
with the cranky Grand Duke. To subdue this affliction you can place an
image of the Tree of Life in this same space.

Chinese Tiger Symbolism


In Chinese iconography, tigers are used to stand for the cardinal
directions:  

White Tiger represents the earth, the West and so, the afterlife. 
Blue Tiger represents the East, fertility and vegetation. 
Red Tiger represents the South and fire.
Black Tiger represents the North and winter.
Yellow Tiger represents the sun at the centre.

Among the Chinese 12 symbols of sovereignty, there is a pair of bronze
sacrificial cups.  They stand for filial piety towards father and mother;
one features a tiger to symbolize strength and the other, a
monkey
for cleverness.  
Among the 12
animals of the Chinese calendar, the tiger is not only noted for strength but
also for courage and perseverance. 

Chinese deities riding tigers include Chang Tao-ling, the
Taoist Immortal who is also the god of wealth and hence, of gamblers.  The goddess of the wind
also has a tiger as her mount. 
The constellation Westerners know as Orion is seen as only part of the constellation known to Chinese as the White Tiger.

On Fri. as I was cleaning one of the bathrooms, west side of apt. I came upon something NEW, mold across and above the baseboard behind the toilet. Showed this to the on site manager of sorts and she called in her X, a plumber, he cut the wall Sat. morning which showed more. What can I say our toilet is now on the back deck, the bathroom needs to dry out, glad we have 2 bathrooms, I got a new sink, and on Wed. they hope the area will be dry enough to do the dry-wall and put things back together.soooo,

Okay. Will do. I've got some work that needs to be done at the house, just happens to be on the east side, so I'll get one of those dragons and put it over there under a tree of life. Thanks!

I'm keeping my white tiger in the living room--it is her cubs that are driving me crazy! (That WAS my dream last night!)

Really, hum interesting, the ancient Egyptians believed that the White Tiger was the guardian of the west, while the Chinese believed that tigers ruled the five directions: The Red Tiger ruled the south, summer and fire, the Black Tiger ruled the north, winter and water, the Blue Tiger ruled the east, spring and vegetation, the White Tiger ruled the west, autumn and metals, and the Yellow Tiger ruled the sun and all directions. In ancient China it was also believed to fight off evil spirits. It has also been known to represent anger (Buddhism)
So either you are angry or having good luck, with her cubs driving you crazy, I'd say a little of both.
