Horoscope Feng Shui: Using “Eight Mansions” for Dazzling Relationships, by Master Denise Lotta Dennis

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

Did you know that certain homes can support and ignite affairs, divorce, being bullied at work, conflict with family members, lawsuits, and other very unpleasant and disrupting events? Feng Shui techniques can find these possible scenarios and cure them.

Feng Shui dates back to Neolithic China, and the people of that area have relied on Feng Shui to build their homes and cities for centuries. Despite the fact that Feng Shui is more popular than ever, few people, including Asians, know little about it and the numerous formulas available. All Feng Shui formulas/systems are designed to bring a harmonious state of living so that humans may thrive in the areas of prosperity, relationships, and health.

The two most popular Feng Shui systems are the Eight Mansions (BaZhai) and Flying Stars (Xuan Kong Fei Xing). The Eight Mansions System is simple, promising profound results. It is a more personalized technique that is based on the horoscope (birthday) of the occupants. Once you have discovered your unique Life Gua Number using the table provided below, you will learn your distinctive personality traits and characteristics; this will give you insights into your own energy and others in your sphere.

While Eight Mansions doesn't have the complexity of the Flying Star system (Xuan Kong Fei Xing), which attracts enthusiastic interest from students worldwide, it is amazing. The Eight Mansions system's focus is on the people aspect, while Flying Stars is all about the energy of a structure/building. When the Eight Mansions formula is applied correctly, it can bring dazzling prospects for love and romance, business opportunities, health, promotions at work, flourishing investments, and wealth-luck. In addition, it is the only system that has a "personality type" aspect serving as a horoscope; much is devoted to this facet in my second book, Classical Feng Shui for Romance, Sex & Relationships.

You will be astonished and delighted at how a few simple changes can alter your life for the better. Eight Mansions dates back to the Tang Dynasty; it is not part of the Eight Life Aspirations found in Western styles of Feng Shui touting your wealth corner, marriage sector, fame area, and so forth. No indeed, Eight Mansions is the real deal, a genuine system that can deliver powerful results! There is no "universal" marriage or romance area that fits everyone. You'll have your own personal relationship direction to activate so you may attract love, romance, sex, and more harmonious relationships.

Eight Mansions will help you defeat serious problems concerning family, career, relationships, marriage, health, and children; this is accomplished by applying the principles of Eight Mansions using good directions and re-orienting specific rooms in your home. This is how the system works: according to your Life Gua Number, you will be influenced in positive and negative ways by the eight directions; four will support you and four won't. The lucky directions will augment wealth and money luck, health, good relationships, and stability; the other four can ignite divorce, affairs, bankruptcy, betrayals, lawsuits, cancer, and so forth. The idea, of course, is to use and set in motion your good directions and bear-down on and suppress the negative ones.

To find your personal Life Gua Number, refer to Eight Mansions chart below; make sure you are in the right column as there is one for males and one for females. If you were born prior to February 4th in any given year, use the previous year to get your Life Gua Number. For example, if you were born January 28, 1970, use the year 1969 to get the correct Life Gua number.

Now that you have your Life Gua Number—and that of your spouse, family members, co-workers, or children—you're ready to learn more about the energy that drives us. The following are the eight personality types. Please keep in mind that the descriptions are general and do not tell the whole story of you (what does?). However, after consulting with thousands of clients over the last twenty years, I find them extremely accurate. Also, none of us can be "on" all the time, and when stressed, we can slip into the negative aspect of our nature. Everything in our universe has duality, including us!

• • 1 Gua Personalities: The 1 Guas are highly intellectual and can be studious or even scholarly. To the outside world, they appear calm and cool; however, inside they have a rich emotional makeup. As a result, at times they can be overly emotional, moody, anxious, and high strung. They are full of brilliant ideas and concepts, and are usually very good at making and holding onto money. The 1 Guas are skilled at sizing up people using their natural, intuitive abilities. Since their element is water, they can be hard to pin down. They are sensual and can be highly sexual. Tending to keep secrets below the surface, 1 Guas are known to have secret lives.

• • 2 Gua Personalities: The 2 Guas exhibit persistence, dependability, and a calm demeanor. They can also be nurturing and supportive to their inner circle. With their calm, relaxed demeanors, 2 Guas are dependable and tend to have developed psychic abilities. They make excellent doctors or practitioners of alternate healing arts (such as chiropractry, massage therapy, and acupuncture. Since the 2 Guas have the most yin energy of the Guas, they enjoy and feel comfortable in dark spaces, but have a tendency to depression or dark moodiness. Good spelunkers, these grounded people relish activities that focus on the earth—gardening, farming, construction, and agriculture.

• • 3 Gua Personalities: 3 Guas are extremely enterprising and have progressive ideas. They tend to be outspoken, direct, and organized. The 3 Gua’s nature is one of nervousness punctuated by a lot of energy and steam. Constantly crafting new inventions, new ventures, or the latest thing, they love new beginnings and "start ups." When in a negative energy, the 3 Guas tend to self-punish, spread their energy too thin (leading to collapse), or become abrasive. However, they are full of surprises; 3 Guas have a sense of vitality and vigor that can overwhelm people.

• • 4 Gua Personalities: Malleable, flexible, and indecisive, the 4 Guas may "blow with the wind" if not grounded, finding it hard to take a stand. In general, they usually are attractive people or may have movie-star qualities. The 4 Guas are more prone to be sexually controlled by their partners than other Guas. They have progressive ideas and can become famous in writing or rich in the publishing business. The un-evolved 4s may self-destruct by refusing good advice. The 4 Guas can be somewhat remote and private, but they are also gentle people with an innocent purity.

• • 6 Gua Personalities: The 6 Guas can easily step into positions of power and authority, as they are natural leaders that seem to be blessed by the heavens. They make excellent lawyers, judges, and CEOs, as their energy commands respect. The 6 Guas have a regal, royal air that is naturally unpretentious. Clear thinkers, with a lot of courage, the 6 Guas possess foresight and extremely creative, and they can hold their own in a debate. They need time alone as they often get caught up in over-thinking, which can lead to being sleep-deprived. Oozing with creativity, the 6 Guas are filled with ideas that involve large groups of people, a community, or an organization.

• • 7 Gua Personalities: 7 Guas tend to be youthful in behavior or appearance. They are very attracted to metaphysical studies and arts; they can be talkative, lively, and nervous. The 7 female Guas are often blessed with very good looks, and sensuous beauty. Comfortable with a lot of "stage," the 7 Guas are good at acting, speaking, and in front of the camera or on the radio. With a strong tendency to over indulge in the pleasures of life such as food, drink, money, and sex, they must keep a balanced life. They can be a fast-talker, smooth talker, or have a razor-sharp tongue. The 7 Guas are very social, charming, and charismatic; they create stimulating, informative conversation wherever they go.

• • 8 Gua Personalities: The 8 Guas have a stubborn, dependable, and steadfast nature. They tend to have a great deal of integrity and are vey attracted to all things spiritual. They can become spiritual seekers, and trek the mountains in search of "answers" and to find themselves. Hardworking and loving things of the earth, the 8s are talented in construction, real estate, and landscaping. They also have a little of "save the world" energy. While the 8 Guas tend to resist change, they can deftly handle trouble without falling apart. Un-evolved 8 Guas can become hoarders, self-righteous, and short-tempered. They are geared for success and often become very rich with worldly honors, recognition, and status.

• 9 Gua Personalities: 9 Guas have a sharp, brilliant intellect; they can also be wise, loyal, and sentimental. Blessed with a fiery spirit and energy, these Guas have a decided adventurous streak. The female 9s are usually beautiful, like a diva or goddess, but can be argumentative, aggressive, and rash when they are not on. With concentrated and focused effort, they can reach great height of achievements and standing in the world. The truly un-evolved 9 Guas will exhibit mental illness, such as paranoia and psychotic, unstable behavior. When grounded and evolved, the 9s can light up a room with their radiant energy.

Relationships are pervasive in our lives, and we want them to be the best as possible. Addressing romance and relationships is a very important aspect of Feng Shui, as this makes life rich and fulfilling. will show you how to arrange your home perfectly to support the most dazzling and harmonious relationships. It is comprehensive in scope as it blends Eight Mansions and Flying Stars with a hands-on section taking all the guess work out of the equation. This section is so detailed, it's like having a Feng Shui master come to your house; you need only to put your relationship-luck into action for a sweeter life!

Ever since an actor passed away suddenly last year, I have had very strong feelings of love for him. I never even knew of him as an actor until he passed away. Then I saw him on TV and the internet, and had a very strong feeling of attraction to him. I think about him all the time now. Is it possible that we knew each other in past lives, and he is now remembering me?

Of course it's possible - even probable - that the two of you are connected in some metaphysical way. The Universe brings our Karmic Family back to us one way or another in each incarnation. This time the two of you were unable to meet in person, but as soon as you saw him, you recognized him on a soul level even though he may have physically looked quite different from the way he looked when you last met.

This feeling of deja vu happens to most of us who have some kind of psychic awareness. Often we have that feeling when we actually meet someone we knew before in person, but we can also have the same kind of reaction to someone we've never met. Just seeing someone's gestures and mannerisms can remind us who they are and bring up all the feelings of love we had for them the last time we lived and loved together.

If you give yourself some time to process your feelings, you might begin to figure out where and when you knew one another. If he comes to you in dreams, write down everything you can remember about them. If you sense him nearby, keep a record of those experiences too.

This person also could have decided to become a Guide or Guardian for you for the rest of this incarnation or until you can be reunited in the future. While this may sound crazy, you can try to communicate with him. I feel you might do better writing him letters (that you don't mail, of course); a lot of things will come through to you in that way.

You needn't feel you missed out on anything with him in this lifetime because you will see each other again. In this incarnation it simply wasn't possible for the two of you to be together due to the distance between you and your choices of profession.

For whatever reason, it wasn't right for your paths to intersect during this lifetime. Usually this happens when you have such different lessons to learn in this incarnation that it isn't practical for the Universe to put you closer together.

Be happy that you realized you were important to one another, and try to feel that happy feeling even though you never met this time around; it will help you connect with him on a soul level. Next time you meet should be a very happy time. Then you can find out where you were together before. In the mean time, try to channel him as a powerful Guide in your life.

Susyn:

When we experience unexplained emotional ties to someone we've never met, it's often an indication of a past life connection. While there could be additional influences contributing to your feelings, such as the manner in which he died or the publicity surrounding it, those should have passed by this time.

We've encountered many different souls over the centuries. Thanks to the mass media, it's not uncommon for someone we've known before to be in the spotlight and for us to recognize them on some level.

Further, with the dawn of the internet, email and instant messaging, our world has become smaller. As a result, it's not uncommon to form instant and lasting bonds with people throughout the world, even if we never meet them in person. These relationships can carry the mark or feeling of past life connections.

Strong connections always add to our world. Though you never met this actor in person, he has transformed your world and your awareness on many levels, which is precisely the main reason we cross paths with people from the past.

Your strong attraction to this actor could indicate that you had a relationship of some kind in the past. Now that he has crossed over to the Spirit world, it's easier for him to interact with you since you never met in this world. When we cross over, our memories past, present and future tend to meld, making it very possible that in his own way, he continues to influence and remember those closest to him.

When you sense these emotions about him coming on, it would be a good idea to do a meditation and see if you can invite him in for a chat. In this way you can channel his spirit directly and perhaps learn more about why your feelings for him are so strong.

You may also want to ponder how you can honor his memory. You may be drawn to build some type of shrine or collection of his pictures, or learn more about him and try to emulate some of the character traits you admire about him. For example, if he was forthright and direct and you tend to beat around the bush, you can try to emulate his candor.

You may also want to look for these traits in a future partner, as one of the reasons you resonate with him has to do with his similarity to your soul mate. You can use his essence to set an ideal to strive for both in your partner and in your own character.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
