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!

The other day, I was standing by my glass door in the kitchen when I looked outside and did a double-take: I saw tiny bright little moving lights. It was as if they were looking inside at me! I quickly opened the door and put my hand out to feel them, and they moved all around my hand! Do you know what this was?

Astrea:

Sounds like baby fairies to me. If they are, you'll have a house full and they'll attract everything mystical, including ibys. Your description of them makes me think they are orphaned fairies. I've seen fairy orphans overtake a household in a matter of hours, and then here come the ibys!

As everyone who regularly reads my Double Vision column knows, ibys are those tiny little creatures who lived under the Earth with the Bogus Bogus before World War II. They came up when John, Chief of Police of the Bogus Bogus, tiddly-winked the Louse out from beneath the Earth.

There are specific ibys for specific tasks, such as the Artist Ibys who are known for applying heat to thick paint on a palette or squeezing the yellow ochre from the center of the tube. There are Music Ibys who dot an extra beat on a note in a score or paint flags on notes while we sleep.

Anyway, you get the picture. You can fool them and get them out of your house with birthday cake, but that is usually only a temporary fix.

Fairynistas would be giving you all kinds of instructions on how to lure these beings into your home. NOT ME. I've had fairies in this house forever. They must have come with the horses when this place used to be a barn.

Instead, here are a few reasons for you NOT to be happy that the fairies have chosen you to care for them:

Fairies draw other mystical beings, some of the most troublesome being ibys who are always looking for somewhere to freeload. Ibys come in all shapes, sizes, colors and lights, just like fairies, and it's difficult at first to tell one from the other. While fairies can be a blessing at times, ibys NEVER are. By comparison, fairies will squat for years and still be relatively easy to shoo. Ibys are not so easy.

Fairies also draw other freeloaders like gnomes, gremlins and even sometimes trolls and goblins. Trolls and gnomes can be mixed blessings, as they eat fairies and keep them from overrunning everything. Goblins are too large and unpleasant to be incorporated into your average back yard. Gremlins may be alien beings from outer space, but they won't eat the ibys. No one will eat an iby, not even a troll on a DARE.

You're in for a rough summer, so hold on to your hat! Look on the bright side: maybe you were just hallucinating when you saw those lights, or were in the process of getting a migraine.

Susyn:

There are many different theories concerning the lights you witnessed. Some say they are fairies; others refer to them as sprites or angels; a small percentage of people believe they represent troublesome spirits. Of course, some people believe that they have a scientific explanation.

Like you, those who have experienced this phenomenon normally recall the swirling lights they've seen as being white in color. Most sprite enthusiasts claim that if the lights are white or red, they represent angels or spirits. Others believe that these lights are caused by nature, and blame lightning, weather conditions or electro-magnetic fields.

Your description of these lights suggests they were paranormal, since they moved around your hand when you offered it. These particular sprites appear to be of a friendly, playful nature, at least at this stage.

If you experience this phenomenon again, you can determine the nature of these lights by paying close attention to the way they make you feel when you see them. If they don't bother you, they are most likely angels or sprites playing and watching over you.

On the other hand, if these lights become annoying or frightening and they begin to create a sense of uneasiness within you, you'll want to perform a smudging or spiritual blessing around your kitchen window to stop the activity.

To do this, you'll need a sage smudge stick or sage incense and three white candles. Place all three candles somewhere in your kitchen and light them. Then say a prayer that your home be cleansed of all negative energies. Light the smudge or incense stick, and then go from corner to corner around your kitchen and the window, allowing the wafting smoke to serve as a sealant to keep unwanted entities at bay.

If you have been experiencing other strange phenomena in your home, these lights could be signs that spirits or ghosts are inhabiting your home. In that case, you'll want to do more research. If you find that your house or yard is occupied by unwanted entities, you can call in a Spiritualist minister or paranormal team to have them removed.

Most people consider these lights to be harmless and signs that your fairies, angels or spirit guides are near you. If you view them in a positive light and as a special sign that you are protected, you will encourage more fascinating encounters.

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.
