2007 Chinese Yearly Classic Feng Shui

Learn about the 2007 Chinese yearly classic feng shui number.

As feng shui gained in popularity over the years, much emphasis was placed on making a ba gua map of your home and placing the items in your environment based on this map. Instead, classic feng shui is all about managing the energy, or chi, in your living and workspaces.

Without getting too scientific or confusing, here are a few basic classic feng shui principles:

• Vibrating frequencies – In classic feng shui, everything in existence has a vibrating frequency. One of the goals of classic feng shui is to understand and harness this energy.
• Objects for cures – Classic feng shui uses objects for cures, but does not place significance on the minutiae of the object. For example, in contemporary feng shui, one might place a particular plant at the entrance of the doorway in order to welcome positive chi flow. Now, the user may choose a plant that is said to have positive chi like a peace lily as opposed to a prickly cactus. There isn't anything wrong with using the plant, but in classic feng shui, importance is placed not on the specific type of plant, but the specific vibrations the plant gives off. Therefore, in classic feng shui, it is the vibrating frequency of the object that cures things like poison arrows and not the object itself.

The basis used for these vibrating principles in classic or traditional feng shui is that vibrations or movement can create and destroy things. For example, the movement of the earth creates mountains and valleys whereas the vibration and movement of a building caused by an earthquake will end up destroying the structure.

As we transition from one year to the next, so too do the "flying stars". Every year is associated with good and bad flying stars. The good ones, of course, are said to bring good luck and the bad ones are said to bring bad luck.

Flying stars consist of nine principal stars. Each star has elements assigned to the areas of your living space that must be activated in order to have a positive influence in your life. Feng shui practitioners have calculated the auspicious and inauspicious flying star areas over thousands of years. These flying star periods transition about every 20 years depending on the flying star principle used. The 2007 Chinese yearly classic feng shui period is eight.

This eighth period is considered a lower or Earth cycle period. Here are the things that give off positive vibrations during this time:

• The color yellow
• Glass
• Stone
• Ceramic
• Squares
• Porcelain
• Marble
• Precious stones
• Semi-precious stones

If you see a pattern developing as to the auspicious items of the lower cycle period of eight in feng shui, there's a reason. This period represents the transitioning from the Lake (Tiu) Trigram to the Mountain Trigram or Ken Trigram. The Mountain Trigram period is a time of stability and quiet reflection as opposed to ever changing and constant movement, water period of The Lake.

Learning the exact principles and guidelines to classic feng shui numbers, Trigrams and charts is complicated at best. If you aren't careful to learn all the minor details about activating the chi of these time periods, you may end up inviting negative chi into your life and causing misfortune and illness. If you are serious about using these classic principles of feng shui, it's always best to consult with a certified professional.
