Eight Mansions Luck Map in Feng Shui

Using the eight mansions luck map in feng shui you can determine the directions that are favorable or unfavorable for you regarding the personal areas of your life.

Compass directions are an essential aspect of the Eight Mansion Luck Map

The eight mansions school of feng shui, also known as eight houses or ba zhai, teaches that each person is directly affected by the eight compass directions. Of those directions, four are auspicious, or lucky, and four are inauspicious, or unlucky. This is determined by your personal kua number and the direction that your house sits. The eight compass directions include:

• East
• West
• North
• South
• Northeast
• Southeast
• Northwest
• Southwest

Once you know your favorable and unfavorable directions, the information is used to know the best direction for all activities including sleeping, working and maintaining good health.

By knowing which directions are favorable and which are unfavorable you can maximize your luck and improve the quality of your life. You can also avoid the unfavorable directions and the negative effects they cause. A different type of energy is found in each of the directions and the energies affect each person and situation uniquely.

Since the auspicious and inauspicious directions are based on your kua number, many people consider the eight mansions school the most personalized method of feng shui.

The eight mansion method is also used to determine the trigram of your house and identify the four favorable and unfavorable areas in your home.

Your personal kua, or gua, number is determined by your birth year and whether you are male or female. Knowing this number is essential for finding your lucky and unlucky directions. A simple formula to determine your kua number is explained on the Feng Shui Prosperity Network.

The following are the eight life areas that correspond to the directions.

• Favorable areas
  • Health
  • Success
  • Wisdom
  • Relationships
  • Unfavorable area
  • Disease
  • Insecurity
  • Obstacles
  • Career problems

To receive the benefits of an auspicious direction always stand or sit facing that direction. When you are sleeping make certain the top of your head is aimed at a favorable direction.

In eight mansion feng shui you must determine the sitting direction of your house to identify the auspicious and inauspicious areas. The sitting direction is the opposite of the facing direction. The Feng Shui Store offers excellent, simple to understand, free instructions on how to determine the sitting direction of your house.

Each house is divided into nine sections in eight mansion feng shui. There is the center and eight sections, which correspond to the directions of the compass. Four are auspicious and four are inauspicious. Generally, the four favorable locations are the four directions associated with the trigram of the house.

The names of the four auspicious locations of a house, or any type of dwelling, that bring good luck include:

• Sheng chi, or the breath of life, is a very lucky direction as the energy there attracts vitality, prosperity and respectability. It also brings you a good reputation.
• Fu Wai means harmony, stability and peace in your overall life.
• Ten Yi, or heavenly doctor, attracts energy for good health.
• Yan Nian, or longevity and relationships, fosters self-sufficiency and good relationships.

The inauspicious areas include:

• Ho Hai means obstacles and mishaps. Considered the least harmful of all the inauspicious directions, the energy causes frustration, difficulty, a feeling of insecurity and getting tired easily.
• Wu Kwei, or five ghosts, has an energy that leads to loss of employment or income. It also can cause arguments, or lead to loss from burglary or fire.
• Lua Sha, known as six killings, has negative energies that cause illness, and legal problems. The negative energies also may lead to lost or missed opportunities or scandals.
• Chueh Ming means disaster and the energy in this direction is the most dangerous and harmful of all. It may lead to depression, accidents or suicide. The negative energy causes finances to be poor and career to be unproductive.
