A great Master and Feng Shui Teacher called Andrew Graham from the Feng Shui Research Centre, once explained and demonstrated through data, that when we enter a building, we are affected by it’s “feel”. We all have buildings we love - buildings where we immediately feel at home and comfortable. But other buildings make us feel very uncomfortable and we can’t get out of them fast enough.
This is an instinctive reaction that is felt by most people and cannot be explained by Western Science. Fortunately, for 4000 years the Chinese have been studying our instinctive reactions, which led to Feng Shui, the study of the effects our surroundings and buildings have on us.
Flying Star Feng Shui is the most powerful school of Feng Shui. It is based on the interaction between the Earth’s Magnetic field and “Heavenly Yang Qi”, a Metaphysical “energy” that descends from above, hits us on the top of our head and then goes on down toward the centre of the Earth. When it meets the Earth’s Magnetic Field, it breaks up into eight other “energies”, each one coming towards us from one of the eight different directions North, North East, East, South East, South, South West, West and North West.
This gives us 9 different “energies” altogether: one coming down from above and eight others coming towards us from the eight different directions. Each of these “energies” has its own “feel” and its own effect on us. We feel these “energies” and react to them, we just are not aware that we doing so.
We are pretty sure that birds and animals use these energies for navigation. Being able to find the way back to their lairs and nests is essential for species that breed and feed their young. If our ancestors hadn’t been able to find their way back to their caves, their children would have starved to death, and we wouldn’t be here now!
Every 20 years these energies rearrange themselves and a different one becomes the new “Heavenly Yang Qi”, the energy descending from above. Each energy takes a turn, so there is a grand cycle of 9 X 20 = 180 years. Our current cycle started in February 1864.
For simplicity, we call Feb 1864 to Feb 1884 “Period 1” and the energy descending from above, the “Number 1 Energy”.
In Feb 1884 all the energies rearranged themselves and a new one started descending from above, while the other eight started coming from different directions. We call Feb 1884 to Feb 1904 “Period 2”, and the energy descending from above, the “Number 2 Energy”…………1904 to 1924 was Period 3 with the 3 Energy descending from above etc.
The energy descending from above is called the “ruling energy”. It is the “timely” energy and its character affects what we feel is “right”, so when we get a new “ruling energy”, it changes what we feel is “right”, and this brings a universal change in ethos.
Feb 2004 saw the Period change from Period 7 to Period 8, and the number 8 Energy replaced the number 7 Energy as the new “ruling energy”.
The 7 Yang (“ruling energy” from 1984 to 2004) was an energy driving people to make as much money as possible, by whatever means, irrespective of the morality. Lying and cheating were all okay, making money was everything.
The 8 Yang Energy is a much gentler energy than the 7 and it relates to balance in life and balance in nature. We are now in a time when people are trying to find balance in their lives, and the trend towards nature conservation, organic foods, the Green movement, etc indicate we are now feeling that nature is very important to us.
8 Yang is relatively weak and the 7 Yang relatively strong, so it has taken some time for the 8 ethos to take over. This has caused many problems because the 7 "make money at any cost" ethos was no longer "timely" after 2004, and this led to the financial crisis of 2008.
Period 9 (starting 2024) will bring a completely different ethos, so we are now in a time of great change, very much the same as the 1950s. No one knows what the new ethos will be, but the events we see all indicate we are feeling that things are changing, and the old order is no longer working.
When you put the roof on a building, you trap the “ruling energy” of the Period inside the building. A building built between Feb 1984 and Feb 2004 is a Period 7 building, one built between Feb 2004 and 2024 will be a Period 8 building etc.
