| Finding
your Best Feng Shui Orientation
To
find out how best to position yourself at home and at work,
please find your Trigram based on your birth date. Then
look below to determine your favorable and unfavorable directions.
Feng
Shui is based on the Solar Calendar, not the Lunar Calendar.
The commonly known "Chinese New Year" is typically the Lunar
Calendar. Some forms of Chinese astrology are based on the
lunar calendar, but Feng Shui is based on the sun, which
influence our seasons and dictate our climates.
The
Chinese hold February 4th as the "Spring Establishment,"
or the time when the new solar year begins. If you where
born before February 4th you belong to the prior year' s
trigram. If you are born on February 4th or 5th, you should
check with 168 Feng Shui Advisors for the exact Trigram
based on the time of your birth.
Birth
Year and Trigram Chart
Align
yourself with your best directions:
Using
the Chart below, find your Trigram. Then look at the directions
across. These are your good to bad directions (from Left
to Right). The second chart below shows the significance
of these directions.
Ideally,
you want to place your back to the A direction (receive
support from this direction) and sleep with your head pointing
to the D direction. The directions of A through D are beneficial
and the directions of E through H are to be avoided. The
D direction is your Trigram's native direction. It is also
your most comfortable direction. This is a good direction
for sleeping or relaxing.

Do
not take these as literal interpretations, but rather as
indicators of the "potiential." Remember that the area of
qi you are in has an effect and that can be stronger than
the directions. In other words, if you are in a good area
of qi and oriented to the negative direction, the qi has
a more direct effect on you so you will prosper.
Use
this chart as a guideline to finding your ideal directions
and avoid orienting yourself to the negative directions.
The study of Feng Shui is like an onion. You can peel away
the layers one by one and discover that there are other
influences on levels. Feng Shui is truly a lifelong study.
