It started with a simple request, but like all mysteries, it unravelled into something much more profound. The CEO of a prestigious bank reached out to me, concerned not about his business, but his family. His twin daughters, once inseparable, were now constantly at odds, fighting like cats and dogs. No matter what he tried, peace seemed impossible. He needed answers, and he hoped that Feng Shui could reveal them.
I arrived at their grand villa, a West 2 facing structure, built during Period 8. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt the tension lingering in the air, like a storm waiting to break. The twins’ conflict wasn’t just an emotional state; it was embedded into the very fabric of their home.
I began my investigation by visiting their separate rooms. Each girl had her own space—one upstairs, one downstairs—but the energy between them was still turbulent. My attention was drawn to a painting in one of the rooms. It depicted a ballerina, delicately putting on her shoes, her back turned to a mirror. In the reflection, the ballerina’s back was turned again, as if two figures had their backs to each other. Suddenly, it became clear. The painting wasn’t just art—it was a reflection of their discord. Two figures, forever back-to-back, locked in a silent standoff. Even the décor had recorded their strife, reflecting it back to them day after day.
But I needed more than just symbols; I needed to understand the energy flows, the magnetic fields at play. I examined the orientation of their rooms and discovered they were both situated in the Southeast section of the house. This area was marked by a -80 energy, a cold, negative direction that clashed with their natural energies as 7 Guas. But there was more. The Southeast section harbored a 5-2 magnetic field—a combination notorious for breeding conflict and poor health. No wonder they were fighting. The environment was not just allowing it; it was amplifying it.
The solution was clear, yet delicate, like rebalancing a scale. I moved them out of the Southeast section and into rooms in the Northwest part of the house, where the energy was warmer, more harmonious. They began sleeping in a West direction, on an 8 mountain field, a configuration that governs relationships and brings stability. Overnight, the tension dissipated, and so did their health problems—no more complaints of stomach pains, no more restless nights. Peace, at last.
But the magic didn’t stop there. I positioned their study desks to face the Northwest 2 direction, a +90 energy field, ideal for focus and mental clarity. What happened next was nothing short of extraordinary. These two girls, who had been struggling just to get along, began to excel academically. They climbed to the top of their class, and soon, they were consistently achieving the highest marks in their private school.
Word got out, but only to one close friend. Intrigued, she asked them, “What’s your secret?” And they shared it, but only with a knowing smile: “Let the force be with you.” The friend, curious and eager, persuaded her father to contact me for a Feng Shui audit on their own home. The same adjustments were made, and soon, the trio of friends became the brightest stars in their school, their grades soaring beyond anyone’s expectations.
Years passed, and the results spoke for themselves. All three girls graduated with six distinctions each, and their academic journey didn’t end there. They went on to qualify as chartered accountants, each one achieving their goals with a quiet, unspoken confidence. Their success was more than hard work; it was a carefully guarded secret, a private joke between them that tied them together even more strongly than before.
The magic, if you wish to call it that, lay in understanding the invisible forces that govern our spaces. They were sleeping on an 8 mountain, working under the auspices of a 9 water star—a formula for mental clarity and harmonious relationships. The energies aligned, and so did their lives.
So, can Feng Shui make a difference? The answer, as this story shows, is a resounding yes. Knowledge is power, and sometimes, all it takes is a subtle shift, a change in direction, to unlock a world of potential. Don’t let your children struggle against unseen currents. Put them in the right direction, let them thrive, and as the twins would say, “Let the force be with you.”
