It began in a conference room, deep in discussion about the possibilities of diesel supply to the Congo—a business venture that promised great returns. My potential business partner and I were meeting with a formidable woman, a titan of transport with routes crisscrossing the African continent. Yet, as she stepped away to take a call from her son overseas, her expression darkened. Her distress was palpable, even as she tried to mask it beneath a veneer of professionalism.
Sensing her unease, I gently offered my assistance. She hesitated, but then the words came tumbling out—her son was struggling, trapped in a cycle of failure and despair. He had been studying medicine in the USA, yet he failed his first year four times in a row. Desperate, she sent him to Poland, hoping a change of scenery would make a difference. But there, too, he failed twice, succumbing each time to severe psychological stress that landed him in the hospital, unable to complete his courses. Her son, she insisted, was diligent, working hard, but something unseen was sabotaging his efforts.
Intrigued, I asked for an aerial photograph and floor plan of his current apartment, along with his birth details. As I scrutinized the layout, the answers revealed themselves with an eerie clarity. His apartment’s entrance faced Northwest—a direction that resonated with a -80 alignment to his birth chart. Worse still, his bed faced Southwest, his most inauspicious direction, the dreaded -90. This particular alignment not only obstructed his studies but insidiously corroded his mental health. As I delved deeper, a chilling pattern emerged: in South Africa, the USA, and now Poland, his sleeping position was always aligned with the Southwest, perpetuating his psychological breakdowns like a relentless curse.
I advised him to change his entrance to a Southeast 2 direction and adjusted his bed to align with the Southeast, his +90 direction—a seemingly simple shift but one charged with potent energy. The results were almost immediate. His health began to improve rapidly, and his academic performance soared. This year, he’s in his fifth year of medical school, boasting an impressive 85% average, his health restored, and the admiration of peers and professors alike. It was a striking transformation—a testament to the profound impact of being in the right place at the right time.
But Feng Shui is not without its complexities. The year 2024 brings the Annual 2 Sickness Star to the Southeast, making even his most favorable direction perilous. The unseen energies are ever-shifting, their impacts as elusive as they are powerful. As Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai often said, “Mastering Feng Shui is a lifelong pursuit of over 6,000 variables.” It’s like dining at a banquet with 6,000 dishes; you could sample them all without consequence, but one cup of arsenic could be fatal. Feng Shui, too, holds hidden dangers for the uninitiated—small missteps can have catastrophic consequences.
The lesson here is clear: knowledge is not just power, but a shield against the unseen forces that shape our lives. The placement that heals one year can harm the next. Always seek the guidance of a fully qualified Feng Shui Master, for in this intricate dance of energies, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
