As with many of my stories, this one also weaves the subtle energies that govern our lives. It was 2022 when a client requested a Feng Shui audit for their Southwest-facing home, built in the auspices of Period 8. To the trained eye, 2022 was a year when the Southwest carried a dark presence—the Annual Sickness Star, the dreaded 2.
The couple who lived there had unknowingly settled themselves in this very Southwest zone, where the star’s ill fortune simmered. The husband, once vibrant, began to suffer from relentless stomach cramps, an ailment that doctors could not explain. Sensing the invisible currents at play, I advised them to shift to the Northwest, a direction more attuned to their Qi—both being 2 Qua.
As soon as they repositioned their bed, the stomach pains dissolved like mist in the morning sun. Relief washed over them, but in the new location, a seemingly innocent detail caught my attention: a small window, just above their heads. Windows are gateways, and not always for good. I cautioned them, urging them to install drywall with insulation. “The cold Qi will creep in through that window,” I warned, “and it will bring you pain.”
They assured me they would make the change, and I left them with my blessing.
Yet, time has a way of exposing the truth. In early 2023, the husband’s shoulder throbbed with a deep ache, and his wife’s bones burned with pain, her sciatica flaring with a vengeance. The husband consulted a doctor, who gravely recommended surgery. His wife, too, found no relief, suffering endlessly from pain in her hips.
What they did not know was that the source of their agony wasn’t physical—it was elemental. The window above them, forgotten in their reluctance to alter the aesthetics of the room, was the silent culprit. The cold from the window, sharper than a blade, clashed with the warmth of the surrounding wall & their bodies. The cold Qi, unrelenting, seeped into their bones, inflaming their bodies, leaving them writhing in pain.The wind & cold is the invisible serial killer that brings pain.
I could not stand idly by. Concerned for their wellbeing, I urged the gentleman to delay his surgery. Returning to their home for the New Year’s annual Feng Shui adjustments, I asked: “Why didn’t you seal the window?”
His wife, hesitant, confessed that she feared it would ruin the room’s look.
No matter, I knew we had to act swiftly. I moved their bed back to the Southwest, but this time I placed them under the protective energy of the 8 Mountain Star. Within a week, the husband’s shoulder pain vanished. The surgery? Cancelled. His wife’s sciatica disappeared as though it had never been.
This, my friends, is the power of Feng Shui. A force unseen, yet undeniably potent. There are no permanent sanctuaries or endless afflictions. Each person’s birth chart reveals four good directions and four bad ones. Feng Shui is a dance of time and space—a delicate balance of energies. God grants us seven good years out of nine, but within that cycle lie two shadowed years. To live in harmony, we must ensure that we are never in the wrong place at the wrong time
