Feng shui (traditional Chinese: 風水; simplified Chinese: 风水; pinyin: fēng shuǐ; pronounced /ˈfəŋˌʃueɪ/ foong-shoy in Chinese Mandarin, "fheng-schway" in American English) is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to utilize the Laws of both heaven (astronomy) and Earth (geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive Qi. The original designation for the discipline is Kan Yu (traditional Chinese: 堪輿; simplified Chinese: 堪舆; pinyin: kānyú; literally: Tao of heaven and earth).

The words feng shui literally translate as "wind-water" in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the following passage of the Zhangshu (Book of Burial) by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty:

Qi rides the wind and scatters, but is retained when encountering water.

Traditional Feng Shui practice always requires an extremely accurate Chinese compass, or Luo Pan, in order to determine the directions in finding any auspicious sector in a desired location.

Using 5 Element Pagoda to Suppress the 5 Yellow Star Affliction in Feng Shui

Basically there are a few affliction star numbers in feng shui that you should watch up for. However, it is the number 5, known as the 5 yellow, that everyone should be most sensitive to. The reason behind is that 5 is a very powerful earth star, which brings a whole range of woes, from financial loss to unexpected obstacles, and from the sudden onset of severe danger to great aggravation, worry and misfortune.

In feng shui, the 5 is the ultimate disaster number and everyone succumbs to its powerful influence. To understand how severe is the 5 Yellow afflictions in your home, you need to know whether there are more than three 5s in the same grid or sector of the home. For instance, if the mountain star is 5, all occurring in the same sector, then residents with their main door located in the afflicted sector must remedy the situation using strong metal energy.

Nevertheless, the worse case scenario that you should take note is when the the 5 Yellow star number afflictions of this type occur in the sector containing the main dorr, as this will bring terrible misfortune influences to everyone in the house.

If the 5 Yellow star affliction occurs only in the bedroom, then only those in that room are afflicted. In fact, some feng shui masters have realized that the 5 Yellow is so powerful that it is a good idea to move out of the room during the time it is under its influence.

Feng Shui Remedies On How To Overcome The 5 Yellow Star Afflictions

According to various feng shui masters and practitioners since ancient times, the best feng shui cure to overcome the 5 yellow is to use metal energy literally to exhaust the earth energy of the number.

Hence, using a windchimes made up of metal completely is an excellent solution to suppressing the 5 yellow. In addition, the chimes also releases the sound of metal which greatly curb the affliction of the 5 yellow.

However, you should take note that in period 7, using a six-rod windchime made of brass would be a great feng shui cure. But in this present period, we are already in the period 8, and using a five-element pagoda made of brass is considered to be more powerful. The reason is that period 8 is an earth period when the 5 yellow becomes even stronger and more influential. The five-element pagoda is a conventional and powerful feng shui cure to the 5 yellow. And if you want to totally suppress the effect of the 5 yellow, you must obtain a pagoda with the powerful Chien metal trigram stamped on its base.

How To Use The 5 Element Pagoda And Where To Place It

From my many years of study on feng shui, the best way to use the five element pagoda cure is to unscrew each of the 5 element shapes that make up the charm and fill it to the brim with earth taken from your garden. Then, you should seal the earth inside the pagoda. Effectively, this will lock up the 5 Yellow, rendering it harmless.

Thereafter, you should place or hang the 5 Element Pagoda at the North of your house or room as the 5 Yellow sits directly at the North in this year 2009.
