Fengshui, trigrams- the subtle aspect

Evaluation and confirmation based on the stars-this phrase is very important.

In fact it is a rule that should underscore all fengshui evaluations. It is not something new that has been created recently for it is an extension of the eight trigrams. More likely, practitioners through time had relieved too heavily on set formula and pithy instructions so much so that the true nature of fengshui was lost.

Most evaluations of fengshui rely on the natal chart. It is a very useful aid in the understanding of the nature of the fengshui that are present. The only fault is that too heavy a reliance on it could result in conclusions that may be off the mark. Good fengshui requires reading of the chart together with assessing the situation at hand.

One does not have to be a psychic or sensitive or anything of that sort but one does need to differentiate the attributes that the environment presents so that their effect on the fengshui can be evaluated or better still confirmed. If this evaluation and confirmation based on the stars is not practised then the job is not complete. It is just like aligning the wheels of our car. Like the fengshui natal chart, the instrument that were built to take measurements of the wheels of our car do not require much intelligence to use them. The machines, on their own, possess no intelligence. The good mechanic cleverly makes adjustments to the wheels base on what he reads off the instrument. He also observes the wear of the tyres for tell tale signs of what is wrong. This is where his judgment is called for. There is one mechanic in Seremban who is acknowledged as the best in wheel alignments. Where the latest instrument fails to determine the fault, he can do so just by taking the car for a short drive round the block. That skill comes from experience and understanding. Likewise, the luopan, natal chart and trigrams are but instruments. Fengshui requires making use of the information available to achieve the desired result.
