2006 The year of DOG

After a rather tumultuous year, the Year of the Rooster will draw to a close at the same time that the Year of the Dog will be ushered in on 29 January 2006. The primary element of the year 2006 is Fire, making 2006 the Year of the Fire Dog. The last time the Year of the Fire Dog occurred was in 1946.

The element of Fire in the charts, combined with the loyal nature of the Dog, will bring about a year of greater emphasis on the Dog's natural areas of focus. In particular, the year will have an increased emphasis on the conservation and defense of home, land and property. Those who have extensive interests in these areas would do well with a conservative approach aimed at retaining these assets and avoiding unnecessary risk. In short -- play it safe and minimize speculative investments.

Those who aim at acquiring property will find that the year of DOG offers many opportunities through friends and contacts to get your dream home. In addition, humanitarian and environmental concerns will play a major part in the year, and a donation to a charity on your part may bring about unprecedented opportunities.

Career-wise opportunities will be gained through networking and social connections, with possibilities for a promotion or a transfer at the ending half of the year.

On the home front, the year will offer both a busy domestic and social life, with possible new additions to the family as well as opportunities for romance in die middle to ending half of the year. Career demands may sap time away from friends and family, but equal emphasis must be given here; don't neglect your home and social life at the expense of work! If for nothing else, remember that the very opportunity you need may just come from someone close to you!

FENG SHUI writer Lillian Too was in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah in October 2006 to promote her latest book first printed in August 2006. Get Rich With Water is an expanded and improved edition of her first book on Water Feng Shui published in 1995-96, over ten years ago. This book may be suitable for feng shui believing Taoists, Buddhists, atheists. New Age liberals, and agnostic feng shui enthusiasts or learners.

Lillian has repeatedly told her students that learning the theory of feng shui is the easy part. Knowing the formulas may be a simple matter.

It is the correct application of feng shui that is the more challenging dimension of the practice.

To be good at application, practice is much needed. This book is to be used to loam the methods and to understand how to apply these methods.

It may not be suitable for those whose religion does not condone idolatry for the author advocates placement of items and idols in some aspects of feng shui geomancy which may not be acceptable by some followers of monotheistic religions.

Lillian is the president of the Buddhist Meditation Centre that is an associate of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) whose spiritual director is Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpache. The growth of the Tibetan Buddhist creed in Sabah is also notable. In Chapter 7, Lillian has a special page for Buddhists, specifically followers of Tibetan Buddhism on the Jhambala (wealth Buddha) that is also spelled Dzambala, on how to set up a Jhambala Waterfall. Those who wish to do this Wealth Buddha practice can also consult Losang Dragpa Buddhist Society at No. 1, Jalan 17/21F in Section 17 of Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Feng shui literally means 'wind water' so water makes up half of feng shui practice. Lillian writes that water in feng shui represents livelihood and wealth, it signifies incomes that flow into households as well as assets that are accumulated over time.

There is happy water - clean, flowing water that brings good fortune, and there is unhappy water which brings stagnation, blockages, misfortune and loss.

Water is the life blood of the environment. Without water there is no life and the world becomes arid, extremely dry and very yin. When there is water, life exists, plants grow and the world becomes suffused with yang energy.

Yet water itself as an element can be either yang or yin. It depends on whether the water is stagnant or moving, whether it is flowing or has accumulated into a pond, whether is dark with slime or clear with reflections of the world around it.

To get the most from water in feng shui, it is important to fully comprehend the meanings, symbolisms, attributes and associations of water, both as an element and as an important influence in the feng shui of time and space.

Lillian claims that one of the great promises of feng shui is that it contains several methods which anyone can use to enhance their wealth and income luck.

When placed correctly around, within or outside the home, water has the ability to attract prosperity chi. Anyone can get rich with water.

This book covers several different ways water can be placed to become powerful feng shui features to attract wealth. Chapter 1 expounds on water in feng shui.

Chapter 2 touches on the fundamental principles of using water. Chapter 3 explains the Water Dragon Feng Shui Formula.

Chapter 4 is on constructing the Water Dragon. Chapter 5 covers landscape configuration of water while Chapter 6 contains more feng shui ways with water. Chapter 7 demonstrates activating the Water Star 8 in the Flying Star chart.

With beautiful color photographs and diagrams, Lillian shows how to:

Capture the wealth chi of natural water in the environment
Position your pond in your garden
Energies the wealth potential of your pool
Build water dragons correctly and accurately
Activate growth luck to increase asset wealth
Locate the exit directions of drains to bring wealth
Rear fish for abundance
Use the formulas to create wealth feng shui


For residents of link houses, townhouses and apartments who may not have the option of building an outdoor water feature such as a pond or pool, Lillian recommends either an aquarium or a miniature indoor water feature.

She says aquariums with fish symbolize abundance but are difficult to look after unless keeping fish is a passionate hobby. The best place for aquariums is in the living room or patio. Yang water is more powerful than yin water so the water should be moving.

There should ideally be 'life' in the water which can be provided by the presence of a fountain or by fish or any kind of flow artificially created by modern day pumps and pipes.

Lillian reiterates that water features in condominiums should never be large, as if too large, this is sure to overwhelm the chi of the residence and this transforms good water into harmful water. As such, it would be preferable to get a ready-made water feature that brings in water chi to create wealth luck.

每個卦由三個爻所組成，由下而上分別是地人天  ，此三者又稱三才，有此三者方能構成事物，故三爻成一卦，稱之為小成。特別值得注意的是，易經的爻位是由下而上算的，以之代表萬物由下而上成長。

八卦一般又稱為小成卦，分別以八種自然界的元素做為表徵。

八卦真正的奧秘在於，每個卦並不是定義死的，它祇是代表一種屬性，一種作用現象，因時因地而有不同的解釋，解釋的依據全在於卦本身的卦德。(白話點說就是屬性啦)
　

乾卦，卦德為健，健乃剛健之意。以天為表徵。

兌卦，卦德為說，說乃喜悅之意。以澤為表徵。

離卦，卦德為麗，麗乃明麗之意。以火為表徵。

震卦，卦德為動，動乃活動之意。以雷為表徵。

巽卦，卦德為入，入乃進入之意。以風為表徵。

坎卦，卦德為陷，陷乃險陷之意。以水為表徵。

艮卦，卦德為止，止乃停止之意。以山為表徵。

坤卦，卦德為順，順乃柔順之意。以地為表徵。

八卦的表徵取自它的卦德，用於諸物則又有諸種不同的解釋了。這種可變性正是它歷數千年不衰的關鍵。在此可以舉個易學必備的常識，正好用來佐證。

常常可以看到八卦圖，如果您注意的話，八卦圖有兩種。( 其實私看過第三種，那個...應該是亂畫的。)一種名為先天八卦又稱伏羲八卦，另一種則名為後天八卦又稱文王八卦。分別代表了易的理則與應用，故稱先天與後天。先天八卦依據伏羲歸納之理而來，故又稱伏羲八卦。後天八卦依據文王演繹卦辭而來，故又稱文王八卦。最有趣的地方在於此二者皆是以方位排列來畫出的，但卻截然不同，也就是說在先天和後天上，八卦所代表的方位有所不同。

先天八卦 兌 乾 巽 離 　 坎 震 坤 艮

後天八卦 巽 離 坤 震 　 兌 艮 坎 乾

特別要注意的，八卦圖的方位與一般慣用的地圖剛好相反，方位是上南下北，左東右西。卦的排法則是由圓心向外看。

先天八卦	後天八卦
兌 乾 巽 離 　 坎 震 坤 艮	巽 離 坤 震 　 兌 艮 坎 乾
先天八卦很容易記，依八卦的順序，分別是乾兌離震半圈，巽坎艮坤逆向半圈。由於它依易理而來，所以兩兩陰陽相對，每卦的對面都是對應的卦，所以陰陽爻一定相反。	後天八卦則較難記，但它主要代表易的應用，很多地方都是後天八卦推演出來的。一般來說，用天澤火雷風水山地配合方位來記會容易些。西北是天，西南是地，東北是山，東南是風。南火北水，東雷西澤。
