On the 6th March, we will enter the
new “Solar Term” called Jingzhe (驚蟄) “Insects
Awaken”. During this time according to the Chinese Almanac, the insects are
awakening from deep winter hibernation by the spring thunder. It is a period
when Mother Earth begins its restoration back to life after the harsh winter,
with the dormant beasts and insects all awakening to new vigor.
It is also a time, when the Yin
month ends and Mao begins. This time, the West sector becomes heavily afflicted
by negative qi. The yearly and monthly San Sha (3-Killings) are located together
with the yearly and monthly five yellow Sha. Adding ferocity to this already
heavily afflicted area is the monthly Sui Po (month breaker) in the You
direction. Please see the chart for more detail.
FENG SHUI MASTER TIPS:
EXTRA CAUTION is recommended when dealing with the entire West sector. It is best to
avoid disturbing this area caused by renovation, digging the ground, or
whatever activities that are strong enough to disturb the qi. You should also
try to avoid any renovation if your house is sitting on this direction, any
part of the entire West sector. This simply means that if your house is facing any part of the East sector, you should avoid any type of renovation during this period. In case renovation is unavoidable, please
consult a highly qualified Feng Shui master that knows how to deal with renovation when there is San Sha, Sui Po or 5 Yellow Sha.
If your school or master
advocates placement of a cure like salt-water cure, symbolic figure or
elemental cure, you should try to implement the cure you prefer just before the
change of month to avoid disturbance of the area when it is already afflicted. As
we always recommend, placing a cure is best done with an auspicious XKDG date.
If you are ill or in a weakened
state, it is best to avoid sleeping in this area during the solar term of Mao.
Additionally, because the yearly San Sha is also there, please try to avoid
sleeping in the entire West sector for the whole solar year, until around the
period of 21-22 Dec (Winter Solstice) when the yearly energy will change again.
Good luck and may you harness the
best Qi in the month of Mao.
