Feng Shui Directory

 In Chinese’s believe, or norm, the number 8 in Cantonese pronounces “Ba”, and in Mandarin’s pronunciation 8 is “Ba”. It has a similar sound of “Fa” which in Chinese means “rich or abundant.” In our culture if we say someone “Fa Joh” in Cantonese. It means the person has suddenly made a lot of Money and become rich.

 

Not only that, the date is also the 8^th day in lunar calendar.

 

From traditional Chinese date choosing point of view, we need to look at the Heavenly stems and Earthly braches in the date. We need to convert the date into Heavenly Stems and Earthly branches. For any given time or moment, it consists of the year, the month, the date and the hour. (Well it can be minute or second. But Chinese Astrology works on 2 hours slot.) And each year, each month, each day and each hour is represented by 1 Heavenly Stem and 1 Earthly Branch, it is called a pillar. So there are Year Pillar, Month Pillar, Day Pillar and Hour Pillar. All they make up so called 4 Pillars. And these 4 pillars can be applied to different areas. For example, we look at someone’s 4 pillars constructed by their birthday, then we call tell that person’s up and down. In their life, what area they should get in to achieve their full potentials.

 

Picking a good day to launch or perform an event is very import. By using the bad day it will lead to bad or negative result. By using a good day it will lead to positive result.

 

By looking back the history, there are a lot of big events using bad day. The worst of its type is call broken day or clashed day.  To name a few:

 

1963, November, 22^nd . It is a broken or a clash day. You know what happened that day? JFK was killed.

 

2000, November, 6^th, it is a broken or clash day too. It was the US Election Day. By using the bad day, as the result Bush and AL Gore went to court.

 

Well Bush won!

 

2001, January 20^th, yes you are right. It is a broken day too. Bush was sworn in that day.

 

Then you see what happened after Bush sworn in. 911, Iraq war and so on.

 

You know the day he declared war with Bin laden on 2001 October 7^th is a broken day. He sent the troop to out Iraq on the 2003, March 20^th. Yes you are so clever. It is a broken day.

 

What about recently? There a major Freeway opened in June. It was a broken day too. And if you look at their share price now you can understand why bad day will lead to bad result.

 

Ok, let look at the Olympic opening date today. The 8^th August, 2008, at 8 pm.

 

I believed that the date is specially picked by a Chinese Astrology. And out there, most Chinese Astrologers say this is a very good day. However, from my point of view, there is a little bit imperfect. (May they need to consider the broadcasting time for other part of the world)

So, after the construction of the opening date, we have this chart. 

 

  

The Chart shows it has a very strong Metal element composition. In Astrology Metal means: competitive, fairness, justice and loyalty.

 

The Year, Month and Day Branches, have chemical reaction to form a Harmony group which produces Water Element. The Water Element here represents the spectators. This Olympic game I believe will have the most spectators or audiences around the world this time. In China alone, we have over 1.25 billion populations.

 

The Harmony group is Water Element. The Beijing City is Sitting North Facing South, North is Water Element and it is also called the North coming Mountain Dragon. The Harmony group, the Water element also can help to strength the North Coming Mountain Dragon, Mountain Dragon means people. The Harmony group of water is to further attract more audiences!
