The Five Elements


Generating Cycle Control Cycle

Creation and Destruction Cycles

There are five Chinese elements; wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each element is strongly related to one another, and there are many mnemonic devices to help remember them, such as:

Creation Cycle

Wood feeds a fire = > Fire makes ash (earth) = > Earth contains metal = > Metal holds water (as in a pall or bucket Water breeds wood

A few examples of how to interpret this include:

Creation: Water gives life to Wood. Wood gives life to Fire. Fire gives life to Earth (ash). Earth gives life to Metal. Metal gives life to Water.

Destruction: Wood's roots separate and break open the Earth.

Earth absorbs Water

Water smothers Fire.

Fire melts Metal

Metal penetrates Wood.

Much like the popular Yin-Yang symbol of Chinese astrology uses opposing force to promote the flow of energy, the five Chinese elements act in tandem, relate to one another, dance with one another, have specific attributes that separate one from the other, yet each depends on all the others to give it life.

Feng Shui Magic Square Flaying Stars

Feng Shui Flying Stars are nine numbers in the Lo Shu magic square. The Lo Shu square of magic numbers superimposed on the back of a turtle in China thousands of years ago. Ancient Chinese studied the mathematical theory of this natural sign and applied it to many applications. The Lo Shu square applied to the Feng Shui Flying Stars in the Tang dynasty (618-905 A.C.).

 Introduction of Magic Square Flying Star

The theory of Purple White Flying Stars is one of the advanced Chinese Feng Shui application to find the lucky area in your house. The Flying Stars are changing with the passage of time. It's quite complicated to calculate the locations of Flying Stars at month, day, and hour levels. The following are the simple introduction for the Purple White Flying Stars. Since the terminology of Chinese Feng Shui is hard to memorize, we will try to use the colors and numeric numbers to explain the Flying Star application. Some Purple White Flying Stars applications here are used only by experienced Feng Shui masters.

The Lo Shu square is also called Nine-Palace Diagram, a.k.a. Nine-Kong Diagram. Each grid in the Lo Shu square is filled with a unique arrangement of the numbers one to nine. The sum of three numbers in any direction in the square is 15. In the Feng Shui Flying Star application, the numbers around the grid fly while the time is changing. Every hour, day, month, year, and every 20 years has its own arrangement of numbers around the square. Our sample applications will use the year and month cycles.

Magic Square The numbers in the grid have the color names. One, Six, and Eight are white. The number of two is black. Three and Four are green. Five is yellow. Seven is red. Nine is purple. In general, purple and white are lucky signs in the Feng Shui theory. Therefore, Chinese Feng Shui named it as Purple White Flying Stars.

By combining the Lo Shu square and the Later Heaven Pa Kua, a.k.a. Post Heaven Ba Gua, symbols (Pa is eight in Chinese), the Magic Square becomes Nine Palace Eight Kua diagram, which is applied to the areas of Chinese Feng Shui, medicine, architecture, and arts.

Since the Lo Shu magic square is filled in with the Kua symbols, it becomes the eight-sided Pa Kua symbol . People identify the different Flying Star Square by the center number. The center number is called the Kua Number in Feng Shui.

The top side of the Nine-Palace Diagram of the Flying Stars indicates the north and the bottom side of the Nine-Palace Diagram indicates the south. Therefore,

  • White 1 is the owner at the north side of the Nine-Palace Diagram
  • Black 2 is the owner at the southwest corner of the Nine-Palace Diagram
  • Green 3 is the owner at the east side of the Nine-Palace Diagram
  • Green 4 is the owner at the northeast corner of the Nine-Palace Diagram
  • Yellow 5 is the owner at the center area of the Nine-Palace Diagram
  • White 6 is the owner at the northwest corner of the Nine-Palace Diagram
  • Red 7 is the owner at the west side of the Nine-Palace Diagram
  • White 8 is the owner at the northeast corner side of the Nine-Palace Diagram
  • Purple 9 is the owner at the south side of the Nine-Palace Diagram

 When looking for the auspicious area in your house using the Flying Stars Square, you need to know the shape of an area is like a pizza slice, not a square. To find the eight slice sectors is to find the center point in your house by drawing the blueprint of the house, put a compass on the center point of your house and divide your house into 8 sectors on the center point of your house. For example, the northern area is from 337.5 degrees to 22.5 degrees. The eastern area is from 67.6 degrees to 112.5 degrees.

Our applications here are simply using 8 directions of the flying stars. The Feng Shui professionals use Lo Pan (compass) to measure at least 24 directions of a house and give people more detailed information.

 Auspicious and Inauspicious Flying Stars

Some Feng Shui Flying Stars bring people fortune and some don't. Purple and White Flying Stars are auspicious. Green Flying Stars are next auspicious. Black and Yellow are inauspicious.
