The I Ching: Hexagram Yu (豫) - "Yu" is interchangeable with "Yu" (余).

Legend has it that when King Zhou of Shang began using ivory chopsticks, his uncle Ji Zi was very worried. Ji Zi's concern wasn't just about the chopsticks themselves, but about how a person's pursuit of luxury could lead to ever-growing desires and ultimately a loss of proper respect and restraint. The *Lüshi Chunqiu* (Master Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals), in its chapter on ancient music, also records that the Shang people tamed elephants and used them in warfare. Besides, elephants were also used to aid in production. Whether in war or production, elephants could be helpful, amplifying human power and leading to greater gains. With increased harvests and more abundant resources, people naturally feel satisfied, and the character "豫" (Yu) gradually came to mean harmony and happiness. "豫" can also be related to "余" (Yu). The silk manuscript of "余" helps us understand "豫" from another perspective: surplus, abundance, a state of wealth and affluence. Therefore: Elephant → Utilizing the power of elephants → Increased harvest → Surplus, affluence → Satisfaction, happiness → 豫 (Yu). However, the *Yu* hexagram doesn't stop there with "happiness" and "happiness." While the character "豫" (yù) signifies joy and peace, it doesn't encourage indulging in pleasure alone. Rather, it emphasizes acting in accordance with the times. The core principle is: "Acting in accordance with the times."

Does an expensive house necessarily have good feng shui? Understand these 5 things before buying a house.

An expensive house doesn't necessarily have good feng shui. House prices reflect market value, while feng shui assesses whether the environment and layout are suitable for long-term living. Before buying a house, understand these five things: location, view, layout, family needs, and actual value.

Feng Shui: Site Selection

A good location selection requires more than just looking at floor plans; it also requires comprehensive analysis of: ⚠️the surrounding environment ⚠️building orientation ⚠️lighting and ventilation ⚠️future development plans ⚠️the impact of surrounding buildings ⚠️the residents' astrological chart, etc. Sometimes, the same apartment type can yield completely different results depending on the floor, the building number, or even different units within the same building.

Feng Shui: In the principles of Feng Shui, obtaining water is paramount, followed by sheltering from the wind.

As the ancients said, "In the art of Feng Shui, obtaining water is paramount, followed by concealing the wind." As my master said, "I've dedicated my entire life to studying Feng Shui." Understanding how wind arrives, how water flows, and how Qi gathers seems simple, but the real key is identifying the core issues. Distinguish between priorities and secondary matters; address the big picture and major problems first, then adjust the details. With the right direction, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

2026 Feng Shui Wealth Position Q&A

Many people believe that simply placing treasure basins, Pixiu (mythical creatures), or flowing water basins in the wealth corner will improve their fortune. However, the wealth corner is not simply about placing feng shui items. Feng shui emphasizes "gathering and retaining qi," meaning that wealth can only accumulate when qi can stay. A true wealth corner, besides having the conditions to gather qi, must also be judged in conjunction with the location of the wealth star in Flying Star Feng Shui and the external landforms. It cannot be determined solely by looking at the corner near the entrance. The arrangement of water is particularly crucial—the size of the water flow should be in harmony with the space, the direction of the water flow should be gentle rather than direct, and the water quality should be clear and natural. Encircling water is beneficial for gathering wealth, while water flowing in a reverse curve is prone to leakage. If the external environment of the house cannot gather qi or if there are piercing or direct flow patterns inside the house, even placing numerous feng shui items will be ineffective. The true wealth corner is not about the placement of items, but about whether qi can come, gather, and stay.

2026 Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) Wealth Position Q&A

Many people ask if their birth chart indicates wealth luck or when they will have windfall fortune. In fact, wealth luck isn't simply about increasing wealth stars; it's about finding suitable ways to acquire wealth based on the characteristics of your birth chart. Those with a weak self-element should strengthen themselves before pursuing wealth, avoiding haste or high-leverage investments. Those with a strong self-element should learn to turn opportunities into wealth and proactively expand their business. Those with abundant wealth should learn to preserve it, establishing good financial habits to control risk. Those with less wealth should cultivate their own value, attracting wealth through expertise, reputation, and trust. Birth charts don't tell you whether you'll become rich, but rather remind you when to act, when to hold on, and when to wait. Small fortunes depend on fate, great fortunes on luck, and lasting wealth on ability.

Feng Shui – Sharing the Method of Finding Dragon Veins and Locating Acupoints

Finding the Dragon's Lair: Not Just About Size – A Brief Discussion of the Methods of Gathering Qi in Feng Shui. In traditional Feng Shui, "finding the dragon's lair" has always been considered the core of geomancy. Many people, when first encountering Feng Shui, often believe that the larger the mountain, the better; the wider the view, the better; and the more water, the more wealth. In reality, the true focus of Feng Shui is not on "spectacle," but on "whether Qi can gather." The ancients often said, "Qi disperses with the wind and stops at water." Therefore, a truly auspicious site must be able to shelter from the wind and gather Qi, with Yin and Yang in harmony, and with mountains and water in harmony. III. Water Gathering at the Center of Heaven: A Symbol of Wealth Gathering. Feng Shui places great importance on the "Bright Hall." The central position of the Bright Hall is called the "Heavenly Heart." If water can gather, circulate, and flow slowly at the Heavenly Heart, it is considered a Qi-gathering formation. Water represents wealth, signifying stable wealth and making it easier to achieve stable development. Conversely, if the water rushes, plunges straight down, flies diagonally, or flows chaotically, it is called a "broken formation." This is because water, besides representing wealth, also represents the flow of Qi. When water cannot be contained, energy is easily dispersed. Therefore, truly good water is not simply about the presence of water, but rather about a gentle, contained, and unhurried flow of water that embraces the land. Only such a layout can truly gather energy and accumulate wealth.

Feng Shui – Door, Main Room, and Stove

In Feng Shui, a house's layout emphasizes the "door, master bedroom, and stove." ✅ The door is the entrance for Qi (energy), ensuring its flow. ✅ The master bedroom influences the occupants' energy and spirit. ✅ The stove is the kitchen, closely related to wealth and health. If these three are in harmony, one can naturally improve their fortune through good Feng Shui. Often, it's not that the house itself is bad, but rather that the layout wasn't optimally planned. 💥 🔺If you're planning renovations, moving, or feel your home's energy is stagnant, it's advisable to consult your home's Feng Shui before making any plans.☯️
