What is the meaning of the five ghosts?


Recommended Posts

  • Staff


Dear April,
1. Five ghosts is the " direct translation " of the Mandarin word used in the Eight House Theory.
2. Under this website's, Eight House Theory, in order not to `give' the wrong impression, I had named it " Spook ".
3. This is because, the word " Five Ghosts " can be quite misleading. It does not necessary mean that there are literally FIVE ghosts that " spook " a person.
4. In the Eight House theory, some of the common terms used for inauspicious sectors are:
a. death sector
b. disaster sector
c. Irritation
d. Spook = " Five Ghosts ".
5. Therefore, when we look at the above, the two `more serious' concerns are the sectors with death/disaster.
6. While `irritation' and `spook (5 ghosts)' suggest some stumbling block or occassional "downs".

7. Many Feng Shui cures utilise " metal " element as a cure. This can be e.g. the use of color e.g. white or pastel shades, metal e.g. grandfather clock, wind chimes.
8. In Traditional Feng Shui, the Flying Star analysis is used to accurately determine the use of metal.
9. In the Flying Star analysis, it can be done i.e.
20 year flying star;
Yearly flying star;
Monthly flying star;
Daily flying star;
Hourly flying star;
In minutes flying star
10. So, what you had mentioned is based on Yearly flying star.
11. For those who are new to Flying Star, please take note of the following:-
11.1 The Yearly Flying Star is often written by book authors to show the base # flying star of a year.
YEARLY FLYING STAR ANALYSIS
It may not be complete because it only takes into account the base number for the year.
11.2 Under Para 11.1, the about is not personalised to a person's house birth chart because it does not consider:-
a. The period the house was built
b. The direction of the main entrance. For e.g. 15 degrees.
c. It does not analyse all three factors i.e. the base number with the moutain star # and water star #.
12. In Traditional Feng Shui, it is usually analysed in conjuction with the 20 Year Flying Star period.
Where, this YEAR number is `overlapped' with the 20 Year Flying Star period to check for imbalances and if there is an imbalance caused e.g. at North sector which requires say a cure of " Fire element " at the North.
But, in the Yearly Flying star, the recommendation, could instead be the use of metal, then, only after a Flying Star consultant has looked at both charts, he may advise, say using "metal" cure for that particular year at that sector instead of "fire" cure.
Hope the above helps.
Cecil

Case Study: The Five (5) ghosts can also refer to the Five (5) spirits that some Chinese consider in each home:-

589551634_5ghostsorrather5spirits1.thumb.gif.04ed648e64ce89592ac4e7858cdb0ee5.gif

1. Spirit of the North,
2. Spirit of the South,
3. Spirit of the East,
4. Spirit of the West,
5. Spirit of the Centre of the home.
= Total of Five (5) good spirits.

Numerous coffee establishments arrange and position five teacups or, in this instance, five indistinguishable mugs.

According to this definition, these entities are viewed as benevolent spirits, distinct from actual ghosts, which can encompass both benevolent and malevolent entities in reality. If observed closely, the spirits depicted in my illustration each carry a heart. This is why we frequently encounter five types of fruits, such as five oranges, five apples, and five tea cups, arranged to please these five spirits. Please note that the illustration is symbolic and does not directly correlate with precise magnetic compass readings.

Case Study: This is another version of the Five "Ghosts"

805958097_ThefivemountaingodsofChina.thumb.png.0140cd9076ad1a6c3f3789b68a086fd4.png

In Chinese Mythology, there are Five (5) Emperors of the Mountains in China

The Five Mountain Emperors are:

1. Mount Song (Middle mountain)
2. Mount Tai (East)
3. Mount Hua (West)
4. Mount Heng 1 (North)
5. Mount Heng 2 (South)

Throughout ancient China, temples paid homage to one of the Emperors by making offerings and burning incense all year round. These rituals were carried out at temples specifically built in honor of the Five (5) emperors.

Numerous coffeeshops prepare five servings of beverages for the five spirits... This particular Coffeeshop takes it a step further by offering: 1 cup of tea with milk, plain

They may have a deep understanding of which spirit favors which preferences. Laugh out loud.

Under this definition, these spirits are considered good spirits.

And not associated with real ghosts: where in real life, there can be a mixture of both good and BAD (evil) Ghosts! 
 

If one sees clearly, these spirits in my illustration each holds a heart ?. LOL

This is why we often see five type of fruits and often five oranges, five applies, five tea cups displayed to make these 5 spirits, happy!

Note: Above is simply an illustration without really associating with the exact magnetic compass readings! It's the symbolism that is important, here.

 

Okay, can each of us have a fizzy drink? 
I like Fanta grapes the best!

Hello,

The Five Ghosts represent metal, wood, water, fire and earth or if using spacial symbolism north, south, east, west, and center, or colors or the Five Beasts.

Master Cecil,

Especially for us living in HDB, we can’t really choose the layout of the bedrooms, living, toilets, etc.  most factors affecting us to move to a certain location could be due to children’s school, work, or nearby helpful facilities. Also, spending too much on renovation to 100% suit our Bazi is not possible.  As such, a lot of us have layouts that fall in the same “4 inauspicious” zones of our Bazi.  Especially bedroom as a place to rest and procreate, what will you recommend as cure if bedroom falls in the 五鬼 sector? Bazi reference taken from Geomancy.net own calculator. 
 

Best Regards,

Joe

Case Study: Every site even this development has it's the Good, the Bad and the Ugly Units

1. Remember, even if a geomancer says that this is a good development. However, a good unit also depends on where it is within the development:

image.png.6a1342ebc3532d44bbe3fafe3ab28a79.png

2. Is your potential unit under the Good, the Bad or the Ugly?

image.png.6d4a74917ab7d962389d96ae7985fcd5.pngimage.png.bd794d1b7f491c9b83446ea6decded1c.png

3. Often if one is lucky, even if the unit is not so fantastic superficially. Some units are like an unpolished gem. While others unfortunately may be a hopeless rotten apple.

3.1. Just imagine, if the unit is like a 10 year old rundown 1,000 cc car. Even a good Feng Shui Master is unable to turn it into a good unit!  

 

THE KEY CONSIDERATION!

image.png.b996e340ebd63c1430835db31862a798.png

By the way, (above) this falls under Habit Number 11.

4. Under Habit 1, one possibility is by ranking one's bedroom type by stack/unit: 1st choice, 2nd choice etc...

In real life based on the bell curve, most homes fall in-between or the average. Only a small percentage of homes fall at the Apex or down-under the "Dumps".

BEWARE OF THIS FENG SHUI SCAM

Feng Shui suffers a bad reputation, today.

Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store. Their core business is not authentic Feng Shui.
But rather making big bucks by selling lots of useless commercial products in the name of Feng Shui.

Please give me a good reason not to buy such products. Here's one:

92168278-3B3E-456C-8A41-862E7EDA6537.jpeg
Okay, the above was written prior to the knowledge of COV-19. Here’s to another reason, why.

Many Feng Shui Masters and their shops are FAKES!

On Saturday, 14 March 2020, a WhatsApp from a past client

P.S. Frankly, I was just being extremely polite. Actually if one got the hint, as the British always say just throw the "bloody" thing away!

In real life based on the bell curve, most homes fall in-between or the average. Only a small percentage of homes fall at the Apex or down-under the "Dumps".

This development also has Stacks/Units that needs to take care of health concerns or issues...

Extract from an article from the above link:-

Staying @ Sturdee Residences
Stacks #02, #03, #04 & #05?

Case Study: Period 8 NE2/NE3 Facing NE2 37.5 - 52.4 & NE3 52.5 - 67.4
[Take extra care of health issues from 2024 onwards.]

755856020_5misfortunesickness.thumb.png.5d7d958a53f8824995f837db1e26371b.png

1. The tide has turned for worse for NE2/NE3 facing homes = Expect health issues.

2. This is because under Period 9, NE #8 weakens however #5 misfortune/sickness strengthens!

3. Expect health issues!

4. Good if bedrooms or living room / dining falls in the East and South.
