Various methods are deployed for identifying wealth sectors in Feng Shui. The foundation of Classical Feng Shui was built on the principles of Imperial Feng Shui. However, many Classical Feng Shui Masters conduct audits with severely compromised knowledge due to a lack of proper lineage and imparting of knowledge.

In this article, we compare the methods commonly employed by Classical Feng Shui masters to identify wealth sectors with the authentic Imperial Feng Shui methods.

Classical Methods

Self-taught classical Feng Shui practitioners often use the 45-degree method to identify auspicious wealth sectors due to its simplicity. To identify the wealth sector using the “45 Degree Corner” method, we need to look for the longest visible corner from the entrance of the house. This wealth corner would be 45 degrees diagonally left from the entrance of the house.

The Classical Eight Mansion and Xuan Kong Eight Mansion are popular classical Feng Shui principles. They propose that there are eight types of houses based on eight facing directions, a theory built upon the principles of the Eight Trigrams.

Facing Direction	Gua Number	Life Generating (生气)	Heavenly Doctor (天医)	Longevity (延年)	Stability (伏位)	Mishaps (祸害)	Five Ghosts (五鬼)	Six Killings (六煞)	Life Ending (绝命)
S	1 (坎)	SE	E	S	N	W	NE	NW	SW
W	3 (震)	S	N	SE	E	SW	NW	NE	W
NW	4 (巽)	N	S	E	SE	NW	SW	W	NE
N	9 (离)	E	SE	N	S	NE	W	SW	NW
NE	2 (坤)	NE	W	NW	SW	E	SE	S	N
SE	6 (乾)	W	NE	SW	NW	SE	E	N	S
E	7 (兑)	NW	SW	NE	W	N	S	SE	E
SW	8 (艮)	SW	NW	W	NE	S	N	E	SE

According to the Classical Eight Mansion theory, the Life Generating (生气) sector is defined as the wealth sector.

Xuan Kong Eight Mansion

Facing Direction	Gua Number	Primary Wealth	Secondary Wealth
S	1 坎	SE	NA
W	3 震	N	W
NW	4 巽	E	NW
N	9 离	SW	E
NE	2 坤	SE	NA
SE	6 乾	SW	E
E	7 兑	N	SW
SW	8 艮	W	NA

Based on Xuan Kong Eight Mansion theory, the concepts of the Five Elements and the Flying Stars are combined to derive the auspicious wealth sectors. However, common sense would suggest that these theories are illogical.

These methods have significant limitations. The primary flaw of Classical Eight Mansion and Xuan Kong Eight Mansion theories is their failure to consider crucial factors such as planetary movements, celestial constellations, and the construction year of the property. This oversight leads to an incomplete analysis of the house’s Feng Shui. Additionally, the reliance on outdated or improperly transmitted knowledge results in substantial gaps in understanding. Consequently, classical Feng Shui methods often produce erratic and inconsistent results, undermining their reliability and effectiveness.
