Period 9 of the Feng Shui cycle marks a transformative phase, signifying renewal and significant change. It marks the convergence of Early and Later Heaven Luck, creating a potent force for ushering in positive transformations and fresh opportunities.

In Chinese metaphysics, Period 9 is closely associated with the Fire element and is represented by the Li Trigram (离卦). This alignment has led to the rapid rise of industries linked to the Li Trigram, such as technology-driven economies and IT-related trends in our contemporary society.

With the advent of Period 9 in 2024, it becomes increasingly important to tap into the energies of this period to invite abundance and success into our lives.

Mountain and Water Stars

The principle of “山管人丁，水管财” is a cornerstone in Imperial Feng Shui, translating to “Mountains govern benefactors, authority, and harmony, while Water governs wealth, opportunities, and intuition.” This principle underscores a fundamental aspect of Imperial Feng Shui: balance is the key to success in life.

Mountain landforms symbolise Yin energy, whereas water represents its complementary Yang force. Imperial Feng Shui recognises two auspicious stars — the Mountain and Water Stars – each with its unique role in creating harmony and balance within living and working spaces. Mountain Stars signify influence and support from benefactors, while water stars govern wealth, opportunities, and intuition. Mountains are associated with stability, while flowing water symbolises the inflow of wealth, suggesting a smooth path to success in personal and professional endeavours.

Historically, Imperial Feng Shui masters in the Qing dynasty faced both technical and economic challenges in orienting and constructing imperial complexes to adhere to the principles governing the placements of Mountain and Water Stars. Due to the shifting positions of the auspicious Mountain and Water Stars every 20 years, in accordance with the change in the Feng Shui periods, innovations needed to be made to address these issues.

This need for innovation drove the Qing dynasty masters to develop ingenious and practical solutions — eventually culminating in the first Jadeite Mountains. Today, these Jadeite Mountains have influenced another of Imperial Harvest’s latest treasures: the Imperial Harvest Red Phoenix Mountain.

Direct Spirit (正神) and Indirect Spirit (零神)

The concepts of Direct and Indirect Spirit are crucial to harness the auspicious energies of this new era in Feng Shui. The Direct Spirit refers to the directional area of the timely period star. To activate the Direct Spirit in Period 9, mountains or hills should be positioned in the following respective directions relative to your property: South, West, Northeast, and Northwest.

Conversely, the Indirect Spirit represents the directional area opposite the timely star. Activating the Indirect Spirit in Period 9 calls for water bodies to be located in the North, East, Southeast, and Southwest relative to your property. Staying attuned to these changes and adapting practices accordingly is essential.
