Feng Shui shows up in our life as luck.
So we've devised this quiz to help you assess the degree to which
Feng Shui can help you improve your luck.
We've arranged the quiz in three sections - one for each type of luck.
For each question you can get more information by "clicking"

right to answer "Yes"
Heaven Luck
Heaven Luck is calculated by mapping out where the planets and stars
are when we are born because this determines how that cosmic chi
effects us.
Similar calculations can be used on buildings. Where the planets and
stars are in the sky when certain key aspects of a building are
created (e.g. when the foundations are laid), will create a resonance
in relation to the Feng Shui of that building. These aspects of the
Feng Shui will then have a powerful effect on the people who live and
work in that building. Some of the aspects are beneficial, and this
is experienced by things in life falling into place, going with the
flow as it were. And that’s exactly what it is, the cosmic chi
flowing harmoniously into our life. But when the chi is out of sync
because of bad Feng Shui, this will create illness, decay and life
becomes hard work! A bit like trying to swim up stream, against the flow.
As the planets and stars move on their celestial course around the
heavens, they also effect our lives in many different ways as the
cycles change. Some cycles are very long, only changing every few
thousand years. Others are much shorter, changing every two hours.
In Feng Shui we use some of these cycles to help chart these
celestial influences. The most common is the San Yuen cycle which is
associated with earth chi movement. This cycle is 180 years long and
changes every twenty years, 1984, 2004 and so on. Another is the Yuen
Hom cycle, which is associated with the much more powerful heaven chi
movement. It also is 180 years long and changes roughly every 20-25
years, as it is variable. It last changed in 1996 and we have noticed
that peoples lives changed dramatically in 1996. It will next change
in 2017.
A way to detect if a cyclical influence is causing a problem is to
notice if something suddenly isn’t working so well in your life,
even though everything is the same.( If your life changed in some way
like a house move, change of career, building alteration - internally
or externally, this would be another aspect of Feng Shui.) So if you
were living your life in the same way as always and something
suddenly went wrong, it may be a cyclical time aspect of the Feng Shui.

Earth Luck
Earth Luck is calculated by charting the chi as it flows around a
building. Where the door is positioned structurally and directionally
will effect the Feng Shui even to the smallest degree. The direction
that the chi flows down the street and into our front door can have
an influence in our life. Again this influence can be anything from
brilliant to terrible. By repositioning the door, an adverse
influence can be changed into a better one.
The interaction between the chi coming into a room, where the door is
positioned and the colour of the decorations and furnishings in a
room can vary from a room feeling energized, to a room feeling
drained. So clever use of colour can help to harmonize our
environment. By similar calculations it is possible to work out where
the good areas in a room are to enhance wealth, career and many other
aspects of our life.
Clutter.
If there is clutter, this is an indication that the chi isn’t
flowing as it should. As our outer world reflects our inner world
there could be many reason for this stuckness. The problem may be
anything from an underground stream, to a room decorated in the wrong
colour. Feng Shui is like detective work, but as always, when you
find the root cause of a problem it can usually be fixed. If you
think of the yin/yang cycle, clutter has the quality of yin energy
from slow moving to stuckness. Think what it feels like in the middle
of the night in the middle of the winter. To balance this energy we
need to introduce more yang energy in some way.
Stress.
Stress energy is the opposite end of the scale. This is energy that
is moving too fast. It has the quality of expansive yang energy. This
energy will reflect as feeling stressed all the time, unable to
relax, it seems as if there is not enough hours in a day. This type
of energy needs to slowed down in some way by introducing yin energy
and there are many ways to do this.
So a very simple why of looking at balancing earth chi is to think of
a pair of scales, with yin on one side of the scale and yang on the
other. The idea is to balance the energy in the middle. When you have
the middle ground the energy will flow harmoniously and so will our lives.

Personal Luck
Personal Luck is the energy that moves around the body.
When this energy is flowing easily around the body we feel positive,
happy and energized. As we work to unblock stuck energy, our personal
luck starts to improve.
It is possible to change this luck by working on ourselves, by
clearing negative thought patterns, releasing stuck emotion which we
store in our organs (e.g. anger is stored in the liver, sadness and
depression in the lungs, hate and impatience in the heart, worry in
the stomach and fear in the kidneys) and generally looking after our body,
As you can imagine this is a whole subject in itself and we're just
touching it briefly here.
