Probably, if you were to do 9 Ki on behalf of those BA staff to designate the best time for a labor strike, you wouldn’t have picked annual Star 4 Wood (for aeronautics) in the 1 Water Luoshu Palace.

As always, anything goes and all is possible, but we would have more likely taken our subject Star (here Star 4), ‘reasoned backward’ from the 8 Earth Luoshu Palace, to get to one month before that and arrive at the 7 Metal Luoshu Palace, then, once more one month prior to that to locate Star 4 Wood in the 6 Metal Luoshu Palace, then tell them to go ahead and have the labor strike with Star 4 Wood in the 6 Metal Palace. So, here – and if taken fast forward from the 6 Metal Palace – you’d have more or less a ’string of subsequent Luoshu’ by which we would generally see labor strikes evolve.

Judging only from annual Star 4, this implies labor strikes concerning aeronautics should best be ‘out’. So, that’s back to the monthly Luoshu, if we insist on such labor strikes for 2010. The next 3 Wood month in 2010 will be October, placing monthly Star 4 Wood in the 6 Metal Palace. An added weak point here would be, labor strikers would miss ‘momentum’ as this reaches considerably beyond summer holidays, but throughout November and December, there would be better prospects, as in particular during December (monthly Star 4 Wood in the 8 Earth Luoshu Palace for said ‘closure’) they could really stir up the pressure in view of the upcoming December holidays and probably be successful.

Following this reasoning, again, let’s say Star 4 is aeronautics and we’d hold back until Star 4 appears in the 6 Metal Luoshu Palace, which Palace is ‘great’ for labor strikes.

The Star arriving at the 6 Metal Palace would be riding on the wave of inward bound, swirling if you will, energy, in the process tapping into Star 6’s organization, gaining leadership, authority, thereby convincing power. In a perfect world, we’d initiate our labor strike today, then reach our objectives the next day, but mostly we will see our labor strike be lifted over several monthly Luoshu. So, after we planted our seed with Star 4 in the 6 Metal Palace, one month later our Star 4 Wood will reside in the 7 Metal Palace, which is a good time as any to have negotiations take shape and reap the ‘finance’ and ‘credibility’ generally associated with the 7 Metal Palace, while – as always – we’d of course review the Stars appearing by opposite position to see developments. A good month also for many labor strikes to be resolved, but failing this, we’d have to bide our time and still wait for the Star to settle in the 8 Earth Luoshu Palace for the matter to finally come to closure.

If we were to do any such planning based in 9 Ki (we could arrange events by the hand of other Metaphysical systems such as Yi Jing Divination – Wen Wang Gua – and the like), this would be a typical progression concerning labor strikes in general.

By itself, annual Star 4 Wood in the 1 Water Luoshu Palace wouldn’t immediately strike as a strong enough wave to have our surf board ride on and be carried to the beach. It is possible, yet, not likely.

The last thing on account of Luoshu directionology has not been said.

If you ask ‘have you ever tried those directions’, we have to understand that basically, even as we sit in a chair and not moving a muscle, we’d be committing Luoshu directionology already, in that, if we take a complete annual-, monthly- and daily Luoshu, that could be adding up to Star 5 approaching us from out of the magnetic directions three times. Taken to the letter, we couldn’t get from our chair and head into those three directions. If added to this our own 9 Ki Star, this could be blocking out even more directions and we’re not even involving directionology concerning the Chinese Zodiac, i.e. the Twelve Earthly Branches. By the time you laid down your pen, you’d be chained from here to Mars and that cannot ever be the property of Luoshu.

At the end of the day, we should be able to bring any directionology (actually compatibility) to our benefit, but yes, you can ask the question, to whos benefit it would be to at all have anyone ‘not travel’ into this or that direction for any time. Before we can say ‘ah’, Luoshu would be taken for a jail, rather than the compass it really is.

It is all just a matter of ‘affinity’. If we’d take your base 9 Ki Star, a certain magnetic resonance may be suggested. All other stars may alternate from lesser or greater affinity. Lesser affinity shouldn’t at all mean ‘can’t move ahead’. Affinity may not be synonymous to ‘ally’, disparity not synonymous to ‘animosity’.

Yes, the way directionology was presented, I would strongly suggest we’d strip the going approaches from a number of layers that – in my estimation – would be against you, rather than at all coming to benefit you. Going directionologies come with serious flaws.

As it is, we wouldn’t be going to move about the streets unprepared, be that with or without our at all 9 Ki technique. We make sure we have at least some crude idea where we’d be heading, carry our passport, sufficient cash, be rested and in anticipation of any events we may encounter along the way.

If I was to tell you upfront ‘you will have someone in the audience disturb your lecture’, you would take this as notional, still you’d be on your way. If no-one ever told you, and with your lecture being disturbed, that’s soon enough for you to respond appropriately. Either way, nothing would have kept you from doing your lecture.

Rather than immobilizing you by preventing you’d move into any of your inauspicious directions, so that we’d prevent you from breaking a leg, let me be the one telling you, you could be breaking your leg while traveling into any other direction, including your most favorable. Any single Star inhabits ‘plus’ and ‘minus’, so that a ‘good’ Star may hold unfavorable events, an ‘unbeneficial’ Star may bring you great achievement.

By same token, you’d just review any said ‘unfavorable’ directions concerning your 9 Ki map, then be prepared – with a ‘readiness’, clarity and open mind – and you may be reaping the beneficial just the same.

We say ‘if it doesn’t kill you….’. Luoshu is a very potent tool, I haven’t seen it fail me even once. You are free – and should actually feel you are – to move about any which way you so choose. If you travel into a Star (just any will do), comes out you end up in hospital with a broken leg, the fortune of it may be, you may end up marrying the nurse, see.

Anything at all concerning all in 9 Ki, including directionology, study it to closest detail, making sure no-one in the field be topping your knowledge. Then, understand the true ‘advance and retreat’ embedded by Luoshu, see the Push Hands of it, and have Luoshu ‘catapult’ you ‘out there’, all the time.

Today is Mao Rabbit day, so in fact, yes, (and just as for Zi Rat, Wu Horse and You Rooster time) it could only be either a 1 Water, 4 Wood or 7 Metal day. I am sure you will have seen how several sources for 9 Ki day calendars may give different day Ki for same date.

Concerning day Ki, one can best learn to rely on one’s own sensitivity. I’d take a typical bad hair day, then decide ‘my Star must be in the 1 Water Palace today’ (which it will be in my case and I’d know upon waking up), then note each following bad hair day, see if there’s 9 days in between, then have a good idea on which is which.

It seems it would be more of a task for some people to at all figure their bad hair day – learn how to recognize it and all it pertains to – than the eventual effort required to figure out which day Star it is.

On my bad hair days, me and matter don’t seem to be in agreement. I’d grab a spoon and the thing has a mind of its own and flies place else, or I’d be simply stumbling over my own shadow. So, I’d be noting my shadow every 9 days on average (well, it is good to be reminded we have one, at least).

So, yes, 1 Water at the central Luoshu Palace, also if even for one day, would be a good candidate for water cannons. Another good candidate if a mob involved (Star 2) is the 2-1 combo.

You will remember how March 2010 was a 1 Water month. We hadn’t seen any water cannons in the streets, but blood being another property for Water, you will have seen blood spilled in the city of Bangkok by protesters.

This month of May 2010 being an 8 Earth month and Star 8 amongst others being ’small stones’, we saw protesters throwing stones. I have seen same many times in the past.

So we went from a 1 Water month and ‘blood in the streets’, to a 9 Fire month and ‘armored vehicles and riot personnel in the streets’ to an 8 Earth month and stones throwing.

Maravilloso, don’t you think? So, meanwhile, it is good to know that you’re on top of the news with Luoshu in your lap too.

Yes, we would mind Luoshu direction, then again, perhaps with some adaptations that might slightly differ from what’s commonly practiced in either Flying Star Feng Shui or 9 Star Ki circles, for example, I would be not so much as associating directions with (un)favorable perse, at least not to then focus there.

Whereas incorporating Wuxing into directionology (compatibility) would be one of our first notions in analyzing any Luoshu, at the same time it is just one of indicators and much more to gain once moving passed that and diving into Luoshu by deeper layers.

Fortunately in actual practice, directions become a bit more lenient than the ‘Killing Sword’ type of connotations that seem to have been at the base of the doctrine and that would be great at warfare, but would scare the you-know-what out of people once applied on their relationships.

Besides, to have just the Star or the direction (Luoshu Palace) is one, to see duration, pressure, speed, intensity, regularity and so on – besides context and probability – is another, where additionally and for personal divination, we’d factor in the own health outlook and ‘readiness’ at the time.

The first thing I’d do for my students is, put the so-called 4 auspicious and 4 inauspicious directions into perspective. The emperor knew very well that, if a person with a particular 9 Ki Star was to travel into a specific direction, he’d be reaping money, authority, thereby autonomy. That’s the last thing the emperor could use, as he’d make sure all autonomy to pull onto himself. It is why the emperor liked to keep 5 Yellow all to himself and he would reside at the ‘Spring Palace’ if he traced 5 Yellow in the East, the ‘Autumn Palace’ if 5 Yellow in the West. Much in directionology would come down to, what was perhaps presented to be in anyone’s favor, was much more likely to come to benefit the emperor, so we’d find Oriental metaphysics saturated with that. I only go by Luoshu, as it will give you the story unbiased, clear-cut and ‘as is’. Luoshu has never failed me once.

In minding directionology, therefore, we’d first let go of any predestined (in)auspiciousness.

Any Star at all can be brought to surface either its face, Star 5 Yellow not excluded as it may bring either war or treaty. Star 5 can amass terror, it can amass human kind’s greatest feat just the same.

Then, back to directionology, meanwhile Stars just taken for what they are and taking annual Star 5 as our example as it resides in the Southwest for 2010:

- I found that the mere destination of Southwest is of less importance than at one point our travels being actually headed into Southwest. Imagine a plane to crash. The plane may either or not be destined into annual 5 Yellow as it appears in the Southwest. In fact, the plane could be having North as its end destination, however, in order to take off, it made its ascend straight into 5 Yellow, then it might crash. Or, a car altogether destined West, but at one time it collides into a tree, i.e. once the alignment of a specific highway – and for that part of the journey – took it Southwest.
- Thereby, the other thing to note is, to have an event (good or bad), it is the Star that matters, the direction a ‘player’, but at the same time not all in all needed in order to still manifest the event. So that, yes, you’d see the missing person be traced by examining Luoshu direction, but the person might just as well be traced in another direction. Star of person becoming primary, direction still important to note, but otherwise indicatory, something to that effect.
- Back to ‘car collides into a tree’ and if we then agree Star 3 is tree, Star 6 is vehicle by this context. More importantly than destination or even actual direction seems to be, we’d locate the combo 3-6 either in the central Luoshu Palace or anywhere in Luoshu. In other words, to have the clean Star or Star configuration appear by Luoshu is around what we would need in order to see the event manifest. If then we’d review the event, there may or there may just not be any further indication for direction.

But sure, we’d be minding wherever Star 5 Yellow appears, be that for a year, month or day, be that in a specific Luoshu Palace or into opposite direction of such Palace. It is the most powerful Star. It can bring magnificent things, but the fact of the matter is, what will make it to headline news would be likely its detriment, so we’d scan our media for that.

As for a train collision such as in Buizingen – and as for any event, mostly by hindsight – we can from a certain point onward let go of directionology and examine the entire Star configuration as it appears by Luoshu, each Star on its own account, so that, if taking daily Star for the event as 8 Earth, that would be two Stars 3 for train in the Li Palace (to me, Star 3 is train), to meet monthly Star 6 for collision, a heads on crash. If thus stripped from either direction or timing, if you will, Luoshu becomes like a novel, including plot, progression and eventual outcome, details to the event mostly readily there, for example, to see what had caused for the accident.

A similar train collision had occurred in Belgium in March 2001, also 8 Earth year:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9crot_rail_crash

The event involving Nodar Kumaritashvili (3.5.3), besides utterly horrific, would be at this point shady and only inviting divinatory speculation, because too involved. We don’t know if 9 Ki or Four Pillars of Destiny – or at all either one – would reveal the event, as also it can be just the luge track, the own worries he had voiced to his father about what he thought was a hazardous luge course three days before the accident, as also we would need examine the situation at the locale.

This was a bit long, thanks for asking and for stopping by Danny.

Good piece.
Do you also look at favorable and unfavorable directions?
#5 star is in the Southwest, so now considered an inauspicious direction.
I just see news of 2 trains colliding in Belgium, with reportedly some 20 dead. It happened in Buizingen , which is just outside Brussels to the Southwest.
(according to my own day start formula it is #8 day today, so a daily #5 is possibly in the SW as well)

I am also thinking of the Vancouver winter olympics, which started out with a deadly tragedy. Vancouver is in the Soutwest corner of Canada.
Not only problems at the start (and some failure in the opening ceremony), but they also seem to be the only Northern country with an exceptionally mild winter, so not enough snow right now when they need it for their event.
