The Annual Afflictions in 2015

The Dragon is here to Save You from the Annual Afflictions in 2015

People usually set priorities on attaining health, wealth, career etc. This will be of little use if there are annual destructive energies in one’s home and workplace. Therefore, the first and foremost approach must be a defensive act. Each year, certain directions are considered particularly inauspicious and because they exert evil influences that are generally referred to as Sha Qi. Though we are now in March, it still is not too late to take action to protect oneself from these annual afflictions.

Succinctly, the three major yearly afflictions are: The 3 Killings (San Sha/Sarm Saat) ,Tai Sui (The Grand Duke of Jupiter), The Sui Po (referred to as Broken Soldier). 

The Three Killings 

The Three Killings in 2015 is located in the West (232.5 - 307.5)

The Three Killings refer to three Violent Robbers- the combination of Age Killing (Sui Sha), Plundering Killing (Jie Sha) and Calamity Killing (Zai Sha). When Three Killing are wrongly activated or disturbed it can bring about three types of misfortunes:

1- Financial loss/lawsuits, loss of wealth, robbery and theft.

2- Illnesses, blood related injuries

3- Accidents/arguments, calamities, destitution and fatalities.

An encounter with the inauspicious Three Killings calls for extreme caution. Any activity in the West part of your house or office in 2015 must be strictly avoided and any form of noisy renovations such as banging and nailing, re-decorating, disturbing the earth, digging holes or foundations, or any maintenance work with noisy equipment inside or outside will be detrimental to your home and health. If you have to carry out work or emergency repairs in the West during the year of the Sheep/Goat, you can place a six hollow metal rod wind chime between your buildings and the location where the work is being carried out so as to minimize the harm of the Three Killings. 

Aside from not disturbing the ground, there is another important rule of thumb to follow regarding the Three Killings in 2015. If you are moving your desk this year never sit with your back to the West, it is better to be seated facing the West. Also, do not sit with your back facing the 3 Killings either at work or at the dinner table; it is best to confront them directly. Remember, avoid sitting with your back to the west in 2015 or you may find unscrupulous people working against you or you may encounter undue gossip and back stabbing during the year.

If your front door faces the West in 2015 you should place a pair of Fu Dogs just inside the house looking outwards as protective guardians for the year. 

A Ba Gua mirror should also be placed outside if your door is facing west.

For those of you who have bedrooms, a main door or window either in the West or facing the West: you will be afflicted with the Three Killings energy and therefore be more susceptible to legal problems and accidents. 

Three Chi Lin can be used to effectively protect one against the Three Killings:

We previously did a post telling you about the Chi Lin (Qilin). A mythical animal related to Dragon. The Chi Lin- also known as Dragon Horse, is the Chinese Unicorn, a legendary creature with head of a dragon, scales of carp upon the body of a horse, and a tail consisting of little curls.

The Chi Lin's presence is said to attract the powerful cosmic breath of the dragon, which promises good omens, prosperity, success, longevity, wisdom, compassion and illustrious offspring. In Feng Shui the Chi Lin has a very important role as a protector of your home or office. It is also used to counteract the destructive energy of the Three Killings. Placing 3 Chi Lin facing the direction of the Three Killings will restrain and prevent the killing Chi from harming you. 

Tai Sui (Grand Duke of Jupiter) 

Tai Sui resides in 2015 Southwest between 202.5º - 217.5º degrees 

southwest in 2015.

Tai Sui, also known, as Grand Duke Jupiter or Grand Commander of the Year (or the Year God). He is one of the most highly respected and feared deity in the Chinese beliefs.

Great General Yang Xian is the Tai Sui (or Grand Duke) and year god for the yin, wood, earth Sheep/Goat year. He’s also the one who gives trials to the afflicted Zodiac signs. In 2015, people that are Goat/Sheep, Ox/Cow, Rat and Dog animal signs are in conflict with the Tai-Sui. Some may not understand the implications that are entailed when a zodiac sign is deemed to be in conflict with Tai Sui, resulting in fear and confusion. Unlike conventional thinking however, conflicting with the Annual Year Tai Sui may not be all ominous. Depending on the interpretation, it could foretell “CHANGES” or “MOTIONS” in your life.

Regardless, if you would like to ensure that the year is a smooth and rewarding one, remedial steps can be taken to appease Tai Sui and prevent offense to him.

Tai Sui is particularly sensitive about direct confrontation. Try not to sit facing, or sleep with your head pointing to the direction of Grand Duke Jupiter.

As it is with the Three Killings, Tai Sui also dislikes noise and commotion and being disturbed. Best avoid any construction work and home repairs in the Southwest during 2015.

The traditional Chinese method to appease Tai Sui is to place a Pi Yao or dragon headed tortoise in the northeast sector of the home or office facing the 15º southwest radius where Tai Sui sits.

This is so important this year. Remember also, Tai Sui is very fond of his pet, the Pi Yao. Appease him by placing the Pi Yao in the affected sector or just wear the Pi Yao as an amulet.

You never know when and where you have offended Tai Sui. To play safe, you may carry on you a protective amulet or a sacred talisman from temples, Pi Yao, Tai Sui Image or Tai Sui Mantra.

Sui Po 

Sui Po is located in the Northeast in 2015 (The year breaker)

Sui Po year breaker occupies the division directly opposite Tai Sui Grand Duke, which for 2015 is the northeast. You should treat this area the same as the other annual afflictions with no ground-breaking work, renovations or any noisy activities. If disturbed this area can, and normally will, cause immediate health problems especially for the elderly. If you have to carry out unavoidable work or do emergency repairs in the north place a six hollow metal rod wind chime between the buildings and where the work will be carried out.

To disperse the negative effects in 2015, you should also hang a set of six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon. Place a salt water cure in the west and southeast of your home or office this year to control the #5 and #2 stars. This is very important in 2015 especially if you have a main door, bedroom, office, lounge or other important room in the southeast, west, and south.

Pixiu or Pi Yao

Pixiu or Pi Yao

Pi Yao (PIxiu) is a Chinese mythical hybrid creature considered to be a very powerful protector by Feng Shui practitioners. It resembles a winged lion. Pixiu is an earth and sea variation, a particularly influential and auspicious creature for wealth. Fierce looking and covered with whitish-grey fur, Pixiu has the head of a Chinese dragon. Ancient Chinese depictions of Pixiu showed two different types of Pixiu. The difference is with their horns; the male has the single antler, and the female two. The the male with one horn is called Tian Lu (Pi Chen) and female with two horns is known as Pi Ya . Tian Lu is in charge of wealth and displaying Tian Lu at home or in the office is said to prevent wealth from flowing away. Another interesting note is the belief that common wingless Pixiu assists in seeking wealth while a winged Pixiu assists students in furthering their studies. 

As with the Chinese Phoenix, the common image of Pi Yao (Pixiu) has undergone change and today it is represented as a single sex. Pixiu has protruding eyes and sharp teeth. Its body resembles a Chinese lion and the legs of Pixiu are those of a Qilin. Looking at the posture of the Pixiu, the creature seems to project a sense of strength, elegance and mobility. Pixiu’s obvious characteristic is its fat body which indicates a full stomach loaded with unlimited amounts of good fortune. It has a single horn on its head and a pair of wings. Likewise it has a big open mouth ready to gobble up fortune. Because of this a Pixiu statue is often employed in the home as a way of receiving and keeping fortune. 

The Pixiu is ranked 5th in the order of mythical beings, behind the dragon, phoenix, winged horse and sea horse. Ancient architecture often displayed Pixiu to ward off Yin Qi (bad fortune). The statues of a Pixiu are typically seen on the four corners of the roofs of houses, particularly those of influential people such as the emperor. In ancient China, statues of Pixiu were also used as tomb guardians. 

Jade Emperor and Heavenly Court

The myth behind the Pi Yao (Pixiu) is that the creature at one time had violated the law of Heaven, and so the Jade Emperor had punished Pixiu by restricting its diet to gold. Thus Pixiu can only absorb gold, but cannot expel it. This is the origin of Pixiu’s status as a symbol of the acquisition and preservation of wealth. It is said to have a voracious appetite for only gold and silver. Therefore traditionally to the Chinese, Pixiu has always been regarded as an auspicious creature that possessed mystical power capable of drawing Cai Qi (good fortune) from all directions.

Displaying a Pi Ya at the affected area of the house or office can avoid misfortune and disasters. The Pi Ya must be placed facing away from the house. For displaying at openings or entrances a pair of Pi Ya is needed.

The Tian Lu is used for attracting wealth. One places it in the designated wealth area to attract wealth or accumulate wealth. Do not place Tian Lu facing any person directly on in a confrontational position. Ideally Tien Lu should not be place on the floor but it definitely should never be place above eye level.

One cannot touch the face and head of the "Pixiu," because the touch from an ordinary person would ruin their wealth. 

Pixiu (Pi Yao), a fierce creature has large fangs, visible in the creature’s mouth, with which it attacks demons and evil spirits, draining their essence and converting it to wealth. Pi Ya is useful therefore in warding off evil. Pixiu is also believed to guard against disease caused by evil spirits. Furthermore, Pi Ya has the ability of assisting anyone who is suffering from bad Feng Shui due to having offended the Grand Duke Jupiter (Tai Sui). 

Tai Sui is very fond of his pet, the Pi Yao. You may appease Tai Sui therefore, by placing a Pi Yao or Dragon-headed Tortoise in the north sector of the home or office facing the 15º south radius where Tai Sui sits. For this cure, the placement of the Pi Yao should be obvious and not hidden from view, and there must be a metal element involved. Metal here refers to real gold and strong metal. The secret behind this cure is that the "Tai Sui mantra" must accompany the Pi Yao for maximum effectiveness. It actually refers to a set of Chinese incantation of the Tai Sui. This mantra had been used for centuries to help one overcome the wrath of Tai Sui.

Tai Sui appeasing mantra

(The "Long Pi" pictured on either side of the Duke is a traditional cure used by old time masters to resolve shar from the Tai Sui. The big wings signify its ability to fly high and reach greater heights/goals. Inviting them to your space will ease your efforts in diminishing obstructions. You will then gain a full grip and better control over your fortune and luck. It has the ability to transform negative chi into positive, overcome obstacles, prevent annual dangers caused to zodiacs, subdue bad luck, combat bodily harm and terminate stress.)

Good Luck.
