Detailed explanation of the correct way to use the compass!
Introduction: As an essential tool for Feng Shui measurement, the compass is considered a symbol of Feng Shui masters. I believe everyone has come into contact with it to some extent. So how is the compass used and operated? Now, follow the editor to learn how to use the compass correctly! Want to know more articles and content related to the compass? Welcome to the compass special topic that Mr. Shui Mo has carefully prepared for you to learn more knowledge. Come and have a look!TianchiAnyone who has seen a compass knows that there is a place where the compass is installed. This position is located in the center of the entire compass and is called Tianchi. There is a magnet inside Tianchi. When positioning the magnet, its head must be facing due south (noon), and its tail must be pointing due north (zi). This is called a compass. There is a red straight line under the compass. The shape of the straight line is similar to that of a compass, but this straight line is always fixed, with one end pointing to the exact position of the character "Zi" on the compass, and the other end pointing to the exact center of the character "Wu" on the compass.When we usually do Feng Shui for others: the first step is to put the compass flat, so that the pointer in the Tianchi and the straight line in the Tianchi overlap to form a straight line. In other words, the compass completely covers the red straight line in Tianchi. When we look at the compass in Tianchi, we see that the magnetic needle and the straight line under the needle form a line. Only in this way can we be sure that the compass has been balanced and then determine the orientation of the house. A beginner in Feng Shui may not know where to start when seeing a compass. The compass is obviously complicated. A Yang house only uses the contents of five layers of the compass. Below, the author discusses the contents of each layer and the methods of using it in a Yang house one by one as follows: (1) Site orientationCompass: has three plates and three needles. That is, the main needle of the ground plate, the middle needle of the human plate, and the sewing needle of the sky plate. The three plates are divided into twenty-four grids, called "Twenty-four Mountains". Each mountain occupies 15 degrees, and the 24 directions are based on the twelve zodiac signs (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai). Eight Heavenly Stems (Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, etc.). It is composed of the names of the four dimensions (Qian, Gen, Xun, and Kun).The compass's main needle is the correct position of the twenty-four mountains. That is to say, when we do Feng Shui for people, the first step is to use the compass's main needle to determine the direction of the house. (Zhengzhen is a nickname for the twenty-four mountains on the ground) There is another point that must be noted. Usually, the 24 mountain characters on the ground of some compasses have two colors, one of which is red. The red words and the colorless words have two different meanings. There are twelve red directions on the site, which represents Qi Yang. There are twelve directions whose characters are not in red, which indicates occasional Yin. Qi Yang: Ren, Yin, Wu, Xu, Gui, Shen, Yi, Chen, Jia, Kun, Gan. Even Yin: Geng, Hai, Mao, Ding, Yi, You, Chou, Gen, Bing, Xun, and Xin. Especially for the Feng Shui of tombs, yin and yang cannot be mixed, and yin and yang cannot coexist. When facing the Yang direction, you cannot collect Yin water, and when facing the Yin direction, you cannot collect Yang water, otherwise it will become a mixture of Yin and Yang, which will lead to unfavorable things. (2) Needle in the human plateThe needle in the human plate actually has little effect on judging the feng shui of a house, but for some rural houses, the needle in the human plate can play the role of moving sand.The center needle of the human plate: The center needle refers to the collective term for the twenty-four directions of the human plate. The needle in the human plate: is only used to judge whether the house has multiple directions and what specific direction it has. For example: if the mountain is Wu and the direction is Zi, the right side will include Ding and Gui. Another example is if the mountain is Xun and the direction is Gan, the right side will include Si and Hai. (3) Tianpan suture needleSewing Needle is the abbreviation of the twenty-four mountain directions of the large plate.The main function of the seam on the sky plate for a cemetery is to collect water. Due to Xuan Kong Feng Shui, the water collection of a yang house is determined by the combination of Yuan Yun and the flying stars and directions on the flying star plate, so the seam on the plate is not the main function. In this way, the function of the sky plate for the yang house is the same as that of the needle in the plate, which is to determine the specific direction of the house. If the orientation is biased to the right, the hexagram mountain in the human plate is used to judge the orientation of the house. If the orientation is biased to the left, the hexagram mountain in the big plate is used to judge the orientation of the house. The relationship between the ground plate, the human plate and the sky plate is that the two differ by 7.5 degrees. That is, the dividing line between the characters in the ground plate is aligned with the center of the human plate and the sky plate. The dividing line between each mountain in the ground plate is aligned with the center of the human plate and the sky plate. Similarly, the dividing line between each character on the human plate is also aligned with the center of each character on the ground plate. That is to say, the difference between the characters on the ground plate, the human plate and the sky plate is 7.5. Therefore, when the house faces left or right, it will inevitably be compatible with the characters on the human plate and the land plate. However, in the Xuan Kong School, the lower hexagram is still used when launching the star chart if the star is within 4 degrees to the left or right of the center of the twenty-four mountains on the ground. If the star is outside 4 degrees to the left or right and within 6 degrees, a substitute hexagram is used when launching the star chart. (4) 120 gold points for the regular needleThe compass needle is 120 points of gold and has only a side effect in determining the orientation of a house and has no other special significance. Whenever the angle of the outermost circle in the compass is not very clear, or there is no such content engraved on the compass. Those who are new to Feng Shui can determine the difference between the main direction and the combined direction of a house based on the content of the 120 points of gold of the main needle. At the same time, it was determined that when arranging the Flying Star Plate for a yang house, the rules of using the substitute hexagram and the lower hexagram should be used. Therefore, beginners of Yangzhai Feng Shui must understand the connotation of one hundred and twenty points of gold and how to use it in Yangzhai.One hundred and twenty points of gold on the positive needle is a number that is evenly divided into sixty Jiazi times, and is engraved under the twenty-four mountains on the needle of the human plate. The Jiazi starts from the plate and ends between the Ren and Zi. Each branch is divided into ten positions, Jia, Yi, Ren, and Gui are lonely and weak, Bing, Ding, Geng, and Xin are prosperous, and Wu and Si are empty and dead. Therefore, among the one hundred and twenty points of gold, all the stems and branches of Jia, Yi, Ren, Gui, Wu and Ji are left blank and are not written. The only stems and branches written are Bing, Ding, Geng and Xin, the four prosperous stems and branches. Now we use a picture to illustrate the relationship between the ground needle and the one hundred and twenty points of gold, because the graphics are difficult to produce. We specifically use the relationship between the three mountains of Ren, Zi and Gui and one hundred and twenty points of gold to illustrate. The three mountains of Ren, Zi and Gui, the third layer is 60 points of gold, and the fourth layer is 110 points of gold. Each mountain has five small grids, and the space distance of each small grid is 3 degrees. The five small grids have a total of 15 degrees, which corresponds to the degree of space of each mountain. Only two of the five small grids have stems and branches engraved in them, and the others are blank spaces. There is a blank space in the middle of the small grids with stems and branches on the left and right sides, and this blank space represents the center position of a mountain. If the hanging line in the compass exceeds the middle space, the demon in this room actually has multiple directions. However, the small grid based on Xuan Kong Shui Xue should not be considered as a comprehensive theory. When taking off the horoscope, the lower hexagram method is still used. In other words, the distance between small grids cannot be inferred from the perspective of the whole grid. Any lines that extend beyond the small squares with text on the left and right sides and the compass line and fall into the two spaces next to each mountain shall be inferred based on the combined direction. Whenever determining the take-off star chart for a house with multiple directions, the substitute hexagram take-off star chart is used. (5) 360 degrees of the circumferenceThe outermost layer of the compass is engraved with 360 degrees of the celestial sphere. Any compass with 360 degrees of the celestial sphere engraved on it is very convenient for people who are studying feng shui for residential houses. Feng shui for residential houses pays great attention to the angle of the orientation. The relationship between the twenty-four mountains on the compass and the 360 degrees of the celestial sphere is that generally each mountain governs 15 degrees, and the twenty-four mountains total 360 degrees.In addition to the 360 degrees of the celestial sphere engraved on the outermost layer of the compass, there are also some small symbols representing millimeters, similar to those on a ruler. In fact, each small symbol represents one degree of the celestial sphere, and there are five symbols on the compass to engrave one degree of the celestial sphere. The author explains the 360 degrees of the compass in such detail mainly to help beginners of Feng Shui judge the difference between the lower hexagram and the substitute hexagram when setting up the Flying Star Plate for a house. As mentioned in the previous section, each mountain has a total of 15 degrees. If the house is located within nine degrees from the center of a mountain, the following hexagram is used to determine the flying star. If it is beyond the nine degrees from the center, the alternative hexagram is used to determine the flying star. There is a big difference between the lower hexagram and the substitute hexagram. Therefore, when we judge the Feng Shui of a house, we must determine the orientation of the house and the exact degree of the celestial sphere. Only in this way can we arrange the flying star plate of the house. Then, based on the meaning of each flying star combination in the flying star plate and the generation, restraint and control of the five elements of each flying star, we can judge the good or bad Feng Shui of the house.
