In the last decade, many people actually spent a lot of money and time going for Feng Shui courses. Then they start moving from schools to schools just like shopping for cloths. Yet few had consistent results while some gave up. The more seriously hurt ones labelled feng shui as “fake”.
If you read again above statement, this person is not alone. Thus many schools who do not have a lineage will encounter this similar doubt. Thus through their own understanding from the books they buy and trying to match back the reality of the property as to why it is doing good or bad. This reconciliation process has it’s natural flaws because we are dealing with a subject on metaphysics or destiny.
Thus they will think, why this mall has a 5 Yellow Door and yet it does so well? In order to satisfy themselves, they will reason it that probably only businesses or malls can use 5 Yellow! A more creative “master” will reason further that 5 Yellow is the “Emperor” and only “Emperor” can live in a mall sized property where money making is the primary concern!. Or 5 Yellow is only usable in hospitals or clinics so that more people will get sick and hence enhance the business of the hospital or clinic.
Many people have this type of confusion, why is it so? To answer this, we have to go back to Fundamentals…
5 Yellow is a bad star or malicious energy and the only time it can be good is when it is in Time or Timely. In Chinese it is called De Ling or “receive the command/order”. Just like the Minister receiving the mandate from the Prime minister.
