The Secrets of Earth Magic has illuminated for me many secrets behind the inspection and reading of house designs.
Someone once asked me, "To become a high-ranking official, what kind of house should one live in?"
I answered, "One should live in houses characterized by 'three tiers of golden boughs and jade leaves, red snakes swirling around a seal, dragon buildings and phoenix pavilions, or powerful horned objects'."
"These terms are too profound and mysterious. Can you explain them in modern terms?" he asked.
Following are the explanations of these special terms:
1. Three tiers of golden boughs and jade leaves - The house lived in should be surrounded by three rows of houses-one to the right, one to the left, and one behind the home. These three tiers should display the pattern known as "golden boughs and jade leaves." (Note: "three tiers" does not refer to three-story houses.)
On hilly terrain, one must note the topography and structures to the left, right, and back of the home to see if a "cradling pattern" gives rise to the three tiers.
2. Red snakes swirling around a seal - An analogy can be drawn between the location of a "master site" in a metropolitan area and pinpointing of the center of a fingerprint. By tracing patterns of swirling earth energy, one can locate this central point, "the seal amidst a swirl of red snakes." Such a site, however, takes an expert geomancer to locate.
3. The house of Yasuhiro Nakasone, the former Japanese prime minister, fits this description of "red snakes swirling around a seal."
4. Dragon buildings and phoenix pavilions - The terms "dragon" and "phoenix" characterize outstanding and distinguished personalities. A grand home resembling a spiraling dragon or soaring phoenix fits this description. Again, only expert geomancers can detect such designs.
5. Powerful horned objects - Inside a small and shabby residence, an expert geomancer can install "powerful horn-like objects" to bring fame, success, and prestige to people living within the home. If installed properly, such objects can lead one to become a high-ranking official. Improper installation, however, can bring multiple misfortunes.
To properly conduct these readings, geomancers first must learn to classify landforms and surrounding structures according to the five elements. The following verses from The Secrets of Earth Magic present some of these relationships:
Earth's Imperial Edict has a Wooden Seal
Fire's Imperial Edict has a Metal Seal
Metal's Imperial Edict has a Wooden Seal
Water's Imperial Edict comes from the North
Wood's Imperial Edict comes from the South
Information from a site the generates a high official allows one to predict the ranking of such an official will achieve and the duration of this official's stay in power.
In general, individuals with military careers should live in pointed houses, as "sharp" designs indicate power. To the right and left of homes, there should also be the presence of "Guardians of Virtue," pointed formations providing the home with nourishing energy. A flawed, protruding shape, however, may turn a "general's home" into a home that produces pawns or powerful scroundrels.
Although the following quotes refers burial site feng-shui, it can also be applied to residential homes:
A military official emerges when "Guardians of Virtue" shine,
A "Craving Wolf" with a flat-top is matched by the "Fire Star;"
Cradled by drum and flag, facing a knife-shaped desk, One rises swiftly to seize military power.
Although burial sites thrive primarily on earth chi and residential homes on vital chi, these two forms of chi accompany one another and follow the same principles. Water flowing across land, for example, follows a course shaped by the topography of the land, and vapor above the water also moves along the same course. Both water and vapor follow the same path.
The principles concerning houses that produce high-ranking officials are highly secret, and these teachings are rarely transmitted to people. Such information is truly invaluable. Without the special knowledge of feng-shui experts, however, interpreting such sites is a difficult task.
Among my students, there is one whose son, from my observations, bears the facial signs associated with the making of a high-ranking official. I instructed this student to install a "powerful object" in his small house. His son is currently the top student in his class and, in the future, will earn a doctorate degree. Eventually, through his involvement in politics, he will rise to a top-ranking government position.
An honest official with great written talent,
A judge bearing the imperial seal,
A true scholar from dragon and phoenix abodes,
The hall of fame will sing his praises.
My knowledge and experience in residential feng-shui can create powerful transformations. Utilizing a home's vital chi, an impoverished young man shall rise and transform into a high-ranking political figure.
