Your Ming Gua Best Directions - how to calculate your Ming Gua

In Asia, most people know their Ming Gua.  You see .... your Ming Gua can help you ascertain the best direction for you to sleep to support your health and stability, favourable directions to negotiate deals and sit at your desk to promote success and prosperity, and much more.

Your Ming Gua is calculated from your birth year.  For instance, if you were born in 1971.  Add all the numbers up till they reduce to a single digit.  1+9+7+1 = 18 = 9.  If you are female add 4. 4+9 = 13 = 4.  If you are female your Ming Gua is 4.  If you are male subtract 9 from 11 = 2.  If you are male, your Ming Gua is 2.

If you are female and your Ming Gua adds up to 5 - it converts to 8.
If you are male and your Ming Gua adds up to 5 - it converts to 2.

Don't forget the Chinese New Calendar Year begins around February 4, so if you were born on say ... the 2nd of February 1971, in chinese astrology you were born in 1970, so you use 1970 to calculate your Ming Gua.

Feng shui tips to attract love and romance


According to Chinese Astrology, the year of the Rabbit 2011 is called a Peach Blossom or Romance Flower indicating romance will be the hot topic of 2011 - perfect timing for Prince William and Kate Middleton to announce their engagement and the wedding on April 29, 2011. 

If you are looking for someone special, here are some general feng shui tips to attract love and romance into your life.
  • The South West section of your home is the Relationship Sector. Ensure that there is no clutter in the south west area of your house.
  • If possible, activate the South West area by adding a beautiful healthy plant, or fresh flowers.  
  • Place a beautiful, romantic picture or print on the wall in the South West sector of your home.
  • Remove photos of family members or children from the South West area of your home and put them in the South East area of your home as this sector relates to family relationships.
  • In the South West corner of your bedroom set aside a small area to dedicate to the kind of relationship you are looking for.   Place paintings, postcards or prints that symbolise a happy relationship here.  If you are looking for someone who is affectionate, make sure the images you have chosen show a couple holding hands, or hugging each other. 
  • Create a positive and beautiful focal point by adding two crystals, or two candles around your pictures in the South West corner of your bedroom.  Every time you see this area, say a positive affirmation such as 'I have a wonderful loving relationship'.  
  • Take some time to write down the type of person you are looking for.  Be specific and don't leave anything out.  Place the profile of your perfect partner under the pictures, candles, or crystals you have placed in the South West corner.
  • Ensure furniture is paired in the bedroom.  Two matching lamps, two matching sidetables etc.
  • And of course the most important thing to do is to go out and start dating again.  Mr or Mrs Right is not going to come knocking on your door.  A little effort is required to make your dreams come true.

My Ghost Clearing Adventures



I have to say I really love conducting space clearings for people, especially when a ghost is involved! People ask me 'do you get scared?' No, because I understand ghosts or spirits are just confused earth bound spirits. I consider it a great honour to be able to help them home.

Sometimes the spirit is attached to an object, a person, or the building. I remember a lovely young mother who I shall call Vanessa. Just in the past year, she had been having terrible problems with her teenage daughter. Her daughter had publicly announced on social media sites how much she hated her. I dowsed and found out a troubled male teenage spirit had been hanging around her daughter causing trouble. After I conducted a space clearing, she had no further problems with her daughter, besides the usual teenage frustrations.

I was called to do a space clearing at Gemma's home. She expressed concern her 5 year old son would say 'I don't mean to do bad things Mummy, but the voice tells me to be bad'.

The night before I was to conduct the space clearing, I had a dream about a man welcoming me into his home for a party, and then at the end of the night he walked me to my car. In the dream, I thought I'd better go home now as I had a space clearing to do. When I entered Gemma's home the next day, I saw a photo of her husband and immediately recognised him as the man in my dream. I told Gemma about the dream, and I considered it was a very good sign to be welcomed into the home by her husband. As it turned out, it was Gemma's husband who asked her to get me in to do the space clearing, 'but don't tell anyone' he said! He was concerned about the footsteps he heard on the stairs in the middle of the night.




I found another young male spirit influencing her son, and also some negative energy attached to an old chest of drawers located in his bedroom. Gemma's son no longer talks about hearing voices, and the footsteps in the middle of the night are gone.

Laura contacted me because she was exhausted. Her two children were terrified sleeping alone in their bedrooms. Every night around 4am, they would wake her up and ask her to sleep with them. One night when her husband got a little tipsy, he admitted he was scared to be alone upstairs too.

A few days before my visit, I saw a vision of an old man, very skinny, dark hair, wearing a tartan dressing gown. I gave Laura a call and asked her if she could find out if an old man had owned the home. As soon as I mentioned my vision, she said the whole suburb had a lot of old men living alone. She felt my vision fitted the events and further investigation was not necessary.

On the day of my space clearing, Laura told me her son talked about 'the spaghetti man who would come through the walls at night'. Laura felt my description of a 'skinny old man' was spot on.

I found out the spirit was unaware he was scaring the family, and was quite happy to move on to the other side where friends and family would be waiting. To help build the children's confidence, I made protection pouches filled with sacred herbs which the children could keep beside their bed at night.

I find this work so rewarding! I feel privileged to be able to bring peace to children and parents alike, and to help spirits cross over. I must admit I often get very emotional (and a little teary) when I know the spirit has moved on to a happier place. Please note - all names have been change to protect my clients' privacy.

Ben Cousins' Astrology Story


Due to requests from my Australian blog subscribers, I would like to give a little insight into this talented and troubled young man with Chinese Astrology. For overseas subscribers, Ben Cousins was one of Australia's brightest young AFL football players. His career fell apart due to addiction to illegal substances. A controversial and revealing series was shown on Australian TV following this young man's struggle with drugs, fame and football hierachy.


When you look at Ben Cousins' chart, you can see his story reflected in his Chinese 4 Pillars chart. I will give a brief analysis of what I found using simple terminology, to give you a feel of Ben's charms and challenges. Ben was born on 30 June, 1978. Unfortunately I was not able to find his time of birth, so his chart analysis is somewhat incomplete.
  1. Hour Pillar - Yin Water/Water Pig
  2. Month Pillar - Yang Earth/Fire Horse
  3. Year Pillar - Yang Earth/Fire Horse
Ben is Yin Water, which means he can seem quite gentle on the outside, but underneath he can be determined and tenacious achieving his goals. Water people are generally quite restrained and secretive. Water people are not the likely to cry on people's shoulder, or show their real emotions to anyone and everyone, which was quite evident in 'Such is Life'.

Ben has no expression element (wood). Without it, his chart is like a pressure cooker with no outlet valve, the substance abuse became his way to 'let off steam'. Expression element allows us to say how we feel, share our hopes and dreams, and create ..... this element is missing in Ben's chart, so again we see it is not easy for him to reveal all.

Power element is very strong in his chart. Power element drives us, but excessive power can make Ben feel stressed and under pressure. Untill I have his time of birth, it would appear he no foundation element (metal) which is important because it relates to our foundations and our ability to stay grounded and steady during difficult times.

As you can see above, Ben has two Fire Horses in his chart. Imagine a young racehorse at the peak of its physical condition. They are a perfect example of speed and strength, and yet they become so highly strung, the slightest thing can set them off. Horses, will often injure themselves trying to get out of the stable, or kill themselves trying to get over a fence if something spooks them. Symbolically, I see Ben Cousins as that young racehorse, the young stallion strutting round the field, ready to jump the fence at any moment and run wild.

Strong Fire in his chart gives Ben charisma and passion, but when unbalanced can lead to depression, anxiety, insomnia .. a disturbed person. When you light a fire it will consume everything in its path if given enough space and fuel, which is what happened on Ben's week long benders. His chart suggests Ben has hyperactive tendencies, so I feel his addiction to drugs was initially fueled by his need to relax and switch off. He sits on a Travel Star, which is another indicator he would always be restless, needing movement, travel and variety.

Ben sits on a Heaven Star of Virtue which gives him more charisma, success and leadership qualities. Perhaps he could use his leadership qualities to coach kids on drug avoidance. Ben has two Romance Flowers making him attractive to the opposite sex. His chart shows power and fame comes to him without effort, so he would be quite surprised by all the fuss, hype, and media attention he receives.

This year Ben has a harmony combination with the Tiger year and this combination creates more fire. In Ben's chart, fire relates to money, so he will no doubt get good financial return from his TV series. His strong fire and Heaven Star of Virtue all give him the charisma and charm to continue to do well in the public eye such as television, film etc.

Next year, the year of the Rabbit (from Feb 4), will be a good year for Ben. His Romance Flower appears, so he may meet a special lady in December this year, or early next year. The year of the Rabbit also brings his Nobleman, someone who will help him. That person may help him in his new career, or help him find a new direction, or perhaps the new girlfriend will help him in some way. His Academic Star appears also, which will spur him on to study, learn something new, or seek greater understanding of himself.

I wish Ben Cousins well on his life journey. He does not have an easy chart! It will take time and greater understanding of his strengths and weaknesses to balance his life and tap into his true power. I see his early forties will be a time of greater harmony. There are signs he may even move overseas, or away from from his family (interstate) permanently around that time too.

Warm wishes, Carol G Partridge of Sacred Feng Shui Design
