The Most Important Key to Success

Posted on July 24, 2011 by Derelle Ball

Perception is such a funny thing. Two people can experience the same input on their 5 senses and yet come up with totally different conclusions – it all depends on their perception and the underlying subconscious beliefs that drive them.

For example, there is a famous story about 2 brothers who grew up in the same household with a drunken and abusive father. After becoming adults and leaving home, one brother became an abusive drunk and the other brother became a successful business manager who refused to touch a drop of alcohol. When both brothers were questioned as to why they felt they ended up where they did, they both replied “it was their only choice”.

I bring this up in relation to a discussion I had the other day with a friend who moved into his newly renovated home in NSW around a year ago. The renovation was extensive enough to shift the building permanently into the current Period of 8, and this gave him a water star 8 qi at the facing where his main entry and a beautiful external water feature are located.

He started the conversation by stating his finances have gone terribly since he renovated and moved into the house. I did not do the feng shui for his home, however I am familiar with its layout and fei xing/flying star chart and surrounding landform. I was surprised to hear his statement and this lead to a discussion of the underlying character of the 8 Zuo Fo qi.

Yes the water star 8 connects with the ruling energy during the Period of 8 (ie up until 3 Feb 2024), and deemed fortunate if you are able to harness its energy. The character of the 8 Zuo Fo is kind of like the mythical Pi Yao. It likes to gradually accumulate. Legend states the Pi Yao has no anus, so everything it eats is accumulated in its belly!

The character of the 8 qi connects with assets, knowledge, wealth, property, resources, a steady plodding pace, altruism and accumulation. It does not like to be rushed.

My friend had set up his business from home and had expected to continue at his regular creative, frenetic and highly energetic pace, however it appears the 8 qi has had a slow but steady influence on his finances, although not in regard to where he expected it.

His home based business floundered since moving back into his renovated home, however upon digging deeper, it emerged that since moving there his investments in property had significantly increased, along with the rental income he earns from investments made in residential and commercial properties. He hadn’t really taken into consideration sources of income other than his home based business when he made his initial statement. Upon reflection, he realised the gentle plodding and accumulative influence of the water star 8 had indeed been very good to his bank balance via his substantially increased assets, investments and accumulated rental income.

I then dug a bit deeper still and looked at his 4 Pillars chart – especially the month branch, which gives an indication on how strong an individual’s capacity can be to begin and run their own business and whether or not their current luck pillar supports this, or if they should perhaps be open to seeking alternative ways in which to produce income.

In my friend’s case, there had been certain times in his life cycle where he was able to make good money via running his own business, however he had entered a new 10 year luck cycle when he moved into his renovated home, and the energy had changed, and his money making capacity was better supported via property investment and/or the accumulation of material resources, as well as capitalising on his inherent talents connected with the recognition of patterns and trends in the market. He can still make money managing a business, however it will likely be easier to do so if he invests his money, time and/or skill in someone else’s business as part of the process.

So now he feels happy with the effect the water star 8 energy has had on his renovated home and capacity to accumulate wealth. Its subtle influence connected with accumulated assets and increased capital gain and rental income and he is now keen to get further educated on utilising his talent for tapping into market trends and patterns in order to continue generating income.

And here is the most important part of this conversation. You see it’s not enough to simply be aware of your feng shui or astrology. These are tools which give you choices. It’s still up to you do something and take the correct action in order to make the most of what is on offer. As Tony Robbins famously states: “Action is the most important key to any success.”
