The nine systems
A modern mechanics of type, strategy, and authority — built from I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah, and the chakra system. Answers the question: how do you make clean decisions?
The tropical zodiac, as it developed through Ptolemy, Bonatti, Lilly, and the 20th-century psychological revival. Maps identity through planets, signs, houses, and aspects.
"Eight characters" — four pillars (year, month, day, hour) expressed through ten stems and twelve branches. The most structural of the Chinese fate systems.
A decimal alphabet. Reduces name and birth date to archetypal digits and master numbers, mapping life path, expression, and personal year cycles.
The study of qi through space. Flying Stars, Eight Mansions, and form schools — computing how a birth date, a compass, and a room plan interact.
The "Strange Gate Hiding" — a time-and-space grid once used by generals to pick winning hours. Best-in-class for when and which direction to act.
Reads the building, not the person — its axis as a hexagram paired with its exact inverse, judged on the element relationship between them.
A specialized external-water application of the San He school — tuning the flow and exit of water relative to the property sitting. The classical Chinese "wealth map."
The "Purple Star" astrology. Places dozens of stars across twelve palaces representing life domains. Where Ba Zi maps structure, Zi Wei maps narrative.

Ba Zhai, the Eight Mansions — Every Kua, Every Direction, and the Rule Behind the Table
Ba Zhai — the Eight Mansions school — is the part of classical Feng Shui that is about the person rather than the building. It gives everyone one of eight trigrams through the Kua number, and from that trigram it rates all eight compass directions: four that support you and four that work against you, each with a name, a rank and a job. This piece prints the whole system in one place — the Kua-to-trigram table, the eight energies, the complete direction table for every Kua and its reverse lookup — and then shows the one thing almost no English source explains: the line rule that generates every row of that table from the trigram itself, and why it splits the world into an East group and a West group.
