What
can help us to comprehend disaster and loss of such magnitude?
We can try to put it in terms of astrology, currently circulating.
Numerology
on the World Trade Center:
The
date of the attack: 9/11=9=1+1=11 September 11 is the 254th day of the
year=2+5+4=11
After
September 11 there are 111 days left to the end of the year
119
is the area code to Iraq/Iran= 1+1+9=11
Twin
Towers standing side by side resemble the number 11
The
first plane to hit the Towers was Flight 11
State
of New York-the 11th state to join the Union New York City=11 letters
Afghanistan=11
letters
The
Pentagon=11 letters
Ramzi
Yousef=11 letters (convicted of orchestrating the 1993 attack on the WTC)
Flight 11=92 on board (9+2=11) Flight 77=65 on board (6+5=11)
Emergency
number=911 (9+1+1=11)
Coincidentally,
September 11 is the date in 1814 that the British attacked Ft. McHenry
and a young Georgetown attorney named Francis Scott Key composed his poem
which later became the lyrics to our national anthem, "The Star-Spangled
Banner," ending with the moving words, "land of the free and home of the
brave."
From
a feng shui numerology standpoint, the pervasive number 11 is one of the
master numbers representing a highly emotional, possibly painful year.
The
number 9 magnifies the 11. If there is a silver lining in the monstrous
cloud, 2 (1+1) symbolizes connectedness, togetherness, and dynamic attraction,
and an opportunity for us to become closer to those in our lives.
Four
Pillars Feng Shui reveals a tremendous imbalance of the fire and metal
elements on that very yin (dark) day.
September
11, 2001 was a day of yin earth, yin metal, during the most yin (metal)
animal year of the Chinese zodiac (Snake) which is ruled by yin metal
and yin fire.
The
day was in the summer when the fire element dominants as well as gives
birth to the element of earth.
The
hour pillars, 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., ruled by the Dog, were those of yang earth
and yang earth while 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., ruled by the Boar, were yin earth
and yin fire.
The
first plane hit at a time during the hour of the Dog, which clashes with
the Ram and Ox, the ruling animals already in conflict that day.
Notice
the convergence and dominance of yin energy at that year, month, day and
hours, with precious little yang energy to maintain balance. In the generative
relationship of the elements, fire generates earth during those hours,
days and season, with nothing to balance or offset them.
There
was no wood present that day to destroy earth and nor was there any water
to put out the fire.
Moreover,
there was a triple clash of the zodiac animals: Dog, Ram and Ox, all earth
elements, during the hour of the dragon, which accentuates whatever is
happening during that time.
On
that day on the Chinese almanac, the hours of 7 a.m.-9 a.m. are marked
as "killing," or "unlucky." While some of the victims were killed by fire,
the majority of them were destroyed by earth-the pancaking of the multi-storied
earth-material building collapsing and crushing them to death.
The
abundance of the fire element resulted in the tons of buildings, ash and
dust. How can feng shui help you during such traumatic times such as these?
