Applying Auspicious Symbology
To Stimulate Your Eight Mansions

Negating The Evil Stars

Wo Hai: Mishaps

Wo Hai in the Eight Mansions system is regarded as the evil star that brings about mischance and afflictions. Wo Hai hinders smooth sailing of life's endeavors and cause minor obstacles for the individual.

Wo Hai can give headaches and stress to the individual if unduly activated. To suppress this evil star, Feng Shui Masters would advise you to place your storage room or washrooms in this sector of the house. Unfortunately, this is not always easy to achieve.

Thus there are some simple Feng Shui symbology that can be recommended to help sap the forces of this star.

• Tai-Chi Sword
  Due to the fact that Wo Hai is associated with the Lu Chuan Star, it is of the element of Earth. The Tai-Chi Sword not only symbolize balance, but it is made of metal. Thus, it weakens the Earth based Wo Hai star bringing equilibrium to the sector.

• Chinese Coin Sword
  The Coin Sword is believed to have strong protective energies and able to ward off evil spirits. In oriental countries, the Coin Sword, usually made of 108 pieces of Chinese gold coins, (72 Heaven 36 Earth Theory) is hung facing the window or main door.
  
  It is believed that the Coin Sword dispels evil influences and negates bad chi from coming in through the window or main door.
  
  In strict Feng Shui principles, the Coin Sword exerts a strong Metal Chi influence (according to the Five Element Theory), thus can weaken the Earth Chi based Wo Hai star.

• Kuan Yin Plaque
  The Kuan Yin plaque not only depicts the image of the Goddess of Mercy, which is already the ultimate symbol of compassion and love, it is also made of brass (metal element).
  
  Combined with the sutras that are inscribed on the plaque, the Metal Chi of the Kuan Yin plaque is more than suitable to neutralize the evil influence of the Wo Hai star.

• Kuan Yin Bells
  The Kuan Yin bells give a blissful and joyful jingle. It is believed that each jingle  exerts a sutra line that is inscribed on the Bell portraying the great Goddess of Mercy.
  
  The Metallic Chi exerted from the bells is excellent in pacifying the Wo Hai star.
