Basic Theories

Qi (Ch'i)

Qi literally means steam over uncooked rice. In Feng Shui, but it also means "flow of energy". Max Knoll suggested in 1951 that Qi is a form of solar radiation.

To determine the Qi of an area, Feng Shui masters use a Luopan. Compasses reflect local geomagnetism which includes geomagnetically induced currents caused by space weather. It could be said that Feng Shui assesses the quality of the local environment and the effects of space weather. We could say that Feng Shui is Qi divination.

Beliefs from the Axial Age, Feng Shui among them, hold that the heavens influence life on Earth. This seems preposterous to many people, yet space weather exists and can have profound effects on technology (GPS, power grids, pipelines, communication and navigation systems, surveys), and the internal orienting faculties of birds and other creatures. Atmospheric scientists have suggested that space weather creates fluctuations in market prices.

Polarity

                    

 

Polarity is expressed in feng shui as Yin and Yang. The polarity within Feng Shui is buildings of the living (Yang) and buildings of the dead (Yin).

Yin (black) and Yang (white) are the harmonizing factors of the universe: opposing energies like day and night. Yin and Yang are totally dependent upon one another and one does not exist without the other. In Feng Shui, the goal is to achieve a balance of yin and yang. Some Yin qualities include valleys, rivers and streams; Yang qualities include hills and mountains.

Ba-Gua (Eight Symbols)

 
Two diagrams known as bagua (or pa kua) loom large in feng shui, and both predate their mentions in the Yijing or I Ching. The Lo (River) Chart (Luoshu, or Later Heaven Sequence) and the River Chart (Hetu, or Early Heaven Sequence) are linked to astronomical events of the sixth millennium BCE, and with the Turtle Calendar from the time of Yao. The Turtle Calendar of Yao (found in the Yaodian section of the Shangshu or 'Book of Documents') dates to 2300 BCE, plus or minus 250 years.

 

It seems clear from many sources that time --in the form of astronomy and calendars-- is at the heart of Feng Shui.

 

 In Yaodian, the cardinal directions are determined by the marker-stars of the mega-constellations known as the Four Celestial Animals.

East: the Bluegreen Dragon (Spring equinox) --- Niao (Bird), α Hydrae

South: the Red Bird (Summer solstice) --- Huo (Fire), α Scorpionis

West: the White Tiger (Autumn equinox) --- Xu (Emptiness, Void), α, β Aquarii

North: the Dark (Mysterious) Turtle (Winter solstice) --- Mao (Hair), η Tauri (the Pleiades)

The bagua diagrams are also linked with the sifang (four directions) method of divination used during the Shang dynasty.  The sifang is much older, however. It was used at Niuheliang, and figured large in Hongshan culture's astronomy. And it is this area of China that is linked to Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor, who allegedly invented the south-pointing spoon.
