They interact through two cycles: the Generating Cycle (Wood→Fire→Earth→Metal→Water→Wood) and the Controlling Cycle (Wood controls Earth, Earth controls Water, etc.). Feng Shui uses these cycles to create balanced, supportive environments.\n\n### What is Period 9 in Flying Star Feng Shui?\n\nPeriod 9 (九运) spans from 2024 to 2043 in the Flying Star Feng Shui system. It is governed by the number 9, associated with Fire element and the Li trigram. During Period 9, the #9 Star becomes the most auspicious, benefiting areas activated by this star. Technology, culture, and visibility-related industries are particularly favored.\n\n### How is the Kua number calculated?\n\nThe Kua number is calculated from your birth year. For males: add the last two digits of your birth year, reduce to a single digit, then subtract from 10. For females: add the last two digits of birth year, reduce to single digit, then add 5. If the result is 10, use 1; if it's 5, males use 2 and females use 8. The Kua number determines your four auspicious and four inauspicious directions.\n\n### What is the Pixiu bracelet used for in Feng Shui?\n\nThe Pixiu (貔貅) is a mythical Chinese creature believed to attract and accumulate wealth while preventing it from leaving. The Pixiu bracelet is worn as a Feng Shui amulet to enhance wealth luck, attract opportunities, and provide protection. Traditional practice holds that the Pixiu should face outward on the wrist and be treated respectfully.\n\n## Explore More Chinese Metaphysics Tools\n\n- [Bazi Calculator](/bazi/calculator) — Free Four Pillars destiny chart\n- [I Ching Divination](/iching/online) — Online hexagram reading\n- [Fortune Readings](/fortune) — Career, love, wealth, health\n- [Chinese Zodiac Tool](/tools/zodiac) — Zodiac analysis", "faqs": [ { "question": "What are the Five Elements in Feng Shui?", "answer": "The Five Elements in Feng Shui are Wood (木), Fire (火), Earth (土), Metal (金), and Water (水).
