The Wu Wang, or 5 Yellow Disaster/Calamity Star is hosted by the East sector this year. This is one of the 4 Annual Afflictions for 2020. The east sector is associated with the wood element, which will control the earth element of the 5, mitigating the fullest potential of the 5. However, this controlling relationship also creates turbulence and unrest.
The best approach to take with this energy is to avoid activation of this sector. Keep it tidy, calm, and quiet to avoid activating the 5 Yellow energy. This includes no construction or earthwork in or around this sector in 2020. If there is construction nearby, either completely avoid spending time in the East sector or hang a large metal wind chime on your house between the construction site and your house to help mitigate the triggering energy that activates the Disaster/Calamity Star. Adding an interior mitigator depends on the specifics of your space, but generally speaking, moving metal is a preferred method for deactivating the Disaster Star.
If your front door is in the East sector, it’s best that you enter your house through another door this year. Perhaps you have a garage entry or a back door that you can use. If you don’t have another door you can use, avoid slamming the door and high activity. Move in and out of this area quietly and gently. If your bedroom or work space is in this sector, move to another room this year if possible, since this is the most detrimental of all the Annual Afflictions with calamitous potential. If you can’t do this, be mindful of how you spend time here and keep it orderly and calm. In this case, it would also be best to consult a professional Feng Shui specialist to help you find the best way to manage this energy in your specific home or business.
This Star is particularly inauspicious for those with Monkey in their BaZi chart. There is potential for relationship issues, emotional issues, frustration, setbacks, and depression, depending upon where Monkey appears in your chart. If you have the Horse in your chart this can also be bothersome. The Horse is in opposition to the Grand Duke in 2020, so there is some additional negative potential. If you add an activated Wu Wang, it could be pretty unpleasant.
Everything is vibrational. Our thoughts, our bodies, and everything in the environment around us has a specific vibrational pattern or frequency. This is simple physics. And as vibrational patterns intersect with or encounter other vibrational patterns, they change. This may be a positive or negative change but there is always going to be change. The goal in Feng Shui is to mitigate negative patterns and enhance or activate positive patterns.
As with all unfavorable energy patterns, being mindful of the potential provides us with the information we need to prepare and plan for mindful practices. Even though there is potential for either favorable or unfavorable outcomes, we are ultimately responsible for how we use this energy. Where there is inauspicious energy, mindfulness plays a large role. Take care in your activities in those areas and don’t do reckless things. We have the will to overcome anything we set our minds to. Take steps to improve your health, especially if you have chronic or recurring issues. We are not indestructible and these inauspicious areas remind us that we need to be more mindful as we go through our daily lives.
