Four Annual Afflictions Feng Shui

4 Annual Afflictions

Classical Feng Shui

The four annual afflictions calculation is used to look at yearly influences. These are seen as being unfavourable sectors during times of construction, renovation and when seated towards or away from these directions (depending on the affliction).  Each year the 4 annual afflictions move into another sector on the compass. This is where the ‘Time Factor’ comes into Classical Feng Shui. Every year subtle changes occur as the 9 Lo Shu numbers move into different sectors in their mathematical sequence. This provides one layer for Feng Shui analysis of your property. The other annual Feng Shui influences are the yearly visiting flying stars.
