The 8 Elements is the study of the personification of the elements. The elements are present energetically in the Universe and physically on the Earth. The focus of the study of The 8 Elements is to balance, honor and embody your unique personal energy. The school of feng shui used to determine the personal feng shui elements is called Eight Mansions or Eight Palaces. 

Your personal feng shui element is calculated using the Chinese solar calendar and your full date of birth (mm/dd/yyyy). Additionally, unlike astrology, this system is specific to your male or female sex.

Combining the Five Elements with Yin & Yang energies, creates eight distinct personal feng shui elements: Water, Mother Earth, Hard Wood, Soft Wood, Hard Metal, Soft Metal, Mountain Earth & Fire. 

This study is closely related to the other schools of classical feng shui and traditional Chinese medicine: Lo Shu Flying Stars, The Five Elements, Yin/Yang and East/West House.

Eight Mansions is a school of traditional feng shui that all classically trained feng shui consultants learn and master. It’s what allows us to place each member of the family or business in their best areas of the home or office and arrange furniture, like beds and desks, so they can honor their most favorable directions. Knowing the personal Life Star or kua numbers of our clients allows us the use The Five Elements to support their unique personal energy.

The body of work that is The 8 Elements: Feng Shui for YOU! is MY application of feng shui principles to the personal energy of people. I have devoted the past 25+ years of my life to the study of feng shui, the observation of people and the creation of this original work of authorship.
