Newsletter – Luck for the 12 Chinese Zodiacs in October 2019

Chung Yeong Festival (重陽節), also known as the Double Ninth Festival (久久節 ) and the Chrysanthemum Festival (菊の節句), takes place on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese Lunar calendar. On this day, traditional Chinese and Korean visit their ancestors’ cemetery to pay respect, offering food and fruit, and burning incense for their ancestors.

According to the Lo Shu number, nine is the Yang Fire element and the double ninth day and month brings intense fire. On that day, it’s best to drink chrysanthemum tea or liquor to balance your health as chrysanthemum blooms abundantly during that time.

Chung Yeung Festival – Cementery Feng Shui


 

Cemetery Feng Shui is the geography of a burial plot of land, which differs from Feng Shui for the living. People believe that a good Feng Shui graveyard will help protect the owner’s offspring and bring them peace, good health, fortune, and prosperity.

The Chinese character for burial, , means that when a person dies, he or she should be buried in the soil surrounded by a green lawn and plants. The combination of soil, green lawn, and plants bring healthy, new energy to the offspring. The burial plot should constantly be watered and maintained as the water supports the wood energy for a new life.

Our parents are the root of our lives; without our parents, we would not exist. Therefore, family members, especially parents, must be buried in an excellent place to support the good CHI for future generations. The best cemetery should have sunlight for Yang energy, which especially benefits male offspring. Also, it’s best to be buried in fresh land that hasn’t been built on before as new graves invite new energy.  With that being said, the burial area should have a good balance of the tombstone, soil, flowers, and other plants.

Location and direction are major factors in choosing the right location for family members. During the Chung Yeong Festival (重陽節) week on October 12, 2019, I will be at the Palm Eastern Cemetery in Las Vegas to help you choose the best land or answer Feng Shui questions related to cemetery Feng Shui.

We look forward to seeing you then!
