Chung Yeong Festival (重陽節)

 

Chung Yeong Festival (重陽節), also known as the Double Ninth Festival (久久節 ) and the Chrysanthemum Festival (菊の節句), is observed on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese Lunar calendar. This year it’ll be on October 14, 2021. Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean will visit the cemetery of their ancestors to pay their respects. They will offer food and fruit as well as burn incense to their ancestors. Ching Ming and Chung Yeong Festival are important dates for us to pay respects to our ancestors.

According to the Lo Shu number, nine is the yang fire element, and the double ninth day and month will bring intense fire. Chrysanthemum blooms during that time; it will be advisable to drink chrysanthemum tea or liquor to balance your health.

OCTOBER 2021 Flying Star Chart

 

The ninth month (Yang Earth Dog month – October 8 – November 6, 2021) of the Yin Metal Ox Year

The first number is the monthly flying star, and the second number is the annual flying star. Use the chart to apply the following recommendations:

Northeast 9/9 – The Number 9 Purple Star will bring good news and happiness to the household this year. We are at the end of the Period of 8, and Number 9 Star will be significant in the Period of 9 starting 2024. Fire supports the earth element in the Northeast, providing wisdom and education luck as well. It will help to hang the Nine Golden Dragons Plaque or Flying Horse 9 Rods Windchime to capture the luck this month.  Consider having the Nine Dragons Standing Kwan Kung for promotion and career luck. Kwan Kung is also the God of Wealth for attracting wealth luck to you.

South 1/1 – Number 1 White Star brings little wealth and relationship luck to the household compared to the Number 8 Star. You may consider placing the Blue Colored Crane and Deer Carpet or place the Lotus Water Fountain to attract luck from this auspicious star this month. Brass Windhorse will help support the Number 1 Water Star and bring career luck to you as metal produces water.

Center 6/6 – This big metal Number 6 Heavenly White Star will bring windfall, investment, and gambling luck.  It would help if you took this excellent opportunity to capture it by placing Six Birds Auspicious Multiplier and Six Rods Metal Windchimes at the center of the house.  For better investment and gamble luck, hang the Winning Hand Wealth Talisman to attract luck from heaven.

Southwest 3/3 – The Number 3 Star flies into the Southwest, bringing argument, lawsuit, and misunderstanding, especially to the family’s matriarch. Display the Rose Quartz Apple or the Red Colored Embroidery Silk Kalachakra Placemat for protection. Consider decorating with the Red Colored Pi Xie Carpet at the Southwest of the house and removing excess green plants in this room.

Southeast 5/5 – You can treat it as Sum of Ten (5 = 5) for good luck, but it is one of the worst areas in your house due to the 5 Yellow Star, and it will bring lots of obstacles, arguments, loss of income, lousy relationship luck, and illness this year. It also brings health problems related to four limbs and your liver. Remove the red carpet and doormat in the southeast sector of the house. Avoid having any renovation this month and place green plants to counter the negative energy. Display the 5 Element Pagoda “Tree of Life” to control the negative energy from the 5 Yellow Star; make a silent wish each time you see this Five Element Pagoda for better luck.

North 2/2 – Number 2 Illness Star is one of the worst stars of 2021, bringing health issues to your family along with lots of obstacles. You must display the Medicine Buddha Gau, and Medicine Buddha will bring good health and longevity. Garuda bird also is the best Feng Shui enhancer to protect you from illness.

Northwest 7/7 – The Number 7 Star brings betrayal, violence, & burglary to the house’s northwest sector. The unfriendly star flies into the Northwest of the Lo Shu square, making it more potent and thus more dangerous, especially to the patriarch of the family and male boss of a company.  Place the Anti-Burglary Plaque with Door Guardians or hang the Anti-Burglary Sticker on the window and the door at the Northwest area; The two-door guardians will control the negative energy from the robbery star.  The protection mantra on the plaque helps exhaust the violent energy as well as protect you from the loss of property and possessions.

East 4/4 – The Number 4 Star will bring good relationships and education to you. This wood star flies into the East side of the house, bringing good luck; you must place the Lotus Water Fountain to support this star. For better education luck, it will help to hang the Wisdom Kwan Kung Mini Plaque; the Kwan Kung is seated in “wisdom posture.” A single person should display the Mandarin Ducks sitting on the Peony to attract relationship luck to you this month.

West 8/8 – The Number 8 Wealth Star is the luckiest star in the Period of 8, and it will be ended in February 2024. Take advantage of this opportunity and spend more time in this sector. It will be the auspicious sector in your house and must activate by placing the Water Fountain, Kwan Kung with Dragon Plaque or the Golden Dragon to attract wealth luck.
