Needle, Needle here and there.

Swivelling Needle (搪針) – Is when Needle is vibrate or sways to one side, and could not stop moving. This indicates strong magnetic influences. Usually related to Calamity and Vices. However, one should not jump into conclusion, instead check if the area is affected by electromagnetic rods or lightning arrestors.

Floating Needle (兌針) – When Needle tip floats upwards. It is said that benevolent Yin spirit is present, possibly of one’s ancestors, it could mean a holy spirit or good deity is residing in the house. Make sure the leveling bubble is checked before coming to conclusions.

Sinking Needle (沉針) – This occurs when Needle tip sinks downwards. Signifies that an Angry, Upset or Malevolent spirit is residing or present, possibly a dead soul died of injustice or unnatural death. Make sure the leveling bubble is checked before coming to conclusions. The Eastern Practitioner are more sensitive to this aspect and more often than not, a divination would have been cast before surveying to avoid such a location.

Rotating Needle (轉針) – Needle is rotating nonstop. Malevolent spirit with anger and hatred hovering above, non-stop. Residents risked injury or harm. Practitioners could chant a sutra or prayer in the heart/ mind for personal protection. This is also the reason why Eastern Practitioner sought alignment with their Deity for personal protection as well as casting a divination before an audit.

Pitching Needle (投針) – The Needle usually will nod up and down then come to a halt. But if Needle is pitching up and down nonstop (in a see-saw motion), in the past this indicates the ground below have buried graves and residents may face a series of mishaps.

Opposite Needle (逆針) – Needle cannot come to the centreline or slanted. Usually dragged down by wealth issues.

Side Needle (側針) – Needle has rested but could not stay long. Direct Qi is too strong and possibly suitable for temple sites, not peaceful for residents or graves.

Steady Needle (正針) – Needle is steady and set correctly. Means, the ground is normal.

乘、止、截、虚、气

(一)乘龙原则——以山为坐乘者,骑也,坐也!龙前行而坐在其中。这只是一种比喻,而不是真正的“骑龙”。因为如果是真正的骑龙,穴位是立(骑)在龙的背上(龙脉之上),这显然是丁财两败的凶穴了,因而构成了破败的格局。

乘龙的口诀是:“以山为坐”,与山相对的另一方为向。原因是:山主阴,水主阳;山主静,水主动。此诀实际上是“以阳为向”。如果有两山都近在宅、穴的前方,则以较大的山为坐。如果两山的大小都相同,则以较近处的山为坐。山以大为坐,以在室内能望得见来衡量大小。

(二)止龙原则——以水为向,晋代郭璞说“气乘风即散,界水则止”。这说明:任何龙脉,只要遇到大的江河湖海,会立即停止而不在前行,这就是结穴聚气之处。而只有界水而且真水,才可以为向以来龙为坐。

立向的原则是:‘以阴为坐,以阳为向,以静为坐,以动为向。山为阴为静,水为阳为动,故以水为向建宅立穴。如果有两水靠近宅、穴之前,则以大者为向,如果两水的大小一致,则以较近者为向,这就是说:“水以大为向,以近为向。其大小,是以在宅内能看见为衡量标准。

(三)截龙原则 ——以路为向,气乘风即散,界水则止。而城市中,大路为水,目前我国的农村也在城市化建设。所以气遇到大路便产生界水则止的趋向。但大路只能阻气、隔气,截气,而不能界住龙气。尚若无龙脉,也无水的条件下,就要以路为向了。

阻龙的口诀是:“以路为向”,相对的另一方便是“坐”。因山主阴,路主阳;山为静,路为动,立向以阳、以动为向,所以路为向也是正确的。如果有两条大路皆在宅、穴之前方,则以较宽大的路为向,如果两条路的宽度都是一样,则以较近者为向。这就是说:“路以宽为向,以在室内能看得见来衡量大小。

(四)虚龙原则——以明堂为向,虚者,原指无遮挡的开阔地,如花园广场、停车场、明堂等。所以如无龙脉、界水及横路立向、定向时,则以明堂为向。 虚龙的口诀是:“以虚空为向”,相对的另一方为坐。如果宅外有两个花园,则以较大者为向;如果两个花园大小相同,则以近者为向。花园之大小,是以在室内能看得见为衡量标准。

(五)气龙原则——以气口为向,气龙者,原指流动的空气、气流。也就是说:有气流通就可以为向。有气流通之处,谷称为气,即住宅之大门。所以要无龙脉、界水、横路及明堂时,则可以门为向。气龙的口廖是:“以气口为向,相对的另一方为坐。因为山主阴,气口主阳,山为静,气口为动,所以以气口为向,是正确的。
