Curing #5 star using Yin/Yang principle?

[myfs_97998]

Dear Master Lee,
Usually one would use metal (6-rod windchimes, 6-coins) to cure the #5 Earth star, but I came across a recent article that talks about curing the #5 Yellow using the balance of Yin and Yang. It says to put 8 white-colored stones (to represent 8 White star) in the sector of the #5. The idea is to have 8 Earth (Yin) to balance 5 Earth (Yang) and neutralize its bad effect. I would greatly appreciate your opinion on the effectiveness of this cure since this is my first time hearing using Yin/Yang to overcome bad stars.
Warmest Regards,
Nhan

Dear Nhan,
From a more serious approach, it is best to analyse the proposed cure based on the Five Elements Concept.
1. the number #8 earth represents = weak earth
2. white = metal element
3. #5 represents = strong earth
Academically, this cure may not seem to work because:-
a. adding 8 stones (without any colour preference) is adding additional earth to the sector. Thus, inflamming the #5.
b. although white represents metal, it may not be enough since, it is neither #6 (symbolic of big metal) or #7 (weak metal).
c. In order to neutralise #5, metal such as #7 weak metal may not be of enough strength.
d. The current proposed equation of " Eight earth " plus 8 white stones, which I feel represents "weak metal" against #5.
e. Under such a senario, in my opinion, this is either a weak cure or not sufficient under the Five Elements concept.
Under the Yin and Yang Concept:
If we choose to look at it only from a Yin and Yang concept then, academically, we should not only
1. match 8 = Yin and 5 = Yang
2. but also the strength of both Yin and Yang.
Here, 8 = WEAK Yin
5 = STRONG Yang
Given this senario, it would even be better to select a STRONG YIN vs STRONG Yang rather than Weak Yin against Strong Yang. Thus, both are balanced.
For example, 6 = STRONG METAL (thus, STRONG YIN)
vs 5 = STRONG YANG
Given this senario, it is better to match 6 with 5. As opposed to 8 with 5.
In addition, based on the Five Elements concept, this idea only `play' with EARTH -> WEAK METAL.
In Feng Shui, in my opinion, a better success is, if this is say an office, environment, keep the centrepoint bright or introduce lights at this sector. This is often, another more highly used cure in Feng Shui.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Master Cecil Lee

I was reading through the past articles in the forum and came upon this where it was advised to used bright lights against #5?

I am afraid I don't understand as I thought bright light is considered strong yang and also fire element (which enhances #5)?

Thank you!

Dear Nhan,



From a more serious approach,

it is best to analyse the

Five Elements Concept.



1. the number #8 earth

represents = weak earth



2. white = metal element



3. #5 represents = strong

earth



Academically, this cure may

not seem to work because:-



a. adding 8 stones (without

any colour preference) is

adding additional earth to the

sector. Thus, inflamming the

#5.



b. although white represents

metal, it may not be enough

since, it is neither #6

(symbolic of big metal) or #7

(weak metal).



c. In order to neutralise #5,

metal such as #7 weak metal

may not be of enough strength.



d. The current proposed

equation of " Eight earth "

plus 8 white stones, which I

feel represents "weak metal"

against #5.



e. Under such a senario, in my

opinion, this is either a weak

cure or not sufficient under

the Five Elements concept.



Under the Yin and Yang

Concept:



If we choose to look at it

only from a Yin and Yang

concept then, academically, we

should not only



1. match 8 = Yin and 5 = Yang

2. but also the strength of

both Yin and Yang.



Here, 8 = WEAK Yin

5 = STRONG Yang



Given this senario, it would

even be better to select a

STRONG YIN vs STRONG Yang

rather than Weak Yin against

Strong Yang. Thus, both are

For example, 6 = STRONG METAL

(thus, STRONG YIN)

vs 5 = STRONG YANG



Given this senario, it is

better to match 6 with 5. As

opposed to 8 with 5.



In addition, based on the Five

Elements concept, this idea

only `play' with EARTH -
WEAK

METAL.



In Feng Shui, in my opinion, a
