"Like With Like"… A Secret Technique of Taoist Feng Shui

In Taoist Feng Shui one of the primary doctrines is the concept of matching "like with like"
which refers to matching your personal chi with the chi of your immediate space and environment. How you interpret the results and how deep you go with it is up to you… as long as you follow your own developed intuition.

Using your inner chi, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Do Your Directions Match? Use this simple method to check the season of your birth and check the directions that will bring you luck.

The Taoists associate the EAST with spring, NORTH with winter, SOUTH with summer and WEST with autumn. So it's believed if you move from your place of birth towards your seasonal birth direction you will have good fortune. So for example if you were born in the winter in Texas and you move to Nebraska you will be moving towards your birth direction which is north so the move will bring you good fortune.

2. Do Your Days Match? For instance, if you were born on the 9th of any month then the number 9 is good for you – and if you were born on a Tuesday then every Tuesday is good for you. This is a very simple approach. It is an approach to numerology that focuses on the number we remember most easily and uses the inner feng shui consciousness to tap subconscious lucky numbers. Say you were born on the 9th day of any month then 99 is lucky for you. A house with the number 99 means that the house will be lucky for you, or 199 or 499 etc.


3. Do Your Numbers Match?
Your numbers are based on your date of birth. According to Taoist feng shui you don't need to change this to the lunar date since your inner chi identifies with your western birth date. So if you were born on the 22nd October 1974, then your numbers would be 22 10 1974. Any of these numbers appearing in your address, telephone number or car number would be in affinity with you. So a car with number 2210 is good food for you. An address without any of your numbers is said to do nothing for you.

If you add up the numbers of your birth date, and reduce to a single digit number, you will obtain a number that is lucky for you. In this case 22 10 1974 adds up to (2+2+1+0+1+9+7+4) 26 and 2+6=8 so 8 is the number that brings you like with like!

4. Do Your Colours Match?
This is based on the season of your birth. If you were born in the spring your colour is green: in the summer it is red; in the winter it is black; and in the autumn it is white. During the "in-between" months it is yellow. When you wear your colours, it will bring you like with like good fortune.

Taoist also believe that wearing red or pink colours brings a lover or spouse, wearing yellow will enhance your wealth luck, wearing green will reduce stress and wearing white will help you recover from an illness. This is a simplistic approach to feng shui but it works! 

Choose yellow to enhance wealth and red or pink for love



Remember…you can use a simplistic approach or you can make matching "like with like" as complicated as you wish…how you interpret it is all up to you!
