Some practitioners can walk into a property, take a look at it, accurately tell what has happened there, and predict what will happen to its occupants in the future - without a Luo Pan in sight.

You may ask, "How do they do it?"

In Feng Shui there are two numerological formations that most enthusiasts would refer to as the "House Judgement" of the field. Seasoned practitioners appreciate the practicality of these models - He Tu and Luo Shu - as it enables them to perform a quick, yet comprehensive glance-through audit for any property.

For Feng Shui practitioners and students, these two models strengthen your foundation and fortify your journey to more skilful applications in the future. Can property owners - with no prior grasp of Chinese Metaphysics - perform the same property analysis and reap similar benefit?

Before we go further, it is important to bear in mind that Feng Shui is a science, as well as an art. Anybody looking into practising Feng Shui regardless of the scale needs to get to the bottom of it or at least learn to grasp the basics as it would otherwise be difficult to implement and derive positive results from their efforts.

These two formations are important because they serve as the perfect base models in Feng Shui as well as for applications such as Flying Stars and Eight Mansions. Potential or current homeowners need to recognise this before they can craft their first step. In other words, you need to study the theory and practise it.

Given the simplicity of He Tu and Luo Shu, can we apply it for wide range of applications? Yes, because they are not exactly as simple as they seem. In a typical Feng Shui audit, practitioners normally have to consider the Direction, dynamic movement of the Five Elements, the natural changes of the Four Seasons as well as the flow of Qi within a building. The beauty of Luo Shu is that it incorporates all these into one model, which in other words, encompasses most of the things you need to derive an accurate reading.

The He Tu model, being the perfect counterpart to the Luo Shu, contrasts the latter's view of constant and cyclical nature with a state of perfect and ideal condition - meaning, no movement, no evolution and time does not exist.

Earlier, we have pointed out that Luo Shu is used to gauge the Five Elements locations in a property. But, what if these Five Elements are aggravated by the presence of external factors in your house? The table below states the base locations for the Five Elements and the family members that would be affected if things go amiss:

From the table, you might notice that South sector is represented by Fire element. So what happens if sharp building or mountain is spotted to the South of the building? As sharp forms are considered Fire Element, having such Forms in the South tell us that the Fire Element affecting our property is already too strong.

How about the presence of a building with flat roof (i.e. Earth) to the North? By knowing that North represents Water and that Earth and Water are not in harmony with each other, we can deduce that the afflicted North sector would affect the second son of the family or reduce values like intelligence or creativity, which normally associated with Water Element.

As such, the next time you're think about snagging up a certain piece of property, assess it again and double-check its internal and external sectors. You'll be surprised at what you will find.
