Feng Shui The Career Star

Each time the conversation over the career star (Flying Star #6 or 6 White Star) pops up, I can’t help myself but to be reminded of Robert Kiyosaki‘s book Rich Dad Poor Dad where it outlines the difference in thought processes, risk appetite, principles and so on between the “Rich Dad” and a “Poor Dad”. The “Rich Dad” being a businessman while the “Poor Dad” is a salaried person; from that aspect, one will advise you to invest your money for maximum returns, while the other would advise you to save up your money to buy a house. In my perspective, Flying Star 6 will be known as the career star to the poor dad while meaning more of an authoritative star to the rich dad. Generally known as the career star, because, well you guessed it, there are more salaried men our there than there are businessmen / entrepreneurs. Now that we have a view of the different perspectives, to harness the energy of the Career Star we first need to understand the wants and needs of the asker.

Feng Shui The Nobleman Star

Can we homo sapiens exist as a singular blob of meat? Can a single human being roam the surface of a planet and survive with its sanity intact? Say for some oddness this human miraculously survives on his own, since birth, how will he learn, from whom or what will he learn from? Perhaps innate instinct? Well even the term “homo sapiens” does not exist in a singular form. So there you go, we must coexist and exchange our energy with one another, with other species, with the environment to feed the continuous cycle of life itself. In this post I’m not advocating that we ought to be social butterflies, rather, we need people around us to form symbiotic relationships. The exchange of energy is what keeps the cogs of this universe alive and kicking! That my friends, is when we turn to the Nobleman Star. In Feng Shui, the Nobleman Star is the 1 White Star. The term “Nobleman” used here does not mean rank or title, rather, it means helpful people. So let’s put our egos (for better or worse) aside and accept that we need to help and need to receive help one way or another, at some points in our lives.

Feng Shui The Academic Star

The majority of adults would ask for wealth. Make Feng Shui bring me money. Where’s the wealth sector? I want to strike the lottery. I want a raise. I want a promotion. It’s always about money. The young aspiring adults would likely add on fame to the list. I want to be an influencer. I want to have a million followers on instagram and so on. Here comes reality, Feng Shui ain’t getting you shit if you sit there and do nothing. Nothing’s ever gonna get you anything if you sit there and do nothing. Let that thought sit for awhile.. .. .. OK, now that we’ve come to our senses, let’s be realistic; anything we do in our lives, we learnt from someone or somewhere or through experience. Agree? Congratulations! You’re one step the wiser :-). First and foremost, knowledge is the ingredient, the not so secret sauce that will improve us. Applied knowledge through practice is what will improve our market value. Mastery of knowledge is what enables us to demand. Demand is where money goes too. That’s where we turn to the Academic star. In Feng Shui, the academic star is the 4 Green Star.
