It is believed that a good yin house fengshui or grave fengshui is an assurance of good fortune and well being for a family's present and future generations. Recently, I kept seeing charts that have earth clashes affecting the year earthly branch. This is the sign that there is an ancestor grave fengshui problem since the year pillar also represents the ancestor palace.

What can go wrong to a grave that can affect its fengshui?

​Well, there can be major and minor cracks at the tombstone. Some masters can tell of these tombstone cracks from a person's forehead. Sometimes, there is water retention problem and worst of all, the grave sank. In one instance, two brothers have earth clashes in their year earthly branches and they found out that their grandmother's grave had sunk. Even after rectification works have been done, problems got worse. So, sometimes rectification works do not necessarily make the fengshui good.

What are the negative effects of a bad yin house fengshui?

Problems, problems and many more problems for the family members. Business failure, major accidents, financial distress, major illnesses, retrenchments, no career breakthrough, calamities, deaths and many more sad events.

How do we really rectify the problem?

We need a good yin house fengshui master to assess the situation and help to restore the good fengshui of the grave. In some cases, it is best that the bones be picked and  cremated. The ashes will then be stored in the urns and placed in a temple or places alike. Remember that no grave fengshui is better than bad grave fengshui.

Below are the examples of the earth clashes affecting the year earthly branch. The first two cases belong to the brothers mentioned above.

The Chinese All Souls' day or "Qing Ming" is just around the corner. Many Chinese will be swarming the graveyards in remembrance of their departed beloved ones as a mark of respect and filial piety. For those involved, please ensure that the graves are in good condition.

This is the chart a 54 year-old lady who is suffering from the effect of the negative bing-shen fu-yin. In late February 2016, she had a terrible accident and up to now she is still in a coma. She was riding a motorbike when a car in front of her stopped suddenly. She slammed into the car and fell, injuring her head as her helmet broke.

This is a strong ding fire day master. So, the bing-shen fu-yin between her luck pillar and the annual pillar is a negative one. If you have learnt ZiPing bazi method, you will know that this lady is in her last year of her bing-shen luck pillar. I have found out time and again that this luck pillar theory of the ZiPing bazi is correct. Many bazi students are still uncertain as to when luck pillars commence and end.

This unfortunate accident occurred in the geng-yin month. There are 2 shens clashing the yin and the shen-yin clash is also known as the accident clash.

Just a reminder. There will be a bing-shen fu-yin in August 2016 between the month and year pillars. If fire stars are negative in your chart, you need to be careful, especially if you have yin tiger in your natal chart or your luck pillar.

I have brought her family members to pray to Kuan Yin and the Earth Store Bodhisattva because xin-mao and xin-chou in her natal chart represent both these Bodhisattva. May Kuan Yin and the Earth Store Bodhisattva have mercy on her and let her recovers quickly. We still await a miracle.
