A good feng shui study area help your child to focus. Listed here are 4 simple D.I.Y. methods and tips to improve your child’s learning abilities.
Seriously clearing clutter again
The usual feng shui cliché for study area is have lights, unclutter and tidy up. When comes to feng shui tips is always “clearing clutter” omg. If that is the case then you don’t need to engage a feng shui master, employing a helper make more sense.
Then there are those who try to sell you feng shui stuff such as pagoda, brushes or chinese calligraphy.
The chinese term for feng shui study location is call wen chang position 文昌位. Wen Chang is the academic star to accentuate literature dominance, scholarly pursue or intellect or mental agility. It helps concentration and clears the mind.
Below are 4 simple methods to locate wen chang position in your house. If the space is available you only need to place the study desk and automatically your child’s concentration will improve, no items are necessary. If unfortunately the wen chang sector is missing or in the toilet then one have to improvise using other formulas such as ZiWei DouShu, Qi Men Dun Jia or Xuan Kong Home Destiny feng shui.
Method 1. Eight House and Nine palace 八宅九宫飞泊
Every home has it’s predestined position for learning, in feng shui known as wen chang star location 文昌位. It is based on the sitting position of the house which is also known as House Destiny 宅命.
Sitting position of a house is 180 degree opposite direction to main door facing. Take for example if you main door faces North 10 degree, then your Home Destiny is South 190 degree based on 8 Mansion formula 八宅明镜.
See illustration, Northwest house 乾宅 and the study sector in the East 震卦
2. Annual flying star “1” or “4” positions
Using Annual flying star principle is one of the easiest and most effective method to activate study. Take this year 2014, annual flying star 4 is in the centre sector and 1 in South-West sector.
If one can position the study table at the sector where annual flying star 1 or 4 lands the “learning” energy is already activated. Nowadays is so convenient one can use the laptop at the annual wen chang sector
The impact of annual flying star is fast and yield positive results for quick fix like critical years PSLE, GCE O Level, GCE A Level. The impact is for one year therefore the influence is rapid. Just a word of caution, it is best for your interest to check your Home destiny feng shui before activating this.
3. Child day of birth 日主天干
This method uses bazi profiling to locate study area. It is permanent and last forever. You don’t have to place any additional enhancement if you are able to place the study table. However if you wanted to enhance further you can match the 5 element of the sector. Below is the Chinese script to identify the location of feng shui study segment.

4. Home destiny flying star method
This method you have to know your Home Destiny Energy Map. Among the 4 methods this is one of the most effective. The following flying star combos that meet this criteria are:
14 or 41 at a particular sector 四一同宫 科发之名 (FSM clients can check their Home Destiny charts)
四属木巽卦 wood，一属水坎卦 water，水能生木，木入坎宫代表凤池身贵，声名显赫。
6 & 1 combo 虛聯奎壁，啟八代之文章 status and reputation
9 & 4 combo 木见火而生聪明之士 better suited for creativity, arts and humanities
On the other hand these are the sectors that you should avoid using as study because it dulls the mind and make us more retarded.
9 & 2 combo or 9 & 5 combo 生愚钝顽夫 meets getting stupid ，无家室之相依
Parents high expectations resulting in loss of motivation from your child
In Singapore, it is understandable that as parent you will want your child to be the best. It is easy for you as parents to set high standards and demand for an “A” from your child during examinations. However, as parents you must understand the repercussions of setting unrealistic expectations.
Just imagine putting yourself in your child’s shoes. If your boss gives you a target which is impossible to meet. You will most probably lose motivation because no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to satisfy him or her. Similarly, this is how your children might feel.
before closing this post please allow me to quote this poem from Su Shi 苏轼
洗儿戏
人皆养子望聪明 我被聪明误一生
惟愿孩儿愚且鲁 无灾无难到公卿
sometimes as parents we have to “learn” to accept our child’s talents maybe elsewhere instead of academic pursue.
Su Shi 苏 轼 also known as 苏 东破 dongpo, was a Chinese scholar-official, active as a poet, essayist, calligrapher and painter during the Song dynasty
