to allow East group people to enter the home. T is South-facing door was perfect for Andrea as it was her Sheng Chi direction as well as her animal sign direction (Andrea was born in the year of the Horse).
3Creating an OPEN-PLAN Layout
T e house was redesigned with an open- plan layout (without too many walls) to allow the good fl ying stars to dominate these areas. T e added advantage here is that the stunning views of the harbour could be seen from the Dining and Living areas! As you can see from the new plan, the good numbers (marked in blue) were in the South (631), centre (186) and entrance area (818). T e Dining room which was the main location where the family would gather and where parties would be held was situated in the South, and all the walls were removed to allow energy from the good stars to move freely. T e centre stars 186 were incredibly auspicious, so we energized this location with one of her crystal chandeliers to keep it bright and open, letting the energy permeate the home.
4Activating the Double 8
Rock Garden Andrea and Mark longed for a landscaped natural waterfall garden in front of their entrance. Because their Double 8 star was located in the West sector, this was actually an ideal place for this. T e most important aspect of having a water feature here was to ensure that the “Mountain Star” was activated just as well as the Water star, and to do this, the waterfall had to fl ow from a high wall or high rock. I also advised her to crate rock gardens in the NW (Metal) and SW (Earth) corners of the garden, as these two locations benefi t from strong EARTH energy.
Star and installing a 5Enhancing the NORTHWEST for MARK
The Northwest area has been extended and converted into Mark’s private “den” where he can read his books and listen to his huge classical and jazz music collection. T is was an excellent location for the Patriarch of the house, and the Mountain star here was very strong for health. But the water star #7 here was a problem and this had to be weakened. So in the NW corner, we
To ensure that energy did not “run straight out” the sun room when it travelled in from the entrance, we placed her near life-size sculptures of Roman Gods facing the entrance to protect her home as well as act as a buff er to slow down the energy. Andrea had strong affi nity with the
Roman Gods, and had commissioned beautiful stone and metal statues of Jupiter (the King of Gods), Minerva (God of Wisdom) and Plutus (T e Roman God of Wealth)… so all three were positioned as a trinity formation: Jupiter to greet the door, Plutus to face the dining area and Minerva to face the sun room!

placed a small water feature here to exhaust the #7 star, and a large red coloured crystal to activate the Mountain #9 star. His study desk was also oriented to face West, which was Mark’s Sheng Chi direction. We also placed a medium-sized image of Mars, the Roman Warrior King to protect the luck of the NW corner for Mark and keep the #7 star under control!
6Killing the Deadly Stars
T e negative stars in the Northeast (7/9), East (3/4) and Southeast (2/5) had to be weakened. Andrea had a beautiful limited edition print of Rangitoto Island, personally signed and gifted to her by famous NZ artist Jane Puckey, which would be perfectly displayed in the Northeast corner. Rangitoto Island was a huge volcanic mountain surrounded by water, and this would activate the direct Spirit of the NE. T e Water surrounding it kills off the #7 mountain star. For the East, we installed her stunning crystal chandelier to produce strong Fire energy there and suppress the 3 and 4. She also adopted a red colour scheme for her carpets in this area. For the Southeast corner, she installed an antique Chinese cabinet with locks to “imprison” the 2 and 5. Recently, she has even added the Five Element Pagoda and Chinese Wu Lou here to suppress these two stars.
CONCLUSION
It took about a year for Andrea and Mark to complete all the necessary renovations, but it was worth it. Mark left his role with the organization with a big secret pay-out and went ahead to launch a new career in television endorsing several large brands in New Zealand. His health improved signifi cantly.
He shed a lot of unwanted weight and adopted a more active lifestyle. His lung condition has also improved – with less frequent visits to the U.S for treatment. Andrea became the Chairman of the
law fi rm she was partner in, and retired several years later to take other high profi le roles for charity. T e couple now have fi ve very lovely grandchildren and all their children are happily married! * Names changed to protect privacy of individuals.
