Holistic Interpretation
The feng shui of ancestral graves is a crucial factor influencing a family’s fortune. Whether it is an ancestral grave that has been resting for many years or a new one, when descendants seek divination, there must be a specific reason. Only by clarifying the exact cause can an accurate judgment be made. Some suspect the grave is unfavorable due to years of hardship; others doubt whether the feng shui can assist in academic success when repeated attempts at imperial examinations fail or when their children are about to take exams; some are troubled by years of stagnation in their official careers; others worry that feng shui issues are causing their descendants to die young; some fear that feng shui is causing frequent illnesses among family members; and still others are concerned about consecutive years of lawsuits, fires, or thefts, or are unsure how to repair a damaged ancestral grave. Some may simply inquire about the continuity or damage of the earth’s energy—all such divinations take the Parent Line as the ruling sign.
If the hexagram displays a Six Clashes pattern 🌪️, it indicates the loss of earth energy; if the hexagram transforms into exhaustion, it suggests a precarious situation. When the lines encounter a Hidden Repetition, even if there is an intention to relocate the grave, it will be difficult to achieve; if an Opposite Repetition appears, relocation will eventually occur even if unintended. A hexagram transforming into Six Clashes foretells the dissipation of the dragon vein, and descendants may face a decline in family fortune; a transformation from Six Clashes to Six Harmonies indicates rising earth energy, with descendants gradually improving their circumstances.
If the Parent Line is strong and vibrant ⚡, the ancestral grave is stable and blessings are enduring; if it is tomb-exhausted or weak 💨, descendants will scatter, and fortunes will decline. For already-buried sites, the state of the Parent Line is paramount: it should be strong and vibrant, supported by the Sun, Moon, or moving lines, or transforming into growth, transforming into the Sun or Moon, transforming into mutual assistance, or transforming into an advancing spirit—all signify an auspicious site, ensuring prosperous descendants and peace for the deceased. If the Parent Line is strong and vibrant and further encounters Imperial Viability or Eternal Growth, the dragon vein will be long-lasting, and the family will thrive for generations. Avoid tomb exhaustion, emptiness, or breakage; moving lines that break or scatter; transforming into a retreating spirit; transforming into exhaustion or tomb; transforming into a reverse clash; or transforming into empty periods—such ominous signs indicate unrest for the deceased and loneliness for the living.
If the Self Line transforms into a ghost 👻, the diviner themselves are inauspicious; if the ghost line transforms into one of the Six Relations, it bodes ill for the corresponding relative. For instance, if the Child Line transforms into a ghost, those born in the Year of the Rat will suffer; if the Horse Line transforms into a ghost, those born in the Year of the Horse will face misfortune, and so forth.
The Old Man of the Wild Crane pointed out: Ancient methods suggest that the Parent Line should not be too strong, as it may harm descendants. This view is mistaken. When divining about old graves, the Parent Line serves as the ruling sign. If it is strong and vibrant and transforms auspiciously, it indicates the ancestors’ peace. Only when the Child Line transforms into the Parent Line or the Parent Line transforms into the Child Line does it reveal an unfavorable sign for descendants.
