According to Feng Shui, human beings are the center of the universe, according to the Eastern philosophical theory of the Three Powers: Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. Humans are the most complete product of nature and are considered the center of Heaven and Earth. With Heaven and Earth in place, the development and movement of these forces have led to the creation of humans as a microcosm of the universe. Since humans are a product of nature, they are naturally subject to its influences, just as all living beings on Earth are influenced by nature and the environment.
Each person is born at different times and locations on Earth. The movement of celestial bodies in their various orbits, especially the significant influence of planets in the solar system such as the Moon, the Sun, Venus, Mars, Saturn, and other cosmic rays, along with environmental factors, affects each individual uniquely, resulting in different qualities and characteristics. Modern science also indicates that humans are influenced by biological cycles, such as cycles of intelligence, health, and psychology. This is why every person has a different starting point and experiences life influenced by varying cycles, which ancient wisdom referred to as “Heavenly Destiny.”
However, human destiny is a composite function that includes not only “Heavenly Destiny” but also genetic inheritance, living environment, geographical location, and individual effort. Therefore, two people born at the same time may have different destinies.
In summary, human destiny can be approximated by the following formula:
Destiny = Heavenly Destiny + Earthly Destiny + Human Effort
- Heavenly Destiny refers to the fixed aspects of one’s life.
- Earthly Destiny involves the social environment and Feng Shui of one’s residence.
- Human Effort encompasses individual efforts in education, training, work, and self-cultivation.
While Heavenly Destiny is fixed, Earthly Destiny and Human Effort can be adjusted, highlighting the crucial role of Feng Shui. Choosing a good Feng Shui environment for homes, offices, bedrooms, and workspaces can have a significant impact on one’s life.
