The Technique

A building is read from its land and its compass.

Classical Feng Shui reads two things at once: the form of a site — its land, its water, the buildings around it — and its compass direction, taken to the degree. Neither is sufficient alone, and the instrument that ties them is the Luo Pan. This course teaches both schools as one method, and the remedies that follow from it.

  • Qi (气) and the two schools: what Form (峦头) reads in the land and what Compass (理气) reads in the direction.
  • The four celestial animals, mountain and water theory, and how a building's own shape is assessed.
  • The Luo Pan as an instrument: the Heaven Pool and its needle, and the Twenty-Four Mountain ring.
  • Qi entering a building, the main door as its mouth, and the difference between Sheng Qi (生气) and Sha Qi (煞气).

Why Learn It

Feng Shui is not interior decorating.

Feng Shui (风水, literally "wind and water") is a 3,000-year-old Chinese system for reading the relationship between a building and the land it sits on. It is not about red front doors, and it is not about money frogs on your desk: it is the classical art of siting, orientation and Qi management.

  • Form School (峦头派)

    The older of the two main schools, reading the landscape itself — mountains, water, neighbouring buildings, the four celestial animals — to assess whether a site holds Qi or loses it.

  • Compass School (理气派)

    The Luo Pan takes precise sitting and facing directions and applies the systems built on the Eight Trigrams, the 24 Mountains and the Five Elements — where Feng Shui becomes a precision instrument.

  • Qi — living and killing

    Sheng Qi (生气, living energy) accumulates in well-formed sites; Sha Qi (煞气, killing energy) attacks them. The work is to identify both, encourage one, and remedy the other.

  • Ba Gua and Five Elements

    The Eight Trigrams (八卦) and the Five Elements (五行) are the symbolic engines of Feng Shui, inherited from the Yi Jing — without them every remedy is guesswork.

  • Hands-on Luo Pan operation

    The anatomy of the compass, the Heaven Pool and its needle, the 24-Mountain ring, and how to take an accurate reading — with practice exercises.

  • The case studies

    Twelve real case studies — residential, commercial and problem properties — closing with consultation structure, ethics, and integration with BaZi and Date Selection.

Your Instructor

Classical foundations. Modern rigour.

I have spent over a decade dismantling the barrier between "ancient wisdom" and "modern logic." Since 2014, I have practiced Chinese metaphysics professionally, building a reputation for technical precision in BaZi (八字), Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微斗数), Qi Men Dun Jia (奇门遁甲), and classical Feng Shui — read for clients across Asia, North America, and Europe.

This masterclass exists because Feng Shui is the most public-facing branch of Chinese metaphysics — and the most misrepresented. Most "Feng Shui" content online is wellness-industry vocabulary stretched over 1990s Western Bagua templates. Almost none of it teaches Form School. Almost none of it teaches the Luo Pan. This course teaches both — the way the classical tradition has taught them for 1,500 years.

By the end of this course, you will not only understand Feng Shui — you will be able to operate a Luo Pan, run the six-step assessment method on any building, and structure a professional consultation that integrates with BaZi and Date Selection.

Have questions?

Before you commit.

  • What is Feng Shui, exactly?

    Feng Shui (风水) is a 3,000-year-old Chinese system for reading the relationship between a building and the land it sits on. The two characters mean "wind" and "water" — the two forces that move and hold Qi in the landscape. Classical Feng Shui has two main branches: Form School (峦头派), which reads landforms, mountains, water, and surrounding structures; and Compass School (理气派), which uses the Luo Pan compass to apply directional systems built on the Eight Trigrams (八卦), the 24 Mountains, and the Five Elements (五行). The goal of every assessment is the same: identify where Sheng Qi (生气, living energy) accumulates, where Sha Qi (煞气, killing energy) attacks, and what to do about both.

  • Do I need any prior knowledge?

    No. The course is built from first principles. It starts with what Qi is, how Yin and Yang behave in space, and what the Five Elements actually mean — before you ever pick up a Luo Pan. If you have studied BaZi or another Chinese metaphysics system, you will recognize the underlying engines (Ba Gua, Five Elements, Yin-Yang) and move faster, but no prerequisite is required.

  • Is this Form School or Compass School Feng Shui?

    Both. Form School and Compass School are not competing approaches — they are two halves of the classical tradition, and serious practitioners use them together. The course teaches Form School (the four celestial animals, mountain and water theory, landform assessment), then Compass School (the 24 Mountains, sitting and facing directions, the Luo Pan), and integrates them into a single six-step assessment method.

  • Does this course teach Flying Stars or Eight Mansions?

    This masterclass teaches the foundational layer that every Compass School system is built on — the Luo Pan, the Ba Gua, the 24 Mountains, the Five Elements, and the principles of sitting and facing direction. Specific systems like Xuan Kong Flying Stars (玄空飞星), Ba Zhai Eight Mansions (八宅), San He (三合), and Xuan Kong Da Gua (玄空大卦) are taught as separate dedicated courses in the academy. Take this masterclass first; the system courses will then make sense rather than feeling like memorisation.

  • Will I learn to use a Luo Pan?

    Yes — this is one of the few online Feng Shui courses that teaches the Luo Pan as a real instrument. The lessons cover the anatomy of the compass (Heaven Pool, needle, the 24-Mountain ring), how to take an accurate reading, how to compensate for magnetic deviation, and include practice exercises. By the end you will be able to take your own compass readings on a real building.

  • Is Feng Shui the same as the Western "Bagua-on-floorplan" method?

    No. The "lay the Bagua on top of your floorplan with the career corner near the front door" method is a 1980s Western adaptation associated with Black Sect / BTB Feng Shui. It ignores the actual compass direction of the building, which is the foundation of every classical Compass School system. This course teaches the classical tradition — the Luo Pan, real compass directions, and the systems that depend on them — not the Western shortcut.
