Part 1

Introductions and Ming Kua

Ba Zhai Feng Shui is also known as Eight House Feng Shui or Eight Mansion Feng Shui. Do not confuse Ba Zhai with Bazi; Bazi is another branch of Chinese philosophy while Ba Zhai Feng Shui is a form of traditional Feng Shui literature. The main difference between Ba Zhai and Xuan Kong flying star or Xuan Kong Da Kua is that Ba Zhai does not consider time dimension. It is a Feng Shui technique to select a beneficial direction or to avoid a catastrophic direction for each occupant in a property, base on their personal Ming Kua number. Enough say, this is a DIY blog. First you would need to determine your Ming Kua. You can skip to the Ming Kua calculator if you do not wish to know how to determine your Ming Kua manually. Here is how you can apply them.

Formulae for Ming Kua

For Dude

Example, Thomas was born in 1982 under the year of the Dog. His Ming Kua will be number 9.

Here is how we work it out;

The common factor for subtraction is 11 and therefore,

For Lady



Example, Jane was born in 1982 under the year of the Dog. Her Ming Kua will be number 6.

The calculation remains much the same with a minor difference;



The common factor for addition is 4 and therefore;



Additional things to take note when calculating of Ming Kua
The number 5 does not resemble any trigram in Ba Zhai Feng Shui. Therefore, for those whose Ming Kua is number 5 have to take note of the following change.

For Male, the Ming Kua will be replaced by 2.
For Female, the Ming Kua will be replaced by 8.

The Ming Kua number is calculated based on the Chinese Solar Calendar. The Chinese start the New Year on the 4th or 5th day of February. I have embedded a Solar Calendar gadget on the site bar. For those who are born somewhere in between the January to February, do not forget to check your actual birth year base on the Chinese Solar Calendar.

I read in many texts where the author will compile a dozen list of Ming Kua for both genders. There is no need to compile a list of Ming Kua; you just need to remember that Ming Kua is a descending series for male and ascending series for female. Refer to the table below;

For a quick calculation of your Ming Kua, if you do not know your time of birth, don't bother too much unless you are born somewhere between the end of January to the beginning of February.

Feng Shui Your Bedroom – The Ultimate Feng Shui Bediology

The Ultimate Feng Shui Bediology

Part 1

How to choose a Feng Shui Bed

The title say it all, through out my years learning and studying on the topic of Feng Shui, I read many books and many websites that provide Feng Shui tips on creating the ultimate bedroom that will turbo charge your daily life and ultimately your destiny. In this article, I am just compiling ‘Tips’ which I have come across. I have made sure that the information provided here do not overlapped each other so that you could read with ease. I would like to stress out, for the Feng Shui skeptics, many of the tips are not superstitious and is logical and make common sense. Also for the Feng Shui fans, do not over reacting to every piece of tips. That is bad Feng Shui. The most important thing to bear in mind is to feel comfortable with your arrangement.

Feng Shui Tips for Purchasing a Bed (General)

Feng Shui had become technical and has a complete set of theories on purchasing a new bed or re designing your bed. A ‘good looking’ and well-balanced bed is very important in creating a perfect Feng Shui bedroom. Good mattress, solid headboard and high quality sheets from natural fibers are also very important in creating harmonious Feng Shui energy.

Headboard of Bed

While you are drifting off to sleep, your body is going intro an extra busy energy repair work on many levels. Subconsciously, your head needs good backing, protection and support, just like your back needs it when you are seating in a chair for extended period of time. Excellent Feng Shui headboards are the ones that are solid and made from wood, or the upholstered ones, as they have a very good combination of solid, but also gentle and supporting Feng Shui energy for you and your bedroom. Avoid rods or headboards that split in the middle.

Mattress of Bed

There is a variety of mattresses on the market, choose wisely and invest in the one that will promote best sleep and relaxation. The better you sleep at night, the better your health during the day, this is simple. Be mindful of good Feng Shui and do not buy used mattresses - you never know what energy they have accumulated from previous owners.

Height of Bed

To allow for a balanced Feng Shui energy flow under the bed you need to have your bed at a reasonable height above the floor level. Generally, the beds that have built-in storage drawers underneath to help you with storage solutions are considered bad Feng Shui beds because the energy needs to circulate around your body when you sleep, which is not possible if the space underneath the bed is blocked.

An appropriate bed should have legs, ideally on each corner, elevating it above the floor. (Okay, I like beds with legs because it makes my area cleaning a lot easier.)

Size of the bed

A Queen bed is highly recommended over a King or California King Size bed for two reasons. A King size bed leaves no room for upgrading. Since you have already reached the maximum level, the only way to move is downward, so your next bed might be to move to a single bed. Additionally, a King size mattress typically rests on two box springs, which can suggest a separation between partners who sleep in the bed together.

Footboard of Bed

Footboards are not necessary. Men typically do not like footboards; some say it feels like being in a coffin. If you do wish to have a footboard, it should be no higher than the mattress. A taller footboard can limit your travel opportunities.

Styles of Bed

Murphy beds, futons and day beds provide a temporary feeling, and therefore recommended only for use in guest rooms or hotel.

Price of Bed

The price of the bed is not always a reflection of good Feng Shui. One of my clients recently purchased a $20,000 bed, only to discover it provided very poor Feng Shui and could be a contributing factor in a troubled relationship.

Good Feng Shui

So now, we know what to look for in a bed, there are trendy beds that are fashionable or desirable but their harmful effects are significant. These beds are good for the motel or hotel where customers are looking for fun. They are not good for home and bed Feng Shui.

Avoid Canopy bed

It cause insomnia, depression and illness.

Avoid Waterbed

It resemble poor personal relationship and lack of support.

Avoid Mirrored bed

It means lack of inspiration.

Avoid Bed craved with animal sculptures

It will create side effects such as mind fatigue and infertility.

Avoid Heart-shaped bed

This kind of bed despite popular believe to be a romantic bed but it will cause depression.

Avoid Round bed

Well, the Chinese love to have their meals together in round table as it symbolize unity but as concerning to bed, it will cause personal relationship problems.

Avoid Mechanical bed

These means to those kind of bed that will that rotates, rocks and rolls. It causes disagreement and hostility.

‘Ignoring Feng Shui’s bed advice, people who sleep in these kinds of beds will face their decline in health, wealth and love.’ (Wow, the message sounds a bit too harsh for us and the bed merchants.)

After short-listing all the possible candidates among the beds based on Feng Shui principles, we need to select the most qualifying candidates, using our intuition. Below is an article that I like very much.

Sleeping on a bed you does not love?

This may sound like a strange statement, especially in relation to what most people think of as an "inanimate" object - one's bed. The truth is, if you don't like your bed...if you aren't comfortable with the way the mattress feels, or the design of your bed isn't appealing to you, then you aren't going to derive the greatest benefits from your bed.

Ask yourself these simple questions:

Is my bed inviting?

Do I feel rested after a night spent in my bed?

Do I appreciate the energy that my bed provides me?

Is my health suffering because of lack of sleep?

Bottom line is that you need to love your bed for best Feng Shui results! If you do not receive the rest and rejuvenation, you need to receive from your bed...if your bed is old and "tired" of supporting you, consider purchasing a new one! Remember, we spent 40% of our lives on the bed! Avoid sleeping on a bed that has "energetic" accumulations from the past or other people. This may also sound a bit strange at first, but give me a chance to explain. Let us suppose for a moment that you have had your bed for a while...say for 5 - 7 years. Let us say that during that time, you had an intimate relationship with a lover that did not work out. If you made love, with this person in your bed and now you are suffering from the hurt and pain of that broken relationship, your bed is partly responsible for reminding you of that pain. It could even be the reason why you have not been able to move forward in your love life. What you may not realize is this - the bed is "holding" the energy of this broken relationship...and it is having an effect on you, whether you are aware of it or not! The same principle applies to use beds because of the energies of previous owners that still linger within them. It is a big Feng Shui mistake to purchase a bed that previously owned by somebody and even though if you know the person. Give yourself a fresh start!

And Finally Some Basic Taboos on Bed

Yah first is of course the bed itself. We spend at least 40% of the time in the bed. (Some people even spend 100% of the time in bed.) Here the list;

The mattress is to be replace after every 3 to 5 years regardless of its condition. I do not think this is any super scientific Feng Shui. The fact is every manufacturer manufactures their mattress with a life span of 3 years.

Similarly, all pillows and blankets must also replace after 3 to 5 years of use.

The bed must locate where there is good circulation of air and where sunlight shines in during the day. I suppose the sunlight is helping us to kill the germs and bacterial.

Avoid placing the bed on the western part where it will catch the rays of the setting sun.

Do not store any carton box, newspaper, plastic bags or suitcase under the bed. Simply just, do not place anything under the bed. It is untidy for your mommy to do the cleaning.

Similarity, do not tuck any bills, photos or document under the mattress.

Do not fix any overhead light immediately over the bed. Move the bed to the side or fix them on the wall instead.

All permanent occupant of a household must have a permanent bed at a fixed location. Sleeping on foldable bed or mattress on the floor is not encouraged. Well, of course everyone loves to have his or her own bed.

Do not cover the bed with a blanket immediately after rising. Leave it uncovered for at least 30 minutes each time before making the bed.

Feng Shui Trader's reaction to Penn and Teller's Feng Shui Bullshit !!!

Feng Shui Trader's reaction to Penn and Teller's Feng Shui Bullshit !!!

Feng Shui Trader decided to blog about an American reality TV show, that in one episode addressing on the topic of Feng Shui. Penn and Teller host this show in 2003, they called it the ‘Penn and Teller: Bullshit!’ The show aimed to debunk pseudoscientific ideas, supernatural beliefs, woo-woo, popular fads and misconceptions, and often from a libertarian point of view. Like most of ‘Bullshit’ episodes, Feng Shui is a total bullshit. I have loved the show so much and embedded them below from YouTube on trader’s blog. There were three parts in it; I have only embedded two parts as the last part is just describing the consumptions of water by the humans.

Part 1 of 2

Part 2 of 2

Eight House Theory Feng Shui featured in the Video (Ba Zhai Feng Shui) or Maybe Ming Kua 9 Qi Feng Shui
During the earlier part of the video, Kartar mentioned to her client that she (client) belong to the ‘West’ type people and advised her to sleep head west while Milan advised the same client to sleep head south. P&T made no second attempt to understand the basics principle of Feng Shui and took the advantage to comment on the inconsistencies of Feng Shui.

In the theory and practices of Ba Zhai Feng Shui, the grouping (East or West) or the ‘Kua’ number of a person is determined by his or hers date of birth. There are four auspicious and four inauspicious directions for each type of people. There are no such things as the most auspicious directions, as most of the time, there are many physical constraints created from the premise itself. It will be beneficial to the client as long as she is sleeping heading to any one of the four auspicious directions. There is one common consideration, where the grouping of the husband and wife is different. Then, they will need to integrate both the directions of the early and later trigrams to select their appropriate heading direction. Simply, there is more then one auspicious direction for an individual.

Xuan Kong Feng Shui featured in the Video
P&T commented that the three Feng Shui consultants, each have different opinions about the positions and color of the couches. The simple answer to the inconsistencies is that each of the consultants had a different opinion of the facing directions of the house, which is the most critical factor in eradicating the Feng Shui’s floor plan. There is another consideration, which may affect the calculations process. All three consultants might have come to same facing directions; however, the actual reading in degree of the facing direction lies in the middle of two sectors on the compass and the two sectors differs in polarity. An alternate solution to the problem is to apply substitution stars. Usually, both the original floor plan and the modified floor plan are draft out simultaneously. The Feng Shui people will relates both floor plans with the client to determine the more ‘accurate’ floor plan. The video could be edited, cut or the client providing different information to different consultant. Milan and David might have received the same piece of information from the client while what Kartar heard was of different story.

Omg lolz Mistakes
One of the commandments of Feng Shui is never overdoing it. Every adjustment made to the arrangement of the house must remain within the comfort zone of the family. In the video, David had reallocated the positions and orientations of the couches, which leave a narrow walkway for the client and her family. Well, we cannot blame P&T the duo scrooges who are fame for finding faults. Maybe David should be more cautious and aware of whom he is dealing with next time.

So if Feng Shui is really a Science?
In the show, P&T (Penn and Teller) efforts seem to direct onto distinguishing the differences between Science and Art. Feng Shui Trader says; Feng Shui is an Art but it cannot be completely detached away from Science. The methodology of Feng Shui’s is a huge compilation of actual occurrences observed by the ancient Chinese sage. They will predict the likely outcome base on experiences and occurrences. Every scientific or mathematical theory in the world is also derived in a much similar fashion. I could still remember the dreadful statistics lessons during my collage days.

I will tag Feng Shui along with science thru an analogy (mimicking what Mr. David Cho had done in the video), Now we all knew a very important concept of Feng Shui, which is the intangible Yin and Yang. Suppose, I told you that there were two people in a room which one person being a male. I asked you to predict the gender of the other person and my hint was, that person was of a different gender. I suppose you can predict the gender of the other fellow without much difficulty after you have worked out the solution, base on super scientific theories and mathematical calculations. Well, in a similar fashion, Feng Shui Masters are also doing that. They predicted that in this world that we live in, it is either Yin or Yang so their answers will most likely be a female. (Although people like Chris Crocker and Bruno does exist)

Conclusions
There is possibility that the video altered and dubbed to serve the purpose of the show. It is insufficient to draw any conclusions to proof that Feng Shui is bullshit. My personally preference and views about the Feng Shui guys in the video is that I like Kartar very much and have read on her Feng Shui book, which I am going to share further insight. She would be ideal as a personnel and professional Feng Shui consultant whom you can relate with. Milan trends to oversell Feng Shui. David made some mistakes and the mistakes amplified by P&T.

Here below is the official website of the three guests Feng Shui consultants from the video.

The Lucky Frog of the Chinese

The Lucky Frog of the Chinese

The Money Frog (look more like a toad) is the equivalent of the Japanese Maneki Neko Cat. This frog also known as the three legged toad or “Chan Chu” and is probably the most auspicious symbol of wealth and fortune. Catch this frog on every mid autumn festival, the people who see a toad while gazing on the moon during the festive season will receive good news of increased wealth or monetary gain. The Money Frog is used for attracting wealth and abundance and can often be seen near cash registers, receptions, managers' desk and offices in Asian countries.

Legend of the Lucky Frog

According to legend, the frog and Liu Hai became buddies. Liu Hai kept the frog as a pet and would bring the frog with him wherever he goes. Often, the frog is depicted biting a golden Chinese coin in its mouth. This is probably due to the legend, where Liu Hai had to lure the frog out from the house or water well every time with a coin. There are also 7 dots on it back, depicting the Ursa Major (Great North Pole 7 Stars, check them out in Google Earth)

In paintings or portraits, Liu Hai is often shown as him standing on the toad and playing with gold coins within his hands. His appearance in the painting is of happiness and friendliness, and a statue of him with the three legged toad is a very powerful amulet for attracting prosperity.

Liu Hai and the Frog

Here are some methods where you can also enjoy the benefits of owning Money Frogs in your premise.

The Chinese always love the number 6 and 9 (come on, please don’t think of position 69…) and they kept 6 and 9 fishes in their aquariums, now you can also place 9 Money frogs in your living space discreetly and naturally. Do not over doing it by dedicating each frog to an altar; the frog is famous for playing hide and seeks with its owner. Make sure each frog is facing to the 8 different cardinal directions of the compass. (One faces east, one face west, etc.) The last frog is place near the main door facing inward. Having 3 frogs instead of 6 or 9 is an alternate method as the frog is known to have 3 legs, by adding up the legs of the 3 frogs, we have 9 legs which is good.

Place two Money Frogs: One inside your front door facing inwards symbolizes money coming in to your home of business and the other facing outward to collect the money. The frog can be place directly on the ground.

For the Feng Shui enthusiastic, place the money frog it in the wealth sector (South East) of your living room or office to enjoy your windfall luck.

Please note that, don’t suffocate your frogs by placing them in toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, garage, storerooms or bedrooms. You love your pets, don’t you?

Haunting Environment and Feng Shui

Article by Ms Ching

A haunted house is believed to be dark, old and dilapidated with unnatural forces or ‘Ghost’. In Feng Shui point of view, a haunted house is cause by accumulating of negative forces that developed through time with the absence of ‘yang’ energy. Most of time, the negatives forces developed are cause by the negligence of human.

I am sharing my personal ghostly encounter several years ago when spending a weekend in a friend’s apartment. My friend with his wife was married for a year before they acquired an apartment in Tanglin Halt. During that time, they were planning for kids and they bought a four-room apartment. They planned to rent a room to foreign students, save a room later for their kids and occupied the master bedroom themselves. Soon, the empty rooms were made into storerooms, as they could not find the appropriate tenant. They dump whatever that is unsightly into these rooms and left these rooms unattended beside area cleaning. They will leave the windows, doors and the curtains of the unoccupied rooms shut when they leave house for work. These rooms were void for a year after they moved it to the apartment.

I was the first guest to spend a weekend in these rooms. There was only one room with a bed and my friend offered me to that room. I decided not to bother about the opening the windows as I simply prefer the comfort of an air conditioner. I spend the first night without much annoyance accepts that I could hear a very mild voice coming from the other empty room that resembles a human tone. The next morning, I took a little time to speak about the anonymous voice with my friend. He was surprised, as they did not encounter anything of this sort for the past one year. I drop the subject as his wife is getting very skeptical and I excused myself that I am just hearing things due to tiredness.

The second night spends in the guestroom cause a traumatic experience for me. The same anonymous voice that I heard during the previous night became louder and as if it was just whispering beside my ears. I felt a sudden force that wanted to cover and rolled me over with the mattress. I exerted all my strength to press down the mattress with my left hand while trying very hard to sit up. The force acting against me was getting stronger and I was curled up by the mattress like a victim trapped by a python’s coil. This time I wanted to scream for my friend’s attention but was totally immobilized and I could still hear the voice beside my ear, though I could not make up the words. I was traumatized and have forgotten the sutra, which I used to recite when I was meditating. I was picturing the image of Bodhisattva Guan Yin and Guan Yu in my mind, chanting in mind the only sentence that I could remember. I feel the pressure acting upon me loosen but still the mattress trapped me. This time, I gain more concentrations and chant a complete Buddhist sutra before I was release and thrown to the floor from the bed. After I catch my equilibrium, I had decided not to alarm my friend during the night. I went into the hall, picture the image of Bodhisattva Guan Yin and Guan Yu in fiery fire aura, and quietly chant a Buddhist sutra for forty nine times before I felt asleep on the sofa. If I have not been wrong, I was trapped for about 45 minutes.

I spoke about this incident to my friend and his wife in the next morning. This time, they were convinced by my story as they have heard some sound produced when I was struggling to break free from the entrapment. My friend knew that I was a Feng Shui enthusiastic asked me if this was due to bad Feng Shui. My responds was; ‘yes’. According to my understanding in terms of Feng Shui, they have created a friendly environment that attracts ‘unwanted guest’ over the year. He further prom me if I knew how to perform an exorcism. I told him that I do not know exorcism and advise them to hire a Taoist exorcist.



Zhang Dao Ling, A Taoist Exorcism Master

However, during the day, I did visit the room again together with them and adjusted the furniture and settings. We did a lot of trashing; we threw away all the old clothing, mirrors, bags, etc. My friend even had a Japanese cutlery knife box set in the room and we threw them away as well. These triangular resembling sharp edge items were extremely negative to keep inside a room. There were many dead insects hidden in behind the cupboards, we did a lot of pest busting also. We tear down the curtains and open the windows wide allowing sunlight to entry. I had told them to leave it open for 24 hours a day allowing ‘Qi’ to circulate, the wife became skeptical as she said it would attract more dust. My friend responded to her that unless she would like to attract something else. After we tidy up the rooms, I believe that the unwanted guest will leave the place eventually. However, I suspected that what we have done to destroy a friendly environment will agitated the spirit and I gave my friend two little post card which have being empowered as a gift. The first post card has Zhong Kui’s picture with trigrams and the second post card has the Ksitigabha Bodhisattva sutra written on it in Chinese. I asked them to display them beside the bed when sleeping. Two months later, I received a call from my friend. He told me that during the night, they heard noises created from banging on the furniture from the other rooms but they did not experience anything physically. They were scared and literally read out the Ksitigabha Bodhisattva sutra from the postcard in mandarin. The ordeal lasted for two month and had ended.

Xuan Kong Feng Shui Part 15 - The Unconditional Reactions of Stars

Xuan Kong Flying Star Feng Shui free tutorials

Part 15
Interpreting the number combinations in flying star chart
Finally we are ready to read the star charts. The method discuss here is mainly on the interactions among the water, mountain and ruling stars in each palace. It is also when we study the difference between the water and mountain stars. I would like to present the technique to recognize the differences between the stars. Refer to the diagram below for pictorial explanations.



The possible interactions between the three stars in each palace are;

The water star reacts with the mountain star.
The mountain star reacts with the water Star.
The water star reacts with the ruling star.
The ruling star reacts with the water star.
The mountain star reacts with the ruling star.
The ruling star reacts with the mountain star.

Of the six possible reactions, you might be asking what is the difference between reaction 1 is and reaction 2. The list could be abundant but the general concept is that the water star denotes the wealth factors while the mountain star denotes domestic factors. Just to list some more examples of affiliations, the water star can also mean careers or opportunities while the mountain star can represent health and human harmony. In reaction 1, our primary concern is on domestic affairs. The mountain star is the host and the water star is the guest. The guest can support the host, destroy the host or ignore the host. In reaction 2, the opposite is true. Based on the example above, we will be analyzing the possible results base on the timeliness of the stars and the cycles of five elements.



First we identified the favorable and unfavorable stars base on the current age. We are in age 8 (2004-2023); the timely stars will be 1, 6, 8 and 9. The untimely stars for period 8 are 2,3,4,5 and 7. In the above example, the water star is the only star deem as favorable.

Secondly, we check for any chart formations as described in earlier sections. We have identified this combination as the one of the Combinations of 3 (1, 4, and 7), which is excellent, however it is untimely. The only star that is timely is the water star no.1. As this is a prosperous combination, it did not have much ill effects even though it is untimely. It will be timely again and perform it best after February 2064.

Now we check for the possible reactions base on the production cycle and destroying cycle of the five elements.

Mountain Star
1. The water star no.1 supports mountain stars no.4. (Water produces Wood)
2. The ruling star no.7 destroys mountain star no.4. (Metal destroy Wood)
Analyzing the interactions between the stars, star no.4 is neutral with both supporters and destroyer. However star no.4 is untimely thus it is generally not good indications for health or domestic related issues.

Water Star
3. The mountain star no.4 ignores water star no.1. (No direct reaction)
4. The ruling star no.7 supports water star no.1. (Metal produces Water)
This is a good sign as the water star no.1 is timely with supporters. This will be a good combination for financial related issues.

Ruling Star
5. The water star no.1 ignores ruling star no. 7. (No direct reaction)
6. The mountain star no. 4 ignores ruling star no. 7. (No direct reaction)
The ruling star no.7 is untimely and unfavorable however it does not have any supporters to boost its strength.

Triggers
The combinations of these numbers in flying star chart tells us information and stories, we still need to identify the 'triggers' to activate (or deactivate) the effects. In later sections, the triggers will be cover in more details. Hope in this section, you could have a understanding on the menaing of the stars in each palace.

You might have guessed by now, there will be 81 possible combinations to the reactions of stars. However, there are practically lesser than 81 combinations, as some combinations do not make any differences in their order. E.g. Combination 2 – 5 and 5 – 2, both are as bad. I am still compiling an E-book to describe more in depths on each of the combinations.

Meanwhile, you can download the free references on the 81 Possible Combinations of Flying Star with the courtesy of heluo.nl from the external link below; (It is malware and virus free)

Xuan Kong Feng Shui Part 13 - The Five Elements

Xuan Kong Flying Star Feng Shui free tutorials

Part 13
Understand the Five Elements in Xuan Kong Feng Shui.
The ancient Taoist master had studied the occurrences of all nature for few hundreds decade. They have narrowed down the principle cosmic forces that eradicate this phenomenon into 3 cycles and channel by 5 elements. The 5 elements are Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth, the 3 cycles namely the Sheng, Ke and Wu cycle. Practitioners adopt these chains of cycles as an analogy to perform remedies and cures to unfavorable situations or to amplify a favorable situation.

The most important cycles are the Sheng (Production) and Ke (Destroying) Cycle. When studying the interactions between these elements and their effects in your property. Some practitioner only considered the interaction of these two cycles. The Wu (Controlling) cycles is mainly adopted as alternate approach to remedy or enhance on a particular situation. Now you need to remember in heart the flow of these three cycles as they will come in handy during later parts. Do not fret out as I will summarize a technique to memorize them. You will only need to memorize the production cycle.

‘Kuo Jue’ (Formulae) of the production cycle
When we burn in Woods, this will produce more Fire.
With the burning, it produces ashes, thus building the Earth.
The Earth is the ground for the production of Metal.
When the metal nourish, it will liquefied into Water.
Water is the essential life source for more Woods.
The cycle will repeat itself again and again.

The formula is illustrated into a diagram below;



Below is a diagram showing the destroying cycle. You only need to remember the activity between fire and water and take notes on how the additional set of arrows flow.



The third diagram below describe the controlling cycle. Notice that the arrows are pointing in anti clockwise direction.



Combining the three diagrams into one, you will recognize patterns. This will help to memorize all the cycles. Refer to the combine diagram as below;



Summary

Production cycle is the cycle that gives life.
Wood produces Fire.
Fire produces Earth.
Earth produces Metal.
Metal produces Water.
