myfs_77438 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Dear Cecil:I was reading your document on Auspicious steps. Does this apply to the steps in a split level home also? This home I'm looking to buy is a split level home. The main floor contains the living room, dining room and kitchen. From the main floor living room, you walk 6 steps up to the bedrooms. Also from the main floor living room, you walk 6 steps down to the family room. From the family room, you walk another 6 steps down to the basement. There are total 18steps, nolandings. Is this considered auspicious or inauspicious? Also, if it's inauspicious stairs, whatwould the cure be?Thank you very much,Hoa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 2, 2004 Staff Share Posted July 2, 2004 Dear Hoa Luong,I reproduce the method for calculating the steps for the beneifit of some of the users, here:---- Start ---Introduction:1. In Feng Shui, there are two traditional methods of determining the number of steps.2. The first method is a 3 number combination. Where the first two steps are Auspicious but the last step is inauspicious.METHOD 1 - THE THREE-STEP CYCLE========3. Thus under the `Three-steps formula' step No. 1 (Auspicious), Step No. 2 (Inauspicious) while Step No. 3 is considered inauspicious. Usually this 3rd step is known as the `death' step.3.1 Thus:-Following this method, one should be able to work out the number of steps:- 3.2 Auspicious steps are:-1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 3.3 Inauspicious steps:-No. 3 is the third stepNo. 6 is the following third stepNo. 9 is again the following third stepNo. 12 is again the following third step...etc...METHOD 2 - THE FOUR-STEP CYCLE===============================4. However, Method 1 should be used in combination with Method 2 below:-4.1 What is the four-step cycle:-Step 1: AuspiciousStep 2: AuspiciousStep 3: InauspiciousStep 4: Inauspicious4.2 How to calculate under this method:Step 1 is AuspiciousStep 2 is AuspiciousStep 3 is inauspiciousStep 4 is also inauspicious4.3 Next 4 steps:-=================Step 5 is auspiciousStep 6 is auspiciousStep 7 is inauspicousStep 8 is inauspicious4.4 Next 4 steps:-=================Step 9 is auspiciousStep 10 is auspiciousStep 11 is inauspicousStep 12 is inauspicious4.5 Next 4 steps:-=================Step 13 is auspiciousStep 14 is auspiciousStep 16 is inauspicousStep 17 is inauspicious etc...4.6 One can do similar calculations for 17 or more steps.....5. After finding out the numbers for both Methods (1 and 2) we now derive the following sets of steps:-5.1 Under Method 1: The Three-Step Method:-1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 25, 265.2 Under Method 2: The Four-Step Method:-1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18, 21, 22, 25, 26Thus we have to eliminate the following numbers which are considered inauspicious in either one of the above methods:-Number 4 - inauspicious under method 2Number 6 - inauspicious under method 2Number 8 - inauspicious under method 2Number 11 - inauspicious under method 2 Number 16 - inauspicious under method 2Number 18 - inauspicious under method 1Number 19 - inauspicous under method 2Number 20 - inauspicous under method 25.3 Thus the final result are the following numbers:-1,2, 5, 10, 13, 14, 17, 22, 25, 26 etc...6. Steps LandingYes, the number of steps is important.Each step including the steps at landing is included as a count.--------- End ----------As mentioned above, 6 and 18 steps are inauspicious under Method 1.For an already built home, - frankly - what can one really do? Not much really.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 7/2/2004 8:10:41 AM, Anonymous wrote:Dear Cecil:I was reading your document onAuspicious steps.
