Pila XUN have the strength of a tree, and gentleness of a flower. They are pliant and bending. Wood people are sociable, outgoing, community-minded, energetic, artistic, creative, innovative, and have a strong work commitment. "The penetrating energy of a single Yin line presses upward against two solid Yang lines. The energy is seemingly gentle and invisible, yet it is persistent, patient, and hard-working. Just as one who might fan others on a hot day, SUN work quietly and the breeze is felt by others." "Wind, Feng: moving air, breeze, gust; weather and its influence on mood and humor. Soft wood (living wood and plants; and the color green) belongs to the SE and is fed by water (moving water; and the colors black and/or blue). These elements and colors are good for clothing, automobiles, food, bedrooms, and to have around  the body.  Body part: buttocks. XUN can experience malfunctions of thighs, hips and buttocks when out of balance.  They tend to move around or travel a lot.   ~ Pa Chai or Eight Mansions School of Feng Shui:  "Eight Mansions Feng Shui's potency has been verified for almost 1500 years! It was one of the first few authentic systems of Feng Shui ever practiced by ancient Feng Shui Masters of old China. This system was known to be descended by the Great Master Yang Yun Sang during the Tang Dynasty and has lasted till today, where it is widely practiced throughout Asia."   Each person has four naturally positive (auspicious) directions and four negative (inauspicious) directions, based on their date and year of birth.  Using a formula, these directions are determined and are most useful in choosing an ideal sleeping and working directions.   Works best with A (North) behind him.

3.  Eight House Theory and the Derivation of the Stars by Lorraine Wilcox:

"Eight House Theory is based on the Qing Dynasty book Ba Zhai Ming Jing, translated as Eight House Bright Mirror. This book is said to have been passed down from Yang, Yunsong, a thousand years ago. While this claim is unlikely, the Eight House system is quite popular in Asia and the West.

The major defect of the Eight House system is that time is not taken into account (as does XUAN KONG). However, it is a traditional compass school method. While it is not the pinnacle of compass feng shui, it is still important for us to have an understanding."
