Like any other year, the year 2021 carries both positive and negative energies. These energies do not stand still, they move and flow in different directions every year. Therefore, it is very important to know what energies we are dealing with in 2021. According to the Chinese calendar, the new year starts on February 12th, 2021, and will last until January 31th, 2022. In this article, I will share with you some very important information about three types of energy, the so-called “Feng Shui afflictions”, which can be very dangerous if you do not take them under control. I will also share with you how you can protect yourself and your family from these 3 types of energy in 2021!

These energies not only affect the energy of your house but also your whole life. However, the impact of these energies is only possible in the presence of certain circumstances. Therefore, if there are no circumstances – there is no affliction.

Although, from my own experience, I know that people often forget about the existence of these energies and thus become victims of their negative effects. But there are special ways of protection even for the forgetful ones which I will share with you in this article!

From the Feng Shui perspective, there are 3 main types of negative energy in 2021:

1. Tai Sui
2. Three Killings
3. The Five Yellow.

In this article, I’ll explain what are these three types of energy and how to deal with them.

3 Types Of Negative Energy In 2021

Tai Sui

Tai Sui is a very powerful flow of energy coming to Earth from Jupiter. In Feng Shui, we use the term “Tai Sui ” when we talk about the Ray of Jupiter that hits the Earth. This flow of energy is so powerful that it is difficult to withstand. Usually, when a person, recklessly, or astrologically falls under the blow of the Ray of Tai Sui, the most difficult karmic lessons get activated in his/her life. Moreover, this does not happen gradually, but quickly and definitely not pleasant. Most people can’t stand it, which often leads to tragedy.

To prevent the activation of negative events in our lives, we should never look in the direction of Tai Sui. It is best to sit with your back in the direction of Tai Sui. This position will “turn on” the positive side of Tai Sui – the support of Jupiter.

Tai Sui 2021

The Tai Sui of 2021 is represented by the General Yang Xin.

General Yang Xin’s presiding over the energies of 2021 suggests that while there will be efforts of reconciliation during the year, it will be difficult for world leaders to agree on many issues or to reach satisfactory compromises. In 2021, people continue to stand by their principles, but unfortunately, different groups and different factions will have differing convictions, and some of these will be irreconcilable.

There continues to be a risk of war, fighting, and struggle between nations, and on a micro-level within companies, organizations, and even within families. 2021 is a year when the Tai Sui badly needs to be appeased!

Tai Sui Location In 2021

The energy of Tai Sui goes from the sector of the Chinese zodiac animal of the year. In 2021, Tai Sui resides in the Northeast, the place of the Ox. This bestows on all those born under the sign of Ox his heavenly blessings and protection. In other words, all people born in the year of the Ox will experience the positive influence of Tai Sui – in 2021, Jupiter will support them.

However, the animal sign directly opposite to the Ox is the Sheep. Therefore, all people born in the year of the Sheep will experience the negative impact of Tai Sui. Therefore, if you were born in the year of the Sheep, be very careful – do not sit and do not look in the direction of the Northeast which is the Tai Sui direction in 2021.

Many Taoists also believe that it is not just the animal sign directly facing Tai Sui of the year that risks offending Tai Sui. All four animals that form a cross with the conflicting animal sign are at risk.

Therefore, in 2021, the cardinal animals of Sheep, Dog, Dragon, and Ox need to be mindful that they take steps to appease the Tai Sui. Especially the Sheep, which directly confronts the Tai Sui. As I already said, the Ox, being the animal of the year, is being backed by the Tai Sui. However, those born under the Ox sign are also advised to pay homage to the Tai Sui to ensure his support continues through the year.

How To Prevent Negative Impact Of Tai Sui Energy In 2021?

This information is suitable for all the Chinese zodiac signs.

1. Do not look in the direction of Tai Sui (Northeast-1: the degrees from 22.5 to 37.5 on the compass). When a person looks at Tai Sui, he (she) attracts difficulties and troubles. Instead, look in the opposite direction (Southwest) so that your back is in the direction of Tai Sui.

2. If the rear of the house is facing Tai Sui (Northeast), then it is not recommended to move in or move out of such a house, start making repairs or start new construction near the house. Possible consequences can be money loss, health problems or lawsuits. To avoid its influence you just need to wait one year when Tai Sui will leave the Northeast and then everything will be fine. Remember – Tai Sui should never be disturbed!

3. If you live in a house with its facade facing the Northeast, do not start any actions related to digging out a large amount of land from its lot (for example, the construction of another house – digging piles). Also, do not cut trees or renovate this sector!

4. To get Tai Sui onto your side, place a pair of Pi Yao in the Northeast sector of your house. Also, place the image of the year’s Tai Sui here.

5. Those born in years of the Sheep, Dog, Dragon, and Ox should carry the Tai Sui Amulet at all times!

The Three Killings

The Three Killings is the energy of the element that collides with the leading element of the current year. The Three Killings bring three kinds of losses: the loss of one’s good name; the loss of loved ones; the loss of wealth. The energy of the Three Killings cause illness, accidents, and lawsuits.

The Three Killings 2021

In 2021, the Three Killings enter the East, to be exact the degrees from 45 to 135 on the compass. Anyone whose house faces the East, or whose bedroom or office is located in the East will be affected by its negative energies. This is an important affliction to control because its effects can be devastatingly severe. It is very important to keep it under control!

How To Prevent The Negative Impact Of The Three Killings In 2021?

1. If the rear of the house is facing East it is not recommended to move in or move out of such a house in 2021. It’s also not recommended to make repairs and dig around such a house. Possible consequences: courts, loss of money, health problems.

2. Do not disturb the Three Killings! Do not make noise in the East sector of your house. Keep it clean and quiet!

3. Display the 3 Celestial Shields with Pi Yao, Fu Dog, and Chi Lin in the East corner of your house to suppress the Three Killings. The Pi Yao protects against loss of wealth, the Fu Dog protects against loss of loved ones, the Chi Lin protects against loss of relationships. 

4. Do not have your back to the East this year! This means you should not face the West even if it is a good direction for you according to your Kua number. Doing so could cause you to get “hit” by the Three Killings!

5. As the 3 Killings is in the EAST in 2021, this also directly affects all those born in years of the Rabbit and Rooster. These two signs are thus advised to carry the 3 Celestial Shields Amulet as much as possible. You can hang off your bag as a bag decoration, clip it onto your belt loops, or use it as a keychain.

The Five Yellow

The Five Yellow is the energy of the yearly Flying star 5 (Wu Wang). This star brings misfortune, illness, accidents, loss, and all kinds of troubles. It can bring severe illness, financial loss, and multiple obstacles to success. It also causes hostility and conflict of all kinds.

In 2021, the Five Yellow occupies the Southeast sector.

Who Will Suffer From The Five Yellow In 2020?

1. Those whose house faces Southeast.
2. Those born in the year of the Dragon and Snake.
3. Eldest daughter.
4. Those whose main door or bedroom is located in the Southeast.
5. Anyone occupying the Southeast room.
6. Anyone whose bedroom, office, or study is located in the Southeast.

How To Prevent Negative Impact Of The Five Yellow In 2021?

1. To suppress the negative effects of this toxic energy and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the house place the Five Element Pagoda with Tree of Life in the Southeast sector of your house. If you have a house that is more than one level, make sure to have the Five Element Pagoda on each floor!

2. Keep the Southeast quiet. Don’t disturb this sector! Do not renovate the Southeast in 2021! Any kind of demolition or digging work here is dangerous this year. It’s especially dangerous to drill floors, knock down walls, dig holes in the ground, engage in any kind of destructive work. If you have to do a renovation in the Southeast sector this year and can’t cancel it, make sure your Five Element Pagoda is prominently in place, and MAKE VERY SURE your renovation doesn’t start or end in the Southeast sector!

3. If your house is facing Southeast:

• place the Five Element Pagoda at the front of the house;
• keep the front lights of the house turned off or dimmed through the year.

4. All people who were born in the year of the Dragon and Snake should consider carrying the Five Element Pagoda With Tree Of Life Amulet throughout the year! For more recommendations read my article “Most Accurate Horoscope 2021: Predictions And Recommendations“.

Patanjali was a sage in ancient India who was considered the author of a number of Sanskrit works. He compiled a collection of aphorisms that serve as a guide for spiritual seekers. These writings have become known as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and are considered a foundational text of Yoga. In this article, we will share with you 33 wise Patanjali quotes to help you understand the yoga philosophy more deeply and attain inner peace.

33 Patanjali Quotes

#1

“Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and indifference toward the wicked.” ~ Patanjali

#2

“Every morning put your mind into your heart and stand in the presence of God all the day long.” ~ Patañjali

#3

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” ~ Patanjali

#4

“Here is, in truth, the whole secret of Yoga, the science of the soul. The active turnings, the strident vibrations, of selfishness, lust, and hate are to be stilled by meditation, by letting heart and mind dwell in the spiritual life, by lifting up the heart to the strong, silent life above, which rests in the stillness of eternal love, and needs no harsh vibration to convince it of true being.” ~ Patanjali

#5

“A mind free from all disturbances is yoga.” ~ Patanjali

#6

“Aversion is a form of bondage. We are tied to what we hate or fear. That is why, in our lives, the same problem, the same danger or difficulty, will present itself over and over again in various prospects, as long as we continue to resist or run away from it instead of examining it and solving it.” ~ Patanjali

#7

“There is always a light within us that is free from all sorrow and grief, no matter how much we may be experiencing suffering.” ~ Patanjali

#8

“The way to eliminate ignorance is through steady, focused discrimination between the observer and the world.” ~ Patanjali

#9

“Just as the pure crystal takes color from the object which is nearest to it, so the mind, when it is cleared of thought-waves, achieves sameness or identity with the object of its concentration.” ~ Patanjali

#10

“Asanas bring perfection in body, beauty in form, grace, strength, compactness, and the hardness and brilliance of a diamond.” ~ Patanjali

#11

“The longest journey begins with a single step.” ~ Patanjali

#12

“Yoga is the settling of the mind into silence. When the mind has settled, we are established in our essential nature, which is unbounded Consciousness. Our essential nature is usually overshadowed by the activity of the mind.” ~ Patanjali

#13

“This is true of the physical powers, and of those which dwell in the higher vestures. There must be, first, purity; as the blood must be pure, before one can attain physical health. But the absence of impurity is not in itself enough, else would many nerveless ascetics of the cloisters rank as high saints. There is needed, further, a positive fire of the will; a keen vital vigor for the physical powers, and something finer, purer, stronger, but of kindred essence, for the higher powers. The fire of genius is something more than a phrase, for there can be no genius without the celestial fire of the awakened spiritual will.” ~ Patanjali

#14

“If you can control the rising of the mind into ripples, you will experience yoga.” ~ Patanjali

#15

“The heart and mind can find peace and harmony by contemplating the transcendental nature of the true self as supreme effulgent life.” ~ Patanjali

#16

“In deep meditation, the flow of concentration is continuous like the flow of oil.” ~ Patanjali

#17

“When you are steadfast in your abstention of thoughts of harm directed toward yourself and others, all living creatures will cease to feel fear in your presence.” ~ Patanjali

#18

“The activities of the liberated soul transcend the pairs of opposites.” ~ Patanjali

#19

“The wisdom obtained in the higher states of consciousness is different from that obtained by inference and testimony as it refers to particulars.” ~ Patanjali

#20

“Success is nearest to those whose efforts are intense and sincere.” ~ Patanjali

Patanjali Quotes

#21

“Yoga takes you into the present moment, the only place where life exists.” ~ Patanjali

#22

“Sloth is the great enemy — the inspirer of cowardice, irresolution, self-pitying grief, and trivial, hairsplitting doubts. Sloth may also be a psychological cause of sickness. It is tempting to relax from our duties, take refuge in ill-health and hide under a nice warm blanket.” ~ Patanjali

#23

“The cause of suffering is that the unbounded Self is overshadowed by the world.” ~ Patanjali

#24

“Egotism is but the perversion of spiritual being. Ambition is the inversion of spiritual power. Passion is the distortion of love. The mortal is the limitation of the immortal. When these false images give place to true, then the spiritual man stands forth luminous, as the sun, when the clouds disperse.” ~ Patanjali

#25

“When the mind is clear, empty of memories and knowledge, things are seen exactly as they are.” ~ Patanjali

#26

“Life cannot be known by the “mind,” its secrets cannot be learned through the “mind.” The proof is, the ceaseless strife and contradiction of opinion among those who trust in the mind. Much less can the “mind” know itself, the more so, because it is pervaded by the illusion that it truly knows, truly is.” ~ Patanjali

#27

“When one is confirmed in celibacy, spiritual vigor is gained.” ~ Patanjali

“The Mind is not self-luminous, since it can be seen as an object. This is a further step toward overthrowing the tyranny of the “mind”: the psychic nature of emotion and mental measuring. This psychic self, the personality, claims to be absolute, asserting that life is for it and through it; it seeks to impose on the whole being of man its narrow, materialistic, faithless view of life and the universe; it would clip the wings of the soaring Soul. But the Soul dethrones the tyrant, by perceiving and steadily affirming that the psychic self is no true self at all, not self-luminous, but only an object of observation, watched by the serene eyes of the Spiritual Man.” ~ Patanjali

This is the Word, the Symbol, of the Master and Lord, the perfected Spiritual Man.” ~ Patanjali
