Eight Mansions (八宅)

Labels like ‘绝命’ are technical, not literal threats.

Definition

Eight Mansions sorts houses and people into East or West life groups, then labels eight directions as four favourable (Sheng Qi, Yan Nian, Tian Yi, Fu Wei) and four unfavourable. The map stays fixed unlike flying-star period changes.

How to Check

Compute house and personal ming gua with one rule set.
See whether favourable sectors hit bedrooms or only bathrooms.

Classical Basis

Eight Mansions Mirror is the usual anchor text.

Application

·Quick rental checks often start with bed direction.

Common Effects

·Opposite life groups in one couple need compromise.
·Conflicts with flying-star wealth sectors are common—pick a lead method.

Remedy Direction

Prioritise sleep comfort; use favourable sectors when practical.

Caveats & Debate

Some teachers minimise Eight Mansions in towers; others rely on it alone.
