The 3 killings affliction, also known as san sha (三煞) in Mandarin, is an annual feng shui phenomenon that can potentially cause financial losses and other negative effects. While it may not receive as much attention as other afflictions, it is important to be cautious and take steps to manage it.
Understanding the 3 Killings
The 3 killings consist of three types of sha chi: robbery sha, disaster sha, and setbacks sha. The robbery sha is associated with financial loss and scams, while the disaster sha can affect health, and the setbacks sha can create obstacles in various endeavors.
Identifying the 3 Killings Sector
The 3 killings only occupy the four cardinal directions: north, south, east, and west. The exact location within these directions depends on the zodiac year. For example, in the year of the Rat, Dragon, or Monkey, the 3 killings will be in the south. Observing the table below simplifies the identification of the 3 killings location for each zodiac year:
Zodiac 3 Killings Angle Rat South 157.5° - 202.5° Ox East 67.5° - 112.5° Tiger North 337.5° - 22.5° Rabbit West 247.5° - 292.5° ...
Dealing with the 3 Killings
It is essential to avoid having the 3 killings behind you, as it is akin to sitting on it and inviting trouble. In addition, the sector where the 3 killings reside for the year should not undergo renovations or remodeling. Symbolic feng shui cures, such as the use of celestial guardians like Chi Lin, Fu Dog, and Pi Yao, can help protect against the negative effects of the 3 killings. An elemental approach can also be employed by weakening the corresponding element of the 3 killings' location.
It is crucial to remember that managing the 3 killings should not be done in isolation. The grand duke and the 5 yellow affliction should also be addressed.
Looking Ahead
In the coming years, the 3 killings will be in different cardinal directions. For example, in 2018, it will be in the north, in 2019 in the west, in 2020 in the south, and so on. It is important to stay aware and take necessary precautions to manage the 3 killings in each new year.
