Castle Gate Feng Shui

Castle Gate is usually applied when a Yin/Yang Zhai is surrounded in 3 sides (mountain/building) and there is 1 gap/opening that water can be seen.

The following 2 table is the Castle Gate for Yang houses in Period 7 (and only works in Period 7) and Period 8 (and only works in Period 8). If a house with the above condition (surrounded in 3 sides but with a gap/opening with the present of water) fits into the Castle Gate then it will be auspicious (for that period only), and the occupants may need to move out from that house after that period has elapsed. If the house cannot use Castle Gate, then we just use the normal 'mountain-facing flying star' to audit.

Note: But there appears to be modern application where Feng Shui practitioners would simply place water to the 'Cheng Men' sector in a house to tap on wealth luck.
