While these are common Feng Shui tips and practices for wealth, they only scratch the surface of what Feng Shui wealth is really about.

Feng Shui Masters understand this. On top of what you already know, they know how to create powerful Feng Shui setups to attract wealth. A few of the setup include the “Water Dragon” setup and the “Five Ghost Carrying Wealth” setup.

This begs the questions, which a reader asked me: “If Feng Shui Masters know all about Feng Shui for wealth, how come they are not rich?” 

In this article, I will tell you some reasons why Feng Shui Masters are not wealthy using what I know about Bazi.

Would you be surprised to know that not all Feng Shui Masters are seeking wealth? Although we live in the age of capitalism, there are still plenty of people who doesn’t see money and wealth as everything. (Which is a good thing.)

Some masters that I know are trying to get to the bottom of this vast knowledge. Some are working to dispel Feng Shui myths and misconceptions. Some just want to share, practice, and spread this knowledge.

But what about those who ARE seeking wealth? Wouldn’t they construct the perfect Feng Shui wealth setup for themselves? How come they’re not rich? Does Feng Shui not work?

You’ll get all these answers in the rest of this article. For now, don’t forget that Feng Shui is only one-third of the formula. There’s also Human Luck and Heaven Luck.

In one of the Bazi classes I took, I learned why some people are driven or motivated to acquire wealth. That’s because there’s a “wealth star” inside the birth time pillar in their Bazi chart.

These are the individuals who won’t be jealous of others who are driving Ferrari’s or living in mansions. Instead, they would contemplate on how to get to the same level as their wealthier counterparts.

So here’s a start. That “wealth” star may not be present in some Feng Shui Masters. They are simply not looking to acquire wealth.

4 Feng Shui Masters to Know in Hong Kong

Feng shui is Chinese for “wind and water”. The term refers to geomancy, but encompasses geography, astronomy, astrology and meteorology. The theory stems from a holistic philosophy that views total connectivity of everything in this universe — from the date and time of your birth to the orientation of space which affects the flow of your qi (electromagnetic energy).

Call it crazy superstition, but it’s a known fact that reputable banks, corporations, celebrities and the super rich court feng shui masters in Hong Kong. Besides being interior designers of your qi, they’re career consultants, marriage counsellors and therapists, often invited to give a new name for a baby or an adult who wants a new beginning, and flown around to check on new properties. Here are some really awesome feng shui sifus to consult on your upcoming life plans.

Thierry Chow

With a shaved scalp and dyed hair, Thierry Chow doesn’t look like your typical feng shui master. But being the daughter of Master Chow Hon Ming, one of Hong Kong’s most respected feng shui maestros, she’s learned from the best. After returning to Hong Kong with a degree in Applied Illustration from Toronto, she was persuaded by her father to study the family craft in 2011. She’s since founded TRE, a contemporary feng shui concept that combines ancient metaphysical traditions with modern aesthetics. While most practitioners are haphazardly integrating feng shui into the design, Chow is turning the practice on its head.

“TRE is my creative expression of how feng shui encompasses both the emotional and the physical and can be used in all aspects of design, including interiors and fashion,” she says.

A regular at fashion events around town, Chow wants people to know that feng shui is not about magic or superstition — it’s a creative approach to respecting and understanding how our environment influences our minds. She’s coming out with her own line of red pockets for Chinese New Year, and will be launching a  feng shui-related fashion blog soon. 

Louisa Cheung (Yunwenzi) 

Growing up in a religious family with a father who sells crystals, Louisa Cheung — also known as Yunwenzi or Master Cloud — started her spiritual practice with her guru when she was just 10 years old. She always knew she was going to grow up and pursue this path, and only studied finance at the University of Sydney to prepare herself for her own feng shui business. Her notable clients include Credit Suisse and Vivienne West wood. She also happens to be BFFs with Cantopop diva Sandy Lam.

She’s written about feng shui for Hong Kong fashion mags such as Bazaar, Jessica, ELLE and Marie Claire, as well as numerous regional publications, and is a regular columnist for More and Cosmopolitan. Her speciality is Qimen Dunjia (‘strange portals’; hidden jia — the first of the ten Celestial Stems, considered the most sacred in this method). Originally devised to help form military strategy in ancient China, this skill set is applied to crime-solving, business and personal divination in relation to time and space.

“[Qimen Dunjia] is only a tool: think of it as code numbers, and me as a military strategist for your life,” Cheung explained. “Using a specific formula, I create a new arrangement of the qi (electromagnetic field) in your home that’s ideal for you.”

 Chow Hon Ming

With over three decades of experience, Master Chow Hon Ming boasts most major banks as clients, and has been invited to assess private and corporate properties in Singapore, Taiwan, China. His reach goes as far as France, once commissioned by a French aristocrat. “Paris has good feng shui with the Seine,” the expert remarks.

Besides feng shui, palm and face reading, Master Chow is also a specialist in ancient Chinese divination methods such as the I Ching and his personal favourite, Tieban Shensu (“Iron Plate Divine Calculations”), which he’s trying to systematise in order to teach his twin children, Jacky and Thierry Chow.

Though gentle and soft-spoken, Master Chow is practically psychic, stunning clients with his predictions and statements made right after the initial meeting with no prior information exchange, except for birth times. Jacky, twin brother of the aforementioned Thierry, is also apprenticing with his father. His expertise lies in calculations — a very handy skillset, as there are lots of mathematics involved in feng shui. The Chow clan is the ultimate trifecta in Hong Kong’s metaphysical community.
