The Eight
Directions
There are eight directions. In Bhutanese
astrology four directions are categorized as “four good directions” or Zan-shi,
while the other falls under “four bad directions” known as Gnen-shi. This
direction are checked in Eight Parkha annually and taken heed of the same.
The four good
directions
1.
Nam-Men (Sky
Healer)
This is the best one. Good for
doctors. The direction where the Sky Healer can be found is the most favorable
for healing and medicine. This is the best direction and kind for a house to
face, and represents the life-generating force. Often this direction is
recommended for the location of the front door, when a new building is being
constructed. This very energizing direction indicates prosperity, excellent
business opportunities, plus nobility, statesmanship, and respect, in general.
It belongs to the element Wood.
2.
Sog-Tso (Healthy
Life)
This is the next best
direction. The direction of Vitality and Health is the second-best, and it is
traditional to sleep with one's head pointed in this direction. It is good for
healing and generating vitality. Its image is the thunderbolt (Dorje) or Vajra.
This, second-best direction
relates to health and safety matters. It bodes well for finding the best
teachers and doctors, and all noble and helpful people. It belongs to the
element Earth.
3.
Pal-Key
(Generating, Glorious)
The direction of Generating
Wealth is the third best direction, and it is best to buy or obtain things from
this direction, if possible. This is the third-best direction and is favorable
for longevity, good health, and all kinds of relationships, romantic and
otherwise – friends, lovers, co-workers. It also bring public and communication
skills. It belongs to the Metal element.
4.
Cha-Lön (Luck
Messenger)
The direction of the Auspicious
Messenger is the fourth best direction (least beneficial of the “good”
directions), and it is considered favorable to travel in this direction. This
is the fourth and lowest of the best directions and brings stability and calm,
as well as a certain amount of luck. It is recommended for areas where studies
or meditation take place, and enhances organizational and management skills.
The four bad
directions
1.
Nö-Pa (Evil
Spirit)
The direction of the Evil
Spirit is the least bad of the four bad directions. However, this direction
should be avoided, under threat of injury and accidents. This is the weakest or
least problematical of the four inauspicious forms and refers to loss of money,
quarreling, lawsuits, and, in general, obstacles to achieving one's goals.
2.
Dre-Gna (Five
Ghosts)
The direction of the Five
Demons or Five Ghosts is the second worst of the four bad directions, and
should be avoided, lest it expose one to various demonic influences.
This is the second worst of the
four inauspicious and refers to loss, the loss of friends, relatives, and also
to fire, accidents, and negative influences, in general. This includes backstabbing,
betrayal, arguments, and minor accidents.
3.
Dü-Chö
(Devil-Cutting)
The direction of the Devil Cutting
is the 3rd worst direction, meaning next to the worst one. It must be avoided
under threat of life and limb, and one has to protect one’s life force. This,
the next to the worst of the four inauspicious forms refers loss in
relationships, bad sexual experiences, and treachery, in general. Also:
lawsuits, physical injury, surgery, arguments, and legal problems. The element
is Water.
4.
Lu-Chey (Body
Destroying)
The direction of the Body
Destroying is the very worst direction and should be avoided at all costs. It
is said to threaten a particular part of the body depending upon the particular
Parkha involved. This is the worst of the four inauspicious and is considered
to be life threatening, promoting illness, incurable diseases, misfortune,
bankruptcy, robbery, and unproductive career, and other fateful occurrences.
The element is Metal.
