24 Mountains in Feng Shui refer to the four cardinal and four secondary directions around the compass sub-divided into three sectors each. As an example South1, South2 and South3 (S1, S2, S3.)
Feng Shui Software for the Mac Version 1.6.3 (Big Sur and M1 Support) Twenty-Four Mountains simplifies the creation of the Ba Zhai and Flying Star charts for classically trained feng shui practitioners. Nowadays, the 24 mountain less calculation and time spent working everything out as you can buy layover charts for property floor plans and in our Academy of Feng Shui Software, the formula is all built in to the software and everything is worked out instantly which makes life a lot easier than when a Feng Shui Master would have to use a Luo Pan to calculate this.
Each of these sectors covers 15o on the compass (S1=157.6 o-172.5 o; S2=172.6 o-187.5 o and S3=187.6 o-202.5 o.)
In the central secondary directions NW2, NE2, SE2 and SW2 the trigram of the area is added; Qian-Senior Male-Metal (NW), Gen-Youngest Son-Earth (NE), Xun-Eldest Daughter-Wood (SE) and Kun-Senior Female-Earth (SW.) These are the only trigrams used in 24 Mountains.
The central cardinal directions house the Chinese astrological animals of the location. N2 (Zi-Rat), E2 (Mao-Rabbit), S2 (Wu-Horse) and W2 (You-Rooster.)
On either side of the cardinal directions N1, N3, E1, E3, S1, S3, W1 and W3 the Yang and Yin variants of the Five Elements reside.
Direction | Name | Yin or Yang | Element |
N1 | Ren | Yang | Water |
N3 | Gui | Yin | Water |
E1 | Jia | Yang | Wood |
E3 | Yi | Yin | Wood |
S1 | Bing | Yang | Fire |
S3 | Ding | Yin | Fire |
W1 | Geng | Yang | Metal |
W3 | Xin | Yin | Metal |
Finally, on either side of the secondary directions NW1, NW3, NE1, NE3, SE1, SE3, SW1 and SW3 the remaining astrological animals take their rightful places.
Direction | Name | Yin or Yang | Element |
NW1 | Xu-Dog | Yang | Earth |
NW3 | Hai-Pig | Yin | Water |
NE1 | Chou-Ox | Yin | Earth |
NE3 | Yin-Tiger | Yang | Wood |
SE1 | Chen-Dragon | Yang | Earth |
SE3 | Si-Snake | Yin | Fire |
SW1 | Wei-Goat | Yin | Earth |
SW3 | Shen-Monkey | Yang | Metal |
In additional to these direction there are also what is known as Death and Emptiness Lines located around the compass.
They are the directions where Qi is missing or unstable and the residents of properties with a main door facing these directions are more likely to suffer from ill-health, difficulty in acquiring wealth, business downturns and relationship issues.
They are located in the four Main Cardinal directions (0o. 90 o. 180 o and 270 o.) Major Death and Emptiness Lines are located on either side of the remaining animal locations (22.5o, 67.5 o, 112.5o, 157.5o, 202.5o, 247.5 o, 292.5 o and 337.5 o.)
Finally there are also Minor Death and Emptiness Lines separating each of the 24 Mountains located at 150 points around the compass. These Minor Lines are troublesome however not as serious as the Main Cardinal and Major Lines.
Whether a consultant is using Eight Mansions or Flying Stars methods of Feng Shui the Luo Pan Compass, which incorporates a 24 Mountains ring, is used to accurately pinpoint these directions.

Peach blossom and Chinese animal section
This is a new addition and I actually really love this section, this section is packed full of information on ways to activate peach blossom which is often misunderstood and when loosely translated, it is referred to as 'romance' or 'the good things in life'. If used correctly, it can help bring romance and can even be used to activate and strengthen career prospects, either way you follow the instructions in the same way. Using this little known Feng Shui technique can help attract new romance with people in your life. This enhancer will open some doors but you have to choose which one to walk through.
It is also very powerful when using this formula for mending bridges with your partner, family, friends, neighbours etc. Once you enter your birth details at the click of a button the software will calculate where and how to activate peach blossom and not only that it will automatically calculate the date and time to place the enhance and then it will automatically add the event into the diary system.

Never before has this ever been available. You would need to spend hundreds, even thousands of pounds/dollars for this amount of detail if you employed a professional Feng Shui practitioner and if you decided to read the books it would years to learn all this information and then chances are the books or websites would be inaccurate and cause you many problems.

On this version of the software you can print off your very own personalised auspicious prosperity cheque to enhance your chances of reaching your financial goals.

An unlimited amount of data can be stored and again easily recalled once you are in your client's folder. For my business this was an amazing edition to the software.
Saving your personal or company details (Business version only):
- When using the Business version you can enter your own personal, company name, address, tel/fax, web address, email etc.
- The reports that are generated are extremely professional and with your own personal details, it looks even more professional.
- You can also add your own logo, which adds further to the professionalism these reports will give you or your company.
Add your own theories and teachings into software (flying stars) (Master and Business Version only)
This is an editable working sheet/journal on the 81 combinations where the user can edit or add descriptions to the individual combination to their own beliefs.
The 81 combinations can be edited to incorporate your own theories, techniques, skill, teachings or experiences. Michael Hanna has given his own account on each combination but you should use this software like a journal and record all your studies and also real life experiences with clients or friends. An example would be: Generally the combination 1-6 is good but if there are negative forms (i.e. dead trees with branches jutting outwards, a sharp roof pointed towards the property at an angle or sharp mountain) outside this area, there could be brain or head related injury and you should also be careful of nervous breakdown. Also if this 1-6 combination falls in the south palace you should introduce blues and make sure the land formation is good etc.
Select one of the 81 combinations, then press the edit button and enter the text and then press save. This can be revised as many times as you like.
- We have given advice and also solutions for cures and enhancers for every one of the 81 combinations, most of the advice is very specialised and there are many secrets revealed; to most people this is all they would need, however for the eager student and especially the trained Practitioner you can incorporate your own theory on cures and enhancers.
- What does this mean? The original software that I have personally been using in my Feng Shui business for around six years has probably tripled in the information contained within this software. Unbelievably, the software can actually grow in size. If you look at the screen shot you will see the standard text for a mountain #1 and facing #1 star. If you buy the Master or business version you can add to the text in any language and save it so every time this combination is called up your own text will be seen and if you want you can even delete my text and start all over. This is why the Master and business versions are more expensive. This software is a working piece of software not just some pretty looking gimmick, a must for any serious enthusiast, Master or student.
Chinese Feng Shui auspicious ruler
This is a major advancement as all the auspicious dimensions are now calculated with the software. We have added a selection of auspicious household items and furniture for you so that you get a clear idea of how to use this. Input in imperial (inches) or metric and it will automatically tell you what that dimension is good for. Did you know a bed, desk, door, window and virtually every item you can think of must be made with auspicious dimension. This is so important in Asia. This software now calculates all dimensions.
- Now with preloaded auspicious items around your home or office. We have added different objects to the Chinese ruler that you would find around your home or business that all contain very auspicious measurements; these range from beds, wardrobes, doors and right down to a pen.
Lucky Chinese Numbers
Ancient Chinese scrolls suggest that Cheung Leung of the Han Dynasty introduced a competition similar to the lottery around 200 BC. Cheung's city was at war for several years and was beginning to run out of equipment. Apparently the people of his city refused to contribute any more to the war fund, so Cheung created a game of chance to create income to fund his army. This game, a numbers game not unlike the lottery, was an instant success and played a huge part in saving the city.
Quickly spreading throughout China, the game was also used to help fund the building of the Great Wall. The game also became known as the 'white pigeon game' as carrier pigeons were used to send the winning numbers from the lottery games in the larger cities to small villages and hamlets around China and more recently the name used is Lotto or Keno.
Feng Shui Master Practitioners would be employed to analyse birth natal charts and generate a set of numbers to use in the lottery, these were considered as life numbers and used in all forms of gambling.
On this software you can now create your own unique and auspicious lottery/gambling numbers using an ancient secret complex arithmetical code that is little known in our western world. It even generates a lottery ticket and shows you exactly in your home or business to place it to further enhance your chances of winning; we already have great feedback on this with some good wins.
Five elements section
This is a very useful section that teaches you how to use the five elements when applying cures and enhancers. There is a different section in this software for the overview page, productive cycle, weakening cycle, destructive cycle, wood, fire, earth, metal, water.
This section notifies you all on different areas of the five elements like associated shapes, colours, seasons, careers, building shapes and furniture shapes, directions, trigrams etc….
Diary/appointment function
The software is used by hundreds of Feng Shui businesses, Masters, Practitioners, teachers, consultants, architects, interior designers, builders, landscape gardeners, web designers, life coaches, alternative therapists, reiki healers and Feng Shui students throughout the world and use it as a day to day business piece of software, we have now added a full diary function allowing you to enter appointments, birthdates etc. you can also use Microsoft Outlook to save all the client information as a contact. This section of the software was only available in the old versions of the software but we thought that because it was such a valuable tool to have when using this software that we would incorporate it into all three versions of the new version 3 software.
- Reminders for appointments and goal planning that interacts with the diary system
- A powerful diary and appointment system showing if this day at a glance is good or not for you personally.
- Peach blossom advanced calculator for romance and career with the ability to add to your diary system
Back up and restore
You can automatically back up all your client information and store it on an external media disk or hard drive and restore it at any time giving you peace of mind in the event of a computer crash or transfer of computers.
Adding personal notes
We have added a note section to the Academy of Feng Shui version 3.0 so that you can add a note and look back on it as you go through this software as all the information can be a bit too much to remember in your head; why not have all the parts you want to remember in one note! It is also an invaluable tool if you are learning Feng Shui.
