From 2004 to 2023, the Earth is in charge of Period 8. So the strength of 2 Black and 8 White corners of a house will be stronger in this 20 years. If a 8 White Kua person lives in a 8 White Kua house, he or she will be luckier according to the theory of Feng Shui. In this case, we can say a right person lives in right house during the right time.
