Determining the Wen Chang position based on an entire residence and annual energies cannot precisely cater to individuals. Using birth years to determine the Wen Chang position is a simplistic and impractical method. Only when birth days are considered, focusing on individual Heavenly Stems, can the calculation be accurate.
The method to determine the Wen Chang position based on the Heavenly Stems of birthdays is as follows:
For individuals born on a day with the Heavenly Stem ‘Jia,’ the Wen Chang position is in the Si direction, i.e., southeast by south;
For individuals born on a day with the Heavenly Stem ‘Yi,’ the Wen Chang position is in the Wu direction, i.e., due south;
For individuals born on a day with the Heavenly Stem ‘Bing,’ the Wen Chang position is in the Shen direction, i.e., southwest by west;
For individuals born on a day with the Heavenly Stem ‘Ding,’ the Wen Chang position is in the You direction, i.e., due west;
For individuals born on a day with the Heavenly Stem ‘Wu,’ the Wen Chang position is in the Shen direction, i.e., southwest by west;
For individuals born on a day with the Heavenly Stem ‘Ji,’ the Wen Chang position is in the You direction, i.e., due west;
For individuals born on a day with the Heavenly Stem ‘Geng,’ the Wen Chang position is in the Hai direction, i.e., northwest by north;
For individuals born on a day with the Heavenly Stem ‘Xin,’ the Wen Chang position is in the Zi direction, i.e., due north;
For individuals born on a day with the Heavenly Stem ‘Ren,’ the Wen Chang position is in the Yin direction, i.e., northeast by east;

This method precisely pinpoints the location, which corresponds to the concept of the ‘food deity’ in Chinese metaphysics, representing intelligence, imagination, and innovative thinking. However, in metaphysics, the ‘food deity’ is considered an auspicious entity. If too strong, it can lead to indulgence and laziness. Hence, it’s essential to balance it with other factors, such as the inhibiting effects of the ‘seal stars’ in an individual’s destiny.
Considering auspicious and inauspicious factors is crucial in various aspects. If the ‘food deity’ is weak, placing the study area in this location can enhance the individual’s educational development. The placement can include items like Wen Chang Pagoda, Confucius figurines, calligraphy brushes, inkstones, and lucky bamboo, among others.
