Dear Sable, For Qing Ming, the best time to offer prayers is 10 days before and 10 days after Qing Ming. Thus 27 Mar and 3 April would fall within the 10 days prior to Qing Ming. (Qing Ming is 5 April 2005). Thus the last day to offer Qing Ming prayers is 15 April 2005. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Fran, 1. Frankly, it is difficult to advise you based on a few descriptions. 2. Perhaps, if you have a photo taken from the cul de sac, showing partially the cul de sac, it would be ideal. 3. This is because, usually where the major `force' hits your home, this is the vulnerable area. And if the vulnerable area is a wall, this is quite OK. 4. But if it `hits' say the main door directly or a window of the house, then, a cure should be used. 5. Even if it hits the house, but if the house is angled, this should not be an issue. 6. Let me illustrate a serious cul de sac situation. Please refer to the attached layout plan (not available to those who listen in using a mail…

(It is placed in an L shaped open-plan living room/dinning room area. It is in the living room end) 3. How large is the fish tank e.g. 6ft by 4 ft? (60cm x 30cm x 40cm) 4. What is the colour of the stand. (The tank is placed on a small wooded chest that has a metal frame, It is stained grey sized 60cm x 55cm x 55cm) 5. What is the shape of the fish tank. (Rectangle) 6. Approximately how large is this room and what is it used for. (50 square meters) Thanks for your help Liz Grateful if you can `cut-pa…

Dear Knight Elliot, Everyone has some form of personal intuition (often known as like Sixth Sense). Some people have very strong intuition, others have less. It is hard to tell you from a third party point of view, exactly whether the repeated 11 is it auspicious or not. Probably it sounds like a warning to me at this point. Usually, when a person is very close to you, when something happen, you just have some feeling about it. Quite natural. Sometimes, the best thing is not to be overly worried. When you think too much into anything, you only stress yourself out and add more worries. Especially, so when things just do seems to work out well for you. Unfortunately, we …

Hi, Please read below:- This means that if you are water and fire is your wealth, if you are a strong water and constantly with an environment or job which represents fire, you are likely to be successful and wealthy! But only if you are strong enough to take advantage of it! Deity is like a god which for the Pillars presents some helping stars. It is represented by the 5 elements of which there is a direct, and indirect version of each element. For example, direct wealth and indirect wealth. This means that direct wealth is wealth you obtain from your hard work. As for indirect wealth are wealth such as inheritance or winning lottery etc. Bone is a term use by t…

Quote: 1) What is the Wealth Element & Colour? 1. Please refer to the link, below:- http://www.geomancy.net/talknotes/talknotes.htm 1.1 Under the Five elements concept, there is a cycle known as: "Destructive cycle". 1.2 Literally, it is known as the "destructive cycle" because, taking an example: 2. In the "destructive cycle diagram" , "Wood destroys earth". 3. Just imagine a large tree (strong wood) with it's roots digging into the earth to get nourishment. 4. Thus, we can also say that the Wood (tree) draws wealth from the earth. 5. For a strong metalperson, again in the "destructive cycle",metal destroys wood e.g. a block of wood costs $4, but if you a…

1. In my opinion, you got it all mixed up. Both authority and determination are nothing close to relation or spouse sort of thing. 1.1. Authority refers to things like leadership skill. And more authoritative in nature. 1.2.While determination is really what it means; being determined. 2. Ba Zi Day Pillar:- 2.1 In a detailed ba zi report; 2.1.1 On relationships; please check out the sample partial extract of a detailed ba zi report. IN PURPLE: the day pillar says it all " SELF and SPOUSE" 2.1.2 House of Conception For the male; this represents the SPOUSE. And for the female her CHILD.

1. As I mentioned, in the previous message; if Feng Shui is to be applied; usually it is based on Para 2... e.g. Flying Star Feng Shui and/or in the Far East, if a place has good Shapes and forms Feng Shui; it can sell by itself. 2. If you are especially say in the US, housing market is pretty stale at the moment with tons of homes on foreclosure and many uanble to get proper loans. 3. Honestly, Feng Shui is not a cure all. Only those that has been mentioned in my last msg (refer to Para 2 of that msg) and under Para 1, of this msg.

Hello Cecil, I went to the feng shui emporium and they did not have any of the items I was looking for. Oh well, I'll keep looking. Thank You for your help. Sincerely, Kathie

Dear Matilde, Attached please find a common "new home blessing ceremony". But it is based on several Chinese customs. And, please note that quite alot of items mentioned are specific to the Chinese community. However, symbolism plays an important part in our (Chinese) culture. The most simpliest forms of `blessings' has to do with showering "wealth" into our homes. For example, simple situations could include: 1. For the Chinese sprinkle (raw) rice all around the home. Here, it is like showering wealth into the home. 2. Some Chinese sprinkle (raw) green beans also. This also symbolise sowing seeds into the home e.g. having children. Where the green beans: green symbolise …

I think if the flying stars are good at the front door than you should =not worry too much. Madan Seda

These are useful resources on facing direction: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=32493&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=15673&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=15672&new= As for how do I determine the year build; there must be either some record of when the EXISTING building was built and 1st or initial occupation. May be can check with the landlord. For Flying Star Feng Shui, it is slotting the home into one of the 20 year flying star periods i.e. 1983 to 2004. And one do not need to know the exact date e.g. 5 Jan 1985 10.55.55 secs ty…

Master Lee, I do apologize for the ambiguous way I asked the question, to be specific: North - Family room - Disaster East - 11 year old's b/room - Death SE - Spare b/room - Irritation South - Kitchen - Spook My front door faces the West as I am a in the West House sector as my DOB is 15/08/57, unsure as to the time I was born. I sincerely do appreciate your advice to this predicament. Best wishes, Rory

Dear Kavita, 1. In general, the advise is not to have toilets at `true compass directions' i.e. North, South, East, West, NE, NW, SE and SW. 2. In theory, this calls for relocation of the toilet to solve the "problem". In reality, it is difficult or impossible to simply shift some of the toilets. It comes as it is. Nothing much one can do here. 3. It is generally considered that a toilet is a YIN location i.e. becase of water element in it and it is generally `darker' and more YIN. The only thing which one can do is to: 3.1 Close the toilet door when not in use. 3.2 Make it more YANG e.g. keep it dry and bright. Frankly, in my opinion, other than the above nothing much on…

Dear Velinda, velinda harjono wrote: My husband is the bread winner of the family. Unfortunately, our main door faces north-west which spells disaster for him in terms of his birthdate (1969). His lucky direction is south east. I feel there is always going on in this house which are uncontrollable and unfortunate and usually involves my husband. How can we neutralize the unlucky front door without changing houses (for now)? Are there ways to improve our situation? This point has been talk about many many times. Eight House is about suitability. There is very little you can do to correct a suitability of a home other than getting another that is more suitable to you. Thus…

1. The high uncovered overhead beam can be an issue. 2. Given that your cubicle is located at a frequent foot traffic area - there is no choice, here. You have placed a mirror is fine or OK. For para 1, some of the common cures include: 1. Covering the overhead beam - seems not within your control 2. Another common approach is to draw a red line parallel to the beam (especially if it is above your head). The "red" line symbolises fire and if the beam is a concrete or wood beam, the red (fire) is symbolic of "melting" the beam. 3. Possible also for the nasty #5 yellow (misfortune/sickness) and or a combination of it with #2 at your cubicle sector. Here, within your cu…

1. Frankly, even amongst (us) geomancer's; many of us cannot even agree on the issue of the facing direction. 2. But the main concensus is that the facing direction can be the door, the facaade of the building, the stack BUT However, it should be the place where it has the most yang qi. 3. Usually if it is an existing home, there should be some "history". If so, several flying charts could be created and analysed. 4. An experienced geomancer, would normally analyse the habit(s) of their client; e.g. always close or open their main door, windows fully or partially opened or closed all the time. The activity area such as the living room etc.... 5. Therefore, it is wishf…

Dear Wendy, It is good to have the pyramid type roof or `swiss cottage' type of roof. The threat you mention can be neutralised and this is a consideration. Overall, besides the other points I mentioned, if you have the time, use the Eight House template to see which house is best suited for the breadwinner. In particular, it would be better if the main door is not the `death or disaster' sector for the breadwinner. For other family members and the breadwinner, check to see - in particular if the bedroom is suited for each family member - where possible. The other important considerations are the the toilet(s) should preferably not be at the frontage of the house. And if …

You wrote: Nowadays, many apartments (HDB or private development) comes with balcony or planter. Would like to seek your advice if these areas need to be brightly and well lit at night or is it OK to leave these areas unlit at night? These are some considerations: 1. In my opinion, contrary to what you had written; in fact, long time ago as far as 1968 onwards; many apartments do have either a balcony or the many thousands of 1 room and 3 room HDB a COMMON corridor. This includes the HUDC flats and private flats. 2. Especially these common corridor is a "cheaper" form of balcony; but they are still some form of a corridor cum balcony. 3. Even today, many HDB blocks ha…
