Dear Anon, 1. It is quite understandable with so much information on Feng Shui. Not only the amount of information but how to piece all the puzzle. 2. When one applies Feng Shui, one should apply it as a Holistic approach encompassing all the good `techniques' from the various schools. 3. You mentioned the Eight House and the Flying Star. One more important consideration is also the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui. 4. Usually, most of us, do not have much problems at home or office. But if we do, we should rather `identify' the problem and neutralise it. For some of us, we do not have problems but rather would like to enhance our home: For health, happiness and prospe…

Dear Silk, Please see below:- ----- Original Message ----- From: "free-advice Listmanager" To: Sent: Monday, August 14, 2000 7:13 AM Subject: Eight House Query In general, the Eight House Theory looks at: 1. How suitable a person is to the house. 2. Areas where one spent time at should preferably be a good sector for the person. As far as the Eight House theory is concerned, (other than the main entrance door sector which in this case, is not a suitable house for you). You should also look at the intangible force at the bedroom area. Other than the above, it is difficult to neutralise any intangible force based on this theory. In traditional FS, we can use Flyi…

I must truly apologise for the info that I am going to provide, below... For those who don't have a stomach to read the message; I strongly suggest; please skip this message! ACTUNG! You have been WARNED! These are some of the considerations:- 1. Frankly, no offence ... I just glanced what you had wrote and this immediately flashes into my mind: "A little knowledge is considered a dangerous thing!". 2. OK, let's assume that in this "tiny" world of Fung Sway; and there is this person who only eats and sleeps and swear only by the Eight House... erh... good luck to you! 3. Even in the Eight House and micro-management of the Eight House concept; there is such a thing…

Dear Anon, The Finding A Good House report has three dimensions: 1. Breadwinner's Eight House (East/West group) or Gua analysis 2. The specific Flying Star chart of an apartment. 3. Ba Zi of the breadwinner. Here are some important considerations: 1. Where possible, the ideal `house' or main door is where: in all three cases: Best choice is where all the above THREE CRITERIAS (Para 1, 2 and 3) is auspicious to the breadwinner. 2. What happens if it does not? Then, it is best to use this advice: 1. Eight House Analysis 1.1 DEATH OR DISASTER AT MAIN ENTRANCE? 1.1.1 Where possible, the main door SHOULD not be the DEATH or DISASTER to the breadwinner. 1.1.2 If so, this is al…

Dear Joan, The clue here is that both Eight House and Flying Star Feng Shui are compass school Feng Shui - specific to a home/location. Thus, between Eight House vs Ba Zi, it is often, better to consider more from a Eight House point of view, than the ba zi. However, if one uses the Ba Zi point of view, than, one should consider it in general i.e. the main entrance. For example, what is one's element and strength? If say one is a strong water person. Than, a south facing house is considered auspicious e.g. Strong Water destroys Fire (south). Thus is considered a good home for the breadwinner. Thus, when we use the ba zi analysis, do try to see if one is weak or strong v…

Dear Fely, Fely Aquino wrote: Please refresh my knowledge again. The Eight House has North location as the main door. What if the home's main door faces any of the other locations (ie, West, Northeast, etc)? How do you determine the bad and good locations in this regard? The facing of the house you should determine by our facing direction rule set:- 1. Landed Property - ie facing of the house itself. Depends on the orientation of the house itself. 2. Apartment (2nd level - 7th level) - ie main door of the house as your facing direction of the house 3. Apartment (8th level and up) - ie living room or balcony as your facing directiondirection. This will be the facing …

Dear Victor, 1. For the layout plan, often, the emphasis is to try to find the `center-of-gravity' of a home. 2. There is really no hard and fast rule as to whether a balcony can or should be excluded. Often, a more important issue is the garage: as this often occupies a larger area and if we take the entire garage into consideration, it may distort the center-of-gravity of a home. 3. For a balcony, it has to be looked into in relation to the entire layout plan. 4. For example, some balcony protrudes on a landed property. If so, often, we should not take this into account. 5. If the balcony is within the fringe of the entire layout plan (or top-view) and it does not see…

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, I know of some FS practitioners are selling them. 2. Frankly, the eight rod wind chime is a modern invention. 2.1 The reason why I call this a modern invention is because, the Chinese dialect group Cantonese, likes the phonetic sound of `8' or Fatt, or prospertiy. 2.2 Because of this connotation, the trend or fad for the eight rod wind chime started or originated from Hong Kong. 2.3 Locally, I believe some FS practitioners also `catch' on with this. Not so much of its proper use but rather, in my opinion, a profit element. 2.4 Imagine, the cost price of such items can be as low as a few dollars. (Especially if they are manufactured in bulk and with low…

Dear Wasis, 1. Yes, the land, it is very vital to `control' water below us. 2. This is why, often a pagado was built along water channels below ground to try and neutralise it. 3. It is said that wells contain `spirts' and we have to control it. 4. We have to look at Feng Shui from may facets and angles. 5. In many fields, there are their specialisations. In Feng Shui also, many of us have our specific specialisation - that represents our location. 6. For example, in a vast relatively undeveloped regions, most of the Feng Shui work is related to the land, the `water' on this land such as wells and underground water movements. 7. In built-up regions, we see more double-tri…

Good day, Master Cecil! The electric company just placed a post right innfront of our house entrance. It is not directly in front of the main door, but seems to slice through the small peeping window beside the main door. It can also be seen clearly through the big foyer window. Will hanging a crystal chandelier inside the foyer help? Kindly see attached photo. Thank you!

Thank you very much.

Dear Sophia, Please see below:-

Dear Anon, In this forum, under the Conferenence: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures); please review this topic: What is the `Triangle Effect'. This method will help you understand what you should do if you have an electrical post. Hope it helps. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chin Teck Lee, You can use this free ba zi report to generate your true element and favourable or unfavourable elements. http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm Generally, a general analysis often takes only your year of birth. However, even in a Dragon year, there are weak Fire Dragon or Strong Water Dragon etc. Each different element and strength will have different luck in that year itself. I am not sure if you are a weak fire or strong fire, as each element will have different favourable and unfavourable elements. So please use the above reports to find out what are good and bad for you. Fire exhaust Wood. It does not clash. Fire is often …

1. Plastics are derived from petro-chemicals. Petro-chemicals is considered a "chemical" or fire element. But if the plastic is hardened like "poly-carbite" it can be considered as metal element. Much like glass or tempered glass is generally considered as metal - because of it's harden properties - if we consider the material. But, if platic(s) is molded or can be molded or injected into a wavy form then based on just the shape or profile, it can be considered as a water element. 2. Please note that if all these sounds confusing, but yet logical, then as the common saying goes: " An item can be all things to all differentpersons". 3. Cane furniture with metal frame I…

DearCecil Thank you for your honest and quick reply, the reasons I ask this question is that in the Flying star sample report found in your forum their are untimely star that needs to be weaken, in the proposed solution in each analysis it is mentioned what element you introduce to weaken a bad star combination, i.easide from the pendulum clock, 6 coins toweaken 5=earthI was thinking of colors of furnitures, closets, cabinets doors etc depending on the flying star that needs to be weaken or enhance. Thank you!

Dear Hoa Luong, Hoa Luong wrote: What would be the element for the color tan? and the color khaki? Is it earth? Yes, I presume colour you mentioned are similiar to these colour chart:- Tan Colour Khaki Colour Tan colour, if darker would be Wood (as it is closer to brown), if lighter would be Earth (as it would be closer to cream) element Khaki would be Earth element. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Master Thanks very much for your advice.

Dear Allan, In Ba Zi or Pillars of Destiny, if you are using the Luck Pillars in our report, you can find out each year whether it is auspicious or inauspicious (in addition to generally, the 10 year luck period). From my personal observation, each year differs in the luck period. Warmest Regards, Cecil
