Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Under what circumstances can an element in the chart (Water in this demo case), when combined with another element, lose its own elemental status and change to another element (Earth in this demo case)? This one you will need to read up on detailed ba zi analysis. There are couple of combinations and clashes and under what situations they will combine permanently and when they combine just for that moment when they meet. This is often beyond a basic ba zi reading. So you have to do your own research on this, as I don't have time to list out all the different combination rules and situationsavailable. All the rules are already programmed into t…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I would like to know if there's a cureI can use in my daughter's room. The back of her study desk is against a wall which has a toilet on the other side(her bathroom is on the room next door). I cannot place her desk any where else in the room. Can I place something on or behind her desk to help with this. I want her to get the most energy to help her study and not feel drained out. Given that you can't place the desk elsewhere, there is nothing much you can really do to remove the draining effect. The most impact is when the toilet bowl is at the opposite side of the wall. Otherwise, the impact won't be as bad. So I would suggest these few …

Thank you for your reply...I do appreciate it...Chris

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Recently I buy a new car with 9984 as the number plate and White as the car colour. Just want to enquire is this set of numbers and car colour both favourable for me? White colour is normally defined as Metal element. As a weak waer person, metalis a favourable colour for you. As for the car number question, there isn't a feng shui analysis for car number. Under feng shui, normally two methods are used:- 1.While there are numerous way to determine how auspicious a number. For example, most will go by sounding of the number 9984 (jiu jiu fa si - longevity longevity prosperty death). Theother numbers all would be ok except for maybe the 4 whi…

Dear John, john lee wrote: What's your advice for residences near the sea. For eg, Jalan Loyang Besar (across Pasir Ris Park)? Fengshui wise and 'common sense' viewpoint in light of a possible big quake/tsunami? Thanks Generally, under feng shui four symoblic animal concept. A house is always good to have water or clear space at the frontage. While the back of the house should be supported by a mountain. So if you do not consider any other factors (such as flying star, or house facing suitability etc). Then any house that you can have water frontage is always deemed a good choice. However, as you mentioned, recently the problem of a sea frontage is possibility of natu…

Dear Din Lee, Din Lee wrote: Need to know if my office sitting position is facing the six killing ie "liu sha" position and i cannot possible change my sitting arrangement. What can i do to minimise the bad impact.. Generally, unless a personis holding a key position in the company, it is most unlikely that you will be able to have the flexibility to choose a sitting position. So there is very little you can do even if you are stting facing your inauspicious direction. However, what we always advise is that there are still many areas in your life that you can improve. As long as, you can improve your ba zi luck, even if you work in an inauspicious direction, your luck …

Dear Daniel, Daniel Davis wrote: Currently I'm staying in a house which is belong to my wife. The house title is in her name. Is it to say, that what ever we do on the house, it should be base on my wife ??? The more important question you should be asking, is who is actually paying for the house? You see a house may be registered under your wife, but if you are paying for the house and you are staying there. You are more likely the breadwinner for the house. But if your wife is paying for the house, then it would be your wife as the breadwinner. Hope that helps to clarify. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I got a plot with cut on North West Side. What could be the remedy for that? For a house, you still can correct with mirrors or creating a rock or garden feature to symoblically cover the missing corner. That is when you view it from the top view, it looks like the missing corner is covered. Generally, you can't correct a missing plot of land. Anyway, even if the plot of land is odd, as long as your house isn't odd shaped or missing, it should be fine. Hope that helps.

If you are a Gua (Kua) 3, then South-East is better as it is your longevity, compared to South-West (Disaster). Given, there is no other option, then South-East would be the more suitable of the two directions given an East group person.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I'm looking atbuying a house and themain door opens out to a split door, is it "harmful" for the ones staying in the house? Is there a cure ? Generally, if you open your door and anything that cuts or split in your house, this is considered inauspicious. As it is normally a form or sha qi or poison arrow. This means this wall/split will cut right into your house. Typical way to resolve is try to block it. Probably like having at least gate with has half the height covered. Or even having some partition inside your house just after you enter into the door. Or last resort may be to use a ba gua to reflect the problem, but this may lead to bagua…

Dear Tialen K, tialen k wrote: hello, I planted three tall thin trees together in a grouping, however I was told this was bad luck as typically incense is burned in groups of three for morning. thus the three trees symbolize the sticks of incense and therefore death. tialen k wrote: Is this correct?? I have seen groupings of three like this before as landscapers typically recommend this type of groupings. Yes, when we pray using joss stick, we normally use 3 joss stick. So, if you plants 3 thin plants, it is likely to resemble this 3 joss stick. So it is not so auspicious in general. How bad, really depends on how much far the 3 plants placed and how it looks from …

Dear Reyla, reyla faubion wrote: Just wanted to know on the bazi analysis software, when you plug in your birthday is it your birthday US time, Singapore time or other? I'm confused bec. I could be born on the 12th in US time but it might be th 13th Singapore time. In general, adjusting GMT time zone isn't the right or proper way to adjust location factor. In fact, the only true way is to apply the long. and lat. of birth. However, even this if you add just 1 degree off, your chart can be even less accurate than if you do not consider this at all. Furthermore, who actually records the exact long. and lat. of birth when you are born. Even if you are born within a hospita…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Just want to know if salt lamps are good for feng shui when placed in the house. Thank you very much. Generally, salt lamps are made from salt crystal rocks. Generally, it is not really a feng shui item or product. Just a decorative form of lighting feature. No issue in general to use it. In terms of best feng shui location, it is related more towards crystal. Under the feng shui, areas where there is auspicious mountain star (ie star 8/9/1 for period 8 houses, or 7/8/9 for period 7 houses), should benefit from having some form of mountain star feature. Typically a crystal or mountain picure. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEO…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I've checked the Earth % in my and my husband's bazhi. It is 12% and 8% respectively - quite little. In that case, going into a bakery business may be considered OK right? It is still best to go with the favourable elements you lack first, rather than unfavourable elements that you lack. As you still need to have your favourable elements before you can benefit from adding more Earth element. So even though your earth element is generally lacking, you can still consider bakery business, but this would also mean that you need to ensure that your house or other areas in your life belongs your favourable element…

My husband is planning to change his office's window to a back door in case of fire. I've heard that change window to door isa big 'no no' in FengShui so I'd likesome advice from Feng Shui experts on our case. Generally, when you change a door or window, the Qi of the house will likely be affected. Especially, if the door or window happens to be the frontage/backdoor location. It would appear that the window you are attempting to change will fall in the badkdoor area. So yes, it would affect the feng shui of the house. Thus, it is best you carefully …

Dear J T, jt88 88 wrote: Is it neccessary to collect keysfor a new home on a auspicious day? I found that the day of collection is an inauspicious dayfrom My Fengshui report site. Thank you. Selecting an auspicious date is just to find a date that has as little inauspicious influence to your ba zi. This is to ensure that you have a good start that is all. So it is entirely up to individual whether or not they want to find a good date or not. Of course, if possible it is always recommended to find a good date to collect key, to perform initial opening ceremony, move-in, start of renovation etc. All this is just to ensure that everything will go smoothly. Nothing more. …
