Of course it is nice-to have everything done prior to the 7th month. But as you had mentioned; fortunately, only the odds and ends are left. Critically, the stove has to be in and often the bed should be ready. Other things you mentioned; ain't that serious at all- Good enough-

Hi Master, I have 1 ancestor tablet in my current house and I'm moving house soon, as the new house is not ready yet, thus need to temporary put in my dad's place. The problem is my dad's house also has 1 ancestor tablet and there isn't much space left on the altar table. Question: - Is it possible to put my house's ancestor tablet in front of my dad's house original ancestor tablet? - My house ancestor tablet is slightly bigger, it will block my dad's house original ancestor table, is it ok? Appreciate your help to assist in this. Thanks.

Dear Jojo, If you want to practise 9 Star Ki, it is adviseable not to practise Feng Shui because it has its own `ruleset' and some of the key essence is the same but however, there are still some differences and if one does not know sure of the actual differences, one may end up creating problems for themselves. Basically for Feng Shui is the time for the breadwinner to enter the house is important. As for the direction, which you mentioned, in practical reality, when you travel say on the road, it is most likely that one may turn into an inauspicious direction. Therefore, this rule is not an important rule to take into account in our modern society. Lets look at it this …

It is still possible. In addition try to choose an auspicious phonetic sounding timing e.g. 6.38 am or 6.39am - to fine tune further the range from 5 to 7am.

Dear Master Cecil, I have planned to move house on the 23rd of dec 2017. My zodiac is rabbit. I just realised that my mother who is already living in the house is a tiger and 23rd dec 17 clashes with a tiger. Can I still move in on the 23rd dec 2017? if no, is there any other suitable date for moving in december 2017? Thanks very much!

Hi Master, Please advice, on the subject above. Is it okay to move house during Chinese ghost festival. If urgently have to move (no choice), what is your advice (do and don'ts) that I have to take note off. Thank you and have a nice day ahead. Have a blessed Vesak Day.

OLD CHINESE TALE says:- Don't care where you are concieved; but rather, don't ever move the matrimonial bed, during pregnancy.

Thanks Master

Try to locate the information in that forum or do a SEARCH such as " sugar "; " rice "; " moving ". Regards, Cecil

Thanks for the quick reply master. Btw is it really necessary to bring the stove (guo huo lo)? If yes, can use the portable gas type? Is it necessary to pray to "Tu Di Gong"? 1. I was told to bring the huo lo (gas lo also can), then every household member cross over it and must not be empty handed. (if cannot be empty handed, then what must we bring exactly) 2. Once enter the house, on all the lights, aircon and fan. Open the window and boil water. 3. sorry if this sounds stupid, Must i bring my dog along for the moving in ritual since he's considered part of the family?

The move-in procedures can be found under this link:- http://info.geomancy.net Just select the correctlink and print it out.

1. More importantly, the "owners" or "breadwinners" or subsidary tenants or anyone who are suppose to move-in should SLEEP from that day onwards. Is generally considered as having moved-in. 2. In real life situations, some people may bring in their gods a few days earlier. An example is that they had an opportunity to bring in their gods on very good days such as every 15th lunar month or every 1st day of every lunar month. These days are always good days to bring in the gods. 3. Often, we should not bring in the GODs too early. What is too early? For example, one month before we actually moved-in. Thus in general, one may consider bringing in a god earliest should be a…

Question: May I know where is the best place to put all the items such as salt, oil, rice, huat kuay, pineapple etc after we brought them into the house and for how long we need to put it there? The idea of bringing in the items are symbolic. It implies stocking up essentials. Thus, anytime, after bringing them in; they can be properly organized and stored in their respective places. And to be used or consumed, anytime afterwards. Thus there is no hard or fast rule to where to place them; but definitely after bringing them into the kitchen, one day must keep or place them in their proper shelves.

1. Yes, it is very common to bring in items into the home before move-in. 2. If it is not the 7th month, it is not the 7th month. As mentioned in a recent forum message, the elderly just don't like the 6th month. Not because it is the "7th" month (how can this be) BUT rather, the elderly don't like it because it symbolises 50-50. Neither here nor there as the 6th month is half-half (between the 1st and the 12th lunar month). This is the rationale behind why some elderly reasoned as no good - 6th month, that's all.

Hi Seco, Congratulations on your new home Yes, if all the changes are done for this period 7 house, it should change it to a period 8. To further make the change effective, you should hold like a house warming party to help make ensure that the house is changed to a period 8 house instead of retaining the period 7 influence. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Esther, Knocking the door The idea here is to seek the "spirits" permission to enter the home. But, frankly, not many people does this sort of thing. In fact, it is better not to do so, based on symbolism. Knocking could alternatively seem to "knock" away one's luck even before entering the home. Well, I hope, that by now, you should have a good idea of what to do. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kevin, As the house is `shared' not much you can do here. However, since you mentioned that you are a weak wood person, you can enhance yourself with the following:- 1.Look under the Luck Pillars to see whether the season has any influence on your element i.e. weak wood. For example, if the current 10 year season is " Metal " element, this may not ba an auspicious period. And the cure is to enhance yourself with Water element or Wood element. For example, if the current 10 year season is " Water " element, this is considered favourable to you. For a weak wood person, you should try to enhance yourself with (first: Water) or (secondary: Wood element). For example, you…
