General Help

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I am new to this website. Just curious whether are our destinies(study, career,marriage, etc...)set when we are born? Are we able to change or accept them as it is???? In general, under feng shui there is Heaven, Earth, Human luck. So under the heaven luck, it is often said that the kind of luck a person is supposed to have is generally pre-determined. However, since there are still two more factors Earthluck and Human luck, these two can still help to alter some of the given luck. For example, a good Earth luck can make an inauspicious 10-year luck better than it is predicted in the ba zi. Good Human luck ie having good relationship with yo…

Dear Gabriel, Please see below:- 24 is actually the 24 directions or mountains under the Flying Star Feng Shui. Where each sector of the compass i.e. 360 degrees is divided by 15 degree increments which results in 24 directions or mountains. East/West Group is also known as Eight House and basically, it is finding the house compass direction and `slotting' the house into either North , South, East, West, NE, SE, SW, NW or 8 compass directions. Under the Flying Star Feng Shui not only is the house Feng Shui if a house is at `North' one must determine which of the North sectors it belongs to. For example in the Flying Star you have:- Direction ========= North 1 North 2…

Dear Damodar, Our reports and analysis are customised to show the North direction on the top. Therefore all calculations done have been changed and correctly reflect this. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Diana, If you use this free report, it will show you exactly what elements and colours you will need:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm Or the Comparison Report within the Members Area will accurately find a Binding Element common to both of you. Generally for weak Metal and weak Fire, probably one set of binding element could be Fire (Red) and Earth (yellow). There are several different combinations but Fire and Earth would probably be the best as fire enhance weak the weak Fire, while Earth enhance Metal. This also helps you to create an harmonious combination of element Fire -> Earth -> Metal. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards …

Dear Norman, Norman Leonor wrote: I have a mirror 4feet by 4 1/2 feet standing infront my stairs upstairs.. Does this mirror have any effect on us and for the good chi or bad chi? Generally, it is not a good idea to have a mirror just at the stairs, simply because it can be a shock for people to see themselves when theyreach the top. Especially for those who are not aware that it is there. Furthermore, mirror if placed in bad sector, can sometimes bounce/create twice the bad luck. Hope that helps.

Dear Susan, Each house has to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. It depends on the distance of the house e.g. back of the house to the drop off point. And the gradient of this drop off point or slope. Overall, a large land has some advantages. Especially if the back is `spacious' or better off situation. In such a senario, if the proper `fencing' or ability to create a solid backing can be done, this can be acceptable. Therefore, no two houses are the same. It is best in most situations to create a `solid backing' at the back of the house and if possible avoid water positions. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Karen, Studies such as those done by NASA, has shown that having a plant indoors can be beneifical to a home. Recently, I had posted a link in this forum to a Honeywell Site - which also has some resources on having a plant indoors - and that some plants are more effective than others in `cleansing' the air in a home. In my opinion, I personally think that there are two reasons why some people do not like having a money plant indoors i.e. home or office:- Reason 1: Some of us just use a glass plant container, add rocks, to `secure' the roots of the money plant. And simply pour water to this container. As many of us know, this is an easy option, as we do not need to …

Dear Anon, This is actually a very common problem for a lot of people. This is where you need to adopt a give and take approach. When looking for for a home, you give the best facing (ie excellent/prosperity etc) to the breadwinner. In our traditional chinese culture,the man of the house is the husband or father of the family. Then the breadwinner will enjoya less suitable bedroom (ie spook/irritation etc). Given that the breadwinner gets his luck from the house, he can now give a better bedroom to his spouse. Thus, the spouse can have a less suitable facing of the house (ie spook/irritation etc), while a better bedroom ie (excellent/prosperity etc). This way you can …

1. Firstly even if possible, normally tilting a door only brings temporary changes - and often not the best method. 2. The better method is to "tap" qi coming from good sectors e.g. if the qi coming from a specific sector e.g. a specific living room window, then it is good to constantly allow qi to come in from this window. And for some window(s) that has poor qi, then open them less often (provided these are not critical windows such as a bedroom window). If so, the window should still be opened to allow air to circulate. (opened but not fully).

Dear Yen Zhen, yan zhen goh wrote: I am a Ram person of weak water element (2nd Nov 1979). Many horoscope books havestated that I am always incompatible or have many difficulties with Tiger & Dog people. Actually, I get along extremely well with them! (incl my best friends & most reliable subordinates as well)What could be the factors? I have 5 earth elements in my chart; could that be a factor too? I'm extremely interested to find out about this. Thanks in advance! Frankly, horoscope is a very simplistic way to determine compatibility as it assigns each horoscope sign with some compatible and incompatible horoscope. However, if you think more deeply, there are …

Dear Mun Hon, Please see below:- 1. Most importantly, sector Feng Shui or paying homage to a sector is not a realistic way to practise Feng Shui. 2. The rationale is because it is too general to be of use for anyone. Statistically, it makes no sense to relate SW = romance sector. 3. In many of the past examples, I given such an example:- 4. Assuming that SW = romance sector, what happens if three of us are intrested in a new employee? 5. Based on the `romance sector theory' that we often read from some books, it says that we have to enhance it. 6. In my case, I place 1 rose on my SW sector. While, you have heard me doing so and decided to place 99 roses on your work …

Dear Jo Yong, In my opinion, one should take into consideration the `private' door into each apartments i.e. door (B) for Feng Shui analysis. If you have a sketch of the outline of the houses and its relation to the door (A) and (B), it would help to confirm the above. Regards, Cecil

Dear Joy, Method 1 ======== For 1967 (female):- [1.] 67 - 4 = 63 [2.] 63 / 9 = 7 remainder 0 [3.] Gua is the remainder 0 (which is treated as Gua 9) I believe you took the value 7 which is not the gua number. It should be the remainder 0. Since the gua is 0, it should be treated as Gua 9 instead. You can use the method 2 to in the Applied Feng Shui course to verify this. It also gives you 9 instead of 7. Method 2 ======== For 1967 (female): [1.] 6 + 7 = 13 = 1 + 3 = 4 [2.] 4 + 5 = 9 [3.] Gua is 9 You can use the Method 2 which is an easier method. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Kaushal, In my opinion, other than if the house has good Feng Shui qualities and if the buyer is aware of FS, one can use it as a selling tool. Otherwise, I read with `amusement' some `cures' suggested include tie a ribbon etc... Many factors include the selling price, market conditions and equally ... luck. Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, For flights, it would depend on the direction of travel and transit through countries. As the flight usually lasts not more than 15 hours, nowadays, in modern times, less concerned of many people of the travel from and to a particular destination with the advent for `heavy' globalisation and travel. Which is frequent. Please see below:- Usually, if the house has brought in `luck' the advise is not to `change' it including the frontage if we can. I believe, the change from a garden to pavement stones would have affected the Feng Shui of your home. Many Chinese who stay in Indonesia were not allowed to use Chinese/Mandarin names but instead to take on s…

Dear Anon, One of the basic questions involving the bed room has to do with the level or balance of yin / yang. Here, Yin relates to rest. While Yang relates activity. Therefore, " Yin " is favoured instead of Yang especially in a bedroom. Where rest should be more important. However, especially for the growing i.e. children or students, especially if they are studying, should have a mix of yin and yang in the bedroom especially if this location allows them for work and later for rest. A water fountain depending on its size, may create a MORE Yang condition and with an aquarium. There is no hard and fast rule to say that one should not use such items in the bedroom other …

Dear Noe, 1. For a weak earth element person, a fish tank is neutral to the person's element. It does not enhance a weak earth person. 2. Unless one has a fish tank / aquarium as a hobby, to a FS practitioner, it is usually meant more as a `cure'. While in the past and present, a Taiwanese FS master would usually use more of plants. While Hong Kong Feng Shui practitioners use more of fish tanks. For example, if there is a lone lamp post which seems to slice into the window. Here, a FS practitioner may recommend the use of a fish tank. 3. Please note that fish tank is thus used more as a `cure' to neutralise sha qi in Feng Shui. As its qi is considered `slow moving'. Unli…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Could you please tell me what is the 8 aspirations chart report, 8 house report and yearly flying star for? and I would like to know which report takes priority when I use it. The order of important is as follows:- 1) Flying Star is to assess the luck of your home using a mathematical formula. This tells you where is your illness/misfortune stars and even where is your wealth star. Any inauspicious star has to be neturalised while any wealth star should be activated. So you need to correct this irregardless of whether a room is suitable to a person or not. 2) Eight House is to tell you whether a house suits you or not, or whether there is a…

Dear Rochiel, In my opinion, it is very diffcult to apply `sector' Feng Shui to one's life. As Feng Shui is all about luck, it would be best that one applies a holistic approach in trying to increase one's luck. However, under Flying Star Feng Shui, there is the #mountain / #water combination and for certain houses, their will be abundant romance luck; while for other houses non-exisitent. What can we learn from this? It is not always easy to rely soley on " Feng Shui " for our romance luck. And pin our hopes in it. We would have to "actively" pursit romance.. either letting friends know etc.... As to having flowers real or artificial; in my opinion, it is acceptable in …
