General Help

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 …

Dear Anon, 1. One should normally, not combine the two. This is because when we usually look at location's qi, we take into account the magnetic influence and qi flow within that room. 2. Human beings is considered as having a `different' type of qi i.e. a human being that is alive and kicking has their own body qi or a combination of yin-yang qi. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Further to what I had mentioned; we can draw a parallel to taking an examination or (test). For example: A person is taking a language examination (e.g. a second language other than the mother tongue such as Spanish or Mandarin.) In order to pass this examination we have to take the following tests:- The Mandarin Examination paper comprises:- SECTION 1: 1. An Oral conversation test. (10 marks out of 100 marks) Objective: This test is to show our ability to speak or converse in Mandarion. SECTION 2: 2. An essay test. (40 marks out of 100 marks) Objective: This test is to test our ability to write in mandarion. SECTION 3: 3. A final exam paper consisting of m…

Dear Helen, The fixed template as you had mentioned is not Traditional Feng Shui. We do not practise it here. 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 Jen, Please see below:- I am glad that you find the information useful:) Please see sample sketch illustration: 1. In the sketch, one can find a lone (single) lamp post directly outside of the main door. 2. A single (lone) lamp post is symbolic of a `butter knife' e.g. the tall thin lamp post symbolises a knife that seems to slice into the house (via the main entrance). 3. Thus a house will be under `threat if a lone lamp post either slice thru the main door or a window in a house. 4. A REAL threat exists if (please refer to the attached example) a lamp post is between markings A to B of the main door (range). Recently Wasis, posted `an article' ab…

Dear Anon, Based on my personal experience, you should go for SW. Often, I do find Catholics and Christians, placing a cross on their door facing outwards of their unit. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Frankly, if one lives in an apartment, there is no choice to relocate the toilet. This is unlike a private landed property where, some renovations can be done to shift the toilet position. 2. Just several weeks ago, this client was telling me that one of their friends had a Feng Shui practitioner `Feng Shui' their friends home. 3. The practitioner asked the couple not to use the Master bedroom toilet forever. And close the door (permanently). 4. This is not a good solution: 4.1 The best is to check for any other leaks in a home and fix them. Here, we should fix other leaks and try to increase our luck in other areas. 4.2 If a toilet is there, it is there. A…

Further to what I had mentioned:- 1. Please do a SEARCH under this forum for words like ` Xia Li ' or ` Hsia ' or ` intercalary ' to understand more about the Hsia calendar system widely used by `Hong Kong' or Hong Kong related practitioners. 2. Many of those that learnt the Hsia have migrated or returned to countries like Canada (many Hong Kongers have migrated there), the United States. Because of it's education under Britian, this is largely the voice of " Geomancy" in the pre-1990's era. 3. Often, the China or Taiwanese form or the `Fukien' or Hokkien School which uses the Lunar Calendar was not well known; because many Taiwan (where many practitioners fled to under …

Dear Wasis, Apologies, we have been extremely busy for the past months such that I did not have much quality time to do the final touch-up of my books. The launch date for the books will be delayed. And I will post a message once, it is nearing the launch. Warmest Regards, Cecil

When I read this message on item 4.2,in which I am quite curius to know as my house is facing west 270 and infront my house there is a big tree in my neighbour area. In fact, it is quite disturbing when I santd my main door. I can see the tree. Anyway, I had placed a mirror pa kua besidt that, is there anything I can do to block the bad chi.Thanks. Warmest Regards, anvp

Dear Serene, 1. Thanks for the sketch and image from your main entrance. 2. Based on your description of the ba gua mirror i.e. the convex type; plus the two kirins outside their door; it is meant more for `protection' by your neighour. 3. In my opinion, since your unit is not directly in-front of this unit; there is no issue here. 4. For example, it is common place for many homes (landed property) to e.g. a pair of lions on the pillars of the gate of these homes. And your home is (if it is a landed property) not directly in the `line of sight'. 5. Your view is more of a side view and thus not affected by these placements. The vacant unit i.e. directly opposite this neigh…

Dear Anon, It is said that our luck is made up of three components: 1. Heaven Luck (can be examined by Ba Zi or Eight Characters / Pillars of destiny). 2. Earth Luck (Feng Shui) 3. Human (Man) Luck - (Relations with family ...) What you had mentioned is specific only to Para 1 (Heaven Luck). Traditionally, it is thru the use of colour assocations or best colours. In addition, for a strong water person; Fire is his/her wealth element. Yes, individually, colours can be used. But a metal - water wood combination is not favourable for a strong water person. (Specifically, metal element is not favourable as it helps fuel water element. (If one takes a simplistic view of J…

Dear Anon, 1. Please do not be unduly alarmed. 2. This is because, in the earlier case study; I specifically mentioned that there were instances of an `unclean' temple. 3. Since, you had clearly indicated that a temple or place of worship does not exits; you should not be worried about the situation, 4. If the is no temple, just look out for an additional situation i.e. a lone tall tree (trunk) at the NE or right side of the home. 5. Another senario of the above case study is that the set of Flying Stars at NE of the home that I had mentioned were `too yin' or had many yin stars that flew into that sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. From a Feng Shui perspective, it is more important to understand the flow of qi within this house. 2. This is where, a layout plan is important. A layout plan can help us to `visualise' the flow of qi within the home. Instead of relying totally on the idea of three windows in a straight. 3. Questions asked (or posed) are: 3.1 Are the windows spaced quite far from each other. Usually, the distance between all three windows in a straight line can be quite far. And in theory, it may seem that qi can flow straight in and out. But, in reality qi often meander and perhaps only a small percent is `leak' out if any. 3.2 It is good to look at the furniture in each …

Master Lee, what you mentioned in this article about you being able to "see" or "feel" evil presences because you are a weak wood person was very interesting to me. My husband is a weak wood person, and I am weak metal. We are both "weak" people, but my husband is the one who often claims that he "sees"spiritsand even felt "attacked" by a spirit before. However, I have often dismissed his allegations in the past. I never once saw or felt any spirits in my life, even though I often come in contact with people who could see such things. Even when I lived withmy father for 21 years of my life - my father is a fanaticwho indulges in Thai cult buddhism -keeps lots of weird st…

Dear Anon, You should consider it as north facing. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Meei Jinn, 1. As mentioned earlier, the key success factors esentially is: location, location and location. 2. Overall, in the past, I have elaborated that we should consider the heat source on our home. Often if the home is east to west direction (with the sun rise and sun set); And if the house is facing east (sitting west) or vice versa; and on a sunny day (assuming there are no trees to shade the frontage or the back; this type of house can be pretty hot all day. A hot home; is not ideal unless one is prepared to either withstand the heat or have the luxury to turn on the aircon. 3. Besides this, drainage such as a drain or canal behind the home is another consi…

Dear Anon, 1. The key success factor in a home is: location, location and location. 2. There is a difference between a "good house" and and "excellent house". 3. An excellent house is overall a `good house' plus it takes advantage of it's environment - to give it better Feng Shui. 4. An excellent house often makes use of it's external surroundings to give it a greater advantage i.e. it `sucks' or `soak' in wealth. 4.1 For example, it's main door is posited at a specific location that `collects' wealth from other developments or houses. Much like water draining (wealth) into the house. 4.2 Often, if the above is rare or cannot be physically achieved; the next best thing i…

Dear Low Low, The problem here is Ba Zi analysis can be done on a basic level or on a comprehensive level. In order to determine whether you are weak or strong many analysis has to be done. 1. Computing the number of elements broken down into the five element. 2. Assigning proper weightage to the element based on the Seasons of Birth. 3. Determining if there are any elements which combines and clashes to form certain elements. 4. Checking the House of Life and House of Conception influences on the five element distributions etc. 5. And a few more rulesets. Only when you work out all these, can you determine properly whether an element is weak or strong. Take this for exam…

Hi Low Low, Generally, people always wants if possible to select auspicious dates whether it be for moving into the home, opening the door, opening a business etc. So generally, auspicious dates can be used in any of the areas. So long as you think it is an important event and need a date to do so. The Auspicious Dates analysis report is meant to do that. It does a detailed comparison based on each person's ba zi. As no one single person has the same luck. Then next is to check on the Tong Shu Dates to ensure like for example no one likes to move in during say the Qing Ming month etc. In your question, moving in is usually defined as selecting a date which you officially…

Dear Anon, You need to have more Wood (green/brown) in your clothing on a personal level. And/or to create a triple combination flow ie:- Metal (white/gold) -> Water (blue/black/gray) -> Wood (green/brown) Once in a harmonious flow of combination, it does not matter if the decor is more blue, as the water will be converted to Wood, and the Wood is neutralised by Metal. Thus, the elements become in harmony with each other as opposed to having too much of a certain element. Thus, in Feng Shui, it is important to note that it is more important to have a balance of 20% of each element. However, that is sometimes too difficult to achieve that. Thus, we apply feng shui ba…

Dear Anon, 1. Often, it is preferred not to have a mirror facing an open window or at the side of an open window - (based on "commonsense" approach to Feng Shui. 2. The main reason is "reflected light". Often, an external light source may inadvertenly shine into the home and is `captured' by say the mirror. If the light intensity is high, it may reflect `glare'. If we are `unfortunate' enough, we may be sitting down with the direct glare into our eyes and it feels so, uncomfortable. 3. Especially so, if there are shiny objects such as the profile of a vehicle. Light from it's body panel or windows may provide such a `glare'. 4. If you are confident that either reflected l…

Dear Danny, Please see below:- It is preferred that the master bedroom is a rectangular shape (without odd corners or extension). This is especially so for a newly married couple. Since you have a son, there could be other underlining reasons. Often, the Flying Star Feng Shui is used to diagnose sectors that have bad #3 and #4 wood elements which are associated with quarrels and disputes. This is one direction, that you may consider pursuing. Most probably, some of the bad stars had flew into especially the fish (tank) location. Warmest Regards, Cecil
