Dear Anon, You have brought up an interesting question. 1. What career suits me? Overall, in Ba Zi, there are two major types of career aspirations:- Career with wealth (either earned or unexpected) Career with power and authority. Under this category, it is interesting to note that under Ba Zi, a career associated in this field is linked more to a person who becomes a boss as opposed to working for others. Reference:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/paidreport-examples/paidreport-samples-career.htm 2. A professional look at your palm or palmistry can also look at whether you are more suited in joint ventures; working on your own or working for others. Warmest Regards, Ce…

Dear Anon, Yes, under the horoscope sign Ox and Ram are not compatible. However, you are a Strong Fire Ram, while your husband is Strong Metal Ox. Your husband benefit from you as your Strong Fire helps to keep his Strong Metal in control. Your husband is also your wealth to your Strong Fire. So though your horsocope isn't the most compatible, but your five element is compatible. Therefore, your incompatibility isn't the most incompatible pair. So it isn't really that bad. Also, you can improve the relationship by having more water element. Please refer to this chart for five element and relationship:- URL: http://talk.geomancy.net Hope that helps. Warmest Regard…

Dear Pam, Frankly, I would have to say, it depends! For a N3, P7 home, do check where are the activity rooms e.g. living or family rooms. If they are located at the back of this home, then, it is ok to keep to P7. However, the current P7 home has inauspicious #2 and #3 with #7 at the centrepoint of the home, thus is reflective of loss of wealth and sickness within the home. One may have to either consider changing to P8 or look at changing the main door direction to a N1 home (depending on the situation). Like I mentioned, more investigations should be made, first. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Breadwinner and spouse both Kua 7 and their daughter is Kua 3. On thehome's flying starfor a P7 NE3 facing house, it shows wealth luck,but now that we are in P8 does this still hold true? 1. This is the most common "mistake" that everyone makes: 1.1. Let's draw a parallel with someone visiting the A & E at a Hospital. For example, this poor kid was hit by a car.. and could most likely have suffered in three areas: damage to his brain; could have suffered internal bleeding somewhere and broken bones. 1.2. Bu…

Dear Anon, 1. Can you confirm whether there are any `poison arrows' threatening your main entrance door. 2. I would normally not recommend using a Ba Gua without a proper reason for doing so. 3. Usually, it is common for the Ba Gua to be hung for the following reasons:- 3.1 To help ward off `sha qi' or poison arrows aimed at the main entrance. Best to stand at the main entrance looking out of the house. Look out for poison arrow(s) in the form of a pointed roof of a neighbour's home aimed at the main door or a lone lamp post which seemed to be `slicing' the main entrance or any windows of the room. 3.2 In the `East' it is usually used in conjuction with:- - Charms writte…

1. Frankly, you must have a misconception of a Ba Gua (Pakua) mirror. 2. Do you really know what actually the ba gua mirror is (are) used for? 3. Traditionally, for the Chinese it is used under two main reasons : 3.1. Ba Gua mirrors with the 8 trigram markings on the outside with or without mirror is meant to scare away "evil spirits". There are many variants including those with the twin door gods, and all types of mirror or non-mirror in the middle of this ba gua. 3.2. To deflect sha qi or poison arrow. And the concave one is to "replace" the missing corner.

Dear Michael, In my opinion, many Feng Shui authors or websites have factored in the `true compass direction'. For example, in this website, all compass directions mentioned are based on `true' compass readings i.e. from an ordinary compass. What is `North - zero degrees' is North and what is `South - 180 degrees' is true South. Overall, if one is trying to follow a concept from a website or a book author, it is best to `read' or understand the author's concept totally. From start to end. And not read a certain concept from one site and piece it with another information from other sites. For this website, I like to confirm that all interpretations and analysis is based on…

Dear Bernie/Ann, There are some resources on the type of ba gua mirrors under the attachment picture. Try to check out the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures). Do a SEARCH for the key words as found in this attachment. A ba gua (pa kua mirror) should not be anyhow placed inside a home. For example, it should not be placed inside a home facing inwards into any of our rooms, living / dining, bedrooms. Or for any purpose, it is not ideal to place it inside the home. If you do a search of the above resource, you can find that a proper type of ba gua mirror (depending on it's shape and mirror and wordings or door gods have different purpose.) For exa…

Dear Carolyn, For painting red colour, it should be the "standard" red as found in the red/blue/green e.g. of TV sets. However, pink, purple can be considered in the spectrum of red colour. Red, is considered the most Yang of the `red' colour while pink or shades of it is considered `less yang' but still represent the fire element. As for pinkish orange, one may have to look closely or get a few persons to comment on the colour... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Peck Wun, Off-white refers to a colour that is white but has a tinge of grey. Or it can also be considered as white with very light shades of other pigments e.g. red, blue, green or yellow. When one look at off-white colour, it is exactly white but slightly duller white. Many of the new paints are white in colour but when we look it at an angle, it looks more like the e.g. pink. Here, very minimal pink is added to these colours. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Karen, Generally, what you mentioned is acceptable. The main thing is that so long as there is no direct path between the bedroom and the exterior or Qi comes and exit out, this is fine. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master Robert Lee, Thank you for the generous reply. You mentioned about "So as long as you avoid having any major renovations in this sector or East sector of the house (which is the opposite of the location in conflict:West), then you are usually quite safe." May I know what is East conflicting with in the West? I know that 3 Killings is in the West, does this mean we can'trenovate anything that is opposite of 3 Killings? We are planning to paint the room in the South White to counter the 5 Yellows there in 2008. Thanks to your free auspicious date calculator, we will start the painting and moving of furnitures on 27 Dec, 2008 since the next few dates are ve…

Dear Mr Low, Overall, the earth element has only one main colour i.e. yellow or shades of it such as: cream or beige. (No other colour represents it). A safe element is often:- 1. White (metal) element. Or a combination of water element and gold such as the colour of the wrought iron gate / grille where often: the background is black and gold is splashed onto it. Ideally, one has to take extra care of using fire (red, pink or purple) at such sectors. As fire may inadvertently fuel bad earth #5 or #2 if they are present at that sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Some Geomancers consider "water" in the bedroom as:- 1.1. Some defined water as a Yin element : thus to them water is not suitable to be used in a "yin" location e.g. such as a bedroom. Here, it is a "static" painting, and not real moving water. 1.2. There are some who consider a painting of a water fall, as "moving" water ... so to them their interpretation is that since a bedroom should be for rest "yin"; then moving water = Yang is not suitable in a bedroom environment. 2. Frankly, these are the two most common interpretations by different Geomancers. Again, there is no right or wrong answers. See which or both appeal to best to the lay person. 3. What is really…

Dear Chun Hao Wang, Chun Hao Wang wrote: I have a question about putting paintings of dragon and tigers in my room. I recently bought two beautiful paintings of a dragon and a tiger. I decided to hang them up in my room. However, when my mother saw it she said it is very bad to hang up dragons and tigers in your room. She told me only emperors can do that. It is very bad for me to do something like that since I am born in the year of the pig. Actually, it is best not hang any painting that contains fierce looking creatures/animals. For a very simple reason, because they contain a lot of Sha Qi. It is ok to hang any auspicious/happy loooking paintings as it just brings …

Dear Anon, For the bedroom, it would be best to avoid any water scenery painting or poster in the bedroom. Otherwise, often, other types of painting or poster has to be looked at individually. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Monica, Frankly, in Feng Shui, there is no specific need for `special' paintings all around the walls in a bedroom. If you have posted this message to a "Feng Shui emporium", I believe, you will be happy `slapped' with various items to buy on their site. In Feng Shui, one key success factor is "clear space". And cleanliness. I am not saying that hanging paintings is not `clean'. But for those living in Asia, and at low floors, such as 1st to the 4th storey, there are such insects / reptiles as : lizards. Often, if one has three paintings, at night, one may just get a glimse of a few `fat' lizards, coming out of the hiding of various paintings to catch their bait. No…
