Dear Anon, You can check out this wizard:- http://www.geomancy.net/products/recommend-solutions/so-lawsuit.htm Franky, you have to see what you been sued for. Issues like piracy, counterfeit or things of this nature, sure to lose type, so realistically Feng Shui cannot help. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. It is always good to ask the following questions:- 1.1. What is the purpose of Feng Shui? 1.2. What are it's strengths? 1.3. What are it's weakness? 2. Please note that Feng Shui is only about the influence of Earth on our Luck (Earth Luck). 3. It is not a cure all for everything. 4. Heaven Luck 5. Perhaps, you can partially use Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny or popularly known as Eight Characters) to look at our Heaven's map. And from learning it, help us look at our given luck situation. For example, look at the Luck Pillars (this comes under 10 years, 5 years and yearly and also monthly or daily.) 6. But monthly and daily is in my opinion too much a hassle. …

Dear Janna, This is the basic story about the Magic 9 grid that you had mentioned:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-tortise.htm Our applied Feng Shui course has some information of it's origins. More importantly, these two maps especially, the Lo Shu diagram is used extensively under:- 1. Flying Star Feng Shui or Xuan Kong Feng Shui. We have a course on this. 2. 9-Star Ki This is one and the same school as Flying Star. But is a variant originating from Japan. It uses the Lo Shu diagram extensively and also the Five elements concept. The second most popular practise of 9-Star Ki is in the UK. Free free to do a SEARCH in this forum for specific terms like " F…

Dear Angelia, 1. Thank you for your feedback. I am very glad that you have enjoyed this site:) 3. Yes, there is really no harm in doing so. However, as you had politely mentioned that hopefully neighbours do not complaint or worse still, report it to the police. 4. It would be more unlucky if we are met by a police patrol man knocking at our door at such an auspicious hour. 5. To be more practical, it should not be done during this time for the following reasons:- 5.1 For the sake of babies, we must be considerate to our neighbours. 5.2 If one stays in a landed property, one can see many neighbours turning on all their garden lights and interior lightings of the house. …

Dear Josephine, 1. I am afraid, this type of question is not appropriate for this forum. 2. There is nothing which can be commented that does not dwell into `hearsay' information with no proper basis in Traditional Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sachin, 1. Please do a search for the recent posting on measurements that you had requested. 2. I mentioned that the optimum measurement for desks is exactly mulitiples of 1 Feng Shui sq. feet or an area of 17 sq feet. For example your measurements below should be in muliples of 17. E.g. 17 inches, 34 inches, 51 inches, 68 inches, 85 inches etc.. 3. Currently, the width of 34 x 34 is OK. But for the length, please subsitute it with any of the above multiples. 4. As mentioned above, the OPTIMUM auspicious area of a FEng Shui desk is to have it in multiples of 17 inches / sq Feng Shui foot. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cecil and Robert, I am having such difficulty with the placement of my furniture; especially the bedroom. taking compass direction seems to be difficult. This is because I've read that directions are measured by degrees. My questions are... Where do I place my bed? My auspicious directions are NORTHWEST, NORTHEAST, SOUTHWEST, and WEST. As I have tried to situate my bed. It is definitely impossible. Although I have a bedroom measurements of 11'- 4" X 14" - 6" I CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE PLACEMENT CORRECT. The WEST is a WALK IN CLOSET and the ENTRANCE to my BEDROOM. NORTHWEST is DIRECTLY BEHIND the DOOR. SOUTHWEST is the CORNER of the WALK-IN CLOSET, AND NORTHEAST is adjac…

Dear Marie, 1. Thank you for your sketch. However, I cannot really see the octagonal shape especially several of the lines were broken. 2. There are two dimensions in order to have a clear picture:- a. Shapes and Forms b. Flying Star 3. Under the Flying Star, usually if your house was born between 1984 to 2003; the centrepoint has current prosperity. However, in some of the layouts; there can be metal elements such as weak #7 detected there or a combination of #7 with #1. 4. If the centre grid or pie chart already as #7 with #1 this implies that there is already a virtual #7 metal with #1 water. And not necessary to have real water. 5. In addition if you are staying in a…

Further to what I had mentioned, 1. I can only think of one acceptable logic for placing a piggy bank at a prominent location: this has more to do with psychology. 2. Usually, if someone tells us that a specific location is our wealth corner; we would consciously try to keep the place clear of other items. 3. And often when we pass thru this location, we may either sublimally think of money (earning money) or happy seeing money on our table. 4. Other than this explanation, it does not mean literally, by doing so, e.g. placing multiple $50 dollars or more notes or stacking fake notes into this bowl or piggy bank. Money cannot automatically fall down a hole thru the sky la…

Dear Ivy, 1. Often, some elders (parents) may have a wrong perception that certain years are not good years for marriage or even give birth. 2. But if this is the case, many hotels and restaurants may close down. And for women and children hospitals, they remain idle for much of the year. 3. Frankly, this is not an issue. So long as one does not marry e.g. during Qing Ming and 7th month of the hungry ghosts, other months can be chosen. 4. More importantly, the two dates should match both you and your partner's ba zi. 5. I have provided you a courtesy combined ba zi report that analyses both you and your future husband's ba zi. Simply unzip the attached file and look at th…

Dear Mercedes, Frankly, this question is very general. Objectively, companies look especially for specific skill sets that can help them to enhance their business. This is not Feng Shui:- And nowadays, jobs also depends on the number of applications and suprisingly, it also depends on your cover letter and resume. From past experience, the human resource department staff or manager will take no more than 30 seconds glance at your letter and resume. Therefore, it is highly essential for you to attract their attention. Thus cover letter should be short and sweet and the first page of your resume should have a photo. Nowadays, you can easily scan it clearly. Anyway, wishi…

Dear Anon, 1. The best way to understand web sites that promote: e.g. Helpful/travel, fame and reputation is to check out their PRODUCTS page. 2. In my opinion, in many or most situations, you will invariably see some or even many types of goods (at very high mark-up price) with the aim of making profits out of everyone. 3. This is especially in the USA: If we ever want to consult a FS practitioner in your area; ask this question:- "Is your FS fees fixed?" This is because, the FS fees may be stated at US$150, but when the FS practitioner comes, he/she may cart along a full suitcase of "valuable" FS items. At the end of the session, your total audit bill may come to as muc…

Further to what I had mentioned; For the surface area of your `Feng Shui friendly' tables or for anyone wanting to manufacture Feng Shui friendly tables can use this explanation:- (One Feng Shui foot is nearly equal to an imperial foot. One Feng Shui foot is roughly equal to 43 cms.) Description of tables with multiples of 17 inches (lenght x width):- THE MAGICAL 17 INCH FACTOR "One Feng Shui foot was derived from the side of a square, where the length of the diagonal of a square is the square root of two. In the West, this is known as the `magic square'. Thus multiples of 17 inches will translate to several square foot of the optimium auspicious width. " Warmest Regar…

Dear Anthony, 1. Earth predominantly gives off sickness Qi. This is why #2 and #5 are predominantly bad earth elements. 2. If we look at a Chinese luo pan, we will notice that the outer shell is a rectangle. 3. While the inner is a rotating circle metal piece. As many of u know, circle represents Metal element. 4. A luo pan consists of: Outer square piece represented by the earth Inner metallic dial represented by Heaven. 5. In many of the cures, we therefore, see that Heaven Qi or Heaven Metal Qi is used to neutralise bad earth elements. 6. Therefore, metal, is the chief ingredient. Please see below:- To be effective:- 1. It must not those `play, play' type with so…

Dear Mercedes, 1. We can draw a parallel with Feng Shui. 2. For most of us, what comes immediately to our mind is enhancements, first and do not blink an eye to the techniques. 3. In Feng Shui, you can learn everything from a Master or even do the best Flying Star Chart, but in the end, it is not the best chart but rather, how one apply the appropriate technique which can yield success. 4. For example, you have asked which is the best month and date to take your nursing exam. This is similiar to looking asking a Feng Shui practitioner, what enhancements I can make to pass my Feng Shui examination. 5. Frankly, the month is not as important as the day. But again, what matte…

Dear Marian, Please see below, This is because it is so easy to quote raw data in only just a few lines and wait for a full assessment. Imagine, if every forum member does this, I am not sure how I am going to manage it. There are already specific tools available. Or make use of any competent FS practitioners anywhere. So, I really appreciate if users do not simple quote such information. Especially in this forum since it is specific only to that individual. As another person's home will certainly not share the same stars or Gua (Kua) number. It is best to use a three-step approach to form the basis of solid grounding in Feng Shui: 1. Understand the purpose of each c…

Dear Anthony, Happy New Year! Please see below:- 1. This is a possibility but frankly, no Feng Shui practitioner in modern times can say for sure. 2. The rationale is because this occurs only every 20 years. And many FS practitioners has not studied this change so closely nor do they have a sizeable amount of people who do so. 3. Good Feng Shui is always practised on the premise that: if it works for MOST of us, it can usually work for another person. 4. But, previously, such information cannot be collected en-mass for detailed analysis. For each practitioner, there can be no cases of this nature (since this is a novel idea). 5. Even if they have one case to study, i…

Dear Hoa Luong, 1. Under the Five Elements concept, there is this saying " opposites attract! ". 2. Frankly, is a very common situation if we apply the eight house theory. 3. When u settle down and find a home, best to find a house that suits the main breadwinner (unfortunately under FS, it is still considered the man of the house). For example, a good direction at the main door. For you, it is good if this sector is say the irritation or spook sector. 4. For the bedroom, the partner who has the best influence sleep closer to his/her favourable sector. While the other partner sleeps further away. 5. For newly married couples, it is not advisable to sleep in an irregular …

Dear Co Huynh, 1. If you are a weak metal person, the element that can give you a significant boost is earth. 2. Water element does not benefit you under Ba Zi. 3. Please note that water position in the wrong location of a house can affect one's marriage and even wealth. 4. Usually, it is best not to use water in the back of the house as most of the time it is inauspicious. 5. The most effective use of water is still at the frontage of the house or using Flying Star Feng Shui to detect metal positions:- 5.1 The most beneficial way to activate water dragon is to locate #7 (weak metal) and #6 (strong metal). Under the Five elements concept, metal supports water. This is a …

Dear Hoa Luong, Generally, at Geomancy.net, we focus on fixing the entire 20-year sector problems which usually affects the entire period. The yearly star changes each year, so if you can fine tune the cures and fixes for each year you can obtain the best overall cures or enhancement for your home. Note here that there are many people who worry that after 2004 their house will change to a period 8 house. This is wrong. Flying Star focuses on the Birth chart of the house just like Ba Zi focus on the Birth chart of a person. So for all those staying in a period 7 house (1984-2003), so long as you do not make any major renovation changes to the structure of the house, it wil…
