Dear MK, MK MK wrote: May I know how to calculate the 5 elements? Frankly, this is rather complicated as you need to determine the number of elements you have for each elements, assign the element strengthen, and take into consideration the combinations and changes in elements. The simple way is take the total element and number of each element. Factor in at least the weightage of total element strength and individual element weightage and you should have a fair percentage breakdown.

May i ask whether do we use our normal birth date to calculate our 'Ba Zhi' or do we use our lunar or chinese birth date.

Initially I liked it as it makes to look your room big. Now we feel too much pressure on our head.I heard one option is to put flute, but the ceiling is too high for this.Is there any other option to cure. The best way is to have a false ceiling which will cover the beam entirely. The flute is the next best solution.

Dear Master Thanks for you advice. The house is a Period 6 house (built around 1968) and my best direction (prosperity) is north west. The house front faces South east, the back is towards north west and the toilet is in the centre of this north west sector next to the back door. I have been lighting a candle in the toilet and placing water in a wooden bowl inside as well. Will this help? Also, can a iron bell or windchimes help to activate this section of the house for me? I hope you can advise me further. Thanks again. Regards Peter

Dear Mr Lee I don't know whether I am correct or wrong. Somehow I feel that there are some inter relationship between Ba Zi, Flying Star, He tu, Luo Shu andwith Ying/Yangwhen COMBINEDcan produce another star. By the way, I understand there are : 1.Yearly purple white star flying stars table, (Nian Zi Bai lu Zhong Xing Shu Cha Biao) 2.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Good Day Shifu My kitchen is located at south. Can i activate this sector? If not, which sector can i activate? I understand that activate south sector is good for career. Thank you in advance. If the South is a good sector and it falls in your office/room then probably you can activate the sector for the career. However, if it is your kitchen, then how to activate it even if it is good for your career when you can't use it? So you probably have to activate other sectors that you are able to activate. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Please can you advise me on where to install my water feature. The best place to place a water feature that is auspicious for Feng Shui is to find where your water wealth location is within your house. For example, a Period 8 house, the current wealth is star 8, future wealth is star 9 and future future wealath is star 1. For period 7 house, the current wealth is star 7, future wealth is star 8, future future wealth is star 9. etc. So sectors where these 3 star is located are he better sectors within the house to place the water feature so as to activate the water wealth luck.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: In choosing chinese name, do we use the traditional strokes or simplified version? Can anyone tell me if there's any book or directory with list of chinese characters and the number of strokes? In the chinese name analysis, we use the traditional name stroke rather than the simplified name stroke. So if the character you are using is simplified, you need to first check if there is a traditional form. Then use the traditional form. The reference of name stroke is available as a reference in some of the chinese name books.Different chinese name books will give you different reference chart. Alternative, if you have a Kang Xi Traditional dict…

A lot of terms used by other practitioner can be confusing especially when you come to facingsitting.This is because you have to also make sure that you are using the right orientation of the compass.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I realised that kitchen is not good to place at the north. Generally, if you look from it at a fundamental level. North=Water, so a kitchen in the North will be like Fire vs Water which clash. However, frankly, this is only one level of looking at it. I mean given that there are only 8 directions in any layout, at some point some layout will certainly have kitchen located in the North sector. So does it mean that everyone who has the kitchen at North will be doomed? Of course, not. This is because the overall houselayout vs the house flying star luck isequally important. If the house is able to take advantage of the frontage or external Qi…

Dear Bansari, Bansari shah wrote: We have same wooden beam in my kids room too. which one works better 1) bamboo flute or 2) wooden support. Thanks for your advice. Bansari Generally, these are the two common ways to cure the beam problem. Both are equally effective. So can't tell you which is better. However, from design point of view the two wooden support looks less like feng shui cure and can add some decorative effect. However, if you really want the most effective method would be to build a false ceiling. From feng shui point of view, if you can no longer see the threat it no longer becomes a problem. So really, the most effective is to build a false ceiling to co…

Dear Gi Soh, Gi Soh wrote: I am looking at a condo unit which is facing west and a summit. Feng Shui wise is it ok ? Generally, all west facing homes will faceafternoon sun which can make the unit warm every day. This in itself is a potential problem as if a person feels hot, the likelyhood of getting angry or even hard to focus. So even for those West group person, it is still not so advisable to choose a west facing house unless it is somehow shaded. As for facing a summit (of a hill?), if so whether or not it is good depends on where is the mountain star is located from the flying star analysis. You see a house will benefit from the facing (clear space) and moutain s…

Dear Terry, Terry Law wrote: Can we activate the water star 8 when the annual 5 yellow or 2 illness star is there? Yes, you can still activate the water star 8. Water star usually is activated with water. So water feature will activate the water star 8 making ie stronger. This star will actually harness and drain the annual star 5/2. You won't activate the star 2/5 unless you add fire or earth element influence in that sector. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: What is the difference between Ba Zhi and Zi Wei Dou Shu types of reports? Ba Zi essentially, is using the 4 pillars in your chart made up of the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branches to chart out your luck and even some areas of fortune telling.

Often deemed more for fun type of analysis. Just like every year the horoscope forecast tells you what kind…
