Hi Mike, For everyone, there are will be an Eight House direction and Ba Zi element direction. For some directions, Eight House may say North is Excellent while Ba Zi may be weak Fire so North (Water) is unfavourable. If you encounter such as similiar situation, then North isn't the best overall direction to choose from, compared to say a Health direction with favourable element ie South (for weak fire person). Where two reports tells you it is auspicious, this would be considered the best overal direction. TheBa Zi and Eight House reports can only give you a guide as to which directions are better for you. As to whether or not you can make it, will depend a lot on yo…

Dear Anon, Most likely, your friend or friend's family don't have any elderly in need of aid such as wheelchair bound or walking stick! In addition, some elderly or even those who may have some illness such as diabetes that may need to go toilet often. Tell them to "enjoy" walking up and down the home. In addition, for us Chinese, we do cook alot : lots of wet ingredients. Tell it to us, to first bring up our marketing items.. hopefully prawns don't leak it's contents on the walkway etc... Later, need to dispose of it. Don't get me wrong, I like the "idea". But. as especially for the Chinese, many of us live with our parents, especially to look after them. Not to "…

Dear Anamika, 1. Thank you for bringing this up. 2. From what I understand (previously)... I have not really looked into detail his `formula' or method; but from what I understand (correct me if I am wrong), he is quite innovative and created a variant of partially using the Natal Chart and some parts of the Lo Shu numbers i.e. a bit like combining Eight House and Flying Star theory. While the Natal chart used here, is soley for the purpose of the 4 good and 4 bad directions (East or West House) or Eight House Theory. 3. In my opinion, it is always good to follow thru with one method ie. and where possible try not to `mix' one person's method with another. For example, sa…

Dear Kenneth, In the past, I had actually written quite alot of guidelines and practises on the number of fishes and even the type of stand used a various locations. In general, one School of thought (Flying Star) use the numbers: 7 gold fishes represent metal element and 1 black gold fish represents water element. Thus often, one recommendation could be: 7 gold and 1 black. Since the probability of one of the 7 gold fish(es) dying is much greater than say 1 black, then even if the 7 gold fishes are or were reduced to 6, 6 still represents big metal. Hence, under the productive cycle, metal supports water. Well, frankly, the above talks often only about gold fishe…

Dear Glyn, Do you have a sketch layout showing this part of the home in relation to the windows (if any); doors and the location of the toilet. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. In an ideal situation, of course before buying or (renting) a home, it is best to consider the issues that you had mentioned. 2. Otherwise, based on the Eight House theory, this theory has it's limitations i.e. either you sleep in that sector or away from it. 3. Given that there is no way, nor room to relocate say your daughter, then, if Feng Shui is applied, then; 3.1 If you are DIY Feng Shui, then consider ways to fix "leaks" or improve health/safety: -http://www.geomancy.net/wiki/Main_Page#Key_Success_Factors_in_D.I.Y._Feng_Shui 3.2 Or alternatively seek professional Feng Shui help.

Dear Diana, In my opinion, you may have to treat it more as a decorative item. Alternatively, if it is a solid object, can be used to activate the mountain star (provided it is found) under the Flying Star Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Simon, Feng Shui is about the Earth luck. Human interations and human relationships are about Human (Man) Luck. In my opinion, for a stadium, if it based on Feng Shui, this will have to do with:- 1. Yin and Yang concept Sufficient lighting e.g. flood lights to the field area without too much glare to the players / participants. 2. Congregation/ Dispersion of crowd Even for the spectators, many stadiums often have gates spaced out e.g. North, NE, East, SE etc... This has more to do with commonsense than Feng Shui i.e. human traffic movement/dispersement 3. Location Again, this is commonsense approach e.g. location should not be too windy, should have good transport fa…

Dear Michael, In Mandarin; gift of a clock (phonetic - sounds like) "sending one to a funeral ". Thus, many Chinese never accept a clock as a gift. As since you are not a Chinese, the main excuse is that you do not use the Chinese mandarin language and thus, is ignorant of this. I believe, this has to do more with "culture" and "culture shock" than Feng Shui. Since, one culture's practise does not necessarily mean anything bad to another culture. Thus in the west; a clock or "sounds like" does not resemble anything inauspicious - I personally feel that it should not be a major issue for another culture. Be it a western culture. For example, in some Chinese dialect group, …

Dear Chong Boon Soon, Chong Boon Soon wrote: What is youradvise ifa house has a period 8 setting (which is good for 20 years beginning 2004) but also has a unfavourable influences such as facing T or Y? External Shapes and Form influence will always have more impact to an home compared to flying star or eight house influence. A house with good external shapes and form feng shui is a house is the key to enjoying a quantum leap in feng shui. That is why we keep stressing that a good house begins from the external environment. A house with good flying star feng shui only deals with luck within the four walls of your home. No matter how much you enjoy the luck, the luck …

So long as when one is sleeping, it does not seem to "slice" e.g. like a knife or blade towards one's body. Thus if this can fold down, then best to be folded down when not in use.

Dear Daren, You mentioned that your house is facing West. In all instances of West House:- W1 (247.5-262.4) - West Main Door Facing (255) W2 (262.5-277.4) - West Main Door Facing (270) W3 (277.5-292.4) - West Main Door Facing (285) In all the above instances, overall, under the Eight House, the house is considered unsuitable as it is your disaster sector. Check to see which intangible force is affecting you in your bedroom. This is an initial finding. Usually, there are other `leaks' involved and should be corrected. 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…

Dear Anonymous, 1. In the ba zi, the birth element percentage is calculated during when you are born. So that gives you the percentage which you have at the time of birth assuming other factors such as the current year are not considered. 2. The percentage at each 10-year luck pillars is further calculated to attempt to give you an understanding how that particular 10-year element might influence your overall ba zi luck at that present time. 3. This is to give you a better understanding how your overall elements are at any present time. This will allow you to further fine tune your five element during that period so as to get the best overallresults. 4. Any percentage…

Dear Sam Yeong, Sam Yeong wrote: Duringperiod 7,if ws7 is atthe facing andms7is at thesittingwewillconsideritis a good fs house (wang ting wang cai). As long as you haven't made any major renovations to change to the new period. A period 7 house will remain a period 7 house luck. So the double7 will still be auspicious. Remember in feng shui say a period 7, star 6 is fading prospertity, star 7 is currentprosperity and star 8 is future prosperity. So you should look at the star 8 because it is the future prosperity star in addition to the star 7. Only difference lies in that star 7 on its own will start to revert to a Robbery Star. So luck will be a little less auspici…

Dear Users, We have made some revision to the Pillars of Destiny module, regarding some errors in the description. Here are the general guidelines to better use or understanding of the stars found in your charts. 1. Flower of Romance. ===================== Description : This stars represents romance, social meeting or any social life. This information is particularly useful when it is found in your Luck Pillars:- Favourable Stars:- This could mean a chance to meet your suitable partner (not necessarily leading to a marriage). Unfavourable Stars:- This could mean that a romance which you have during that year could mean a disaster for you, eg. break up, or unhappiness etc.…

Dear SL, When the Flying Star course starts, in early October, you can find out more about how to draw the Flying Star Chart. It uses a formula and is not directly related to the I-Ching. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Under the Eight House or East/West 4 persons concept, priority should (where ever possible) be given to sleeping in a good sector. And only after this, then it is nice to have one sleeping in a good direction. Since, most of us have already moved in or impossible to change rooms etc.. there is not much more than what one can do or `squeeze' out this concept. To improve one's luck further, it is best to use other concepts - instead. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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 Sharon, 1. It is best not to sleep with the feet towards the door. As under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, having one's feet facing the bedroom door is symbolic of the `coffin' position. 2. I can quite understand that perhaps, some western Feng Shui practitioners may `pooh pooh' the Ba Gua mirror. As this is not ingrained in the Western culture. But in the East, the Ba Gua mirror is commonly used. 3. However, in Traditional Feng Shui: I am not talking only about this site but; many (many) Traditional Feng Shui Schools especially those practising some form of Xuan Kong or Flying Star Feng Shui would look at the use of e.g. 6 rod wind chimes. 4. In my opinion, for financ…
