General Help

Dear Anon, 1. Please refer to an earlier reply (under this same conference): Free Advice (General Topics) My reply to this question "What is activate? How to activate " 1/11/2002 2. My advise is to find out: 2.1 What is the PURPOSE of each concept or theory 2.2 What are it's weakness and strengths? If one is aware of these two questions, one would be able to understand better the various concepts. 3. The Eight Aspirations/Life Associations concept. 3.1 Purpose?: It is to understand that each Gua (Kua) or each trigram is associated with a `life association'. Such as the Gua tigram at North is associated with `Career'. 3.2 What is it's strengths? Unfortunately, it's streng…

Dear David, Earth is usually represented by Yellow or any shades of Yellow. Darker shades of Brown is often considered wood. Lighter shades of Brown more towards Yellow is Earth. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee - GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Alan, 1. The first approach is to use the Eight House Theory. This theory is quite interesting because: 1.1. It is used to find out " How suitable a house is to the breadwinner ". 1.2. Next, we look at the layout plan of the house and where the location of the bedrooms are for each person i.e. Husband, wife and children. For example, we try to find out what are the "intangible forces" at each bedroom. Thus, it would be advantages if the sectors in each room e.g. Master bedroom (Husband and wife) and other bed rooms suit each indivdual members of the house. 2. The various reports which you can generate under: http://www.geomancy-online.com are totally Free. This inc…

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 Anon, Usually, when the year the house was built is in question, we normally use two different period house which we suspect the house to be built and then do a comparison to see which is more likely to be thechart that is present in your home. If you can tell for sure when you had any major renovation done, then you can be pretty sure which chart influence is still present for your home. Period 6 (1964-1983) while Period 7 (1984-2003). Now we are in Period 8 (2004-2023). Generally, if you had any major renovation done in period 7, then it is very likely that your house belong to the period 7, else it will still remain as a period 6 chart. So unless there was a m…

Dear Emily, In my opinion, it is acceptable to leave it there and not to remove the singular windchime. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, Is it possible to post a picture of this view? This is because no two situations are the same. There are many things to consider i.e. 1. What design / thickness are these poles? 2. How tall are they? 3. What is the distance between them and your main entrance. 4. What is at the front of your main entrance e.g. clear space? or a low wall. 5. Is there a foot path at the front of your main entrance and does it meander? There are many more uncertainties. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Regina, Thank you for making an effort to search the forum before, posting duplicate messages. Often, it is difficult to fault anyone who has taken much effort to search forum messages. I really appreciate it. And, hope many forum users make that extra effort to search for an answer. This is good, because, then, we can see more "quality" questions, and hopefully, see a reasonable response. I will be more than happy to go thru it. At the same time, for many users listening into the forum, it will be more rewarding:) For info, I remember that there were at least 25,000 users listening in thru e-mail. Although, they do not participate, but, many only posts questions th…

Dear Henrietta, Please do a search on "Salt Water" and you should be able to find several previously posted info by Cecil in the forum. The forum contains an archive of lots of answers and a search can help you find them. This answer is also found if you search for "Yin Water Cure". Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, When there is a double 8, often, the idea here is that "clear space" reigns over having a "mountain" at this location. This is why, often, it is best for the living room or frontage - be in this double 8 area. Depending on your layout of your home, between a storeroom or an open area, double 8's are better located with "clear - space". Given this, if it is possible to have a back door leading to clear space, than, your proposal to have a backdooris a possibility. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chia Doreen, Chia Doreen wrote: Recently I bought a resale flat and its master bedroom has a custom made dressing table with big mirror. I cannot remove this mirror. It's about 45 degrees facingfrom the side of the headboard (above headboard are windows). Since you cannot remove the mirror, then there is very little options that can be suggested even if the mirror is inauspicious. However, based on your diagram. I think it should still be ok. At least it is not located where there is a window directly opposite the mirror which would be worst. The other good thing I can see is at least by having the custom-made dressing table at a 45 degree angle, it at least does…

Dear Rolando, Industry Analysis: ================== The object or item: lingerie belongs to the earth element or clothing industry. Company Analysis: ================= Core business: a. For the manufacturer If the core business is to design and launch new lingerie, this can be considered under Wood element. b. In your case, most likely, you are selling lingerie, than the core business is Marketing / Sales. Under this area, it is considered as a fire element. The type of colour or outlet would depend on the type of clientelle that you are considering. If you are selling `niche' market lingerie, targetted to the boutique style, than - it is best to discuss with your Interio…

Dear Mitesh, To be truly honest, it is best that you confide your problem with a close family member or even a friend. Especially at this time of need. Or do seek help from a voluntary org. in your country. Generally, many of us do encounter relationship problems and as mentioned above, try to confide in someone to hear your problems. Take care!

Dear Users, We are once again pleased to announce a new bonus report for Pillars of Destiny Premium reports.

This new bonus report seeks to clarify and simplify the details of the Main report to key areas which you should focus on or take note of. The currently version is still in beta and being developed, which means that not all areas are covered yet. It does have some additional readings which yo…

Dear Piet, 1. The attached two illustrations included in this forum message shows the preferred positioning of air-conditioners. (Note: Only available for viewing by web-forum users. Not available - to users who `listen' in thru e-mail option). 2. The attached illustrations has more to do with `commonsense approach' to Feng Shui. Where it is preferred that the air-con try to avoid blowing directly to a person's face. Thus it is a better option to place an air-con at the side of the bed. 3. In my opinion, to use or not to use air-con or fan is relatively `peanuts' or minor consideration in Feng Shui. 4. We are on this earth for a relatively short period and if everything…

Dear Joji, In my opinion, the description of work done does not seem to be a major renovation. However, if you do need a Flying Star report, do email: support@geomancy.net so that I can provide you with a complimentary report. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Frankly, there is no harm in doing so. Whether it works or not is another issue. As for painting the interior side of the door, perhaps can be quite ugly. For the mirror on the outside door, this seems better than the "red interior door colour". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Crisa, In very general terms, often, some Feng Shui practitioner will look at the direction or location the home is. But this is very general. For example, some FS practitioners could suggest that e.g. since Singapore is in the Southern part of earth, a main door that is white is ok. Since, metal controls fire element. Generally, it is quite common to find doors that are real wood (varnished in different types of wood tone colors) or simply light pastel shades of e.g. neutral colors like white or cream. For the proposed red colored main door, in general, it is best not to be painted if the door is located at the north (water) direction. If possible, it is not fav…

Dear Anon, 1. In a business, the most important question often asked is: Can Feng Shui help in my business? 2. Here, we have to be realistic about what Feng Shui can or cannot do. If other businesses of the same nature as our company is doing well as compared to our business; then Feng Shui can give a quantum leap provided it is applied correctly. 3. For example, if I have a shop e.g. goldsmith shop which is not doing well as compared to my neighbours. Yet, my neigbhour's shop is doing very well. Then, Feng Shui can be utilised to help our company. 4. However, is say the entire goldsmith market is facing a severe downturn; Feng Shui cannot do much to help. 5. For example…
