Dear Jude, The key word is: Location, location, location. What is most important are both the external and interior Feng Shui of a home. This involves: Shapes and Forms and Compass School of Feng Shui. The Compass School of Feng Shui is based on both the : Kua (Gua) and Flying Star Feng Shui. Currently, what you are looking at is just the Kua (Gua) of a person. And the directions you mentioned are considered very "simplisitc" as it does not take into account Flying Star Feng Shui. Where under Flying Star Feng Shui, directions are equally important not just the Kua (Gua) of a person. What you are doing therefore only takes into account directions based on persons wi…

Dear Cheng Teik, Even if heavy knocking was done prior to Feb 2004, do check the following: 1. roof - is the roofing done on or after this period. 2. main door? does the main door remain or will it be changed after Feb 2004. 3. Is the main door or other fittings e.g. no window frame or window fitted especially at the frontage or the main door has not been fitted yet. 4. Has the kitchen being fully renovated and stove placed in? If any of the above remain uncompleted, then, it is safe to say that one's home will going to be a Period 8 home. Even if a home is a Period 7 home, it can still `fly' to Period 8 (but not the other way around). Doing some of the activities mentio…

1. In Singapore which is at the equator, the geographic north is very close (or equal to) the magnetic north. 2. If you have the time, can go thru some of the resources, under this link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=27494&new 3. If your condo is fairly new (less than 10 years old); most likely, the siteplan is still available from the sales brochure or on the internet. Or goto http://onemap.sg to use the streetdirectory plan and a protractor to obtain the correct compass readings. 4. Your readings often differ due to magnetic influence from steel structures embedded in the columns and even floorings. 5. Alternatively you may…

Dear Hoa Luong, 1. Thank you for your description of the two rooms. 2. Under Ba Zi Feng Shui, the better room would still be at the West. As west is represented by the metal element as you are a weak water person. Your second best favourable sector is North. 3. Overall, it is secondary or minor concern if any on where your kitchen/garage dinning room etc.. is in relation to the room you are choosing for your office. So long as the Flying Star of the house is looked at and imbalances cured, this is not much of an issue. 4. For the room in the west, my only concern here is the afternoon sun. If the walls of the room is heated say around afternoon to around 5.00pm and if say…

Wow I'm glad Kevin has added on to my thread, I'm learning a lot more. So even if the verdict is that it's a lesser devil to place the main door at S1, there's is no harm to have a water feature on SW to activate the indirect spirit right? My reason is - if calamity is going to fall on you anyway,you might aswell have somefinancial luck to cushion the bad luck coming. What do you think Master? Regards.

Further to what I had mentioned, for those with difficulties in purchasing the "correct" conCAVE bagua mirror may look at Para 7.2 for more information on "alternatives" to the earlier Ba gua mirror that I had shown in a photo i.e. encased in a red "plastic" ring... Reference URL: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=22507&new= 6. ConCAVE mirror 7. In general, some use this to "SUCK" wealth. For example, some homes have missing corners e.g. North-West sector. And one way is to use a conCAVE mirror placed strategically to "suck" back the wealth. 7.1 As North West is an important sector, the heaven luck sector and the Head of the h…

Dear Anon, 1. Before actually answering your question, I think you first need to know about the difference between the 20-year, yearly and monthly. a. 20-year Base Star - Gives you the permanent influence of that sector depending on when your house was built. b. Yearly Star - Gives you the influence of the Yearly star changes which only impacts that particular year. c. Monthly Star - Gives you the influence of the Monthly star changes which impacts that month. Once you understand this, you will then know that priority is to always fix up the 20-year base star as this impacts the long term. The Yearly only shift some luck slightly for the better or worst. Usually to make i…

Dear Anon, Try to visit this resource:- Discuss :: Free Advice (General Feng Shui) Conference: Part I - Facing direction of a home dated 4/22/2004 Part II - Facing direction of a home dated 4/22/2004 For a better understanding on this matter. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hello I'm confused as to which time I'm supposed to put to calculate my ba zi chart. Are you supposed to always use Beijing, China time or do you put the time for where you born? I was born in New York, USA after 2am on March 17, 1981. Do I use that time and date, or do I have to convert it to china time and date? 1. The only true way to factor in location is to apply the long. (longitude) and lat. (latitude) of birth. However, in reality how many people actually record the exact long. and lat. of birth? I mean even if you know you are born roughly in a hospital, the hospital also have different long. and lat. depending on which part of the b…

Dear Bea, Actually, we should also consider the current state or condition of the exterior of the building: Is the building in good repair or is it totally worn out? Often, if the exterior is given a new face-lift or is very well maintained, and also the lift lobby and other walkways -- this is a sign that we May consider it as being in a period other than say built under 1964. If the whole block of the apartment looks really run-down, than, for sure, we can consider it as under 1964. In addition, does your interior condition match the exterior? If the exterior looks reasonably clean and bright, and similarly your apartment has new coat of paint, then, this is a "step…

Might it also be an idea to look at your Houses 8 luck sectors and sector elements as well as your personal 8 lucky directions?

Hi master, want to get your opinion on these 3 units 237,239 and 219, which one has the best feng shui? All 3 units are south facing Unit 239 is facing the road as shown here: Unit 237's main door is facing the long corridor: Unit 219 does not have any of these issues: Is Unit 219 the best unit out of the 3 then? My Gua number is 7. Also is level 44 a bad feng shui number? Appreciate your input master.

These two are actually about the same. But at least they are not as bad as Death or Disaster sector. So you might want to check, whether which bedroom location is more suitable to all family members etc. That can then help you decide which is generall more suitable to your entire family.

Dear Help, I believe what you had printed out is based on the Eight House Theory. Since you are building a new house, if you can get Professional Feng Shui help instead. This is because, if you are new to Feng Shui, there are lots of considerations. For example, 1. Shapes and Form It is not only about your house but the surrounding environment i.e. the landscape and especially the site. Consideration include any water positions at the front, side or back of the house, the other landmarks or buidings nearby. 2. The Flying Star of the House This consideration is equally as important as finding a suitable house that match the breadwinner. There are many more considerations…

Dear Cecil, thank you for your response. I do feel that the natural front ('frontage?) of my house is toward the East. I have a panorama view here over the sea and a door that leads out to the balcony. Every morning the sun rises directly to fill our whole house with light. The land in front of this door also slants down and toward a garden and finally the beach. However, I know it won't work to use this door as a main door, as it would mean walking around the house every time we want to exit and enter. However, when inside, I do basically feel that East is the front. Is it therefore, as you mentioned - possible to consider this the front of the house when attempting to d…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Could you please advice that having three ducks is good or bad. i bought a set of ducks and it had three white ducks in it. I have placed them at the front door. I thought that having a pair is good. Could you suggest that should I throw the third one and what could be the best place to place the ducks. In general, for any animal it is best to have them a pair. It is not auspicious to have 3 as it would be like there is a 3rd odd one out. If you relate it to a relationship, it is like having a 3rd party. So not not really advisable. It is best you either keep the 3rd duck and only display the 2. As to whether to display, this is really u…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Sometimes, the clues are at the bottom, instead of the top. 2. Many concepts good or bad are related to commonsense (cow-sense). 3. For example, three (table) legs are inauspicious. While best is 4 legs. 4. For a "single" leg such as what you had mentioned; again, it depends:- 4.1. for example, there are antique Chinese furniture such as dining tables with OCTAGON legs. But these legs are relatively large and stable. 4.2. Gravit and legs. 4.3. In your attachment, in my opinion, it has more to do with center of gravity. Thus, if more weight is accidentally placed on one side of the table, this table can topple down. For example a c…

Dear Anon, It is common to associate `white' with purity particularly with the west. Chinese in some ways do associate white or `straw' clothing where it is worn during funerals. So far, under Chinese customs or practises, fences are never painted white. Personally, I have yet to see a white fencing both locally or on my trips abroad. I believe this is certainly a `taboo' colour even for FS practioners. The most common colour as you have mentioned for a picket fence is green. Most fences I come across can also be in black. Hmm.. as far I can remember, I seldom see a blue fence. In my opinion, green or black is a "better" choice. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Songwut, 1. In my opinion, the confusion you faced is because of how the Dragon and Tiger are interpreted. 2. There are two ways at looking at the Dragon and Tiger concepts:- 2.1 A pictorial representation. 2.2 Based on compass directions. 3. A PICTORIAL REPRESENTATION 3.1 In the past it is common to use pictures to tell a story. This is the easiest way to illustrate the subject on Shapes and Form Feng Shui. 3.2 Thus, one hears of the good qualities of the dragon embracing the tiger. 3.3 Here, under a pictorial representation, if one is looking out of the house, the dragon is always associated to be on the right side while the tiger is on the left side. 3.4 Logicall…
