General Help

Dear Anon, All over the world, many of us work either in an open office and use system furniture and are not able to or (have the luxury) of placing our table to our good directions. So this is indeed a consolation to you. Based on the holy trinity of luck:- 1. Heaven luck - what is given to us (Ba zi) 2. Earth luck - the office environment is only of the other factors. Other factors include our home. 3. Human or man luck - given that currently one is quite constrained on the earth luck i.e. unable to face a good direction for work, then, we should make use of our man or human luck to good use i.e. be a good team player and work smart ...not necessarily hard War…

Hi Anon, A large part has to do with the external factors such as the boss calling the shots. I am afraid there is very little you can do in terms of Feng Shui to cure the situation. You will have to work hard to changing the boss opinion of you through better human to human relationship. Hope that helps.

Dear Moon, Please see attachment. Is it possible to re-arrange the table as shown in the attachment or move your work table to a proper direction under marking "A". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, Earlier, the opening of business on a second day is meant to be an overall (general) date for most business on the whole without considering the date for the owner. Sometimes, if boss distingtively, is concerned about his/her own business, and who "reign supreme" in the business, would like you have mentioned, find a ba zi date that is suitable to him/her (the owner). Often the time is either based on: 1. phonetic sounding timing This is a practical approach since, a business can open at a normal timing, to suit most employees. 2. Based on Ba Zi of the owner Here, sometimes, it is trickly to open business at a time not suited to the employees. Luckily for a p…

Dear Marilyn, Marilyn Tang wrote: Ive been reading on the advises posted on the website. I am worried on the issues that state the bad connection between Monkey and Tiger. Please advise if we could guard against such tension in a marriage. I am Monkey(29/091980) and husband-to-be is Tiger(27/041974).I have visited a FengShui Master some time back but he has not caution us in details. Generally, though Tiger and Monkey signs are incompatible. However, human relationship is complex and if two persons are willing to give and take a little, and with lots of love differences can always be work out and relationship can last a long time. In our website, we will never tell yo…

Dear Carlos, 1. Numerology can be highly subjective. 2. And it should preferably not be used in most instances. This is because even in Chinese Numeroloy, the interpretation can be pretty diverse. 3. To give you an example: Although, one constantly hear of #5 as bad or `evil' under Flying Star Feng Shui; it is specific to this domain only. 4. For example, #5 also represents the harmony of the Five elements or the Five elements concept: Water, Wood, Fire, Metal and Earth element. 4. Thus, if one asks only a person skilled in Flying Star, he/she may concur and say that anything to do with 5 or double or triple 5's are no good. 5. But on the other hand, another practitione…

Dear Sophia, Look at it this way: millions or billions of people have never ever worshiped Tai Sui. Like yourself and your family, personally, I also have not done so. Nowadays, we read "clever" people putting the notion for us to do so. Frankly, it is so easy for them to tell us to do so. But, often these are marketing ploys. I believe, these "clever" people may not also have done so. We often hear of practitioners who give advise. But often the advise is only a short time e.g. 1 or 2 hours. Horror stories of "cannot use the toilet totally" etc... And the poor owner dare not use the toilet for life! Most of the time we should understand : "You stay there (your home)…

Happily to say Master, all you mentioned below aren't present with our situation today. At least, we're worry free now and the reverend figures are not offended. Thanks and warm regards, N.L. Lam

These are some considerations: 1. In my opinion, on the contrary, often or rather the "opposite" is the case. Here, for majority of people; they would think "thrice" or none-at all; the notion of putting their ancestor tablet in other people's home. 2. Firstly, as you had metioned; if we were to place ourselves in other's shoe; we would not want to "inconvenience" the "owner" of the home in imposing our "ancestor tablet" in other's home since perhaps we are renting only a room. 3. But, if you are renting the entire home; yes, so long as the tenant does not drill holes; and they bring in an altar plus gods and/or ancestor tablet; this has been done before. 4. But if the ho…

Dear Elena, No, many FS practitioners would not consider this a change of `birth chart'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

I'm interested not so much in bad chi as chi that's just a little bit off. The designer of the station secretly made the plans too create the most powerful feng shui site in the universe. However, growing two-hundred mile diameter kumquats isn't an exact art, and though his plans were almost exactly followed things were just enough off to ensure that craziness and randomness were the results instead. I'm especially interested in how the rooms would be generally arranged, but I'd also like to know about decorations and decor.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I am born in Western calendar 6/23/1982 on a free report it shows my element as Fire on others it shows that my element is Water for all 1982. Can someone explain? 1982 is a Water dog year. So if you take the year of birth as a basic element you are born in a water element year. However, in ba zi, we take the day of birth as your true element of the day. Meaning to say that you are born in the Fire day in a Water year. This is because even in the year, there can be a water/wood/fire/earth/metal element person. So that day element represents the most accurate form of the element of birth. So you are essentially a Strong yin Fire born in the …

Dear Anon, 1. In the past, many of us who have studied history may recall that there is a bronze age. 2. This is where tools were developed and metal tools and metal was even shaped into coins. 3. But, have anyone heard of a crystal age? 4. If we were to look at crystals or crystal objects, these come about in our very recent history. 5. Here, I mentioned that any use or application can be considered a modern invention. 6. Like the counterpart of a fountain; a small fountain cannot equate to a larger one. Because, there is fewer amounts of water that can friction with air. 7. Similarly, we can draw a parallel to a crystal. Often, the crystal that we buy (if it is meant to…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Me and my Husband are western persons but our bedroom is located in our disaster sector what could i do to prevent bad luck?! Eight House repesents suitability. It is really hard to fix it except to minise the use of the room if possible. Here are some of the other areas you should look at to attempt to compensate the luck from other factors:- 1) If possible locate the bed facing a direction that is favourable for your sleeping position. So even if the room is not so suitable, at least you benefit from the better sleeping position. 2) If the room is located where the direction is favourable to your ba zi. Or, if at least the house is suitabl…

Dear Lily, Quote: May I ask what happens if WS8 and MS6 fell in the sector of half of the toilet and half of the dining room (divided by a solid wall). Can WS8 be activated in the dining room? The other half of the dining room is MS2, WS3 and B7. As long as a resonable amount of sector influence cover the dining room, it is still possible to activate the stars in the sector. For Water Star however, you also need to make sure there is clear space available, because that is the requirement. A dining room may not be as effective a location compared to living room/balcony. With the open space consideration, you will not be able to enjoy the water star in this sector of …

Dear Joji, It is like "sucking on" a baby's comforter. If it makes one more "comfortable", it is ok to hang one. Frankly no harm from it. But don't purposely hang one the size of an ostrich egg. If it falls and hits on one's head, can sure give an amnesia. Else, one may have to place a "HARD HAT" sign for anyone passing thru it. *JOKE* Basically, any material is acceptable (SO LONG) as it is reasonably priced. Better steel if it is cheap!

1. The room layout(s) : Office and Home should always be considered also, when deciding how your tables are placed. 2. For those doing business, ideally, the first choice direction should/could be your "prosperity" direction. However as I had mentioned above, the layout of the room i.e. the location of the door, windows - are also be be seriously looked, or taken into consideration. Even the postion of things like air-conditioner (in-moveable object) and any beams, any poison arrows caused by corners of filing cabinet(s) etc... 3. Since the Tai Sui will be changing in a few weeks soon, this will become a "non-issue" for your existing desk placement.

1. Please note that this area is no hocus pocus. 2. It is strictly based on the Five Elements concept AND? 3. For example, there is a difference between a person who is a WEAK FIRE person vs a STRONG FIRE person. 4. Of course if one is a weak fire person; the his/her beneficial element or colours are Wood (Green, brown or wood tone) and Fire (Red, pink or purple). 4.1. IF one is a STRONG fire person, then, common sense under the Five Elements concept is that one should not have additional FIRE (Red, pink or purple). Water element is favourable for that person. 5. If you are into DIY, you have to understand the concept of the Five Elements. 6. As you can see from the…
