General Help

Let me share with everyone ... 1. My original forum was a third party forum started around 1996. We (Geomancy.net) started our very own forum two years later. This is where we have maintained every single message since then. 2. During that time, there were few Traditional Feng Shui websites and many "Fung Shoey" websites catering to the Fixed Template Fung Shoey appeared nearly every day! 3. For example, if one checks back quite alot of forum messages, it has to do with discussion on Traditional Feng Shui vs Black Hat Sect (Lin Yun) and Fixed Template Feng Shui. 4. In the past, there were few resources dedicated to Traditional Feng Shui. And many western Feng Shui sit…

These are some of the considerations: 1. Fixed template vs Flying star Feng Shui Flying Star Feng Shui belongs to the Compass School and each home can be classifed as belonging to one of the 15 mountains of which, there is a flying star chart based on each home layout plan. If you are referring to those western based Feng Shui where they have a Ba gua map in a fixed format; for example: North = career etc... then all Traditional Geomancy or Feng Shui school don't use such things.

Dear Michael, In my opinion, Traditional Feng Shui Schools do not practise fixed Ba Gua template or `Black Hat Sect' Feng Shui. Try to do a SEARCH in this forum for `Black Hat' and you can find out the answers why it is not applied here or by any other Traditional Feng Shui Schools. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi ! I would like to improve the feng shui of my home (especially the career aspects) but the floor plan is very unusual and I really don't know how to place the bagua map or the adjustments I would have to make... As you can see on the map, my front entrance is at the end of a long and isolated corridor, and the door is tilted towards the exterior of the apartment. Thus, if I align the bagua map with the door, almost all of my apartment would be outside of it. How should I place the bagua map ? What would you recommend ? Thank you so much for your help ! Thérèse

Dear Respected Cecil, Thanks for your reply. I am becoming more familiar with eight house theory and elements of a special direction. What articles or books do you recommend so I can gain more knowledge and practise for myself at home. I am still searching for many answers and still very confused. I do not want to risk wrong applications.My main concerns are relationships and career sucsess.My kua is 3 strong yin metal, wood element.What are the best clors to wear? Green/brown or Red,white,silver or grey combo. Please help. Thanks Helpless

Another one of those ba gua with a concave mirror facing a long corridor...

I recently moved into a high-rise condo where my bedroom window is facing a funeral home. In addition to that my condo is on the 4th floor and has a 4 in the room number. I’m not allowed to hang anything outside my window because it may fall and hurt someone walking below. I am looking for guidance as to what Bagua mirror to buy and where to put it, I only know that the mirror should not be in the home. Any help would be grateful, thank you.

Hello Cecil sir, ok.i am not asking about fame now.how to protect my home from negative energies. pl tell what to do?.single family . North west entrance and south west garage.pl help us to protect My home not to enter evil energies?

In my opinion, it is harder to visualize your situation; just from lots of text info. I guess since you have some positive results from placing the bogus mirror; then continue with placing it and monitor your situation.

I have heard conflicting points on whether or not to include a garage and deck (or other space one doesn't live in) while placing the Bagua. We have an oddly shaped home with our three seasons room that extends out and garage that is attached. Curious as to input on how to apply the Bagua here? I believe this would effectively create a missing sector in a couple places. Thanks!

Oops! You may have wrongly posted your question to the wrong "type" of Feng Shui forum. This forum only practises "Traditional Authentic Chinese Feng Shui". It would be better if you post your question to a "Modern Commercialised so called Feng Shui forum". Frankly, your guess is as good as mine!

I live in a tiny studio apartment, but I think I've done a good job of giving each section of the place a distinct yet harmonious flavor. Throughout the years, I have had a frustrating quandary: some people say the bagua needs to be laid over the home using cardinal directions, and others say the entrance sta…

Dear Leon, "Sector Feng Shui" or simply said - Paying homage to a sector, in my opinion, has the lowest success rate (if any). Even at this basic level, at least considering whether a location is bright (Yang) or dark (Yin) and then determining colour scheme (although) not the best method, but has certainly a higher success rate than enhancing a sector based on it's "so called definition e.g. patriah etc...". Frankly, this type of "Feng Shui" is not practised here. Erh.... " next question, please. " Warmest Regards, Cecil Thanks for all your

Further to what I had mentioned, simply put: The First Trigram is akin to the classic. While the Later Heaven is for a "modernist". Thanks.

I do hope that you are not practising one of those "fixed template" ba gua sort of thing. Where incredibly one lays a fixed template with things like North = Career etc... onto a layout plan. Please go thru the following resources:- * Eight House or Flying Star * Flying Star Feng Shui * Flying Star Feng Shui as a Diagnostic Tool

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I've checked the Earth % in my and my husband's bazhi. It is 12% and 8% respectively - quite little. In that case, going into a bakery business may be considered OK right? It is still best to go with the favourable elements you lack first, rather than unfavourable elements that you lack. As you still need to have your favourable elements before you can benefit from adding more Earth element. So even though your earth element is generally lacking, you can still consider bakery business, but this would also mean that you need to ensure that your house or other areas in your life belongs your favourable element…

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 Anooja, Frankly, there are many concepts in Feng Shui, so it is ultimately important to understand which one is more important for what situation. 1. Most important for a house is to fix all poison arrows (sha qi) usually the shapes and form concept. 2. Try to balance up all Flying Star inbalances in the house. 3. Try to ensure that colour scheme are suitable to person sleeping in that bedroom, but at the same time colours to be extra careful are like Wood / Earth colours which may inadvertantly activate the bad flying stars. 4. Of course it is ideal to harmonise all the cures, but certain cures takes priority helps you know when to do what. If you follow the a…

Hi Edwin, edwin tay wrote: I would like to find out how should I balance the 3 elements of my work desk with Earth, Wood, Water, Metal, Fire? Also, as I'm a weak wood and the fire element in me is quite high, does the'fire' ornament I use to balance my desk increase my 'fire'? One should always rememeber that in Feng Shui, there are always important and least important cures. For example to improve a person luck, the main luck comes from the Home (ie a suitable house element), followed by career (ie sutiable career), and followed by other areas such as colours (of your bedroom, car, clothings etc). As long as you get the above right, even if your work area isn't complet…

Dear Jonathan, In Feng Shui, one can either access one's unit or the entire facing of the unit's block (or frontage). Usually, for a unit such as yours, it is best to look at your main door only and not the building's main entrance. Please see below:- But, if your balcony forms part or is " within " the house, then it should be taken into the 9 grid. You can do a search for the word " condo " and there are many case studies especially under the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with pictures). You should be able to find several resources on condos. Do use the SEARCH feature in this forum to narrow down your search field. If you have any layout plan that …
