Ba Zi Feng Shui / 4 Pillars of Destiny / Life Reading

Dear David, In Ba Zi, the chief concern is on one's true element and strength. As this is determined from Pillars of Destiny (Ba Zi) in relation to the relationship of all other elements and the season in which you were born. Thus, even if there is zero water element in one's Ba Zi, water does not equate the life `threatening' senario where we must have water to survive. Water is like any other components such as fire. Thus, in a senario where one has zero fire, it does not mean that we need to "go near" fire. Or eat `fiery' food or food considered as Yang or too much fried food stuffs. Esentially, if you are considered as a "weak fire" person, then wood is considered the…

Dear Anon, Further to what I mentioned earlier, red packet is also placed. Please see below:- In addition to the above, if you have the time, go to the conference called " Chinese Culture (General) and look for this message:- (Or do a SEARCH e.g. `usher') There are some pictures that you can look at. --- Same of message posted --- Topic: Some items used to `usher' into a new home (1 of 1), Read 17 times, 4 File Attachments Conf: Chinese Culture (General) From: Cecil Lee Date: Sunday, July 30, 2000 08:21 AM This pictures shows some items that are brought into a new house: 1.

Hello - my date of birth is 12 noon Oct 2 1964 in Manchester, UK I believe I may be a fake follow power type chart what does this mean? what is the best course of action to avoid any dangerous elemental day/month/year combinations that I've read could even be life threatening?? this all seems very worrying because in fake follow types the usual way to strengthen a weak day master can precipitate disaster?

Dear Hoa Luong, 1. Yes, this year, the Grand Duke is at South or 180 degrees. 2. Under the Chinese Astrology. If one look carefully at the 12 Chinese Astrology signs on the main page of http://www.geomancy.net/love/astrology.htm 2.1 One can notice that the Rat is directly opposite the Horse. Others: Pig is opposite the snake etc.. 2.2 Under Chinese Astrology, the animal sign opposite each other are suppose to be `opposites' or most incompatible. 2.3 Since this is the Year of the Horse ( 180 degrees - South - Fire element). And the Rat is directly opposite it. The Rat is at (0 degrees - North - Water element). 3. Here, one is aware that Fire and Water are opposites. 4. Th…

Dear Anon, I feel that you have asked a very interesting question. In this website, if one noticed carefully, we have chosen various colour schemes also for various sections of the website:- 1. For Feng Shui resources e.g. our banner or header is green. Green symbolises the east or growth or literally speaking " growth in one's knowldege ". 2. For the forum, the colour is blue. Which represents "water element" i.e. fluid. Where forum messages are always fluid and like the "waves" is never constant. Questions posted; for example are frequently new or distinctive. 3. This website uses various different colours. 4. For our astrology section e.g. http://www.lovesigns.net - …

Dear Anon, 1. I am glad that you enjoyed this site. 2. As you have not mentioned i.e. the house number report is more for apartments/flats. And is of secondary importance in Feng Shui. However, if you are staying in an apartment -- a symbolic remedy of house numbers is not to place then in a straight line:- For example: 5 1 3. Leave the 1 at the existing line and raise the 5 (sligthly) above it. Not necessarily as shown above where the 5 is one level higher. Depending on the font used: the 5 can be raised higher. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, So long as one is not staying or spending time below a beam, this is OK. As there is no `suppression' of Qi e.g. on a person's head. I am glad that you have clarified that it is a wooden beam. For a wooden beam, if one spents time below: the remedy is to place 6 coins on the beam i.e. stick on it. Or cut aluminium foil x 6 pieces of around 2cm diameter. The alternative is to cut it into the shape of stars. The rationale for this is because, for wooden beam -> metal is required to destroy it. Contrast this with a concrete beam where majority of it is cement or earth. And wood is used here to destroy cement i.e. what is seen externally here is cement or soil/s…

Dear Serene, 1. The best `neutral' colour in Feng Shui is white. White serves two fold: 1. it represents the metal element and is one of the safest element to apply. 2. Under the Yin and Yang concept, white makes the house `brighter'. For those who just got their condominiums, can choose to continue with the colour painted. Usually, condominiums use white interior or light cream. This still OK. 3. If one is really not too sure, so long as it is white; off-white or white + light shades of it mixed into white is exceptable. For lily-white, this is usually still OK. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angelina, House of Life & House of Conception are two ADVANCED pillars used only in advanced pillars of destiny anaysis. Of greater importance is the House of Life as that determines if you are a Strong or Weak person. As it denotes how your life is based on your Eight Characters. House of Conception is more useful for female analysis and it help to detemine areas like marriage and spouse relationships. Generally for any person there is 4 types of of relation, Weak yin Wood, Strong yin Wood, Weak yang Wood, Strong yang Wood. Generally the yin & yang helps more to tell about the characteristics of a person. As there is a difference in character for a yin …

Dear All, How come one is born `Strong' and another person born `Weak'. Pillars of Destiny, in essence is about applying the Five Elements concept to analyse our Earthly Branches and Heavenly Stems. In general, and in the more basic Pillars of Destiny involving only the Year, Month, Day and Time of birth, there are three main categories that could have resulted in one's element being weak:- 1. You are not born in the season that supports your element. and/or 2. There is `weak support' on your Earthly branches. and/or 3. There is `weak support' on your Heavenly stems. For example, if you are a Weak Fire person: (CLUE: Favourable elements: Wood and/or Fire element) Looking…

Dear All, 1. Can we apply this reasoning to Pillars of Destiny? 2. Here are two sentences to ponder:- 2.1 Sentence 1: I am Strong: " Strong, Stronger, Strongest " And 2.2 Sentece 2: I am Weak: " Weak, Weaker, Weakest ". If one looks at the above two sentences, it may make sense if we read the first sentence: I am Strong. But, how come Weak becomes Weaker and Weakest? Does this imply poor health? 3. The key to Five Elements concept, is about balance. Thus, under Pillars of Destiny, one should neither be too `Strong' or too `Weak'. For example, if a person is a "Weak Wood" element, then he/she will need Water (favourable element) to help his/her weak wood grow. Similarly,…

Dear Md Haque, To take a compass reading, one should take the compass degree of the main door. The definition of the main door is the door where, you enter the living room area. Usually, this door has the door number on it. For reference:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil

From my understanding people can be classiflied as East/West group person. For example I'm a female born in 1973, I belong to the West-group people and the most favourable house for me will be CHIEN which is a WEST house. The favourable LOCATIONS of WEST house are (NE,NW,W,SW) and favourable LOCATIONS of EAST house are (N,S,SE,E) My concern is if I have to stay in a EAST house, do I locate my bedroom in EAST house favourable LOCATIONS(NE,NW,W,SW) or WEST house favourable LOCATIONS(N,S,SE,E)? Hopefully, I get my question right this time.

Dear David, If you used many of the free analysis tools on our My FengShui website, all your answers will be answered:- Based on a quick check on the various free reports:- - You are a fire element person (whether weak or strong will depend on a full analysis of the Pillars of Destiny) - Your Kua Number is 5 - Your Chinese Horoscope is Monkey. Luck Pillars can only tell your heavenly luck. Your bad luck could be due to your current house you are staying may not be suitable for you or contain bad stars. Not just the pillars. Or simply a very unsuitable job element for example. Unless a more complete analysis is done with your Pillars of Destiny and Flying Star of the house…

Dear Diane, Yes, it can be worked out and already exists in our Group Analysis report which we have yet to release to the general public. The binding element would be two elements combination:- They are metal and wood. Or water & wood. - metal/water for weak water - wood for weak fire By strengthening weak water which destroy fire, you will enhance water strengthen. Then having Wood, it exhaust water and give strength to weak fire. So this way, both benefit from it. However, this means you need to apply two different elements instead of one common binding element. This is quite usual for many scenarios as well. However, usuall mean a not so favourable compatibility a…

Dear Carlisha, This generally tells me that you are not born with a silver spoon, which means that you life is not very smooth sailing, and that you have to work extremely hard to overcome your difficulties. And that often you will meet with obstacles in whatever you do. Please take note here also, that in the free version several analysis are not taken into consideration so, your actual chart may not necessary be so very bad as changes may occur along your life which alters your luck period for certain period. Generally, since you are a weak fire, so having more favourable elements in your life eg. wood, fire. Will be better than having more unfavourable elements…

Dear Diane, When you mentioned inauspicious area, is the inauspicious determined by Eight House or Flying Star theory? If it is determined by Eight House, eg. irration sector, then there is very little you can do, as you should simply avoid that sector. This is because you simply do not suit it. If it is determined by Flying Star, eg. bad sector must use cure. Then you can use the cure suggested. Usually, most of the flying star cure does not directly impact a person's personal element as they are applied in a small quantity. For your personal element, in order to enhance it, you should use metal or water, so simply wear more metal or water colours (white/gold, blue/back…

Dear Madan, Actually, I don't think the chart is as bad as you think. Currently, I generated one paid report based on it, however, as I do not have the hour of birth. I only got the 4 pillar (day, month, year & conception). The missing hour and life pillar may affect the reading further. However, it looks to me like a chart with certain missing elements. There might be additional elements revealed from the Life pillar which makes it quite an average chart. with a slightly higher emotional intelligence deity. I haven't really look through the details as there is a missing hour of birth which will make the reading different from that which you provided anyway. However h…

Dear Shriram, Please use the free report at:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/reports The two reports:- a. Find out what your 4 good & 4 bad directions? b. Finding your personal element? Report a. will tell you whether North is one of your 4 good direction or 4 bad directions. If it is your good direction, then on a general note the house suits you very well. Otherwise if it is your bad direction, then it is not good for you. Especially if the bad is Death or Disaster which is most unfavourable to you. Report b. will tell you your birth element. Eg. wood person. Given North house facing is Water element. Water produces Wood, so it is good for a wood person. Please use…

Dear Lay Eng, 1. Generally, Yin and Yang are at the pinnacle of many (or all) Chinese beliefs/Feng Shui and divinity methods. 2. If we consider a pyramid, it is at the tip of the pyramid. 3. Yin and Yang concepts are thus the most general and in terms of Ba Zi/8 Characters Destiny very difficult to implement. 4. The best way to utilise Pillars of Destiny / Ba Zi is to `go down' to the " lowest " common denominator i.e. The Five Elements Concept. 5. In the Pillars of Destiny, for example, such as the available report at www.geomancy-online.com it breaks down the number / counts of a person's element. A balanced Pillars of Destiny would normally be e.g. 25 perce…
