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

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 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 Harry, Please use the Free Pillars of Destiny Limited Report found in the My FengShui (http://login.geomancy.net) to help you determine that. Since such tools are readily available, please use them to help you. This will save a lot of time for everyone, allow us to help users explain analysis rather than calculating the results for them.

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 Maggie, 1. Based on what u had mentioned, there is no poison arrows (sharp corners) from the windows. 2. As for a double decker bed, some FS practitioners feel that to them, a bed above another bed is like the same concept of a `beam.' In my opinion, as the bed is spread evenly above and furthermore, there are so many people in the world who had in one way or another sleep in such beds, there is I feel no issue on this for most of us. Personally, when I was young had also slept in them. I personally did not as far as I can remember have any ill effects. Many people, I come across also do not face any problems also. For those who may have sleep related problems, coul…

Dear Iris, 1. The two main `goals' of Feng Shui is: - To try and enhance beneificial Qi - To neutralise Sha Qi 2. In real life, imagine standing next to or at the bottom of a water fall. One can hear the sound of water. Or thunderous sound of water. Here, a waterfall is said to bring vigourous circulation of Qi. A fountain, if it is large or huge can equally generate quite an amount of sound and activity of water i.e. a case study is the Suntec City fountain, Singapore, which is currently the largest brass/metal ring fountain. 3. A fish tank is usually meant to neutralise sha qi e.g. placed at a window to neutralise a lamp post. Or as a hobby fish tank. 4. Water flowing …

Dear Andy, Thanks for your clarification. You are indeed forward thinking:) Yes, 7 will continue to represent the same element in any period. But for the number 7, the belief is that it will represent `robbery and crime' say in Period 8. Anyway, the saying that it is nice to have a 7 in say a phone no. period 7 is as it is a general saying. And in my opinion, should not be taken into very seriously. As this is not of primary importance. As some Chinese are particular with the phonetic sound e.g. 4 in Cantonese dialect means `die', 7 is not associated with such phonetic meaning. Thus to some, this is considered a neutral number. (If we do not associate it with the Flying…

Balancing of Five Element ========================= Feng Shui is about harmony and balance. ............................................. Similiarly for Pillars of Destiny balance is the key to harmony. Just like usually when we identify a person's personal element, we often deduce if it is weak element or strong element. It is ideal to obtain a balanced element. However, it is virtually imposible to obtain a balanced element. Partially due to the ever changing element influence of the year, month, day & hour. ............................................. Best we can do is to try to achieve a reasonable state of balance. Generally to do this we try to create balance …

Dear Anon, Ba Zhi is the romanised word = Eight Characters. In fact " Eight Characters " is actually Pillars of Destiny. The reason why it is often called Eight Characters is because Pillars of Destiny consists of 4 Pillars x 2 elements (stem and branch). Therefore " Four Pillars or Pillars of Destiny " is based on 4 Pillars x 2 elements = 8 characters = Eight Characters or Ba Zhi. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Selyn, --- This is an extract from one of the past messages placed by a user in this form under the conference "Books on Feng Shui":- I found this book is interesting and allows one to apply "I-Ching" immediately taking into consideration all the above. Another user (posted this message in the above same conference). The reader's recommendation is as follows:- "Any one interested in the Yi Jing Coin Oracle book should find it at the back of the book called "Secrets of Chinese Astrology * A Handbook for Self-Discovery" by the author Kwan Lau. " Note: I personally have not read this book but you can try. Alternatively, you can go to Amazon.com to do a search for ot…

Dear JR, Thanks for sharing with us your personal experience. Usually, predictions under Chinese system can be based on:- 1. the I-Ching or Oracle 2. Using the Five Elements concept and using tools like using a Luo Pan and checking one's good direction of travel. 3. Weigh of bones and other methods under this. This is where, in the past, Chinese Monks, Priests try to `earn' some `keep' for themselves and their temples by offering predictions. This is the `fore-runner' of many fortune tellers along road sides conveniently located outside temple areas. Some use sticks, some use birds to pick out cards etc... 4. It also depends on the calibre of the Geomancer and his `pred…

Dear Iris, Please see below:- ----- Original Message ----- From: "pillars-of-destiny Listmanager" To: Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 7:21 AM Subject: Eight house - opposite to husband Based on what you had mentioned above, you should not be standing infront of the main door and then take the compass direction. (Reference on correct method of compass reading using an ordinary compass: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm ) You should not be duly `worried' about this. As you are not the only person who faces such a situation. The key point is to remember that in the Eight House:- 1. Generally, it looks at how suitable the house is to the breadwinner i.e. i…

Dear Kishore, During water and earth periods, for personal self, try to enhance yourself with wood element. For personal self, you can enhance yourself e.g. wear more of wood coloured clothings e.g. green or brown. Pink, red are acceptable also. For weak fire person, try to avoid rearing fish at home or have a fish tank in the home. Avoid wearing blue. The above is generally the thing to note about personal self. Other than that, it may not be practical, but a `wood' career would be nice (but this advise may be too much thou if you have a steady job... don't on the account of this switch job). For the home, try to enhance the luck of the home by having an acceptable Shap…

Dear Elena, 1. This is a relatively new area for `western' names. 2. For the Chinese, this is easy as "Geomancy of finding a Name" is in place and as mentioned in a recent earlier message, there are three main Methods of Name finding. 3. Some Feng Shui or `Geomancy' practitioners I know, simply count the number of characters of a person's name e.g. George (6 characters) Livingstone (11 characters) and then `map' it to either YIN or YANG. Then use this to tell their clients that their name is either too yin, too yang or `balanced'. Well, this is in my opinion, the easiest way to find out if a `name' is too yin or too yang or balanced. But, as this is relatively new, not su…

Dear Benard, 1. The saying goes: "A little knowledge is always a dangerous thing." 2. One must remember that most Chinese are only familar with Chinese Astrology. 3. Not only this but all Chinese Astrology books relate a person's "element" simply to their YEAR of birth. 4. So, you are correct to say that your YEAR of birth is the FIRE HORSE. 5. But, under Pillars of Destiny, this is no longer the case. 6. As most of us are aware, Pillars of Destiny looks at our Year, Month, Day and Time of birth. 7. The most important pillar that is highlighted is the Day of birth. In your case, since your DAY of birth is " Geng " or Metal, Pillars of Destiny analysis thus consider your…

Dear Jack, Yes, for greater accuracy you should consider yourself a `Strong Wood' person. The ver 8 pillars, takes into consideration two more pillars (Life pillars) i.e. House of Conception and House of Life. With the two more pillars, there are 4 more variables (two more stems and two more branches). In the past, there are additional pillars both cater to Yin Feng Shui but is not added here because it no longer is relevant to us. In many cases, usually ver 7 will be similar to ver 8. But the normal pillars ( ver 7) based on Year, Month, Day and Time of birth will provide : 4 stems + 4 branches = a total of 8 variables. With only this 8 variables, the probability of `…

Dear Cheui May, One method is the `type' of house. For example, under the Eight House Theory, each direction has a specific compass direction. For example, North represents Water and generally, this type of house is a `Water' house. Nowadays, this is infact `incorporated' under the analysis e.g. Eight House and less meaningful today. This is also because the centrepoint of the house is the Earth element. It is more important to consider: 1. Your element and strenght 2. the Flying Star of the house 3. Shapes and Form 4. How suitable are you to the house (Eight House). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, if there are two 5th months, both months are treated `like' two 5th months. However, in modern times, one would only celebrate the Lunar bithday once or other festivities. For example, if the Dragon Boat festival falls on two intercalary months, usually the `FIRST' occassion is celebrated. Although, one can celebrate the two dates are they are equally considered the same month. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jezamine, 1. Under Pillars of Destiny, one should look at the final element. This `final element' is based on the analysis of all your elements to come up with the main element that you are. And either weak or strong. 2. An analysis would have taken care of whether you lack wood or water. It may not necessary be the element you are lacking but like you mentioned, it may e.g. be other element. 3. It is best to determine the proper element and strength rather than make a guess as there is a difference between e.g. weak fire or strong fire. Warmest Regards, Cecil
