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

Dear Dylan, Please see below:- Being earth, becomes more a supporting strength. But does not take into consideration based on the strength of the element. In Spring, Wood is strongest. Thus in Spring, it destroys `earth'. Thus weaking earth element. Glad that you enjoyed the website:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Most of us are familar with Flying Star Feng Shui. If there is an imbalance, we can try to neutralise it. Here, the sector of the house `wears' an element to neutralise a sector. 2. Each of us also need a balance in our elements. This is why Pillars of Destiny or Ba Zhi is used to break down all our elements and find out our birth element and its strength. What do `wearing' our favourable element means? Here, I have given an example where, when a child is born, a geomancer is consulted. For example, I have mentioned that when my grandfather, consulted a geomancer, my elder brother was found to lack `water'. Thus his name has a character of "water" in it i.e…

Dear Anon, 1. Thank you for your information. 2. Currently, we have quite alot of real cases that we are helping out. Many of them are not `seen' because we are helping out privately. We would like to do case studies but currently, I hope you understand, helping those in need is more crucial at this stage. 3. For now, we have to hold back your present request. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Dylan, It is best to look at it in relation to a Quantum Leap. For example, some people are born lucky and given a silver spoon. In Pillars, one can roughly categorise one's luck into: - Born with a silver spoon - Average life (Must constantly work hard) - born to `suffer' In the above, one can thus see the three classifications above. As the Chinese pay importance to: Destiny, Luck, Feng Shui Feng Shui is all about trying to `topple' the balance and since Feng Shui is earth based, it can be considered our `Earthly Luck'. So, what may offset the balance is `Luck'. This is why, some people, through their earthly luck prospher. This is why, many people, go into Feng …

Dear Anon, 1. The proper Chinese `cure' is symbolic and if was done the first time e.g. when one was born and found to be having too much Fire, the symbolic thing to do is to be given a name with `Water' to balance the person. 2. Theoritically you are correct to say that one should `embrance' water but this is not the correct method of applying Pillars of Destiny. We should instead use symbolic items to represent ourselves. Like a person's name, for example, with additional of a `water' in his her, name, this is a symbolic representation and not `physical' representation. 3. Likewise, one cannot or must never `play' with the human anatomy in any way. Or subject ourselves …

Dear Ang, For Questions 1 & 2, you got the concepts correct for both:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ang Chye, 1. Usually, it should not be linked to Feng Shui. 2. But to confirm, check for this year's Flying Star to see if the locations she spents time is not particuarly at Star 2 especially the bedroom. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carrie, Please read below:- Since you have 6 Earth, this should be where you are Strong Earth, where then you should have more Metal related elements in your personal life to induce the Earth to produce Metal, and in turn will produce Water and Wood. Which in your case Water is your wealth. Thus you need to enhance yourself say with personal cures such as wearing Metal or Water coloured clothings, and maybe even for your job get a job say Metal or Water. Wood althought in the order the the Five Elements does help weaken Earth, but it would be less effective then metal for your case as Wood may in turn also strenthen the Fire and in turn strengthen the Earth. …

Dear Ang, 1. According to several Feng Shui Masters, usually no matter what method is used, (if used properly) should more or less come to roughly the same `conclusion'. Provided they are comparing same situations. (We need to understand the strength/weakness and more importantly what is the purpose of the method used). Each theory or concept has its specific objective. 2. As I do not have a full picture on what the calcuations / methods such as the way the grouping was done, it would be difficult for me to comment on it. And how the weakest element was computed. 3. So long as the reasoning meets `academic' standards e.g. using the same denominator e.g. here we use purely…

Hi Anon, Please read below:- For a personal cure, I am afraid there is nothing much you can do except for colours of your clothings. Other things which you can consider are also personal objects or even your career elements. If you can have things favourable to you, every little bit will help. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Ang Chye, There is a big difference after a complete analysis has been done to a person to determine if he is weak or strong wood. I believe he as deduced that the person is a strong wood, thus, metal is good for him. As metal control his strong wood. However, if he is deduced as weak wood, then metal is not good for him as it weakens him. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Please read below:- Simply it is good to have friends as they often means people or things which helps you along the way providing you additional support and encouragement. Most likely all users are more interested in the Wealth as such the reports focus more on this area. Hope that answers some of your queries. I try to explain the above in areas you can relate to. Hopefully you understand my meaning. Thanks for your encouragement and support. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Ang, 1. We have to look at it this way, the Flying Star Chart is to look at the birth chart of a house. It is not personalised to a person. 2. A house can have an excellent Flying Star chart but it may not be suitable for the owners living in it. 3. If we just look at the house without the occupations, and if the house has excellent Feng Shui, or certain locations need corrections, this should be done. 4. Under the Eight House Theory, one aspect is to check if the house suits the person (breadwinner). The most unsuitable houses is where the death or disaster intangible force is at the main entrance. This is not the end of the world. You can still take advantage to c…

Dear Anon, It depends on the chart. I noticed for such chart, the reverse may be a better solution where you should follow the follow by creating the initation of the missing elements. Such as say in this case say you are a Strong Water. In such "unique" cases, it is sometimes better to continue to strengthen Water, while having Wood, to initiate the creation of Wood, which in turn creates Fire, and in turn create Earth etc. But without looking at your chart I cannot comment any further. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Ang Jen, 1. Elementt analysis under jobs or occupations sounds quite `scary' if one says that the job should be related to `fire' element. However, if one looks at it closely, it does not really mean `fire' as in contact with the real thing like a fireman's occupation or job. 2. But rather Fire element can be a range of jobs relating to e.g. sales, marketing, or anything that has `fire' or `drive' in it. 3. Therefore, for example if one is in computers, in contact with fire could suggest jobs relating to marketing of computer products etc.. 4. Other broad areas could include System Analyst e.g. in areas of project management i.e. task oriented work where tasks need t…

Dear Kean, Please read below:- For the Strong Earth person, he will benefit from the Strong Water person, as Water represents his wealth. In addition, the Strong Water, will help to control the Fire preventing the further growth of Earth for the Strong Earth person. The Strong Water person will benefit from the Strong Earth person in that Earth destroys Water thus, controlling the strong Water. Generally, basing on that the compatibility seems to be pretty good. As for whether it will result in a good careers, will have to depend on several other factors such as the Feng Shui of the Office, the type of business etc, and what period in their personal life do they wa…

Dear Anon, Please read below:- A simple answer is NO. Reason:- Pillars of Destiny can only chart out a person's likely destiny due to changes in the heavenly influence for any given person. However, it cannot chart out the experiences a person will encounter. What experiences? - Education Level of a person - Friends & Family who help to shape & influence a person. - Experiences he encounters in different phases of his life. - & lots more. These often changes a person's life. What a Pillars can do however, is to provide you with some insights as to what is expected in your life. Knowing when it is good and bad, you can often revert or make use of the knowledge…

Dear Anon, Please also remember that for any element say Wood, there is a weak or a strong wood, similarly for a Metal there is a weak or strong metal. Certain combinations can be extremely good say if:- The Wood is a Strong wood, then the girlfriend is a Strong Metal or even a weak Metal, as it helps to control the overly strong wood. This does not mean that the guy will be controlled by the girl friend. Also, there are many other factors involved in this type of relationship, the person's characertistics. I mean if a the guy tends to be indecisive etc, while the girl friend is more decisive or more dominant, then it is likely that the girlfriend would be in more control…

Dear Carrie, Please read below:- So in your case, it can be said that your door is a North door, which means a North house. Then, all you need to do is divide the house into an 8 pie of (45 degree angle) each to assess your home with the Eight House Theory. If you have the time, you can view the compass method at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Toni, Please read below:- I believe I have answered this portion in an eariler mail. Remember that it every element is important in creating a balance. Once you have that it will assist you as you will gain the two missing deities controlling that element. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Toni, Yes, there will be a course for Pillars of Destiny. Pillars of Destiny in my own opinion is extremely complex and even exceeds the complexity of the Flying Star (which is already pretty complex as it is.) Currently, the reason why there are very little books on this subject is because the original pillars can span easily between 20 volumes of more than 200 pages each targeting specific aspects of the Pillars. So it is not an easy topic to produce a course on. However, we will plan to have a course on it in the later future, possible after we have completed the Flying Star course first. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Toni, Please read below:- It depends on where it is located. Simply:- If located in the Eight Character of Birth, there is very little one can do to change much. It would mean that a person is lightly to be in such a situation where he wants to do something but somehow or rather it backfires or is not very successful. If occurs in the year, that means that for that year he or she is likely to face difficulties. However, this lasts only for the duration of the year. This is a brief explanation. The extend depends upon whether to that person this particular Wu or Chen is beneficial to them or not. All Clashes, Harms, Punishments etc have good and bad clashes, …

Dear Anon, Please read below:- This is because many people who are practising Feng Shui has mainly learnt only the Flying Star and the Shapes and Forms. And that they feel that the Flying Star is so powerful that you do not need anything else. However, if you understood that the Flying Star is a tool just to analyse the House, you will realise a very important factor which is ignored:- The suitability of the a person to the house. This was one of the reason the Eight House has been used widely to help to cover that link. However, Eight House utilises the Year of birth which is very inaccurate as that would mean that there are only 8 different variation for everyone w…
