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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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

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 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, 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 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…

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 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, 1. The key answer to your question is on the use of your date of birth. 2. The reason why we can get confused over this is because of what type of information was used and applied. 3. For example, in your case, whe you mentioned that you are a `fire-horse', it would mean that only your Year of birth has been looked at. 4. It is true that in one of your pillars, you have a fire and a horse. 5. However, the key to understanding which predominates is to go further into finer details. For example, in just the Year pillar alone there are two components `fire and horse'. And imagine, when we add more `components or variables' such as Month, Day and Time of birth. 6.…

Dear John, Pian Cai or Unexpected Wealth usually refers to either wealth gained thru promotions and monetary merits gained from work or that there is a greater chance of winnings at the lottery. This is particulary so, if one's specific 10 year Luck Pillars as shown in this example:- http://sg.geomancy.net/consultation/consult-home/leakinexistinghome.htm Has pian cai at the age of 32 to 41 (1989 to 1998). While Pian Yin or Unexpected Funds, usually refers to funds e.g. such as inheritance. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

Dear Anon, Please see below:- If one have a major renovation done on or after 22 January 2004 (the start of Lunar New Year 2004), then, this would change the birth chart of a house. Is it advantages to switch to a new period or `new' birth chart of the house? 1. Birth chart of house under Period 7 (1984 to 2003) For example a house with main door at S1 (165 degrees), the main door has a #7 mountain with #7 water stars (it is more advantages if the base is #1. But in this case, there is a #2 at the base). #2 can be cured with metal e.g. placing six coins. 2. But in Period 8, i.e. after 2004, Lunar New year, there is no longer an auspicious #7 with #7. And if we do a m…

Dear Anon, 1. You can use the Free report " Comparison " to generate the informatin of the binding element for a strong fire and strong wood person. 2. For a partnership (husband and wife); the binding element can be used / introduced in say the master bedroom and especially the living room and dining room areas. 3. The binding element can either be ONE element or TWO element. If the binding element is only ONE element, in Traditional Astrology analysis, this implies that both parties are said to be compatible. While if the couple need TWO binding elements, it is said that they are considered `incomptable'. Using this method or Ba Zi analysis is considered more accurate …

Dear Anon, Yes, this can be done symbolically. In the past, it is common to find the grandfather (elder) anxious about the `Ming' or life of their grand child. And, they would approach a geomancer to select a name that is suitable to the child. In many instances, this can be done because it is common to find a Chinese with a three character name. The first character is the surname. And this cannot be changed. But the surname or each Mandarin character represents an element. If the child lacks a certain element, the two other characters can symbollically represent the missing elements. And the name chosen best to add the missing element. Here, it represents a good start f…

Dear Joe, 1. It is not quite like `Star Wars' where one comes to the `dark side':) 2. Under the Five Elements concept, there are various senarios with regards to more yin, more yang or `totally' yin or yang. 3. Some of my ebooks have covered this topic. 4. Overall, if one's chart has too much yin elements; it implies that there is a major imbalance in the chart. 5. I personally have known several persons who became very successful with such charts. As the advantage is that these people are truly very determined, has excellent attitude etc... 6. In fact, if one's chart has e.g. many yin elements; on the contrary; too much yin changes to Yang and vice versa. 7. Please note…

Dear Anna, In the free report, there is a graphic illustration of a person. In this graphic illustration, it should be Head face NE and not the feet. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, It boils down to the following:- 1. Please note that `24 Ba Zhi Feng Shui Direction ' is not the correct term. 2. As Ba Zi or Pillars of Destiny or Eight Characters cannot be used in conjunction with the above statement. 3. Instead, if the above term is used, then Ba Zi should be replaced by Xuan Kong Feng Shui or Flying Star Feng Shui or known as `24 directions/mountains Flying Star (Xuan Kong) Feng Shui. 4. I like to re-inforce the point that questions that you have posted can be answered by the three step-approach. Step 1: What is the purpose? Of Flying Star FS. What is the purpose of Eight House. Here, knowing this one can easily find out Flying Star vs Ei…
