Flying Star Feng Shui (Xuan Kong Fei Xing)

Dear Anon, 1. Thank you for bring up this interesting question. 2. It depends on the type of house being built. 3. In Singapore, there are public housing. And some public housing:- 3.1 Usually, these flats come empty i.e. only with furnished toilet(s) and white washed ceiling and walls. Otherwise, the house is given to the owners for them to complete the renovation of the floor tiles for both living/dining/kitchen and bedrooms. These flats do come with completed tiles for the kitchen. But no built in cabinet or stove or frige etc... In such a situation, if the owner only take over the flat after Chinese New Year 2004 and does renovation after this period, then, one can co…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- 1.In Group Both the main door For main door, will it Overall, the analysis is based on the Eight House Theory. And for sectors of the birth chart of the house are out of balance under the Flying Star, this should best be neutralised as soon as possible. There is a contradiction in Feng Shui principles. Here, it is best that the master of the house (where possible) should best occupy the master bedroom. You may have to do with exisiting situation. 2.For another Sorry, perhaps you can further elaborate your question. It is also good to look at the Flying Star chart of your house for Period 8. To see if it is significantly be…

Dear Ling Tien, Thank you for attaching your layout plan. Within Flying Star Feng Shui, there are indeed many schools. Ultimately, when we super-impose the luo shu grid either the pie chart or the 9 grid, it should match the compass directions. Therefore, in all authentic schools, the centrepoint is determined. For a relatively small place like a house of 1,200 sq ft or even a house of 5,000 sq ft, usually, the centrepoint or centre of gravity is found. Here, the luo shu grid is laid on the layout plan. Actually, if we use the Flying Star (Xuan Kong Feng Shui), if the house was born in period 7, most likely even if the main door has been interpreted diferently, the char…

Dear Wasis, It is best to scan the entire home to check on: 1. White If the walls are white in colour (white represents metal) no additional cure is needed. 2. Water element If there are water positions at a specific sector. Or if there are relatively large amounts of blue, black or grey at a sector that has particulary lots of #3 or #4 (bad wood) Or where the year has bad #3 or #4; since water helps wood, it is best to see if we can avoid adding water element here. If there is too much `water' element here, then, additional cure should be used to control the bad wood #3 or #4 or multiples of it. 3. Wood element At a location that has bad #3 and #4. In addition to water, …

Dear Alvin, In my opinion, Tai Sui or Grand Duke location is at South South West or 210 degrees this year. (And not exactly at true West i.e. 270 degress.) If you have a compass, do check whether the direction is 210? If not, then no issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In Feng Shui, if one literally lifts off the roof; this is symbolic of a `major' renovation and qualifies for a change of period. Symbollically, it implies that if one repaints the entire ceiling of the house at one go, this should change to period 8. In my opinion, rebuilding your kitchen especially removing the stove and refitting the kitchen can qualify for a change to period 8. But often, the influence would come not immediately but say, 8 or 9 months after the renovation. For renovating your kitchen: 1. Please be careful NOT to renovate at compass direction 210 degrees this year. - South South-West (Location of Grand Duke of Jupiter). Else this brings seve…

Dear Niap Vun, Yes, you should be using Period 7 instead. Please e-mail Robert Lee at : support@geomancy.net privately, to give you additional (free paid credits) to regenerate the Period 7 analysis - and use this instead of Period 5. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sarah, 1. In the Far East (Asia), rattan or bamboo furniture were particularly popular in the 1970's. Especially with the cheap labour and raw materials. All that is needed is to sew cushions and presto! Many homes have them. 2. In recent years especially in 1990's till today, because labour costs had risen, many have opted for other various combinations of steel/wood ; wood / cushions etc.. as they can be manufactured cheaply. The slightly more expensive go for half-cow leather etc... 3. In my opinion, I do not think so that your bamboo furniture can be considered as dead wood. 4. The only basis of calling `dead wood' is if one keeps too many `antique' furniture. Th…

Dear Jennifer, 1. It is not as simple as you sound. 2. This is because the Luo Shu grid is based on a formula complete for a period. 3. Look at it this way: 3.1 Is it possible for a Skoda or a Lada (Russian made vehicle) to be sliced partially and a chunk of it replaced with part of a mercedes benz. 3.2 Does the above sound logical? If not, then; This has to be evaluated based on the principles of 20 Year Flying Star's ruleset. Please refer to my above part of message. Frankly, Jennifer, (no offence) this has to be one of the "worst" illogical messages that I had seen replied to. In such a case, it is better to close one's eyes and pretend that we are living in …

Dear Fran, 1. For a home, often, if things are not too good, there is a good chance that the Shapes and Forms of the home (either external and interior may have problems). Often, some of the external issues include: wrong placement of water positions etc... 2. Under Compass School of Feng Shui, if one had already stayed in a home; often, what we (practitioners) do is to draw several Flying Star charts to look at the home to see if it `matches' the problems that has been faced inside a home. 3. Thus instead of trying to figure whether the home belongs to period `X' or `Y'; the most practical approach is to try to do a chart of the current period, first e.g. Period 7, since…

Dear Rafael, The Reverse Mountain and Water is inauspicious unless there is a `mountain' at the frontage and a water position at the back. Often, we may not have a control over the frontage. But if we do, and if there is a hill or object 1 storey (level) high, then, this can be considered as the mountain. And a water position can thus be activated at the back. Otherwise, if you still can, check to see if Period 8 is better. If so, one resort is to change the home to a Period 8 home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Vijay, Chinese Astrology and Eight House Charts ======================================== For the Eight House Charts (Compass School Feng Shui), the year of birth is enough. This is also commonly the type of information found on Chinese astrology books. In general, therefore, you are considered as a male "dragon" person - born in that year. Pillars of Destiny ================== Here, some practitioners may simply look at just the Year of birth. Some may look at the Year and Month of birth. While others may take into consideration: Year, Month, Day, Hour and Time of birth. While others may go further to look at Year, Month, Day, Hour, Time, House of Life and House of …

Dear Nhan, 1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui 1.1 More importantly, I personally feel that Shapes and Forms Feng Shui has a far higher weightage. 1.2 For a home, majority of the homes often have `clear' space at the centrepoint. 1.3 Even for many American homes, staircase is either at the centre or close to this sector. 2. Therefore, in my opinion, for a home, it is not very favourable to `lock-in' stars if this directly affects the flow of qi at the centrepoint or close-by to this. 3. And this may not be healthy for a home. 4. Contrast, this with an office. In an office, there is no harm to `lock-up' bad stars with say a storeroom. Since, in an office environment, air-con is …

Dear Nhan, 1. In my opinion, no. One should not only consider specifically the base #8 as an active star. 2. This is because, some FS schools have even "sidelined" the base number. And some of the FS schools placed emphasis on the MS # and WS #. 3. I feel that all three variables: Base, MS and WS are equally important. And also because under Period 7, #4 is bad number. 4. But, under Period 8, it is felt that it is a "mixed-blessing" star. Some FS practitioners feel that #4 is a good star. While others like me, would say that it is a "mixed blessing". 5. This is because, central to Flying Star Feng Shui is what is known as the 81 interpretations. This is the permutation …

Dear Peter, Frankly, if one is in an open space concept and cannot control the layout planning, than there is not much choice, here. Fortunately, you are not sitting facing the death or disaster sector. Which is worse-off. Often, in such cases or situation, if we are limited by "earth luck" i.e. location, than what matters most is to boost our "human / man luck". Here, positive work attitude, our PR skills etc.. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. for the benefit of those who are moving office, often the following ritual are performed: Select an auspicious date & time for the Office Warming Day. 1 On this day, make sure that all windows, ventilation must be covered up - usu…

Dear Nhan, Usually, if you look at my reply, it is often mentioned as "It depends". This is because if the building is constructed and closed-up (no qi flow), and later, one moves-in (yang qi) than, it is best to take the move-in date. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Regina, In a recent sicence world documentary, it was found that a University of London study found that: 1. Patients trying to recover from a dental surgery or pulling of the teeth often have a swelling on their cheek. 2. In the University of London study, a group was given pacebo ("sugar coated pill") and someone attended to the patient with an ultrasonic machine (turned off) but this attendant goes thru the motion of "rubbing" this "high-tech" equipment on the person's cheek. 3. Based on the documentary, nearly 60 percent of this respondent (patients) fair better than anyone else who were not given such a "treatment" and drug. 4. One conclusion was that if on…

Dear HP, In my opinion, your home is still considered as a Period 7 home. This is because Lunar New Year falls on 22 Jan 2004 and it ends only on the 15th day after 22 Jan 2004. And 6 Feb falls within this "curcial" new year period. Anyway, a Period 7 home can change or remain at Period 7 or to Period 8. While a Period 8 home cannot go back to the past. In order to go back to the past: Please purchase "Back to the Future: Part III" video. "Surely, one can than imagine going to the past *JOKE* Warmest Regards, Cecil
