Frankly, in my opinion, I widely consider what you mentioned under a broad term: "Occupational Hazard". For example, drawing a parallel to you. Even we geomancers also may fall into "Occupational Hazards" once in a while. Here, we would bring along our luopan. And once in a while; during our visits; meet a home that is "dirty" or "unclean" (belonging to those of the other kind). From the safety aspect; just take extra care to minimize personal exposures to risks. Otherwise: it is an occupational hazard".

CNY TRIVIA Got any recommendations to start the first working day of Chinese New Year (CNY)? 1. First day is always on even lunar days: eg. 2, 6, 8 or 10 day of 1st lunar month. (4th maybe skipped as many Cantonese don't like this number.) 2. Burials are always on the odd days: 3, 5, 7, 9 etc...

Drainage out of a landed property does matter if the drainage are open drains..

If it is confirmed on no-man's land. Then this "bird" is dead meat. As either way (direction); this bird either meets the devil or the deep blue sea full of sharks.

These are some considerations: 1. Enclosed, please find TWO (2) attachments. 2. Please note that the purpose of attachment file: centrepoint a.png is for me to see where the centrepoint or centre of gravity lands onto this alternative analysis. 2.1. Here, I am pretty happy with the "centre-of-gravity" reflected under both attachments. As if one looks closely, the centre of gravity or centrepoint in both illustrations are extremely close to each other. Thus I know "that it is on the right track". 3. Please use the attachment file: centrepoint b.png as this is the more common or conventional method of saying where the missing corner/area(s) are and also where are the protusions. 4. As one can see, contrary to what you had mentioned; indeed; there is a "large protusion" as highlighted in "yellow". And lesser concern for = MINOR missing corners/areas. 5. This is another example of why many of us always think automatically; of missing areas and miss out the "birds and the bees" of protrusions.

You can post the layout for me to help determine this. be protrusions.On 2/6/2015 6:24:02 PM, Anonymous wrote: Hi,My house has missing SW and NW corner. Any remedies? Deeply appreciate your reply. How do we tell if it is a missing corner or protrusion?

Thank you for your illustration. These are some considerations: 1. You wrote:- The bad directions Unlucky-South East Five Ghost-East Six Killings-North Total Loss-South 1.1. Given that your unit or rather your bedroom's bed-head could only be facing SE or East; given the "devil" and the "deep blue" sea; I can understand why you may want to consider facing East instead of SE (Unlucky). 2. As there are no other possible choices; given the window(s) in the West and the layout of the bedroom. 2.1. Yes, I do agree that perhaps, facing East is at least better than bed-head facing SE.

1. Feng Shui Triage Proper trouble-shooting is required. In many instances, what some may consider as missing corners may actually instead be protrusions.

No. What this thread means is: 1. Under the Flying Star Feng Shui, each home is suppose to be able to be properly identified as belonging to a specific "type". 2. And under Flying Star Feng Shui; there are a total of 15 directions or sectors a home can fall into. 3. But what this thread means is that since most of the blocks are oriented in the same direction; 3.1. Thus, if one stack/unit is such that it cannot belong to one of the 15 directions but fall in between TWO directions such as considered "in no man's land" then this is a concern. As it can adversely affect the luck. Here, e.g. a home cannot be considered as say belonging to either a NE1 or NE2 home but "in between" these two sectors. That's all. Hi Master Lee, currently looking at some resale units in NV Residences. When you mention that many stacks fall exactly under Period 8, do you mean all the main stacks? (ie main direction of the whole condo, eg whole of Blk 85, 91, 93, 99 and some stacks on other blocks in the same direction)

Thank You for not turning me into a three-legged toad product in the name of Feng Shui!

The comparison between an eight-legged octopus multitasking with all its legs and a Ba Zi chart requiring interaction among its elements, such as harms, punishment, and clashes, is quite intriguing.

This flat in a certain HDB estate in Punggol in close proximity to the Punggol MRT station... decided to protect his/their clothings from? Let me see:- a. Birds b. Bats c. neighbours rubbish thrown down d. All of the above Your answer?

Yes, why do you need to meticulously label each pillar at the void deck of blocks of flats? Once in a while, I would visit an older estate. And in this case a certain HUDC estate in Hougang. Here, all pillars and even facade of each block has been labelled. The only reason, I could think of is this..... Town Council Staff: "Sir, can I help you?" Concerned Resident: "A car just rammed into the pillars at my block". Town Council Staff: "Sorry, Sir! I need the pillar number". Concerned Resident: "Shouting excitedly : PIllars no. C2016 , C2017 and C2018" Town Council Staff: "Please hold while I check with the structural engineer"... Concerned Resident: (the upper floor collapsed on him and thank god, his passing was quick" 1 hour later.... Town Council Staff: "Hello? Hello? Are you still there? Bad news, Sir! The structural engineer tell me to tell you... GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE! Such damage means the block will collapse instantly!"

For such a layout plan, usually best to use the "rudimentary" low-tech method :- 1. photo copy the layout 2. paste it on a card-board 3. cut-out the outline of the unit 4. Try to balance it with a piece of nail or pin the aim is to "try" to find the centre-of-gravity (or centrepoint)

Watch gift lands Taipei major, British minister with red faces Taipei. A British government ministr has apologied for giving a watch to the mayor of Taipei, without realsing gifts of timepieces are considered unlucky.

The inauspicious earth 2 is the water star. This is killed/neutralised by (mountain) wood 3. As a result wood 3 is exhausted in the above equation. Thus, one can place a yin metal cure for this sector. Or rather, on average: metal is the most appropriate cure for this sector.

These are some considerations: 1. Some "Feng Shui" related issues have more to do with common sense then Feng Shui itself. 2. For example, 2 years ago, I remembered meeting a client who just bought a re-sale HDB flat. 3. We climbed the stairs and he went towards his unit. Apparently, his unit's fully shiny chrome grille gate. 3.1 He had a fright as thought he saw a figure - (himself) and he got a "shock". 4. What you mentioned, is similar. Sometimes, we suddenly see an image "in the home" after opening the door. The image could actually be one's mirror image. 5. Thus, majority of the time; this is one of the main "concern". For some, it is not an issue.

When installed, this built in cabinet MAY look beautiful. But, just look at the interior.... how ugly can it be? The interior is literally made up of patches of scrap wood ........ beauty is only skin deep....

This is the first time I come across a "new feature" or rather a nice refinement for the main grille gate.... Although this is nothing to shout about; but; sometimes... paying attention to small details... means something to some of us.... I like it...

You got to see this... mother of a gun of a wind chime.......

The attached graphic illustration shows why to "cure" metal; Water may be the "lesser" of the two evils (if any) vs or instead of using Fire element. As one has to remember that the worst star is of the earth element = #5 = misfortune / sickness = strong earth. Introducing #9 fire element may inadvertently fuel #5. If one considers : the Annual, monthly, the hourly flying stars. In general, a "fire" cure is often more popular to be used on (generally) a sector with #3 bad wood element. Of course, the WS and MS should be considered. And if so, even if a #5 flies into that sector with #3; somehow; it is not as worse off as a sector without #3. As under the destructive cycle; wood does "play a-part" e.g. a tree with roots getting into the earth (say #5) and drawing it out... Therefore; it is best to introduce a "cure" or "enhancement" (especially) a cure that has less effects on a sector be it for the 20 year flying stars or annual or monthly or daily stars. And not be myopic or have a tunnel vision in just curing for "the present". The future need to be considered, also.

For some, it is easier to see which elements are "associated" with metal either under the productive and/or destructive cycle. Please see attachment: 1. Productive cycle. Here, water "draws out" metal. 2. Under the destructive cycle? One can clearly see two elements: Fire and Wood. 2.1. Fire helps to "melt" metal or shape it. 2.2. Just imagine one has a carving knife. And a block of wood. After sometime; the metal instrument may get blunt or a block of raw material = wood costs say $6. But after it was carved into a beautiful piece of art-work; it can fetch more...

1. Yes, finally, you got the point as to why Water can be used to against "Metal" element. 1.1 And often, especially in a home environment; an added bonus of using water be it yin water or yang water is that it is often much more "safer" to use than "fire element". 2. As the most yang fire element has to do with activating a light. And often, it can be more dangerous if we say use a light vs water. As water may/can be considered as the lesser of the two evils. 3. Futhermore, some geomancers are still a firm believer of the sector. And given that North belongs to the water element; some geomancers give weight to using Water to harmonize this sector instead of fire. If so, using "water" would help to satisfy such users. 4. In addition, "water" element is also safer in another context: For example, based on the annual flying stars or the monthly flying stars or even the daily or hourly stars: at times the dreaded #5 may fly into the sector. And wouldn't using the fire element further fuel the #5 = misfortune or sickness. But the water element can either drown the #5 or #2. The #5 is considered the worst star - as compared to other lesser evils like #3 or #4 etc... 5. Under the Five elements concept if one dwell closely; actually there is a further element that may help to reduce #7. Provided either the Water or Mountain Star does not have a #3 or #4 (bad wood(s)). Thus, there are more than meets the eye. 6. Another further consideration is that if the location is an open space e.g. a balcony; and if one really uses a water position; nothing else can be placed or "built" above it = allowing for clear space = creating a "bright hall" or bright area. Contrast to using a plant or even a fire object which often may be placed on a pedestal or cabinet etc... thus hindering the flow of qi or "bright hall". 7. That is why 8 out 10 times; even if the frontage may not be suitable for a water position; but if someone were to place a water position e.g. a water fall or pond etc... again nothing else can be built about this = clear space. And 8 out of 10 times; based on shapes and forms Feng Shui; this is a better or safer bet than e.g. planting a mango tree - for a landed property. And in 8 years time; the tree would cast a dark shadow, below. Frankly, I can think of more reasons, but I stop, here. 8. More: If there are no bad wood; sometimes introducing the wood element may also help to improve a MS or WS #7. As metal is suppose to destroy wood and thus become exhausted.
