When my home is renovated,i've engaged a geomancer. The geomancer has my residential details eg the 1st time, a map of what to place gourd, water feature, wealth locaton, etc are identified. Similarly he has a copy of the house information + my 8 characters in his database.

Subsquently (each year)i was told by my geomancer to do the following:

a) do a *health check* or yearly audit of my home fengshui. All i need is to go to his business location and he will advise me of * what's next* to change in the house. He will then ask me to buy from shops eg chi lin, new gourd, etc to place at my house location. The fees is about $480 per year. The items he recomend are not expensive, but just symbolic items to remove "evils or illnesses or wealth enhancer" for each family member well-being.

My questions

a) he did not come to my home, all he need is look at the 1st copy of the floor plan and advise. Is this consider reliable ?

1. Most professional Feng Shui practitioners apply both Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui.

2. As the name suggests, Compass School Feng Shui needs the "correct" compass direction of a home. And under this school we have the Eight House Theory and the Flying star Feng Shui.

2.1. Once the compass direction of a home is known, the interior chart can be looked at for the 20 year Feng Shui as well as yearly Feng Shui.

3. If one lives in a landed property; there are instances where neighbours move out, resold or renovate their home. Often changes to the neighbourhood would affect the Feng Shui of a landed property. In such a situation, one can still e.g. take pictures and highlight to the practitioner.

4. Frankly for the price of $480 yearly; in fact, in my opinion, a master, usually should pay you a home visit, instead. As this fee is often as good as a full audit done for some homes. And often, many practitioners charge around $188 to $288 and thisfor an onsite annual visit.

5. Since you are in Singapore and the practitioner is in Singapore, it is always recommended - First Choice to go down to the "ground" to do a so called proper review especially for landed properties - where there can be changes to the external of your home - which may cause a major threat or sha qi.

6. Frankly, it is no right or wrong, it is how much value for money are you getting out of your annual review.
