Dear Masters,
I suppose there are many different practices out there in S'pore today. Where you (and some geomancers that I have heard of) talk about achieving a balance in terms of a person's elements, some books that I have come across or even some geomancers, seem to talk about "going with" the person's elements. e.g. if the person is a fire element, he should say, wear red clothes to suit his element. This seems to disregard the strong or weak elements that a person may have due to his ba zi.
Question now is, are such practices (as mentioned above) proper and desirable? Are there any basis/reason why fengshui is being practiced in this manner instead of trying to achieve an equilibrium in all the 5 elements?
Best Regards
Lawrence

These are some of the considerations:-
1. Caveat Emptor! Let the buyer beware.
2. Especially if one's birthdate falls in a so called "grey" area; if you get 10 geomancers to "prepare" a Ba Zi chart; often one will find that 6 out of 10 will get it all "mixed" up.
3. An eye opener is to be aware of any geomancer that sells commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. To them these so called modern commercial products have one fragrance:
"Buy cheap, Sell HIGH". Guess who pockets the change? But, unfortunately, like the saying goes: "When the buying stops (not possible); just maybe, the selling ENDS?"
4. In order to reason why Fung Sway is being practiced in "this manner" : seriously, one has to examine the "lead-sealed" brains...
