Dear Forum advisors,
My house was built between year 1983 and 1984.
Few renovations were done, e.g. finishing the basement on year 1989, and adding a sky light onto the roof on 1997.
Do you consider these changes as being major changes? Is it correct to assume that the house period year is=7?
Please advise.
Thanks

Dear Anon,
1. 1 February 1984 is the start of 1984. I can understand if it is difficult to know if the house has been completed before or after this date.
(Usually, if it is completed after 1 February 1984, which is the start of the new Lunar New year 1984), then the house is 100 precent a Period 7 house.
Not to worry here, as usually another way of looking at it is if the date falls within either 1983 or 1984, the date of moving house can equally be considered.
If this still pose some problem, then para 2, below can `help.'
2. Since the house nears or is close to Period 7, (rather than period 6), it will usually have the characteristics of a Period 7 house. Even if it does not, a few years and it will most likely change to Period 7 characteristics. It also does not take into consideration renovation works, if any. Which can be done in Period 7.
3. Usually, if one still is not sure, a reliable Feng Shui practitioner would sometimes prepare two charts: one based on Period 6 (for reference) while, still use the Period 7 chart. The period 6 chart is thus kept-in-view, during his/her final analysis of the house chart. But some may not do so, if there is no past history to refer to.
Usually, this is done say when a new owner purchased the house and there is already a history to reference the chart with. For example, if information is available on the previous owners, one can see whether the period 6 or period 7 chart `takes' dominance. Usually, one need only to look at the flying star of the main door, to get a feel of how well it correlates to Period 6 or 7.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

I do agree that it is sometimes very difficult to find out the year which
the building built. Especially those old building here in Glasgow. (The one
I lived in at the moment!)
Many thanks,
Jonathan
