Hi cecil and all the user,
I came to know about the triangle effect method shown in the past post. Just by curiosity, I have a few question.
1)Will this effect backfire? Like a slingshot effect.
2) As shown in your diagram, If the lamp post is made out of metal, would the two plants helps? Since metal destroy wood.
Thank you and looking forward for your advise.
Steven

Dear Steven,
Please see this picture:

The above was taken from http://www.geomancy.net/fs/5element.htm
for easy reference.
If you see the structures carefully, you will find that it is the shape and not the material that specifies the element.
If you look closely, the yellow thin structure (like a telecoms tower), although it can be a telecoms tower made of steel or concrete or both, it is still considered a Wood element.
Thus if one imagines, that the lamp post is a all thin structure, does it not resemble a tall thin tree?
Therefore, Feng Shui is not what it seems always. The shape and symbolism here prevails.
Another interesting point is that sometime back I also mentioned that :
1. Hong Kong Masters commonly use fish tank for cures while Taiwan Masters use plants.
I am neither pro Hong Kong or Taiwan. I recommend the use appropriate to the situation.
2. In a situation where a lamp post can be seen from a window, Hong Kong Masters may advise on the use of a fish tank. Plus they always recommend Goldfish.
If one analyse closely, there are two components in a fish tank: water and in this case goldfish.
Water is simple to relate : it implies water element.
For a gold fish, be it black or gold or red coloured ones, the GOLD in the goldfish refers to Fire element. Thus it is like using Fire to destroy wood i.e. the lamp post.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

HI cecil,
Thanks for the fast reply. I have understand about the element
explaination but what about the slingshot effect? Will it back fire?
Thank you,
Sincerely
Steven

Dear Steven,
1. No, in my opinion, there should not be a slingshot effect here. I am confident of this method.
2. If one is not comfortable with it, then can use the traditional method of hanging a Ba Gua mirror.
3. The semi-circular carpet, can be added together with Para 1 also.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
