Hi Cecil,
In one of your messages, you mentioned that in the order of priority, if you can't have both, it is better to be in an auspicious location rather than just facing it.
That brings up another point that I would like your opinion on. In the 8 house theory, I am a Ken, which is earth. The auspicious directions are SW, NE, W, and NW. I can understand SW and NE being auspicious since they are also earth, but why is W and NW considered auspicious, since they are both metal and metal drains earth? Why isn't the South auspicious, since fire creates earth? Instead the South section is disaster to a ken person.
Following this train of thought, in the Pillars of Destiny, my true element is weak water. It would be logical to me that a weak water person would prosper in the metal sector or the the West or North West section if the section was balanced already through the flying star.
What do you think of this rational?

Dear Cheui May,
By taking the sector, North is water, this is one of the usage under a another theory known as Ba Zhi Feng Shui.
However, there is some disadvantage with this theory. It is because, for those who are not sure about this application and simply take North is water thus assume that it is suitable to a person is not 100 percent correct.
As there are many other factors to consider e.g. clashes, triple combinations, twin combinations, harm, punishment, self-punishment and the 24 mountain element.
If all these are not taken into account, the Ba Zhi Feng Shui is as static as using the Eight Aspirations theory where SW is romance etc...
If you really want to use this theory, wait till we officially launch the latest Ba Zhi Feng Shui module which Robert will so as he has already complete the major revamp of the site and features.
Do look forward to this new module is available but not yet ready for launch.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
