Be careful of this old Feng Shui scam Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially running Feng Shui stores in disguise. Genuine Feng Shui is not about buying lots of commercial products in its name. Always ask: “Do I really need to buy this from you?” In fact, the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. They seem more interested in selling so-called “lifestyle” products than actually providing proper Feng Shui advice. +++ What Chat GPT Says about Geomancy.net You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of practitioners acting more like salespeople than genuine consultants. Instead of focusing on the core principles—energy flow, spatial arrangement, harmony—many have shifted toward selling "Feng Shui" products, often with little real impact beyond their price tags. Your approach to **question everything**—especially with "Must I buy from YOU?"—is wise and empowering. It cuts through the sales pitch and gets to the heart of what’s authentic and necessary. The rise of so-called lineage masters intensifies this issue. Their supposed credibility is often used to market expensive lifestyle items, creating a business model where advice is intertwined (or even dependent on) product sales. Genuine Feng Shui, however, is about harnessing the natural flow of energy using knowledge and intent, not buying endless objects. **A few ways to keep things real:** - **Ask for advice first, products second.** A true practitioner can explain remedies or suggestions without immediately pushing sales. - **Know that authentic Feng Shui relies more on placement and timing than material goods.** Your home’s orientation, layout, and how you use space matter most—objects are secondary or sometimes unnecessary. - **Be skeptical if someone says you need to buy their exclusive items for results.** Often, similar solutions are available or even unnecessary. In short: Your instincts are right. Genuine Feng Shui should help people—not turn anyone into a captive customer. Hold onto that critical mindset, and you’ll always be able to separate authentic guidance from the noise of commercialization.

Year of the Earth Rooster Reunion Dinner on 12th February Chinese New Year’s Eve reunion dinner (年夜饭 / 團年飯) is one of the most important traditions in Chinese culture. Its importance comes from several layers of meaning: 1. Family unity and togetherness - It’s the most important family gathering of the year—similar in significance to Thanksgiving dinner in the US or Christmas dinner in many Western countries. - People travel long distances (the Spring Festival travel rush 春运) just to be home for this meal. Being present at the table shows belonging and commitment to the family. 2. Honoring ancestors and family roots - Many families offer incense, food, or prayers to ancestors before the meal. - This shows respect to previous generations and reinforces the idea that the family is a continuous line, not just the people currently alive. 3. Wishes for prosperity, health, and good fortune - The dishes are symbolic, chosen for their meanings: - Fish (鱼 yú) – sounds like surplus (余): wishing for abundance. - Dumplings (饺子) – resemble ancient ingots: symbolizing wealth. - Nian gao (年糕) – sounds like year higher: wishing for progress and promotion. - Longevity noodles – wishing for long life. - Eating these foods together is like a shared, ritual way of sending blessings into the new year. 4. Reinforcing family roles and bonds - Elders sit in honored seats and often give red envelopes (红包) with money to children and younger relatives. - This passes down not just money, but also blessings and expectations, showing care and responsibility across generations. 5. Closure of the old year and welcoming the new - The meal marks the transition point between the old year’s difficulties and the new year’s hopes. - People often avoid arguments and negative talk at the table, believing it may affect the luck of the coming year. 6. Cultural continuity and identity - For Chinese people in China and the diaspora, the reunion dinner is a strong link to cultural heritage. - Even if other traditions fade, families often still keep this one, because it’s simple, emotional, and deeply meaningful. 7. Emotional comfort and belonging - Beyond symbolism, it’s a moment of warmth: familiar dishes, family jokes, shared memories. - For many, it’s the one time a year when everyone slows down and truly reconnects. +++ CHINESE NEW YEAR 2029 13TH FEBRUARY 2029 TO 27TH FEBRUARY 2029 When to open for business or start work?

We start work on the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, or 12th days of the lunar new year. In our culture, even numbers stand for “double happiness” and represent balance, while odd numbers are seen as unbalanced. Traditional funeral customs also support this belief. Funerals are usually held on odd days. For example, if someone passes away on a Monday, the funeral would be held on the next Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday, following the pattern of odd days. This follows the idea of Yin and Yang, where odd days are Yang, and the deceased represent Yin, so they should be buried on a Yang day to maintain harmony. How strictly is this tradition followed in modern Chinese business practices? How closely businesses follow the tradition of working on even lunar days during Chinese New Year depends on the company. Traditional and family-run businesses, especially in places where customs are still strong, usually follow this rule quite strictly. Important activities like reopening after the holiday or signing contracts are often set on lucky days. Feng Shui and the meanings of numbers still matter a lot in these choices. Larger companies and international firms are usually more flexible. Some may recognize the tradition in a symbolic way but do not let it control their whole schedule, especially when they work with global clients or partners. For these businesses, practical needs sometimes come first. Even so, most companies know about and respect these lucky dates and customs. Many still talk to Feng Shui experts or think about cultural beliefs when choosing important business dates. Today, there is a mix of old traditions and modern needs, with companies keeping the customs when they can without slowing their work. In summary, how strongly this tradition is followed depends on the type of business and its environment, but these cultural beliefs still influence Chinese business practices in many ways. +++ Overview of the traditional meaning and customs for each of the 15 days of the Chinese Lunar New Year (Spring Festival).

Be careful of this old Feng Shui scam Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially running Feng Shui stores in disguise. Genuine Feng Shui is not about buying lots of commercial products in its name. Always ask: “Do I really need to buy this from you?” In fact, the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. They seem more interested in selling so-called “lifestyle” products than actually providing proper Feng Shui advice. +++ What Chat GPT Says about Geomancy.net You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of practitioners acting more like salespeople than genuine consultants. Instead of focusing on the core principles—energy flow, spatial arrangement, harmony—many have shifted toward selling "Feng Shui" products, often with little real impact beyond their price tags. Your approach to question everything especially with "Must I buy from YOU?"—is wise and empowering. It cuts through the sales pitch and gets to the heart of what’s authentic and necessary. The rise of so-called lineage masters intensifies this issue. Their supposed credibility is often used to market expensive lifestyle items, creating a business model where advice is intertwined (or even dependent on) product sales. Genuine Feng Shui, however, is about harnessing the natural flow of energy using knowledge and intent, not buying endless objects. A few ways to keep things real: - Ask for advice first, products second. A true practitioner can explain remedies or suggestions without immediately pushing sales. - Know that authentic Feng Shui relies more on placement and timing than material goods. Your home’s orientation, layout, and how you use space matter most—objects are secondary or sometimes unnecessary. - Be skeptical if someone says you need to buy their exclusive items for results. Often, similar solutions are available or even unnecessary. In short: Your instincts are right. Genuine Feng Shui should help people not turn anyone into a captive customer. Hold onto that critical mindset, and you’ll always be able to separate authentic guidance from the noise of commercialization. From Day 1, we share your concern From the very first day, we acknowledge your concerns. We will never offer you any products for sale! Numerous Feng Shui Masters operate as a Feng Shui Store in disguise. Caution: Even individuals who assert they possess a Feng Shui Lineage are just as culpable of this.

Thinking about buying a home that faces the afternoon sun? BUT +++

Be careful of this old Feng Shui scam Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially running Feng Shui stores in disguise. Genuine Feng Shui is not about buying lots of commercial products in its name. Always ask: “Do I really need to buy this from you?” In fact, the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. They seem more interested in selling so-called “lifestyle” products than actually providing proper Feng Shui advice. +++ What Chat GPT Says about Geomancy.net You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of practitioners acting more like salespeople than genuine consultants. Instead of focusing on the core principles—energy flow, spatial arrangement, harmony—many have shifted toward selling "Feng Shui" products, often with little real impact beyond their price tags. Your approach to **question everything**—especially with "Must I buy from YOU?"—is wise and empowering. It cuts through the sales pitch and gets to the heart of what’s authentic and necessary. The rise of so-called lineage masters intensifies this issue. Their supposed credibility is often used to market expensive lifestyle items, creating a business model where advice is intertwined (or even dependent on) product sales. Genuine Feng Shui, however, is about harnessing the natural flow of energy using knowledge and intent, not buying endless objects. **A few ways to keep things real:** - **Ask for advice first, products second.** A true practitioner can explain remedies or suggestions without immediately pushing sales. - **Know that authentic Feng Shui relies more on placement and timing than material goods.** Your home’s orientation, layout, and how you use space matter most—objects are secondary or sometimes unnecessary. - **Be skeptical if someone says you need to buy their exclusive items for results.** Often, similar solutions are available or even unnecessary. In short: Your instincts are right. Genuine Feng Shui should help people—not turn anyone into a captive customer. Hold onto that critical mindset, and you’ll always be able to separate authentic guidance from the noise of commercialization. From Day 1, we share your concern From the very first day, we acknowledge your concerns. We will never offer you any products for sale! Numerous Feng Shui Masters operate as a Feng Shui Store in disguise. Caution: Even individuals who assert they possess a Feng Shui Lineage are just as culpable of this. IN SUMMARY The main takeaway from the text is a cautionary message about the potential deceit within the Feng Shui community, highlighting that some practitioners may prioritize sales over genuine guidance, regardless of their claimed expertise or lineage.
