Dear Kian Lam, Kian Lam K. wrote: My birth date is 1 Feb 1970, male. When I use the calculator in the website, it stated that I am weak yang rooster. Is it correct? I noticed that my birth element is strong water from other readings. Could Masters advise on my bazhi? There are some combinations on the bazhi for the heavenly and earthly stems. Rgds. Please read our newly added Ba Zi FAQ, and you will understand why:- URL: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=2&mid=23906&new= A lot of ba zi analysis available doesn't really do a very comprehensive analysis to determine your element.

Dear Michelle, If the frontage if facing the major highway, even if it is some distance away; if you can try to find other better units - than this. Overall, if you can still hear the sound; there is still `vibrant' bad Sha Qi usually at higher level apartments. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, One cannot simply apply the Dragon and Tiger in the way you have mentioned. What I mean is that if you are relating to the objects: be it a picture, painting, statue of a dragon or tiger, one cannot say that say the picture of the dragon has to be at the left side while the tiger is on the right side. Firstly, one should not display such objects especially in a bedroom. One can still display the objects under the following conditions: 1. Ideally, the dragon can be displayed but for a purpose: a. It has to be a four claw or less dragon. b. It can be displayed facing a door. c. It can be displayed looking out of a window facing a poison arrow. Especially if the p…

From a Chinese perspective, there are "two concerns" here:- 1. This is more relevant. Three openings especially if they are totally in-line often means wealth coming in and exiting directly. Thus, it is said that money comes and goes out immediately. It is thus good that qi should not be in a direct path especially "leaking" from one side to the other or vice versa. 2. The Chinese belief that "spirits" especially bad spirits can only go in a straight line. Thus, in many instances, you will notice that Chinese platform bridges are always "turning" 90 degrees until it reaches the final span. And equally, landscaping in a garden leading towards a door is often in an "S' cu…

Thanks, Cecil. My office is in tower block located at a cross junction. A FS practitioner once advised me that I should locate some of my "aggressive" looking displays in such a way that they face this road junction. This was a sculpture of an eagle, two sculptures of Shiva Nataraja (an Indian deity with multiple hands). I figured the luo pan may have the same effect. Pity though, it is really quite a piece of art and I rather it faces me.

Further to what I had mentioned, in modern times ba zi is used to determine compatibility instead of the simplistic Chinese Astrology of "I am a rat. And I am suppose to be compatible to a monkey or a dragon. My worse pairing is with a horse". In this illustration. This person born on 7 February 2014 and born between 5pm to 6.59pm is considered as a weak earth person. And based on the Five elements concept; this person's best pairing is with a person of the "strong fire" element.

Dear Sophia, Sophia Chia wrote: As toilet is not an ideal location next to the main entrance. If the kitchen location is next to the main entrance but there isn't toilet attached to it.. Is it okay. Generally, the reason why toilet next to the main door is the more major concern are two factors:- 1. The toilet bowl is where largest amount of waste and water leaks out of the house. 2. The toilet is also dirty and tends to have bad smell. So logically, if it is near your main door, even when guest enter into the house they will have to pass by the toilet, which isn't really that nice smell nor good. So imagine Qi enter into the house, the first thing is it is dirtied by…

Dear Angie, 1. I understand it can be quite confusing on `Feng Shui'. 2. Frankly, it is best not to use the Eight Associations or Eight Aspirations `Feng Shui' nor fixed template Feng Shui. 3. If you set aside the above, and start `fresh' as what you have done, you can use traditional Feng Shui for your benefit. 4. Unfortunately, each Feng Shui theory has its strength and weakness. When you are using the Eight House theory, it is more to find out : a. How suitable for you to your house. b. In the bedroom, are you sleeping in a good direction. c. Priority should be given to (b). and only after, you can see if you are sleeping with your head facing a good sector. This is l…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hello... my question is regards to the placement of dragon and tiger picture puzzle. It's me and my husband's I chinese sign. Thank you very much in advance. Actually, just treat it as a typical painting. As long as the dragon or tiger isn't to like fighting each other(which represents disharmonious - not good for relationship.)Or looking too fierce looking (which can be a sha qi).You can treat it as a normal painting and hang it where you like it just as a decorative item. If puzzle is has conflict or fierce looking meaning, then better not to display it. In feng shui, as long as the picturedoes not have any bad meaning associated when yo…

No offence, please. If qi can be clearly defined as splitting between an invisible line along a bed; this means also that "pigs can fly". Fortunately, you are (partially) correct to look at the worst and think of the bad numbers. However, as I had previously mentioned; if one were to apply Flying Star Feng Shui it is like an engineer or a technician using smoke to look at how an object behaves in a wind tunnel environment. (Again not exactly the same but...) One has to see where are the openings especially of importance are such things as the window(s) and even the room door. For example, the split personality bed and 5 1 2 lies close to the corner furthest away from the…

1. Frankly, many or all the objects carried or to be carried are modern commercial products. These products should first and foremost be treated as mere decorative pieces. Much like the trinkets or items carried. 2. Even in traditional China, no one carries specific "tools" to ward off these issues. Frankly, it is all in the mind. As good as carrying a rabbit's foot. 3. Anyway, what you had mentioned dwell more into human factors - psychology, feeling good, security blanket type of stuff! Psuedo effect. Just like given a cup of water and a dummy drug made purely of sugar. 4. Perhaps, if you have the time and energy, go deeper into the study of proper Feng Shui and Feng…

Frankly, in Singapore, many HDB apartments and condos share the same issue! In fact, many newer condos have master bedroom where after placing the "queen-sized" or some can squeeze in a "king sized" bed, and left over is the wardrope area / TV console (or mounted) and some dressing table. And many of these condos also have attached bathroom that is "on the side" of the bed. Is the toilet really so disgusting that we should not have it? In the past, traditional Chinese homes have toilets that are "outside" of the living quarters. But today, it is "scientifically" true that a toilet can be dirty. For example, whenever we "flush" the toilet bowl and worse, if we cover th…

Dear Anon, I have attached a simple sketch showing in RED, the best areas for activating a mountain stair if it is present. As mentioned earlier, each house is different in layout and in some houses, the back door can be at the kitchen while for others, it is a standalone passage way. The best method is to clearly understand the concept that the mountain star is to enhance the `solid-backing' and not to hinder the frontage by blocking it. Thus for the frontage, it is often suggested that water or clear space is ideal. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Thank you Master Lee for your reply. The underground graves in the U.S. are built with 2 concrete vaults, one on top of the other. They are usually sold for husband and wife use. The casket or coffin of the spouse who dies first is placed in the lower concrete vault and closed bycovering the topwith a horizontal concrete slab. The casket or coffin of the spouse who dies next is placed on top of the concrete slab that covered the lower concrete vault. This top vault is closed by covering it with a concrete slab. The hole on the ground is then covered with soil and grass is then planted on the surface. In efffect, the 2 caskets or coffins are positioned on 2 levels, the …

Dear Anon, This recent posting, should help you understand, how to take a compass reading of the "mouth" or facing direction of a home:- - Start - 1. Please goto the conference: Feng Shui Tips and Guidelines. Immediately on the top page of the conference, try to read two articles: Part I Facing direction of a home Part II Facing Direction of a home. 2. More importantly, one need to understand the concept of Flying Star or what is considered as the "mouth" of the house from this article. If so, one can basically apply Flying Star Feng Shui more effectively. 3. And hopefully able to answer your questions, either more convincingly or with conviction. As no two homes a…

Frankly, the ideal choice (if possible) is "If it ain't "broken" don't fix it". If unsure, should always keep it as it is even if it has become greyish i.e. Do nothing.... is the best!

1. There are so many other concepts, why only consider: based on the Five Element theory? 2. Some concepts either logically makes no sense under the Five Elements concept or hard to apply strictly based on the such a concept. 3. For example; if a cabinet is made of wood but painted in red. Some consider it as a fire element because say the entier cabinet is in red lacquer. While some other person may argue that it is a wood element as the entire cabinet is really made of wood. 4. Therefore, usually another concept is applied, here. This concept is none other than "Symbolism in Feng Shui". 5. Thus, symbolism looks at the overall picture. For example, it does not matter wh…

Dear Master Cecil Lee, Your reply had been really exciting.On this similar subject, i would like also to touch the subject on palm reading, fortune telling,and face reading.All these are related to one person life destiny.Sometime,when we look for a fortune teller in which they look into the palm reading and analyse the person face and gave quite amazing reply.And also,we do hear people say about life is fated.So,can FS change one person fate? Plus,when we apply FS to improve our life with the changes occur ...what would be the relation effect with palm reading,fortune telling,and face reading.Thank you for sharing your thought on this subject.
