Dear Vijay, I recommend that you take a three step approach: 1. What is the purpose of each concept? 2. What is it's strengths? 3. What is it's weakness? If the above is clearly understood, there is no issue in understanding what is 8 directions/Eight House vs Pillars of destiny (Ba Zi). There are already lots of replies to such related questions. Please do a SEARCH and try to figure out the above:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Actually, the best is one with a `metal' roof and with the clinger of an I-ching (circle with square) coin. However, from personal experience and because if it is to be used to neutralise #5 or multiples of it; many of the above mentioned wind chimes are too heavy to make any sound unless it happens to have heavy winds. This is because the copper rods with the coin clinger is too heavy. But, if one is currently using the above wind chime and other than for decoration; then this is fine. Thus, it is my opinion, that (FOR PRACTICAL) reasons i.e. if one wants to neutralise #5 or multiples of it or any other combinations with #3, #4 and even…

Dear Ingo, Usually, a river head is like a dragon's head. And often a river location draws activity. When water is concerned, it is considered inauspicious if: 1. it becomes a stagnat pool of water. 2. if the river seems to `cut-into' the development. Yes, your city sounds very enchanting:) 3. Overall, based on your description, the building you live in sounds ok to me. Often, it is the friction of water with air(even if it is on the surface of a river) that creates ions. Better if it is positive ions that are created. Reference url: 1. Water classics of AD600:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-wclassic.htm 2. Water, water, everywhere... http://www.geomancy.…

Dear Veronica, 1. In my opinion, no. This is not Feng Shui. Neither is it Ba Zi (Eight Characters/Pillars of Destiny). 2. This is because, what you had mentioned, cannot be related to The Five Elements Concept and Yin and Yang. 3. Most probably, (in my opinion) the practitioner may have his/her toes laughing when he/she gave this advise. 4. Many of us genuinely approach a FS practitioner for advise and I must say; really what was mentioned goes against any commonsense approach especially what makes it special about say a Toyota vs a Nissan? 5. Numerology methods can be very (very) diverse. It may have to do with phonetic sounding words e.g. 8 or `Fatt' (luck) in Cantones…

Dear Jen, It should be better known instead as "commercial luck" item. Usually, it is called commercial luck because, the PEOPLE WHO SELL sell these items will get "commercial luck". But, if we feel good, then, may be, just may be... man luck:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, I believe you are missing the point. Even if a wind chime CAN be used in Feng Shui does not give it an `outright' stamp of approval to be used at one's whims and fancy. The other option is for a person, who is not aware of Feng Shui, liked it and install it. This is based on one's feeling and perhaps six sense. Frankly, this is the last that I will entertain such questions. If you feel that the world perhaps revolves around such objects, please go to other forums that will see the world of commerical products. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. There are sufficient resources to highlight the dangers of using wind chime(s) via SEARCH feature in this forum.

Dear Hoa Luong, Please see below:- Check to see if water colours (blue, black or grey) is present in your brother's room. In addition, are there already lots of wood in the room? e.g. furniture in wood or laminated wood? If so, then, it is best to try and avoid especially the water elements (colours) in his room. Since, guys usually have a preference of blue. In addition, it is good to place a 6 coins in his room. This is to help him in his work area. For the kitchen, other than the real water positions e.g. wash basins, is the kitchen cabinets/walls in blue, black or grey (other than the flooring. If your mum cooks often, it is acceptable. Since `fire' (in cooking) …

Dear Leroy, Many of us have grown up with pets e.g. companion dogs etc... in our home. But in a school environment, we are not allowed to keep them. Frankly, since you are young, and if you really enjoy having a small bowl of fish, usually, there is really no issue in doing so. I believe, it can serve as a stress relief:) Go with what your heart feels:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Teresa, 1. Appreciate if you can elaborate further. 2. From what I read, perhaps you are mentioning that the main door is located at your `disaster' (Eight House). And this is influenced by Flying Star #6 mountain with #7 water? 3. If this is the case, we should not mix the Eight House with Flying Star. 4. If #6 is with #7 (and without looking at the base #no; then these two are metal elements: #6 is strong metal with #7 weak metal. 5. Again, with reference to the base #no; this can be considered as a classic case of "wealth" corner in Flying Star Feng Shui. 6. Under the Flying Star Feng Shui, if there are: 6.1 If this is frontage of the house (which signifies clear…

Dear Anon, The best bet is always to (first) try and find a house that has relatively good external and internal shapes and forms. After this, try to see if the house can fit the breadwinner. Frankly, how I wish I can give you a one line reply but (unfortunately) this is impossible. More importantly try to realislistically understand and take notes on these following schools: 1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; (VERY IMPT) 2. Ba Zi (Pillars) 3. Compass Schools: 3.1 Eight House (VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND APPLY) 3.2 Flying Star (NICE TO KNOW) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Landed property: If the house is a second-hand home, try to do a `Feng Shui walk around' of the entire estate. Stand just outside the home and even 10 metres away (facing the home). Look to see if the house is sloping? Next, w=Walk past the house next to the house you are considering. Look in to see the overall state of condition. For second-hand homes, always try to see if you can find out more of the house's history? Why did the current owner / previous owner want to sell it? For apartments or flat: There are also many rule-sets. If you have the time do visit the forum resources e.g. Singapore Property and also Photo Tours of Interest (with pictures). There are many ex…

Dear Jen, There are several other ways of looking at this: 1. Wealth creation model of Five Elements Under the destructive cycle, one will for example, notice that METAL destroys WOOD. In order for METAL to destroy wood, metal has to be strong. For example, a scupture has a piece of wood. He makes much effort using metal implements to curve it into an art object. The original piece of the wood costs say $5. But as an art object, it may depending on the work done fetch him much much more. For a Strong metal person, therefore, his wealth element is Wood element. Similarly for a Strong Water person, his wealth element is Fire element. 2. However, if a person is considered a…

Dear Anon, It is more fruitful therefore to re-string it to a 6 rod wind chime. Usually, if your house is a period 7 house; and since this is just after the new Lunar year, the year in question especially East no longer has #5 while South no longer has #2 (although there may be other numbers). Given this, some homes (depending on the flying star at the specific sector) may no longer has two #5's in some homes. (Although some homes may still have two #5's or #5 misfortune/sickness with #2 sickness). For those homes that does not have two #5's (or #5 with #2) then, the influence at this sector will get better during this year (unless #5 or #2 flies in to that specific …

Dear Anon, One size does not fit all when it comes to auspicious dates as at least both bride and bridegroom's ba zi have to be looked at and date(s) selected based on this. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, In general, a ba gua or ba gua mirror should not be used inside a home. It is used facing out of a home. Try to check out a set of resources that I had posted last year under Photo Tours of Interest (with pictures). Under this link one can find the various types of Ba Gua mirror(s). Some have a Kirin figure, while some have a set of door gods on it. In many of such instances, the Ba Gua mirror is used for two reasons: 1. to ward-off evil and or 2. to neutralise sha qi e.g. facing a T junction. Some mirrors have concave, while others have convex or even flat mirrors. Under the above resource, I had covered some of this information. However, if it is meant to …

Dear Hoa Luong, Please take it down immeidately! This is because of the combination of #6 (big or strong metal) with #8 (water star). This #6 already fuels #8 or metal produces #8. By adding your additional 6 coins, this becomes a vicious cycle of creating more water. Or as you have found out, can lead to `water related' problems. Perhaps, can you describe what elements are already in your room: a. wardrope colour b. wall colour c. often used bed sheet colour d. curtain colour. Currently the 6 coins can be detrimental because effectively, you most likely have a three combination flow where: Metal -> Water -> Wood and when you add 6 metal again, this is another cont…

Colour to Paint
by Guest-

Dear Emily, If one is applying Feng Shui, the basis of choosing colours to paint is based on one's ba zi (favourable) and if the house is owned by husband/wife, then especially for the bedroom and living room area, the binding element plus which sector the room is at can affect the consideration for the colours. Please note that this free advise forum does not cover personalised date of birth as this is usually needed in a ba zi analysis. Colours to paint is dependent on ba zi element and strength.

Dear Anon, BA GUA MIRROR WAR Unfortunately, this is a lose-lose situation. It would have been best if (earlier) you did not place a convex ba gua mirror. By doing so, it would be a `natural thing' for your neighbour to place another mirror to deflect your mirror. In fact, now it is the opposite situation: instead of (you) first putting up a Ba gua mirror, now your convex is now instead used to deflect the ba gua. Anyway, as mentioned earlier, this is a lose-lose situation on both sides. Perhaps, at a later stage, (since) you were the first to place it up, see if u can swallow your pride and speak to the neighbour to see if both sides can remove it. (If you can). Warmest R…

Dear Anon, 1. From past experience, usually if the toilet is exactly at the centrepoint, this is already one handicap of the home. 2. From what you had described; the toilet does not seem to be located at the centrepoint. Which seems promisingly OK. 3. However, usually it takes two or more major handicaps in the house to bring down the Feng Shui of a house. Often, these are finance/career related problems and subsequently cumulate to other problems e.g. heath, marriage etc... 4. I always emphasise that the `saving' factor is the external shapes and forms of the house and for the interior: good shapes and forms. 5. Often, simple things like qi flowing from the main entranc…

Dear Jen, Please see below:- Last year, I went out to buy various Ba Gua mirror. And created some resources under conference Photo Tours of Interest (with pictures) Please do a SEARCH under this conference for terms like " Ba Gua " or " convex " and you can visually see the different types of Ba Gua mirrors. Some mirrors are convex, concave, some have door gods on it, some have a lion with two swords in its mouth. Please take the effort to go thru these resources, first. Under the above resource, I have also indicated which type of Ba Gua mirror is normally being used. For those who wants to learn authentic Feng Shui should do more research, first. I personally on…

Dear Michele, The key success factor here are: 1. Feng Shui or Earth Luck It is best to harmonize the bedroom to suit one's Ba Zi. For a married couple then go for the `binding' element (Do a SEARCH in this forum for the term: binding ) 2. What is Metal element: Metal element is white or gold. On a personal level, this can be the clothing or object e.g. some gold items e.g. jewellery or a chain. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Stan, Frankly, too many ba gua mirror is an overkill. As mentioned in the earlier e-mail, sometimes, many of us like to hear `nice' things. Often, these are more of Ren Cai or man or human luck. It may make us feel good (perhaps a short while) but when it does not work - who do we blame? This is why, many Feng Shui practitioners are often act more like `counsellors' than Feng Shui practitioners. Often, this is a psychological thing. For example, often after every of my audit, the client (Chinese) would ask : where is my `wealth corner'. I can understand that it would certainly make one feel nice to have such a corner or that such a corner existed. And some practit…
