Dear Anon, Frankly, there is really no harm leaving it until after the 22 February 2005 -- anytime after the last day of CNY. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master Cecil Thanks very much your prompt reply. However, I think I did not make myself clear. My wealth element is wood hence I am a Strong Metal and not wood person as you mentioned in your reply. Can a Strong Metal person take up a Wood career since Wood is my wealth element? Thanks Once Again Paris Chee Yahoo! Mobile - Download the latest ringtones, games, and more!

Dear Anon, Please refer to my previous posting on the same subject of lion dance. In the past, the traditional lion dance was performed on the last day of lunar celebrations i.e. 15 Lunar day i.e. since CNY officially starts on 8 February 2005 this year; then 22 February 2005 is suppose to be the last day and lion dance performance. However, in modern times, and for practical purposes in my opinion, it is particularly good or meaningful to usher in the lunar new year especially on or before the 15th day of celebrations. This is to allow for the troupe to be able to perform at your home. If one lives in a landed property, the challenge is to hang a lettuce vegetable wi…

Hi there, I am facing terrible problems in family relationships, health, finance, andc career.. Since the time we have moved to this new place... everything in life seems to be messed up.. Someone suggested I have a look at Feng Shui.. Honestly, I dont a thing about it.. Now i do aftred couple of websites.. but no clue on where to start.. To give you an idea, its a 2 bedroom, kitchen, and living room. bedrooms are in the east. kitchen in the south and living room starts north and extends towards south, with the main door at the south. We used to sleep with our heads in the north, but after reading some bits about website, we moved out bed direction towards south,…

Dear Anon, To Chinese, the red banner symbolises good luck. Actually, the best "counter" is (for the Chinese) is also hang a similar red banner on your front door. There is no religious implication especially if it is a plain read cloth (no issue with the elaborate tassle). Ideally, both parties hanging it - will equate to "square-one". Under the destructive cycle of the Five elements concept: the most effective element to control fire is water e.g. blue, black or grey. But it would be inauspiciousto haveespecially black coloured e.g. carpet matetc.... But blue carpet can be considered. Under the productive cycle of the Five elements another element that can help dra…

Dear Mr. Foo, You see each section of the Luck flow is analysed individually. Meaning, that the 10-year luck is analysed only on 10-yearly luck. It does not use the 5-yearly luck to determine whether it is Auspicious or Inauspicious. So the same thing here is the yearly luck is analysed on it's own to give you a grading whether the year is Auspicious / Average / Inauspicious for example. A year can be Average, but have Very auspicious 6-monthly luck which only means to say that that year though is average is of a much better year compared to another year that is Average, but have Inauspicious 6-nthly luck. However, it isn't as good as a year that is Very Auspicious, a…

Further to what I had mentioned, the key to understanding "LUCK" in Geomancy is the Holy Trinity of Luck: Here: 1. Heaven Luck (day we were born) - what we are suppose to be born with. 2. Earth Luck or Home or office Feng Shui. 3. Human (Man) Luck 1. HEAVEN LUCK Some people are born with a silver spoon thus, we say that they have a very good Heaven Luck (or excellent Ba zi) 2. EARTH LUCK Others gain significantly from a good or excellent home. Many of these homes have a "quantum leap" in Feng Shui. And money literally pour in because of the good Feng Shui coming from their earth homes (earth luck). 3. BOTH generally can be considered as "Money falling out of th…

When applying the Compass School of Feng Shui or taking reference of each direction; one should locate the center-of-gravity of the home. From this centrepoint, locate the west compass direction (270 degrees). This will be the direction of The Grand Duke/Tai Sui of a site or home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Pam, Since the Chinese use the lunar calendar to find out the year, CNY this year only begins on 8 Feb 2005. Thus, the year flying star chart should normally start around this time instead of 1.1.2005. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sophia, Please see below:- Often, if such a painting is drawn, the fishes should be in their elements i.e. water. This is because under the productive cycle of the Five Elements concept, Metal - Your three fishes paintingwith chillies, onion and tomatoes etc... looks like the fishes are close to being cooked? This is really an odd painting. It seems very cruel type of painting. Fortunately, you did not present it to the Shaolin Monks! Else, they may take you to task! Firstly, they don't eat live "animals" andif such a painting is presented to them, they may perhaps scringe with agony at the thought of this painting. Frankly,hope you don't mind me sayin…

Dear Anon, I hope you can understand that since no two homes are identical or similar, it is quite difficult to place an exact percentage to a home. But often, especially in Asia the concept "the rich gets richer" remains very true for the fact that they often can buy beautiful sites to build their homes. The ideal type of homes are considered to have a "quantum leap" in Feng Shui. Which I had already shared some of the information. These types of homes usually have the characteristics of excellent external shapes and forms. While some others "borrow" or rather "rob" luck from others. Under the second category "rob" luck, here, you will often see a Geomancer scanning …

Dear Adeline, The best approach is breakdown luck into three categories: 1. Heaven Luck (what we are suppose to be born with) 2. Earth Luck (our home /office environment) 3. Human (Man) Luck (our relationship with each other) Commonly known as "the Holy Trinity of Luck". Each type of luck can either help boost or remain unchanged or degenerate depending on specifics. Our home/office (earth luck)usually can make alot of difference in wealth retention. However, for Man Luck, such as a person's ambition or non-ambition, this is difficult to change .. especially one's character. For example, there are many who continue to work for others but can be at a lost or find it…

Dear Timothy, Since this is a rented place, one option is to "cover" it up e.g. some type of a poster/paper-sheet where it can easily be removed once you moved-out of the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mac, There are two sides of the coin to this:- 1. Naturally from a Feng Shui point of view - under symbolism, it is not favourable to display animals such as wolves. In the Chinese history, wolves are not revered because these animals are considered as both cruel and greedy. In addition, a wolf-in-sheep's clothing is also considered as a lecter or sex-stalker. 2. However, in many other countries or customs, it is perfectly alright to have (in the past) rug skins. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sophia, Actually, many of the beliefs centres around the Grand Duke of Jupiter or the concern of Tai Sui. In fact, this year Tai Sui resides at SW sector until after the 15th day of the 1st lunar month. And because of this, this is why the idea of not "confronting Tai Sui" at SW on the 1st day of Chinese New Year. For next year i.e. in 2006 before the 15th day of the next 1st lunar month in 2006, Tai Sui will be at the West direction. Thus the belief is that one should not antagonise Tai Sui during the new year. There is no harm in playing safe. But one has to be practical, here. Imagine! if this is the only door, then looks like one should'nt leave the house f…

Dear Sophia, One of the methods or "conditions" that can help change a home to a Period 8 home is (besides renovations) is to invite the lion (lion-dance) into the home. This act of the lion "threatening" the home and in return, the owners hang a red-packet or hong-bao is traditionally done on the 15th day of the 1st month of the lunar calendar. Thus since this year's Chinese New Year (CNY) starts on 8 Feb 2005, traditionally the lion-dance is held on the last day of CNY or 22 Feb 2005. The lion dance actuallycame from Western Asia to China during theTangdynasty. For those with private business, do take note that for start of business, one shouldopen business either…

Dear Sophia, There are generally three meanings associated with birds:- 1. Longevity Paintings usually with white birds signify longevity. And thus one of the connotation can mean that "100 birds signify living to" guess what age? 100 years! Imagine! even by today's standard, living to a ripe age of81 or 91 years canalready be difficult for majority of us. Not say until 100! Thus, I strongly believe, a painting with 100 birds (usually whitecoloured bird such as cranessimply signify this. 2. The Phoenix 2.1 In many traditional wedding cards; one can find a motif on the invitation card with a Phoenix and dragon motif. The phoenix represents (female - bird or yin), wh…

Dear Master Lee: Thank you for your previous response. If I cannot activate a mountain star in a sum-of-ten house because of the window, will that diminish the good effect of the sum of ten in that location? Thank you very much for your advice, Pam

Thank you, Master Lee, for your advice. I have two more questions, please. You wrote: To avoid lawsuits, you have to check out where is the Lu Chun Xing (Star 3 - Wood) under the flying star analysis. If there are such stars present in areas such as your main door, frontage, bedroom or study room which you use. These are the stars you want to neutralise so as to reduce any such lawsuits/conflicts. The solution is to have more Metal.Fire is also possible so long as there is no Star 2/5 present. These are the stars normally associated with the Lawsuit issues. Would this apply to a sector where the Lu Chun Xing is either the Mountain star, Water staror where it is just t…

Dear Anon, Anyway, to make it easy, Cecil has already classify some careers into the five element relationship:- Water Career Advertising, Arts, Brewing, Communications, Computers, Drinks, Healing, Laundry, Literature, Manufacturing, Media, Music, Therapy It is not exhaustive, but it should serve as a guide. Just wearing colour isn't good enough. You will need to have more than that to make a weak wood stronger. You need to have as many areas in your life with more water element (ie colours, career, house etc). Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Catherine, Generally, whether or not a date is auspicious or inauspicious depends on lots of factors. In terms of ba zi, luck is always changing every 10-year, 5-year, yearly, 6-monthly, monthly, daily and hourly. So each person's luck is different from day to day. It is very difficult to tell you for sure which day would be good or bad for you. That is where the general tung shu comes in. Every year, analysis is done to generally tell you when which day is aupicious or not. So most likely what you have read from comes from something similiar. A lot of this also depends on how supertitious and how much you believe. To me anyway, Weddings is joyous occasion. Usual…
