Dear Koslan, Please see below:- 1. Thank you for raising this intriguing question. 2. Aside from the 33.3% ruleset, symbolism plays a role in Feng Shui: 2.1 For instance, when implementing a metal cure, it is not mandatory to utilize large amounts of 'metal'. In this context, 'Big metal' or substantial quantities of metal are symbolized by the number 6. Consequently, 6 i-ching coins are frequently employed to signify 'large quantities of metal'. 2.2 In reference to Para 2.1, we observe that adherence to the 33.3% ruleset is not required, allowing us to alternatively apply 'symbolism' in Feng Shui. 3. Applying a wood cure can be particularly challe…

Dear Vicki, 1. There are two major theories/concepts to refer to on the placement of water positions. 2. The two major concepts are:- 2.1 Shapes and Form Feng Shui Here, it would depend on the type of water position. If the water position is flat e.g. a ground level pond e.g. for koi fish etc... than this can be represented by `clear space'. But if it is a fish tank, usually the fish tank is tall with leg stand, than it cannot represent `clear space'. `Clear space' is akin to a bird flying freely infront ... unobstructed. Usually water positions that provide clear space are especially good at the frontage of the home. While fish tank should be placed against a wall. Hong…

Dear Matthew, 1. I would assume that your parents may not want to spent too much money in the improvement of the basement. 2. Basically, you can go down to using the Yin and Yang concept as a starting point. 3. Here, you may have to ask yourself the question: "Do I sleep and work at the basement. Or both". 4. Since this is the basement, assuming that there is minimal light, it is best to have light coloured walls (to brighten up) the basement. 5. More yin suggests, more rest. But if you need to study or do work at the basement, then, have a balance of both yin and yang. 6. If there is natural light coming into the basement, do take advantage of this. 7. More importantly, …

Dear Sophia, From many of the current cases, usually the most common (neutral) element for the main entrance door is natural wood or wood stained in various colours e.g. pine, walnut, rosewood etc... In addition, doors that are also: white or off-white or cream or pastel shades of colours are considered acceptable and often a non-issue at all. For those who want to consider door colours such as "primary" colours (BRIGHT) i.e. Red, Blue, Green or Yellow could perhaps check the suitability, first. Otherwise, if natural / laminated wood or wood tone colours are used, do go ahead with it. In addition, if one is constructing a new home, could perhaps, use the Feng Shui r…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: West is Longevity, Noth is Spook, East is Irritation, South is Disaster. Anonymous wrote: Qu 1: Which is worse off,Spook or irritration? These two are actually about the same. But at least they are not as bad as Death or Disaster sector. So you might want to check, whether which bedroom location is more suitable to all family members etc. That can then help you decide which is generall more suitable to your entire family.

1. Some people have the opinion that since (the person's) home is a period 7 home; they were "told" that their homes MUST fly to Period 8 in order to obtain positive luck. 2. In real life situations, some homes have expensive renovations done or the quality of build is at the premium or luxury level. And to make major renovations is both costly and not practical. 3. Thus whether the Flying Star chart is a Period 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8, one can still see if one can tap the beneficial benefits UNDER PERIOD 8. 4. For example, I had mentioned countless of times, that if you are applying Flying Star, then check to see if the following Flying Star numbers CAN or MAY be activa…

Dear Panya, 1. Having the main door at one's death location is not ideal but is not `the end of the world' senario. Here, we consider that the house is the least suitable to the breadwinner. 2. Try to look at it from a `bigger' picture: 2.1 Check also the influence in your bedroom i.e. places you spent most of your time at. The above is only one puzzle i.e. the use of the Eight House Theory. 3. Even if you have not so good Eight House intangible forces, you can take advantage especially if the house has good Shapes and Form Feng Shui. 4. Here, since the main entrance is the `death' sector, I strongly recommend that you do a Flying Star analysis. What the Flying Star anal…

Dear Gerald, I am not sure whether are you working or studying. Normally for a bedroom or a studio apartment, it should be more Yin or `state of rest'. Therefore the type of environment would depend on what you are currently doing i.e this depends on whether you are studying (plus your study habits) i.e. in a dormitory or you are working and returning home to rest. Other than the above, check the lighting in the room. The type of light could affect the environment around you. If you are a student and often study in the room, it is good to have a small hifi or portable radio in your room. Music does create a `more yang environment'. Here the essence of a small studio apart…

Dear Ching Hsia, 1. To be frank, it is always easier to consult a reliable Feng Shui practitioner to do all the legwork for you. 2. But of course, you can do it on your own but would have to consider all the bits and pieces and like a zig saw puzzle piece them together. There are occassionally, the OOps! I think I have made a `mistake' in one or the other. Mistake may happen such as not considering a fundamental situation and the Oops turn up. For example, the house looks perfect but suddenly, without realising `oops' I forgot to check that the toilet is at the centre. Something like this. Please see below:- Each house has its own birth chart and a 3 year old house or…

Dear Kaushal, The Education, Scandal and Romance may be activated if you have a water element. Also, a water feature should not be activated here if it is not in the living room or open space area. You can only active the star if the area is neutralise (eg. your 6 coins) and if it falls in a bedroom with the direction having no windows. Please see extract in the next para. -- Extracted from Activating Mountain Star from the Flying Star Report -- The mountain star works only if an object is either hung on the wall at the location or something with mass is placed high on a shelf at this wall. -- End of Extract -- I will not go into details. Use the online Flying St…

Dear Anon, There are two dimensions when looking at the placement of a fish tank: 1. Shapes and Forms Often, the advise is to place it on the same wall along (but not close to) the main door. (Around the main door location) Avoid placing it at the centrepoint of the house. 2. Flying Star Feng Shui Under Flying Star Feng Shui, locations that has #7 and or #6 (PLUS) also that this is a water location e.g. the living room area - can be considered acceptable for a water postion. But under Flying Star, becareful not to place a water position at locations which #3 or #4 or multiples of these bad wood element. The rationale is that such a water position can `inflame' bad wood fu…

Dear Anooja, For both mountain and water star, one has to look carefully at the sector to see if it can be activated. For MS8, if it is at the north and if there is a wall behind it (not an open window), than the mountain star can be activated here. As opposed to the west. Since you had mentioned that west has a ws8. And ws8, goes with a water position not a mountain position. For example:- MS = 8 This is the current period - mountain star location. In your case, it is at North WS=8 In your case is at West. Or this is the water wealth location. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Edited by Robert: In future, such questions will not receive any reply nor will it be posted, as it will only open up to more users simply posting a date to ask us if it is good or bad. A good date needs to be check for ba zi compatibilty as well as tung shu key alamac influence. Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Can you advise if 20/May/2006 is a good wedding date? 20 May 2006 is considered po ri (broken day / self-punishment) in the normal tung shu. Unless the day is suitable to the ba zi, and there is no other dates, then it can be considered. Else, most of the time most people might avoid it simply because of the po ri (ie self-punishment) which isn't the best date for m…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- My advise is that if (one really wants to hang a windchime) it would be better to hang a 6 rod (hollow) wind chime instead of 5 rods wind chime. Symbolically 5 rods could invariably; represent "bad earth #5 element). A six rod windchime symbollically represents 6 metal or `Big metal'. You could hang the wind chime 1/2 feet away from the door. In my opinion, it would not be advisable to place an altar facing the main door. Or exactly facing the main door. The rationale is that it may be considered `disrespectful' as this may imply that the altar `gods' are tasked to look after the home. Much like a `security' guard. It would be advisab…

Dear Zarminae, Under the url below:- http://www.geomancy.net/polls/ You will find an interesting survey: " Are you comfortable sleeping facing a TV set (mirror)? A short simple 3 questions survey. " In the survey, it is interesting to find that many people feel that mirrors facing the bed may not be an issue. The test here is that if you feel comfortable despite the position of the mirror in your bedroom this is acceptable. But if you feel uncomfortable especially after waking up the next morning, then... it is best to re-site the mirror. Therefore, this would have to depend on a case-by-case basis. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, I believe, what you mentioned is a very common dilemma `affecting' many (many couples/families). Thus one consolation is that you are not alone in this. In many of the messages on Eight House concept in this forum: 1. It is good if the death or disaster sector is not at the main entrance particularly for the `breadwinner.' 2. The breadwinner is one who is considered to bring in the most money to the family. 3. Other than this, we should look at the sleeping sectors and what intangible force affects each member of the family. 4. Here, for example, if the bedroom is at North compass direction and is not a favourable direction for the husband but is a good sector …

Dear Gordon, In my opinion, I have seen yin and yang symbol tattooed before on a body. Basically, there should not be any issue with it being tattooed other than on e.g. private parts or locations like battock or the bottom of the feet. Should therefore, tattooed in appropriate locations e.g. arm ... The yin and yang symbol is in total, comprise a wide field much like the Swastica symbol used by Buddhist on Buddha. (Unfortunately, the Germany Nazi SS copied and used this symbol also). Therefore, the yin-yang symbol unlike the Ba Gua symbol as shown under the url: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-pakua.htm In particular, the First Heaven Sequence Ba Gua trigr…

Dear Hoa Luong, Hoa Luong wrote: According to the house hunting report for P8, both E1 and W2/3 have double 8s at the front door facing, but E1 is better suited for me than W2/3 house. This tells me that from a front door facing fengshui standpoint, the bazi element is more important than the 8-house suitability. Am I correct? Actually, flying star analysis of the main door will be most important in the house hunting, followed by Ba Zi, than followed by Eight House. Reason being is that Eight House is based on YEAR of birth, whereas ba zi uses even time of birth to analyse. Often, it is ideal to get a direction which both Eight House and Ba Zi element are favourable. F…

Dear Rochiel, 1. In my opinion, paying homage to a sector i.e. SW = Romance sector is too general to be applied to everyone in the world. 2. Can I confirm, how NW was derived as your Romance sector? 3. I believe, the size and types of crystals are really material objects and should merely serve as an interior decorative object. As there is no relation with the Five Elements Concept - which is the key to Traditional Feng Shui. 4. Then how are elements treated under the Five Elements Concept? 4.1 Under the Five elements concept, for example if we need to apply a `CURE'; we make sure that the cure can be EFFECTIVE. Here, this is where for example: 6 coins can be used to neut…

Dear Erika, A warm welcome to you:) Usually, if it is ascertained that e.g. a person is a weak fire person, (under the Five Elements concept), one can enhance personal-self e.g. in the clothes that we wear. For example, for a weak fire person, under the productive cycle (ref http://www.geomancy.net/fs/5element.htm ) Wood helps fire to grow. Thus wood color is green or brown. Alternatively fire element can also be used e.g. pink, red, purple. Under the destructive sequence, Earth destroys water. Earth can be a controlling element of `water'. Overall, under the Five Element concept, one should not go to the extreme i.e "hot or cold" but ultimately, seek a balance of all fi…

Dear Cheui May, 1. Since you are aware of your element and strength, using it is more accurate means of looking at the compatiblitiy of the home and the individual sectors of your home. 2. The reason is because, when one looks at the Eight House Theory, we generally use only the YEAR of birth to derive our personal GUA (KUA) number. However, under Pillars of Destiny, we use the YEAR; MONTH; DAY and (if the TIME of birth is available) use all 4 Pillars = Eight Elements (Stem and branches) to deduce our true element and strength. 3. Since the common denominator is the Five Elements, we know that each element or each sector represents an element e.g. North = Water element; S…

Dear Anon, I understand your situation/position as it is difficult to convince someone else on this. Strictly speaking, one should not even drill (i.e. touch the `grand duke' at the specific location). Unlike a situation where, " one does " a major renovation i.e. call a contractor to do it for `you'. This information is found under the Flying Star report at www.geomancy-forum.com Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angela, Please see below:- Primarily, the Eight House Theory or the East-West Group should not be used to activate good luck sectors. It has more to do with: 1. How suitable the house is to the breadwinners ; 2. It has to do with the time spent at that particular sector. If you want a feng shui friendly method (without resorting to the use of ba gua mirror) then my suggestion is to use a semi-circular carpet radiating outwards of the main entrance door. Do take note of the following: What is the element of the beam? If it is mostly made of concrete, then, you should introduce the wood element. Thus, the carpet should be green. Warmest Regards, Cecil
