Weak metal and strong fire
by Guest- 1 reply
- 1k views
Dear Colleen, Ref: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/5element.htm Under the destructive sequence: Fire destroys metal. Under the productive sequence: Fire helps Earth and Earth helps Metal. As you are a weak metal person, the strong Fire of your husband, destroys your weak metal, making it weaker. The best binding element is thus "Earth." If you notice carefully, Earth helps weak metal to grow. At the same time, it is `neutral' to the Fire element. How to apply the `binding element'. Here, Earth implies yellow colour or square. In your bedroom, or in locations where both of you spent time at, yellow colour such as pine wood or other yellow or square would help greatly. If you do…

Pray bell from a Japanese Garden

Dear Colleen, There are different levels of "participation" in Feng Shui. It depends on the following: 1. Generally, we can depend on our `feelings' to see where we want to place the prayer bell or 2. Use more scientific methods of Feng Shui such as doing a Flying Star Chart. Here, for example, a report should be able to tell us if it is acceptable to place a prayer bell. The use of method under Para 1 or 2 depends on the individual and your level of FS participation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tervino, It boils down to time factor:- 1. If one analyses the Eight House Theory carefully, it only considers the YEAR of birth. 2. Thus the Kua numbers under the Eight House Theory takes into consideration house directions based on YEAR of birth. 3. Pillars of Destiny, uses the YEAR, MONTH, DAY and TIME of birth. More advanced Pillars of Destiny considers two more pillars : Pillars of Life and Conception. Here, the final result or one's final element is considered `more' accurate than the one based on Kua numbers under the Eight House. Thus, in reality, one's Pillars of Destiny's element is theoritically more accurate because of this. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jennifer, Please see below:- For the North Corner, you mentioned that there is a bad Yellow Earth. I am not sure if you have considered the other star and base number here. Assuming that by comparing all three numbers, there is indeed an imbalance, the best cure for bad Earth (yellow) and especially if other elements also feeds it, then, it would be better to use 6 coins to represent strong metal to help destroy it. Although a wind chime can do some help. (But it should not be used in conjuction with 6 coins as there may be an overal imbalance caused by the addition of the 6 coins or wind chime. Where possible the water feature should be in a `water star' positio…

Dear Mary, Thank you for making the effort to describe the lot. However, it is quite difficult to provide an accessment because one really needs to look at the site inorder to properly evaluate the situation. Please see below:- 1. Using Flying Star to see which can be your best main entrance. And if possible, the house has good Flying Stars in the various rooms. 2. Use the eight house charts to see where the bedrooms and the main entrance (can be). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Colleen, Generally there are three main reports:- A. Eight House Report B. 20 Year Flying Star Report C. Pillars of Destiny Report A. Eight House Report It is good at this point to use a transparency place each member's Eight Intangible force on the transparency. Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Later this transparency is used to look at in particular, the intangible force affecting: 1. the main entrance door 2. the living room or areas where each person spents most time at. 3. the bedroom. Here it is used to try to see if one can place the bed at a good sector of the room. B. The 20 Year Flying Star 1. Firstly, Use this report to check for imbalances…

Dear Liz, Thanks for sharing with us the information. In my opinion, I feel that what you mentioned is correct and a certain `vacuum' or `pressure' created during the period. I am equally no expert in this but, it is also my personal observation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Annabelle, Total Feng Shui is quite like some of the `tests' we took in School. For example, some tests involve multiple choice questions; others filling in the blanks and essay questions. Out of 100 marks, certain marks goes to specific sections of an examination. For example, take the case of Feng Shui = 100 percent or marks. In a `Feng Shui' exam, we could allocate the following marks (although it may not be exact):- For a HOME:- Shapes and Form = 40 percent Eight House Theory = 20 percent Flying Star = 30 percent Pillars (other luck)= 10 percent Here, you can visualise that it is not the `end of the world' senario, if you purchased a house that may not …

Dear Anon, 1. With so much information on Feng Shui, it’s understandable that it can be overwhelming—not just because of the amount, but also due to how all the pieces fit together. 2. When applying Feng Shui, it’s best to take a holistic approach by combining effective techniques from the various schools. 3. You mentioned the Eight House and Flying Star theories. Another important consideration is the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui. 4. Most of us don’t have major problems at home or in the office. But when problems do arise, it’s important to identify and address them. For some, the goal is to enhance the space and improve health, happiness, and …

Dear Sonia, 1. In my view, and to be honest, a house number containing a 4 is not necessarily unfavorable. 2. In Cantonese, the number 4 is associated with the word 'SAY' which means 'DIE'. 3. Therefore, a Cantonese individual who may also be superstitious might prefer not to have a house number with a 4 in it. 4. Personally, my current residence is #04-01 and my new house, which will be ready soon, also contains "45" (i.e. a 5 in it). 5. I still decided to purchase it because, overall, as you mentioned that you 'liked it'. In my case, I have assessed the home based on: - Shapes and Form, - Eight House - Flying Star to confirm that it 's…

Hello, I read with interest regarding the given situation for a students room. 1) According to Shapes and Form FS, is it acceptable for a study desk not to be immediately against a wall. 2) and is it acceptable for the study desk to be facing a large built in wall size wardrobe - with say one of the desks sides immediately adjacent against a wall? 3) is it also acceptable to place a study desk with the persons back if there is a bed and balcony doors direclty behind the desk 4) i've attached a sample diagram. your comments is kindly appreciated. Kind regards Scott

Dear Kaushal, Yes, overall, the description you provided is certainly not a good `Shapes and Form' position. Usually, if the bed is next to the bedroom door, the best `defense' is to have a reading or side table. A lamp is placed on it. The above is symbolic of having a `partition' between the bed and the toilet door. In your present description, usually, a `low linen' cabinet is placed between the end of the bed and the bathroom door. But I am not sure if this is feasible. But this is one remedy. Closing the toilet door, may not work but it should be closed. Other than this, check for #2 (sickness) and #5 (misfortune) in the bedroom. Usually if it is not `Shapes and Form…

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 Anon, I am glad you find this website useful. If you want to just understand Feng Shui `lightly' please do not hestitate to view the caricatures at http://mypictures.geomancy.net Most of them are educational and makes understanding Feng Shui Fun. Usually, it is best to use the compass readings based on an empty site. However, even in a empty site, make sure that the ground below also does not have metal. The best method is to walk the ground and take compass readings from several locations outside the building. For the Compass School Feng Shui: The Eight House Theory and Flying Star, as the name suggest, it is truly based on the Compass readings But if one is more i…

Dear Ng, 1. From what I understand, your child is only a baby. But if your child is grown up around 2 years or more, it is best not to be wonder too closely to the graveyard area. 2. If there is a `funeral ceremony' best to stay clear of the back of the house or see the activities. 3. Where possible, there should not be too large trees at the back of your baby sister's home. If it is, even in day time it would not be advisable to have your child in this environment. 4. Usually, in the day time, it is less of a problem. But if your child constantly cries at your baby sitter's home, it is best not to have him/her stay with the babysister, otherwise, it is still acceptable. …

The house is a single detached residential house within a compound. The swimming pool is a part of the house since it was situated at the first floor underneath the living and dining rooms. Some says that this is not good because it resembles a grave. Is this true? Do we have to remove this swimming pool for our peace of mind. Thanks.

Dear Carina, 1. Where possible, it is better to have children sleep on as you mentioned, proper beds rather than on the floor. 2. Usually, it is still not as bad if the floor is paquet or wood flooring. This is because, tiles are cold and the belief is that it is better not to have them in the bedroom. Here, the main belief is that when one wakes up, when our feet touches the floor, it is best not to immediately step on `cold' tiles. A floor mat would do. 3. It is best that the toilet wall is not on the same wall as the toilet bowl. Where possible (weighing pros and cons), if safety is the concern than place the bed close to the wall. If the bed has side bars, the bed can…

Dear Kaushal, 1. Yes, some families use incense e.g. on a specific day of the week in their home. 2. Overall, it is not compulsory to use them especially if the air nearby is `clean' especially, if one lives in a landed property and there are trees or parks nearby. 3. There are `antiseptic' cleaners especially those used at hospitals for those who believe in them. Or the regular Dettol where a few drops are added to the pail of water. 4. The best `defense'is still living in a area (where possible) with clean surroundings. At home, try to ensure that the house has natural lighting and looks `bright'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kem Chong, Please see below:- To `test' whether this is a Sha Qi or poison arrow, try to stand at the main entrance facing out of the house. Is the fire hydrant tangent to your main entrance i.e. slicing the main entrance? If no, then it is not a poison arrow. Especially if it is at one side. Does the storm drain approach your main entrance directly? If not, then this is also not a poison arrow. Perhaps, you can first confirm the above. This should not be an issue especially if (if I read correctly) that both are on different floors. In order to have a direct line, the man entrance should be on the same line of sight as the master bedroom door on the same lev…

Dear Paixao, Usually, this is what many Chinese do when they move into a new home:- 1. Select an auspicious date. If one is not sure of a date, the two dates that are considered always auspicious are the 1st Day of the Lunar Month and the 15th Day of the Lunar Month. This is where both dates are on a full moon. The most recent Vesak Day holiday or (Buddha's Birthday fall on the 15th day of Lunar Month). 2. Does one have an altar or worship any deity. If yes, bring the `deity' on the same day as the day, one is moving into the house. 3. On the day of move: 3.1. First bring in the charcoal stove (usually the stove is made of clay and either in red or wrapped in red.) Red…

Dear Cheui May, By taking the sector, North is water, this is one of the usage under a another theory known as Ba Zhi Feng Shui. However, there is some disadvantage with this theory. It is because, for those who are not sure about this application and simply take North is water thus assume that it is suitable to a person is not 100 percent correct. As there are many other factors to consider e.g. clashes, triple combinations, twin combinations, harm, punishment, self-punishment and the 24 mountain element. If all these are not taken into account, the Ba Zhi Feng Shui is as static as using the Eight Aspirations theory where SW is romance etc... If you really want to use …

Dear Kaushal, 1. More importantly, if your home has a `missing corner' you should understand what the missing corner represents. 2. This URL shows the missing corner and its significance:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/building.htm 3. Yes, a missing corner can be `extended' by using mirrors to `increase' its depth. However, this does not necessary mean that it is the wealth corner. But rather, if a sector or area has missing corners greater than 33.3 percent; it is considered a missing corner. 4. Where possible, the location that you are placing the mirror should not be an inauspicious Warmest Regards, Cecil
