Dear Anon, 1. For the Eight House Template, consider these three main uses: 1.1 To find out if a house is suitable for you. If the “death” or “disaster” line passes through the main door, then according to Eight House Theory, the house is not suitable for you. 1.2 To check which unseen force is affecting your bedroom. 1.3 At work, this theory helps guide you to the best direction to face. These are the main uses of Eight House Theory. Besides these, it has some serious limits. It cannot be used as a cure because it does not use the Five Elements concept. Unlike the Flying Star method, which can find imbalances using the Five Elements and help fix th…

Dear Anon, 1. This question is very interesting. 2. For the Chinese, many burial sites, both past and present, are chosen for their good Feng Shui. 3. The belief goes back to the Ching and Ming dynasties. Ancestors buried in special places are thought to bring luck to their descendants. 4. But there is a catch—a burial site that starts out good may not stay that way. Construction, digging up soil, or flattening hills can change how lucky the site is. 5. In Singapore, many of the best places were chosen for burials in the past: 5.1 For example, Orchard Road—across from Tangs or Marriott hotel and the current Orchard Road MRT station—used to be…

Dear Meei Jinn, Often if you are close to the equator, I personally find that the geographical North often coincides with the magnetic North. For a layperson, one often use a hiking compass. It still points to the magnetic north. For us, we often use a higher grade compass like the Suunto or other better brands. This is because; the higher professional compass often are "balanced" to a specific zone. For example,the Suunto brand categorise the world into 5 different compass zones. Northern hemisphere which includes Canada/North America falls under Zone 1 etc... But one is not expected to buy this type of compass. From my personal analysis; if you are in Singapore, more li…

Yes, as long as the pointed triangle roof is not facing a unit, that is fine. Some units that face the private estate have the master bedroom, second bedroom, and even the living room looking toward the pointed roofs of the landed properties. In this context, a ‘pointed triangle roof’ refers to a roof design where two sloping sides meet at a sharp angle, forming a peak or tip, much like the letter ‘A’ or a triangle. This type of roof is often seen in traditional houses and can create a clear, pointed shape. Examples include: 1. A-frame Roof: Both sides of the roof slope down steeply from a central ridge, creating a triangular profile when viewed from th…

These are some considerations:- 1. You wrote: Is it true? 1.1 Yes, if you are strictly applying the Gua or Eight House; 1.2 It can be classified into: 1.3 The direction / Location significance / Status (good or bad) and even suitable for what purpose (if any). 2. Attached please find a sample illustration of a random Gua number and it's associations. 3. The rest of the questions are beyond this forum. 4. You also wrote: "Kindly advise asap as we are going to view this coming Sunday...." 4.1 It is good to remind ourselves that if we do have a time constraint; spare a thought for others. As they also have time constraints. Courtesy begets Courtesy especiall…

Dear Xin Xin, Please see below: Feng Shui is all about symbolism. And since 6 represents big metal; six coins are often used as a cure. Sometimes 3 coins are used also because the number 3 represents wood. And as the coins are symbolic of metal (real metal), under the five elements concept: metal destroy wood to "create wealth". This is why, sometimes, some FS practitioners or authors recommend using a string of three coins. Often, if one has these items for more than a month and found no problems - life goes on as usual, then, there is no problem in not doing a spiritual cleansing. What you mention, sounds like an amateur cleansing, and more likely it is made to…

Dear Eve, Actually, I personally do not think that is absolutely correct. It is similar to saying that everyone has the same Eight House Direction or Pillars of Destiny. To determine if a statement is accurate, we need to consider which theory the Feng Shui Master used for their prediction. I am not sure if you have seen the recent emails about Chinese Astrology and the 12 Animal Signs. From that perspective, you will notice that everyone’s luck for the year varies, depending on both your own animal sign and the animal sign of the year. You may want to continue using the cures suggested based on your Pillars of Destiny. In addition, you could also consider …

Dear Robert, Having done tens and thousands of International Ba zi, I strongly recommend, keeping your date of birth as it is i.e. your own country. Do a SEARCH if you want to find out past postings by us on this subject i.e on the issues of "GMT" conversions etc.... Warmest Regards, Cecil

A lot of things has happened this two months which first started with the dog becoming sick (and is still sick) when he was previously healthy, then I became very ill from Shingles. Then our TV is not working suddenly and today, my husband and daughter fell quite badly during their usually cycling. Is this bad feng shui or pure coincidence? How can I identify which area went wrong.

Dear Gines, 1. Yes, I have used your layout plan provided to find out the centrepoint of the house. 2. The centrepoint looks like it is at the same location as what you had drawn. Please see below:- Please refer to attached sample showing, North, South, East, West, NE, SE, SW, NW. (every 45degree increment). The easiest is to use a protractor to draw the outline. You do not have to worry if the living room or dining room is `L-shaped'. By dividing as shown in the attachment, it will fit in different sectors. Under the compass school of Feng Shui: Eight House and Flying Star, you need to determine the direction of the main entrance door. Here, it is meas…

1. Really sorry to hear about it. (The constructions coincide withthe two of the worst sectors for this year 2010) 2. In the meantime, the best that can be done (crossing fingers) is to place "metal" between your home and the "offending" construction(s):- 2.1. Temporary purchase those aluminium foil and if windows or bay window areas at waist height face the construction then consider temporary placing aluminium foils. And for open areas (without damaging the fixtures) try to hang wind-chime to "counter" partially the issue(s). 3. As for shifting to another home:- 3.1 One major concern is hopefully the next apartment is a better one than this one else, it goes back to squ…

1. Appreciate if you do not post multiple postings. This and the past. As all messages in this forum are moderated. Quote: Melody V. wrote: Thanks for your help. I have considered the 2 factors you mentioned. First, my mother's bedroom will have blinds so that will take care of the sunset. Plus, she can always use airconditioning.

No matter how, just to take note that even for a Period 7 home, under Period 8, a period 7 home's chart would already lose some of its energy epecially if these were once auspicious under Period 7 e.g. double 7's etc... Since your layout is like it is, if you really need to use the stove, there is frankly not much choice unless one has a wet or dry kitchen or could bear buying a simple burner stove etc.. to be placed at another identified location. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. It is good to hear that all the tables are already setup. This is the key issue. Since, it would not be good if you actually see your partition torn down and see your table move over to the new location. 2. As your new table is ready, wait for your colleague to move-out. For your move. If you do not have much items, simply place it into boxes such as the paper copier empty boxes. And bring all of them at one go to the new work-top. This is relatively no issue as compared to Para 1. 3. This portion is not Feng Shui but more of a belief:- When you do begin to move; just stroke your back a few times and mumble to yourself ie. "to your child" that we are moving …

Hi Anon, Just as my reply to the other review query. At this point, not able to comment yet as we haven't yet have time to review it. Not going to be able to give you anytime frame as to whether it will be reviewed or not. But like I mentioned, if you do have units you like from that condo, then it is best you seek professional advise such as can or cannot buy service to review before buying it. Hope that helps.

Dear Judy, Thanks for the picture of the layout plan. 1. Yes, you can use an ordinary compass. 2. In the past, I had investigated many years back the `long houses' especially in parts of East Malaysia. These long houses, even when they were made of wood had unusual compass readings where the readings internally vary in different compartments. 3. I hope you don't mind if you can: 3.1 Go to a barren land or an open space near to your home. And take a compass reading perhaps from different areas. (Becareful of some open space as it may be littered with (hidden) such as thrown away metal etc... 3.2 Goto the different "compartment" and take the compass reading to check if the…

Dear Ramaa, In my opinion, every location is a `wealth sector'. And it is important to know what is good or bad at this sector. If one uses Compass School (Flying Star) Feng Shui, each sector has three elements. And depending on a sector and location, we can either try to neutralise a sector (if it has bad stars) or enhance the sector. For example, if a sector has bad stars such as #5 or #2, then we try to neutralise these elements if they create an imbalance at that sector. If a double 7 is found at the main door. 7 represents metal. And since this is the frontage of the house; we can further enhance this metal sector by introducing e.g. a water feature say at the garde…

In my opinion, it is best not to look at the facing direction on a "piece-meal" basis" only. Recently, I had posted a "checklist" of activities that is based on important Feng Shui concepts:- 1.1 For example, your home should also start with how and where the drainage of your home drains out of your home. In all homes, usually there are two or three drainage-out of your home that conveys Wealth and Power and Authority for those staying in the home. Other exits of drainage may lead to poverty etc... 1.2 In addition, an East facing home usually will be "bathed" by sunlight in the morning and the area behind can be affectd by afternoon sun. Considerations of the bedroom,…

Please note that for Geomancy.net and all it's various calculators; for user convenience; all your inputs of any dates of birth should be western date of births. Our system will automatically convert all dates of births into the Lunar dates. This is because many people, even many younger Chinese do not know their exact lunar birth-dates.

1. Please refer to my most recent comments under this topic: Identify Period Of House Posted in: Earth Luck :: Flying Star (Xuan Kong) House Posted on: Sun, 02 Nov 2008, 21:46 PM, 2. The above message highlights two major Arguments and my comment is that if necessary, one may need to consider drawing several Flying Star charts for such a home. Frankly, this is the most sensible approach which is adopted by many competent practitioners.

Hi, Please read below:- Generally, you still can, but not advisable if your situation is such that you have too much of water. What you should try to do is reduce the influence. However, please do not take it the wrong way or go to the extreme. Lets say that even if you are considered a Strong Water, does that mean that you cannot have metal? Remember that Feng Shui is about balance, and it is best to have a little of everything. This means that if in your Pillars you find that you do not have any Earth, then you should still try to create some earth by wearing some earthly colour or use Fire to produce what you lack. Why should you still have some unfavourable elem…

Dear CECIL, I had posted a similar question earlier. My confusion is that houses sitiing in the East directions are called EAST houses. Then according to this the house should face West(sitting in East),or North(sitting in South) or South(sitting in North) orNW(sitting in SE).Now out of these NW and W are not considered to be good directions for the East group people, especially if they happen to be Death and Disaster directions for an individual. Please comment. Thanking you very much.
