Case Study - Part. 1: Is it advisable to have a platform bed in a bedroom? 1. Some believe that standing on a raised platform or "stepping up" is considered auspicious when starting the day. This belief is rooted in the concept of: 1.1 The phrase "to ascend with each step or step-by-step ascension" is the literal translation. 2. Conversely, it is accurate that we ascend to the platform bed when going to sleep. However, upon waking up, instead of ascending each morning, one must descend the platform. 3. Therefore, this argument is flawed! It is advisable to opt for a regular bed, as every time we wake up, we will indeed have to physically step dow…

Some things can never be properly explained when they involve both stigmas and taboos ++ BROKEN TILE FLOOR Damaged tile flooring is rarely seen in residential interiors such as living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms. However, during the 1980s, some local homes used broken marble tiles that were filled and sealed with epoxy, usually in shades of white, cream, or light pink. While Feng Shui does not specifically address this issue, the field of symbolism, stigmas & taboos offers additional insight. Some people associate the word “broken” with negative meanings. In contrast, no one would consider evenly laid rectangular tiles undesirable, as this…

Upon analyzing the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui principles, it is evident that Fig 2 does not align harmoniously with the door frame of the bedroom. Additionally, it gives rise to a visual phenomenon known as a "zebra crossing" effect, where the floor panels appear to clash with the entrance to the bedroom space. Kindly refer to the attached document for further details.

Question: Oh, the Lucky Cat isn’t part of Feng Shui? I bought it from a Feng Shui shop. 1. The Maneki-neko cat actually originates from Japan. It isn’t a Chinese name. 2. Some dishonest sellers will try to sell almost anything as Feng Shui. 3. Do you think they really care? They’re only focused on taking your money. 4. When people stop buying, the selling will stop as well. 5. In ancient times, Feng Shui was all about nature, the surrounding environment, and understanding the stars. 5.1. Those practitioners from long ago would probably be shocked to see many of today’s practices. 5.2. These days, even many Feng Shui Masters w…

Be careful of this old Feng Shui scam Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially running Feng Shui stores in disguise. Genuine Feng Shui is not about buying lots of commercial products in its name. Always ask: “Do I really need to buy this from you?” In fact, the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. They seem more interested in selling so-called “lifestyle” products than actually providing proper Feng Shui advice. +++ What Chat GPT Says about Geomancy.net You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of pra…

Myths about the Chinese 7th month The Chinese 7th month traditions are deeply cultural and mostly symbolic. They should not be a source of fear or unnecessary restriction in daily life. Embracing these customs with understanding and kindness can give more meaning than worry. Q1. Should you avoid staying out late during the 7th month? No need to worry! In modern cities like Singapore, there's no evidence or special reason to avoid late-night activities during the 7th month. Most people are well-protected by their natural aura or yang qi, and the vast majority are not at increased risk during this period. Unfortunately, a small minority …

Location: Bedok Reservoir Village, Block 744 Bedok Reservoir Road, August 2012 1. Key: filth; disgustingly dirty 2. Today, I visited a coffee shop on Bedok Reservoir Road. 3. To access the toilet, you had to pass through a set of curtain screens. 4. I noticed that these two curtain screens looked very dirty. 5. These curtains can collect some of the most unpleasant germs. 6. The idea that people have to touch them is alarming! If your face happened to brush against them, the protective oil on your skin could be affected. 6.1. Just look at the fabric—so filthy. Yuck! 7. Even our computer keyboard is quite dirty; think of …

It is a misconception to regard an individual born between 11 PM and 1 AM as having been born on the following day.

1. Some geomancers argue that if an individual is born during the RAT hour (11pm to 1am), the birth date must be adjusted. 1.1 Therefore, if someone is born on February 6th between 11pm and 1am, the geomancer asserts that the birth date is now February 7th. 2. Nonetheless, there exists the concept of the RAT hour spanning across TWO days: 2.1 Consequently, if a person is born on February 6th at 0000HRS, their birth date will always remain on that day. 2.2 Similarly, if the individual is born on February 6th at 2359HRS, it …

As mentioned, previously, in Singapore and in the 1970's one of the most popular trees planted in a landed property garden is the mango tree. In the past, individual landed properties range from: 7,000sq. ft to 12,000 sq. ft for bungalows, half that for semi-detached homes and 1/3 to 1/4 of the above for a terrace homes. It is very common for many home owners to plant a mango or even several mango trees on the grounds of their landed property. In this example, as the mango tree was planted outside of the property; and because the large part of the floor area was covered by concrete; this would account for this tree to be smaller than what it can grow further. But …

Case Study: A degree in Common sense is free!" Common sense says that we must be wary of questionable advice! Since in the first place many of such illogical advice may not be free! You most likely paid or will have to pay for it. Once in a while, I get to hear new clients asking me: "My previous geomancer says" to lock up the master toilet. And they had not used it for the last 5 years! The key essence is "YOU stay there!; we (geomancer's) Don't!" applies. We only visit a home for several hours and YOU have to live with our consequences... or DO YOU?

1. All esteemed Feng Shui Masters from history were, in essence, ordinary individuals, much like ourselves. 2. Historically, numerous Feng Shui Masters acquired their knowledge from a variety of texts. 3. A common trait among the most distinguished Feng Shui Masters is their open-minded approach to practice, demonstrating a willingness to learn. Their primary success factor lies in implementing strategies that consistently yield positive results while discarding those that do not. 4. Classical texts on Feng Shui have never incorporated items such as crystals or many contemporary commercial products. 4.1 In fact, duri…

The view from the main entrance door allows me to peer into the inner workings of the kitchen. Master Lee, frost up or white roller blind (outside on wall or inside kitchen) is good? The idea is to mask the lower half of the kitchen so that the internal organs will not be seen from the main entrance door:- Can also be fully covered.
