   Dear Michelle, Sorry, can you clarify how you derive " Water & earth in my living room " is it because one part of your living room has the Water (North) and I assume North East is the (Earth)? Usually when we apply the 5 elements concept we do not have a `pairing' like what you suggested e.g. earth or water, metal and fire. But rather, a more accurate way is check a person's main element and strength. For example if the person's main element is Strong Fire and his bedroom is located at the North. We can introduce the colour blue in his bedroom to cool down his strong fire. This is based on the Principle of equilbrium i.e. a person's element should not be either Stron…

   Dear Anon, It would be preferred or advisable to use the Chinese `i-ching coins' with square holes. This is in my opinion the preferred choice. Nowadays, there are lots of `imitation' or lots of such newly minted coins and are not that costly. The rationale why the i-ching coins are preferred is because it has a square hole at the centre. Under the Five elements concept: Earth produces metal and thus `make it stronger'. And this type of coins are proven. The rationale why the Singapore $1 coin was used as a "poorer" alternative is that it has the Ba Gua or eight sides and thus was used. Therefore, the silver coins you mentioned has so far not been proven: I am afraid,…

   Dear Nansi, Apologise for the late reply, was browsing through the message and found this still unanswered. Please read below:- Try to divide your Eight House using the pie lines and make sure you do not stay directly in the death line. Rather then the 9 square format. It is a little more accurate with the pie line division. Just avoid staying directly under the disaster line. Another suggestion is to strengthen yourself with your favourable elements, this will also help to counteract or reduce the influence. You see, even if you are a strong Earth, but without fire, you do not have a mother or a resource these are what essentially created you. So you still need …

   Dear Michelle, As a novice, you can feel your way around by doing what you have done... to do check the degree of suitability of your home with your personal `kua' using the Eight House Theory. I am not sure if you have read this url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm as it provides a step-by-step guide as how you can `quickly' do a Eight House Audit of your home. In this step-by-step guide the following are what you can do:- 1. Firstly, find the centre of the house. 2. Mark it down on a copy of your house layout plan. 3. Stand in the centre of the house and from this position, use an ordinary compass and find out the direction of the main entrance door. If your door …

   Dear Carrie, Sorry for the delay in reply. The key to the Five Elements is about `balance' in one's element: 1. If one is weak wood, the most effective enhancement is water. Where water supports wood. Think of it as water making plants grow. Using wood to enhance wood is less effective method. 2. One should also take note under one's pillars of destiny season we are in. Under the Pillars of Destiny - Luck Pillars report, one can check the period (10 year period) one is in and from there check to see what is the prevailing season of influence. For example, if one is a weak water person and the season of influence is fire element, as fire destroys water, it will be an inaus…

   Dear Anom, 1. For a novice, this may be big worry or concern. As most of us will quite rightly worry about pots or planters with soil. 2. However, if we properly consider the Five Elements concept - Destructive cycle:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm 2.1 One will notice that in the destructive cycle, plants/trees (wood element) destroys or crushes earth element. 2.2 Here, we can imagine, the roots of the plants penetrating the soil. Thus this two auspicious cycle of wood -> destroying earth is good. 2.3 Many Feng Shui practitioners will also tell you that even artificial plants are acceptable used. This is OK. 2.4 In Flying Star Feng Shui, b…

   Dear Carrie, You can get a free reading of the birth element (eg. water, wood person) from the Daily forecast chart located at http://www.geomancy.net. This report is absolutely free. There is also a free pillars and five element at the http://geomancy-online.com. If you want more details or find out if the elements are weak or strong, then there is either a full Pillars of Destin Standard or Premium report or a simple "What's your personal Feng Shui element?" report. Hope that helps.

    Dear Carrie, In my opinion, I feel that it is highly unprofessional to let so many people look at a person's chart. It is only right that you clarify with your "other source" to clear your doubts. Warmest Regards, Cecil
