Dear Master Cecil, thank you for your quick reply. 1.I startedpraticing Fengshui in January 2010, After unfortunate things were happening in my life, and I setup my apt using 7th period setup. I`m doing a little better now, but I have doubts whether I using the right period or not to improve life. 2. I`m not really sure if any renovation was made made after 2004. What I`m corcerned is whether moving intomy apt in 2007 makes it change from previous 7th period to the actual 8th period, since I set up the flying stars accordingly to 7th period configuration instead of 8th period if it were the case. 3. What I mean by having awful 3 years after I moved in the apt and before practicing fenshui, is having lost mydad in 2007 and my mom in 2009, getting sick by back splitted disks by the end of 2009, and having continuos money set backs. My regards. Luis..............
