Also, I know that a toilet directly facingthe main door is bad. Is there any cure on this? Thanks. 1. Please see the attach layout for the centerpoint. 2. It is not really auspicious, but at least the you cannot see the toilet bowl when the toilet door is left open. So not as bad. Anyway, due to the narrow corridor, not likely much that you can do except to keep the toilet door close when not using it. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Dear Robert Lee, This week my department has shifted to a new floor of the building. However now my cubicle is located at the NE corner which is the Irritation corner according to my birth info. I tried looking for another area but every other cubicle is occupied. What should I do? I really need your help! Hopeful, Frankly, when you are working for a company and do not hold key positions in the company. It will be hard for you to apply feng shui or pick the best placement for you. In this case, for eight house irritation direction. Not much you can do unless you can choose another available working position or unless another office table is free. So what I can advise you is to try to at least wear more favourable colour clothings to boost your ba zi luck. This will help to offset facing a less suitable direction. The rest is to ensure that other areas that you can control. Such as if you drive, ensure your car colour is favourable to you. And improve your own home's luck, which will help you in your career as well. Beyond that, not much else you can do as you are not likely to be able to paint the walls in the room to suit you etc. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: What if the main door is not located either North or NorthEast, but exactly North by Northeast, right down the middle of the two directions? Frankly, such a house that falls in the exact degree between two directions are often not auspicious because, it is like neither here or neither there.

I mean where you divide the room. Often there will be one sector that covers more of the important features in the room. Say the bedroom. If when you divide the room, the bed falls in the sector or is covered more by one sector, that will be the sector that we consider having the more influence over. The sector covering say the toilet or the wardrobe will not be the sector that will hold most influence in the room. Anonymous wrote: If a sector is split by such a wall, does one consider the wall as the dividing line of the sectors -- instead of using the actual compass direction? When we divide the layout for assessment. We try to find the sector that covers most part of that room. Then apply the solutions or cures accordingly. It is not necessary that the dividing sector will fall exactly on the wall. So some part of that room may contain other influence. For example if the room falls under North-East/East. If a greater part of the room falls under North-East, we focus on the North-East as the major influence in that sector. Only when you try to activate the sector's moutain or water star, then you try to position the cures/solution as close to that direction such as if the water star is North sector. Then the water feature is best located close to where True North (0 degree sector). Otherwise, for room colours, you choose the sector that is covers most part of the room. Hope that helps.

Frankly, it is better you seek professional consultation services as there are so many factors to consider.

Anonymous wrote: I'm trying to find the answer for these key issues: 1. What is the best Facing orientation/direction of the house (I'm the breadwinner of the house)? Why is it the best direction? 1) The best facing should be one that:- 1a)will enjoy the right choice of open space for your frontage and the best moutain support for your home. 1b) it should also be positioned such that you get the auspicious flying star facing. Such as Westgroup person may consider North-East/South-West facing for period 8, while East house group may consider South/East facing for period 8. 1c) In addition, to the best direction for the flying star, you also have to consider that the facing direction does not fall under the Death or Disaster sector for the breadwinner. This has to be considered together with point 2, orsome form of compromise is needed to get the optimium direction. 1d) Where possible, the best direction is one that fits both your eight house and ba zi element. Or where it is not possible, then at least avoid Death/Disaster sector. 1e) The breadwinner will need to have the house most suitable to him. While the rest of the family member, should have the a room suitable to them. It may not be possible to get a house direction that can fit all family members. So priority for house facing should first go to breadwinner of the house. Anonymous wrote: 2.

So that other good sectors can be available for living room/dinning room/master bedroom/office/bedrooms. Anonymous wrote: 3.

I mean, both South and South-east are auspicious direction for me but an 8 Period house facing South-east is "Good for Health Good for Wealth" and a house facing South is "Double Facing" or "Double sitting" only? I believe I have given you a guide in my point 1. A good house if it does not suit you will not bring you the best amount of luck. So sometimes you need to compromise to get a fairly good direction and also a suitable direction, and that the plot of land allows that kind of layout.

Dear Kat Kanz, kat kanz wrote: IfI live in the south hemisphere( Peru- South America) and I`m using a compass to apply the 9 Stars Method, Polar Star, etc then how it will affect Feng Shui since we have opposite weather, time, location, etc. All my books come from Europe and Usa, so I`m not sure if the information is valid in Lima-Peru. A few traditional Feng Shui Masters have stated their views that there should not be any changes with respect to people living in the South Hemisphere. We also believe there is really no need to make any special alternation to the feng shui analysis. Actually, the seasons in the South is still the same as in the North. Only difference it that it is more like it is there is a time lag of6 months apart. For example, in the Northern hemisphere, the Winter is in Dec. But in the South the winter comes only in Jun. So the fundamental of the five element principle remains the same because it is not like the seasons are reversed or anything. It is stillSping - So the fundamentals in the five element and seasons will still remain the same. Furthermore, the purpose of like the ba zi to determine the luck of a person, is actually more to determine the balance of the person (how weak or strong he/she is ie weak water, neutral water or strong water). Ultimately, the analysis is will balance itself of because of the way the five element and yin and yang concept was formed. So really, any feng shui analysis is simply to make sense and attempt to relate all the information together.

Hope to hear from you soon, thanks. You cannot correct a suitablity problem. A suitability sector is for you to assess whether it is good for a person to make use of that room or not. So you can only opt to use or not to use it if it is really bad. Spook and Irritation are not as bad as death or disaster sector. So they are still rooms that you can use. Just make sure that, when you find the rooms for the rest of your family members, you locate the one which is most suitable or at least not the two worst direction death/disaster sector. The two things you can do improve the luck are:- 1. If it is possible try to locate the sleeping position / study positon. For sleep position, the head points to the good sector. ie if North is favourable, then head should point North, while feet should point South. For study position, you should sit facing the good direction. ie if North, then you sit facing North. 2. The next thing is do is choose the most favourable colour that suits the ba zi element. For example,a weak wood person, favours water (blue/black/gray) or wood (green/brown). Remember to try to choose light pastel colours (off-white) andmust be extra careful when choosing brightred/bright yellow.This is because if you do not consider the flying star, these colours can activate the Illness/Misfortune star 2/5 (Earth element) in the sector.

Simply because so many factors are not know, ie the parent's date and time ofbirth (to check whether the baby element can also bring luck to parents) and how suitable the baby will be to the parents etc. Without allfactors being considered, any advice given may not be correctly given. And could result giving you the wrong advice and instead of helping any result in more harm or problems. I advice on the general ba zi analysis (not considering any other factors) for the day16 Feb 2007 on a boy. The day seems generally auspicious luck for baby boy. But need to be careful of unbalanced five element charts for certain hours which may mean potentially higher health problems. Which is the better hour, that one you will need to assess in detail, and also need to consider what types of characteristics the parents hold more important for the baby to have.

We too felt that things are not going so smooth after purchasing the house even we have not moved in. As long as you are not staying in the house as of yet, it should have less influence on your family luck. The bulk of luck will still come from your existing house luck. It will be worst if you actually move into your new home. But since you haven't,it is probably the wiserto sell it off as soon as possible.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi, my living hall is located at 8-1-8 sector of the flying star (west). There is a hugh lake facing the living hall about 50 ft away. This, I believe will provide the chi / activate the water star 8. However, I am also concern about the mountain star 8 falling into water. Should I activate it and how? There is a garden between my living hall and the lake. Thanks a lot Since this sector falls in your living room, then you only need to activate the water star. If it falls in your bedroom, then you activate the mountain star. Please note that water star can only be activated in clear space. And Mountain star can only be activated where there is a mountain or a room.Often, you can only activate one as the requirement for activation does not allow activating both. So in this case, you activate the one that is appropriate which is the water star. You do not activate the mountain star here as it cannot be activated. You can however, activate your future mountain star 9if it is in the appropriate bedroom or moutain area. This will replace the need to activate the star 8 which you can't since a water star is being activated. Hope that helps.

Dear Soon Kok, goh soon kok wrote: 1) My last job is IT related, should i change the nature of my job? As a Strong Earth, this normally means that Metal,Wood and Water (your wealth) are generally your favourable elements. I am not sure what is the exact percentage of the elements based on your ba zi. But the best element you should go for is based on which of the 3 elements (Metal/Water/Wood), you have least percentage. That will mean that that element is the most useful element for you. For example, Metal 30%, Water 10%, Wood 15%. If this is your percentage, then Water element is most favourable for you, followed by Wood, then Metal element. Then even though Metal element is one of your favourable element, you benefit more from Water element rather than Metal element. However, where you are not aware of your ba zi element percentage, then I would have to say that Metal or Wood and Water elements are generally your favourable element. As a Strong Earth, Metal helps to keep exhaust the excess Earth, while Wood destroy Earth. Water will help to control your Fire that produces Earth. So based on the above, you can choose to go into Metal/Wood/Water element careers. You can refer to this link for more information about five element and career:- URL: http://talk.geomancy.net IT related falls generally Metal/Water element. But also depends on what you do exactly. For example, if you are dealing more in programming than it is more Water. If you deal in hardware it could be metal. If you deal in marketing IT service, it can be more fire element. So what you do at the IT is important to assess what is the exact element to classify your IT related career. goh soon kok wrote: 2) I have read your forecast for 2007, next year strong earth has to be careful of wealth or health? Pls advise. 2007 is Fire year influence. So as a Strong Earth, it makes you too strong. But at least Ram and Pig tends to have some good relationship so it won't be too bad. However, as the fire element makes you strong. That is where you may not benefit as much as weak Ram. The problems that may arise could be loss of wealth and quarrels/conficts with family/friends. So there two areas you need to be extra careful. You will need even more Metal/Wood/Water elements influence in 2007. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Period 8 : Vomiting. Is it possible to prevent from flying to period 8? Please advise. Thanks. Regards. Usually, once you have any major renovation, it will usually automatically fly over to the new luck period. So, in your case, it may be difficult to retain the existing period. In fact, in such cases where you plan to have major renovations, you should be looking for a house that has good period 8 house luck rather than a house that has good period 7 house luck. Furthermore, once a house is old, there will definately be future repair work which needs to be done. Which makes it even harder to retain the existing luck. So it is better to look for a period 8 house, if you plan to have major renovation. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Blue, blue mistz wrote: What is signified by a clash? Quarrels? Difficulties? There are 4 different levels of conflict and ranked in different level lf severity:- 1) Clash being the worst tends to be a conflict/quarrels between two. Just like say water and fire cannot co-exist. 2) Harm is next where there is some minor quarrels or issues that both may not see eye to eye or some obstacles that will get in the way. 3) Punishment is where there is things just won't go smoothly. 4) Self-punishment is like things very minor hiccups that will occur such that you cannot get a perfect result no matter how hard you try. So clash betwen the day pillar means your elements are in conflict. Just like when fire meets water, fire is exhausted by water. But this clash even though not good, can still harmonised by having element that smoothen the relationship. For example having wood can help act as a bridge. Resulting in less friction. You have to weight every aspect to determine how compatible a couple is. It does not mean that just because there is a clash both couples will confirm quarrels. How bad or whether there other other many minor clashes can further determine can make this clash better or worst off. So normally, you have look at it from all aspect. blue mistz wrote: Can two people with not so compatible chart get along? I am dog, while he is goat. Is there still ways to improve the harmony?

Would they affect my house feng shui? Thank you. If you like it, there is no harm keeping fishes as pets. The only issue, is that such water feature especially large aquarium should not be keep in the bedroom. The reason is rather logical also, you see water in the fish tank tends to give off certain fishy/chlorine smell which may affect the quality of the air in the bedroom. Just like if you put plants in the bedroom, it also fights for oxygen at night. That is why big fish tank/water feature should not be placed in the bedroom. Onesmall bowl type fish bowl type, should not be a major issue as it is unlikely to affect thewhole room. But too many will not be a good idea best tobe placedin other areasthat is notused as bedroom. Generally, small indivial bowls of water typeprobably not big enoughto be considered amajor water feature.

Personally, for megiven that all the feng shui concepts such as ba zi/eight house is to chart like your luck and suitability. The information is based assessed based on the gender, date and time of birth from when you are born. So I would have to say that it should be the original gender that a person is born with. But on the other hand, after a gender change, you will also be able to experience something that your previous gender is not able to experience. So that will have some impact on your overall luck. However, from feng shui assessment, since concept like ba zi is all about the heavenly given luck. So it is about the luck that is given to you when you are born. So I have to say thatshould such situation arise, it is still best to take thegender you are born with as you primary luck but with the open mind that your luck may still be different in some ways.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi, I did the pillars comparisons report for my boyfriend and I. I do not really understand what it means. What does it mean by : 'Heaven Stem Clash between day pillar (xin) & day pillar (yi).' I am a strong metal and he is a weak wood. Your insights are greatly appreciated. It simply means that the two ba zi chart's pillar clashes. In this case, the two heavenly stem of the day clashes with each other. Under the comparison rule, day to day or year to year clash often signify more a more major form of clash. At least when you compare that to say a hour to year or month to month clash. You see the day pillar influence the element of the day. While the year pillar influence your horoscope sign. So often when the day pillar clash, it means that the two elements are likely to conflict with each other such as water and fire elements.Horoscope signs can also clash with each other such as the Snake and Pig. In your case, metal destroy wood. So the element conflict with each other. Furthermore, you are a Strong Metal amd he is a weak wood. So the clash is even more obvious as you make him even weaker. If at least you are a weak Metal, and he is a Strong Wood, the clash is actually not as bad because the weak Metal helps to keep the strong wood in check. So based on this factor, it shows a not so compatible chart. However, as long as the horoscope signs do not clash as well, then there are still ways to improve the harmony. Such as having more Water element as a common binding element to improve the harmony between the two. As water will exhaust the excess metal and make weak wood stronger. Hope that helps.
