Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: May I know if the Bazi concept can be applied to a company? I mean can we tabulate the company's own Bazi chart based on its incorporation date? If yes, how should we treat its gender? Not likely. This is because ba zi is supposed to chart a person's given luck at the time of birth. However, a company's luck is influenced more on the business model and economics of demand and supply. So the ba zi chart which is supposed to predict the type of luck given is not likely to be suitable to be applied to business. In fact, feng shui has only a small overall role in overall business.And most of the time is the EarthLuckfactor. Such as the location of theshop / office, or the layout of the shop / office. The rest of the success depends on the business itself. So I would have to say thatusing the ba zito calculateacompany's luck is not likely to work. Hope that helps.

Dear Yvvone, exora yvonne wrote: Dear Master Lee, I have searched throughout the internet and so far only this forum is reliable, thus I would like to express my gratitude for initiating this forum.. I am very keen in getting a tattoo on the lower back and not bigger than our palm size, the design is based on the "karma" word, but i am not sure whether it'll be in chinese or sanskrit. My friend told me that tattoos will change a person's luck, so I am concerned and unsure if it will be a good idea to get one for myself. I'm born in 1985 and a female. I would appreciate it if an expert could clear my doubts and I am open for suggestions and comments. Thank you very, very much Yours truly, Yvonne Frankly, tattoos have always been assocated with negative or bad stuff (such as gangs etc). Of course, recently tattoo have been more of an art.However,the negative aspects often seems more apparent thanpositive aspects. When we talk about feng shui, we often want to have positive or good luck on your side. So it would of course seems like it would not be a wise thing to have. Even when it comes to a person's facial features, there is an art of face reading/palmistry etc which determines a person luck. So I would have to say that if there are changes to your body, it is more likely to affect your overall luck in some way. As mentioned, since tattoo has negative aspects, so it is more likely that it will bring about adverse impact from my opinion.

Dear Anon, Anon wrote: I was planning on getting a small dragon around my left wrist, around 1' in width. Is this good feng shui, bad, or neither? And is there a particular position (if possible) the dragon should be in order for it to be good feng shui? I mean so far tatoo has always been associated with bad things. So really, even though there isn't anything about feng shui and tattoo. It would seem more like it a tattoo will more likely bring about bad influence rather than good influence. So not likely to see what good luck it will bring. Anon wrote: And is there a particular position (if possible) the dragon should be in order for it to be good feng shui? Frankly, under feng shui, the dragon is considered one of the fierce creatures available. So normally, it is unwise to keep or have pictures/figurines of dragons. Especially, if they are very fierce looking type.Usually, most pictures or representations of dragons are used to ward off any sha qi if any. Even in the past, theChinese Emperor is the only person allowed to wear clothings with dragon pattern. Showing how Dragon is usually represents a person with lots of power and authority. Now a days, dragon figurings are readily available due to art work or even when it comes to the year of the dragon. So really, not a that of a big issue but still need to be care about those fierce looking ones. From Feng Shui point of view,a dragon is very strong or very yang related. So unless a person ba zi is strong enough to handle dragon,may not be wise to have it. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Paula Ribeiro, paula ribeiro wrote: With so many companies going through mergers and layoffs, what are some feng shui tips that we can use to protect us in keeping our jobs and stability within the company? Sorry, but I do not believe feng shui can be of much help here simply because of the mechanics of how mergers works. I mean the people that get laid off from mergers, tends to be the company that is being bought over. Especially if you are on the company that is being bought over, the chances of being able to retain your position is less unless you possess very important skills or possess an indisposable asset to the company buying you. Feng Shui can only do so much as to bring as much luck to business. The rest of the success depends a lot on the business model. If the business model is flawed or doomed to failure, no amount of feng shui can revive it. So that is why you there are nothing about feng shui about merger and layoffs. Instead, relying on continously upgrading yourself will make you more valuable to your company or allow you greater flexibility to find better prospect job. On a personal level, feng shui of your own home and boosting up luck on your ba zi, can make sure your overall luck is good. Once luck around you is good, then things are not likely to go bad so easily. Or at least you will be able to focus your time and effort in finding good prospects for yourself. Hope that helps.

Dear Chris, Chris Lee wrote: As the owners are going through a divorce which is considered 'bad luck', I was wondering whether I should go ahead with the purchase. Usually, if you are planning to buy a house owned by an existing owner, the reason why they are selling can already give an indication of how good the house feng shui is. If the owner is upgrading, of course it means that the house feng shui is likely to be good, else if they selling because of problems then not likely to have good feng shui qi. The above tells me that the house have quarrel stars. So does not sound that auspicious even if the house may be suitable to you. So if you ask me I wouldnot recommend it. Probably better to find other better units. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

It is really hard to fix it except to minise the use of the room if possible. Here are some of the other areas you should look at to attempt to compensate the luck from other factors:- 1) If possible locate the bed facing a direction that is favourable for your sleeping position. So even if the room is not so suitable, at least you benefit from the better sleeping position. 2) If the room is located where the direction is favourable to your ba zi. Or, if at least the house is suitable to the breadwinner, thenwill already minmise the effect of the unsuitable room. 3) Check your ba zi element and determine which colours will benefit both of you. Then try to have the room in that colours to boost your luck from your ba zi. This will also help to offset the unsuitable bedroom. Just take note of using colours such as Bright Yellow/Bright Red if you are not aware of the flying star sector in the room. 4) Fix up other correctable leaks in the home (if any that you are able to correct) to further offset or improve the luck. Where you cannot correct one problem, then you need to see if you can gain luck from other areas. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

What is the process to do our own cleansing to remove bad energy / history on the items to prevent harm in the case that we receiving the items as a gift and we not sure about the background? Thanks a lot. True Traditional Feng Shui is nothing but understanding your own heaven luck, earth luck and human luck. a) Heaven Luck iswhat kind of luck you are born with andhow you canrelate yourself to your environment. (ie whether your luck is good or bad, whatcolours/career/directionbest fits you). b)Earth Luck is your home and surrounding environment.Your home especially has the greatest influence to your overall luck.So finding a house that is suitable orhave the best feng shui Qiis important. c) Human Luck is your relationship and hardwork.The relationship you have with people can influence your career (ie good relationship withyour boss can ensure smooth career). Your own hard work is also important. There is really nothing more than ensuring youpicked the righthouse direction thathas good Qi, suitable to you, favourable colours, best placement of furnitureetc. At most finding the right position to have water featurein your landscaping to trap and activate wealth. Otherwise, there is no need for any of the so call feng shui items that are being sold by some sellers. Most of these items do not not really have any mircle powers. They are more decorative items that appears or have symbolic meaning that is being promoted as it can really enhance feng shui. But in reality, it does not. All these items do help is make you feel better which helps you only in your human luck. ie making you feel good that the item can bring you luck. So properfeng shui does not rely on items being sold or promoted. As such, sites that sell or promote these items usually are not really promoting feng shui. They are just selling the items to make profit as they often buy the items very low cost from China, and put a price tag such as $888. Such items will only benefit the seller and not the buyer.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: first of all excuse me for my english. I'd like to ask a question, what is the most important, the gua element (gua 2 = earth for me) or the ba zi element ( weak fire). I like very much earth colors, my bedroom is painted yellow, do I weaken my ba zi element ? The Gua is based on your YEAR of birth only. While Ba Zi is calculated against the date and time of birth. Therefore, the element that you should be taking yourself as should be your ba zi element. Therefore, you are a weak fire person. A weak fire, person generally lacks either wood or fire. While Water or Earth tends to weaken your fire.Metal is your wealth but as a weak fire you are not strong enough to benefit it. So you willnot be your favourable elementsunless you have more wood/fire to strengthen your weak fire. This is the general favourable/unfavourable based on the fact that youare a weak fire. However, a weak fire can be due to having lack more wood or fire. (for example, if a person has 20% Wood, 5% Fire, so this tells me that this person lacks more fire than wood). Alternatively, if you have too much water (50%), this may also be a cause that makes you too weak. So often you need to know the percentage breakdown of your five element to be able to determine what elements you need more or less. Sometimes, you may be a weak fire, but if Earth is lacking in your chart, you may benefit from having some Earth when you have sufficient of wood/fire. This is what we often call the balance of the five element and how you can fine-tune the chart to your advantage. This portion is available for the paid ba zi users to fine-tune. But where the balance of the five element percentage is not known, then you based on the basics of the five element. Weak Fire = generally needs more wood/fire. While Earth/Metal/Water should not have too much. It does not mean you should not have it at all, just that you need to make sure you do not have too much. Remember, the key is balance. The ideal is to have exactly 20% of each five element to attain perfect harmony. The only additional point I want to add is that Earth (Yellow) is often a tacky colour to have in the house. Especially so for Bright Yellow/Bright Red. This is because most of the flying star illness/misfortune stars are often prone to activation if the room is painted in these colours. So you need to be extra careful. If these colours are to be choosen, make sure it is the light off-white colour (ie light cream/light pink if any). If you know the room sector has star 2/5 then avoid these colours to be safe. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I am born in Western calendar 6/23/1982 on a free report it shows my element as Fire on others it shows that my element is Water for all 1982. Can someone explain? 1982 is a Water dog year. So if you take the year of birth as a basic element you are born in a water element year. However, in ba zi, we take the day of birth as your true element of the day. Meaning to say that you are born in the Fire day in a Water year. This is because even in the year, there can be a water/wood/fire/earth/metal element person. So that day element represents the most accurate form of the element of birth. So you are essentially a Strong yin Fire born in the Water dog year. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Will my luck be baddue to me spending the majority of my time at my brother's place, as compared to if I stay majority of thetime at my new place? Feng Shui cannot be operated by remote control. This means that the house or place you stay is where your luck will come from. Since you spend most of your time at your brother's place, that house's luck will have most impact on you. Since you stay in your new house only during the weekends, it is not considered more a temporary location just like if you check into a hotel. Only when you stay in the new house most of your time after you move it, then your luck will come from your new home.

Will my luck be baddue to me spending the majority of my time at my brother's place, as compared to if I stay majority of thetime at my new place? As for whether your brother's house will affect you, depends on whether the room you stay in currently, is it favourable for you or not. As you are not the breadwinner of your brother's house, you are considered only an occupant or part of the family member that stays in the house. So the room that you stay in is what will affect whether it is good or bad for you. So if you stay in room falling under your prosperity sector of the house, then it is favourable for you. The flying star which affects all occupants of the house. As long as any bad sector is corrected, then you will not be too adversely impacted by it. If not even if the room is suitable for you, but if the Qi of the house is bad, then you will of course be influenced by it. Hope that helps.

Yes, where the road is blocked and not passable to the other housing road, it is considered a dead end. However, it should not be a major problem because your house is not located at the end of the dead end road. If your house is located at the end of the dead end, you will have the road as a sha qi into the house. So that will then be inauspicious. However., your house is considered located at the side of the road. So there is no sha qi from the road into the house.

If so is there a cure I can use to put in both of the rooms. Firstly, I just need confirm, when you say the bagua wealth area you are referring to the flying star concept read from the bagua, right? Not the eight aspiration (static bagua) as in this link:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/perlist-eight-aspiration.htm The reason I want to clarify is that there is a difference. Flying Star assess the wealth luck which is different from time to time and from house to house. Whereas the eight aspiration is a static concept. If the wealth sector is based on the eight aspiration, then you don't have to worry. If it is your flying star, then you may not benenfit from the wealth luck. What we call miss opportunities. Where your wealth area falls in areas of the room where it is the toilet area, usually this means that wealth luck will go down the drain. So you can't benefit from it.You can only try to activate other auspicious sector that falls in the useful areas of the house. The wealth stars for flying stars are like say if your house is period 8, then stars 8/9 in water star is your main current wealth/future wealthor 8/9 in your mountain star is your unexpected wealth/future unexpected wealth. So it is sectors containing these stars that will be considered auspicious or wealth area.This also can be determined by a practitioner if he knows how to use the bagua. Which is why I asked if which you are referring to. Anonymous wrote: And also according to the 8 Mansion this also happens to be the location of the Wu Gui. Please Help!!

The mathematical way to calculate the lunar age is no different from the western method. Only in some exceptions where used in burial or some chinese formula, sometimes we need to add or substract a year. However, you need to have a lunar calendar to know what is the lunar equavilent date on a particular date you wish to check against. Western Birthdate: 15 May 1974 Lunar Birthdate:24 day 4 month 1974 year As long as you pass the lunar 24 day 4 month of the current year, you are 1 year older. So your lunar birth day for 2006 will be on 21 May 2006making you 32. Thenthe rest iscounted byhow many months and day from the other day. This is the mathematical way. 17 Dec 2006 = 27 day 10 month 2006 (Age 32,6 months about 3 days) 10 Feb 2007 = 23 day 12 month 2006 (Age 32,8 months about 29 days) Typically, if you do not have the chinese calendar, 1 month is about 30 days except for a few months which is 29. So you can roughly estimate as what I did for the aproximate day. The 8 month includes thelunar month (which I consider as also 1 month or 30 days). As for the age when used certain special situation to add or minus a few years. That depends on that the special requirements for that those concept.

This is because this equally divides the sector into the 8 sectors allowing one to be able to better determine which sector falls under what sector of influence. Also, for any odd shaped/narrow houses, it is best to use the eight pie method. The 9 grid is just another way of applying the analysis. Usually, better for a square shaped layout.

Our stand is also the same which is to keep the theory unchanged. Here is a link with some information on this:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-addsites.htm Hope that helps.
