Dear Kumar, kumar g wrote: mywife was born on 9 july 1985 . so what will be her age according to chinese calenderas on 10 october 2005 . is it 20 years 3 months or 21 years . Just count her age from the lunar birth date 22 day 5th month 1985 year. The age as on lunar date 10 day 10month 2005 year would be 20 years 3 months. This is usually the best way to count your date based on whether it pass your next lunar birth date. This is the best way to count just like your western birthdate. The reason why there is some who will consider it 21 years, is because they only count by the year. Meaning that though you are born on 22 day 5th month 1985, they will consider that age 1 already. Then by 2005 it will be considered age 21. This is not wrong also, just that it don't count by the exact next birth date. That is why it is always said that the chinese age is often considered 1 year ahead. However, to avoid confusion, it is best you calculate by the next birthday which is more accurate.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Could you please advice that having three ducks is good or bad. i bought a set of ducks and it had three white ducks in it. I have placed them at the front door. I thought that having a pair is good. Could you suggest that should I throw the third one and what could be the best place to place the ducks. In general, for any animal it is best to have them a pair. It is not auspicious to have 3 as it would be like there is a 3rd odd one out. If you relate it to a relationship, it is like having a 3rd party. So not not really advisable. It is best you either keep the 3rd duck and only display the 2. As to whether to display, this is really up to you. If you have some display cabinet then place them there. Ultimately, such items are more decorative items rather than having any special feng shui meaning. So you should use it more as a decorative item. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I am a person of weak wood with a lot of fire elements,but no water. As such my wood is considered 'rootless'. Read in a book that some people have a 'follow the leader' configuration in their bazi whereby the self element (day master) surrenders to the strongest element in their bazi as it has no chance of survival. As such elements which favour their very weak self element are actually detrimental to them. How does one know if his/her day element is of this special configuration or merely weak? Actually, there is really nothing significantly different from the 'follow the leader' type of chart if you really know how to properly determine the weak/strong and apply the five element of balance properly. At least, you need not have to worry about it, if you are applying cures or solutions from our website's ba zi chart. Why? Simply because if you properly define a person's weak/strong and then apply the balance of the elements concept to prioritise the favourable/unfavourable elements. You will find that it is will take care of most of the worries about the so call 'follow the leader' characteristics. Take your chart for example, which I extracted from our your profile and using a portion of our paid ba zi report:- Element Strength Percentage 0 Water Weakest 0 % 0 Wood Weak 0 % 8 Fire Strongest 90 % 0 Earth Strong 0 % 4 Metal Extremely Weak 9 % You will still be considered weak wood simply because your favourable elements (water 0% + wood 0% = 0%) is still less than your unfavourable elements (metal 9% +earth 0% = 9%). Fire element will exhaust Wood but at the same time strengthen Earth. So it should never be considered in the initial equations as it willcancel out the any good or bad effects. Therefore, without any doubt,you are a weak wood. Where water and wood elements are generally your favourable elements, and fire and metal are generally unfavourable for you. Earth is your wealth which is also generally considered unfavourable due to your self element considered weak wood. So the above will generally define your favourable and unfavourable based on whether you are weak or strong. In any case, this rules is still the fundamental and should not be ignored. The difference or the fine tuning comes in the balance of the five element, where you should aim to get 20% of each element to achieve perfect harmony. 1.Water and Wood are both 0% which is way below the optimium 20%, so both are needed to gain harmony. Since both percentage are also equal, it means both elements equally required to make your weak wood stronger. However, even under this special situation, you will find that Water will be most beneficial for you. This is because water will help to destroy Fire. It also helps to exhaust the Metal. So this means Water is most favourable followed by Wood element. 2. Fire 90%, Metal 9% & Earth 0% are your unfavourable element. Where Fire element you already have 90% which is too much. So this becomes the element you need to avoid. While Earth you have 0% so this element though your unfavourable element is what you want to have more of. Followed by Metal. So when you put it together, as a weak wood:- 1. Water element is your most favourable element. This you need to have most of. 2. Wood element is needed but much lesser than Water and to control the Earth element that you will be adding. 3. Earth element is needed after you have sufficient Water and/or Wood element. 4. Fire element is not needed and should be avoided due to having too much already. 5. Metal element isn't needed as when you have Earth, it will automatically produce Metal to balance up the chart. So this means that you most Water, some Wood and Earth elements. While you should avoid Fire and Metal. Thus, you see if there isn't really anything special about the 'follow the leader' type of chart if you really know how to apply the weak/strong characteristics together with the balance of the five element.At least not really a big issue if you are using our website's ba zi analysis. In any case, your chart is still weak, so you need to still increase your weak elements and elements you lack to attain the perfect balance. Hope that helps.

Dear Poh Yen Ong, Poh Yen Ong wrote: If my partner and I belong to different categories, does it mean we are not compatible? Poh Yen Ong wrote: E.g I am a "west" person and my partner is "east". How true is it for chinese zodiac compatibility? No, the different eight house type of person does not mean that the two person are incompatible. It just means that each person has a different direction or facig that brings him or her luck. Poh Yen Ong wrote: Is there anyway to counter it? Usually, when the facing direction is different, the only issue will be it will be harder to find a house that fit both person. However, this can easily be resolved by applying the give and take concept. ie when you are looking for a home for example, the breadwinner will have to be given the best facing direction, while the spouse will get a better bedroom to compensate. To really assess incompatibility, we need to check the copatibility of the horoscope signs (ie tiger vs monkey may not be that compatible pair). One will also need to check the ba zi element compatibility. As well as analysing two ba zi chart to see if there are any clashes/harm. These three different checks will give a better assessment on the compatibility between the two person. Hope that helps.

Dear Sherry, Sherry Shao-To wrote: Is it okay to put a clock in the middle of the backwall of my store facing out of my front door? It's also above my restroom and storage room doors. Thank you, Usually, the reason behind the inauspicious meaning of the clock is that. Clock in chinese is pronounced as 'Zhong'. The act of giving a clock is called song-zhong, which also sounds similiar to another phrase representing sending off the dead. That is why clock has this kind of meaning. So ideally it is also inauspicious, where there is a clock that faces your home from across your home, or where you see it when you enter into your home. Clock that is placed just above a corridor walk way or above a door are also not ideal, as if the clock isn't hung securely, then there is a possibility of it dropping and hitting someone. The best place to place is on the side of the wall where it faces another wall and not a window or above door/corridor entrance. If based on the information provided so far, it may not be the most ideal if your clock faces the front door, and if it is hung just above the entrance tothe restroom/storage room door.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I purchased two BaGua mirrors, one convex and one concave. I was going to hang them together in my house on my wall but now I read they are to be hung outside. Which one is better tohang and where does it go? If I hang it inside can it be facing out a window or does it need to actually be outside? Can I hang them both together outside or only one at a time? Can I hang it on a railing if there is no space to be hung over the outside door? I am trying to improve positive energy in and around my house. To be frank, you should not be putting up bagua unnecessarily. The different types of bagua has different meaning and purpose:- A convex bagua (ie the one which looks like a fisheye), is meant to deflect external sha qi or poison arrow. Also such bagua is effect to place outside the house rather than inside the house. A concave bagua, is meant more to trap/suck wealth, usually placed for example at a missing corner in attempt to retain wealth. A flat bagua, is meant more to scare away evil spirits. So you should only place it for the above reasons and not just placing it for no reasons or purpose. So hang the convex bagua externally where the threat (ie a poison arrow/sharp corner from another building/house) cuts into your home. As for the concave bagua, hang it at the missing corners of your home in attempt to trap and retain wealth for the owner. If you have neither of the problems listed above, then don't hang it at all.

Dear Michelle, Michelle Goh wrote: Wish to ask, from the baizi reading, you can tell about your spouse right? Actually, there is very limited amount of information that you can tell from analysing only one person's ba zi chart. It can only tell us whether in general will your relationship with your child, spouse, parents & grandparents. Will it be generally good or bad. Whether there may be potential conflicts that will arise. To know more, you really need to compare the two ba zi chart together. As depending on the compatibility of the element and horoscope, plus reading the individual's spouse pillar. Only then can more relationship analysis be truly analysed. Michelle Goh wrote: But for me, I am a strong earth person, I read somewhere that Wood represents my spouse and Metal represents my children. I dont have any Wood element in my baizi, but I have low metal element. May I know if there is no wood element, means that I will have no spouse? But why is there Metal element? One really need to analysis your chart in order to comment more. However, in general, each person's chart defines which element as your wealth, your deities differently depending a lot on the element of birth. So relationship between your various pillars will also differ from person to person. So what you read need not necessary be relating to your own chart. It is because each person is different, that is personalisation is a key factor that we always stress. And that is why we do not try to simply advise people on general tips or comments. This is not right and only confuses people. Yes, though general tips and advise is very easy to give, but ultimately will it work for all? Often it does not and in fact it will cause problem if you apply it blindly without considering all the facts. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Leena, Leena Abraham wrote: In our flat (home) we got a fish tank. We kept it left side (middle of theroom)of the sitting cum dining room. Please advise me the best place for a fish tank at home. 1. The best location has to be determined by where your auspicious water star is found for your house facing. Please make use of the free flying star report to generate the flying star for your home. URL: http://login.geomancy.net Once you generated the report, look at your chart. In general, the best locations to place the water position is where the water star is the current or future prosperity number. So for period 7 houses, look for the star 7 (current) or star 8 (future) numbers on the water star sector. While for period8 houses, look for star 8 (current) or star 9 (future) numberson the water star sector. These are the sectorsthat will usually generally benefit from activating water stars. Of course there will be other factors to consider but usually for users wanting to apply feng shui on their own, these are the best locations to consider placing your water feature. 2. Also, you must consider your birth element (especially if you are the breadwinner). Usually, weak fire or strong water will not benefit from having too much water feature. It will overkill you rather than benefit you. So use the free ba zi report (which is also found in our member website) to confirm your element. 3. Only caution I have for you at this point is that never place water feature at the center location of the house. This will cause a major unbalance in house and result in loss of wealth. So far you only mented it was middle of the living/dining room which does not necessary mean it is in the center of the house. So just double check this and avoid it where possible. Hope that helps.

If you do this, you are evaluating the entire block rather than the unit that you are staying in. This is often used if you need to evalute how is the luck for the entire building. However, even in a block there will be some unit which has better luck than another unit. That is why taking the individual home's facing direction will allow you to determin that. Flying Star can be applied to a small area (ie unit in the block), then entire building or block, or even to a plot of land. Thus, the type of facing you use determines this. Aloysius Chia wrote: While some say 10th floor and above should take the facing from the living room/balcony looking outwards. The reason for this is that when you are on a higer floor, it is less likely that other building or surrounding block will block your view. Thus, is deemed to have virtual water (clear space). In our website, we have defined the facing for apartment as follows:- Apartment (2nd - 7th level), you take the main door as your facing direction. Apartment (8th level and up), you take the living room/balcony or where most light enters into your home.

When you further breakdown your individually, you are applying micro level to the analysis. While when you breakdown your home into the direction, you are applying a macro level. The more important is to avoid have renovations done in the living room since this affect the macro level of the NW sector of the entire house. The individual room corner NW is considered minor. Not practical to be applying all these restriction to each room. Otherwise, you will end up with absolutely no freedom to do anything at all. Furthermore, like I mentioned above.

My lucky number is 1, I am an eastern person, and water is my symbol. How can the design be maximized according to these parameters? I would strongly recommend that you seek professional consultation services to help you on this. It is difficult to provide analysis on such queries simply because a lot of factors have to be considered in order to be able tell you what is the best way. I mean for example, you mentioned the front door should face north. But in your eight house (4 good and 4 bad direction) concept for example, there are at least 4 good directions. So is there one that will be a suitable direction that you have your garage and facing be the same direction? Also, since you are building a house from scratch, it means that you also have to consider the best facing that will give you the best flying star house luck. For example, in period 8, houses generally built facing North-East/South-West gives a better Qi and luck for the house. Besides that, one will also have to consider what are the external threats available from other houses that surround your home etc. With so many factors to consider, it is hard to just advise you on what to do as you need to really consider all the different point of views then arrange the home in such a way that you are selecting the option that gives you the most amout of auspicious luck. This is why I mentioned that it is probably better you seek a professional consultation to help you make changes to your architect design so that it will in corporate the right design and layout for best qi.

Dear Suat PG, suat PG wrote: I would like to seek your advice on how to neutralise the poison arrow inmy office. You see, I am sitting directly below a sprinkler on the ceiling. The sprinkler is sharp and pointed. Yes, any pointed arrow is considered a poison arrow. However, in feng shui we also have to consider whether is it a big or small threat. Big threat are usually large like a corner of a wall that cuts into you will create a much more larger posion arrow. So this is considered a small threat by comparison. suat PG wrote: Short of changing the position where I sit, which is not possible, what can I do or use to neutralise this? In your case, you mentioned it is not possible to shift, so I don't really think there will be any thing much you can do. As the way to block poison arrow is to have something to block ie (ie screen/plants etc). Since it is from the ceiling, it is going to be difficult to put anything to block it. If you can you can try to sit in the position that the sprinker cuts only a small portion when you sit and work. If not, then since it is also a small poison arrow and nothing much else you can do, just leave it. Try to focus on correcting other more important areas in feng shui such as your home, the colour your wear. Often the luck of a person is most significantly affected by the house (Earth Luck). So once you get that right, even if there are other smaller threats around, it won't weally affect you as much as the major luck from the house luck for example offset it. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I do not think of myself as a weak person, however, I have learned that I am a weak Fire. What exactly does this mean? Frankly, a weak person does not mean that person is weakling, nor does a strong person mean you are a strong person. It is just one of the two classification for what element you belong to when you relate yourself to the environment. For example, an element like fire can either be a weak fire or a strong fire. That state basically helps to define what kinds of element is good or bad for you. In turn, once you know this proces, you can easily relate the what careers, what colours, what direction, what people will be considered favourable or unfavourable to you. For example, a weak fire means you lack wood and fire elements, so these two elements is considered your favourable elements. When you related to the career, that means wood can mean teaching is favourable, while fire is like sales and marketing. So the weak or strong state, just helps you make sense about what you belong to in the world of the five element. Anonymous wrote: Does it mean that I should avoid certain colors/elements/people or else they will weaken me? For example, should I never wear my unfavorable colors? It seems silly to me. It seems silly to you, because you do not really understand how to use it. Elements that are favourable to you, just means that having more of such elements will benefit you. While, elements not so favourale for you, just means you should have less of it. The ultimate goal is to have 20% of each element. As a completely harmonious person is where you have just the right porportion of elements distributed in various parts of your life (ie your home, your career, your favourable colour, the people around you etc). So it does not mean that unfavourable for you means you completely should not have it. Just that you should have as little of it as you possibly can. You will still require it to help balance everything as you need all five elements to balance yourself. The only difference is how much or how little of such element you should add to make it a perfect balance. In feng shui, the goal is for perfect harmony and balance.

So it is for important partnership or comparison then you really go and check on this. Otherwise, it is really impractical to check on everyone. No one does this. Furthermore, like I mentioned, relationship with others is one factor. Often we consider this as Human Luck factor which is harder for one to control. But there are always ways to improve it. I mean that is why having good people to people skill will allow you to be able to make friends easily. The area you usually have more control is choosing the right house (Earth Luck), the right decoration in the room to improve family harmony, the right colour to boost your own individual luck, the suitable career to boost your career luck.

In any two couples, there is always an element or two elements together that you can use to harmonise them. The best way for couples would be the room colour and house decor. If the common area the two person share have favourable colours, this helps to reduce potential conflict and improve harmony. The rest will depend on your own Human Luck effort. ie how much each of you are willing to give and take to make a relationship last. So in any relationship, there is always a way to attempt to improve the relationship by assessing the five element. The rest will then depend on individual effort. Hope that helps.

It's purpose is to assist users to determine which unit number is deemed more auspicious. This is especially useful when there are two units layout exactly the same, except one is one 4th level and another is on 7th level. So this report will be useful to determine which unit wil have better unit number Qi. Since this report is basically an extension of the flying star, the analysis results is more to tell you how good or bad the unit number would be like. As it is said that unit on different level, will have different luck as well. That is about all. As to whether or not the predicted effect will happen, it will depend a lot more on the actual flying star sector rather than on this unit number. So I won't worry too much about the unit number predicted analysis. Just use that description to gauge how auspicious or not is it. You should focus on fixing the flying star or shapes and form problems within the home. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Marilyn, marilyn o wrote: Does Bazi Depends on Place of Birth?? I remembersome fengshui mastersask for my friends' place of birth before he do their ba-zhi. For example, im born July 29, 1980 at 2:16pm. My bazhi will be different if I was born in US from if I was born in HK. 1. Theorically, if you can factor in your exact place of birth (ie especially through theexact long. and lat. of birth), this would IDEALLY give you a more accurate analysis. But it has to be done via the exact long. and lat. of birth. Other methods that are currently used (ie the timezone differences etc) are not really good way to factor location due to the simplication of timezone and many reasons. 2. However, realistically there are many people who don't even know the exact time of birth let alone the exact place of birth. So if one really want to consider the long. and lat. factor, I personally find that you will end up with ahigher degree of error rather than being more accurate. So I find thisfactor does not necessary mean that you will get a more accurate analysis, in fact, it is more likely you may make the analysis less accurate if information are not 100% correct. 3. Furthermore, if you really know the mechanics behind the ba zi chart is derived, you will know that it was designed such that even if you leave the time of birth unknown, you can still get a fairly accurate analysis. Why? Thus, for those that attempted to factor in the timezone different, this factor really significantly affect much of the luck factor. Only the characteristics and breakdown of five element percentage will differ. The rest will have minimal impact except maybe the presences of like clashes/harms in different luck pillar which tells us whether you will have a difficult period or not. Essentially, not much will have much impact from the hour pillar. That is why you find that often when it comes to really famous personalities being analysed on their ba zi, you find that most just use the date of birth (without the time of birth nor location factor), and yet it is able to get a good forecast on that person. 4.The ba zi is only a heavenly given luck, so it is supposed to forecast only what is supposed to happen. A lot of people have the misconception that ba zi is able to 100% predict past events. This is actually not true. A ba zi can forecast the type of luck, assuming that there are no other external factors that influence you. However, in the real world, your home/your environment/your relationship with people around you/your education etc will have direct impact over your home. Especially your home (Earth Luck) and your relationship (Human Luck). It is these changes/factor that often result in difference in predicted luck and what you exactlly experience. For example, when your luck period is bad, but your home feng shui is good and your environment is good, your luck will often be better than your predicted luck. So it does not mean that having factor in the exact long. and lat. will mean that the ba zi will be more accurate. On the contrary, it is likely to make the chart less accurate if you do not get the long. and lat. correctly. 5. In fact the only way to get a very very accurate fortune told, is not just to focus on one single theory. The reason why feng shui when applied correctly is so powerful is not because it is so, but rather because of the numerous feng shui theories that work together to give a very well rounded analysis. Each theory has it's advantage and edge, so only when you really take advantage of it, will you really get a full and all rounded analysis. That is why to get a really accurate fortune, you cannot just depend on Ba Zi analysis. A really accurate analysis is done using several concepts such as a combination of (ba zi analysis, horoscope/astrology/zi wei dou shu analysis, palmistry analysis, face reading analysis, i-ching/oracle, etc). It is the use of all these concept together, that one can really get a really accurate analysis. This is because each theory will reinforce the other, and as the saying goings the more concept you use, the more accurate the analysis because each theory will cancel the weakness of the other. So to get a more accurate analysis, you should be using the different tools (taking the best analysis result of each tool so as to get the best possible reading). There is no way to get an accurate just by depending on one single concept. 6. So more important, I find that focusing on intepretating the analysis based on how the information balanced up is ultimately what makes ba zi so flexible and yet able to give a good prediction. It is how the chart balance up that gives us an understanding as to why this year is good or bad. This is why though there are different variations in concepts, when the consultant/master does a very good analysis of the chart, you will find that they will still be able to pinpoint what's wrong and how to correct them. So it is a good interpretation of the chart that tells a good forecast from a bad on. So it is for the above reasons and many other reaons which I haven't touch on that is why we DO NOT require the place of birth information. As we really find it unnecessary and only adds more room for error rather than making it more accurate. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

We are looking for new resale flat in this few months, can you advise what are the factor that we should look into it in this 8 luck cycle ? Given that both of you have same West group, therefore it should easy to find a house that will suit both you and your wife. The best period 8 (built in 2004-2023) facing house are North-East/South-West facing. So you can consider that in your search. In addition, beside the house facing, you should ensure the bedroom falls in one of your good sectors as well. Remember the house facing is defined as follows:- Other factors that you should look out for can be found in this talk notes we provide during our feng shui talks:- Hope that helps.
