Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Is there any particular direction that the Kuan Yin altar must face? How about facing the main entrance ofa house? Is it OK? Or is it better to face the living room windows? Generally, any alter should follow the following rules:- 1. The altar should not face the main door entrance. This is like employing the god as a security guard for the house. 2. Try if possible not to let the altar face the dining table as the god will be looking at the food while you eat. 3. Try not to have the toilet located directly behind the wall that you place the altar. 4. The altar should not face into the bedroom. Generally, it is best to place the altar looking say out towards the living room window. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Vivienne, Anonymous wrote: I was told before not to use animals as a company logo as it symbolises "unstability". Is this true? My company is currently dealing with software distribution and I'm considering to have a penguin included in the company logo as it's related to the software. Is it advisable? What objects/animals is the best to be used as a company logo? If this was true than probably in terms of Computing the Linux which uses the penguin should have close down now because it uses the penguin as an icon. But instead it has been gaining momentum as well as popularity. Or in terms of cat food which uses cat as logo, or dog food which uses dog as an logo will not be successful. Frankly, how good or bad a logo really depends more on how well the design / colour of the logo suits the business owner as well as the business itself. Also, the sybomlic meaning of the overall design will be equally important. Depending on what kind of business, your logo should be appropriate. ie for logo it should be simple yet attractive for people to remember for brand awareness. Ultimately, the success or failure of a business does not really lie in the logo by itself, but rather the business model itself. I mean if you have a business that has lots of demand, it will be hard for you not to be able to survive or succeed. But if you have a product that nobody is interested or simply have too much cash burn that your revenue is not able to recoup, then the likely of failure will be higher. No amount of Feng Shui can help you in such cases. The main goal of using Feng Shui in design of logo or layout planning is to create a harmonious environment that everyone feels comfortable to look or work in. This is especially for the business owner, if you have no stress and feel happy, you are likely to have higher success to focus on your business. Your customers will also feel good about your services etc. Then your business will likely be more successful. Hope that helps.

Dear Sophia, 1. Honestly, this really depends on how you define Qi flow and the context you are using it in. 2. For houses, we usually talk about Qi flowing into the home. For example, if your living room frontage faces East. 3. Will Qi, or air, flow in from the West towards the East? So wouldn’t you prefer good Qi from the East to flow into your home, instead of bad Qi coming in from the West? 4. That’s why, on our website, when we define the facing direction, we focus on where good Qi can flow into the house, rather than allowing bad Qi to enter. 5. The other concept is more commonly used in Yin Feng Shui, where you want a strong amount of good Qi behind you to ward off bad Qi. So, in Yin Feng Shui, sitting in your good sector helps you gather good Qi to protect yourself from negative Qi. However, I know there are websites that prefer to define the house facing using this method, which can be quite confusing. 6. We have carefully studied the differences between Yin (for the dead) Feng Shui and Yang (for the living) Feng Shui. 7. Our approach is a practical one, based on Feng Shui meant for the living, which is Yang Feng Shui. 8. So, in the end, it really comes down to how you define Qi flow. For us, when we say a house faces East, it means that when you stand inside the house and look out, you are looking towards the East. So if East is a good direction for you, we want good Qi to come in from the East towards the West, so that the Qi circulating into the house is beneficial. 9. In truth, both concepts are not actually wrong. What matters is what kind of Qi you want to flow in, and whether you are applying it for Yin or Yang Feng Shui. 10. I usually prefer not to rely too much on “sitting” or “facing” directions because if you don’t get the orientation correct, it’s easy to get mixed up. Using the compass (North–South) orientation is clearer. So, facing East simply means you are literally facing the East direction. Hope that helps.

Is it ok?? Or is there any way to remedy it?? Under the Eight House, Death and Disaster are two worst sector, while Irritation and Spook are less impact. So given than it is your irritation, though it is not the most suitable it isn't the worst sector also. In addition, at least you are sleeping in your South facing (ie Prosperity sector unless I am mistaken as you didn't give me the gender in your details but both gave the same results). The only thing else you can do is simply decorate the room is suitable colours favouring your ba zi element to offset any further influence of the unsuitability. Use the free ba zi report to determine what colours are good for you:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm Anonymous wrote: My bedroom is also directly above the kitchen. The main problem or worry for such a layout is the fact that the kitchen has the high probability for a fire to start. And since smoke or fire rises upward, the bedroom would be the first to get hit by a fire from the ktichen. For this problem, the best recommended solution is simply to install a smoke detector for the kitchen. This will alert you in case there is a fire starting from the kitchen so that you have sufficient time to get far away from the danger. This is far more practical than using like 6 coins or windchime or any so call feng shui products/items etc. These items will only melt away in the fire, where the smoke detector can give you sufficient warning to avert the danger. Also, probably handy to keep a fire extinguisher close by to stop small fire outbreak. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Just another query, what if the breadwinner do not have the facing of the house andthe bedroom isin the death position. What can they do? This would mean that the house is generally not very suitable to the breadwinner. Unfortunately, suitability to a house is one thing that you cannot really correct after you move in. You either can enjoy maximum amount of luck from the house if it suits you or, enjoy less if it does not suit you. Another thing you can check is the ba zi element and direction. If the bedroom is death sector under the eight house, but the direction of the room is still favourable to your ba zi, then it is not as bad. It is even worst if the ba zi direction of the sector is bad as well as your eight house suitability. If the main door is disaster facing with a death sector bedroom and the ba zi direction also not suitable, than my advise in the long run is to move out to a better house so as to be able to enjoy better luck. In the short term solution, correcting/enhancing all other areas can only minimise the overall impact and get you some improvement. However, you will not be able to enjoy a quantum leap in feng shui in such a situation. The long term solution unfortunately is to move out to a more suitable home to enjoy a quantum leap in feng shui. If your house facing is spook or irritation, or if your ba zi direction for the main door or bedroom is still favourable. Then it will help offset the influence. Either way, the thing you can do to at least improve overall feng shui is like what I mentioned above, attempt to fix all other feng shui leaks and enhance whatever possible (ie colour scheme, etc). These will help improve or reduce the overall unsuitability. This is why choosing a good home before you buy the home is very important. Such suitability issues is hard to correct once you own the home. Unless of course there is alternative bedroom to make use but often these is impractical due to space constraint. Hope thathelps.

However, you should also look out for where are the star 8 as this represents your future prosperity. So activating it will help you to continue to enjoy your future prosperity luck in addition to your current prosperity.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Recently I just had my new house key & now started renovation. I am just wondering ifit issuitable toplacean air-con abovethe bedroom's door? Is that a bad location? Thanks for your help! Generally for air-conditioner placement. You should avoid if possible to have the air-con located above the toilet door or directly above your bed. These are two not so good placements. The other aspect is to ensure that air-con does not blow directly into your face when you sleep. This may cause you to wake up the next day and catch cold. If you do have such a placement, then adjust the air con flap to blow down, so that it does not blow at an angle towards your face when you sleep. Otherwise, most commonis to place the air conditioner is just above your bedroom entrance. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Based on a couple's birth details, is it possible to tell whether a particular year is a good year for them to purchase a new house, property? The ba zi can only tell you what luck you are supposed to enjoy in any particular time and period. This is often used to check whether it is a good date, good month, good year etc. So you can make use of it as a guide whether this is a good or bad year to own a property etc. However, purchasing a home is only one aspect. Finding a good hosue that fits the family and has good overall feng shui luck is more important. This is because the house luck can adversely influence your ba zi given luck. Thus, finding a good house is even more important than buying at the right time. Why do I say this? Very simple. Say if the ba zi luck tells you this year is not a good year for you while next year is good for you. Then you come across a fantastic home and do not buy it this year. What if the house is no longer available next year. Then you might miss out on a good house that could actually improve your inauspicious luck forthe year. So my point is, itisn't really as important to wait for a good year to purchase a home, but getting a home that fits the family is ultimately more important. Hope that helps.

Anonymous wrote: What if the house facing is good for the husband and the more suitable bedroom is given to the wife, but the more suitable position is at the same time death to the husband? Wherever possible if you should avoid death and disaster for key facing direction and bedroom. But where it is not possible, then at least the breadwinner has luck from the house, so even if he takes a less suitable bedroom like death or disaster, still acceptable. But what it does tell is that this house isn't the most well suited house for the breadwinner. Thus, it is always important that before you purchase a home, you try to ensure that such an issue does not arise. Anyway, as long as your husband continue to improve or get luck from other favourable elements in the ba zi (ie weak wood person needs water and wood). Thus, have more favourable colours (blue/black/gray or green/brown), or more suitable career etc. These will help offset any influence even if he stays in a sector that is death or disaster.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: How about if the facing falls under the disaster/death sector for children? Does it matter much? You see you should focus the house suitability to suit the key breadwinner. Once the house suits the breadwinner, the rest of the family will enjoy luck from it since that breadwinner will provide for the entire family. Since most of the time the breadwinner is defined as the head of the house often the husband. Thus the spouse is the next key person in the family. As such, it would be great also if the spouse facing of the house does not fall under the death and disaster. But this is only good to have. Not necessary. As long as the spouse has a suitable bedroom, then even if the house isn't that suitable it does not matter. Once the breadwinner has the best house facing direction. The rest of the family should ensure that they have a suitable room that they will draw luck from their bedroom. They will automatically benefit from the breadwinner who draw luck from the house.

Grand Duke is usually affected by major renovations especially any hacking works etc. Although, paintings are not as major, it still does consider as a renovation. Best thing to do is simply just offer a little prayer to Grand Duke apologising for disturning him before you start work and probably choose a good date also.

Dear Sophia, Sophia Chia wrote: May I know more about the triple combinations and what does it mean? Eg. this triple combinations of Base Star, Mountain Star and Water Star (BS9, MS3, WS6) neutralises the inauspicious influence created by the Flying Star. Thus, this is considered an auspicious combination. Right! No doubt there is no mountain star and/or no water star to activate. Sophia Chia wrote: As the triple combinations is considered an auspicious, why can't a mountain star and/or water star can be activateat this sector. Triple Combination is considered auspicious, simply because the element or at least the bad stars are being neutralised so that it no longer becomes a threat in the sector. Often, the inauspicious star will in turn make the originally average stars better because like a Strong Earth when met with weak Metal will make weak Metal stronger. And if weak Metal is an average star it will benefit from the inauspicious star. A mountain or water star that can be activated are only stars that are based on the period of the base period. ie period 8, auspicious mountain/water star is star 8. If such stars are not present for example, then there isn't any benefit in activating it. So the triple combination does not convert a ordinary star into an auspicious mountain/water star. As such you cannot activate it. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

However, under his ming kua, west is his Death sector. Should he follow his Bazhi pointing west to sleep or follow his kua (best 4 directions) to sleep? It is best to follow this rule:- 1. Ba Zi direction is best applied to more macro feng shui analysis. Such as North of the country or North facing house. 2. Eight House direction is best applied to more micro feng shui analysis. Such as the sleeping / work / study direction. Therefore, you should follow the eight house direction more than the ba zi element of the direction. Ba Zi element should be enhance by other method such as colours of clothings, career, etc. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Studing these 2 Charts I found, that my wife and I do have not a common sector - even worse these 2 types are totaly opposite (Where she has her optimum main door, I have spook and vice versa) - and the same again is true for the bedroom. Should we live in the same house at all? regards Marc Berthoud Basically, this is a very common problem for most people. But not to worry, just follow these steps:- 1. Breadwinner should have a house facing that suits him. At the same time if possible, it should not fall under the death or disaster sector for the spouse. It is ok if the house is spook or irritation for the spouse. 2. Spouse should be given a more suitable bedroom since the breadwinner has the luck from the suitable house. The breadwinner should then take a less suitable bedroom, ie spook or irritation. This way the spouse can get a more suitable bedroom to compensate for her getting less luck from the house. If you follow this method, you should be able to find a suitable house even if both person's chart is completely opposite. Hope that helps.

Dear Reina, Reina Bernadette De Leon wrote: My house is in period 7. Should I also follow the flying star of 2005 to cure the afflictions and enhance the stars of the other sectors. My gua number is 9 and my death direction is northwest. What cure should I install to negate chue ming? Thanks you. The easiest way to apply flying star is always fix up the 20-year sector because this influence will last the longest as long as the house luck does not change. The yearly luck will come and go each year. So these changes are not absolutely lasting very long. However, a little caution to where the star 5 and 2 which are the two worst stars should be neutralized where possible. Usually, enough metal (white/gold) element will balance such problematic stars. So follow the yearly flying star only when your 20-year flying star is balanced. Eight house is about your suitability to a sector. Flying Star is the luck of the house. Even if a sector such as North-West which is a Death sector for you. It does not mean that you shouldn't fix up the sector based on the flying star. These are two different concept. It is hard for me to suggest any cure unless I know what is the influence of the sector that you are worried about. Every home is unique and every person is also unique. So unless you know what is wrong, one cannot simply just give you a general solution because it will not work. If you are worried about whether the flying star sector is bad or not, tell me what is the influence of that sector (ie Mountain Star /Base Star /Water Star and year star for that sector you are worried about).
