Hi Anon, I believe it that is refering to the Flying Star concept. There is a description which is quite similiar, Up mountain and Down Mountain. So 7 Up could refer to Number 7 Star in the Up mountain or 7 Star in the Down mountain configuration. Up mountain and Down mountain simply refers to where the mountain is located ether at the front or back of the house depending on the frontage. Hope that helps.

Hi Anon, There is no mircle solution for helping you sell the house in terms of feng shui. The only things you can do is maybe use some of the good points about the house especially if it is feng shui friendly. You will be better off making sure that you have price the house at a correct price, and ensuring that the place is kept clean and look new (ie fresh coat of paint). Most people will like that. Also, ensure you get an agent with lots of network contacts. The more comfortable the people that come to view your house look, the more likely you will be able to sell the place. That is about the best advise you can follow. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Song Kin San, Frankly, you can choose any of the 4 good directions. It does not really matter which belongs to which direction as best or not. As long as you sit face one of your good direction, you will enjoy luck from your suitable direction. Of course, we try to assoicate which type of sector is best for which. So for bedroom or sleeping position, obviously it is best for the health or longevity. However, it won't be wrong even if you choose to have your bed facing prosperity etc. Hope that helps.

Hi Anon, Since most objects are defined by the colour, if you have nearly all items in your home not favouring you it is quite difficult to say change everything. Probably, change whatever you can, for example re-painting the rooms would be cheaper than repainting the car. So whatever you can change without costing too much money go ahead and do it first, those which you cannot afford to change, next time when you replace it then change the colours etc. In addition, since this is regarding martial discord, probably it will be a good ideal to seek counselling (non-feng shui method) to attempt to find out what's wrong in the relationship. I mean in terms of relationship, it really takes two parties to make it work. If both parties are willing to give and take, there isn't any reason why you cannot maintain a better relationship. But certainly it has to be both parties willing to make it work. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Hi Sophia, May I know if the home is a Landed Property or an apartment? 1. If landed property, you can take the compass direction from the main frontage of the house. 2. If it is an apartment on high floors say above 9/10, then you can take the frontage from living room/balcony area. If not sure, take a North direction reading, and mark it on the layout plan, we can help you obtain the main door/facing direction. Hope that helps.

Hi Lynn, Eight House concept is all about suitability. There is really nothing you can do if a house isn't suitable to you except not to buy or stay in such a house. This is because even if a house is good, but if it does not suit you, it is like saying you can only obtain 25-50% of the luck from the house. So what is the point of buying such a house. The only thing I can say here is that if you are not the breadwinner of the house, then it is not as bad. This is because the breadwinner's suitability to the house is more important than the family members staying in the same home. However, if possible, you should try to avoid such a unsuitable house. Especially if it faces your Death or Disaster. Remember, that once you buy the house, there is no way you can change the direction of the house. So if it is unsuitable, best to avoid it wherever possible. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Hi Anon, For Eight House, this kind of opposite situations are quite common. Here is where you must apply the give and take approach. For example, the house should best fit the breadwinner earning most for the entire family. While the bedrooms should be suitable to other family members that will be staying there. So for example, if the breadwinner gets a Prosperity facing, even if he gets a lesser suitable bedroom ie spook / irritation, this should be fine. The breadwinner should then give the spouse a better room ie Health. That means that even if the spouse isn't that suitable to the house, she will draw luck from the more suitable bedroom. Other areas, you must use other concepts such as:- 1.Ba zi element to determine what colours, career etc are most suitable to you, then enhance as many areas in your life so that you have favourable elements to assist you. 2. Flying Star to determine whether the house is auspicious or inauspicious. Make sure you balance up all the star 5/2 which are sickness and misfortune stars. 3. Make sure your home isn't Death or Disaster to you else, in the long run to get better luck you have to move out to a more suitable place. Else you will continue to face problems. Make use of the many free tools provided on our website to help you find out what are the poential area that could be affecting you. Only then can you know how to enhance your luck. Often, when you face lots of problems at once, it is usually a series of flaws present at the same time (ie. luck period bad, house feng shui bad, house suitability bad, career element not suitable etc). So unless you understand why it is so, it is hard for anyone to tell you how you should be correcting it. Our tools helps you get some understanding so that you can attempt to create an environment most suitable to you and your family. Hope that helps.

Hi Diana, For choice of tomb, you will have to use shapes and forms concept to determine which part of the land would be better. Probably, look out for like the Four Symbolic animals, where is the tortise protection, where is the open area, and many other shapes and form concept like water position, mountain position etc. Those are more important in the choice of a tomb location. The Eight House suitability isn't used for the dead, it is a concept for the living. Probably best, here to get someone who does tomb location geomancer as they can better advise you which is better position. Hope that helps.

Dear Knight Elliott, Regarding the toilet in the center, unfortunately, there isn't much you can do unless you can move the toilet position to another location. The only thing you can do is keep the toilet door close and toilet seat cover down when not in use. Try to fix up other areas in your home that is fixable to increase luck from other areas so as to compensate for this flaw. Probably the corner from the wall would be the thing you should worry more. It is hard for me to tell you how you can block it, some suggestions would be if you can have some form of partition blocking the qi shi at the main door or some plants at the corner to break the shape of the poison arrow. Those should help in some way or another. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Shan, Glad that you enjoy the website. The reason there isn'tinfo on mobile homes, is that there isn't such a thing in the past. All homes once built isn't built to move around. But in any case, since the home is mobile, I would say that the date you move the home in would be the year the house will be considered built. So it that means period 8 (2004-2023). So this should be probably the best way to classify the year it was built in your case. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Hi Anon, Our system uses western date and time of birth as the input parameters. It will convert the western dob into lunar calendar for analysis. You will need to use the western dob to use our analysis. Based on your lunar calendar 21 day, 4th month, 1974, your western dob is either 12 May 1974 or 11 May 1974. Depending on whether you are born on the 1st 4th (Big Moon) month or the 2nd 4th (Small Moon) month. This is because that year has an intercalary lunar month. So there are two 4th months. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Hi Anthony, Flying star luck changes for every 20-year, year, month, and even day and hour. So if the consultation was done for yearly type of analysis, and cures being suggested is to fix up only yearly cure, then yes the cure might not be appropriate anymore. Usually, a good analysis should focus on fixing the larger picture ie problems in the 20-year sector which wholes true for a long people. And some minor fine tuning for the yearly stars. This way even if you do not make changes to the yearly stars, it will not matter too much. Anyway, all depends on the person doing your consultation. It seems your consultant applies yearly cure only. Meaning every year you review, it will be different again. Hope that helps.

Dear Wing Seng Lee, Frankly, there are many issues that need to be looked at when you want to know why you are facing problems. 1. Heaven Luck only gives you an idea what luck you are supposed to have and what elements are generally favourable or unfavourable to you. You also have to know what percentage of elements you have to that you can fine tune as many areas to be suitable to you. 2. Job Industry and Job scope also makes a big difference. ie say you are in the banking industry (Metal), but if you job scope is management or customer relationship (Earth), if you are in sales or marketing (Fire) or if your in IT (metal). 3. In addition, for those that are always having problems, our experiences tells us often it could be the Earth Luck (your Home) which could be the major cause of your problems. ie if the house is not suitable to you, or that your home has very bad feng shui then you will also have very bad feng shui even though your ba zi luck may be excellent. Sometimes, it can also be bad home feng shui as well as house problem. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Nhan Vo, Frankly, wind chime is useful if placed outside the house or close to the window area. It can be very irritating if you place inside the house especially in your situation. Alternative to a wind chime, you can choose to suitable colour scheme such as White/Gold (Metal) colours to balance up the sector. Alternatively, use the 6 coins with red string as an alternative. But also it depends on what is the other stars in the sector, sometimes if there is a star 6 in the sector, then I don't think the star 5 annual star may be that of a big issue. I think you should consider the implications of a wind chime as it can be very irritation for the family. So instead of making it better it may make it worst for everyone. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Frankly, there is no mircle feng shui solution for a successful sale of a business. So far only possible thing you can do is to try to choose luck dates or ensuring you wear more favourable colours during your meeting with the potential buyer. Probably only additional feng shui method is to quote some feng shui benefits. Maybe it will help change the buyer's mind. You will probably want to take a look at non-feng shui solution, ie painting the walls to make the place look clean and tidy. In addition, list out the reasons why the place is good and stress on it. Frankly, if the place is as good as you say, then probably you are not advertising it well enough for potential people to know about it. Or maybe you are expecting a price that is too high compared to other locations in the area. Hope that helps.

Hi Anon, Frankly, you will need to identify what are the key problems with your life. Only then can you will you have the knowledge to attempt to improve your life. As I keep mentioning in the forum, a person has to review all his Heaven, Earth & Human luck. You need to see whether your problem arises from say your Heaven Luck (maybe you are in a very bad luck period this year). Or is it due to your home maybe having very bad feng shui or some illness or misfortune star etc. My best guess is that you either have one or both the problems in your Heaven Luck as well as Earth Luck. Plus a little bit of Human Luck (ie worrying too much). Sometimes, all these bad things happen because you think too much about it, thus making it happen. My advise is for you to understand more where exactly is the source of the problem, then you can better use feng shui to correct it. In our members aresa, you can make use of the various tools to help access what might be the possible areas which you might need to correct. Meanwhile, you should also not think too much into it. I am not sure what religion you belief in, but why not just do something in your country to so call "wash away" the bad luck. Hope that helps.

Hi Romila, Firstly, my question to you would be are you in the position to be able to correct problems within the office, ie make decisions as to what colours to paint the room, change the position of the work areaetc. If not, then I am afraid, there is very little you can correct or create an environment that would have less tension through the Heaven or Earth Luck factor. That leaves you with only Human Luck. That is improve relationships between the colleagues through being more tolerant or getting to know them better through say lunch or dinners etc. Creating better person to person relationship would probably be the only way you can go about improving that kind of issues. As to the question about improving your wealth. It is anyone guess unless a full analysis is done for you. This is because if you really want to improve your wealth, you will need to:- 1. Understand what is your given luck (ie from your ba zi), ie what element favours / unfavours you. When your luck is good or bad so that you can know how to avoid when it is bad, and take advantage when it is good time. You also need to know what elements/colours/career/house direction favours you. Then get as much of these areas favourable to you as possible. 2. You also need to know how is your Earth Luck (your home), whether it suits you or not, how is the feng shui luck from your home. Most of the time those people with poor luck and problems often is because of the problems present in the Home. Especially unfixed Leaks in the Home, ie a toilet in the center of the house, qi leak etc. 3. Last but not least, even if you have the best Heaven and Earth luck, but you do not have sufficient Human Luck, normally like in having good work attitude/hardworking etc. You will not be able to take advantage of your luck. ie a lazy person or a person who always qurrel with others for example will not likely make you succeed. No single so call item will bring you success. Feng Shui is all about creating an environment which is most favourable/harmonise for you to leave in. The more your feel comfortable say in your home, the better you will be able to focus on your work. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Francisco, There are two ways to look at it. If you sell things complementary to the needs for the dead, probably you will do quite well. If you don't, and, then you will definately not benefit from it. So if you think your business is affected by it, better move out to a better location. Don't know how else to advise you here. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Wing Seng Lee, In addition, if you have a house facing North (Water) house, you again draw luck from your home. You luck also changes from time to time so different elements are present at different time. Whenever, elements favourable to you fall in your 10-year, year, 6-month, month, day etc, you will tend to find things going more smoothly for you. Check out this useful talk notes which we provide on our talks:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/talknotes/talknotes.htm So it does not mean you cannot enjoy it, just that you need to work harder to ensure you are strong enough before you can benefit from your wealth element. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Kelvin, So even if you are a weak Metal, you are a weak metal that needs more Metal and Earth. If your element say water has 0%, even though Water generally weakens your weak Metal, having some Water will also benefit you. This is because the ultimate goal is to attain 20% Earth, 20% Metal, 20% Water, 20% Wood, 20% Fire to achieve what we call a perfect balance. But this is virtually impossible to attain because it is very difficult for anyone to tell you how much of each element you have at any one time. As such, generally, if you follow your weak Metal definition. As long as you enhance your Earth and Metal you will be stronger. And that is your aim. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, In feng shui, as long as you cannot see the threat it no longer becomes a problem. In your case, given that you cannot do much about the arrangement or change to a better location, then whatever you can put that can help block or break the shape of the corner will definately help. As such your suggestion on the artificialplant will certainly help. It will also act as a decorative makes your office look nicer. Hope that helps.

Dear Jacinta, However, if you look at the west, there is a luck 4 leave clover which is lucky even though there is 4. So this is really subjective. It is upto you whether you find it good or not. But to most people they will try to avoid it when possible. Anyway, the house number is the least impact over the luck of the house. In fact, the 1st problem you have on the Qi leak should be looked at with higher priority than the house number. So, I won't worry to much about the house number if I were you. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Pam, Frankly, whether which is better, will depend on which chart will better fit the house. For example, if you have double 8 at the main door or facing direction, obviously this would be most ideal. But if your double 8 occur in the toilet location, then it isn't as beneficial. Same goes for the sum of ten. If the sum of ten occurs at a main door or facing direction, obviously this will be good. If both occur at the best location, then probably double 8 would be better as this is the reigning period 8 so it is the best stars to have at the frontage. Sum of Ten would not be as good as a double 8. But as mentioned, these beneficial stars must occur at the right sectors of the house for the owner to benefit, otherwise, no use. Hope that helps.
