Dear Wilson, The day of the Heavenly Stem is the stem which determines your ba zi element. It will not change under any combination. ie. if the Heavenly Stem is Wood, but a combination between Day and Month changes both element of the Day and Month to Fire, your birth element is still Wood. However, how weak or strong your Wood is will be affected by the various changes in the five element that are found in your chart. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Users, For those who have been visiting our website since yesterday, might noticed that there are some changes to the website navigation interface. We have brought back the fun in the website by assigning different website colour theme to each section of the website, this was a also to suit the expanding Navigation category. Since the site is pretty large, it will take a few more days to fully update each of the major section of the website with the various cool colour scheme. But as at now, most of the major section would have been uploaded to the website. This breakdown is to allow us to further group some of the related sections together in the various key sections to make it even easier for you to find all the various services and resources on our website. It is also geared to making the site fun to surf (just like in the past before we consolidated to a standard navigation, but has no time to refine the individual colour section scheme.) We are also gearing to introduce various content improvement each section. Hope you enjoy the update! Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Will Computerised Ba Zi produce less accurate results than manual Ba Zi analysis? That depends on several factors: 1. Who programmed Geomancy.Net’s online Ba Zi? Ba Zi analysis is extremely complex because many types of information can be derived from a single chart, such as your Ba Zi element, luck periods, career, and health. To produce a high-quality Ba Zi analysis, the programmer must have a deep understanding of the system, including its traditional variations, newer modified styles, and the different calendar systems used. For Geomancy.Net, the online Ba Zi analysis was personally programmed by Robert Lee to replicate the manual approach used by Cecil Lee or myself. The format of the Ba Zi report matches exactly how we would chart it manually. Instead of spending time drawing out the charts ourselves, we use computing power to handle all the calculations. This lets us focus on analyzing the results rather than on manual computations. If we were to do a manual analysis of a single Ba Zi chart, we’d need to chart all the Pillars (hour, day, month, year) plus two advanced pillars (House of Life and House of Conception). Next, we would examine all related details, such as each Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch, the hidden ten deities, combinations and clashes of elements, which elements combine or join but do not combine, and how the seasons affect the elements. Frankly, with manual work, you would likely focus only on the most important and basic aspects, often skipping some possible calculations. This is where Computerised Ba Zi excels. Once all the rules and combinations are programmed, the computer can evaluate every possible scenario, so no calculation is missed—which often happens with manual analysis. As a result, computerised Ba Zi provides all the necessary information for Cecil or myself to quickly identify problems or explain what is happening in the chart. This greatly reduces computation time, allowing us to focus on analyzing more charts and providing very detailed and comprehensive analyses, which might not always be possible with manual methods. 2. How detailed is the computerised Ba Zi analysis by Geomancy.Net? The level of detail in a computerised Ba Zi analysis depends on the expertise of the programmer. For example, Geomancy.Net’s Ba Zi analysis is currently at version 9/10, which means it goes far beyond just analysing the basic chart. It not only analyses but also replicates the explanations exactly as we would provide in a manual analysis. Many of our Ba Zi reports are specifically written in a way that matches how Cecil and I would prepare them manually. As a result, our analysis covers not only the essential information but also many aspects usually found in a full manual analysis. This allows our Ba Zi system to generate highly accurate and detailed reports. It enables us to focus on further analysis that cannot be handled by a computer, such as relating personalised events or addressing specific questions about your chart. When users purchase our Expert Help, we use these detailed online reports as a foundation to provide additional personalised insights that go beyond what the computer can calculate. We also offer a range of paid analyses, many of which are not available to the general public, that produce explanations so comprehensive and human-like that you might not realise they are computer-generated. However, it is important to remember that even the best computerised report has its limits. At Geomancy.Net, these computerised tools help us concentrate on the final analysis rather than the time-consuming computations. Honestly, our computerised system has advanced to a point where creating a similar report manually would take days or even weeks. Users who receive our reports often find many new details revealed to them, and with a better understanding, they discover a wealth of information. This is one of the main reasons we hold Heaven Luck conferences—to continue producing articles that help users make full use of our Ba Zi analysis. 3. How accurate is our computerised Ba Zi analysis? Our Ba Zi analysis is as accurate as the programming behind it. We do not manipulate Ba Zi information to produce favorable results. Instead, we rely on the computational power of the system to determine all the various relationships according to established Ba Zi rules. The computer examines every possible combination, clash, harm, and interaction, such as the Ten Deities. This approach allows users to see any potential issues, such as health problems, imbalances in the Five Elements, or general luck patterns from the time of birth. We never alter or deliberately adjust the rules to suit any particular analysis. The Ba Zi framework is followed step by step, giving you a clear and unbiased picture. You may have seen Ba Zi experts use famous personalities as examples to prove the accuracy of their calculations—often explaining certain events, accidents, or deaths based on specific chart clashes. Many readers have encountered such case studies. Often, these examples are selectively chosen or modified to fit a narrative. For instance, if two people—Person A, a celebrity, and Person B, an ordinary individual—are born at the same exact date and time, their charts will show the same clashes during the same luck periods. If the expert claims that a clash during the luck period explains an unfortunate event for Person A, why did Person B not face a similar fate? Shouldn’t their outcomes be alike? This illustrates how some analyses are manipulated to appear accurate. If you apply the same rules used by these experts to different people, you’ll find that the factors identified do not consistently apply. For another case, the expert may choose different reasons to explain the outcome. When we run such analyses through Geomancy.Net’s system, the explanations for why an event occurred are often different and more comprehensive. The issue is rarely just a single clash between a 10-year luck period and the day pillar. Usually, it involves a series of negative factors: an inauspicious 10-year luck period, a clash between the Year and Life Chart, an unfavorable 5-year luck period, and combinations that change favorable elements. The year itself may also bring bad luck, with a yearly clash affecting the Month Pillar. Even the month and day may be inauspicious. Often, these negative influences occur together, creating an especially difficult period. Additional factors, like being a Strong Water person with 80% Water in the chart, passing through Water luck periods, associating with people of similarly strong elements, or living in an environment dominated by these elements, can intensify risks and result in serious events or accidents. This is how we analyze each chart. Even with identical birth charts, no two people have exactly the same fate because their circumstances and influences differ. Geomancy.Net’s Ba Zi reports present information exactly as it appears in the chart, making it easier to identify the root causes of significant events. You can trust that our analysis offers an objective and unbiased look at your destiny. Our approach and rule set remain consistent across all cases. If a similar situation arises, our analysis will highlight the same problems. We never adjust the rules or findings just to fit an explanation for a particular person. This consistency ensures our results are always reliable and fair. 4. Why do some manual or computerised Ba Zi analyses not match your personal history? This is because Ba Zi reflects only your Heaven Luck, which is one of the three factors that influence your overall luck from a Feng Shui perspective. Your life is shaped by Heaven Luck, Earth Luck, and Human Luck. Of these, Earth Luck—affected by your surroundings and environment—is often the most significant. It can even override the influence of Heaven Luck. For example, someone whose Ba Zi suggests strong, auspicious luck over a 10-year period might still face difficulties. This doesn't mean their Ba Zi was incorrectly calculated; rather, it could be that the person lives in an environment that doesn't support their chart—like a Strong Wood person living in a Wood House with unfavorable features, such as a trapped layout or a major Feng Shui flaw like a toilet in the center of the home. Such issues can make a period inauspicious, despite what the Ba Zi chart shows. Additionally, Ba Zi is based on the luck you’re born with and doesn't account for other important factors, such as education, location, or the people around you. Education, for instance, can make a huge difference in your opportunities and success. Imagine twins born at the same time and place—one stays in the US and earns a PhD, while the other moves to India and receives only a primary education. Clearly, they will not have the same luck or earnings. These differences arise from influences outside of Ba Zi, which cannot consider such variables. Many people expect Ba Zi to produce results that match exactly what they've experienced, but this is a misconception. Ba Zi cannot predict your future or detail your past experiences precisely. It reveals the potential luck and opportunities laid out in your chart, showing you what you are supposed to have. When done properly, Ba Zi analysis provides a fairly accurate outline of your luck—assuming your Earth Luck isn’t negatively affected. The key is to understand how your luck is mapped out, so you can use this knowledge to your advantage. Feng Shui is not a magic solution; it helps you create a more harmonious environment and improve your luck. Once you feel comfortable and supported by your environment, you can become more productive and successful. Ultimately, however, your own effort is essential. For example, if your chart indicates a romance star for a certain period, you still need to socialize and make an effort to build a relationship. Similarly, in your career, hard work is necessary for success. Ba Zi is one tool in Feng Shui for understanding your Heaven Luck. If you learn how to maximize Heaven Luck and align it with Earth Luck, you will see the greatest benefits. +++ In Summary How accurate is our computerised Ba Zi analysis? Our computerised Ba Zi analysis is as accurate as its programming. We do not change Ba Zi information to get better results. Instead, our system uses set Ba Zi rules to look at every possible combination, clash, harm, and interaction, including the Ten Deities. This helps users see any possible health issues, imbalances in the Five Elements, or general luck from birth. We do not adjust or change the rules for any specific analysis. We follow the Ba Zi system step by step, giving an honest and clear view. Sometimes, Ba Zi experts use famous people to show how accurate their readings are, often linking important events or accidents to certain clashes in the chart. However, these examples can be chosen to fit a story. For example, if two people—a celebrity and an ordinary person—are born at the same time, their charts will show the same clashes. If the expert says a clash explains something unlucky for the celebrity, why doesn't the same thing happen to the ordinary person? Both should have similar outcomes. This shows that some analyses are adjusted to look more accurate. If you use the same rules on different people, the reasons given for events are often not consistent. For other cases, experts may use different explanations. When we use Geomancy.Net’s system, our reasons for events are usually more detailed and consider many factors. It is rarely just a single clash between a 10-year luck period and the day pillar. Often, there are several negative factors at once, like an unlucky 10-year luck period, a clash between the Year and Life Chart, an unlucky 5-year luck period, or changes to the favorable element. The year itself can also be unlucky, with a yearly clash in the Month Pillar. Even the month and day can be unlucky. Often, these negative factors happen together, making the period especially difficult. Other things, like having a chart with a lot of Water, going through Water luck periods, spending time with people with strong Water or Metal charts, or living in a house with strong Metal, can increase risks and cause serious events. This is how we look at every chart. Even with the same birth chart, two people can have very different lives because of outside influences. Geomancy.Net’s Ba Zi reports show things exactly as they appear in the chart, making it easier to understand the main reasons for events. Our analysis is fair and objective. Our approach and rules are always the same. If the same situation happens, our analysis will reveal the same issues. We never change the rules to fit a specific person. This makes our results reliable and fair. 4. Why do some manual or computerised Ba Zi analyses not match your personal history? Ba Zi only shows your Heaven Luck, which is one of three main factors in Feng Shui that shape your luck: Heaven Luck, Earth Luck, and Human Luck. Earth Luck, which comes from your surroundings and environment, is often the strongest and can affect your Heaven Luck. For example, someone whose Ba Zi shows strong luck for a certain period might still face problems. This does not mean the Ba Zi is wrong. It may be that the person lives in a place that does not support their chart, like a Strong Wood person living in a Wood House with a bad layout or a toilet in the center. These things can make the period unlucky, even if the Ba Zi chart is good. Ba Zi is also based only on the luck you are born with. It does not look at important things like your education, where you live, or the people around you. For example, education can change your chances and success. Imagine twins born at the same time and place—one stays in the US and gets a PhD, the other moves to India and only finishes primary school. They will not have the same luck or income. These differences come from things outside Ba Zi, which cannot show this. Many people think Ba Zi should match exactly what has happened in their life. This is not true. Ba Zi cannot predict your future or your past exactly. It only shows the luck and chances you are meant to have. When done right, Ba Zi analysis gives a good outline of your luck, as long as your Earth Luck is not harmed. The important thing is to know your luck so you can use it well. Feng Shui is not magic. It helps make your environment better and improves your luck. If you feel comfortable at home, you can work more productively and do better. But you still need to work hard yourself. For example, even if your chart shows a romance star, you need to meet people and try to build a relationship. The same goes for work—success needs effort. Ba Zi is just one Feng Shui tool for understanding Heaven Luck. If you work to combine Heaven Luck with Earth Luck, you will get the most benefit.

Dear Chin Teck Lee, You can use this free ba zi report to generate your true element and favourable or unfavourable elements. http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm Generally, a general analysis often takes only your year of birth. However, even in a Dragon year, there are weak Fire Dragon or Strong Water Dragon etc. Each different element and strength will have different luck in that year itself. I am not sure if you are a weak fire or strong fire, as each element will have different favourable and unfavourable elements. So please use the above reports to find out what are good and bad for you. Fire exhaust Wood. It does not clash. Fire is often good for Strong Wood. Wood is good for Fire as Wood produces Fire. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Diana, If you use this free report, it will show you exactly what elements and colours you will need:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm Or the Comparison Report within the Members Area will accurately find a Binding Element common to both of you. Generally for weak Metal and weak Fire, probably one set of binding element could be Fire (Red) and Earth (yellow). There are several different combinations but Fire and Earth would probably be the best as fire enhance weak the weak Fire, while Earth enhance Metal. This also helps you to create an harmonious combination of element Fire -> Earth -> Metal. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Human Luck is one of the factors which can help to improve your Heaven Luck and even Earth Luck. ie. Say you are a weak person and your life is always following your inauspicious path. Does it mean that you will be bound to have very inauspicious life? No. This is because you can actually borrow someone else luck to boost your own luck. In Feng Shui your Children is your greatest Wealth. Many times people nowadays always relates Wealth to physical money. However, in Feng Shui it is your Children which represents wealth. Why? Simply, if you educate and bring up your children, they will in turn look after you when you are old. So, say if you bring up 3 very filial children. One is a doctor, another is a Lawyer, another is a businessman. When you are old, you have them to depend on and they will allow you to leave a comfortable life. Compare it with another person who does not have children but just have physical money. A person can only work upto a certain age say 60. And all his savings depends on how much he has saved during his working days. Say he has saved $100,000. Will that amount be able to sustain him for a long period of time during this old age? So, you see in Feng Shui Human Luck which can be related to many areas such as family relationship particularly your children. Thus, your children's individual luck can be taken advantage of so as to boost your own Heaven Luck.

1. In the Gua Calculation, what calendar system to use? Before you even start to calculate the Gua Number, you should have already converted your YEAR of birth to the Chinese Lunar Calendar. All concepts on this website all bases it's calculation in relation to the Chinese Calendar system (and is done automatically for you when you use our online calculators). In Feng Shui there are two calendar system the Chinese Lunar Calendar System and the Xia Calendar System (or more accurately the Seasonal Calendar). Where the Xia Calendar is always closely related and can be deduced from the Lunar Calendar. In fact all Feng Shui theories so far are related to the Lunar Calendar. Those theories which requires Seasonal influence will require Xia Calendar system. The Chinese has all along been using the Chinese Lunar and Xia Calendar System. Thus, all Chinese related Feng Shui must use the Chinese Calendar for any calculations. This goes the same even for the Chinese Astrology or Horoscope. You use the Chinese Calendar as your Date of Birth and not the Western date of birth. 2. Is Chinese Feng Shui concepts like I-Ching, Ba Zi, Flying Star, Eight House, Name analysis considered Numerology? Yes. Frankly, I must say the Chinese has long developed a simple yet effective Calculation. Take the Chinese Calculator (abacus) for example. It is so simple yet, powerful. If you know how to use the abacus for calculation, you can calcuate the most complex mathematics without even a modern calculator. And best of all you can do it all Mentally. I-Ching's concept of 2 (binary) which is now is used in present day Computer as in Binary provides the basic for Computer computation. Chinese Name Analysis is another direct example of the clever use of Numerology to express the Name in relation to the Five Element. Flying Star Analysis is another example of Numerology to relate to the Five Element. Eight House Gua Number is again another Numerology related concept so as to match the number to one of the Eight Trigrams which also relates to the Element of the Trigram. Ba Zi is the 2nd most complex Numerology compared to the I-Ching. But again it is related to the Number concept. Shapes and Form's Tortise concept where in that special arrangement whether you add the number horizontally, vertically etc, you will get a total of 15. So I must say that all Feng Shui concept in one way or another is based on Numerology. 3. So does it mean that if anyone can use Modern mathematics formula to calculate any one of the above theories, that Chinese Feng Shui Theory is thus considered a Western Numerology? Mathematics can be used by anyone to find a logical pattern or a formula to derive a common repeating pattern. Frankly, in the past, there wasn't such comprehensive Mathematic forumla. In fact, all the Feng Shui practitioner uses is the Bagua. The Bagua is arranged in such a unique way that, you do not need to do any calcuations, but rather by rotating the rings in the correct order and all the necessary information such as I-Ching, Flying Star, Eight House, Ba Zi, Heaven-Earth-Human luck and lots more are revealed by looking at the inter-relationship of the various rings on the bagua compass. So in the past, there wasn't any such so call formula that existed. So why are there now such calculation methods appearing? As mentioned, if you are good in Mathematics, you will be able to deduce a logical formula out of a series of repeating patterns. Thus, coming out with the Formula. Having such formulas help in performing quick mental calculations without referring to the Bagua. So does this means that because of such an alternative formula solution, that the Ba Zi, Flying Star, Xuan Kong are now considered "WESTERN NUMEROLOGY"? Sorry, the West is not the only one who has Numerology, the Chinese also have their own Chinese Numerology. And it is widely seen in all the various Feng Shui concepts available. I am sad to say, those who DO NOT understand how Feng Shui works and/or how each theories are related to each other, or how each calendar system is treated in Feng Shui. They will probably question it. 4. This website, has from day one when the website is published on the Internet in 1995/6 been putting up concepts which has been easy to use and even came up with various computerised versions of the concepts all to allow anyone to apply Feng Shui easily. 5. Why has our website been able to so effectively apply Feng Shui concepts to the real world? Simply because we do not just apply one theory only. (ie like only the flying star house analysis). We apply a combination of concepts so as to be able to get the most comprehensive analysis on any particular situations. However, I am sad to say that there are many who practises Feng Shui around with world who practise only one form of theories only. And/or there are people who condemns one form of theory saying that it isn't true classic feng shui. Frankly, practising Feng Shui using only certain concept is bad and dangerous. This is because each concept has a specific use. Not knowing the results of another theory will not result in being able to provide a comprehensive understanding of any situation. Thus, not being able to find the faults so as to be able to correct the problem and improve the luck.

Eight Aspiration is based on the Bagua static layout of the Eight Trigram. This is thus a static model which does not personalise to a single person. Eight House / Eight Trigram is the very basic concept which expands upon the Bagua, that tries to personalise a person into the calculation. Given that there are Eight Directions and each direction is often related to a compass direction. It was thus derived to be called the Compass School. This theory uses numerology to try to fit a person based on his Year of Birth which will thus arrange the Eight Trigram in such a way that you can see 4 good and 4 bad direction. The Eight Trigam is a basic foundation for the Advanced Compass School called the Flying Star (Xuan Kong Feng Shui). As it further divides the each of the direction into 3 sub-sectors. Thus, the 8 directions later becomes 24 mountain directions. It also provides the basic foundation of how the initial Flying Star formation is layout. And thus a way for the Flying Star to fly in a unique formation. This Same Eight Trigam when arranged in different way produces different types of Bagua formation. So fundamentally, it is a very simplified form of this very easy to apply Eight House Theory. However, despite it's ease of use and very simplified model, it is still very useful in determining how suitable a direction is to a person. But it is less accurate then a later concept called the Ba Zi Feng Shui 24 directions. Weakness of this Theory This theory only bases on the Year of Birth so it's accurately is limited. But it is good enough to allow it to be used as a general 4 good and 4 bad directions. Thus, determining a portion of the suitability of the Earth Luck to a person.

Eight House (Ba Zhai Yun) and Flying Star (Xuan Kong Feng Shui) are two of the compass schools. The compass school is one of the two major component for evaluation a home. In order to effectively evaluate your Home Luck you need to refer to:- 1. Shapes and Forms The surrounding of the building and the surrounding of the interior 2. Compass Schools 2a. Eight House / Eight Trigram is used as a way to personalise a person based solely on the Year of Birth to the environment. Thus, it's sole purpose if any is to provide you with some understanding as to which of the 4 directions are favourable for you and which are unfavourable for you. Thus, we have Eight Directions just as in the compass direction. Each of the Trigram direction is related to the Flying Star 3 sector sub-division of the Trigram. There is a total of 8 Trigram while Flying Star has 24 direction or 24 mountain direction. 2b. Flying Star (Xuan Kong) is used as a way to calculate the Earth luck influences and changes through the movement of the Water and Mountain Star. This allows a practitioner who cannot feel or see the Qi properly, to use such tools to calculate exactly how the influence shifts at any one time. Thus, this theory can calculate the movement for every 20-year, yearly, monthly, daily and even every chinese hour. And hence was called the Time Dimension School. As it is the only theory capable of such a task. This theory expands upon the weakness of the Eight House by allowing each 24 different sectors to more accurate determine the influence of the house. This 24 mountain is derived from the Eight House direction. 3. Ba Zi Feng Shui There is also another school which is called the Ba Zi Feng shui. This uses your Ba Zi to accurately determine the date and time of birth, and then allowing you to relate your environment with the same 24 mountain as the Flying Star. Thus, it is often used together with the Flying Star, and thus called Ba Zi Feng Shui. Ba Zi Feng Shui allows a person to personalised his or her heavenly luck to the earth luck. Thus allowing you not only to see how the house luck is but also whether or not how suitable is the house to you. It also so happens that it is based on 24 direction thus you can more accurately use the combinations and clashes to determine which of the 24 different directions. 4. Each theory has its uses and weakness 4a. Eight House is for suitable direction (at least it is much better than using the static Eight Aspiration which is fixed for all person). However, despite it's simplicity, just 8 different variations, allows a person to tell whether a house generally suit them or not. From our many years of experience, those who often have a house based on their death or disaster, often faces problems. So it is a quick yet effective solution for determining such influence. 4b. Flying Star is suitable for charting out the Birth chart of a Home. Just like how Ba Zi chart out your own Birth Chart. This gives you a feel of how your house luck is at any particular time. NOTE: A house with excellent Xuan Kong Feng Shui does not necessary mean it will be suitable to you. Thus, a house which is good for one person may not benefit another if he does not suit the house. 4c. Ba Zi Feng Shui is the way to personalised the environment to your Heaven Luck. Understanding things like what colours are good or bad for you, will allow you to choose the colour scheme of the your Home decoration so as to improve your Earth Luck. ............................................................ So each theory has it's uses and limitations. Feng Shui is not Mircle cure, but rather to improve the overall luck of a person and his environment so that he or she will be able to feel comfortable in his environment. So the way to attain success with Feng Shui is:- 1. Identify all major Feng Shui leaks in your life or home. Fix whatever you can to minimise the impact. 2. Improve luck in all areas so boost up your overall Heaven Luck, Earth Luck and Human Luck. 3. Work hard to meet your goals (ie don't just depend on Feng Shui, but you have to work in order to be able to reap the rewards)

Hi Low Low, Generally, people always wants if possible to select auspicious dates whether it be for moving into the home, opening the door, opening a business etc. So generally, auspicious dates can be used in any of the areas. So long as you think it is an important event and need a date to do so. The Auspicious Dates analysis report is meant to do that. It does a detailed comparison based on each person's ba zi. As no one single person has the same luck. Then next is to check on the Tong Shu Dates to ensure like for example no one likes to move in during say the Qing Ming month etc. In your question, moving in is usually defined as selecting a date which you officially move in (whether or not your furniture is shifted in or not). It is a date to mark that you have officially move it. Often, this is to bring in certain key essentials like the Stove, Rice, Salt etc. The actual moving in of the furniture or staying need not necessary require a good date, although most Singaporeans especially would want to ensure that everything is done properly so they will often try to choose a date which is auspicious as well. So the Auspicious Dates report does exactly that, especially to find the best dates for the Breadwinner and the Spouse. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, You need to have more Wood (green/brown) in your clothing on a personal level. And/or to create a triple combination flow ie:- Metal (white/gold) -> Water (blue/black/gray) -> Wood (green/brown) Once in a harmonious flow of combination, it does not matter if the decor is more blue, as the water will be converted to Wood, and the Wood is neutralised by Metal. Thus, the elements become in harmony with each other as opposed to having too much of a certain element. Thus, in Feng Shui, it is important to note that it is more important to have a balance of 20% of each element. However, that is sometimes too difficult to achieve that. Thus, we apply feng shui based on the what elements you favour most and what you lacks. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Low Low, The problem here is Ba Zi analysis can be done on a basic level or on a comprehensive level. In order to determine whether you are weak or strong many analysis has to be done. 1. Computing the number of elements broken down into the five element. 2. Assigning proper weightage to the element based on the Seasons of Birth. 3. Determining if there are any elements which combines and clashes to form certain elements. 4. Checking the House of Life and House of Conception influences on the five element distributions etc. 5. And a few more rulesets. Only when you work out all these, can you determine properly whether an element is weak or strong. Take this for example (not your chart but an example chart only) Element Strength Percentage % Rating Recommendation 9 Water Strong 87 % Reduce Element Have A LOT less of your Most Unfavourable Element 1 Wood Extremely Weak 2 % Increase Element Have A LOT more of your Favourable Wealth Element 2 Fire Weakest 9 % Acceptable (Increase Element) Have more of your Favourable Element 0 Earth Weak 0 % Increase Element Have A LOT more of your Unfavourable Element 0 Metal Strongest 0 % Increase Element Have A LOT more of your Unfavourable Wealth Element Until you have work out a chart similiar to this Overall Summary in the Paid Ba Zi report, you will not know why you are a weak or strong. Generally, even if your birth element is weak, but if you have too much of it and supporting element compared to the unfavourable element, your chart will still be strong. So I am personally not surprised to see a person born in the weak season to be finally determined as a Strong person. Basically the seasons of birth is only one aspect of the entire analysis.

Hi Anon, Yes, however, Gua is the proper Chinese (rather than Kua which is based on Cantonese Dialect, just like Qi = C'hi) So how can Gua 9 numbers be equal to represent 8 Trigrams? There is no way so that is why the Gua Number itself does not yet equal to the 8 Trigram. Especially not the Gua number 5. Thus, the number 5 is often converted to represent one of the other two Trigram depending on Male or Female. Since the Eight Trigram is used or part of the Compass School (ie quite related to the Flying Stars) except that the center sector is empty. Thus, We relate the Trigam exactly as how it would link to the Flying Star. Eight House and Flying Star are part of the Compass School, thus it is more appropriate to allow both theories to be associated to each other. Thus, when we number them we number them as it should related to the Flying Star where there are 9 grids and only 5 (Center) is missing. In fact, this is not much different as to the Gua Number, as it does the same by assigning Gua 5 to another Trigam number. It is found in the Members Area (Under the Personal Self) URL: http://login.geomancy.net As mentioned, Gua Number and Gua Type is different. Your Gua Number maybe number 5, but that does not mean that it is a special 9th Gua Trigram. In fact, you still have to associate it to the proper Trigram.

Ba Zi is the best in determining what element you belong to ie a weak wood, strong fire etc. This is because Ba Zi takes into consideration not only the Day, Month, Year, it also considers the Hour of birth. Thus, it is able to determine quite accurately what element you belong to. It uses a series of Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branches, thus being able to give you very comprehensive understanding of your Heaven Luck. Each Year, there is a different element. A very basic Element is always to take the element of your Year Heavenly Stem as the Element. So it is no wonder why some people is told that they are Wood, and when they use our free Ba Zi element analysis, it determines them to be a Fire element for example. In fact, even in the year of Wood, there is a weak water person born in the Wood year, a Strong earth person born the Wood year. So taking the Year of birth itself isn't the most accurate way to determine your element. Thus, the Ba Zi is the best way as it considers all these information and then determine it based on the day of birth.

A house must be suitable to the breadwinner of the family (the one earning most for the family). ie. Say if the Main Door of the house is East, and East for the Breadwinner is Excellent, then this house is suitable for the breadwinner. Thus, you will be able to gain a significant earth luck from staying in a suitable house. ie. Say if the Main Door of the house is East, and East for the Breadwinner is Death, then this house is most unsuitable for the breadwinner. If you continue to stay in the house, you will face lots of problems in your career etc. Use the Free Eight House Report to determine your Eight House:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-8h.htm

1. The most common leak in a home is the toilet locating close to the center influence of the home. 2. If the toilet is located on top or beside of the main entrance of the home. 3. When there is a straight path where the Qi will enter from the main door and exit directly out of the house. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-breath.htm 4. Missing Corners in the Homes (ie not a full square house) URL: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-building.htm When looking for a house, you should always try to avoid a house with any of the above 4 common leaks. With such leaks in the home, often your earth luck will be tremendously reduced.

No matter how good your heaven luck maybe, if you stay in a inauspicious house, you will be greatly influenced by the house. ie. a person who has excellent Feng Shui during the age of 30-50. But during his time, he moved into a new home. However, when checked with the Flying Star (Xuan Kong) Feng Shui, the house shows of a one with extremely bad feng shui. Thus, this person will not enjoy his favourable luck as defined in his Heaven Luck, but rather he will encounter series of problems such as Illness, Career problems etc. ie. a person who is not enjoying a good feng shui during the age of 30-50. But during this period, he is staying in an house with very good wealth collection. He will be able to compensate his inauspicious wealth from the Luck of the House. Thus, he will do much better than in the 1st example. Thus, choosing a good house is always very important. It is always important to note that for a house, besides having a good Xuan Kong Feng Shui and external shapes and form influence. A house should also be a suitable house to the person based on his Eight House directions (ie. Excellent direction for main door). It is no point for a person to stay in a very good feng shui house but the house does not suit that person. He will not be able to maximise his luck collection with such a combination.

Dear Anon, However, the Gua Number 5 and 0 often have to be related to another one of the Eight Trigrams depending on Male or Female. Thus, if you use the Ba Zi report, you will find the actual Gua type being shown. If you want to know about the Gua Number, use the Gua Number report in the Members Area. That will identify your Gua Number as 5 which means your luck number is also related to 5. We have our reasons here for doing and numbering the Kua Type as 1 to 9 where 5 is missing, instead of 1 to 8. Please note here that our online reports system has been already online for 5 years. It is a system which has been extensive tested and used by us personally. It uses a different system compared to the forum. So a bug in the forum DOES NOT affect the Reports website. In fact our whole website is fully modular, meaning that a failure in any one section of the website does not affect the other. There was a bug in the FORUM, simply because the NEW forum interface you are using is COMPLETELY written by me from scratch (last week) instead of using the original one. So when we launched it several days back, there was a few intergration problem, thus resulting some initial difficulties for users to properly login as their own user account, instead of a Guest user. However, as you can know by now the forum is working perfectly with many of the interface cleaned up. The new FORUM gives you more space since no frame is used. And it is more informative, much easier and contains many cool features in addition to the old frame version. Plus, it allows us to customise the forum even more than the original one.

Never buy a house with a toilet located at the center influence of the home. The center of the house is where all the flux of energy comes together. And if the toilet is located at the center of the home. Your wealth will leak out of the home. This will result in the family facing financial difficulties.

In order to analyse whether a name is good or nor, you will need to often use the strokes of the name combination. Usually, it is best to use the Traditional Form of the Name. From there, usually a calculation is done and you will be able to break down the Tian-Di-Ren Ge (Heaven-Earth-Human factors in the name). There are usually 5 factors. They usually can be either Auspicious or Inauspicious. The better names usually have 4/5 or 5/5 auspicious Tian-Di-Ren Ge.

In order to determine the best names, there are 3 areas to look at:- a. Suitability of the Name to the Ba Zi b. The Sounding of the Name c. The meaning of the Name It is ideal to have a name which fulfill all the above three areas. So often, we use the strokes of each chinese character to find the combinations of strokes which produces the best dates. ie. 12-13-4 where Surname 12, Middle Name is 13 and Last Name is 4. Usually such a combination will produce different breakdown of Tian-Di-Ren Ge (or Heaven-Earth-Human Luck). Different Five Element breakdown and different Name Luck Periods. From these various areas, one will be able to see if a name is good or not.

A person's Name is often the name which is most called. Thus, is often said to be the most important thing for a person. Thus, choosing a Chinese Name is one of the best way to correct try to increase whatever you lack in your Heaven Luck Ba Zi. Thus, most people when born often likes to choose a good chinese name for the baby. A good and suitable name will often compensate a person's Ba Zi Heaven Luck so that that person can continously have elements he or she lacks at any one time.
