Dear R G,

Can anyone please tell me whether I am a weak earth or a strong earth? I am very confused because some feng shui consultants tell me that I am weak however some would say I am strong. Can anyone please let me know whether I am a weak or strong earth and what are my favorable and unfavorable elements as well as my favorable careers? Please let me know. Thanks. birthday: September 12, 1986 / 2:56 a.m female born on GuamFrankly, whether you are treated as weak or strong depends on how accurately the ba zi chart is analysed to give you a breakdown of your five element.
If you already used our free ba zi element, you will know that you are a Strong Earth. And thus, your true element is a Strong Earth. And a portion of the paid report will show you why you are a Strong Earth:-
Element Strength Percentage 0 Water Strong 
0 % 3 Wood Extremely Weak 
8 % 2 Fire Weakest 
11 % 6 Earth Weak 
66 % 1 Metal Strongest 
13 % Your favourable elements that make you strong are Earth 66% + Fire 11% = 77% Favourable elements.
Your unfavourable elements that make youweak are Water 0% + Wood 8% = 8% Unfavourable elements.
Your Favourable elements 77%
QuoteYour unfavourable elements 8%Therefore, you are a Strong Earth. How can you be a weak Earth if your favourable eleements outweights your unfavourable percentage by almost 7:1. Making you an extremely strong Earth person. Stronger than most other Strong Earth chart.
Ba zi analysis has many factors to consider, such as the combinations/clashes, seasonal strength, the changes between your 4 main pillars, including the house of conception and house of life will also have an impact to the accurate breakdown of your chart.
Only when you consider all these factors, then you will be able to understand why your element is determined weak or strong. Many ba zi analysis we have seen does very basic and fundamental analysis, as such it does not really do aproperly breakdown your elements. As such, may not properly assessed your element as weak or strong. And this will impact how you accurately you can assess your luck pillars later on.
Frankly, though our free report does not show you the details, the result will be exactly the same as the full report. Just that it does not show you the details behind the breakdown.

As I'm very new to Bazi, could I trouble you to enlighten me with an idea as to how your online report has ascertained I'm a Strong Yang Fire? I was born on 24 Oct 1985 between 12 am to 1 am.Frankly, even though the free report does not show you the details, our ba zi analysis considers a lots of factors before it assigns a weak or strong status. This information is exacted from a portion of the paid ba zi report for your date of birth:-
Element Strength Percentage 0 Water Extremely Weak 0 % 2 Wood Weakest 8 % 4 Fire Weak 26 % 5 Earth Strongest 55 % 1 Metal Strong 8 % You are a Fire element person.Whether you are a weak or strong depends on whether the element favourable to you strongis greater or weaker than the unfavourable elements that make you weak.
Your favourable elements (Wood 8% + Fire 26% = 34%)
Your unfavourable elements (Metal 8% + Water 0% = 8%)
Earth will help and also weaken your elements so it cancel itself out in the balancing of the five element. As it is both a favourable and unfavourable elment.
Your favourable elements 34%
QuoteYour unfavourable elements 8%Therefore, you are a Strong Fire. Though, not a really very strong Fire compared to other even Strong Fire person chart. But enough to to be considered Strong as your favourable outweight your unfavourable.

Does it have anything to do with my birth timing?Many analysis only considers the basic factors and may not properly determine the true element breakdown properlyin detail.
Frankly, you have to consider a lot of factors, the five elements in all the 4 pillars including the house of conception, house of life. The changes in elements between the pillars, seasonal strengths, combination and clashesetc. Our report considers all these factors to determine your true element as accurately as possible. As this will determine how your chart will be read in the future.
For example, with the five element percentage, you will know accurately which is the most favourable element you need. That is Water/Metal. Earth is also your favourable but you already have 55% so won't benefit from having more. Also, though your unfavourable element is Fire/Wood. Wood percentage is 8%, which means a little more wood when you have sufficient of your favourable (water/metal) will overall be good to bring your chart in perfect harmony (ie 20% of each of the five element).
Although our free report does not give you the details of the breakdown or the full chart, the final resulting element won't differ from the full report. Just that you will not be able to see the details behind the assessment of the element, nor the full detailed ba zi chart and changes happening between the pillars.

Hi,
Actually, I had previously replied to a similiar question about the Follow the Leader or special type chart.
URL: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=2&mid=20335&new=
If you use our website's ba zi analysis, you won't need to worry too much about all this kind of special chart. As we already considered them when we broke the five element into your favourable and by five element percentage value.
Those special chart are nothing more than an extremely unbalanced chart which requires you to increase more of the element you lack and reduce the elements you have too much more. Which is basically the five element percentage portion of the ba zi analysis that our website uses.
For example, a Strong Wood by default usually means :-
Fire/Earth/Metal are your favourable.Assuming you know the percentage such as 10% Fire/ 35% Earth / 0% Metal. You will know that even though Earth is your favourable but as you already have 35% which is 15% over normal 20%, you won't benefit from having more. In fact, Metal which you have 0% would ideally be the element you like to have more.
While Water/Wood are your unfavourable. Assuming again you know the percentage 50% Water / 5% Wood for example. This means you a Strong Wood because of too much Water rather than Wood. While Wood is generally still lacking. So this means that you want to avoid Water but some Wood is good for you when you have sufficient of your favourable elements (Fire/Earth/Metal) first.
So really if you understood the how those special charts generally comes from, it is really nothing special if you had applied the ba zi favourable elements with the five element percentage to breakdown what exactly you really need.
Warmest Regards

Dear Steven,
Steve S. wrote:
I help my friend generated a report and saw that his life is bad, from luck against him and wealth against him... but he is prosperous and living a carefree life. I don't understand. Can you explain?Firstly, you need to understand two things here:-
1) Free report only shows you a person's big luck. There can only be 3 conclusion from this info. Basically, whether you are a person that:-
a)enjoy life earlier than suffer later.
b) suffer first than enjoy life later.
c)mix, whereby there will be atleast a 30-year rangein the middle of your life where luck is with you oragainst you.
Soit does not really mean that a person with luck against him or luck with him willbe his actual luck forecast. This is because, even within the different big luck, there are 5-yearly luck/yearly luck/6-montly luck which changes every few years so luck is always changing.
This means that even for a 10-yearly luck that is bad, there is varying degree of good or bad depending on how the 5-yearly/yearly/6-montly luck interact with it. Also, whether or not you enjoy that luck, depends on how balance your five element luck is. The more balance the luck, the better that luck period.
2) In any case, ba zionly helps toreveal the type of luck a person is suppose to be born with, when luck is with you, when are the good and bad years to take not off. It is not a forecast of what you will exactly encounter. Why?
A person has 3 forms of luck all together:-
a) Heaven Luck - Luck that you are born with
b) Earth Luck - Luck from your home and surrounding environment
c) Human Luck - Luck from your relationship with others and your own hard work.
A person with good or bad ba zi luck, does not mean that he or she will actually have a good or bad luck. It will only be good or bad if the Earth and Human Luck also supports it.
For example, the best way to explain this is the ba zi of a twin born on the same day and time of birth. One stays in a war torn country (his Earth Luck will be adversely affected), so his luck will be significantly reduced. While another stays in a peaceful country, so his luck will be significantly improved. Thus, although both may appear to have the same chart, their luck encountered will be ultimately different.
Even if both stays in the same country, but one works hard and another one is lazy. This human luck factor also affects the outcome of the actual luck he or she will enjoy.
Even if Earth and Human luck is similiar, but say one ventures more into his favourable career or elements, another chooses to go into career that is unfavourable, their luck will again be different.
So what this shows is that the ba zi only attempts to reveal the luck a person is born with. With that info, you know what elements is favourable/unfavourable for you, when are the good and bad times. As long as you try to have more favourable elements and avoid the unfavourable elements, even if the period is bad for you, you will reduce the impact of that bad period.
So once you understand this, you will know that the ba zi only shows you what luck you will have assuming everything else is not adversely affecting it. But in reality, there are Earth and Human luck factors that isn't considered in the ba zi. So that will eventually change the reality luck that you actually encounter.
That is why the ba zi IS NOT a forecast of luck you actually encounter. But rather it is a luck forecast of what luck you are suppose to have. Whether or not you will follow that luck depends on whether you have enough favourable elements to help balance up your luck, and whether your earth and human luck is adversely impacting you.
Hope that helps.

Dear Anon,
Actually, our free report will already give you that answer. Given the date of birth Male, 28 Jan 1964, Pig hour. You will be a Strong Fire.
Element Strength Percentage 4 Water Extremely Weak 12 % 2 Wood Weakest 12 % 3 Fire Weak 28 % 3 Earth Strongest 46 % 0 Metal Strong 0 % This is because your five element percentage after calculating all the combinations and clashes will be as shown above.
To determine if you are weak or strong, this will depends finally on whether favourable elements that make you strong is greater or lesser than unfavourable elements that make your weak.
As a Fire element person, favourable element is Wood (12%)+Fire (28%) which makes up 40%. Your unfavourable elements that make your fire weak is Metal (0%) and Water (12%) which makes up 12%. Earth element can both weaken your favourable element and strengthen your unfavourable element. So it cancel itself out in the equation.
Given favourable element (40%)
Quoteunfavourable element (12%), so that is why our website determines you as a Strong Fire. Which is actually what our free report will analyse you as.Warmest Regards

My question is : If I want to obtain a bazi element report for my son, do I use the monkey hour or the dog hour as his hour of birth (since he was born last Saturday 23rd Aug 2008 at 4.58pm British Summer Time GMT +1 )???Our stand for all time zone related is to use the local time of birth. This is because to factor in location, the only true way is to input the long. and lat. of birth. But that adds further degree of error and not everyone will record this information, so not practical to be used.
So you should use the hour as in the hour when your son is born. So for example if he is born is the British Summer Time, then use that time as his hour. If he is born in the winter months, then use the winter months hour which is GMT +0.
So since he is born in the British Summer Time, then just use that as the hour of birth without any further modification.
Hope that helps.

I have learnt from a bazi book that my chart contains a punishment combination of Sheep, Dog and Ox. Why is this combination a punishment? Will it be very negative in my four pillar luck cycle?
Frankly there are different types ofconflicts between differentearthly branchcombinations.There are 4 different conflictsclash / harm / punishmentandself punishment. Each will occur depending what is present. Of which Clash is the worst, followed by Harm, then Punishment and Self Punishment.
Often it is between two different signs. In your chart there is the chou wei (Ox-Ram)andshu-chou (Dog-Ox). These signs if found in your chart will indicate punishment.
Any form of clash/harm/punishment and self punishment occuring in your ba zi chart, will of course not be a good sign. It's impact normally is related to the pillars that is present. For example, if the this sign occur between your Day and Year pillar. It may represent conflict present between your Self & Spouse (Day)or GrandParents (Year). Or you may face difficult Middle Age (Day) or difficult Childhood (Year). All depends on what context you are refering to. Often you will need a detailed analysis to understand how it will impact your chart.
Anonymous wrote:
Furthermore, is my Sheep and Ox a genuine clash since I have the Dog starin between?Chou-Wei (Ox-Ram) also is a Clash, so the Clash will often take priority over the Punishment impact. But where two occur together it won't be good as the Punishment is also has some impact. But again it depends on the content. If this clash is analysed on to your luck pillar, then it will mean a very difficult year for you. But it is present in your ba zi chart and you are referring to your relationship pillar, then it has to do with relationship issue. If it is refer to your stage of life, then it's impact will deal with your stage of life issue.
In either case, you will probably need an indepth analysis to explain what this will eventually impact. As a ba zi is ultimately pretty complicated, in that there are many things it can relate to.
Hope that helps.

Dear Johnny,
Firstly, in your ba zi there are 4 degree of conflict.
1) Clash - is the worst as it denotes 100% incompatibility between the two signs.
2) Harm - is the next bad conflict as it denotes that your signs creates friction but not really as bad as Clash.
3) Punishment - is where your signs itself usually contains an element that conficts the other sign. It is an indirect conflict, so has less impact.
4) Self Punishment - is where your sign'shidden elementconflicts with itself.
How the clash/harm etc affects your sign depends on what you are relating the clash/harm and where it happens.
For example, a clash occuring between your ba zi chart and that year denotes conflict between the year for you. So things not likely to go smoothly for you.
For example, if you relate the clash to the relationaship, then a clash may denote conflicts or incompatibility.
Quote:
1. May I know if this means that my spouse and close family will have problem?Whether or not that will have impact, it is best you have someone review it to explain it to you. As without all the details, I have actually no idea what your chart looks like as such not able to tell you if the self-punishment is good or not.
In general, Day pillar represents self and spouse, while month pillar represents parents. So if you are looking at the relationship analysis, yes, the self-punishment may denote some slight incompatibilty. But again depends on whether the pillar favours you or not. For that, best you get someone to review it to confirm it.
Quote:
2. As ?? is metal and is unfavourable to me. Does this self punishment cancel out the metal? Or does this self punishment on unfavourable element actually good to me? Or Self punishment simply is no good no matter what?In general, the self punishment does not cancel out your original element. As previously mentined, this clash/harm/punishment/self-punishment only comes into effect when you relate it to what you want to review. By itself, it does not mean anything in particular.
Anyway, self-punishment is only just like imagine you want to do something but things does not go as you plan. Basically that is it. Often, it is not big enough to cause too much major problems, just minor things that will cause some delays or slowdown.
Hope that helps.

GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui ResearchUPRADING COMPLETED - 20 May2008 (Tuesday)
Dear Users,
As of 20 May 2008 (Tuesday), we have completed our upgrading all our servers to the new servers. There was no downtime during the uprading, as it was seemlessly transferred. So far as of 22 May 2008 (Thursday), everything seems to be working fine. We had also been fine tuning and tweaking the performance of the servers.
Here are some of the notable improvements:-
- Website with dynamic database contents should will now load significantly faster (ie forum page generation time has improved at least 5 times due to memory caching, http caching and latest CGI caching).
- Report generation server also should see complex reports generated 2 times faster. Reducing the most complex report to half the time required.
- Servers are at located at two different datacenter. Even if a datacenter can promise 100% uptime, from time to time, network issues may still occur. So having servers at different sites, reduces the chances of a single point of failure at any one time by any one single datacenter.
- Given we have setup two servers with the ability for one server to run entire site, we are able to ensure that should one server be taken offline (for whatever reasons), the other server will be able to continue to keep the website up and running. So DNS failover setup was enabled for key sites and mail servers.
- Data backup has always been our top priority, so all servers we had been using is always setup with RAID 1 Hardware mirroring (ie two harddisk mirroring the same data.) This will prevent again a single harddisk failure. In addition, we also have offsite, and NAS backup, realtime backup to the other RAID 1 server. So data will always be kept current. And/or we will be able to restore a few days older data in an event of a data corruption.
- We now have separate Hardware Firewall at each server rather than a shared firewall. This makes upgrading individual servers easy in the future without having to upgrade both. Also, this eliminate again a single point failure due to Firewall. Hardware firewall is still better than any software firewall. So we do want to compromise security.
- We took this opportunity to make sure all the software are patched to the latest version. By upgrading our server almost every year, we not only refresh new hardware, it allow us to update our software keeping everything fresh.
So far everything is up and running properly. Should you encounter any problems, feel free to contact me at support@geomancy.net.
Warmest Regards

GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui ResearchPRE-UPGRADING NOTICE
Dear Users,
Thank you very much for your continued support. Our website has experienced tremendous growth over the years.
We are thus upgrading our servers to ensure that there will be sufficient capacity and processing power to allow users to be able to enjoy a faster website.
Our Dual Operton Servers (one of the better technology at that time) had served us very well. However, itisnow outdated compared to what's available, so it is time to upgrade tothelatesttechnology:-
- Dual Processor Quad Core Harpertown 2.66Ghz (8 x CPUs)
- Dual Processor Quad Core Clovertown 2.0Ghz (8 x CPUs)These servers effectively more than double/triple the overall processing power, memory,storage capacity, latest firewalland server bandwidthcompared to the existing server setup.
To further improve ournetwork redundancy, we opted for two separate datacenter this time round. This is toprovide furthernetwork redundancyfrom a single-point failure in case one datacenter is down. This will be an improvement over the previous setup as both servers werefrom the same datacenter.
Main websiteshas Failover DNS to ensure that should one server be down, the backup server will be on activated to keep the website up and runing.
The servers are in the final stages of testing before we offically deploy them before the end of the month.
We do not foresee any major disruption or downtime as we will seemlessly transfer the server from the old server to the new server.
Only slight inconvience could be some duplicate mails received by users during the migration period as new server may re-process some of the old mail in server queue. Otherwise, everything should be rather seemless.
Thank you for your continued support!

Dear Annie,
Quote:Given in tung shu, src='http://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_surprised.gif' width=15
height=15 border=0>ffice:smarttags" />26th May 2008 is a good day for moving in but that day clashes with Zodiac Monkey and the 2nd person horoscope is a Monkey.Quote:But
29th May 2008 , tung shu never state is a good or bad day for moving in and that day doesn?t clashes with any of our horoscope.You must always remember that Tung Shu is a general forecast of the dates assuming that the dates are generally good for everyone on this planet. It also does not personalised to any individual.So if you are just looking for a good date but do not bother who is is for. Then this is perfectly fine.
However, in reality, some dates will clash with some individual, some dates will harm with the person etc. So that is why on a good date in the tung shu won't really mean that everyone will enjoy a good that.
So even if the tung shu says it is a good date, but it clashes with person then how good can that date actually be? In fact, a date that is average in the tung shu but is suitable or does not clash with the person is often a better solution.
So as per our website, if you use our personalised auspicious date server. Then you should not refer to the Tung Shu anymore. As our dates will superceed the normal tung shu.
So that is why 29 Mayis deemed a better date than 26 May.And these dates is only suitable for the person you look up. For another person, the same dates may not be the best. But for you 29 May would be the better dates.
Hope that helps.

Does this also apply with business facing direction? Why not Wood (East) facing direction as in my Best Working position in the Reference Material? My Best Working Position are 1. East 2. South.Generally, the executive summary tries to make sense of how the five element percentage changes each luck period. The goal is always to try to ensure you have exactly 20% of each of the five element to attain perfect harmony.
So depending on what is your birth element, there are a few elements that will bring you luck. That was just an example of one of the things that could bring you luck. It usually try to shows the most important element. That is all.
If say you are a weak wood, then water/wood elements and if the percentage is very lacking both elements directions will be good for you.
So if wood is also your favourable element, then that is also another posibility. Like mentioned, the proposed direction or is just to guide you a guide or example.
Given both wood and fire are both 0% then both are generally still favourable. Where in doubt, always use your original five element as a guide. As your original element denotes generally what you lack, while each 10-yearly summary only is good for that 10-year period. After which it will change again the next luck period. So you should only use it to fine tune what you lack.
Anonymous wrote:
Is Wood (East) ok also on the house or business facing direction? According to percentage above Wood is 0% also. Which is best, Fire or Wood?Given that Water/ Fire / Wood are your favourable elements. So you should be a Strong Metal person if I am not wrong.
As a Strong Metal, you generally strong because you have either too much earth/metal. Thus either water/fire/wood would generally be good for you. How good each will depend on the five element percentage in your chart.
If without your five element percentage, as long as you add water/fire/wood all should benefit you. However, if wood percentage is greater than 20% then, probably it won't bring you too much of a benefit compared to tlement that you have very little. So whichever of the five element you have least is your favourable.
Anonymous wrote:

However, the one you lack most in your default ba zi percentage should still be the most important factor. As that is based on what you generally lack for your rest of your life.

Probably why water is not showing is probably because the percentage is more than sufficient. So no point having more.

And if I have a business based on Fire element, what is the best facing direction for the building? South (Fire), my wealth sector (Prosperity)or East (Wood), the most favourable element?Actually, you can have your business as whatever element it is. It will just boost your favourable element.
The direction of the place should not be based on what is your business element. But rather on the feng shui luck of the place based on the flying star chart and whether it is suitable to your eight house, followed by ba zi.
The reason is because eight house even though it is only based on your YEAR of birth, has proven time and time to be useful. From our experience, those staying in house/office that is facing their death or disaster tends to have lots of problems. So this is ultimately more important than ba zi simply because you cannot correct it.
At least for your ba zi, even if the house element isn't the most favourable, you can still enhance your ba zi from colours of the office, shapes/colours/career. So there are many areas to improve this suitability. Thus, it is a correctable problem.
That is why it is more important to choose a suitable house based on your eight house (Prosperity sector or any of the 4 good sectors), followed by the best posible flying star house/office luck so that you can get the best luck from the house.
For example, North-East/South-West for a West group person with the house/office in Period 8 is the best. While South/East facing for a East group person with the house/offfice in Period 8 is the best.
Normally, we go by the above.
Hope that helps.

Hi guys, I bought the standard bundle and I tried the PAID: House Hunting: Most Suitable & Auspicious House Facing Report. But the report is based on period 7 (1984 - 2003) while now we're in period 8. Are the differences between the periods significant? How do I view this in period 8 format? I look forward to any comments/answers. Thank you!Firstly, you need to know that the report will generate the best house direction depending on the house profile you created under. This means if you create a period 7 house profile, then it will generate a report that is period 7. If you create a profile under period 8, then it will generate a report that is for period 8.
Your best house direction can be different depending on whether you are looking for a new house (houses built after 2004) or houses built in period 7 (1984-2003) or even houses built in earlier period such as period 6.
So that is why this report does not default to Period 8. In fact, it will default to which house period you are looking for. Which may have different direction that will be considered best depending on the flying star direction and suitability.
If you had wrongly, created a period 7 profile, then let me know.
PS: For paid report service, it is better to e-mail us directly at support@geomancy.net.
Hope that helps.

Dear Cindy,
Auspicious Date considers 3 factors:-
1. The Tung Shu impications of the Year vs Day. (such as clashes between the year and day or even a broken day). Such days are often inauspicious irregardless of whether you are suitable to the day or not.
2. Whether the day clashes with your ba zi or not. Major clashes are deemed as very inauspicious and Minor clashes are not so bad.
3. Last would be whether the element of the is suitable to your ba zi or not.
What you have only looked at was only point 2 and 3. 17 Feb 2008 is bad because it is deemed a broken day due to the self-punishment. So that is why the day is bad.
In an auspicious day analysis, the key tung shu influence are equally imporant or more important then whether or not the day fits you.
An auspicious day is different from an favourable day in your ba zi. So even if the day is suitable for yourdaughter, it just isn't a good day under the Tung Shu. It has nothing to do with whether or not the day is suitable to your daughter.
You use the auspicious dates report to find which day is good or bad for an important event. While you use your ba zi favourable day to determine which day has best luck for you.
A day that has the best luck for you in your ba zi, need not necesary mean it is a good day for certain events. That is why when looking at events (ie move in date, weddings or key events), you refer to the auspicious dates.
Whereas, if you just want to know which day is best luck for you, then you refer to your ba zi forecast. That would be the better date for you within the month etc.
Hope that helps.
Warmest Regards

2) White/Gold: MetalExtract of your Ba Zi Report:-
You are a Weak Metal, because there is too much Wood+Fire (54%) is greater than your Earth+Metal(40%),weaking your Metal.
So as a weak Metal, you first need to boost up your favourable elements that helps a Metal, and that will be Earth and Metal. This will then exhaust the Fire (54%) which you have too much off.
Only then, can you add your water/wood (as there is too little in your chart). If you just add Water, which exhaust your metal, it weakens you immediately. Then if you add wood, the wood destory your Earth, and strengthen the Fire.
The goal is to bring your percentage in harmony. You must always boost up your favourable elements first, then add in elements which you lack (even if they fall in your unfavourable elements).
To add your unfavourable elements first, before boosting up the elements that make you strong will actually make you weaker than you already are.
Though, it is not wrong of your other master to say that Water+Wood is what you lack ispartially correct. However, as you are still a weak Metal, adding water/wood directly without your favourable elements will weaken your first before it brings you any benefit. So the more accurate form is they are good only with the supplement of Earth/Metal first.

Edited by Robert: Please be advised that I have just revised the yearly forecast to implement some of the newly ideas to make the forecast report clearer. You should be able to generate a new updated report that should clear the doubts you have.

Thus, I should ignore the pair of chinese characters on the left of the calendar in your sample link as it says that Jan 2005 is a 'tiger' month. Pls. correct me as I was told that the lunar (chinese) calendar first month is 'tiger' month. So, if the calendar is referring toWestern Calendar, why is the Jan 2005 also a 'tiger' month? Unless, in 2005, the lunar January month is the same as the western january month.Technically, the right way is to view the calendar in the lunar calendar format, then there won't be any confusion. But to make it easy for users to view the days as per a full calendar year, that is why I choose to formatted the display list the dates as per a normal calendar 1 Jan to 31 Dec of that year. Because of that, it would be impossible to properly show the proper representation of the month. As some days within thewestern monthmay fall in different lunar months as it will span between two different calendar which makes it confusing.
PS: I have already revised a new yearly forecast layout topresent what I originally want to show in a clearer manner and it should solve the previous lunar/western month conflict.I now separate the year/month from the daily analysis. In addition, I now show the Lunar dates within the daily calendar. This way users will know what is the lunar date it represent while retaining the normalSun-Satwestern calendar formatting.

So, are you saying aHOUSE doesn't have a Gua # only the PERSON? I'm still somewhat confused. The information I read kept talking about the house's Gua # based on its sitting position but gave no further info on how to figure it out. Sorry, don't mean to be a pest. Thanks, ShaunnaGenerally, when it comes to the house, the best analysis is the Flying Star (Xuan Kong Feng Shui) chart. Determine your main door facing positions, and then you will be able to chart out a numerology chart that is based on the 9 numbers. Given it uses the 24 mountains, directions, it allows you to chart out many unique variations of luck for a house depending on what period the house is built.
This also bases on the what is the facing or sitting position of the house. But to avoid confusion, as long as you know the facing compass degree of your house (ie 0 degree = North N2). You will be able to determine your flying star chart of the house which determines the earth luck of a house.
Under the Eight House (ba zhai) concept. The method that is always used is determining the Gua of a person which tells you which are your 4 good and 4 bad directions. From that, it works out the 8 different types of chart and variations. This is a useful calculation as it helps a person determines whether a house is suitable or not.
The Gua sitting / facing position will actually be the foundation that is used in conjuction with the working of the flying star. But it is not really used on it's own. So really, the flying star (xuan kong feng shui) is what you would normally use for the assessment of the house.
Hope that helps.

Dear Erwin,
Frankly, I have no time to really go through the details you provided. However, I can quickly tell you that any chart that has too many clashes/harm tends to denote lots of quarrels or difference between the two person.
So the 1st person even though the element is oppositee, can still be resolved by having a binding element to help improve the relationship.
However, the 2nd person that has multiple clashes between the chart tends to more likely quarrel between or have major conflicts. Especially if there are major clashes or a total of 4 or more multiple clashes.
However, ultimately in any relationship, the human luck factor is also as important.
Warmest Regards

Can you enlighten me on the centrepoint of my house please?The best method for this kind of odd shaped layout, is to use the center of gravity method.
Paste a copyof this layout on a cardboard. Then cut the outline of the layout. Take a pin or pen to balance the cut out layout. Where it balances properly. That should be the centerpoint of the house.
I cut the normal printout (without the cardboard)and it balances around this X. As i did not paste it on the cardboard, it may not be as accurate as there is not enough weight to properly balance it. But it should be more or less around that point. So to confirm, just follow the method I methoned above.
Hope that helps.

Hi! My birthday is on the 26th August 1981, birth time is between 1100-1300. I read the free report and find out that my bazi self element is a weak fire. However Lillian Too said my self element is a strong fire. Can you help with my confusion? The birthchart that I showed Lillian is the same with no error,so am I a strong or weak self element?Frankly, our free chart is not crippled in anyway, so if it determines you as a weak fire, then you are a weak fire. There are a lot of factors to consider before one can determine accurately as a weak or strong element.
I presume this is for a female, right?
Then your five element breakdown would be:-
3 Water Strong 31 % 1 Wood Extremely Weak 2 % 5 Fire Weakest 26 % 0 Earth Weak 0 % 3 Metal Strongest 39 % Though, it may seem that you are a strong fire just because there is 5 fire, but bear in mind that it is weakest fire. So 5 Fire only makes up 26%.
As a weak fire, this means what is favourable for a weak fire are wood (2%) + fire (26%) = 28% favourable elements.
What makes a weak fire weak would be water which destory fire, and metal that destroy wood. So your unfavourable elementare water (31%) + metal (39%) = 70% unfavorurable elements.
Earth element can exhaust your fire and also destroy water your unfavourable element. So it is a double edged element. So it will cancel itself out in the end.
Given there is 70% unfavourable vs 28% favourable element, that is why we consider your element asa weak fire and not a strong fire.This is after a careful determination of any combinations / clashes / seasonal strength etc, broken down in exact percentage value.
Our free report although does not show you all the details, will give you the exact same results as a paid analysis. This means, that we will consider you a weak fire rather than strong fire.
Hope that helps.

Confusing Elements
in General Help
Posted
Dear Katrina,
Hello Master Lee, Can you explain the relationships between elements. I read somewhere that the element earth feeds metal BUT metal dissolves earth. How does that happen? Also, earth feeds fire BUT fire dissolves earth. We know that the flying star 5 is in the south for 2008. The south represents fire element. The #5 represents earth element. They say the south being a fire element magnifies the negative 5 star. But they say fire also dissolves earth so does that mean that the south sector which represents fire dissolves the negative 5 star? In that case, why do they say that earth feeds fire and thus makes the flying star 5 stronger in 2008? Please help clarify because it's confusing.
You need to understand that there is a productive, exhaustive and destructive cycle for every element.
1) Let's take Fire as an example.
a) Productive cycle is where Fire will produce Earth. Imagine after a fire, ashes will appear. Ashes is like Earth.
b) Destructive cycle where Fire will destroy Metal. Imagine take a metal sword heat it up and it melts into iron ore allowing you to re-shape it.
c) Exhaustive cycle, is opposite to productive cycle whereFire will exhaust wood to produce Earth. If you burn wood, won't wood be reduced to ash by fire?
2) Let's take Earth as the example
a) Earth produces Metal (ie you dig the earth for metal ore)
b) Earth destroy Water (ie imagine a dam stopping water)
c) Earth exhaust Fire (ie after fire burns out it leaves only ash)
earth feeds metal BUT metal dissolves earth
3) So basically, when you understand the above. You will realise that:-
a) Earth produces Metal (Productive Cycle effect).
b) After all the productive cycle effect is done, Earth is completely exhausted, so Metal dissolves Earth. (Exhaustive effect)
Also, earth feeds fire BUT fire dissolves earth.
4) This question I believe you mis-type. Should be Fire feeds Earth But Earth dissolves Fire.
a) which is same as above. Fire produces Earth (productive cycle)
b) Earth exhaust Fire (exhaustive cycle)
We know that the flying star 5 is in the south for 2008. The south represents fire element. The #5 represents earth element. They say the south being a fire element magnifies the negative 5 star. But they say fire also dissolves earth so does that mean that the south sector which represents fire dissolves the negative 5 star?
Think your question here is a wrong.
Yes, South sector is Fire, so if Earth flies there, it will be strengthened by it. Again, after any fire has strengthen the Earth, Fire will be exhausted.
But Earth will be very strong by then. While Fire would be weak or virtually exhausted. Fire there does not really affect anything except it makes Earth Strong. So the bad star Earth is left even stronger than it was.
In order to dissolve the strong Earth star, you need Metal. That is why you need Metal where there is a Strong Earth. Metal will help exhaust the Earth. So any star 6 (StrongMetal)or 7(weakMetal)will help.
So this portion I think you got confused.
In any case, we normally prioritise that any strengthen of flying star is done first by other Flying Star rather than by the sector. That portion is checked only after you have check out the overall impact of the flying star effects. Often not before.
