No offence, please. If qi can be clearly defined as splitting between an invisible line along a bed; this means also that "pigs can fly". Fortunately, you are (partially) correct to look at the worst and think of the bad numbers. However, as I had previously mentioned; if one were to apply Flying Star Feng Shui it is like an engineer or a technician using smoke to look at how an object behaves in a wind tunnel environment. (Again not exactly the same but...) One has to see where are the openings especially of importance are such things as the window(s) and even the room door. For example, the split personality bed and 5 1 2 lies close to the corner furthest away from the bedroom window or the bedroom door; then greater influence goes to 1 6 6 etc... For 5 1 2: the main thing to avoid is the use of YELLOW especially avoid bright yellow curtains or bed sheets or even warm white lights etc... Let's hope that Feng Shui has not gone to the dogs.... if not...

1. In my opinion, this is pure common sense. 2. For example, the sentences that you wrote already given the clues OR red flags: You wrote: I know that white is my best favourable colour based on 8 characters. However in recent reports it is said that people of MY BIRTH YEAR should wear black in 2013. How can I achieve the best colour for me in the new year? 3. I know a recent Women's publication and their web advertisement which I saw running in google ads linked to this forum gives a guide to what to wear. 4. These are some considerations: 4.1. The article is generalised for a typical animal sign. And it is based on one's year of birth only. 4.2. For example, I remember that as I am a rat, the colour wheel says that I should avoid RED. 4.2.1 Under the very basic astrology: a rat belongs to the water element. And it's worst pairing is a horse (Fire = red). 4.2.2 This is how that colour wheel works. It is based on basic Chinese Astrology. But, packaged so colourful and exciting that "IT SELLS"! 5. Even in several recent messages that such things or rather Chinese Astrology or call it Chinese Horoscope or Chinese Animal Signs (whatever) is just a model that is easy to produce and may look wonderful but is akin to taking X-ray photos. 6. While what does Eight or Eight Characters or Ba Zi or 4 pillars means? Each pillar represents either Year, Month, Day and Time of birth. 7. "Garbage-in Garbage-out". Not exactly a good example, here. But, under the 8 characters, especially your YEAR, MONTH, DAY and optional TIME of birth are LOOKED at and their interactions to result in your personal best colours. There is a difference being a Strong or Weak (element) person. 8. Another way of looking at it is that: the YEAR colour wheel's "answer" to one's colour scheme has to be general and I always say that it is like practising KINDERGARTEN level work. 9. This is no different from the past where: especially in the 1970's and even early 1980's: if one were told that North = water, South = fire, and if one lacks wood element : install more wood into one's home. During that time; the "victim" will not know the wiser and think "WOW" my geomancer is the greatest person on this earth = sage. 10. In the late 1980's to early 1990's some people take advantage of Feng Shui popularity and write popular books but these are too general to be of any use. For example, it started with Lin Yun and his fixed template model. 10.1. The book may start by : Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: North = Career Chapert 3: SW = Romance etc... 10.2. Frankly, in my opinion, these books that anyone with a flair for writing can simply come up with such a book. But, do they meet the quality or specialisation for an individual? 10.3. Again, if this is the early days where people have little knowledge of Feng Shui; WOW sounds great! As easy to apply. 10.4. This is why, in the 1960's to 1980's the most popular meta-physics books are Chinese Astrology. Like the YEAR best colour wheel of the magazine. During 1970's Chinese Astrology books are a dime a dozen. It will start with an Intro, The Pig, The Rat, The Ox etc.... 10.5. But nowadays, many realise that these Chinese Astrology Books are too general as it is based purely on one's YEAR of birth! 11. For example, there are many and even economists and researchers have even deemed the most recent Singapore's white paper on population increase to 6.9M as propaganda instead of a well researched document. 11.1 Thus, the colour wheel and best colours for each animal signs is just that a nice little "propaganda" packaged in an exciting way.

Do you know that spirits love abandoned wells?

One can only find such grille patterns around the 1950s to 1960s. Not exactly Tic-tac-toe but somewhere near to it?

The slender front of the renowned Khong Guan Biscuits Factory takes us back to the 1950s. The primary entrance features a RED star. One might have assumed that this was once the headquarters of a Communist Party, were it not for the sign above that reads "Khong Guan Biscuits". How nostalgic!

You can find an individual's element and strength under this url: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm Note: The final result is always either Weak or Strong e.g. weak water, strong water, weak wood, strong wood etc....

Past By Ranking Exercise: Hedges Park Condo

Past work. During the early days of selection of good stacks (by ranking)...

These are some considerations: 1. Under other Shapes and Forms considerations: 1.1. Before committing to the final approved layout: always super-impose the 2nd level onto the ground floor. 1.1.1 For the ground floor level, try to make sure or hope that the toilet is not directly above the main door or the toilet pipes especially the sewerage pipes are not above the main door. 1.1.2 In addition, it is best that the main door does not open to an unobstructed back area or main door opendirectly with full view of the stove or toilet (door) etc.. 2. Frankly, we are not privy to your interior layout. So it is really not fair to ask questions like can I switch the main door to the blue drawing etc... Thus, it would not be fair for me to just ask you move your main door. In fact, other than Para 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 there are even other considerations. 3. For the 2nd level, always superimpose the ground floor and check that a 2nd storey bed should not be directly above a stove etc... You wrote: 2. I ever think of switching the main door to the side and change the existing main door with window? However, at another side, the master room is somewhere above but deeper inside the house. Generally speaking, above the main door is Changing Room. Is it suitable for the main door to be placed there? 4. Again, frankly, in my opinion only the writer knows exactly what they are writing about. There are other considerations like what is the new main door facing? etc... 4.1. Thus, please don't ask me similar questions like: "Is it suitable for the main door to be placed, there?" Etc... My answer would be based on the most popular phase word by Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister: I ask you " WHAT DO YOU THINK?"

Further to what I had mentioned. Some of us are either na?ve or fool-hardy or know the none wiser. Some of us want our child to be compatible. But wait! Sometimes there may be a price to be paid, here! Sometimes, a compatible child's ba zi may suck! What is better if his ba zi is good or lucky vs a ba zi that is inauspicious or nothing to cry about. Don't we as a parent what our child to have as much advantage as possible. Some children are born with very auspicious luck periods, some so so etc...

Just recently, I mentioned that Chinese Astrology or Horoscope based on the 12 animal signs is a simplistic model based purely on one's YEAR of birth. Reference: www.lovesigns.net Chinese Astrology is akin to going for a chest X-ray or if one is suspect of having broken bones, may go for such an X-ray. As bones are hard and a simple X-ray can reveal broken bones if any. But for delicate tissues or organs and going into each minute slice; one nowadays may have to go for an MRI scan. Thus Ba Zi is akin to an MRI scan technology. But Chinese Astrology: Oh! I was born in the Year of the rat is rudimentary technology. Under Ba Zi, what is more important is the day a child is born in which ever year e.g. Year of the Pig, Year of the Rat, Year of the Ox etc.... Under Ba Zi, there can be many Toms, Dicks and Susan born in the Year of the Rat. But there are even fewer in that year born on a specific day and even a specific hour! Under Ba Zi, today may belong to e.g. the water pig, tomorrow, the water rat, the other days a metal snake etc.... And compability based on Ba Zi is on each person's ba zi element and strength vs another person's ba zi element etc...

In my opinion, one of the lowest common denominator in for compatibility is the DAY a child is born. Thus if the child is both in the year of the snake but in general born on a dragon day; this can differ from a chlid born in both the snake year and snake DAY. In addition; hour of birth may mean a good or a poor Heaven luck (ba zi chart). How is it certain that although you are a Year rat and hubby year pig; each of the day that you were born does matter. A person born in the year of rat may even be a snake element depending on day of birth. In ba zi, we also look at one 's element and strenght e.g. Strong water? Etc

What kind of SPIRITS are you talking about?

Is this pure coincidence? Under the Yin and Yang concept: all even numbers are considered YIN. And since devil's favourite number is 666 = even = YIN! Wow!

These are some considerations: 1. Generally, Option where the altar is next to the main door is a good choice. 2. As you had mentioned, the stove placement should be based on one's ba zi and is beyond this discussion. 3. There is no issue if one wants to place a shoe cabinet next to the main door. This is pretty common even for many condo unit owners.

1. Info extracted from a past forum message:- 10. Under the Yin and Yang concept, anything that is even number e.g. 2, 4, 6, 8 etc.. is considered yin. While 1, 3, 5, 7 or any odd number is considered yang. --- It follows the same principles for all even numbers are considered (yin) and all odd numbers are considered (yang). This means that 2, 4, 6, 8 are yin, and 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are yang. This theory is applied to all I-Ching, Flying Star and anything to do with number theory. Warmest Regards Robert Lee 2. A proper Flying Star chart can detect further clues as to how yin a specific sector is. Thus for example: if the bomb shelter storeroom in the earlier example has concentrations of too many YIN flying star numbers like MS#2 MS#4 and Base#2 then, this sector is considered too yin. And have a higher chance of getting hijacked by yin spirits. 3.My earlier resources written around 1997 on Devil's gate can be found under this link:-http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-gate.htm

The revised position of the pooja (altar). It is now sitting SE facing NW instead.

Last year, a Hindu client of mine, had his altar facing NE and sitting SW. In Singapore, it is common for many Hindus to place their pooja (altar) in a storeroom or bomb shelter. In this case, please see attachment. The client's original altar is as shown in the attachment i.e. sitting SW facing NE. I recommended him to change the altar to sit SE facing NW as shown in the highlighted in BLUE MESH.

1. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, there are two considerations, here:- These are some considerations:- 1. Yin and Yang concept and Bright Hall effect 1.1 Often when someone plants a tree e.g. a fruit tree like the mango tree. If planted in the ground, such a tree often matures and can grow pretty large by the time they reach 8 years or more. 1.2 In the past, especially in the 1970's where many who purchased a landed property will have a proper sized garden and car porch. As such often we see a mango tree planted in the compound of the house. 1.3 Please take note that in general planting a tree is not a bad idea. But, from these photos one can see that a mango tree can grow pretty large: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=3969&new= 1.4 What is more of a concern is that the area surrounding the tree trunk if not properly trimmed or if the tree is huge; can cast a dark shadow below. Making the area too Yin. 1.5 One therefore can no longer enjoy a BRIGHT HALL effect especially if the entire frontage is exceptionally darken by the leave foliage of such a tree. 1.6 Thus if there no longer a bright hall effect; it is harder for qi to collect and meander into the home. 1.7 This is why nowadays, many Singapore terrace homes and even semi-detached and bungalows opted for low foliage density trees such as the Lipstick palm (Maharaja tree). As most palm trees often have fewer leaves and the lipstick palm being red is considered auspicious and it grows in a cluster both tall and thin with a fan shaped foliage that does not cast as much dark shadows as a well rounded mango or rambutan or similar type of trees. 2. Devil's Gate: Devil's front door (portal for them to enter this world) and out. 2.1 Even under Indian Vastu principles: it is best not to place figurines of Hindu gods in a North-East and South-West alignment. This is because, there is a concern of or similar to the Devil's gate. 2.2 Thus, for Indian homes that install a Pooja, it is strongly recommended to avoid placing the altar facing NE and sitting SW. The concern is that inadvertenly the figurines or the pooja site can become a portal for the movement in and out of such spirits. 2.3 More so, as the pooja room (prayer) room is often located in a storeroom for Singapore Indians. And if we do read many stories about "Western" hauntings; often the spirits would hide in a storeroom as it is rather dark and cold. Talk about cold spots, here. 3. In a past link, I also mentioned; to be extra careful that the tree trunk does not slice into the living room window(s) or sliding panels or the main entrance door of a home. Please read more from an earlier posting. Do a search and one can find old resources on having tree(s) in a compound:- 1.1. Yin and Yang concept Often, the living room is located at the frontage of the home. And good trimming or landscaping is good, here so that the frontage does not get cluttered. In Singapore, especially in the early 1970's many landed property homes often have a mango tree at e.g. the corner or the frontage of the home. Some have rambutan trees. What happen is that when a mango tree matures, it can grow quite tall and can cast a large "shadow" below, making the frontage very yin (or dark). Some feel that it makes the home "gloomy" as too much shade literally hides the frontage of the home. Nowadays, in Singapore, it is rare for new developments (landed properties) to have a mango tree. Especially since the external floor area is much reduced and no space for such a tree or trees. 1.2 Tree trunks Be careful of the trunk of a tree slicing towards one's main entrance area or slicing towards the windows of a bedroom or living room. This is considered as a poison arrow. Make sure that the guava tree's trunk does not directly slice the main door. To test, stand inside the main entrance and look out of it directly.

Question: May I know where is the best place to put all the items such as salt, oil, rice, huat kuay, pineapple etc after we brought them into the house and for how long we need to put it there? The idea of bringing in the items are symbolic. It implies stocking up essentials. Thus, anytime, after bringing them in; they can be properly organized and stored in their respective places. And to be used or consumed, anytime afterwards. Thus there is no hard or fast rule to where to place them; but definitely after bringing them into the kitchen, one day must keep or place them in their proper shelves.

How come this fella prays daily to Guan Yin. Yet, will never get cancer from daily incense burning? What do you thing?
