1. Frankly, take this as "hear-say information. 2. Such Feng Shui concepts should be renegated into the trash-bin. 3. In essence; this type of Feng Shui is akin to Kindergarten type of Fung Sway. 4. If an overseas Chinese was forced to migrate from Communist China; came to the shores of Singapore in 1930's.. may be fully impressed by this statement. 5. Today, not anymore.. but rather "be prepared to be laughed at". P.S. My toes are partially laughing... still doing so... until now....

1. Frankly, there is no one model that fits All senarios. 2. In my opinion, both may have it's merits and demerits: as no two cases are identical; 3. Contrary to popular belief, many of the past great Feng Shui masters did not learn from a senior or if so, few got the privillege to do so. Thus, even in the past, this is how they do it:- How did all the Great Feng Shui Masters of the Past Learn & Practise their Feng Shui?4.One advantage of the mountain and water star is that it comes out with the#81 combinations and many other considerations. 5. Frankly, I have not looked at the book that you are referring to; but the water and time is already being practised; just that it may not be in that "flowerly language". 6. For example, under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; majority of the time; even if the frontage may have the mountain star #8; no matter how, due to the Shapes and Forms concept; of "bright-hall" or clear space; distinctively the "water" stars are thus more important in this instance. 7. Even if we don't activate the water star, a bright area in-front of a premise is much better than a "mountain". 8. Commonsense says that between placing a water feature vs placing a rocky formation e.g. Guilin blocks of stone.. count how many buildings prefer rocks or water? 9. Thus, cow-sense says that most likely for every 10,000 water position placed... perhaps we may occasionally find a mountain activated. 10. Thus, water = flat space or bright hall is preferred. 11. If we were to choose the 20 Year Flying star vs timely stars, of course, on paper; timely stars are SUPPOSE to be better PROVIDED one is that FREE to activate it... that sort of thing. 12. There is therefore no right or wrong or this method is superior than that one. Again IT DEPENDS! 13. For a lay person, the more complicated the concept; the harder to follow and the higher chance of getting it wrong! The saying goes "ONE bird is better TWO in the BUSH" sort of thing.

Are you referring to the "Later Heaven Sequence Bagua? Where you said "After-Heaven"? Please check this link:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-pakua.htm Traditionally, "The First Heaven Sequence Mirror" should be used and not the "Later Heaven Sequence Mirror." In majority of all the Asian countries; so far, I have yet to come across a commercial "Later Heaven Sequence Mirror". Not sure about America or European, thou. Maybe some diabolically twisted soul would make a "Later Heaven Sequence Mirror" for sale. Yes, all mirrors should FACE-OUTwards. Thus, if possible it should be hung outside and hardly if any for someone to hang it indoors even thu it is facing outwards.... But as a Last Resort, if really can't then no choice liao.... Note: The term Pakua and Bagua are the same. Where Pakua is a Chinese dialect (Hokkien) way of pronouncing the politcally correct: Mandarin pin yin spelling of "Bagua".

These are some of the considerations: 1. Afternoon Sun In fact, usually if we were to look at a development few units or stacks were left; majority of these unsold units/stacks are affected by direct afternoon sunlight. Therefore, this is always one of the key criterias when selecting a home or apartment. In terms of Feng Shui; this is true and too much exposure also to afternoon sun (sun-light ... to .. heat soaking into the walls / coming into windows and even "sun-burn" ) are concerns. 2. Sha Qi or Poison Arrows In a development like this, where there so many different blocks and stacks facing different directions; there may be a likelyhood that a sharp corner of another neigbhouring block or stack COULD/ MAY be aimed towards one's dream apartment. Thus, it is best to TRY to avoid buying such a unit. Of course, it is not built yet so how? If possible try to study the neigbouring block and your "dream unit" and if there are more detailed block map, try to figure out as much as possible; whether or could the corner be sharp or aimed at a specific room of the unit one may be wanting to purchase. Of course, if later on it turns out that way, there is indeed a sharp corner aimed at the unit "window".. then.. 3. Such a development have various units/stacks facing many directions.. thus, check mainly the main breadwinner's best directions: East or West Group. 4. Also, the period we are in. Since we are now under Period 8; better apartments are often the SW / NE facing. South etc.. 5. Units facing main roads are often noisy. So is low units close to the dusbin area (smelly). Where is the power station; How does cars use the service road in and out of the basement carpark .. will affect low floor units facing this service road area... 6. Any external threats (if any) from neigbouring blocks etc.. etc...

These are further considerations: 1. Yes, in the long term, termites may be a concern. 2. For new developments; most (I say) most suppose to be responsible developers or their main contractor should have place those termite "canisters" into the soil. Usually, these are slow release ones and often can deter termites upto say 2 to 3 years (less those termities that may fly in or brought in by the subsidary proprietors. 3. As per the canal or pond etc.. either you have get professional services such as "Can or Cannot buy" or DIY for that matter....

Yes, you can but I wanted to open the window(s) to allow the high toilet moisture to evaporate away thru the windows. CAN I?

Go to all the newly opened shopping centres and we can see lots of impratical ways; architects work:- 1. When the Ang Mo Kio Hub opened several years ago; the way, vehicles move-in and out caused several unwanted accidents because of poor design. However, a redesign of the movement today, has solved the problem. 2. Many complaint about the NEX, Shopping hub. Yeap, drove there, went to the 90 degree turns; upto level 4 and I gave up, drove away.. 3. It is good that they are now re-engineering the Causeway point carpark. Previously a true bottle-neck: cars coming into the mall jostle with cars coming out jostle with the regular pedestrians trying to cross towards the Woodlands Civic Centre. 4. In 2012; when The Centris condo TOP (Boon Lay); one can literally look into all the toilets: take a look at the photo: the bath-tub; the toilet bowl (WC) and basic are in full view... from the common corridor.. Furthermore, if one were to open the windows; I am sure, the toilets are in full view of neigbhour's unit. 5. Of course, many would drape the windows with blinds or screens... but what if, one could still see-thru the CLEAR glass? Neighbours and visitors get a free show? 6. The Quartz at Compassvale; share the same concerns.. Just walk along the open areas and.... 7. Oh why use glass? During the construction of these buildings; Malaysia imposed a restriction on the sale of sand to Singapore.. thus, perhaps, it is more costly to build bricks and mortar homes vs all glass; I guess....

The Geomancer has already confessed that he can't be bothered to change his work directions YEARLY! The Geomancer also cited an example that many people themselves so long as they stay in a same home and occupy the same bedroom (room); majority don't change their study directions on a YEARLY basis! And the Geomancer has also stated that most likely, your Feng Shui has no staying power! Most likely in a YEAR's TIME your Feng Shui is like "GONE WITH THE WIND". Therefore, you are a FREE MAN OR WOMAN OR NEITHER; why suffer each YEAR to find which directions NOT TO sort of THING! SIAO!

How to pick out THEYEARLY PRACTITIONERS=SLAVES of Fung Sway: 1. These homo-sapiens are the ones that perhaps; have never heard of the word Fung Sway or had remotely heard of it a few years ago. 2. These homo-sapiens; suddenly, wake-up slap themselves and decided that just because the Jones change direction of their study or work YEARLY directions; these homoids decided to do the same. 3. These homoids or crazy homo-sapiens did not realise that after their interest wane; so their YEARLY urge to change their or so called friends directions will die outsome-time or later.. usually earlier... 4.I can understand if onesuddenly found that one mayperhaps be an East group person and try their best to make a "one-time" change to this good direction ONCE. THIS IS OK! 5. But to those homoids aka homo-sapiens thatTRY to changetheirstudy or work directions;YEARLY... bet you in 10 yeartime... you will be doing something else instead of following your so called YEARLY routine... In Hokkien we call these people "SIAO" (mad = crazy) and "SE BAY BO TAI CHI CHOW" (too bloodly free is it?)

Frankly, it is beyond this forum as there is very limited information to go on. It may be a coincidence and/or a contributing factor. In general, a spiral staircase is always not the best choice in a home: as if you have check pastmessages; somehow, it is not "friendly" to the flow of qi. In order to reduce the bad effects (if any) The Concept of Maximizing Marksis always a sound way of trying to reduce bad qi and to try to improve the "marks" for a home.

Some Feng Shui is always based on commonsense or "cowsense". == Extract of past forum posting == For example, on the statement of "building a wall at the back to prevent qi from escaping ". In a commonsense approach, if we look at this from a wider picture, this seems a very good point. Not so much of the view that 'qi could escape" but rather, - once in a while, sometimes we read of landslides. Sometimes, even the best homes build on a stable foundation uphill, could not stand the force of gravity. Especially an unfortunate very heavy downpour (perhaps of several days) plus a weaked reinforcement. == End == Unfortunately, in this recent case of Christchurch, New Zealand, something other than a heavy down-pour.. in this case an earthquake... and the force of gravity... can cause landslides....

Frankly, in my opinion, go for it! Not many people or only a few percentile of every cohort in a year are eligible for medicine! Within medicine there are lots of fields of specialisation! So being a weak metal person should not be a hurdle or a stumbling block! Therefore, go for it, please! If I have a son like him would be very proud!!!

Hey! My home is directly above the stove!

Frankly, this is nothing new, here. Use the search feature on the TOP-LEFT frame of this forum for things like "Kitchen above bedroom" And you will not be alone in this kitchen above bedroom thing:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=5457&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=19879&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=17237&new= In fact, this message has some commonsense information like installing a smoke detector or best to install a proper fire panel or something like that:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=9848&new=

These are some of the considerations:- 1. An ordinary compass may be affected by metal near-by. Thus if one's home has concrete with steel-re-bar in it; the compass readings may affect the compass. 2. In fact, it is always best to take a compass reading even outside of the home especially on a grass area (but again) some grass areas may have embedded metallic items. 3. Thus, take a few readings or use the street directory type of reading... do a search and there are some examples of doing so. 4. Frankly, it does not matter whether you take a reading from the pillow, the centrepoint of the bedroom, the living room; so long as the compass needle always matches and does not sway more than 10 degrees from any degree; then it is fine or OK. 5. Therefore, so long as the needle of the compass or if nowadays, you can use tools like an iphone and/or Samsung galaxy or galaxy s or tab type of item; you can find the direction 6. Thus, for sleeping directions it is always standing at where one suppose to place one's feet and the direction for best sleeping is based on where one's head is pointed towards. 7. I am glad that you find this forum useful!

Further to what I had mentioned; 1. Although, there are three kinds of luck:- 1.1. Heaven or born with 1.2. Earth or Feng Shui 1.3. Human or man luck factors (feelings: comfortable, unease etc..) 2. Often even if one has "technically perfect" ways to place say a bedhead or study direction; often, it is how comfortable one feels or one's feelins count MOST! 3. Thus, one can get the Feng Shui 100 percent suppose to be correct; but if the person who say occupies a bedroom don't feel comfortable via the Feng Shui suggestion; also no use. 4. Thus ultimately the Human or Man factors has a high weigthage over Earth luck! 5. In this real life example, this baby girl of 5 years old; prefer her bed position as shown under the attachment even if we the adults say that the other positions are "far superior" in terms of Feng Shui. 6. On paper, see attachment, the Feng Shui advice did not take into consideration the afternoon sun! 7. It is the same thing as the study table. For most of us or even for our children; it does not mean that you must change their study table directions based soley on Feng Shui. 8. Many of us have our comfort zone; thus, if we have been "comfortably" studying at a specific location or direction; what makes someone think that we would do better from other locations and directions? if everything else remains the same.

These are some of the considerations:- A. This is because East sector; has both the Five Yellow and Tai Sui at that sector. 1. Would there be any difference if I renovate the house and change the direction of the door by building an inner door? i.e face North instead B. Firstly, unless the you bought a small private enclosed area and COULD place a gate cum door at the other direction; otherwise; it is not practical to do so. C. Look at it this way, you mean that if next year, and coincidentaly, if North happens to be a bad sector; you need to change the door back to say East? Ain't this "rubbish" or fool hardy? or what? D. Frankly, only the mad or a lunatic does this sort of thing. Please don't ever follow these people. 2. If i renovate this year but only move in after CNY next year, would it be better? 3. If I have to move in this year, are there any ways to minimise the 'damage' / disturbance? 4. Does the misfortune or happenings limit to this year? ie. things will be ok after next year CNY. 5. What is your best advice to me? E. In fact, yours is not the only first time that such things happen nor will it not happen again. F. The key thing is that you can do as many renovations as possible BEFORE you move-in. ONCE you moved-in SIMPLY avoid doing any: Touch or disturb that area: re-painting; hacking, drilling that sort ofthin. G. And if the main door is facing East, then for this yearly, simply SLAM-SHUT the door, that's all. H. There is no "continuity" in the habits of Feng Shui for many:- "Come-on" many of us have better things to do; and once; we had done say our renovations and for some; don't do anymore research; then this Feng Shui thing will stop. Tell me; how many have from birth to youth to adulthood and past prime to look at such things even on a yearly basis? Even as a geomancer, I really can't be bothered to change my work directions (if ever)... What has this crazy world become? An asylum for the Lunatic Fung Sway franatic??? Nowadays, gone too far! There are simply ridicious thoughts even by new messages that say: This year, facing east is no good, so should I face somewhere else? You mean these people will foreever on a yearly basis look at how they sit and face? Just ponder over your childhood; many of us are in a Primary school for a total of 6 years; Secondary school for a total of usually 4 years and Pre-u (2 years) Poly (3 years). Tell me, who the hell changes their study directions yearly? Unless... change bedroom or home.. otherwise, one will be most likely studying from the same table and chair all our teen lives! If your interest in Feng Shui wanes.. tomorrow; one can't even be bothered to change seats and table facing directions... Go get a proper life..! Please!

The Beeh Low See Buddhist Temple is nestled between Jalan Jurong Kechil and Toh Yi. The main building of the temple is sitting South facing North and elevated on a hill. Based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; it is said to be sitting on a hill, facing water". What is unique about this temple is the entire Toh Yi Housing Board Flats were literally built around it. Here, the temple came first; before the homes!

Usually, these "charms" are related to the Tibetian style. This charm was seen in asubsidairy of a "famous" Mee Pok store = Jalan Tua Kong.

There is no end to the types of Lion figurines found on gate-posts. This home has both the White Lion (representing) the metal element and a Brown coloured Lion (representing) wood element...

These are some of the considerations: 1. Even under the traditional Chinese zodiac sign; although Dog and rabbit are considered a good match, however, over time; it can be considered as a "dull match":- http://www.lovesigns.net/horoscope/areference/crbdo.htm 2. Based purely on the Chinese zodiac, most likely the "spark" or "romance" between the pair is.... 3. However, in modern times; there are other levels of considerations:- 3.1. Earth Luck or Feng Shui (involves things like plotting a flying star chart and disarming stars like #3 etc..) 3.2. Human or man luck factors: this includes your boss's current mindset; or sometimes your boss may have family problems or other personal matters; the business environment etc... 4. If you were in good talking terms with your boss in the past, perhaps, find the right time to speak to him on a "personal level" to find out more.

For majority of us; our birthdays are the days when we decided to come out naturally from hiding! Only a select few are every coaxed out of hiding!

Further to what I had mentioned, a proper Ba Zi analysis will be based on one's day of birth. Thus, in this example, 1 Jan 2011 is an earth element day. 2 Jan 2011 is a water element day. 3 Jan 2011 is a wood element day. 4 Jan 2011 is an earth element day. 5 Jan 2011 is a metal element day. 6 Jan 2011 is a metal element day. 7 Jan 2011 is a earth element day. In addition, every two hours: 11 to 1, 1 to 3, 3 to 5, 5 to 7, 7 to 9, 9 to 11 may influence a person's element not withstanding a person is a male or female. Thus, if a male is born say on 2 Jan 2011 and depending on his birth time; he may be a weak water element person or even a strong water element person. Therefore, you cannot justask the question: "Can someone conceive in 2012... and both parents areweak this or weak that sort of thing. Until the baby comes out of "hiding" or coaxed out of hiding; only then can one be 100 percent certain what element and strength that baby's element is.

In my opinion, I believe there is slight flaw in your argument. 1. You zoom in that the parents are weak metal Dog and weak water Horse. 2. Suddenly, you compare this with such a general senario: "a child born in 2012? 3. This should not be the case. This is like comparing the results found using an Hospital MRI scan vs an X-ray result. 4. Here, the detailed information e.g. being a weak metal Dog is akin tothe detailed result similar to the results found using the Hospital's MRI scan. 5. The year 2012 is similar to a chestx-ray : yielding general information. Such an x-ray info may work well with say looking at broken bones if any; but for body tissues; the most it can see is "dark tissues" or suspected TB case. 6. To be fair, if you need to compare it with the year; you should have to compare it witha day. 7. Thus, for example ifApril21, 2012 belongs to the weak watermale or perhaps weak or strong water female. 8. Even within the 2012; every day has it's own element. 9. If one conceives and goes for natural birth; then one is at the mercy of that specific day andalso gender consideration. A maleor female baby make make a difference in their birth element and even the time of birth can or could sway being say a weakwater person to a strong water person or vice-versa. 10.Even in acesarian birth; it also depends onthe doctor's availability;whether the operating theatre is available or not. Sometimes born between 11am to 12.59pm can be different from a person say born at 1pm to2.59pm sort of thing. 11. Therefore, cannot just look at year aloneto base a decision toconceive or what. Unfortunately for some; even if they try to conceive; hard-luck; either theman's pistol shoots dud rounds or the female's clock stopped working... 12. In Singapore, and many countries today; the government would be very thankful that the faster one produces (as many as possible)! Go ahead! Make the governmentvery proud! And at the same time; hopefully, filial piety.. befalls on the couple! Yeah!

1. These are the photos of the 10 Qing (Ching) Dynasty coins. 2.Other than coins with auspicious sounding wordings; the Qing Dynasty coinsare often used, today as symbolisms in Feng Shui. 3. This is because the Qing Dynasty is one of the longest dynasties in China, stretchingfrom the reign of Shun-chifrom 1644 AD to 1911 AD.This dynasty : outwit, outlastany other dynasties by a mile. 4. Often, under symbolism in Feng Shui; if you want to use such coins; try to choose coins from two of the longest lasting reigns that represents periods of prosperity such as Kang-shi or Chien-lung. For example in the 11th month of the 16th year of Chien-lung's reign 1752 AD he was just 41 years of age, Emperor Chien-lung celebrated his mother's 60th birthday. 5. Real or geniune coins belonging to such an era (various periods) arevery rare; today. Thus majority of the coins used in Feng Shui are non-originals; they are either made of bronze, brass or a combination of such metals. These are duplicate or simply called"fake' coins. 6. Depending on where one buys the coins and quantity or bybargaining; the price may range from Singapore $0.30 cents each to $0.60 cents per piece. 7. The wordings side is often known as the Yang side. Which has four Chinese mandarin characters. While the Yin side has two inscrpitions "or flower side".
