These are some of the considerations: 1. Yes, in theory or on paper; based on Flying Star Feng Shui; for a P8 SW2, the water star #8 is at NE (sitting position). 2. But even for Flying Star Feng Shui; it is not like one size fits all sort of thing. 3. If the back of the house is "enclosed"; it does not make sense to place a water position. Although, one may still (if one wants to) an urn; to catch rain. But make sure that it is does not become stagnant water for mosquito breeding. 4. If the home has say a 2nd storey; especially after a rain; allow the windows to be opened to refresh air/qi. 5. Sometimes water #8 can be activate by making sure that the place is bright and airy. And /or a place of activity e.g. in some homes the back of the compound is quite large and one can even have a garden santuary at say the NE location.

This is usually how a Can or Cannot Buy House Hunting (Guildline) Report looks like.. The report looks at the main breadwinner and analyses the various stars, combinations, suitability with housewith ba zi suitability. This this sample is of a male person Date of Birth: 23 Mar 1978 and the House is a Period 8: 2004 onwards till 2023:- Type of House Direction of Main Door Excellent House N1 (337.5-352.4) , E1 (67.5-82.4) , S1 (157.5-172.4) , S2 (172.5-187.4) , S3 (187.5-202.4) Auspicious House N2 (352.5-7.4) , N3 (7.5-22.4) , E2 (82.5-97.4) , E3 (97.5-112.4) , SE1 (112.5-127.4) Auspicious/Average but Unsuitable House SE2 (127.5-142.4) , SE3 (142.5-157.4) Inauspicious House NW2 (307.5-322.4) , NW3 (322.5-337.4) , NE1 (22.5-37.4) , NE2 (37.5-52.4) , NE3 (52.5-67.4) , SW1 (202.5-217.4) , SW2 (217.5-232.4) , SW3 (232.5-247.4) , W1 (247.5-262.4) , W2 (262.5-277.4) , W3 (277.5-292.4) , NW1 (292.5-307.4)

These are some of the considerations:- 1. In my opinion; the major key success factor is : Location, location and location. 2. The most sensible thing one should do; like the majority of people is: to bring your partner and or the entire family to the proposed new home. 3. In fact, Para 2; is always what most of us do until some "discovered" Fung Sway! 4. Just imagine; majority of us depend on our instincts to purchase a home. And in fact; majority have been successful. 5. When one starts or try to make sane of so many Feng Shui and even Bazi concepts; here; the yearn for the perfect home is injected into our head. 6. In a house hunting report; there is the overview of the 15 directions and which directions are very good; good; so-so; inauspicious based on the Flying Star + another variable = when the home is/was built. 7. Unless one is applying Ba zi Feng Shui; then one has to evaluate Para 6 with your best directions. And some apply Ba zi Feng Shui. If so, with more variables; as you had found out... for a novice; or not an expert in the Can or cannot buy field; it is trying to walk into a mine-field and home that one does not step onto a mine. 8. In general:- 8.1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui: Location, location and location is of paramount importance. 8.2. Next greater weigthage is to the Flying Star Feng Shui 8.3. As for the eight house; if Para 8.2. is an excellent house; then for the breadwinner; the facing direction can be "irritation" or "spook" vs "death" or "disaster"; And other considerations include; looking into the sector(s) how best does family member's fit. 8.4. The dreaded afternoon sun is still a major consideration 8.5. Another consideration is Bazi Feng Shui. Some geomancers consider that since Bazi has more inputs: and in a very detailed bazi : DD/MM/YYYY and Time is included; thus; some geomancers say this has a higher weighage than just the Eight House. As this Eight House thing has fewer variable inputs e.g. Year of birth as the consideration. 9. Thus, under 8.5. the concept of G.I.G.O. may be a consideration. Since Bazi uses so many detailed information (even without the time of birth) it is still considered fairly accurate vs say the Eight House. 10. The only senario is that unfortunately, bazi results often differs. Thus, there are many geomancers that can get your bazi wrong, also. So, if your bazi is analysed wrongly; then.. so is the results. 11. Thus this goes back to Para 2. above. This is the most practical method!

i) Can I tweak the main door to face North East which is located in North, so that the main door direction is favorable to me?>> I was staying in a single storey link-house which built in year 2005, where the main door is located at North 2 and also facing North. As I was a West group Kua 7, where main door facing North is not favorable, according to Ba Zhai i) Can I tweak the main door to face North East which is located in North, so that the main door direction is favorable to me? ii) Do I still enjoy the Flying Star double 8 in my North 2 facing house, should my main door located in North has been alter to face North East? Thank you in advance for your advice.

If you are an American-Chinese; with partial shiny head and at least 65 years old; move to Hawaii: Honolulu; the land of the Hawaii FIVE-O!

Source & Credit: Today, Newspaper, 10 March 2011 What makes him the happiest man in the US? New York - A Chinese-American man in Hawaii has been named the happiest person in the United States by a New York Times/Gallup poll. Gallup identified a statistical hypothesis for its survey: Male, tall, Asian-American, an observant Jew, at least 65 years old, maried with children, and a business owner with a household income of more than US$120,000 (S$152,315)...

Frankly, look at it this way, you are there to take a reading and you did say that your reading of the facade was something like S1. I have already mentioned my views on tilting a door e.g. from S1 to S2. Overall; no geomancer is on the ground. Thus, the ball is on your court. If your reading is accurate; fine. But if it is G.I.G.O. then really.. (full stop) P.S. For new members; what is G.I.G.O. can be found under this sample link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=27534&new=

In 2021; most of us who had spent our holidays in China in the 2011's would reminiscent how CHEAP China was. In 2021; I believe; the Chinese currency will be much stronger than the US currency.....

In 2031 onwards... this will most likely be the senario Here's the "good news"... If you can understand the two graphics; clap; clap; clap.... you do have a higher "Shapes and Forms" factor i.e. better abstract understanding... If you don't seem to understand these two imagines; so sorry; either you have an extremely low IQ in the abstract area or you better stick to your FLYING STAR Feng Shui!

These are some considerations:- 1. Your posting of this thread into "Earth Luck: Flying Star (Xuan Kong)" Feng Shui conference. 2. Please note that Flying Star (Xuan Kong) is one of the two Compass School of Feng Shui model / concept. 3. The other Compass School Feng Shui is the Eight House or East/West Group Feng Shui. 4. Given the above "clue" what has lot number got to do with the above? None! 5. In addition:Flying Star (Xuan Kong) Feng Shui can be sub-divided further into TWO models/concepts:- 5.1. Horizontal Flying Star Feng Shui 5.1.1. This is the usual 20 Year Flying Star Chart. And this is the most used of the Xuan Kong concept. 5.2. Vertical Flying Star Feng Shui 5.2.1. This is based on the idea that qi is different at different heights or storeys. Thus an apartment at say 5th storey is different from one that is at 9th storey etc.... 6. Again; what has lot numbers to do with either Horizontal and/or Vertical Flying Star Feng Shui? Nothing; Yes, totallyZERO; no relationship at all with lot numbers. 7.Under Numerology be it in Western Astrology;Chinese name / strokes etc.. there are thousands of numerologly methods. Thus, one method may saythat the new lot number is auspicious; while another may say that it is really bad? So which numerology concept you want tobelieve in?

These are additional comments: 1. How many of us have come across situations where "cheap" to some may IMPLY inferior quality. 2. There are always a percentage of people or persons; who felt good having being told that "don't worry" or you have to follow "my advice" and tilt the door to a certain direction. 2.1. To some of these people; the "wow" factor comes into play or the feel good or man luck factor comes in. 2.2. Thus, cannot blame this group if the geomancer seems confident that tilting the door is the mother of all their "cures or worries". 2.3. Thus, psychology is in action: If it makes the owners feel good (better human luck) comes into play. 3. Perhaps; this group of people; if they met us; where we say; this is temporary or something like that. Some people would say "You are damn lousy". The other geomancer is better! or best! He says can be done! 4. Some of us; just want to hear ONLY the good news! And nothing else! Got it? Get it? 5. Thus if you really feel refreshed after hearing a YES; then go for it! It is only your money!

1. Frankly, even amongst geomancers; this question is not easily answered. 2. As some geomancer's have such a habit! For example; all their lifes; they have advised their clients that tilting the door is beneificial. Just imagine; a chain smoker. If one asks a chain smoker to refrain from smoking; all of us know the consequences... ain't easy. 3. Thus, in my opinion; this topic is rather subjective. 4. Therefore; since you asked me this question; you can say that I belong to the camp where:- 4.1. Overall; if your purpose is to try to change the facing from S2 to S1; then this can only be temporary. As ultimately; often; it will revert to the full or actual facing of the home. 4.2. A few months ago; one forum user asked whether would it be good to tilt the entire face of their home... I believe I draw a caricature of the home = easily stick out like a sore thumb in a neighbourhood with uniform facing homes. 4.3. Titling the door may be acceptable if it is directly facing a pillar or (wall). And for the advanced concept of "Castle Gate". This Castle gate theory is not for the novice. A highly skilled geomancer would be able to look into this area: especially for large buildings or business such as a hotel etc... 5. Frankly, if you were to approach some other practitioners who literally make their living giving suggestions to "tilt the home"... they may not share some of my views. 6. Again don't ask me; which camp is right or wrong. It is like a debate. In a debate; there are always two camps! Even in any war; there are two sides: World War Two: the Allies vs the Axis powers; North Vietnam vs US + South Vietnam etc... Alternatively; flip a coin: Heads or Tails! 7. There are other "tilting" methods not for the lay person. Such as placing a "special" copper or bronze metal rod; at a specific angle below the main door. Again; this is part of symbolism and one more of the methods to the "tilting" madness of Fung Sway!

Can you see the two lions guarding the entrance of Bank of China? Can you also see a person posting a letter in the "British" designed letter box? Outside the General Post Office located at the majestic Fullerton Building... Today, the Fullerton Building has been converted / refurbished into a Hotel: One Fullerton.

CHILDREN'S CORNER OR WISHFUL THINKING? This isa secret! If I were to tell you, I have to shoot you first! Erh.. lets make it Wishful thinking....

One thing is for SURE! Reflections at Keppel don't look anything close to this illustration RIGHT? Anyway, who cares! I repeat: Tower Blocks even if they look like S-H-I-T; ain't SHIT! At least they are better than most other non-tower block type of homes... Get it? Got it?

Oops!

This is pre-CNY (Chinese New Year) period. Took photos of this very useful guide to the names and photos of plants. Don't know who owns the chart but it seems; Giant always bring out this chart, yearly. So I guess the copyright belongs to them. Source and Credit: Location: Giant Hypermart, Tampines Ave 10; Singapore.

This photo was taken in Tampines, Singapore at around 7am in the morning. These elderly ladies are practising what is known as "Tai-ji fan exercises. It is interesting to hear the group of ladies flip the fan open together. The sound is like a "thunderous sound" of a platoon of soldiers standing at an attention! Why do the wrist exercise? Based on the Five Elements concept; flexing the wrist(s) is said to help improve one's liver and gall bladder. Usually, the exercise begins with the Five-element position and there is suppose to be two sets of routines each with six different stances. Did you see some of the ladies holding a fan?

I believe this is the government's first ever (Housing Development Board - a government statutory board's) foray into "condo development". This "condo" type of development has a total of three tower blocks and many do really have city views. Tower type of blocks or "point-blocks" are again a very forgiving structures. As each tower block allows air or qi to circulate in and around the entire blocks thus often; it does not sufferas much from "still" or less vibrant qi. If you take a close look at the photo image: city view5.jpg; when one steps into this development; one can see a very pleasant retro classy black and white checker-board style flooring. When we step closer to each of the blocks; it has the usual condo like card access cum intercom for added secruity. Best of all, when one steps into a unit; one could hardly be blamed for not feeling that this is but another condominium unit... And the most striking is a lovely patio balcony that can shame most of the current condominiums! Many condo units in other developments don't even have a planter or balcony; least of all such a large one... that even a full dining table fits nicely into it. And yes, some units that have a longish balcony; had two ceiling fans installed. Just imagine the size of this asset! (However, it is a waste some lower units don't have this....) One thing for sure; in a high floor e.g. 40th the views are breath-taking.. A few minutes walk to the North-East MRT line (Boon Keng Station). And yeah! The flat's not CHEAP!

This ground-floor apartment is really cluttered by so many pots and plants...

Erh? Which elements are out of sync... on the unfateful day of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami? Something has to take the blame! IT has to be a.....

Frankly, the reason, why I wanted to see a photo is to see whether is there really a need for a bagua mirror.

Frankly, this is based on plate tectonics where all the surface of earth is sitting on molten liquid and it so happens that New Zealand, is affected by two plates. These plates are like zig-saw puzzles. It occurs everywhere on our continent be it Japan; Taiwan, Indonesia; Turkey, Hawaii etc.. This is a natural occuring thing.. and scientifically, no one can yet predict earthquakes accurately; be it via scientific means; nor any other types of models. And further from the truth; scientifically; there is no correlation between say the elements and earthquake. However, indeed; someone says, IT will take the BLAME! Check out the illustration....

Frankly, in my opinion; the illustration, says it all! Or does it?
