Further to what I had mentioned:- 1. You can read up my real life experience: "black button" incident 2. If a client specifically requests a Geomancer of his/hers to buy something e.g. a bagua mirror, no issue.

1. Yes, in doubt better go with caution on such things. 2. Try to throw it away ASAP. Wrap it up in a newspaper and throw it away. 3. It is nice-to have a Flower bath: Goto this link and follow para 8.2 ; to do a flower bath 3.1 http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=27838&new 3.2 Hope your issues are coincidental.

Further to what I had mentioned; 1. Feng Shui practitioners today and in the past are practical people. 2. As much as they like; perfection such as yours.. somewhere, somehow; things will never ever become truly perfect.. there will sure be loopholes or problem areas. 3. That is why, when building a home; many geomancers today and in the past; may concentrate on key things not the mother of all peanuts such as width of the stairway ... 4. The key areas are the mouth of the home.. such as the dimensions of the main door and door frame ... 5. Abstract ideas like number of steps. In the Forbidden cities; it is like the number 9 or 9999 rooms in the city etc.. (9 symbolises longevity..sort of thing) 6. Just observe any Master Chef; Chinese or others; they don't bring out a weighing machine or measurement cup and measure exact ingredients to their recipies.. They simply use their on-the spot judgement and create a dish. 7. How often do you see a Master Chef; measure the exact amount of soy sauce or spoonful of chilli etc..? Go think about it...

No worries. The way to look at it from a holistic approach is the "Holy trinity of Luck":- 1. Heaven Luck or born with 2. Earth Luck of home and office 3. Human Luck or personal feel good factors and relationships /support. Each factor only accounts for say 33.33333 percent of all the total luck. As I always mentioned; some don't have fantastic earth luck; but have good positive feelings etc.. this can overcome other factors. Stumbling blocks are: auto-suggestion and self-fullfilling prophecy. In fact, you have regret reading too much of this "directional stuff". Sometimes; not knowing is better than knowing.. the "bad news". If you are not aware of it; I am sure you will go about doing your own "business" and not be too concerned about where you sit and face! Like we say; scold a lamb and it does not understand you.. Bah bah bah bah.. but think "great thoughts" of it and some of us; gets unease.. sort of thing...

1. Please do a search from the top-left frame of this forum and you can find links like:- http://forum.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-ruler.htm 2. If one is sincerely over crazed by the "Feng Shui ruler" then the most productive method is go buy one. Nowadays, most of the newer ones follows the "correct" one. As in the past; there are lots of variations. 3. A Feng Shui ruler always have two zones: the top most is meant for "craze" people who are still living i.e. For all sorts of good mesaurements for the living such as you wanted i.e. width of staircase etc... and diameter of the room. 4. Most Feng Shui ruler has a lower zone. In the above link the bottom most zone measurements is for the dead. The newer Feng Shui ruler has two zones in the middle. The upper most zone is for the living. While the lower zone is for the dead. 5. The only consideration is that especially for an altar (where the living prays upon and the dead) deities sit on; both the two zones must be auspicious or in the RED. All black zones are inauspicious. 6. Frankly, few in Feng Shui would go to the extreme extend of making every dimensions "perfect" or near perfect e.g. width of staircase, room measurements. Anyway, don't get me wrong.. if one wants to; it is nice to have. 7. For larger dimensions; try to go for multiples of the Feng Shui foot: 17 inches or approximately 43 cm. 8. A 17 inches by 17 inches square = forms two equal triangles = magic square... Go read above link on the Feng Shui ruler. 9. For those who have a "craving" for everything auspicous dimensions; should venture into the Indian art of Vastu. As in India; some Vastu practitioners have like yourself - but they have made buildings with auspicious dimensions. 10. Here, Chinese Feng Shui is more practical. As tell me; how many of us nowadays build their own home. And if so, how many design the specifications for our own home... Hmm... how nice if you are a Chinese and the first... to do us "proud".. hahahahaha...

Please note that you asked : "any workarounds if one cannot face a good direction". I have replied: Bang your head against the wall; also no use. It has nothing with what you said; below. Thus, if one can't face a good direction; you mean you go to one of those Fung Sway shops and go buy some ornaments or a ton of them and litter onto your table. This sort thing.

These are some of the considerations:- You wrote: 2.2 I found that the only suitable place for us to move the main door is at the north sector, but it would face NE or NW, which are both unauspicious direction. Is there any suggestions? Reply: Shifting the main door is often temporary. Furthermore; one has to take extra care in shifting the door as the wrong angle or degree is not beneficial. You wrote: 2.1 Our house is facing SW, kitchen at S, and toilet at E, Living room NE. I did propose to renovate the house so that it incorporate with the Bazi and the 8 Mansion's auspicous place, but both my parents are against it. Is the a way to Lower the effect? Reply: You have draw a Flying Star chart and analyse it with the above. Any sectors that have imbalance or qi can be enhanced, could help to maximise the luck of the home without renovations. There are some homes that are like unpolished gem. For example, good qi sectors are in the right place. And activating them; can or may do wonders to one's Earth Luck (Feng Shui). However, some homes are like 10 year old : 1,000 cc car; no matter how one tries to squeeze out luck from these homes; or if one wrongly activates; then this may not be too good. Feng Shui is a holistic approach and unfortunately; is only the tip of the iceberg. A proper holistic approach requires say drawing out the various charts; putting on one's thinking cap to find out what can help to improve the home. Thus, if I am not wrong; from the way you wrote; and if you intend to take the D.I.Y. path; there are lots more learning curve that you need to conquer.

1. There is no known cure for this concept:- The Three-Step-Approach 2.However, only lesser men place objects on their table. And this has more to do with psychology ormaking one "feel good" plus making the seller of such product(s) extremely elated and happy. 3. In fact, go bang one's head against the wall - also nouse. 4. Better off : The Concept of Maximizing Marks

These two homes : Number 29 and 31 are related as one Qi Lin sits on one of the pillars of number 29 and the other on 31. These two qi lins (Chi Lins) got to be the darkest and largest on any main gate pillars. Thus the "mother of all qi lins"... Did you notice that House Number 29 also has a smaller tiny golden Qi Lin on the main gate pillar?

Further to what I had mentioned, a very simple way to remember yin stars is that they are even number.. Thus, #2, #4, #6 and #8 or any of such combinations in a sector would imply that the sector has "excessive" Yin stars. Thus, if a sector has say MS#2 with WS#6 and base star #4; then one has to be extra careful of leaving such a room empty or dim. For example, an unoccupied bedroom with such stars especially on low floors e.g. 2nd storey; has a higher chance of "attracting" the wrong kind.. Especially is true if in addition; such a room falls within the SW or NE sector of the home. Or such stars are located in a closet... There are many known hauntings or "cold spots" attributing to enclosed areas such as a closet and often, such a room would have the tell tale sign(s) of "excessive" yin stars. Thus if the closet has yang stars such as #1; #3 and or #5 and or #9; less likely of such an issue.

Under Flying Star Feng Shui; this is known as "excessive Yin" stars. Thus if a room has excessive Yin stars; it could attract spirits. http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=25373&new== Try to do a search for Haig Road... I told a story about a case where the entire apartment at 2nd storey was left unoccupied and ......... the old owner left some figurines in the apartment.. the new owners kept them...

This thread or Topic: Photo Tour of Interests has detailed resources of all kinds or "Mother of all" Ba Gua mirrors.. This is Part I of the resources on this subject.. there are many more parts to this types of Ba gua mirror saga. http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=10391 In Hokkien; it is also called "Pakua" mirror. So if you come upon a resource of Pakua or Ba Gua or BaGua mirror; then they are one and the same....

These are some of the considerations: 1. If you are purely looking at countering the neighbour's mirror; than by tradition; if their mirror isa conVEX one; 2. The counter is a conCAVE mirror. 3. The bagua trigram on the neighbour's bagua has more to do with "scaring" spirits away; and the charm is part of this arena. 4. Thus, the attachment shows a sample of a plain conCAVE mirror to counter the conVEX one. 5. Such mirrors (as shown in your photo) and my photo comes in TWO sizes. From what I can tell; the one you took is approximately 3 inches; if so, try to obtain a conCAVE mirror that is similar in size approximately 3 inches. There is a slightly larger one for both of these. But try to use the same size mirror it one wants to counter "it". 6. Last resort is a flat mirror; but as mentioned as a "last resort" if cannot find a similar mirror. There is no need to use one with the ba gua trigram and a concave mirror in the middle... as you don't intend it to be for para 3...

In general (very general); up to 2023; SW is the indirect water spirit location; thus; generally, a water position there may / or most probably is OK or acceptable. As for water position at East.... beyond this Free General Advice forum.

These are some of the considerations: 1. A picture or sketch tells a thousand words = none. 2. What kind of altar is it? 2.1. A Catholic altar? 2.2. A typical Chinese altar? Even within the Chinese altar; there are many groupings:- 2.2.1 Ancestor altar 2.2.2Guan Gong (usually face the main door) 2.2.3Guan Yin (Goddness of Mercy) 2.2.4Jade Emperor etc... 3. Even buddha "altar". 4. Indian pooja or puja room / altar. 5. In general; an altar:- 5.1. Should not have it's back against a toilet wall 5.2. facing a bedroom 5.3. Preferred that it should not be at the NE or SW sector of a home 5.4. Placed below abeam There are LOTs more.. just that my fingers need to crawl somewhere to complete my other tasks...

Futher to what I had mentioned; frankly, this is beyond this forum. As the neighbour's mirror could / or maybe could be only a contributing factor to you and partner's woes.... The reasoning is based on Feng Shui Triage

Let statistics do the talking....

These are futher considerations:- 1. When buying low floors; besides the other considerations I had mentioned e.g. rubbish dump area / power station; service road leading to covered car-park: 1.1. For low floors; try to imagine whether considering the purchase of a unit close-by to the club-house may have external threats... 1.2. External threats can be trellises; or even the roof of the club house et... 1.3. Tree trunks slicing into the living room or other rooms or areas of the home..

Further to what I had mentioned; 1. If one has a habbit of not leaving the main entrance door open nor intend to do so; then automatically, the facing direction is usually the area or facade that has the most light coming in as well as the greater the number of windows at this facade the greater the chance of qi coming in. 2. Thus often, the stack facing is a higher probability of it considered as the "facing" direction. 3. In terms of ranking via the Flying Star Feng Shui; 3.1. Best facing directions from now Period 8: upto 2023 are:- 3.1.1. Ranked 1: South-West (but in this development; the North-East may seem to be the better choice) if the SW does not oversea a pool or do not have as much a good view as North-East facing units. 3.1.2. Ranked 2: South (As mentioned previously; for this development; South coincides with the "pool view" for some of the units. 3.1.3. Others: In general; North facing homes have only a good star at the frontage and other sectors of the home are littered with lots of bad flying stars. So is NE or SE facing units. 4. For low floors, especially ground or 1st storey; units near to the club house; do look into whether the club-house shape e.g. corner of the club house edge acts like a shar qi or poison arrows. 5. Check how the cars enter into the basement car-park and whether it has any effects on an apartment one is considering = especially for low floor units. And how cars driving on the service road entering say the common car park pose noise issues. 6. Check where is the power station / rubbish dump area. 7. Look at the other development (and if it is also not completed) yet; try to imagine whether there are "ugly" views or poison arrows coming from sharp angles from own development or external development. 8. As mentioned in my first message; check against the dreaded afternoon sun. Whether it soaks into an unseen wall or filters into the home... (if any).

1. In general, try to avoid units facing the main road: Bedok Reservoir Road: have not gone into detalls but under Period 8; North stack facing directions are not the best. 2. In this development; the South facing would be the most popular; given that under this period South facing have the better qi (up to 2023). - Of course, pool view would be more expensive; and concindentally, many of the South facing especially S2 and S3 are good choices even if one is a west group. 3. From an eye-ball look; there should be some NE facing flats... these can be considered. SW is another consideration. 4. Again, just imagine where the afternoon sun comes into the development and take this into consideration for the purchase.

1. Please go and examine this resource:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Three-Step-Approach 2. Usually, this concept has more to do with things like: I have not bought a home, yet; or I would like to build or construct a brand new home. 3. For example; you have to face reality: 3.1. You bought a green Toyota Camry. And some joker tells you that car colour is no good for you. So, what cure is there? If you want a cure; then respray the colour of your car! You mean you want to stick a bagua mirror on the car or something else as crazy as this? 3.2 Even if you bang your head against the wall; hoping for a cure; I believe; if one were to ask God; help me... he will say.. so sorry... it is even beyond, me... 4. So how? I have bought this home, stayed in; so you want me to move out? 5. Goread up this article:The Concept of Maximizing Marks 6. Look at it this way; 50 percent are east group and 50 percent are west group. Statistically speaking; even today, many are in your shoes... And if you are applying Fung Sway; then The Concept of Maximizing Marks; makes sense please. 7. Frankly, there is nothing confusing, here. Tell me; if you room is in a good sector well and fine. But if it is not; pray to God and ask for the home to rotate or change the internal organs of the home.

Thanks for the photo. However; can't really make out what is the mirror at the centre of the ba gua. To me; it seems to look like a conVEX mirror. There is a difference between conVEX and conCAVE mirror. ConVEX is a mirror that protudes like a gold fish eyes; while a conCAVE is literally curved inwards; which is which? Thanks!

These are some of the considerations:- 1. One of the most critical concerns (if any) is an unexpected accident; as we all know; I have seen many cases recently of reckless cars and even heavy transport "skidding" into dividers; into bus stops and into anything that the cars or vans or trucks "could get it's hand in". 2. This is commonsense and one of the chief concerns of many. 3. Thus, as you had described; especially the home is not at a dangerous turn and the apartment is at 2nd storey; Para 1; happening is next to impossible for that apartment. 4. Noise pollution This is subjective. Some can live with some noise while others may feel uncomfortalbe over it. 5. Unease driven issues... 5.1. Just imagine, if you or your family members is concerned with an apartment at or close to the junction; what would others feel also. This has more to do with feelings. If one feels an unease; all the time then; it ain't good. As this would affects a person's Human "luck" i.e. feel good or bad factor. 6. In Singapore, most HDB landscaping is a blessing in disguise and most of what you and everyone else feels is thus more of a Human factor; then Feng Shui. 7. Ultimately, if you have concerns; in the future; should you want to sel the apartment; you may meet the same sort of resistance. 8. Usually Can or cannot buy; is about comparing one apartment with another apartment. Thus, this is a standalone and there is no other apartment to compare with. 9. For most people; always bring along family members to view the apartment. And if there is a remote chance of afternoon sun; do visit the apartment around late afternoon; and make sure that the air-con is not turned on. I believe this is not an issue usually for a 2nd storey level flat. What is more disturbing usually is or could be the noise level generated by traffic. 10. Do take note that roads with cars are like water courses and if a real audit is done; often, this involves looking at the "flow" of water ... whether it is OK or inauspicous for a home (apartment).

In my opinion; for this year, the red night-light is sufficient. No need a wind-chime nor additional metal cure at that sector.

Reference: http://talk.geomancy.net These are some considerations:- 1. In general, somehow for convenience; an industry is slotted into a specific element. Thus, in general; oil as you had mentioned is considered as belonging to the fire element. While in general, transportation is considered as belonging to the wood industry. 2. Frankly, there is no right or wrong answers; Look at where we are today! We are in the age of "multi-tasking" and "multi-skilling". 3. Therefore, there is really no end to the various (if what questions) like we transport oil so what should we be considered? What happens if one is transporting milk? What industry should that be in. Or we are transporting food from warehouse to our chain of macdonalds restaurant. 4. There are so many variations; 5. First and foremost; DIY. Go DIY route. Go master the Five Elements and go figure out what you think this or that belongs to. So long as you can have good justification; no one can fault you. 6. Furthermore, under Strategic Management considerations; on one hand there is the industry one is in; and also there can be someone with a specific task. 7. Thus, now for me to ask you a question: What if I am in a control room running a set of automated trains carrying oil... You go figure it out.. instead of .. asking me to figure it. 8. There are endless permutations and types of careers and job specifications. 9. As I had mentioned previously; take a job like the CEO's job. Many CEO's are in-charge of everything from HR (recruitment, promotion, firing); he may also be incharge of the Production department; he is also incharge of Marketing and Sales; he is in-charge of Legal, and accounting. He is also in-charge of growing the company. 10. The morale of the story, here is that in modern times; most persons would have to deal with more than one job function. No point figuring out what the industry is or may be or could be. Zoom in into the specific or main job duties of the person. And expect to justify your reasoning. 11. For example, maybe, in ancient times; a butcher is a butcher; a cook is a cook; but nowadays, with multi-skilling; everything is expanded. 12. I repeat; there is no right or wrong answer; and each person's job specifications may differ accordingly. 13. The worst case senario is to reverse engineer: Think which career is suppose to be auspicious and work around the career to fit it as becoming auspicious career to that person.... Anyway, all these are "small things" or peanuts. One is not going to achieve great things by constantly considering; is my current job right ....
