Base on your topic description, you are asking whether you are a strong or weak person. You can use the free report:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm And in the attached sample, there is a field to indicate whether a person is strong or weak. In the attached sample, the person is considered as a WEAK EARTH person.

Please note that for Geomancy.net and all it's various calculators; for user convenience; all your inputs of any dates of birth should be western date of births. Our system will automatically convert all dates of births into the Lunar dates. This is because many people, even many younger Chinese do not know their exact lunar birth-dates.

These are some considerations: 1. No issue with a water position be it a water feature or aquarium. Even in some landed properties; an urn with lily plants and some small fishes (fishes to prevent mosquitoe breeding is ok). 2. Nowadays; the more affluent even have large sea water tanks that have slightly thicker walls. 3. Traditionally, in the past a fish tank is often used to neutralize a lamp post etc... 4. For a hobbyist, any size of fish tank is fine or ok. 5. But if for the purpose of Feng Shui; often seek advice from the Geomancer. As often if the Geomancer used proper tools such as the Flying Stars; areas that may need a water feature to neutralize it may not be effective with only a small ..say fish tank of 1feet tank. This goes for a water wealth position as too tiny a water position may not be effective and may even be considered a waste of time in the name: father, son, and holy spirit of Fung Sway!These are some considerations: 1.

I've a fs master who did a baseline of my place. He has identify a water element location.I put a standard water feature. As you know over years, water feature come and go, and i would like to replace it with a small aquarium insteadI plan to setup a small 1feet aquarium with plants and guppies only (not into arowana or difficult to maintain fanciful tanks).Does it matter if it is just a simple aquarium as long as it is quiet and clean water flow in tank ? Or must i follow fengshui books like goldfish, arowanaa, etc ?

Previous review of The Tropica for the Developer Reference: http://forum.geomancy.net/review/tropica/index.php

1. In general, based on the general concept of water in Feng Shui; for majority of homes other than those that have been determined to have UP mountain (or frontage having mountain position); 2. Generally, water feature at most sites and home's frontage are generally acceptable. 3. The only concern in water Feng Shui principles is the difference between digging a hole to place water e.g. a dug up area in the garden to place a pond. Here, if there is a mountain star #8 at the sector; this is very inauspicious; as it is like digging a hole; place water to DROWN the mountain. 4. Generally, the safest bet if one is igorant of Flying Star numbers is to simply install a water position above ground. 5. From now till 2023, of course SW is the indirect water spirit location. And if this site is located at the SW is advantages to have a water position at that space. 6. But, it seems that you are playing with language. If I get it right from you; you say that the sector is NW and within that sector, you are placing a water position at SW. This is like a wishy-washy kind of thing. Especially if the compound is small; whatever you want to call the sector, it is in my opinion, still the NW sector. 7. As I mentioned, so long as a water position above ground (for those who do not do further investigations) may be acceptable. 8. For trial and error Feng Shui; the main recourse is based on this concept:- The Customer Engineer Concept At best cross your fingers and don't do any other enhancements and wait see .... humpty dumpty sat on the wall; hopefully, he does not have a fall..... sort of thing...sitting on the fence.... 9. *Jokes* aside (refering to Para 8); the safest bet is to make sure that the water position has all the FIVE elements as laid down under the guildelines given under Para 2.1 to 2.12 of this url: http://fountain.geomancy.net 10. A water feature with all five elements is considered as "balanced" system. Much like The Dog Whisperer: Cesar Millan who often tries to help owners achieve having a "balanced dog". Got it? Get it?

1. The Tropica and Waterview @ Tampines From a Feng Shui point of view, be extra careful when buying properties especially with moving water such as an uncovered drain or canal. 2. In this case, developments such as The Tropica, Waterview and even Temasek Poly is near to an open drain (canal). 3. Based on the orientation of the sites especially the uncompleted Waterview and The Tropica; the entire site is considered facing South-West. 4. On further examination, the canal or drainage drains towards the sungei bedok: if you can see the purple marking showing the drainage towards sungei bedok. Since the two plots are facing South-West, based on Feng Shui principles; the best water flow is from right to the left of the frontage of the site. 5. For other developments, do take note this simple principle for water courses: 5.1. In a micro-level; especially for apartments, often the facing direction is the balcony view. 5.2. Stand inside the balcony and take the reading. If there is an open drainage outside of the home; for apartments that can see the drain (canal); ideally the water should best flow from right side to the left side of the balcony for facing directions of NE, SE, SW and NW. 5.3. If your facing direction is North, South, East and West, then the opposite is true. Best that the drainage is from left to the right side. (When standing inside the frontage e.g. living room or balcony looking outwards). 6. For sites such as in the example; if you intend to buy an apartment; most condo developments have a specific orientation especially in the two examples of The Tropica and Waterview where they positioned their site towards the Bedok Reservior. 7. The Bedok Reservior is a pool of water and this is an added bonus for such sites. 8. At the opposite end, there are other new developments such as Waterfront Waves and Waterfront Keys. These two sites are the closest to a canal that flows as a the tributary towards Sungei Bedok. 9. Waterfront Waves and Waterfront Key For the developments at Waterfront Waves, especially stacks highlighted in YELLOW of BLOCKS H, G and F and for Waterfront Key Block 768, these stacks are generally SOUTH facing. 9.1 Thus from the above example, stacks facing South should have water drainage from LEFT to RIGHT. But when standing in the living room looking outwards, for all these stack, unfortunately, the drainage flow is from RIGHT to LEFT. By right for South facing stacks, the drainage should instead best be from LEFT to RIGHT. Thus, based on Macro-Feng Shui, these are not the best stacks.

These are some considerations: 1. From a Shapes and Forms point of view; the main purpose of having a water position is that nothing else can often be built above the water position. Thus giving clear space. 2. Here, if it is the main entrance area, it could imply that there is a "bright" hall effect versus"clutter". Even a tree at the frontage would often cast a shadow. 3. However, if one knows the exact star(s) of the Flying Stars kind; at the frontage, then could use it to guauge what stars are at the main entrance. For example, after Chinese New Year, the annual #8 star is at West. Thus if the frontage is located at west; then a water position, there is fine or OK. 4. Do take note that a water position at the wrong location can often be detrimental. 5. What makes a good water feature: http://fountain.geomancy.net Read Para 2.1. to 2.12.

Location in Conflict is East. - Avoid having renovations done opposite the location in conflict. 2. Please use the above guidelines prior to doing renocations. 3. You wrote: My home is North facing with a natural reserve at the back (South) of the house. A creek flows through the reserve. My understanding is the back of the house should be protected (tortoise). I do have some small trees in the backyard. 3.1 Usually, the fundamental key success factor is to determine the facing direction of the home. 3.2 In some instances, the back of your home could even be the frontage or facing direction. 4. You wrote: I have changed the landscape in the East by removing some old trees. In 2012, I want to plant a hedge all along the boundary wall upto the back boundary wall. I also want to build a retaining wall on the back boundary and grow a hedge. Can I go ahead and plant a hedge along the east boundary wall and build a retaining wall along the back (south) boundary wall to plant a hedge on top, or should I wait until 2013? 4.1 If the back of the house is considered the frontage or should have clear space e.g. water star #8 under Flying Star, then it may be a detriment to plant hedges at the back area if it is now open space. 4.2 Without proper investigations, placing a mountain position wrongly can be equally just as bad. 4.3 Above reference materials shows that locations or sectors in RED should avoid renovations in 2012 or 2013. 5. Therefore, both Shapes and Forms and Flying Stars should best to looked into, for peace of mind. Otherwise, it is all trial and error....

These are further considerations: 1. It depends on the compass sector of the kitchen 2. The stove should often sit facing the female (wife's) favourable direction). 3. Frankly, a few lines of text can't do justice. 4. However, all I know from you isyousaid "the kitchen stove was facing a little of the kitchen door," and the threat that it will cause your earnings to be lesser than 50% on it's own merits is a blatant threat and one of the dirtiest tricks in the name of Fung Sway. 5. There are scientifc ways in the name of Feng Shui to assess such a situation. And it can't help that you keep on wanting to "squeeze out" information; where what you wrote were simple lines of text. How to?

1. Under symbolism, in Feng Shui, some geomancers felt that placing "living" things in the bedroom is not a good idea. 2. To them, "living things" including plants and flowers are considered yang. 3. And a bedroom is for rest = more yin condition. 4. Thus some geomancers are not in favour of having even a bouquet of flowers in the bedroom. 5. The above is based strictly on the idea of symbolism. 6. As there are three kinds of luck:- 6.1 Heaven luck (born with - Ba Zi) 6.2 Earth Luck (Feng Shui) 6.3 Human or man luck factors (own feelings) 6.4 all three equally divided gives 33.3 percent each of luck. 7. Some of us, perhaps, yourself feel very good about having such a bright coloured knitted item in your bedroom. If you feel great about it; this is generally fine as it comes more under Human or man luck factors. 8. For example, some people, don't have good ba zi; neither do they have good or excellent Feng Shui; but they have dynamism in the form of good Human or man luck factors. 9. Somethings for a family, bringing the family to a sunday brunch or meal is far better than the best Feng Shui money could buy... 10. Thus, if you feel happy with certain wordings.. there is no such thing as inappropriateness. Go ahead if it makes your day! What counts is having a good feeling and not rely too much on outsider's comments...

Please note that I mentioned that it is nice-to and not a must-have to sleep with the head facing a good direction. Another consideration is which sector is the bedroom, in. If would be even better if the sector the bedroom in is in your favourable sector. In reality, it is not like you have another bedroom to sleep in, right?

1. In my opinion, facing West is considered as "nice-to-have" and not a must-have situation. 2. Shapes and Forms is often the primary or first consideration. Here, how many of us sees a room and instinctively visualise where the bed-head would be... 3. Thus Para 2 should be the most important consideration even if it goes against Para 1. 4. The saying goes "one should not go against - nature or rather one's instincts" if you know what I mean!

1. Take a look at this link: http://www.geomancy.net/events/CDL_FS_Talk/talk_1_slide_19.htm 2. Frankly, you are only trying to apply "one miserable" concept of Feng Shui. 3. As the above link implies: there are many "styles" in Kung Fu and in Feng Shui; there are many concepts not just again : Feng Shui cannot rely only on the Eight House concept. 4. No wonder, drawing a parallel to Kung Fu, one would be beaten to a pulp if one applies one concept only... 5. The same goes, here.. 6. By "hook or by ...... " one has to apply more concepts then talk about realistic ways to either:- 6.1. Enhance qi and hey! 6.2. Also neutralise bad qi... The saying goes it takes two hands to clap..... 7. In today's modern Feng Shui:- 7.1. Shapes and Forms = a must have 7.2. Compass School: Eight house PLUS Flying Star 7.3. Ba Zi Feng Shui

In my opinion, there are two considerations: 1. Conservative School of Feng Shui: In general states that only if the foundation(s) are torn down and re-bulit on or after CNY 2004, then the site building has changed qi. 2. Liberal School of Feng Shui: 2.1. Recently we read of even more fantastic ways to "change" Period. One of which (my toes are still laughing out loud) is to move out and move in again in specific period maybe 1 year. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.... What a "sick" *joke* 2.2. Even if some who belong to the liberal school of Feng Shui; I believe those who are still sane and not senile would still say what you had mentioned: both baths and knocking down one wall on it's own will ever not change period.

1. Information about lamp post(s) http://forum.geomancy.net/resources/bbs/bbs-fishtankcure.htm and http://fountain.geomancy.net Para 2.1. to 2.12 as an alternative to the conVEX mirror, a fish tank in the house window directly facing the lamp post is a valid cure. 1.1. In Feng Shui there is no such thing as one sure method only. Often there are alternatives. 1.2. In real life, like the saying goes: All roads lead to Rome.. Even in Singapore, there are many ways to get to Orchard Road... You said: My house is also facing the gaps between 2 houses ? i.e. just opposite my house are two end-lots terrace and joint together, hence creating an ?alley? (from the side garden of the two end-lots). This 'alley' is all the way until the following street behind. Any Feng Shui advice on this matter? I shall furnish more images of this issue later on. 2. Yes, lines of text cannot do justice to anything...

In my opinion, such geomancers give Feng Shui a really bad name. And the dirtiest tricks they use are precisely what you mentioned, provide fear in the name of Fung Sway? Here, it is often not the solution, but rather, take his words literally with a pinch of salt. and lots of it!

In this example, born a few days difference from the earlier sample and this person is instead a "Weak Fire" person.

Further to what I had mentioned:- 1. The individual element depends on one's DAY of birth. 2. For example, everyone can be born in 1982 and considered as a METAL-ROOSTER. 3. This is too simplistic especially if one wants to apply it to an individual. This is also known as the dinasour method. If you are in the 1930's to 1970's and you can get tons of general books to tell you that you are a Rooster be it metal etc... 4. Thus, using the Year of birth as just like a baby or kindergarten type of analysis. 5. As one goes higher into middle school and graduate school; ba zi is based on as mentioned earlier more variables like DD / MM and more etc... 6. But ba zi is different. It depends on your DAY of birth. Thus one can be a water element or earth or metal or wood or fire again DEPENING on which day one is born. 7. Thus there is no right or wrong here. Just that how detailed or general the INPUT in is. 8. The saying goes: GARBAGE in GARBAGE out. GENERAL input; GENERAL output etc...

Frankly, what are you looking at? 1. For example, if you are looking at your GENERAL Chinese Horoscope,it is not wrong to say that 1982 is considered asa METAL-ROOSTER. Check out this Reference: http://www.lovesigns.net/horoscope/ayear/a60-80.htm 2. But if you are referring to BAZI then there could a difference. As Ba Zi takes into consideration: DD / MM / YY / HHHH and House of Life and House of Conception variables to come out with the findings. While under Para 1; you are only looking at your YEAR of birth. There ain't no DD / MM etc... etc... 3. Here, you are like comparing an Apple with a Durian. How can they be based on the same "source".

1. In theory, overall; the Finance industry is considered as belonging to the metal element. 2. Thus, from an industry stand-point; is is considered as not suitable to a weak wood element person. 3. In the past, a butcher is a butcher, a merchant is a merchant. And in the past, the industry often mimic the job scope. 4. Nowadays, often one can generally classify: The industry; one is in and the job scope of function one does. 4.1. Thus, although the industry (Finance = metal); you can further look into your job scope or function. 4.2. If your job scope is in the water element: e.g. such as Public Relationsor I.T. department; such careers beneifit the person according to the Five Elements concept. Here, water fuels wood element. 4.3. If your job scope is in the wood element: e.g. co-ordination, planning work... wood supports "weak wood" element is still better than "nothing".

No definitely not if you are taking a compass reading TOWARDS the SAME direction.

These are some considerations: You wrote: 1. if I can still activate both these stars with water and mountain feature, because star 7 is considered inauspicious now in Period 8 and I also have a base and annual star of 3(bad star) at the entrance area also, unless you meant that my house period 7 luck will continue into period 8 without any major renovation to change my house to Period 8. 1.1 In general, from 2004 to 2023, #7 and #7 x2s will continue to be a bad number: Theft and Robbery star. #7 = weak metal. 1.2 If there is an annual star = #3; this is considered as bad wood element. And under the Five elements concept: Water fuels wood. Thus, in theory, placing a water position is not a good idea. 1.3 Although water helps to reduce metal element but it can inadvertently fuel bad wood #3. 1.4. Activating "earth" or as you had asked: mountain (earth element) is acceptable in the above combination of stars. You wrote: 2. If I should not activate these no. 7 star but instead in need to place a cure, what cure should be placed here? 2.1 As the annual star will be changing shortly as CNY is just a month away; it has to depend on what annual star is at that location, if you want to fine tune the situation. 3. The North sector is also the Career sector and my husband is looking for a job since the loss in Sep, how can he improve his chances since I cannot have water feature at this location due to the affliction of annual and base star 3. How can I improve our wealth condition(I did not enjoy the wealth period of 7 because I was not aware of Feng shui to activate, etc) since I cannot activate the entrance mountain and water star or enhance the career sector. 3.1. In my opinion, what you mentioned North being the Career sector can be considered as "Kindergarten Feng Shui." If this is in the 1960's to 1970's and even early 1980's if one were told that North = Career sector; it would sound impressive and the person who provides this advice can be considered as some kind of smart alec Geomancer. 3.2. Today, with so many people (common people) who are well-read in Feng Shui principles: What you said can be considered as a Quack FUNG SWAY Master. 3.3. In the past, I had also commented that anyone who has a good command of writing: in any languange can simply write a Feng Shui book:- 3.4. For example: the book can contain something like:- Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: North: Career Chapter 3: South-West Romance etc... 3.5. Go think about it.... Even you can write such a book and publish it... 3.6. Furthermore, you have noted that there are such things as Water# Mountain# and even annual# stars. So why revert to Stongehenge Feng Shui or Kindergarten Fung Sway of North = Career??? It makes no commonsense at all. 3.6. These are some of the best practices; be it for a DIYer or someone wanting to apply Feng Shui:- Feng Shui Triage Fix-the-Leak, First! Situational Approach The Concept of Maximizing Marks The Customer Engineer Concept The Three-Step-Approach

DId you see a cable (Power supply?) leading into a horizontal rectangular box or module directly behind the circular "mystery THING?"

Location: Somewhere around Taman Jurong, Executive Mansionette. 1. While walking towards a client's home; discovered a "mystery" object (see attachment). 2. This mystery object looks like a sailing wheel; but rather thick and in chrome. 3. I saw some module behind this object with something like a coaxial cable connected to it. 4. My client said that she could sometimes hear "noise" or "sound" coming from this object. 5. Does anyone know what the object is? 6. It is pointed towards the ground, so highly unlikely to be one of those satellite dishes... and furthermore it does not look like a sat dish... ???? 7. In addition, this home placed a rather huge around 5 to 6 inches diametre bagua mirror with a conCAVE mirror. See another photo. Concave mirrors are suppose to suck "wealth" or capture good scenery...
