1. Please see attachment. 2. Marking in RED "A' is an actual beam. And in Chinese metaphyics, this beam can exert negative qi downards to the ground. 3. See marking GREEN "B". The overhead support has it's load transferred to the side wall. Thus, it should not be considered as a beam as defined under Para 2, above that caused sha qi. Note: While it is true that both marking A and B are supported by horiziontal support ceiling; marking B unlike A is also supported by vertical or side wall. And the main load is forced down towards the side-wall.

1. Further to what I had mentioned; between blocks facing North vs South; in GENERAL; South facing blocks WITH SW facing stacks (units) are suppose to have far more superior qi than North facing blocks with NE or NW stacks. 2. This is theoritcally true from now to 2023. Usually, such luck will wane from 2021 onwards. 3. One of the main considerations is that SW as mentioned in an earlier message is the indirect water wealth location. And if also one's balcony is at this area; one can even enjoy further boost in wealth. (Again note that health has to be balanced for NE and SW apartments). 4. Thus even in such a small development; there is a vast difference between a block facing North vs South; and stacks facing SW / NE or NW / SE. And even under Para 3, it makes a world of a difference if one's balcony is at SW vs it instead as a bedroom. 5. As most kitchen are at the "back" of the apartment; please take note that especially SW and SE apartments: Best to avoid the Kitchen especially the stove at NW : Fire at heaven's gate which usually has a detrimental effect on the male breadwinner's career - and with that can trigger off marital issues. 6. Again, what I mentioned is purely based on micro Feng Shui i.e. just imagining the interior - without knowing what is the view outside; or a major road facing the balcony / bedooms or even the dreaded afternoon sun or even which level the apartment is. 7 As I mentioned, nowadays; especially from 2008 onwards, I have seen a 250 percent increase (many from referrals) and looking at PRO-ACTIVE Feng shui vs Passive Feng Shui. 8 Nowadays, many are Pro-active in getting Feng Shui advice at the Can or cannot buy stage. Vs many who only after buying apply "passive Feng Shui". This is one of the key success factors and apparently it has now almost become part of the culture amongst many Chinese and even Indian in Singapore. 9. In Singapore environment, geomancers are already used to visualizing Feng Shui of developments before they have been built. Thus, it does not mean that a flat has to be in bricks and mortar before Feng Shui can be done. The only difference is that for ground floor to especially 2nd or 3rd storey; there may be an impact from street lamps and "T" junctions or roads or tree trunks... etc....

1. More importantly, although each block is facing north; each stack in this unique V shaped (or diamond) shaped building is slanted towards either NW, NE, SE or SW. In general, other than the view from individual stacks/ units; and afternoon sun:- These flats can still be ranked:- Number 1 = SW (usually, gets the most "direct" afternoon sun in the living and some bedrooms) Number 2 = NE (usually morning sun) Last resort = NW or SE 2. Since it is a new development, if given a choice between different levels or storeys; one can use this report to decide which stack is better:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/hselist-houseno.htm 2.1 Please note that the above report looks briefly on ly at the Vertical Flying star, and it does not take into consideration the Horizontal = 20 Year Flying Star Feng Shui. 2.2 Actually, the best qi are often the lower floors. For example, such flats do not have ground floor. Most millionaires and billionaires live on the ground (ground floor and the most = with rooms at 2nd or 3rd storey). But, in apartments, as we all know, most people prefer higher floors : the view, more costly = better FS? some think that way and equally important is the resale value. 3. As no two apartments are the same; firstly when changing homes:- 3.1 It is good to consider some of the pointers under this url: http://www.geomancy.sg Nowadays, in the last 4 years, many have began to seek Can or cannot buy advise, first. 3.2 Usually, as you had mentioned in your first message; it would be detrimental to get a new apartment and only later find it to have poor Feng Shui or hard to correct sort of Feng Shui. 4. Usually, any characteristics of a home can be studied via Feng Shui to bring out the optimium e.g. choosing a Period 8 2004 onwards apartment with SW or NE facing... would be less of an uphill task then to try and squeeze out luck from say a NW or SE "facing" apartment. 5. Another consideration: In my opinion, there is no such thing as a perfect home unless one try to build it. Many homes or apartments would have some flaws e.g. toilet at the centrepoint. What makes the difference is say a SW vs a NW (in 2003 = hard luck house) for example.

Dear Kenny, 1. Frankly, based on the siteplan of the Dawson site, the best units are by ranking (standing inside the unit facing outwards):- Ranking 1= SW facing : Between now to 2021 ... up to 2023 for wealth, one of the best facing directions. As this facing direction can tap the indirect water wealth - clear space for better wealth luck. BUT do take note that in many instances, the living room and study or additonal bedrooms can be facing the west afternoon sun. 2 = NE facing: Next best choice after SW facing Usually affected by morning sun - not as bad as afternoon sun. Overall, good to apply Feng Shui if not, health issues can appear for these two SW or NE facing apartments. Both SW or NE will not be affected by the toilet at the centrepoint. Not that fantastic: Ranked last (last resort)for this development = SE or NW facing Overall, only the facing directions of these flats are good. Other than that the flying stars in each sector of the other areas of the home - are not so fantastic. 4. Thus, overall these are my general observations for the Built to Order (Dawson area). 5. Please note that the above comments does not take into consideration such things as premium matured estate (which costs more to buy) nor take into consideration things like unit or block numbers with 13 or 4 or 44 or 444 which some deemed not "auspicious" numbers.

Please refer to this url page:- http://www.geomancy.net/info/ House Related [ PDF ] - Getting Keys for the First Time / Initial Opening Door Rituals [ PDF ] - Move-In Rituals If one missed or have not done the First Time / Initial Opening Door Rituals may consider doing the second one i.e. Move-In Ritual. For example, skip the first time procedure and go for the second Move-in rituals.

Frankly, this type of layout plan has been around for quite sometime:- 1. Usually in order for extremely poor earth luck (Feng Shui); a home or apartment always have more than 3 major leaks. 2. For example, in most instances; if a home (or apartment) has no other major "leaks"; such a toilet at the centrepoint is sustainable. Only when there are lots of leaks, then, the situation pile up. 3. This type of layout plan is pretty common with newer HDB flats at Bukit Merah etc...

1. Frankly, it is more physiological or in the mind then being below an actual beam. 2. It is true that many HDB flats have a similar indent as shown in your picture. But imagine this, by the time our head is placed on a pillow, it is or definitely away from this small overhead beam. 3. For example, many beds have a bed-head. And a bed-head is often at least 1 to 3 inches thick. And if we consider the pillow, our head will never be belong such a "beam". So frankly, no worries, here.

In my opinon, quite a "sweet" friendly well-endowed qi lin on a home's gate pillar. Chinese call it Qilin while the Japanese call it Kirin.

1. Documentaries showing the wanton slicing of a sharks fin and then throwing the shark back into the sea - is very cruel way to die. 2. Let's try to make an effort to eat less of Sharks Fins. When the buying (eating) stops the selling can. 3. Took this picture; display of a large sharks fin in a restaurant in Singapore, a few days ago.

1. House number report or known as Vertical Flying Star Feng Shui is often used:- 1.1. Especially for new developments where many flats (apartments) are available in many stacks (floors). Thus if there are available units #20 or #26 or #27 etc... this report can be used to see which floor (storey) has better qi. 1.2. This report can also be looked at in conjunction with other tools like which Flying Star direction is better etc... 1.3. It is based on the interaction or 81 combinations of the Mountain and Flying Star. Frankly what else do you want of this house number report? It simply already says what it means. Marge S. wrote: House Number : #26-0 House Period : 7 (1984-2003) 81 Interpretation [5] & [6] - Prosperity. I would very much like to know what this means about my house number. thanks and much appreciated. Marge Santos

1. Further to what I had mentioned, mastery of the Five Elements Concept is important. 2. In addition, types of cure(s) also depends on the sector. For example, it would be fool hardly to place a water feature in say a bedroom. Thus some geomancers recommend other cures e.g. Fire and Wood. Here, fire can be presented by light or even red colour etc... 3. I don't need to elaborate more, but for those with a close eye or have a basic understanding of the Five Elements concept (productive and destructive) can easily note the LINK between those in PURPLE. This is why some Geomancers use this association as a cure for #7(s). And it can futher explain why none of the geomancers "touch" or use earth as a cure. As earth only further fuels metal. 4. It would be wrong for say a geomancer to claim that his/her cure is the best. The best cure depends on the sector and even things like the palace /base flying star number and even yearly stars etc.....

1. It all boils down to the understanding of the Five Elements concept be it the productive cycle & /or destructive cycle and time dimensions in Flying star Feng Shui. 2. In the period 1984 to 2003; the reigning Flying Star period = 7. And according to this senario; during that period #7 is considered an auspicous number. As it is considered as the current prosperity star. 3. Thus in Period 1984 to 2003; double #7's are considered very auspicious and for such locations; again during that period double #7's can be further enhanced by WATER. 4. Now we are in Period 8: from 2004 to 2023. And #7 while it was good in Period 7; has now turned "bad" or reverted to it's number = "Thieft or robbery star". What this means is that one may not literally be robbed; but rather; often missed opportunities or things don't go well - that often. 5. Under the Five Elements concept #7 is considered as weak metal. 6. And wood can help to further "weaken #7". While water can help to further draw out metal - again further weaking it. 7. Some geomancers further fine tune the "cure" with the palace or base star. 8. Thus, there is no right or wrong answer. For example, in many instances; there are many ways to reach a location. 9. For example, in Singapore, if I want to go to Parkway Parade from Hougang. I can either use the new Kallang Paya Lebar expressway or go thru Defu/Eunos/Still Road or via the longer Tampines Express Way or several other roads that link up to it. 10.Thus it is good to have mastery of the Five Elements concept and understanding of the time dimension in Feng Shui in order to understand why such and such a cure was used by different practitioners! 11. To say or claim that one solution is the best solution or confused with the fact that there are so many "solutions" by various people implies that many of these may be wrong. It is likea bad workman blames their tool. Far from it. It is a lack of total understanding .. that may result in this misunderstanding. 12. So long as one provides a good argument using these two concepts; they may be technically feasible! 13. Again, you mentioned fire & wood. Under the Five elements concept; fire can help to melt metal ie. #7 and again it can be used in conjunction with wood to weaken metal. 14. Water can be used to drown double #7's under this current flying star period. But, one has to look also at a location to see if such a cure is or not appropriate. If it a bedroom, it is looney tunes to place a water feature in a bedroom. Thus, the fire and wood cure may be a better solution in such an instance or a combination of wood and water. 15. Again, mastery of the Five elements concept or understanding it is crucial. Why wood and fire?Under the productive cycle: Wood supports fire. Why water and wood? Under the productive cycle: Water supports wood. That is why, some geomancers choose to use such cures. And a link to metal is : fire melts metal while "weak" metal get blunt from "chopping wood". Get the picture?

Sorry, cannot comprehen your message. Please elaborate or attach a simple sketch. Thanks.

1. Yes, Feng Shui is indeed an in-exact science. 2. In my opinion, water-mountain stars with it's 81 combinations are more widespread. And period is also considered under this overall assessment.

Anonymous wrote: 1. In view of fengshui, what advice would you have for sleeping direction with the leg facing a bay window? Is there any concern as we intend to have the room set up for the parents who are in their old age. 1. It depends. For many developments the bay windows have a half wall and above this is the bay window. In such a situation, there is no issue or concern. 2. However, if the entire bay window and the lower portion is made of glass; then if symbolically, if one's legs face this window; it is considered inauspicious:- 2.1. This is the coffin position when legs face an "opening" 2.2. Commonsense: usually lower part of the body is "exposed" thru the bottom window of the bay window. Thus, especially if one is living on the first level or 2nd level, people walking below the unit can have a full view of the inside of the room - including the lower half of the body. 3. Otherwise, it can easily be solved by placing say a "matt" or opaque film over the glass or draw down the day curtain. Anonymous wrote: 2. What is your advice of a water curtain acting as a partition between the main door and the balcony, (a sliding door separate the living room and the balcany)? Which direction should the water be flowing, the side facing the main door or the side facing the living room/balcony? 4. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, it is considered inauspicious for water to flow either towards the "outside" of the home via the main door or vice versa thru the balcony area. 5. Another consideration is the Flying Star Feng Shui. Where an analysis of where is the water wealth location is; or that if this location happens to have the mountain star and you wrongly activate water.. this is rather bad. Thus it depends on what flying star numbers are associated with that sector. 3. Ourunit is near to a little bamboo garden, is this good? Our unit is on the higher floor where the bamboo garden is on the groundfloor 6. Again, other than trial by error Feng Shui, there is such a thing as Flying Star Feng Shui to determine whether the bamboo garden is suitable or not. For example, if the area or garden is influenced by bad wood #3 Quarrels, conflicts, lawsuits, gossips and if the garden is at that sector, then it is not so good. 7. Thus, one of the main tools is to apply Flying Star Feng Shui to analyse whether a sector can or cannot accept certain elements or colours or associations. Other than that then.. throw a dice?

If one has one's own garden, it is advisable not to anyhow place unknown scultures such as those in some of the pictures taken in the Imperial garden. This is because; under symbolism in Feng Shui, we try to avoid any objects that may look like "hungry mouths" or monster looking figurines.... these are considered inauspicous especially if their mouths are aimed towards one's home.

A walk in the Imperial Gardens of the Forbidden city yields: very beautiful trees and most importantly; stones landscaped by the weather. Emperors would walk in the garden and ponder over the various shapes of these stone formations. Standing at different angles viewing some of the landscape art maylet a person to visual different objects.

This lovely tree is at the fringe of the Forbidden City: Imperial Garden. This tree with lots of "twists and turns" is very popular with Chinese paintings by famous authors...

Yang Xing Zhai = Study of the cultivation of nature This two storey building was built in the form of the Chinese character that echoes with Jiang Xue Xuan = Pavilion of crimson and white. This building is secluded and has beautiful surroundings. Emperors JaiQing and Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty came here very often to have a rest or to read. It was also here that Sir Reginald Johnston, an Englishman gave English lessons to the abdicated last Emperor Pu Yi.

In this example, a partition (may) or could or can be placed without creating internal sha qi or poison arrow aimed towards say the dining table.

In some layout plans such as this; it is considered inauspicious to place a partition (as highlighted in yellow)....

Jewelry of the Ming period More than 200 pieces of jewelry were unearthed from Ding Ling. Majority are hair pins and eardrops; made with gold, silver, pearl and precious stones. The patterns on these items are mostly of good luck and happiness. The workmanship is superb, almost reaching near perfection.
