1. As I mentioned, in the previous message; if Feng Shui is to be applied; usually it is based on Para 2... e.g. Flying Star Feng Shui and/or in the Far East, if a place has good Shapes and forms Feng Shui; it can sell by itself. 2. If you are especially say in the US, housing market is pretty stale at the moment with tons of homes on foreclosure and many uanble to get proper loans. 3. Honestly, Feng Shui is not a cure all. Only those that has been mentioned in my last msg (refer to Para 2 of that msg) and under Para 1, of this msg.

These are some of the considerations:- 1. For a new development - yet to be completed.. have a mental picture of where the aftersun rays fall. 2. Even in a afternoon sun facing unit: visualise whether the sun rays are going to fall on the unit between 12pm ... usually if partially blocked by another near-by unit: afternoon sun is most likely between 12pm towards 2 to 3pm. If fully unblocked; afternoon sun can bathe that part of the home (wall or windows) from 12pm to 5pm - this is pretty hot. 3. What material is facing the afternoon sun? If the walls are thin prefabricated walls or just one layer of brick walls bathed by the afternoon sun, even at 7 to 8 pm; heat can still slowly ooze out of the wall ---- thus turning on fan does not help. May have to turn on air-con if one does not want to be affected by the heat.. at night. 4. For re-sale apartments; always become very suspicious if you are viewing the home in the late afternoon say around 4pm and the owner or agent turns on the air-conditioning in the home. 4.1. There are many instances, where the afternoon sun is not visible to the eye but is bathing one of the walls in a home. For example, it could be the wall shared by the master bed. In the past, had some clients; mentioned regret in that they did not "discover" this "issue" ... and only after they moved in; they discovered the problem. 4.2. Some home owners "mask" the heat by placing e.g. the entire wardrope onto that wall. And placing their bed-head on the opposite direction. If you find the bedroom arrangement - in particular the wardrope at what you feel may not be in the "correct" position; visualise where the afternoon sun comes in or onto the unit's exterior. Use a compass as a guide. 4.3. As the earth axis is tilted at an angle; every six months; the sun rays will change. In the first six months; the rays may not come in so "deep" into say the living or bedroom; but next six month's time; it may even penetrate deeper or if one is lucky further away.. just take note of this. 5. In Singapore, for those with young children; from Primary 3 onwards, these children go to school in the morning and come back home in the afternoon. 5.1 Most adult would be happily working in an air-conditioned environment (assuming you are a white colour worker)... while the child's bedroom may be facing the afternoon sun. And often, the child, the master bedroom and even the living room faces this dreaded afternoon sun. 5.2. Turning on the miserable fan does not help to cool the home. While air-con is good but how many can afford to turn on air-con the whole day-night? 5.3. Try studying in a hot environment and it would be a contributing factor in a child's perhaps "unable to concentrate" for too long ... sort of thing. 6. In the evening, when the heat still oozes thru the walls into the home; there is a likelyhood that one may experience more quarrrels due to being irritated by the "heat". 7. In my opinion, in many situations; a home with huge walls (one layer) bathed by afternoon sun .. would ooze .. heat... as late as into 8 pm.... especially on a hot day in Singapore. In fact, if the facade is made of glass and if uv film is added; this cools much faster than the wall. 8. For some bedrooms, even if we can uv protect the windows; many of the curtains are not "uv" certified. In a bedroom, many often open the windows.. and definitely let in the rays of the sun. Fortunately, Chinese (yellow skin) and other races in Singapore have lesser issues with skin cancers as compared to the whites which have fairer skin - and comparably more prone to skin cancer. 9. However, as for cataract in the eyes; all races can be affected equally... if we always get afternoon sun exposure or even morning sun exposure. 10. These are some of the reasons why when we see advertisements in newspapers; some may indicate: This home is North-South facing - implies that it is not a "hot" home or apartment. 11. This is why, even if we belong to the west group; we cannot blindly buy just any home without due consideration of the afternoon sun.

My curtains are not UV protected. My Windows are equally not UV protected. "Son", why is half-your body tanned? You looked like a two-toned person?

These are some of the many resources on the topic of afternoon sun:- 1. http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=29&mid=23289&new= 2. http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=29&mid=25003&new= 3. http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=22236&new= 4. http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=15616&new=%3EHouse%20Hunting%20:%20A%20Lot%20Position%20-%20%3Cem%3EFeng%20Shui%3C/em Use the SEARCH feature on the TOP left of the LEFT-side frame if you need more examples....

These are some of the considerations:- 1. In gambling e.g. in casino(s); much of your luck dependsboth on the "location" - no longer your home and in most instances weightage goes to the house. 2. For your own home; Yes, you can still try to squeeze out some luck: especially activating Mountain star #8 and even Water star #8 as these are your current prosperity stars. 3. In addition, since you are into"gambling" you need to consider disarming both #3 = quarrels, scandals, lawsuits ... and #7 "robbery" star i.e. robbed of opportunity to win each time. 4. If you can take note of the annual stars; it would be great. But usually, if the home has already been "balanced" or Feng Shuied for the overall 20 year flying star average then taking note of the annual stars is an added bonus. 5. As it is not possible to take note of all the annual star numbers; one "trick" is to try to located the MONTHLY Star #8 (instead of annual) for greater accuracy and activating it as an added bonus or advantage.

Attached, please see illustration on the best location for the concave mirror:- 1. The best location is around "waist" level which is often immediately below the frame of the window sill. 2. Not just this illustration; but be-ware! All concave mirror(s) must not exceed 3 1/2 inches else may result in frequent quarrels in the household. 3. In addition, cannot be too greedy: Placing more than ONE concave mirror. 4.In theattached illustration; avoid placing it anywhere within the "purple" coloured zone.

I not only can tell you that you have ups or downs; in addition; you have more DOWNS than UPS in your life! WOW! Impressive rite?

The Mee sua when uncooked is very brittle and thin. It is made of rice flour. Some offer it in a "tower-form" during their offerings to the GOD.

1. If one is trying to DIY; then one of the first report(s) especially for the Male and Female breadwinner(s) should be considered:- The Eight House Report: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-8h.htm Usually, from this report; especially the Male breadwinner's best facing direction should be considered. 2. The forum has lots of resources like what is considered as the facing direction etc... 3. Question like should the master bedroom be suitable to the Male breadwinner or sometimes both male and female breadwinners have different directions, then what? 4. If you want to DIY, you really (really) have to be patient and read up lots of resources. 5. For those who "work smart" is often thru the most recent trend (in the last few) years of getting Feng Shui service available from many Geomancers. In simple terms it is "Can or cannot buy this ... unit" type of service. 5.1. Often one really likes a home and calls a Geomancer to give advice on the spot. And many even after just one session; would be able to better understand what to look out for next. 5.2. Else as I mention, there is no way, such a question can be answered thru one message.

1. In real life situations; it is the interaction of the home Feng Shui with one's ba zi element. 2. Thus, most people would normally: "wear" the favourable colours in their HOME. For example, if one has a child, one would "wear" the favourable colours onto the child's bedroom. For example: the colour of the walls, curtains and bedsheets. Or when buying a car, many would also consider the choice of car colours suitable to their ba zi. 3. In many instances, many people don't often seriously wear certain colours - if it is not practical. The sterotyping is that women = red or pink and men = blue. And what happens if the male has a ba zi that favours red colour? Wear red all year round or GO JOIN Ferarri and wear their red uniform? 4. Personally, wearing colours onself is like focusing on peanuts. And not the big picture.In many instances, how to wear the same colour over and over again?Or on the contray get out of wearing that colour. 5.1 In Singapore,Israel where national service for boys (men)is compulsory and majorityend up in the army. How to complain and getaway from wearing GREEN? 5.2 For example, if one isconsidered as a Strong Wood person. Are you able to excuse yourself to your supervisor and tell him/her that green colour is NOT suitable to you. If it is wartime, not only will you get court-marshalled, but also shot-immediately! 5.3 In Singapore, many schools have school uniforms. For example, many Catholic schools use white shirt. And for convent girls: blue dress and white shirt. So blame it on life if the child fares or behaves badly in school. Peanuts, peanuts and more peanuts, please. 6.

Peck Wun W. wrote: Hi Cecil, Thanks for your enlighten. The note by robert mentioned: One must always boost up your favourable elements first, then add in elements which you lack (even if they fall in your unfavourable elements). I am of weak fire and the element I lack is earth. So I have to wear more red and green, to boost up my favourable elements first but how doI know whether is enough andwhen &how do Iadd in elements which I lack next? Do I wear more red and green and then mix with a little of yellow on the same day andeveryday? Or wear red and green for 1st 2daysthenwear yellow forthird day and back to red & green on the forth day and so on? Thanks.

Yes, in theory, for a weak fire person:- 1. Wood is better than fire element. 2. Fire element is acceptable.

Further to what I had mentioned, this is a very useful link: an old resource I wrote sometime in 2005 (5 donkey years ago)... http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=3&mid=17396&new= What is L.C.M.? What has Ba zi in common with Flying Star Feng Shui and the Five Elements concept. Under Ba Zi, we can be classified as say Strong Earth or Weak Earth. Under Flying Star Feng Shui: #2 can also be classified as weak earth.. while #5 is classified as strong earth. #6 as strong metal. #7 as weak metal. So, tell me? Why is it so important to classify them into weak or strong?

1. Singapore is at the equator (or close to the equator). Thus, the geographical north and magnetic north is very close to each other. 2. All street-directory maps (all over the world) is based on Geographic north. That is when one turns to look at a streetdirectory map, north or zero degrees is directly at the "top". 3. Take this simple example: see attachment. A block of flat is called Block 210 with the facing direction of the block marked. 4. Using a protractor, one can easily determine accurately the facing direction of this block of flat i.e. in this example, the block is facing 330 degrees North. And under Flying Star Feng Shui this direction fits into North-West 3 direction = 330 degrees (which fallsbetween 322.5 to 337.4 degrees).

1. In my opinion, your determination of centrepoint or known as "centre of gravity" is pretty accurate. 2. Attached, please find the "fine-tuned" centrepoint which is just one or two feet away from your proposed centrepoint. 3. The rule-of-thumb method of finding the centrepoint is often to match as close as possible protusions vs missing areas by area. See attachment. 4. A crude method is to photo-copy the layout plan. Paste it onto a cardboard. Cut-out the outline. And try to balance the entire cardboard on a piece of nail. The point where the entire cut-out-carboard balances onto the nail is known as the centre-of-gravity. Suspected to be as shown in the attachment.

In my opinion, these are two considerations:- 1.1 Even under Flying Star Feng Shui, there is a base #8 at that sector. And under Period 8, #8 is the reigning number does help greaterly. 1.2. Chinese consider red as auspicious (at the altar). On 1.1 alone, in my opinion: "if it ain't broken don't - unfix it". I personally feel - leave it as it is ... no issue.

1. In the past, careers can easily be categorised without hesistation. 2. Nowadays, especially with multi-skills involved, one has to find out what is one's major job function. 3. However, in today's world roughly all occupations could be classifed as under:- 3.1. What industry is it in? 3.1.1 For example: Hospital is considered wood element; IT as water element; Real Estate as earth element etc... 3.2. What is the major job specification? If one is doing sales or marketing than it is fire element. While customer relations is related to earth etc... 4. The above, will show that in today's modern job scope; in general, the industry and job scope are taken into consideration. Thus it is not unusual to link a job with two elements e.g. Someone is working in the current "QC issues" Toyota car company = Metal element. And if he/she is doing sales or marketing than the job function is Fire element. 5. For higher level posts e.g. CEO who is often in-charge of all departments and one of their main functions is to "grow" a company; thus his /her primary role or job scope belongs to the "wood" element.

1. Usually, this often comes under three considerations:- 1.1. Location, location, location It says it all! And especially in the Far East, house numbers like 4, 44 or 444 or 14 etc... while 13 to westerners ... are equally not appealing 1.2. Market pricing & condition of interior layout etc.. 2. Under Feng Shui; Flying Star Feng Shui can be used to where possible activate especially the mountain star #8 = networking luck - to make the home more sellable (other than 1.1 and or 1.2.)

Majority of the time, as what you had described, this indeed looks like a "tit-for-tat" situation. Furthermore, it is not like your home is so close to the neighbour's home. I can see that you have a large compound. And further the distance between the two homes; the better. And in this case, it looks like both homes are quite a distance apart. Constrast this to many of the pictures of Singapore landed property homes that I had posted. The home is often separated only by a two lane road. In my opinion, there is no major concern for yours or your neighbour's home given that the main door is further "sunken" deeper inwards... For those who still are concerned; (more out of "fear" or restlessness then could / may / would consider a six rod windchime hung above the main entrance. But in my opinion, use this as a sort of last resort- thing. Jo J. wrote: Hi Master Cecil, I came accross one of your old responses to a poison arrow issue dealing with "tit-for-tat" feng shui. The house accross from mine has several pointed roofs, and one is directly pointing at my main door (and is also on top of its main door). However, my house is the same floor plan but flipped so the pointed roof above my front door also directly faces my neighbor's main door and thus directly faces its pointed roof. Is that enough to create a "tit-for-tat" feng shui or do I need to cure the poison arrow? If I do need to cure the poison arrow, how would I go about it? Thanks!

Facing direction of a condo / home An In-depth understanding of the Frontage of a home. Is it always the main door? Who are the Conservatives & the Modernist. What lead to the Conservatives use of the Main Door only? 1. Who are the Conservatives and the Modernists? 2. An in-depth understanding of why the Conservatives has misunderstood the knowledge passed down by the ancients. For High Rise Compass Reading should be taken from the living room looking out of it. For eg. towards the living room windows or its balcony (if applicable) +++ More In my opinion, it seems that at least 25 to 35 percent of units in many condos have toilets that are either at the centrepoint or close to the centrepoint. Although it is considered as a "leak" (wealth leak); however, in my opinion, a home usually have three or more major leaks for it to be in "deep shit". Furthermore, most of the time there is no such thing as a "perfect - Feng Shui home". Thus some of the key sucessfactors for a Feng Shui friendly home are:- * Fix-the-Leak, First! * Situational Approach * The Concept of Maximizing Marks (Relevant to what is mentioned, here) * The Concept of Feng Shui by Exception * The Customer Engineer Concept

Example: Onyour website, havestrong fire or weak fire, and have totally differentanalysis result. On other fortune teller website, no strong or weak, fireonly have one analysis result. Need your enlighten. Thanks. This question has been asked many times. Two years ago, one user highlighted to me that she went to a popular website to check her ba zi. The ba zi details was different from this site. And when she last checked, she was surpised to find out that the site has "updated" their info to match this website's ba zi information. This FAQ tells all:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=2&mid=23906&new= As for your first question: in general, it is an interaction of many inputs and other factors like "House of Life" taken into consideration.

1. If a person not only compile the odds but analyse the findings and come-up with a trend - then the element is Wood element. 2. If the person is merely a compiler e.g. takes statistics and compile them without any analysis or interpretation then most likely the element is : Water element. 3. If the person complies and publish the information - selling it e.g. as a document / booklet.. then the element is : Fire element (sales - marketing the infor or allow others to adveriste in that publication).

1. It is best to look at this issue based on the concept of the Holy Trinity of Chinese Luck system:- 1.1 Heaven Luck - what one is born with (and the dreaded "prediction" of Luck for or against a person. 1.2 Earth Luck - Feng Shui of the home and office. 1.3 Human or Man Luck - factors. 2.1 Amongst all the above Three "forms of Holy Trinity of Luck". The Heaven Luck segment has the most number of escape clauses. From things like education, one's surroundings - shaped by family, friends; and some even say things like pilanthropy - doing good etc.. or karma sort of thing. 2.2 Under Heaven Luck also one must never fall under : auto-suggestion and self-fullfilling prophecy. 3. Earth Luck is equally important as in many instances, even if one does not have a good Heaven Luck chart (ba zi chart is not good) or during a certain period.. may be considered as luck against the person - But if one has relatively acceptable Earth Luck (Feng Shui) all the concerns under Heaven Luck can easily be negated or over-whelmed - given a boost from one's earth Luck. 4. What happens if one has no good Heaven Luck nor Earth luck? 5. It is not the end of the story. Things like "blood is thicker than water" and relationships: For example, many people don't have fantastic ba zi luck nor even earth luck.. but has good family bonding etc... Good family bonding and SUPPORT can transend over all those negative issues .....
