1. One hasto first determine whetherespecially the Male breadwinner is an East or West Group person:- 1.1. The mainfree report link is as follows:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports.htm 1.2 Use this report to find out whether one is an East or West Group person. http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/perlist-eight-house.htm 2. For example, if the male breadwinner is an East Group person; then based on the sitemap (facing direction of each stack), the better unit is where the stack is south facing e.g. South1 (157.5-172.4 degrees) , South2 (172.5-187.4 degrees) , South3 (187.5-202.4 degrees) i.e Nuovo stack 04. 2.

Once, I was asked this question: How come Geomancy.net does not advertise in any print media such as newspapers or magazine? "Geomancy.net enjoys lots of referrals and is highly visible on the web!" If one has to advertise on the print media to showcase one's website; this is really bad!...... In order to be successful; people Search thru the web rather than vice-versa! I remembered clearly... 8 years ago; every year; someone from the Yellow Pages would call me up and "desperately" ask me to advertise in the Yellow pages. I said NO! Even at that time; I never even bother to collect my Yellow pages Directory. And suprise; there were around two years that they hand delivered the Yellow Pages to my premises. In all these instances, many of these new Yellow Pages got thrown away in the rubbish bin.

These are some considerations:- 1. If your approach is thru the Compass School of Feng Shui; then it is best to draw up a 20 Year Flying Star Chart and find out exactly what are the Flying Star numbers at the northwest area (sector):- 1.1. If that sector has the Water Star #8; and depending on the Mountain # and Base # stars; etc... 2. Otherwise, what you had written is only as making a guess or practising "Trial and Error" type of Feng Shui. Else with the information provided; honestly, might as well as flip a coin: tails = proceed; heads = don't place that water feature. 3.

1. Some Geomancers start off their careers focused on the facts and/or writing well "researched" information on Feng Shui. 2. However, many end up being greedy either when they were approached by business promoting "in-the name of " Feng Shui products. And even expanding to the sale of decorations to "beautify" the body.... such as jewelleries. 3. When the buying stops, the selling can! 4. Help please spread the word around! Feng Shui is scientific and no need to support those unscrupulous sellers.

1. In the past, many of the earlier temples within the city area; most share a common denominator i.e. many of these temples face the "sea". 2. Thus following the outline of streets; many temples especially in the city area faces South-East= where the sea (used to be). 3. For example, inWaterloo Street; 3.1thepopularKwanIm Temple (Goddess of Mercy) faces SE. 3.2 the Phoo Thor Jee templealso faces SE. 3.3. One of the oldest Thian Hock Keng temple at Telok Ayer Street also faces SE. 3.4. the Yueh Hai Ching temple at Philip street also faces SE. there are more temples... 4. Basically, some of these temples do not immediately see the sea; but as I had mentioned earlier; the veins of many roads run NE to SW and thus the sea is facing "SE". 5. Some temples do manage to face North to South but these are fewer in the Singapore city area.

I read also "in Geomancy Theory and chinese customs it is always recommended placing home deities altar facing N or S and never facing NE or SW". Since you are an expert in Geomancy I have 3 questions: 1. are they true or not? (from geomancy's view) 2. can talisman of chinese deity (fu) block the negative energy from those directions entering the house if one places the talisman on the door? Or is there other geomancy/fengshui method? 3. if a house sits in subdirection (e.g. NW thus facing SE), the house will have N or S direction at corner. Is it ok to place home deities altar at corner N or S? Usually the chinese people place their deities altar with a plain wall behind it and not a corner. Thank you in advance.

Since you are an expert in Geomancy I have 3 questions: 1. are they true or not? (from geomancy's view) 1. My earlier resources written around 1997 on Devil's gate can be found under this link:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-gate.htm 2. Do a SEARCH under this forum for devil's gate or north-east and you will also find many questions and replies on this subject. 3. A specifically design and built home should if possible avoid the altar at the NE and SW "facing or sitting" direction. Many churches are aligned North-to-South. And in the past, some temples and even many other religious buildings not necessarily temples face North or South or vice-versa. 4. Under the Indian Vastu (Indian form of Feng Shui): 4.1. A Puja or Pooja In the past, many Indian homes have a room specific for containing lots of Indian figurines and religious items. Under Vastu principles: it states that it is best to avoid the Indian religious puja located at NE and/or SW. Nowadays, some Indians don't use a Puja or room anymore, they simply have an open altar. 5. In modern times, where many e.g. Singaporeans can only afford to buy an apartment. And there are not many "real-estate" e.g. a "clean area" to place an altar. And in many instances, some of the altars HAVE no choice but to face NE or SW because as I mentioned, not much "real-estate" as in "clean" walls to place the altar. Unless one is rich enough or is particular about it before purchasing such and such a home. 6. In some of the past forum messages; one can consult a Geomancer skilled in many of such things.. and one of the methods is "hiding" a Chinese luopan horizontal and/or vertical at the altar ... as an example. 7. There are already many limitations to consider for the placement of an altar and I had listed many conditions in the past. For example: the altar cannot share the same wall as the toilet; it should not be facing a toilet or a bedroom etc.. etc.. etc... 8. If one is filthy rich; build your own home; or lookout for such things as a priority before buying such a home.. then.. go ahead... if not; if the location really has to be a NE or SW how?

Anonymous wrote: Dear Master Lee, Trying again to get your help/advice. To keep the questions simple: 1) I would like to find out how to determine the direction of the unit facing. I read your earlier posts that older 5-room HDB flats tend to have multiple facings, if so how can we resolve it? I read other articles that the house facing is usually one that: - noisy - traffic - windy - most sunlight etc. Balcony 1 meets about half of the criteria and Balcony 2 (full-length window) meets the other half, so what is the best way to determine facing, especially it is a high-floor unit? In essence what you had written above equals one sentence: " the most yang qi - or brightest) -- especially horizontal area(s).

Anonymous wrote: Dear Master Lee, 2)...... to put a water fountain and/or plants near East/Southeast sector, is that ok and sufficient? This part has more to do with: 1. Plotting out the Flying Star numbers of that SPECIFIC unit. 2. Analyse and study the Flying Star numbers to see if a water fountain and/or plants can be placed at that location. If one skips para 1 and 2; might as well, honestly, throw a dice or flip a coin (50-50) type of decision making. Under this senario - it is anyone's guess.

1. Nowadays, paintings cater to "different" directions. 2. In this picture; two buddha figurines - painting are on sale. Which would you buy? 3. It depends!

That direction is facing the lift / lift lobby area, I hope there are no conflicts. 1. It is always good to share more information.

Since that direction is facing the lift/lift lobby area, then there is indeed a conflict i.e. in this instance, may not be appropriate to place it there.

1. Some Geomancers consider "water" in the bedroom as:- 1.1. Some defined water as a Yin element : thus to them water is not suitable to be used in a "yin" location e.g. such as a bedroom. Here, it is a "static" painting, and not real moving water. 1.2. There are some who consider a painting of a water fall, as "moving" water ... so to them their interpretation is that since a bedroom should be for rest "yin"; then moving water = Yang is not suitable in a bedroom environment. 2. Frankly, these are the two most common interpretations by different Geomancers. Again, there is no right or wrong answers. See which or both appeal to best to the lay person. 3. What is really the definition of Yin Water and What is Yang Water? The proper definition is as follows:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=15024&new=

1. Flying Star Feng Shui and Ba zi has a Lowest Common Denominator (LCM) i.e. all it's components can be further analysed under the Five Elements concept. 2. As mentioned, in my previous msg, what I need to say has already being said about the Eight House concept. You can also read up this link:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Three-Step-Approach

Flush Away bad karma at temple in Japan.... This is how they do it, there....

1. Both Eight House and Flying Star Feng Shui belong to the Compass School of Feng Shui. And compass school Feng Shui considers compass directions. 2. For the Eight House concept: there is "no cure" other than say not spent time at a sector - sometimes impractical especially if this is the location of your bed. 3. While, what you mentioned, below; if it is based on Flying Star, depends on exactly which flying star facing direction e.g. South 1, or South 2/3 and even the Period this home is in. Jing L. wrote: Hi Master Lee, I've another 2 queries : 1) was reading some feng shui book regarding the house facing south sitting North. When aply the 9 palaces, it seems like our master room located at NE fall under the "wu gui" section which can results in illness / bad luck. Not sure how true it is or is there anything I can do to make things better? 4. On your question, below; this is not the first time nor your unit is one and only one in the whole of Singapore or the world that has this layout plan. 4.1. For example, in this attachment, even the lastest larger units at Pinnacle at Duxton, also has such layout plans. And these flats are 50 stories high with many units of the same layout plan. 4.2. One advantage of such a layout is that the main door does not directly face an open window or balcony.. this is a plus point.... 4.3. Many other older HDB flats also has this kind of layout plan... thus the sayings goes "no big deal".

1. It would be great if the kaffir leaves can be added. (In the past not many people outside of South-East Asia - heard of the kaffir leaves let alone the "thai kaffir leaves". 2.

1. Very small items no issue such as USB thumb-drive. 2. Usually photos on their own - no issue. But it is kept in one of those especially A3 sized bulky album then the best is to remove the photos and throw away the album. 3. For the camera:- 3.1. Check if it was his favourite camera or not? If it is one of his favourite camera and/or 3.2. It is roughly the size or equivalent to todays' Sony Alpha series e.g. DSLR-A230; then it is best to avoid keeping it. Anything smaller, such as equal to today's portable camera is OK. 4. Usually, you will "know". If afterwards, no more bad streak; then these things don't have residual "value". 5. With modern technology; the other thing to watch are photos that are A4 sized and above! Sometimes, these hold residual "value" ...... one way is to scan the image and then tear the photo(s) away.. never burn them. And dispose accordingly - if string of bad luck occurs.. Most unlikely; but do monitor the situation. Philip O. wrote: Thank you so much Cecil.

The saying goes: "Take no for all answers!" Even if move-in rituals were predominantly a Chinese thing; "You have to squezee out some procedure for us NON-Chinese, you know!" It is not good enough that you provide free combined auspicious dates: "It must be for ALL MY Family members, you know!" Luckily.. not many are like this...

I do hope that you are not practising one of those "fixed template" ba gua sort of thing. Where incredibly one lays a fixed template with things like North = Career etc... onto a layout plan.

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Remove it during Yang timing especially best with natural daylight. Thus if you are at home; the best time to remove it is between 11am to 1pm and not later than 3pm. (3pm onwards is yin timing). 2. The most common method of disposalofitems (if it is "clean")is to warp it up in clean used newspaper. Place it into a normal plastic bag and throw it into the bin. 3. In fact, the rationale for your previous master's writing is to protect the ba gua mirror with a charm. Thus it seems puzzling that such a mirror can offend "yin" energies. 3.1. Frankly, this ba gua mirror and charm is suppose to be effective for "Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and even Malay (Indonesian) entities. Perhaps, the main suspect is that other than to "cure" sha qi or poison arrows; it's the other half usage i.e. offering "protection" from yin entities may not be as effective say in a different cultural environment such as Australia (the natives of Australia and especially the past British backwater country. 3.2. Only if an item has been "possessed" by an entity; the safe-guard is throwing it into the sea. This is a common "effective" practise. 4. Sometime back, Chinese family, brought home a "Japanese entity housed in a Japanese casket object. Initially, the lady was given lots of luck e.g. winning lottery... but there was a shelf-life.. it later took the lady's soul. And the only way to dispose of such things is to the sea. 5. Thus, avoid burying the ba gua mirror - especially if it is picked up in the future by some innocent persons. Also never intentionally or unintentionally burn such things. One may accidentally create a portal. It is even worst to bury it at NE (as many cultures have felt that it is the gate from Hell) and SW the (devil's backdoor). 6. On the commonsense approach to Feng Shui; even in Singapore; where there are many different religions; the market value of a home can even be affected by visual appearance! For example, Singapore does have a sizeable Christian population. And even before Christians step into a home to view it; seeing a ba gua mirror is often a turn-off for them ... 7. As to your current Geomancer's suggestion: to sell the home. Did you sound out to the geomancer that you intend to sell your home? Or is he who suggested it. If you have been "happily" living in the home with relatively no issues ... even if life is mundane... then you better think twice. 8. Frankly, in my opinion, not many Geomancers have a "third-eye". Caveat Emptor: Let the "buyer" beware... 9. Another concept to consider: If it ain't (seriously) broken.. don't (sell) fit it! applies 10. In my opinion, something as small as this hardly can be "possessed" or "active" especially if it has a mirror : be it a flat or either convex or concave mirror on it and the mirror is not blurr. Thus - in most instances disposal under Para 2 is acceptable.

We're thinking of removing the mirror and dump into the bin. Would this be the correct method or respect 'it' by burying in the ground? Some masters recommend throwing it into the sea. Pls. advise.
