Please go read this article written by Robert Lee:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=2&mid=23906&new= At Geomancy.net we cannot control how others interpret their ba zi, but we certainly are aware of many of the issues and concerns. And at the same time, we are very serious in the quality of our reports. Many, many years of research, development and fine tuning that went into it.

1. Usually, the "rule of thumb" is a home + yang qi or with human activity. 2. Thus, it makes some sense that although the home was constructed under Period 7, however, human activity = yang qi is only present after we have moved-in. 3. Nevertheless, if one were to apply Flying Star chart to such a home; never never assume that the home is a Period 7 or 8 totally. Thus, if one were to do such an analysis, best to draw two flying star charts for the home. In many instances, as the years go by, a competent practitioner (or with commonsense anyone) can compare both charts to see which is more "accurate".

1. There is the "physical" Feng Shui items e.g. for activating a mountain such as a real wall or a brick or a rock or even a safe can represent it. 2. Another category of Feng Shui is known as "SYMBOLISM". Thus, the mountain picture you mentioned symbolises a mountain. Even a picture of the undulating great wall of China picture may act as a "mountain". It does not have to be a REAL mountain. 3. Thus, to activate a water position, the most common traditional method is a painting such as this attached 9 fishes on each side "meeting" each other.... Thus, it symbolises "a metal-water" feature.

Interview excerpts with the MD of the Feng Shui Emporium:- Interviewer: "Sir! Why is the "US" so huge and "you" so small? " MD: "Under Symbolism in Feng Shui, I was told the bigger the fatter MY FISH (which means "US" the better!) While I remembered "YOU" should be small." Interviewer: " Now I understand! Can I ask you a favour? " MD: " Sure! Go Ahead!" Interviewer: " Thanks! In this case, I am asking a refund of $56,000 for all the useless products my wife purchased from YOU! I mean US, no I mean U. What ever "

Even in a recession, see how this "parasite" makes more money!

Let me share with you what I have seen recently in a Feng Shui Emporium's Managing Director aka MD or Mad Dog's private office... sssshhhhhh!

Reference report:- http://talk.geomancy.net 1. Under the productive cycle of the Five Elements concept, as a weak wood person, water helps the wood to "grow". 2. While under the destructive cycle, metal (axe or knife) can easily "terminate" a (weak) wood.

1. In this economic climate, we have to be more vigilant - and if we still have a job, and holding on to it.. then, just be patient. 2. Technically, based on the Five Elements concept, yes, a weak wood person needs "water" element to improve it. 3. A weak wood person is like a small plant. And needs constant "watering" to grow the plant. 4. Thus the best element for a weak wood is water element. Water careers range from Communications to Computer Programming to Beverage industry etc... 5. Under the Five elements concept, metal element is considered not suitable for a weak wood person. Just imagine an axe or even a blade can easily chop off a small plant. While as mentioned above, water element on the contrary should benefit a weak wood person. Dear Master, I am aware that different jobs are suitable for different elements. Im born 1984 Sep 27, 2:30AM. I was told before that my element is WOOD, and i am generally a weakWOOD & weak in FIRE. Shd I be avoidin METAL & WATER element related jobs? I am currently in the Insurance industry. Insurance is considered as a METAL job? May I ask, what kind of jobs are suitable fora WOOD element? Thanks! Jason

I am very, very afraid, that oil from the ground may run out before I retire! Even if my geomancer says oil is still good; my heart says go with AIG! With tax payer's money... what can go wrong? RITE?

1. In the past, "cash cow" or cosy jobs are those at the oil companies.... 2. Today, even if I resigned from AIG, I also get a bonus based on my contract with them! Tax payer's money - well spent rite? Who cares! It's in my pocket! No tax, please!

1. Frankly, what you are asking is : I post this layout with my compass direction and you tell me where is it best for me to place a water feature. 2. Please note that this is a Free General Advise forum. 3. Your layout and compass directions are so specific to your case only. 4. Little wonder that no matter which website you try to find your answers, it has to be tailored to your layout and specific compass direction. There is no two ways about. 5. Imagine, if everyone post a layout plan, and expect specific answers... this is not the agenda of this forum. (Newbie or no newbie. There are other avenues including finding your Feng Shui practitioner - if you want to do so.) Alternatively, the cheapest way is "go with your own feelings" - aka Trial and error Feng Shui.

1. Frankly, it is best to check with your friend further as it is difficult for me to comment on just a few sentences. 2. However, often tilting if it is the main door can only be temporary - unlike tilting the entire home say 7.5 degrees towards another facing direction. 3. Thus, since your friend is in the know, best to check with him further. 4. If you are or your friend is based his advise to "tlit" based on Compass School of Feng Shui, then, make sure that the exact compass readings are taken. I hope it is not like a novice taking a compass reading and then finding that it is "wrong". There are proper ways to take a reading and it should be adhered to.

1. Further to what I had mentioned, in the past, Feng Shui is about the "big picture" or macro Feng Shui. 2. Where should be site the back (backyard) of the home. And not just micro Feng Shui i.e. interior of the home. 3. Thus, in this BIG picture, if the back of the home as a mountain star, better still

1. No, one of the places that is symbolic of a mountain is the back of the house. 2. I was giving you the above as an example because you mentioned an shelving and I mentioned that if it is an open shelf, it should not in general be considered as a mountain. But if the shelf is placed against a wall, then this is the mountain. Thus, where did I say that only the back of the housecan only be or activate the mountain? 3. Thus, please don't anyhow put "words into" my mouth

1. No. A shelf e.g. those Ikea open shelving should not be considered as a mountain. 2. But if it is behind a full wall, yes. The wall is considered a "mountain". For example, in the past, many of the messages would convey the idea that a mountain can be activated especially if this is the back of the house. Even a back-door can be considered a mountain. 3. Contrary to popular belief, a mountain need not be made of "gold" or the common highly marked up "purple amertyst stone" that looks like a real mountain. A mountain can be as simple as a piece of brick, or smooth sea-side stones as large as a person's heart.

1. After a home has been built, it is much harder to change the location especially of the sewerage pipe connected to both your WC. 2. Of course, if a proper Feng Shui analysis has been done; normally, it would be recommended not to have both the WC's on each side of the main entrance door. But, after the home has been built, either have to live with it or do corrective actions. 3. Corrective actions may not be needed if there are no further "wealth leaks" in the home. And some homes can still sustain toilet(s) at the frontage and still survive. While some homes may face problems especially related to both wealth and career issues. 4. The second issue of the "top" of the stair-case facing the wash-basin is tine. More to do with psychology then Feng Shui.

Honestly, you may to use some of the following key success factors in maximizing the luck of your home:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Main_Page#Key_Success_Factors_in_D.I.Y._Feng_Shui

1. Frankly, this is not directly linked to any major Feng Shui theory, other than perhaps symbolism and human luck factors. 2. Under symbolism, of course, water draining out is like luck going out of the door. And if one feels not too good with this "omen" then, your human luck factor drops further.

1. Under Commonsense Feng Shui, definitely, it is considered not ideal to have the master bedroom directly above the kitchen. As it is believed that there is a higher incidence of a "fire" starting in a kitchen. Thus, this has more to do with "safety" aspect than of Feng Shui. However, in modern times, things like smoke detectors / fire alarm sensors / panels maybe in the master bedroom can help in such a situation. As fire travels upwards and such things can help. 2. Under Symbolic Feng Shui:- 2.1. Yes, the stove direclty below the toilet bowl is a major concern. Often, again one aspect is based on commonsense Feng Shui as often the sewerage pipe is thus directly above the stove. If there is a choice, not withstanding other Feng Shui concerns like "fire at heaven's gate" e.g. moving the stove may mean that the stove could be under the dreated NW compass direction. Would also be a double edged sword. Under Symbolism, some Feng Shui practitioners just ask the client to hang a wooden bottle gourdaround approximately 3 inches between the pipe and the stove. - Symbolism at work. 2.2. Yes, the main door facing the staircase door is a well known Shapes and FormsFeng Shui problem. As it symbolises wealth leaking out of the home e.g from the sloping staircase towards - out of the main door. This has a higher weightage asit can be considered as a majorwealth leak. There may be other wealth leaks - which is not covered, here as it involveslots more Feng Shui investigations. Anonymous wrote: Dear master Lee, I have two questions, and am hoping that you could give me some advice. 1. My house has two floors, the kitchen is located on the first floor, and the master bedroom is on the second floor. My master bathroom is located directly above the kitchen, and the toilet (bowl) is almost directly above the stove. Is there something to be concern of, and is there anything I can do? 2. Entering my house at the front door (where the living room is), the stairs that go up to second floor is right in front of the front door. Does that mean "money comes, money goes"? Besides using a screen to block the stairs from being seen from the front door, is there anything else I could use? The area is kind of narrow to use a screen. I do feel that I have a hard time saving up money since moving in. Please advice. Thanks!! Carmen

1. Overall, under Period 8, the better neutral colour that you may consider is light cream or beige. 2. Under Period 7 (1984 to 2003), the best neutral colour was white. Today, 2008, the best neutral colour is as mentioned under Para 1.

1. If one purely consider the shape, then the first is a "longish" oval, may be considered as belonging to the metal element. As most rounded / oval shape is close to the metal element. 2. While it may be different if the shape still retains an oblong (rectangle) but the sharp 4 corners of a rectangle is slightly rounded. This shape should be considered as belonging to the earth element (squarish / rectangular) 3. If the material especially is made of glass, then glass is considered also as the metal element. 4. The star comes closer to the Fire element. The two rationales are: because the star has pointed edge (sharp and pointed). And symbolically, a real star gives out light = equated with light.

1. Frankly, as ba zi was never designed for any gay couple readings. So there is no ruleset or any reference that we can use to say for sure if you should follow the standard rule or make modifications. 2. However, as ba zi compatibilty can also be used to check for compatibility between two persons (not just male&female), such as for general compatibility issues between family members(sibling relationship of same or different genders) or between business partners etc. Since it can be used to check any two persons even of the same gender.We do not see a need to really make any changes to analysis for gay.Therefore,as for now, our personal views are thatitshould be reviewedas per normal without any alternations.

1. It is Ok to have a water feature at the water wealth position at NE2 sector. 2. It is recommended that the water feature has some of the characteristics found under this link:- http://fountain.geomancy.net (Please go thru para 2.1 to 2.12 under the above link) 3. Only under certain conditions that one may be concerned with the devil's gate is where certain sectors are afflicted by all YIN flying star numbers. And this is a "dark" room. That is why if one sees many of those "western" films, where many "happenings" are found in areas like a closet or a store room. These rooms are not only "dark" yin but often they are plagued by YIN flying star numbers.

1. Usually this is not a major concern unless the WC pipes are directly opposite (behind) the stove and vice-versa. Otherwise, there is no major concern or issue. 2. Under Traditional Feng Shui, some Feng Shui practitioners (symbolism) may advice placing a hulu (bottle gourd) e.g. inside the kitchen cabinet between the two walls. Anonymous wrote: Please help. My kitchen shares the same wall as the bathroom, and the stove shares the same wall back to back with the toilet. I know it's totally bad, and what can I do to minimize the damage? Thanks!!

1. In fact, to be honest, Geomancy.net even in Singapore is one of the few or the only one that is not selling commercial products. 2. Why sell commercial products? 2.1 Commercial products "in the name of Feng Shui" is highly marked up! Using commonsense, many find it more lucrative to sell such products! 2.2 To them, they don't care too-hoots where you get your hard-earned money from, but these people, don't have a conscience and like all "cheats"; simply wantus to depart with our hard earned money! 2.3 Imagine, profit margins are as high as even 500 to 1,000 percent! Unheard of! Yet, people are gullible to purchase them for the sake of .. "greed"! 2.4 Frankly, if I were to sell such products, one can make really tons of money! BUT, cannot stomach such an avenue! 2.5 In the past, if you read some messages, there were cases where the wife, call on so call "Feng Shui Masters" and these masters "cheat" them i.e. purchase tons of products.. And many of these housewives paid with their credit card! And later on... husband divorced the wife! Thus, Feng Shui or bad Feng Shui can even cause direct family separation, imagine! 3. Unfortunately, there are more people being "fooled" to purchase products everday vs our campaign of "If buying stops, the selling can!" This is indeed an uphill tasks! So, please spread the word! Don't let these people burn a "blackhole" in our pockets... P.S. Many Feng Shui practitioners, started off, doingFeng Shui. BUT, many found selling products more lucrative! And easy money! Thus the easy way out to earn money is selling products at Huge profits! Why work when, you can live off other people's fear and greed? "In-the-name of Feng Shui"!
