If purely based on the Five elements concept,metal destroys wood to create wealth. Thus, if we consider a pilot as belonging to the wood element, then it is considered as auspicious for a strong metal person.

1. The best method is to plot a flying star chart of a home. And use this flying star chart to analyse each sector. 2. For example, if a sector has a water star #3, then this is considered as a bad wood element and planting bamboo or plants can even further create "harm". As #3 is associated with scandals, conflicts, lawsuits. The above is just one simple illustration to show that it is more prudent to apply Flying star in such a situation. Not withstanding, the dragon and tiger etc...

Frankly, it is often difficult to select good dates in a specific month especially if we look at the brith charts of two persons. Thus it is perfectly all right to use a date e.g. V. Auspicious and mix blessings combined. So long as it is not an inauspicious or very inauspicious date for any of the two persons, this is fine! or OK Anonymous wrote: Dear Master, We are siblings and will be moving to our new apartment soon. According to your 30-days Auspicious date, July 11 is Very Auspicious to me (Dog) but mix blessing to my brother (Rooster). Additionally, it is an Open Day according to 12 Officer Day. Pls advise should we proceed with this day or better to select another day? Thank you very much for your valuable advise. Anon

Thanks for the sketch. However, from a scientific Feng Shui point of view:- 1. So long as one is able to have the drainage from the property outwards towards the drainage, one can make it an auspicious home. 2. For example, for every landed property, there is such thing as drainage exit from the landed property outwards, as shown in the sample below:- Example. Landed Property Water/Drain Exit Point Facing Direction: N3 and NE1 Default Water Direction: Depends on Layout 1st Exit Point (Wealth) Between 307.5 to 337.4 Degree Water Flow Direction: Right to Left 2nd Exit Point (Wealth) Between 37.5 to 67.4 Degree Water Flow Direction: Left to Right NOTE: Water Flow direction is taken from inside your house looking out towards the main door/frontage. 3. Thus even if currently the drainage from a Shapes and Forms point of view seems to - in my opinion, not as auspicious because water flow is away from the home from both "sides"; but if one is able to tap the internal drainage of the property e.g. from left of right between 37.5 to 67.4 degrees etc.. 4. For those who are building a new home from scratch can greatly benefit from good Feng Shui consultation advice as it can make or break the wealth of the owners of the home. Thus if the flow seems not correct, can make an internal correction. 5. However, if the external drainage is all covered up (cannot be seen) then this is a neutral position.

Anonymous wrote: Dear Master, I am bit vague about tilting main doors as to make it face an auspicious direction and of course to avoid the Devil's gate (Northeast direction). I have a northeast facing door and it is one of my inauspicious location. My concerns: * Does making it a defunct/dead door and otherwise use the east facing backdoor as our main entrance can help substantially and further avoid renovation expenses? * Is hanging a mirror and a bagua above the Northeast facing main door resolves the problem. * If tilting is really required, how can it be done? Will it not create poison arrows, for chance in walls and jambs? I am planning to change it before Hungry ghosts festival on August. Thanks for the guidance and more power. Frankly, it is best that if you are not familiar with lots of Feng Shui concepts; do get yourself a competent geomancer. And not be obessed with your home being a NE facing. There are many other considerations.

1. Usually, for such instances, it is best to get professional help especially if you are uncertain whether it is True or not. 2. Sometimes, your measurement(s) are not accurate - i.e. false alarm. 3. If it is true that your home falls on the void line, then it is best to get professional help to assess the situation and provide further advise. 4. If you want to DIY, then one of the most common methods is to purchase a "copper" ruler; re-do the front door floor tiles and embed the ruler strategically at an angle from the void line. This is one of the most common methods.

1. More importantly; the year the home was stayed-in. Thus most likely, the TOP date. 2. Do take note that it is meant for a high-rise: flat/condo/apartment and not a landed property such as a terrace/semi-detached or a bungalow.

Safer if you have a sketch as such explanations can easily be misunderstood - wrongly.

1. In order for it to be a sha qi or poison arrow:- 1.1. It must be a tree trunk (not a bunch of leaves or growth covering a trunk or tree trunks) 1.2. It must be directly facing the main door. Not "sidewards" or slanted as many people often wrongly felt so. 1.3. Remedies range from: - A wind chime - A convex ba gua mirror These are the two most common "cures" for this situation.

Your friend is correct.

1. Yes, Feng Shui cannot be done by remote control. If you don't stay at the (that) home, you will not be affected by it. 2. I understand that bamboos grow in clusters. And does not have a single tree TRUNK. If so, there is no impact with the clusters of trunks and branches of a bamboo plant on the Feng Shui of your home. 3. As we are not privilege to see what it is like, you may consider making a decision to keep or remove it especially if "darkens" the main entrance vis a vis covering the piping.

1. With two major variables: bed is quite large and a bedroom has windows, bedroom door and often an attached toilet. This implies that it is very difficult to angle any bed to our best suitable direction. 2. Thus the rule of thumb is:- 2.1. Best it that the bed layout should "flow" with the bedroom based on Shapes and forms Feng Shui. 2.2. It is good to have the bed (located within a person's good sector). For example, the bed is within west which is a good sector for a west group person. Sometimes it can never happen as the bedroom is not in our good sector. If so refer to Para 2.1 then see if 2.3 may apply or not. 2.3. So long especially as Para 2.1 is satisfied, then it is considered as NICE-to-have our bed-head facing a good direction.

1. Please note that NW has two concerns:- 1.1. The trigarm at NW represents Head (male breadwinner) of the house. And a stove there can symbolise "Fire at Heaven's gate". 1.2. NW also represents Heaven Luck. Thus a stove there symbolises "no luck" (lack of luck from heaven). 2. Based on the eight house concept (ba cai or 4 good or 4 bad (East/west group), the best stove directionsfor the lady of the home is where the stove faces one's good direction. 3. Thus, if one is a West group person, it is favourable for say, theentire stove to face Westwith a supporting wall atthe East.

Who cares! So long as one is born with something!

What formula are you talking about?

1. This shop is located at Pan Pacific Hotel - linked to the Marina Square Shopping centre. It has been operating at this location for several years already. 2. This shop is in full view of the up and down escalator...

1. Please note that us human beings have our ba zi (or individual and combined ba zi) elements. 2. In addition, a home also has it's own "birth chart" or ba zi. Usually, it can be evaluated using Flying Star Feng Shui. A proper Feng Shui audit uses both Para 1 and 2 to determine the best colours for an area. This is normally how it is done, today. In the past, Feng Shui was not so "sophisticated" then and some either apply Kindergarten type of Feng Shui; where north = water, south = fire etc... Unfortunately, there are some who still uses this type of Feng Shui.

There are two major dimensions, here:- 1. The Holy Trinity of Luck Have mentioned many times that the Chinese system is based on:- Heaven Luck (born with) Earth Luck (Feng Shui) & Human or Man luck (often family support, bonding and networking) 2. Earth Luck or Feng Shui The rich gets richer because they can afford better homes and especially homes that give them a quantum leap i.e. homes that have superior Feng Shui. I had always mentioned, previously that for some, their homes may be equivalent of a 10 year old run down car. Thus realistically, even how much the home has been Feng Shuied - cannot turn the home (equivalent of the car) into a gem or a mercedes benz or bmw. 3. Thus so what if you have a Feng Shui assessment? Location, location and location is important. While some homes can truly benefit from a proper Feng Shui audit, some homes, simply cannot be improved. 4. For your friend, the main "controllable" item is his/her human or man luck. Often, many of us don't have good Feng Shui nor blessed with good born with luck. But, if we have good support especially from family members or relatives, then this is indeed a plus point.

1. Yes, it is very common to bring in items into the home before move-in. 2. If it is not the 7th month, it is not the 7th month. As mentioned in a recent forum message, the elderly just don't like the 6th month. Not because it is the "7th" month (how can this be) BUT rather, the elderly don't like it because it symbolises 50-50. Neither here nor there as the 6th month is half-half (between the 1st and the 12th lunar month). This is the rationale behind why some elderly reasoned as no good - 6th month, that's all.

1. For practical reasons, it is acceptable to bring in "items" for the new home. 2. The most common items are definitely new furnitures; delivery of new fridge, washing machine etc... As often we don't have a control nor want to have huge bottleneck when suddenly nearly everyone turns up at the home to do an installation. 3. Frankly, it is fine to bring in "old" or used furniture or items. Just to take note that especially during the Chinese 7th month; and if one really wants to avoid the notation that one has moved in during the 7th month should not do any 3 of these activities:- 3.1. Prepare cooked meals and eat the meal at the dining table PLUS 3.2. Bathe in the home. (If it is a condo, no issue with swimming and going to the condo public toilet to bathe there) PLUS 3.3. For the masters of the home, avoid sleeping especially on a proper bed in the master bedroom. 4. Thus,if we want to avoid like "accidentally"considered as moved-in to a new home especially during the Chinese 7th month, then if possible try to avoidcontinuous activity of 3.1 to 3.2. to 3.3. If allthese activities are done, then it may be considered as moved-in. 5. Can draw a parallel with Chinese wedding (customs and procedures). Here, many couples have done now and in the past: put on their wedding glowns and suites and taken wedding photos way in advance of the actual Traditional Chinese wedding ceremony. 6. Taking wedding photos in the wedding glowns and suites does not necessarily mean that one has consummate the wedding on the photo taking day. 7. Thus bringing in items is very common - and practical in our modern world.

1. Statistically, even locally in my country, all landed property estates with semi-detached homes will have homes that mirror each other. Some homes with garage to the "right" and some with garage to the "left". 2. In my opinion, the comments by the building contractor is purely "kindergarten" type of Feng Shui. There are thousands - and - one more concerns that are more important than this. Some of them are listed in the link below:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Want_to_build_your_dream_home%3F 3. As we all know especially semi-detached homes, it is a set of two homes mirrored at the "centre". And locally, there are LOTS of such homes. 4. More importantly: Location, location and location has the highest weightage : including like the drainage of the home, the facing direction of a home etc...

1. Frankly, sharing a wall with the toilet is acceptable or quite common. However, just make sure that the toilet bowl is on the opposite wall. Thus more importantly, avoid the toilet bowl (and sewerage) piping sharing the same wall as the bed-head. 2. So long as the legs do not face the bedroom door, it is acceptable. 3. If there is window on the same wall as the bed: and the concern is either rain blowing into the room and or cigarette bud being blown into the room. Or allow a child to climb and have access to the window from the bed. 4. Having a bed-head facing one's good direction is NICE-to have and not a must have. 5. Thus overall, based on your description, both seems acceptable. However, again you also consider where is the wardrope. And avoid having the bed at a corner of a room - without any circulating ventilation.

1. Some guidelines for an altar:- 1.1. Must not be fancy rainbow colours - like a circus - colour. Colour has to be "serious". Can be any tone of wood or wood grain or artifical wood - laminates. 1.2. All types of wood tone colours can be fine e.g. rosewood, teakwood, oak, maple, beech, nyatoh or pine. 1.3. If painted or laminated, can be white, off-white, cream beige, brownish colours. 1.4. Only thing is that the material of the table top MUST not be glass or granite or marble or any of such materials that can break and crash. However, there is no issue with the table top being wood and a piece of glass placed to protect the surface of the glass.

One can still use wind chimes within these sectors other than the following:- 1. Try to use a 6-HOLLOW rod wind chime. Avoid using solid rods. 2. So long as there are no Chinese temples or cemetry along the NE or SW "line".
