1. Graphic illustration of best working direction based on the Eight House can be found under this url link:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/perlist-workposition.htm However, this Eight House or Gua 1 (thing) is considere NICE-to have and not a MUST-have. Anonymous wrote: HI , I am seated at the NW corner of my office , i am facing the window and my back is directly facing the door . 2. Your above statement is a concern under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 3. Between Para 1; Eight House and Para 2; Shapes and Forms prevail over the Eight House concept. Here, under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; it is not favourable to seat with your back directly facing the door.

1. This photo was sent by Chinese relatives that had migrated to Indonesia. 2. The photo dates to around 1963. Most likely, family gathering was on a Tomb Sweeping Day. 3. During that time, Indonesia feared communists and all Chinese are not allowed to have "Chinese Names". All Chinese have "Indonesian names, instead". 4. From the picture, even the traditional style of Horse-shoe protective design and elaborate Chinese carvings were not allowed for a tomb site. The only thing allowed was the carving on the tablet in Mandarin words. 5. This was the "penalty" for migrating to Indonesia. As a Chinese, you cannot be a "real Chinese" nor have elaborate Chinese festivities. 6. The writing on the attachment is in Malay language. 7. NO CHOICE, THIS WAS INDONESIA, WHICH FEARED CHINESE COMMUNISM. THUS COMPARE THIS RECTANGULAR DESIGN OF THE TOMB WITH MY GRAND PA'S TYPE OF ELABORATE DESIGN; FRANKLY, IT WOULD NOT GET A CHINESE CUSTOM "PASS MARK'.

1. These pictures were taken someting around 1963 still within the mourning period for my grandfather. 2. The grave site was located in Tampines, Singapore. 3. Family members gather around April 5 of the Gregorian calendar at my grandfather'stomb. This day is known as the Tomb Sweeping Day which also concides with the Clear Bright Festival. 4. If you are wondering; only family members who were still in mouring had to tag squarish pieces of cloth / colour and layers depending on the relationship with the deceased. Such cloth tags are worn on the left sleeve. 5. Can you spot those wearing such tags. Don't be surprised as somein the photos are not family members or immediate family members so they don't need to wearsuch tags.

1. This ffountain has the fish spouting out water 2. You can't find this fountain anymore as this photo was taken around the 1950's. 3. Some scenes of Taiwan in the 1950's. During that time, China was "out-of-bounds". (My family: LEE FAMILYarchive of photos)

1. The free report shows both your element and strength and also you should have taken note of what elements favour strong water person. 2. For example: strong water person favours: Wood element, Fire element and Earth element. 3. In general; once you know which are considered your favourable elements: For a strong water person:- Your career with wealth has to do with Fire element. Your career with power and authority (e.g. high postion) is Earth element. I am sure, you can go do some homework:- http://talk.geomancy.net The above link will show what careers belong to the fire element and earth element etc....

Apologies for the confusion. Yes, thanks for pointing out my typo error. It should correctly be : any odd numbers is Yang : 1,3, 5, 7. Thus I was too quick to type wrongly. Sorry for the confusion. Yin stars are even numbers: which should be 2, 4, 6, 8 etc... Cecil L. wrote: 5. Another type of Yin has to do with Flying Star numbers. For example Flying star numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 are yin stars and a high concentration of such stars on it's own is no issue. But if coupled by too yina sector or

1. If you have correctly identified or had follow what I had described to be or preceived as a threat; 2. Then, if it is at the BALCONY; the most common cure is: to hang a six hollow rod wind chime say at the balcony area. 3. However, please - if it is a bedroom; it is considered not practical to hang a wind chome especially those made of alluminum and wood clinger - why may make "hell" of a noise and disturb sleep. For such cases: either draw the day curtain - ie. if one cannot see it; it no longer becomes a threat OR place a conVEX mirror as another alternative in such instances.

1. You can review some of the past messages:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=26084&new= 2. In addition; if e.g. the sharp point of the room is exactly FACING .. your balcony (opening) or window opening; then this is considered a poison arrow. 3. If your UNIT is higher than the LEVEL of the sharp point; EVEN if one can see the sharp point; this is not an issue. (Only psychology or mental concern only. 4. Further if the sharp point does not aim directly TOWARDS your unit but like one of your photos; it aims towards somewhere else: "how can this be a poison arrow". 4.1 For example, just imagine we are now in 1941. If a german submarine were to launch a torpedo; during that era; all torpedoes are suppose to swim straight to "an object". 4.2. In your photograph, especially those pointed roofs of low level buidings definitely cannot be a threat to your home. 4.3. In addition; unless the SPINE of a church or temple is tangent to as shown under Para 1; then it may be a concern. Otherwise, if one stays in a 360 degree radius to the "offending" object; then it cannot be that all buildings especially the pointed roof could aim at so many buildings at one time.

1. The photo showsmy 3rd uncle who is actually taller than 6ft 6inches. 2. However, if we use a conservative estimate that he is 6 feet high; I measured this coconut tree and it is approximately 60 feet high!

Wow! Can you see how high the coconut trees grow? This picture was taken in the 1950's. Nowadays, such trees are only 1/2 the height of the highest tree in this photo. Cannot imagine if the coconut falls and hit's one's head... As they say... coconuts have eyes... and it was considered rare for any of the fruits to fall on a person's head... The local saying goes... I would rather be hit on the head by falling durians then the coconut. Why? although the durians have spikes; multiple spikes and act like shock absorbers... while a hit from the flat surface of the coconut is deadly!

1. This lady warrior is wearing a majestic Dragon Chinese Opera Costume. 2. Can you see the dragon's face near her lower abdomen area? 3. This photo was taken sometime in the 1950's in Penang, West Malaysia. 4. What a pity if the photo was in colour! Wow... Truly majestic .... and beautiful handcrafted piece!

More visits and more external photos or external views from The Pinnacle at Duxton... Let's hope The Pinnacle at Duxtoncan add a few percentage points to the baby population in Singapore-

1. Generally, this new position looks OK. As the fridge is not directly facing it nor it's doors. So this is acceptable given the small size of the unit. 2. I had already mentioned; the better placement is in RED number "1" or number "2" in an early message. 3. Usually your or the altar is at around 49 3/4 inches height and this is sustainable even with the altar over-looking a dining table : which is very common in a landed property environment. 4. One last point is that : we can only try our best to place the altar at an "acceptable" location or a location that is suppose to be better than the LAST location. 4.1. Other than this; we have to remember that a home or an apartment is a place for us to live in - for what we hope to have a cozy home. 4.2 And our home is not a museum: where this cannot; that cannot.. then why don't we go and live in a hotel instead?

Someone still gets to "benefit" from another's plight. Well this is life does'nt it?

Which career is best for me? What is my wealth career? What is the career that brings me much Power and Authority?

How am I going to lift this solid granite rock to cap this mountain?

1. Of course, we are not able to choose the interior layout plan of our home. 2. This layout plan is considered as "altar" friendly:- 2.1. As the altar is quite close to the centrepoint of the apartment. Thus, there is no such thing as it is located at the inauspicious NE (Devil's gate) and SW (Devil's back door). 2.2. It is also at a location known as "The Sentry Post". Plus for this illustration: the alter is seating at the mountain (wall) facing the water (overlooking the window). 2.3. Often when the altar is located at such a location, directly behind it : the wall or the shared wall; should not place a bed-head behind this wall. For this layout plan, highly unlikely as it would be a wardrope which is perfectly fine! 3. The altar close to the centrepoint is by far the best placing - if the layout plan permits such a situation! 4. Hope that everyone has sufficient information of roughly where is a good place to site the altar.

1. More information about locating the Altar 1.1. As a rule of thumb; the best position as mentioned for the altar is always at a location known as "Sitting on the mountain, facing the water" position. Here, it means the best location was as highlighed in RED marking number "1 ". 1.2. Location marked in RED number "3" is known as the "last resort - Sitting on the mountain, facing the water" if Para 1.1. is found unsuitable. However, for this layout plan; there is another issue: the "direct" afternoon sunlight glare - that should not "pierce" the god figurine. Else imagine "it has to wear sunglasses of sorts. 1.3. Often, between having the altar face "inwards" i.e. facing one's home such as the kitchen, oversee the bedrooms; it is always best that the altar; instead face "outwards". For example, under marking in RED number "2" and if there is no sunlight glare from the afternoon sun or if this is controlled; at RED number "3". 2. Based on the Flying star chart; it should be the typical Period 7, NW 2 /3 chart. This chart reminds me of the heydays especially around 2001 to 2003; where suddenly with another chart North 2 /3 where during those days; "strangely" many of the visits were to homes afflicted by these charts - as luck began to drain especially for those doing own business. 3. The rationale especially for NW 2/3 is that the water star #8 (current prosperity) star is trapped at the centre of the home i.e.signify small luck or no luck. 4. Given that at your balcony has the Mountain star #8 withthe auspicious water star #1 4.1. where #8 = current prosperity star (auspicious mountain) and #1 = future, future prosperity star (auspicious water) 4.2. A proper water feature with all the five elementsis the best for such a location especially if the water feature at least have: - mountain in the form of square or rectangular e.g. fiberglass base and earth materials - to try to activate the very auspicious #8 mountain star. - not forgetting that to activate the water star #1; a proper full feature water fountain as found under this example:- Resource: On what makes a good water feature: http://fountain.geomancy.net Para 2.1 to 2.12

1. In addition to what I had mentioned, earlier about the altar; this illustration shows whether it is better to place the altar "INWARDS" towards human activities in our home e.g. where the god - figurine could look or peep into our various bedrooms, toilets, kitchen and yard. 2. While facing "OUTWARDS" simply means away from most of such activities. Overlooking our living room or dining is traditionally fine or OK. 3. NOTE: CHINESE & EVEN THE PLACEMENT OF THE INDIAN (ROOM WITH ALTAR GODS)PUJA (POOJA) IS BEST NOT TO BE LOCATED AT THE NE (DEVIL'S GATE) AND SW (DEVIL'S BACKDOOR). FOR THE CHINESE, A LUOPAN CAN BE USED IF ALTAR IS PLACED IN THESE TWO LOCATIONS. 4. For Roman Catholics, theirs is only a simple "altar" and often, many Chinese Roman Catholics try to orientate their altar "outwards" if possible. Although there are no rule of thumb for them. 5. Another illustration, shows what is known as "The Sentry Post" altar position. See attachment. Just imagine you have a 24hours guard post guarding the entrance to your bedrooms

A few more photos of the Flamingo flower...

1. I was amazed at how the yellow cane palm, had grown in just 11 over years! 2. I could recall; around 11 years ago, when this Admiralty Drive HDB estate was completed. 3. The yellow cane palm were just "babies" at that time. 4. Nature is indeed very remarkable! As usually the Yellow cane palm grow side-wards much like many other palm or bamboo trees. But this one, grows like a "Tree". 5. For one, I cannot imagine that these trees can grow so tall! Wow! Simply amazing! 6. Sometimes; it is good to look at and admire the beautiful birds and trees! Of course, try not to mimic Jack Neo's past adventure of not just looking at birds; and many reports say he tried to touch them also! The other kind of "young girls". Hahhaha!

These are some considerations:- 1. The first choice for the altar is indicated in BRIGHT YELLOW in the attachment. However, at this location, it is strongly recommended to use those standard altars purchased from most suppliers: where the altar height is around 49 3/4 inches (thereabouts). As it has to face the "dining table". 2. The 2nd best choice is also shown in the attachment under "2ND". However, there should at least be a gap of around 2 to 3 feet between the edge of the altar and the TV console area (if the TV console is mounted at this location). 3. In the attachment; there is also a YELLOW circle with the words "3" in red. This is usually another spot for the altar. However, if there are windows and if they are not drawn down; this location is not auspicious as the afternoon sun shines towards the altar e.g. Guan Yim "figurine". 4. Your orginal location marked in RED is not the best location as often the altar is either "sitting as shown under first choice" or under Para 2, much like those police guards stationed in a box guarding those who stand in the home. Much like those Singapore Minister's home where they have a guard room just outside their main door. 5. As for the water feature, for an apartment, it is best to plot out the Flying Star chart and check where is the WATER STAR #8. This is the best location if it happens to be the balcony area. Or some other stars like water star #1 or if that sector has bad #5 stars which a water position MAY be used to drown it. Otherwise, asking me now, is also like - I have to throw a dice and give you an answer based on it.. You want such answers or not? It is a guess!

Yes, in my opinion; put it this way: this painting is not SPECIFIC (nor focus specifically) to/for marital bliss. For the Chinese, the most common or popular marital bliss sign is the "Double Happiness":- A faint outline of the mandarin character of the double happiness sign can be found just behind the couple in the first picture:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=3794&new= In addition all these photos show a variation or artistic design of the Double Happiness word (character) and symbol:- http://cgi.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/mypictures.cgi?direct=Celebrations_And_Festivals/Chinese_Weddings/double_happiness_symbols This character is thus considered SPECIFIC to the hope for marital bliss "As it symbolically shows two images "Holding" hand and even if mirrored, it looks like a pair. Another clue is that the words (or calligraphy or character) is in the Chinese Auspicious RED colour. As opposed to your painting of the pink peony flower and the two birds are actually the "White-Head birds".

These are some considerations:- 1. You can generate the Eight House report to check on How suitable this house is to usually the male breadwinner under this Free link:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/perlist-suitablehouse.htm 2. For DIY, frankly, you have to do more reading and if possible apply both the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui as well as the Flying Star Feng Shui.

Dear Users, 1. Please ignore the previous salt water cure procedures and even items and ingredients needed for this "Salt water" thing (cure). 2. Instead, please try out this new and improved formula. 3. By the way, if the new formula sounds Greek to you; Then, too bad......
