1. Missing corner(s) depending on where it is can have an impact on the Feng Shui of the home. 2. In particular, if the missing corner is at the NW sector which affects the "head-of the house". Quote: We will soon move to a new apartment with a missing corner East, facing NW 3. Not sure what you mean, but hopefully it is not para 2, above. 4. For landed property, landscaping such as from a "top-down" helicopter view, one has landscaping e.g. plants or bushes or something that forms the outline of the missing corner would be best. And at the corner, a lamp can be placed at the corner.

1. Yes, what you said is absolutely, correct! 2. As once we purchased a home (especially a built up home), we cannot just change it's environment nor the site. 3. Thus do or die, Shapes and Forms Feng Shui has to be correct! 4.1 Yes, in addition to wrongly calculated ba zi; it is correct that we may even get the birthdates wrong. In Singapore, Malaysia, also, many do not report the birth of their children early - especially in the 1920's to 1940's. And some people only go to a police reporting station several weeks later and their birthdate is "stamped" that day! 4.2 This is why only the experts, are confident of using only the Ba Zi method, fully. But again, it makes more sense not to place all our eggs in one basket. 5. Frankly, for everyone, especially a novice:- 5.1 My advise is that proper understanding of concepts is really commonsense than rocket science. 5.2 Never, never tempted to buy products in the name of Feng Shui unless they are traditional "cures" or enhancements. Selling products is very lucrative, but, in my opinion is a "dishonest" way of living off others! 5.3 Any concept that is "timely" is definitely a better bet than "fixed" or longer period. 5.4 All famous Chinese Geomancers in the past, learned from books and what sets them apart is that they pick out concepts that works for most people most of the time and discard concepts that don't often work. 6. Know one's strengths! Most of us are either inclined towards Left or Right Brain! 6.1 For example, in the US, those that are better at the arts or humanities, go to ivy league schools like Harvard to learn Law or Human Resource Management etc. Those who have children that are more inclined towards mathematics may sent their children to MIT or UCLA. 6.2 Thus, in the wonderful world of Chinese metaphyics; some of us are more inclined towards: Shapes and Forms = spatial and random. While some are more inclined towards mathematics = Flying Star. 6.3 For example, some can easily see a sector has a "dragon " or a "mountain' (Shapes and Forms inclined); while others need mathematics.. e.g. OH! THE mountain star #8 is here! 6.4 But to be a reknowned Feng Shui expert one must try to "assimlate" or be good at both methods! This makes a well rounded Feng Shui master! 6.5 Most Feng Shui masters, often are more inclined to Shapes and Forms and "forced" to appreciate the mathematics or logical Flying Star Feng Shui. 7. Whenever, I discuss Feng Shui with a client, whenever, the mathemathics part of Feng Shui comes in, their eyes light up especially when they themselves are an accountant or an engineeer. But when describing "the dragons and tigers" of the Shapes and Forms, they have a harder time to relate to. P.S. Currentlyfew practitioners and sites that don't sell products, I hope everyone can support : "When the buying stops!, the Selling (of commercial FS products) can!" i.e boycott or tell your friends about the "dishonesty" of sellers of such products!

Thus usually either "Method 1" or "Method 2" or "Method 3" are applied:- 1. Method 1: Gua + Flying Star + lastly Ba Zi Check one's Gua number Check Flying Star numbers and finally see if "we can in-corporate" one's personalised ba zi element (especially favourable colours to the room) 2. Method 2: Purely ba zi As majority of the time, Gua numbers conflict with Ba zi, both don't go hand-in-hand! So, in the first "round", either Gua is used OR Ba zi is used. As both methods conflict! 3. Method 3: Ba zi +(Gua- directions) +Flying Star Here, ba zi is used to review how suitable the house is and individual sectors. [Gua - best bed-head directions or work study directions can still be applied but often not it's component of 4 best sectors could or could not be applied.] Next, Flying Star is applied, FIRST or considered first. Then Ba zi (especially colours - can it be incorporated, here). For example if the sector has bad #5 with #2 (earth / yellow) and the ba zi best colours are Yellow, cream or beige. Then, we have to forgo YELLOW since it may trigger #5 or #2. Thus flying star "colours" take precidence to one ba zi colours, first.

1.1 The clue, here is "Compass School" of Feng Shui". 1.2 When we consider the Feng Shui of a home, we have to apply both Shapes and Forms and Compass School of Feng Shui. 1.3 Thus Compass School of Feng Shui have two parts:- Personal: Your Gua / Kua number House Feng Shui: Applying Flying Star Feng Shui. 1.4 Therefore if one's aim is to apply "Feng Shui, then Gua and Flying Star takes precedence over Ba Zi in most instances. 1.5 This is the most common approach. And Ba Zi is "nice to have" . For example, colours are often used. Thus, if possible, personal ba zi colours are used to harmonise the individual's bedroom. 2. Therefore, Para 1.1 to 1.5 are said to be a series of the more common approach to Feng Shui. And most popular. 3. The Ba Zi method can also be used. But often, as you have deduced, often it clashes badly with the Gua method. 3.1 Many practitioners, EITHER practise Method 1 : Para 1.1. to 1.5 OR stick only to the Ba Zi method. And often the ba zi method is impractical to be mixed with the "method 1" as mentioned above. 3.2 Why? 3.3 It has to do with the term "Garage in garbage out". 3.4 There is a higher chance that one may get one's Ba Zi element wrong! And this will totally change the outcome or result! 3.5 For example, there is a vast difference between a weak fire or a strong fire person! If the ba zi is calculated "wrongly" imagine; it is totally RIGHT or WRONG, no half way answer. 3.6 For example: a weak fire person: South facing is excellent as south is fire and fire helps the weak fire person. But if the person is a strong fire person, south is not good for him/her! 4. It is very rare that one gets your Gua / Kua number wrong! Nowadays, you can also check out many gua calculators or even the manual calculation of gua is easy even for a 12 year old child! 5. But, for Ba zi, I am afraid, some sites may not properly know how to or is inaccurate. Thus, there is a very high incidence of getting wrong, here!

In my opinion, an airline pilot has to do with earth element as earth element is related to transportation. And a plan literally is a transport be it transport of passengers and/or cargo. Thus airlines are typically in the area of "transport". Although, another way of looking is that these transports are mostly "metallic". Thus the career element is earth, but surrounded with "metal".

Nowadays, eight out of ten Geomancers sell products! Even a Judge said that he was previously CONNED into buying such a product! Where is the SELLER now?

In a past Germany, study, it was found that there was a high correlation of cancer especially when a bed was placed above sewerage pipes running beneath the home! Avoid, sleeping with the sewerage pipe running below, one's bed!

1. Usually, the origin of the "white elephant" comes from Thailand instead of China. 2. In the past, elephants were revered especially in the north. And elephants represents strength and good fortune in China. Chinese figurines often have children or a child riding on it to symbolise "fertility" and "wealth". 3. In my opinion, the white elephant has more to do with Thailand. As White elephants are rare and the King of Thailand, is the only one that keeps or considers white elephants as sacred and thought to bring good fortune. Thus anyone in Thailand that can "supply" a genuine White elephant to the King (Thai King) will be well rewarded! 4. In Thailand, the King has a team of experts that examines an elephant (based on well written documents to determine whether it is the rare white or simply a common greyish elephant. 5. Laughing buddha with children often symbolises, good fortune and happiness (ahappy family unit).

If this present was ever given to China's President... World War III may have just arrived! Never give a Chinese a CLOCK as a gift! Even if it is very valuable or a quality antique!

A "Class One" Mountain star = Safe! Let's home this time round, the floor can support the safe! (or Mountain)

To activate a mountain star #8, one may consider a home safe as a "solid object" with mass."

NO TWO HOMES ARE THE SAME! A Ferrari?? 1. Not all EXISTING homes may benefit from Feng Shui. 2. For example, even before some homes were built, they were "condemned" when the drainage out of the home cause loss of wealth and/or power and authority. 3. Some homes can benefit directly, for example, the living room is at water wealth location. And, activating such a location can result in a 1,000 cc house (car) turning into a Ferrari. 4. Unfortunately, for some homes, it will forever be equivalent to a 10 year old run down 1,000cc car; such as this caricature, shows:-

The drainage of ALL PLOT of land can affect either wealth retention, wealth accumulation or becoming successful or powerful in business or even in politics! Most plot of land have TWO or THREE directions where drainage out of the property can yield: either $$$$ or Power and authority! And the rest of the drainage, depending also whether drainage goes from left to right or right of the main entrance will affect your wealth or power and authority in business, career or politics.....

The dreaded number #3 in the Flying Star vocaburary has to do with Conflicts, Quarrels, Scandals and Lawsuits.... Oh My GOD! How do I disarm it?

A west facing home may result in family members becoming "suntan". For example, in a high rise with many parts of the home facing west, direct afternoon bringing UV lights may penetrate several living areas of a home!

In one's ba zi, there is the Ten Dieties numbers. In this example, the female's Power of authority is very high! While the male (potential husband is low)! This indicates that should the two get married: the female may most likely dominate the male at home : Managing his cash! In Singapore, we can say " The female becomes the Finance Minister. While the male becomes the Minister without any portfolio!"

This home is known as "full of flower of romance"! Amor, Amor, Amor...........

THE DEVELOPMENT BANK OF SINGAPORE *JOKE* A local bank has decided to retrench 900 staff before Christmas, this year. The CEO, asked one of his Senior Managers (SM), if you were to decide who to go, I like to know how you select those to be retrenched. The Smart Senior Manager (SM), first asked a question of his CEO: "Sir, may I know what Chinese zodiac sign are you?" CEO.... wondering why his SM asked this question. But, being curious, the CEO said: "Oh, I am a horse!". SM: "Thanks! I know who we should "get rid off" (retrenched)!" CEO: "Wow, I think I found the right person! You have a strong conviction. Curious, what is your choice and why?" SM: "1. Both of us are a horse". "2. According to the Chinese zodiac, Horse's worst enemy is the RAT". SM: "By getting rid of the rat, you are doing a good service to all of us - horses!" CEO: " I am impressed!" "But, I cannot implement your suggestion!" SM: "WHY?" CEO: "The Chairman is a RAT!" SM: "Oops!" -------------------------------------------------- Later that day, the Chairman sent a pink slip to all those born in the year of the HORSE! Get it??

External Shapes and Forms Feng Shui is very important! Often, if your building does not "suck" your neighbour's wealth, nevermind! Just make sure that your neighbour does not suck wealth from you building! For example, Development Bank of Singapore HQ are squarish: earth building. While United Overseas Bank is tall and thin. Much like a tree or belonging to the wood element. Under the Five elements concept, imagine wood element as a tree with roots. The roots, will gradually penetrate the earth and "suck" wealth from it.

What happens if the world is RULED by bossess who are obsessed with Chinese Astrology.. not your productivity...

Source: http://www.lovesigns.net What happens if the BOSS is a "Horse" while his staff is a "Rat"?

Althought there is such a thing as hourly or even "minutes" Feng Shui, ask yourself a question: Is it practical to do so? This BOSS thinks it is practical! BUT, his staff don't seem to think, so... So who is correct?

Is there such thing as an auspicious length and width for a Company Signage?

Selling products are lucrative and BIG business! Remember, Jaws?
