Dear Raluka,
1. Frankly, I would not say that this is an "untold" secret. This is because there are varied interpretations as to the exact floor level. For example, you mentioned 1 to 5. While other practititoners may consider 6 to 8 or 9 floors.
2. Usually, the major consensus amongst practitioners is the term " the most light " coming into the apartment.
3. Here, often, if one has already stayed into a specific home for some time, some practitioners instead of "arguing" about this "untold" secret may instead draw TWO charts to compare which is more accurate. Here, action speaks louder than words. And this is a more productive way to "trouble-shoot" issues if any.
4. Often a seasoned practitioner would make an assessment based on his/her personal judgements vs this "untold" secret especially for a new apartment.
5. In fact, some practitioners simply look at the facing of the entire building as use this as the facing direction.
6. Therefore, it looks like there can be many "untold" secrets.
Warmest Regards,

Hello,
I've just come to someone's
comment regarding flying star
charts for apartments on
different floors. He says
(according with one of a FS
untold secrets) that for 1-5th
floor flats the chart is based
on the facing direction and
for 6th-up floors, the chart
is based on the main
entrance/door of flat.
Could you please confirm
either this statement is true
or not?
Thank you,

Dear Keith,
Yes, in both your questions, it is best to:-
Step 1: Take care of the bad numbers of each sector of the room.
After doing so, than, use the Eight House. If the sector is not favourable, than, the only other option under this concept is to face a good direction i.e. in particular the Prosperity or Excellent direction. The next two facing directions are Health and Longevity.
Warmest Regards,

Hi,
I am gua 7 and my house (in
planning stage) and main door
is facing NW3 (6,9,8, Mt,
base, Wt) (good feng shui I
presume).
My question is:
(1) The North sector is the
disaster sector for me (from 8
House method), and The flying
stars in this sector are 2,4,4
(mountain, base, water), not
very auspicious I assume.
Could I have my study in this
area? This sector is in front
of property (on hill)
overlooking clear space with
view of the city in the
distance. Is the water star
already activated? or would I
need to activate this star by
placing a small fountain
ouside, or control the
mountain star? or both.
I would place the desk to face
my excellent position(West)
Will these measures be
sufficient to control this
sector and make it appropriate
for my study/office.
Note: the study/office door
will be facing SW (one of my
good areas from 8 House
analysis.
(2) For the bedroom on 2nd
floor, also in West sector,
this sector is 'excellent' for
me from 8 House method, but
appears not particularly
auspicious from the Flying
School analysis (flying stars,
5,1,7 (mountain, base, water).
This sector is also in front
of property with clear view.
Should I go with the 8 house
method? and control the bad 5
star by placing a heavy wood
object in bedroom (any
suggestion ?) and at same time
place the bed facing a good
direction (the SW (health
direction).
Thanking you for your valued
attention.

Keith

Dear Mike,
Frankly, in my opinion, don't be overly worried about this.
This is because "our life is what we want to make of it!"
In my opinion, the danger with reading too much of this can lead into two unhealthy situations:
1. Auto-suggestion
If we tell a sheep it is "stupid" - it does not understand and will not be affected by our statement. But if we were to for example constantly tell a child i.e. he /she is really stupid, in time, the child may feel inferior and have such social issues.
2. Self-fulfilling prophercy
If we do constantly think and act that way, it will indeed come true.
Since we are on this earth for such a short-time, we should try to make the best use of our time, here. What better way to have a rewarding life http://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Dear Sean,
Frankly, although many of us would like to feel that we had consulted someone to give us advise on what type of fish to rear.
But ultimately, often based on man-factors, it is much better for us to appreciate what fish we personally would like to rear.
This is because, often, if we notice carefully, many who rear fish as a hobby - will last longer than those "told" to rear fishes.
Perhaps, this is why, hobbists enjoy more, and appreciate more of fishes. And this has to do also with an element of man-luck factors. Rather than forced to do so.

Dear Emily,
1. Is this home stayed-in for sometime already? Yes/No?
2. If Yes,
2.1 and if one has stayed in this house for a few years e.g. 2 or more years, than, it is best to draw TWO flying star charts: Chart 1 : facing direction - the balcony. Chart 2: facing direction - the whole stretch of the living room.
2.2 Try to check out each sector and in-particular the bedroom sectors to see if the flying star chart matches your current experience you have in your home.

Dear Liam,
Please see attachment. Both Options 1 and 2 are equally acceptable.
If raised lettering is required than go for Option 1. Angle need not be exact but rather, it should look "natural" and pleasing to the eye i.e. not raised too high. Where possible follow close to a 30 to 45 degree gradient will do.

Dear Alice,
Yes, since #8 is considered as the water wealth position (under Period 8), and since there is a #8 at NE. And this COINCIDES with location like the living room, one can still activate a water feature at this sector.
This is suppose to bring monetary wealth.
And at mountain #8 plus the future wealth sector i.e. #9(and one can still activate a mountain star at this sector. This is suppose to activate the health luck or relationship luck.) For the year.
Next year, however, this changes to another sector.

Dear Prudence,
Firstly, try to use a compass and determine the sector the bedroom is in.
Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm
Next, try to draw an Eight House template to check to see if "death" or "disaster" falls in this bedroom. let him sleep further away from this room.
If you know how to draw a Flying star chart, than do look out for #5 (misfortune/sickness) and #2 (sickness). Often, such stars in particular occuring in the 20 year Flying star or yearly flying star at a sector, would affect the household. Here, especially at the mouth of the house - i.e. the main entrance door area where possible do not have the #5 and/or #2.

Dear Christina,
Often, it is highly not recommended to rent an office space facing the famous temple. UNLESS, of course the rent is very attractive.
More importantly, do check the compass direction. Where possible, the unit should not be in a NE (the unit) to SW compass direction. This is particuarly inauspicious "line-of-sight".
Where possible, if the unit is taken-up, than, it is best to install blinds to shield the "direct" view from the temple.

Dear Earl,
1. Usually an apartment is unlike a landed property. Where at least is larger and much easier to analyse than a small tiny apartment.
2. For a small tiny apartment, one school of thought is to look at the entire building and determine the facing and sitting direction, here. This is especially more so since the entrance to an apartment can be at odd directions etc...
In your case, if you cannot really determine the facing direction, than it is best to use the building's facing direction.
As for your second question, it depends.

Dear Peter,
Frankly, if one is in an open space concept and cannot control the layout planning, than there is not much choice, here.
Fortunately, you are not sitting facing the death or disaster sector. Which is worse-off.
Often, in such cases or situation, if we are limited by "earth luck" i.e. location, than what matters most is to boost our "human / man luck". Here, positive work attitude, our PR skills etc..
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
P.S. for the benefit of those who are moving office, often the following ritual are performed:
Select an auspicious date & time for the Office Warming Day.
1 On this day, make sure that all windows, ventilation must be covered up - usually with black paper or cloth. So that when one enters the room, it should be in total darkness.
2 Hang a red banner across the banner of the business.
3 During this time, all electricty to the unit should be off. No equipment is to be turned on.
4 Before the auspicious time, the owner or manager would have to light up a charcoal stove.
5 Next, once the stove has been lighted up, the owner place it a few feet away from the main entrance door i.e. in the middle. And he raises his left foot then right foot and removes the red banner and opens the door. If he has staff, then all the staff do the same.. ie. raise their left foot over right foot and walk into the office.
6 Get help to peel off all the coverings to windows to allow light to come in. And then switch on the lighting in the room and all electrical devices there.QuoteOn 3/26/2004 6:42:59 PM, Anonymous wrote:

Dear Maggie,
If you need a Period 8 chart, please e-mail me privately at : support@geomancy.net (to give u a complimentary free Period 8 report).
And if you need any advise to see if your home can benefit from Period 8 vs Period 7, please also let me know the direction e.g. SW2.

Dear Maggie,
Yes, from your description,
although there are some things
to be completed, but if you
have lived-in your home prior
to 2004 than, it should be
considered as a Period 7 home.
But, if you have not moved-in
yet until the rest of the
things are completed than, you
can check to see if Period 8
is better (or not).
Therefore, it is not so much
of which Period your home is
but rather, if the new period
is better, than, you could
consider changing it to a new
period i.e. Period 8.
The decision matrix could be:
1. My current home Flying star
Feng Shui is not as good as
Period 8 - after investigating
the locations of
bedroom/living room etc....
(Clear-cut) Consider changing
it to period 8.
2. My current home Flying star
Feng Shui is distinctively
better than Period 8. In your
case, if you have stayed in,
it is most likely - based on
your description of
uncompleted work done that
your could still keep to
Period 7.
3. Not to sure. For a house
belonging to an earlier
period, one could
"wait-and-see" and if need be,
later fly to a new Period e.g.
Period 8. Since, if one has
flown to a new period, one
cannot reverse this.

Dear Nhan,
Usually, if you look at my reply, it is often mentioned as "It depends".
This is because if the building is constructed and closed-up (no qi flow), and later, one moves-in (yang qi) than, it is best to take the move-in date.

Some Feng Shui schools recommend placing "yin" water at sectors that is out of balance and require "yin" water.

Here, again, it is used as a cure rather than as an enhancement.QuoteAdding anything to the water

Dear Frank,
This should be seen under the Holy Trinity of Feng Shui:
1. Heaven luck (it is said that what we are blessed with)
2. Earth luck (luck or no luck at all from our home)
3. Human / Man luck factors
Rearing animals is considered as cat 3 i.e. man or human luck factors.
Frankly, there is relatively no problems rearing animals as pets. Since, this past-time is as far back as 3 or 4 centuries ago. Since pets often bring us comfort or even solice.

Dear Alice,
Where possible try not to place it on the same table as Kuan Yin. If it is next to the altar, try to place it at a lower level.
The other trade-off is to place a lotus leaf or even an artificial lotus leaf /flower) in this feature.
Since, the lotus flower is highly associated with Kuan Yim. If one looks carefully at the Kuan Yim figurine, it sits on a lotus flower pedestal.
In general, not a major harm.

Dear Venkat,
Based purely on the layout plan (without) human factor i.e. placement or suitability, I would say Plan2 (or illustration plan2A) is safe since, the water position is not exactly at the centrepoint.

Dear Sor Lan,
Frankly, not sure whether, the ship sails "into" or "out-of" is a sure way to get more money. For sure, the seller of the ship, would instead be garanteed of some profit selling it to us.
Anyway, under symbolism, in my opinion, if your ship is laden with gold ingots, I would have to say that it is best to sail "to port" or face inwards to your home. Here, wealth is suppose to come in.
On the other hand, if the ship is empty, than, "let it set sail outwards" or pointed out of the home.
Do let us know if at the end of the day, do you managed to get more wealth, this wayhttp://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_smile.gif

One thing for sure, it will certainly put a http://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_lol.gif smile on a jeweller's face. In addition, one has to be particularly weary of walking in dark or desolated alleys or even public lifts.

Dear Summer,
Under Geomancy, often the following are the key points:
1. Colours for the company logo
1.1 Often, either and/or : the sole proprietor's ba zi is looked at and/or the type of business is looked at.
1.2 For example, Communication is considered as a water element. Thus, one of the colours is "blue".
1.3 However, sometimes, the sole proprietor's or partners ba zi are looked at to look at a suitable colour.
1.4 For example if the person is a weak wood person.
The company logo can come in three colours:
a. White background
b. Company logo has blue / white and green
1.5 Where possible, try to have THREE colours for the company logo (background included)
Here, three represents progress. While two colours represent death.
1.6 Often, the signage should have odd /even measurements.
1.7 For the business card, standard card size should be ok.
1.8 Company logos:
Squarish or rectangle represents earth element
Circle represents metal element
Triangle fire element
While wavy represents water element
Tall and thin represents wood element.
1.9 Usually most Geomancy companys like Geomancy.net have a service to help identify the colours and suggest the type of shape the logo could have. (Often, the client comes up with their designs and the geomancy provides their input on it). As many Geomancers are not designers, it is the onus of the client to provide some samples to work on it.
Wishing you all the best in your new business!

It would be OK or beneficial for bad stars to be "drowned" in a toilet. This is much better especially for stars such as #5 or multiples of it and/or #2 or #3 to land in this location.
On the contrary, (INSTEAD) it would be a waste for good stars to land into such locations.
For example, it would be "unfortunate" to have say a set of double 8's to land in the toilet bowl!
Warmest Regards,

Dear Cecil,
The bathroom's
annual flying stars are not
good this year
Is it as
important or more important as
the flying stars in the
bedroom or the living room.
In
another way is it a strength
of the flying stars depending
on the location.
Many thanks
and congratulation for your
site.

Dear Anon,
Yes, what I mentioned in the Applied Feng Shui course is primarily based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui.
Since (OFTEN) locations that we can place a water position even under Flying Star Feng Shui have to meet the criteria that there is sufficient clear-space to allow for a water position.
This is why, in some homes, even if the water wealth position such as double 8's under Period 8, can still be at the "sitting" position e.g. the back of the house. And if the back of the house is the lounge or family room or patio, then, this is a favourable location to activate water wealth position.
If the pictures are simply "decorations", then since NW has the water wealth #8, this location can benefit with the activation of a water position, here.
If the location has an altar, than, it would be "inauspicious" to have a water position, there. In your case, it does not seem that way.
Warmest Regards,

Hello Cecil,
in your course,
you insist on activate the
mountain star.
On the water
star you said:
"The bestQuotelocations for activating the
Water Star is at the frontage
of the house i.e. the main
entrance door area and the
living room.
In yourQuoterecommendation to the owner of
the house, always remember of
the concept of `clear space'
or that of a bird roaming
freely at the frontage of the
house and within the living
room area."
I have a water
star (8) on the NW sight of
the living room.
At this place
I have a small round table
with ancestor's photos. Do you
think it is acceptable.
Many
thanks for your kind answer.
Eight House vs House Element
in General Help
Posted
Dear Joan,
The clue here is that both Eight House and Flying Star Feng Shui are compass school Feng Shui - specific to a home/location.
Thus, between Eight House vs Ba Zi, it is often, better to consider more from a Eight House point of view, than the ba zi. However, if one uses the Ba Zi point of view, than, one should consider it in general i.e. the main entrance.
For example, what is one's element and strength?
If say one is a strong water person. Than, a south facing house is considered auspicious e.g. Strong Water destroys Fire (south). Thus is considered a good home for the breadwinner. Thus, when we use the ba zi analysis, do try to see if one is weak or strong vs that facing direction.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
