The 20 year flying star has a strong metal = #6. Plus a good water star #1 with current prosperity #8. In general, it is sufficient to take care of the yearly #2. Even without metal, the sector on it's own (in general) would be able to sustain a #2 "hit". Unless there is a yearly #5, then we may consider using metal. But in the current situation, it is best to leave this sector alone. Since strong metal #6 is already present. And too much metal is detrimental to #1 water star. Too much metal, may create an over imbalance and suppress #1. Quote: Katrina L. wrote: About the natal flying chart of our period 6 house, our main door is located in the West sector with 6m, 1w and 8b natal stars. Since #2 annual star for 2009 will be located in the West, will it be enough to put metal objects near the entrance to suppress #2 (now that you know the natal stars of our West sector?).

Based on some customs: If the day is only a mixed blessings or inauspicious (not Very inauspicious) and for practical reasons, the 2nd person may enter the home (later) usually a few hours later (if they really need to be present) in the home.

Yes based on your initial assessment, using metal is a better choice - on your description. However it is still best to look at the 20 year flying star numbers and even the yearly stars. But metal is often in general the safest cure. As you have mentioned fire may accidentally inflame bad earth.

Yes it is possible to do so.

Yes, in my opinion it is acceptable to do so. If too small is considered only a play thing.

It is good to have the water feature. And it is good to drown #5. SW happens to be also the "indirect" water wealth spirit location. And advantages to have a medium to large sized pond at that location. Quote: I have a SW1 facing house with a sum of ten configuration, does that mean that because the front of the house has a mountain star #5 I cannot activatethe waterstar#8with yang water? I was planning to put a koi pond just outside the front door? How come some say that if you put a yang water feature where a bad mountain star this will effectively ?drown? and inactivate the bad mountain star?

1. Frankly, especially if one is single, not only yourself but many teenagers have idols. And many of your age have pin-ups like what you have described. It is totally fine! 2. This is unlike a situation, where one is married and have this 60's pin-up in the master bedroom. Here, it would invite "jealousy" by one's partner! Especially if the only pin-up is of this lady and not your wife! Go ahead, to place the picture (photo)! Especially since it will make you happy and all these personalisation makes for a cosy room!

1. As mentioned in an earlier reply, the Eight House is limited in scope as it merely helps one understand which sectors are good for an individual and what is there best facing direction for sleep, work/study. 2. Other than that it does not offer any cures whatsoever. Plain and simple: "Either you spent time, at that sector or cannot spent time at that sector" or "Either if you can sit facing a good sector, if not, TOO BAD!"

1. The test is whether the granite boundary wall is "tall" enough and/or "blocks" the view of the poison arrow to the main door. 2. Best to stand inside the home (main entrance area) and look outside. Imagine whether the structure pose a threat directly towards the main door. And if the structure is sideways, then it is no threat. 3. If still in doubt and if it is still considered as posing as a threat then, you may consider either: a ba gua convex mirror or a 6 hollow rod wind chime (as a viable alternative).

1. In real life situations; we should consider concepts under the Eight house as "NICE-to-have" and not a "MUST-have". 2. It is best to find outwhat is the true purpose of the eight house theory and what are it's strengths and limitations:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Three-Step-Approach 3. It works "best" when one is actively searching to buy a new home or remodelling a complete new home. 3.1. Here, it is good to locate sectors are good for us, as bedrooms or locations that we spent most time at. 3.2 Next best is to see if we can sit facing one of our better directions. Other than the above, the theory is limited. As in a real life practical world, often, the facing direction of the home may not be suitable to us. 4. The facing direction is best analysed using the Flying star and each sector under this concept, can be fine tuned. 5. While the Eight house has no "cures". it is either you spent time there, face a good direction (full stop). 6. As mentioned above, it is nice to have the head (bed-head) face a good direction. And Eight house theory cannot do more than that. And for NW, you have to pass it to Flying star to determine what are the stars there and their influence, any cures or imbalance based on the flying star. Quote: 1) Based on "8 house theory:, our main front door is located in the East area of the house(auspicious), but the door is facing/direction to NE(inauspicious-death). How to solve this problem ? which one is more important (the area position or the direction)? Do we need to direct the door to east area? 2)It also happened with the bedroom. Our head direction is toward SE(auspicious). However, the bedroom is located in NW area of the house(inauspicious area). Any way out to this matter ?

1. Based on your description, your house should be safe from the sharp pointed roofs. Also make sure no pointed roof is aimed towards any other openings such as a window of your home. 2. Otherwise, from your description this situation is a non issue for your home.

1. Most likely, you may have to do like most people do, i.e. go with your personal feelings. 2. If you want to apply proper Feng Shui to evaluate your home, then the advice for a newbie is: Rome is not built in a day, and if you want to DIY Feng Shui, then like any other subject, one must invest in time and knowledge. Alternatively, if one is impatient and need immediate answers may consider hiring a practitioner, instead.

1. In theory, some Feng Shui practitioners automatically find that anything out of the ordinary is no good. 2. In my opinion, as the slanted ceiling is unlike a concentrated beam, should just leave it as it is. 3. A concentrated beam is no good as there is suppose to be a higher compression below it. While the slanted ceiling is totally flat much like a double decker bed which has a large flat surface. 4. Furthermore a higher ceiling improves air circulation or aids better dispersion of heat more efficiently. 5. For me, I would not be too concerned with it.

Does your home have fencing, and gate. If so, for example if there are say wooden horizontal strips of wood on them such that it acts as a shield then this is the best transparent solution without resorting to a convex bagua mirror.

Yes, symbolically, a good company logo should avoid anything that signifies cutting, slicing or pointed sharp edges towards the wordings.

1. Best colors are: water: blue. black or gey and wood: green or wood tone or brown

1. Given the limited space in your dorm, it is still acceptable. 2. If u feel uncomfortable, try to close the bathroom door when not in use. 3. The major concern is to avoid legs facing the bedroom door.

1. Please don't jump to the wrong conclusions. 2. Feng Shui also concerns with the amount of sun-light (or direct sun-light) coming into or "soaking into the walls of a home". 3. Please check out my previous postings with reference to Para 2. 4. Para 2 has nothing to do with Compass School of Feng Shui. Although, all "leaks" including Para 2 may add up to cause further problems. 5. Para 2, is about either the effects of direct sun-light (raditation) or heat (walls soak heat and slowly releases the heat in the evening - especially concern for countries close to the equator).

Please see attachment for the centrepoint. And facing direction of the home.

Quote: 1) our house is located in the corner(cul de sac), so we have 2 directions (NE & SE). The Main front door towards NE, but we have doors that get the most air flow from the garden (toward the SE), so am I right that our house is facing to SE actually ? And, the 4 symbolic animal should applies to this facing direction, rather than from the main door position? If so, the dragon will be in our garden (lower than the house, is this ok?) 1. More importantly, determine the frontage. Based on your description, it would seem that your home should be considered as SE facing. 2. In general, the 4 symbolic animal should apply to this facing direction.

1. Since your home is a landed property, usually, the facing direction is where you usually stand (inside the home) e.g. at the front lawn directly looking outwards of the home especially (it may be the main gate.) 2. Thus, from your description, it does not seem that your facing direction should be taken from your main entrance door direction. 3. Generally, many home's facing direction is as shown in the attachment. Where one stands under the purple "A" marking and taking a reading towards purple "B" marking. It may be different in your case, but, try to check out if the above, is possible or not. Quote: Dear Cecil, Please help me to find where are the mountain star 6 and water star 8. My house built in 1954 main door facing South and a tiny bit to the E, because the lot is facing the street on the West side, So my front door is basicly facing the neighbor front yard. I have 2 back doors, one to the North and one to the East. We don't use the North door, we only use the door to the East side because this is where we have the big fruits & flowers garden and play yard for entertainment. Please give me some advices,

1. What you had mentioned is purely on one's ba zi element. Ba zi also has other factors like personal luck periods, and even business luck during any period. 2. In your case, if you want to look at "geomancy", usually your ba zi, is looked at and another factor may be the Feng Shui of your home or office. Thus it may not necessarily be or not (from) all family's ba zi. 3. Thus at the moment, it can be anybody's guess as to what may be the problem.

1. Frankly, the three-legged toad is considered like any other decorative figurine (full stop) 2. In symbolism, it is always good that figurines kept in a home, especially those that have an opened mouth, should have something in it's mouth. 3. The best thing you can do is to use any ordinary coin and stick it or (use blue tag or double sticking table). 4. Usually if it is a dragon figurine, a "fake" pearl in it's mouth would be an excellent choice. For this three-legged toad mouth, go for Para 3. Para 4, as a last resort.

1. In fact, as far back as 13 years ago, there was this "argument" with regards to Northern or Southern hemisphere. 2. The concensus amongst MAJORITY or ALL Traditional Masters is that there is no change. Everything should NOT be mirrored. 3. Majority of the feedback was:- 3.1 Many of the concepts use the lowest common denominator: The Five Elements concept. 3.2 Even in the Southern Hemisphere, North is North, South is South (unless one is exactly at zero degrees at North or South pole). Who lives at the North or South pole! 3.3 Thus just because the demonstration that when we empty the wash basin, the water "tornado" flow is a reverse or different in the north or south. 4. Thus, if one mirrors the concept to suit South is not a common practise by many Feng Shui masters.
