You are correctly. Most likely you have at least two or more major leaks especially leaks involving Shapes and Forms in your present home.
If you can scan or draw a sketch of your layout plan with furniture, feel free to post it to this forum to me to make comments to throw light to your present situation.
Warmest Regards,

1. The con artist!
2. For the last month, this guy never gives up!
3. The most recent is a " Masato " name.
4. So far no Chinese uses such funny nickname. This name sounds more like half Japanese and half African name".
5. It is very difficult to swallow such a name with a Chinese surname such as Chan.
6. Interestingly all their e-mails try to attract our greed by quoting figures in US$30,000,000.00 instead of US$30m.
7. This persisitent "pest" never fails to amuse with all his antics!
8. Unfortunately for some, Greed begets greed! But it is always the victim that learns a painful lesson.
-----------------------------------------
From: "Masato Chan"
Subject: Assistance.
My email: chan100@asia.com
FROM THE DESK OF:
MR. MASATO CHAN.
CHINATRUST COMMERCIAL BANK.
NAN KAN BRANCH, TAIWAN
REPUBLIC OF CHINA
I am Mr. Masato Chan, Bank Manager of Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Nan Kan branch, Taiwan, R.O.C. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6, 1998, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr. Smith Lawrence made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. Smith Lawrence died from an automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Smith Lawrence did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$30,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank
and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Republic of China, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Chinese Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Smith Lawrence so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the
next of kin. We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/ administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the
world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money
will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 90% for me and 10% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above. Upon your response, I
shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address.
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Masato Chan. -

Dear Cecil,
I just reran the yearly flying
star report for my house
(period 7) and would
appreciate your helping me
clarify the following:
The West Sector (my office):
the 20year star (9) vs. yearly
star (8): this relationship is
auspicious. The mountain star
(1) vs. the water star (4):
inauspicious combination and
the solution is using metal to
destroy wood. Is 6 coins
needed in this sector?
With a #4 at this location without any metal at this sector would not be good. Adding 6 coins is preferred. It can further enhance #1.QuoteThe Southwest Sector (my
bedroom):the 20 year star (4)
vs. the yearly star (3):
inauspicious combination and
the solution is to use metal
to destroy wood. The mountain
star (6) vs. the water star
(8): auspicious combination.
Do I need to hang 6 coins
here?
With a combination of #4 and #3; even with a #6 mountain may not be enough if further #4, #3 or even #2 and #5 flies into this sector e.g. in a specific month, day, hour, minute.
The current #6 cannot possibly control anymore as it will be at it's breaking point in trying to contain #4 and #3. Thus it can easily be exhausted.
Yes, hanging 6 coins can further help strengthen the metal at this sector.QuoteThe South Sector (my front
entrance): the 20 yearrr star
(2) vs. the yearly star (1):
inauspicious combination and
the solution is to use metal
to destroy earth . The
mountain star (8) vs. the
water star (6): auspicious
combination. Do I still need
to hang 6 coins here?
It is advantages to hang a 6 coin since, there is currently a strong earth #2 and the current water #6 has already being used to exhaust #2. A set of 6 coins can be used here to further safeguard this sector and also help #1 especially at the main entrance.QuoteThe Northeast sector (my
sister's bedroom): the 20year
star(1) vs. the yearly star
(9): auspicious combination.
The mountain star (9) vs. the
water star (5): inauspicous
and to metal to destroy earth.
Does this sector needs 6
coins?
It would depend on the colour scheme of the bedroom.
If this bedroom does not have any of these elements than it is fine not to place six coins:-
Avoid Earth (yellow, beige, cream)
Avoid Fire (pink, purple or red)
If there is Wood element (green or dark brown) at this sector, combined with Earth and Fire, than, 6 coins should be use.
The colour scheme here implies colour of the wall, wardrope and even bed sheet. (minus the flooring).

Dear Ginny,
1. This is a good idea since it will help the movement of qi.
2. Where possible, this mirror should not face either apartment's door directly. Otherwise, it is acceptable to do so.
However, avoid joining pieces of mirror togehter. If the mirrors are joined it is best to place a strip of wood or lining between the splits as such split mirror lines are inauspicious.

Dear Hoa Luong,
1. In your situation, you should use Period 7 instead of Period 6.
2. The rationale is because; the convenience store is considered as the `heart' of the gas station. As it commands central focus and where human activity centres e.g. billing office, cashiers' counter and some customers walk up to this place.

Dear Cecil,
My gas station building was
built in period 6 (1964-83).
But in 1998, I completly
remodeled the convenient store
section of the buiding (the
store cash register is in the
convenient store), but the
mechanic section stayed the
same.
Now I want to run the flying

mainly to see if the location

any problems, should I choose
period 6 or period 7 for the

Thank you very much,

Dear Jen,
1. I can quite imagine that your front door and frame is indeed contrasting.
2. From a cultural point of view, Chinese do not like contrasting colours. Especially if the contrasting colour takes on to them an inauspicious `statement':
2.1 In the west white is associated purity e.g. a white wedding grown.
2.2 Under the Five Elements, Metal (white) is also associated with purity.
And if we look at a Chinese Luopan closely, it looks similar to your main door but in reverse:
The outer square of the Chinese Luo pan is painted red. This outer square represents the earth.
If we look carefully at the inner circle plate: (circle represents metal) And this plate is represented by the Heavens.
2. From the perspective of a Chinese Luo pan, your door actually symbollically represents this two state: Heaven and Earth.
3. One quite minor analysis is that fire (red) exhausts metal (white). To me there is no issue here.
4. For some Chinese, they do not like white because, some associate it with `death' or a funeral type of situation.
5. In my opinion, Para 4 is just an opinion by some.

Hello, Cecil:
Nice to read your advices.
The front of my house faces
the east -- the direction the
sun rises. My front door is
painted red and surrounded by
white frames. The combination
of those two colors is very
appealing to the eyes -- my
front door is the first thing
people notice.
However, Chinese seem to have

Does the white frame of my

Dear Anon,
1. Under the Five Elements concept, crystals are usually considered as belonging to the earth element. The basis for this rationale is because, crystals come from the earth.
2. It would not be prudent to hang too many crystals in the house.
The `natural' way is the use of chanderliers with glass crystals. This would be the best method without drawing too much `unsightly' attention.
3. Placing crystals at East and South can be a double edged sword as they are made of earth.
4. We should not be placing or hanging crystals all over the place especially if that location has no lighting. Without light to pass thru the crystal, it has no use at all.
5. Furthermore, hanging too many crystals can be unhealthy, over a long period if it is not frequently cleaned: It is far worse to have dusty crystals than none at all.
6. Some FS practitioners may recommend crysals at North-East and South-West but, it is best to confirm the following:-
6.1 Is there sufficient light to shine thru the crystals?
6.2 Avoid too large a crystal.
6.3 Check for any imbalances at this sector in relation of bad earth elements such as #5 or #2 under Flying Star.
7. Some Feng Shui practitioners may say that it is good to use crystals since, under the five elements concept: Earth produces Metal.
8. This is a double edged sword! When we try to introduce METAL cures, we are trying to exhaust earth element.
9. But what is the use of exhausting it but at the same time, we are adding more earth. The result is that we have to add more METAL cures to try and exhaust bad earth!
10. It is because of this reason, why the "smarter" practitioners go directly to using METAL cures than crystals!
11. Overall, METAL cures are more often much cheaper to purchase. Some of us are already in `deep-shit' situations and making them buy more expensive stuffs and when there is no guarantees... is not the best solution.

Dear Cecil,
I need your excellent advice
on a number of queries. Please
do advise on all - I would be
most grateful.
Do any of the foll. cause
negative energies of any kind?
# My sister loves
bougainvillea plants and there
are two of them on the East
side. She plans to shift one
to the N part of the house.
They are big and very thorny.
Will keeping them small and
trimmed help?
This Lunar Year until last day of January 2003; the Grand Duke of Jupiter is located at 180 degrees South. Next year he is located at 220 degrees South.
During this period, a sector known as the Three Killings is opposite the Grand Duke. For example, if South is Fire Horse, than North is the Water Rat.
During this period it is advisable not to disturb North since this is the three killings location as one may have bad luck for several years.Quote# I have started make organic
compost for my plants at home.
I keep it in the window box
outside the sliding windows on
the East side. Will this cause
negativity or is this fine?
# I am facing a lot of illness
in the house since last year -
I have stomach upsets,
headaches; my father has a
relapse of oedema. Do I have
to check for any negative
energies?
There can be two issues:-
1. Make sure that if you are distrubing earth, avoid doing it especially at South sector of the house. As this is akin of disturbing the Grand Duke.
2. For a period 7 house, if the bedroom is at East, and depending on the direction of the main door, this EAST) can be one of the worst locations under Flying Star as the year chart has a #5 misfortune, sickness and the Base 20 year chart also has #5 and some charts may have #2 or #4 or #5 within this sector.
3. Under period 7 house, South can be quite as bad since many of such homes have #2 sickness year and #2 base for the South.Quote# All of last year, I have had
a 5 metal rod wind chime up in
the E part of my house. It
hangs in the small space
behind the sliding windows. Is
there anything about having to
shift it to the proper place
this year, etc?
For the East part of the house, it is best not to use a 5 metal rod (hollow or solid) at the East sector of the house.
The number 5 actually represents Five or #5 or strong Earth. Placing such a wind chime can symbollically increase strong #5 leading to problems associated with health. And prolonged use can lead to family members needing operations!
It is best to take down the 5 metal rod wind chime. The safest is to use a 6 rod metal hollow wind chime.
The easiest to find is one with 6 uneven alluminium hollow rods and the support `roof' of the wind chime is made of wood and the clinger made of wood. This type sounds more.
Although, there is the brass 6 metal rod hollow wind chime, this is very heavy and it also usually has an i-ching (square hole) at the centre of it. This type is ok. But does not make any sound unless it is raining very heavily or if the wind is very strong.Quote# Also, if the rods break, is
it ok to restring them and
hang it up again?
No. Do not use a five rod wind chime as mentioned above.

Dear Kim,
1. Usually figurines are made from clay, ceramic or stone carving.
2. Red represents the fire element.
3. Usually, figurines is considered as belonging to the earth element. And red buddha figurines are considered as belong to a fire-earth combination.
4. Fire earth combination is usually auspicious as compared to a water-earth combination.
5. For the figurines, the attached caricature (not available for mailing list participants - need to use the web forum) has a few advise on the placement of figurines.
6. It is also interesting to note that the coming Lunar New Year beginning on 1st February 2003 in general is a combination of Water (Heavenly stem) with Goat belonging to the Earth element.
Therefore, 2003, can be known as the Water-Goat or Water-Earth Goat Year.
7. During our many talks private and public this year, one can get a glimse of the Year from the attached picture:-
watergoatyear460x309.jpg
Do take a look at the goat:
7.1 Have you ever personally seen a goat (sheep or ram) snokelling?
7.2 Can a goat swim in the vast water surrounding it....

Dear Pat,
1. First, try to determine what are you trying to access?
2. Is it the interior of the home or simply the land?
3. To do either one, please check out this link, first:-
http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm
4. Based on your feedback, a major renovation has been done somewhere around 1980's.
Since you have the loan documents, try to determine exactly the date. If the renovations was completed prior to 1984 (lunar calendar) than you should use Period 6 to assess the interior of your home i.e. checking out the Flying Star numbers in each sector.

Dear Anon,
In Geomancy.net, there are free tools on Flying Star Feng Shui.
Flying Star comes in two dimensions:
A. Horizontal Flying Star or Xuan Kong Feng Shui.
At http://www.geomancy.net main page, you can use the SEARCH feature and you can find many resources on it.
B. Vertical Flying Star House Number for Apartments
This free analysis can be found under http://www.geomancy-online.com
I sincerely hope all users in this forum be more `pro-active' in their quest for knowledge.
I personally feel knowledge is not gained merely by `spoon feeding' but rather, simple tools like SEARCH or even SEARCH using search engines such as yahoo.com or google.com will usually yield results.
By doing so, it gives a good grounding to understand any subject properly.
I therefore, appeal to all new users not to POST messages immediately but rather, try to do more homework.
I know it is tempting to do so, but, some recent postings suggest that some cannot wait and many new users continue to post their Date of Birth (DOB) and hope for a `miracle' to happen.
You do not see any existing users post such questions.
For free advise, the saying goes " God help those who help themselves, first ".

Dear Kwan,
1. I always recommend that one should find out more about each concept using a simple 3 step approach:-
Step 1: What is the purpose of each concept?
Step 2: What are it's strengths?
Step 3: What are it's weakness?
2. For a start, it is always prudent to do some research into the topics:
Eight House
Flying Star
3. In my opinion, there are already lots of responses to the same question that you had posted. And the many of the past responses deal with such questions.
4. There is no floor plan attached. But appreciate if you can understand that the main aim of this forum is to act as a catalyst and not for everyone to simply post their date of birth.
5. I hope that you can understand that it is very easy for forum uses to post date their date of birth. Usually, this specific information is specific to that individual only. And it is so simple to post such information; without regard to the forum moderator's work load. This forum does not promote `self-interests' at the expense of group learning.
6. For those who are new and want to learn more in this free forum, please try to make an effort to go thru or do a SEARCH into the specific topic.
7. Alternatively, users are free to engage anyone they like if quick answers are required.

Dear Anon,
1. Usually, one `leak' is not as serious. But, if there are multiple leaks, than there is cause for concern.
2. Given your general statement, it is difficult to give you a `return' reply. As each situation is different.
3. Some of the questions you can ask yourself (if they are confidential to you):-
3.1 How many years have I stayed here? Or I have recently moved-in?
If one has stayed for many years in the house, then, one can fall back to our personal experience.
3.2 How is my finance?
If both para 3.1 and 3.2 are OK, then there should not be a need to worry about the slope.

Further to what I had mentioned:
This plant can be placed in a water fountain.
Simply stick it into the fountain, place a few smooth rocks around it to secure it or use a small jar to contain it.
This plant can represent the `wood' element in a water fountain at home.
It is best that whenever, we have a fountain a home, try to have all five elements:-
For example:
1. Water - actual water in the fountain
2. Metal - a circle spouting ball or using a circular bowl. Alternative place 6 coins into the fountain to represent big-metal element.
3. Earth - it can be represented the material used e.g. clay or limestone or rock and/or a fountain with a square / rectangular base representing earth element.
4. Fire - can be represented by lighting. Lighting can be turned on by a timer e.g. 7pm to say 10pm each night.
5. Wood - such as this `lucky bamboo plant' or alternatively a potted plant next to the water fountain.

Hi, couuld you help? I've

my questions:
1) Is there a difference in
using the 2 'types' of bamboo
plants generally seen here -
one has 'curled' ends
(curli-cued) and the other is
just straight...
Someone told me to use the
curlicued ones if you would
like your luck to change...and
the straight ones if you want
to keep your good luck...is
this true?
Would putting together
straight and curled ones be
conflicting?
1. The `lucky bamboo plant' is actually called "Dracaena Sanderana".
2. It is very easy to grow as all it needs is some water and it will grow.
3. Taiwan, is one of the major exporters of this minature bamboo plant.
3. In the past, it is often sold straight.
3.1 Only in modern times that exporters of this plant added a `twist' to it.
3.2 So that it makes it asthetically pleasing and as you had mentioned added a twist to all sorts of connotations e.g. a `twist' or change of anything .. one can think of e.g. change of luck, change of fate, even change related to romance.
3.3 It is easily grown indoors and little maintenance if any.
3.4 For the common household, we simply have no time to add additional curls to it. And if we grow it for many years, future growth of this upper part of this bamboo shoots will eventually grow straight up.Quote2) Also, would it be bad luch
to cut-off the leaves/plants
that shoot out/grow from the
tips of these bamboo stalks?
I've had mine for 2 years and
the leaves/plants are about 1
and 1/2 feet already...can I
replant these stalks instead?
Sure, why not. Many plants need trimming and there is no issue in re-planting it.
Frankly, this is not a case of `do or die' senario. Like all other plants, trimming does help promote growth and rejunevation.
Don't worry too much of the significance of twisting. This plant has no magic qualities. It is after all, just an easy growing plant.

Dear Janna,
Information Technology and Country Classification
1. Info Technology
In developed countries or countries with high GDP (especially the US); many of it's business and citizens are plugged into the knowledge economy and the internet.
In many of these countries, the ratio of Personal computers (PCs) are high in relation to it's population. It can be as high as 3 or 5 persons to 1 pc.
2. Current Info Technology's disadvantage is that current multimedia has not caught up with the speed of delivery / privacy of multi media content.
2.1 Thus, it is currently not practical to have smart face reading technologies etc...
2.2 Presently in developed countries, many of those who were young when the PC revolution are now taking reigns of the information market. And many of these group of persons are very comfortable without face-to-face interaction.
2.3 SMS and E-mails are their means of major communication.
3. With the above situation, I personally feel that currently face reading etc... will be side-lined for quite sometime in developed countries.
4. However, for `under developed' countries to Third world countries, those that have majority of population living in subsistence, only a select group can well afford info technology.
5. I can quite understand your situation for the need for more tools for face to face or one to one meetings with clients.
6. This is how it also evolved in my country Singapore. In the past i.e. 1960s to 1970s and to slightly around 1980's many of my country Geomancers have walk in crowds who would like their fortune read.
7. Many of these Geomancers are now hoping and praying for someone to walk to their stall.
8. This state of evolution will be evident for similar countries going thru this cycle of country development.
9. In my opinion; the country that will most likely to succeed would be China. I am saying it not because I am an overseas Chinese but rather, China's model is a controlled environment, but yet, flexible to allow for stability and growth.
10. One advantage of the Chinese people, is that many have adopted confucious models of filial piety and wealth is actually, making sure that their next generation receives the best education no matter what. I attribute this to the key success factor of nation building.
11. In my opinion, China leaders have always looked at Singapore or studied the model used and the methods used by our Senior Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
12. I sincerly hope that all other former communist countries, take long term growth into account and for progress, there must be some stability and pain (suffering).
13. In the future, when multimedia has advanced somewhat, we will launch more resources.
14. In fact, Robert, has been developing the next generation, Knowledge Based system to compliment the adding of learning of resources and the delivery to all users in this website.
15. In a few months time, you will be able to use much of the free resources in this forum in many different ways: both for many of the universites which use the resource here and the common man, who can read, post, retrieve messages.
Cheers to all in 2003!

Dear Janna,
1. Thanks for your feedback.
2. Yes, in the future, it would be interesting to include what you had suggested. Maybe when we retire.
3. Honestly, at present, with the enormous growth of the internet coupled with many visits coming to Geomancy.net, we already are working nearly "round the clock".
4. In the past, I never thought that Geomancy or geomancy services can be like the equivalent of " Forex (foreign exchange bank staff)".
5. Singapore is located at +8.00 GMT and in the past, you see Forex agents, waiting for the major stock markets like New York to open.
6. Here, at Geomancy.net, we work close to 16 to 18 hours, serving clients:
7. For example, our first clients start off from New Zealand & Australia, Russia, then Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia etc... then India, Europe, US.
8. It is interesting to note that for removing mole, we often do not go for surgery. Simply removing one's hair, it is tied on a mole. In a few days (to a week) the mole simply falls out without a scar.

Dear Cecil,
The portal/links of
?Geomancy.net? has lot of
interesting material w.r.to
Palmistry / Astrology / Facial
Fortune Telling etc, but it
will be great if you can also
post more w.r to Chinese
Geomancy of Facial Reading,
like the following details:
a)Element corresponding to
each feature in our human body
(e.g. Hair / Eyes / Nose etc
with respect to
Water/Wood/Fire/Metal/Earth
elements etc).
b)Should one consult ones ?Ba
Zi?(Pillars of Destiny) and
Seasons, before removing a
?not so auspicious mole?, by
cosmetic surgery etc, for
improving ones wealth/health
etc (i.e. considering the fact
that these moles may represent
an element, and removing this
element, in a particular
season does not adversely
affect the balance of ones
elements) ?
c)Shape of facial features
(nose, ears, eyebrows,
forehead, cheeks, chin, lips
etc), in association with
wealth, health etc.
d)Your opinion regarding this
type of geomancy: Is this
popular this art? Is it
reliable or risky/dangerous?
(i.e altering /removing
certain existing features like
?inauspicious moles? etc in
the human body, to seek better
health/fortune/happiness etc).
Will be glad if you can
provide some material
regarding this legendary
Chinese art if possible (if
not now, may be latter).
Many thanks in advance,
Janna,

Dear Anon,
1. In my opinion, lighting and also music (from Hi Fi or from TV/cable set can help increase the yang energy. (This is not meant at you but it is interesting to note " Music soothe the savage soul ". Classics like Vivaldi 4 seasons etc.. " can have a calming efect.)
And in the day, if you do not mind pop or just simply listen to the radio all day can help the mind at ease. Tune in stations where the presenter or a pair of presenters chalk up interesting converstations.
2. Frankly, it is good for you if you have mobility to move around outside of the house e.g. window shoping or just spent time outside or some heathly gardening.
3. However, if one is in-mobible, than see if one can invite friends to the home.
4. For the Chinese, a popular pastime is `majong playing' (for the fun). I personally do not play this game which requires 4 person. But an interesting thing about this game is that it involves the contact of all the tiles when resetting the game, making quite a din.
5. A positive mind, dieting and staying healthy (or trying to stay healthy) would be very good:)
6. Most of all do take care! GOD BLESS YOU!
Warmest Regards,

Dear Janna,
1. I understand that you are from Moscow, Russia.
2. If one notice carefully, each country has it's distintive cluster of developments.
3. For example, in Singapore and Hong Kong, many Feng Shui practitioners specialise in high rise buildings: commercial, industrial and apartments.
4. For example, in Singapore, approximately 85 percent of the entire population of 4 million people in Singapore live in government subsidised housing. This statutory board is called Housing and Development Board or HDB for short.
5. Therefore, many local practitioners see more (assessment of high rise buildings than say landed property).
6. Similarly, in Taiwan and even in Malaysia, many practitioners do more assessments of landed property especially - if it is not in the city.
7. In my opinion, it is because of the high demand for apartment/flat owners to request for FS audits of their interior, many FS practitioners, focus on the interior. And this is the reason why; audits take on a simplistic approach of the interior.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Janna,
1. In the future, I will post more critical reviews about the three combinations and the combination of 10.
2. For forum users here, the combination of 10 is where all numbers in a sector add up to 10.
3. For example if a sector has #2 mountain and #6 water and base number = #2.QuoteD) Do you think ?Special
Charts? are a favorite with
Feng Shui Masters for
prescribing to their clients,
in Singapore / Hong Kong /
Taiwan etc ? (i.e is it
popular with FS
specialists?)-Your personal
opinion.
1. One must first know the modern history of the upsurge in the use of Flying Star Feng Shui.
2. Many of us are either left or right handed and each of us have an inclination towards either spatial (the arts) etc.. While others are more mathematical.
3. In the late 1970s to 1980's you will find that several graduates in mathematics or in similar field got interested in the mathematical model of Feng Shui.
4. Perhaps, they can relate better to figures (numbers) than say Shapes and Form.
5. Shapes and Forms and Flying Star are on a continuum like hot and cold. Most of us are inclined to one or the other school.
6. But it does not totally mean that those who practise Shapes and Forms do not use Flying Star or vice versa.
7. If one has the opportunity to ask a famous Master of the old, one can learn the the maxim " all roads lead to Rome ".
8. Similarly, if one does Feng Shui assessments correctly, in most cases, (generally), one may lead to the same conclusion.
9. However, no matter how superior Flying Star Feng Shui is, it cannot beat Shapes and Forms. Especially Shapes and Forms of the exterior has very high weightage.
10. You will be surprised to learn of the quality of some Feng Shui practitioners in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
11. In the past, the well educated does not ever dream of a career in Geomancy. And many of those who entered the market in my opinion, pick up a few books and start practising.
12. Many of these practitioners are now in their 60's. Some do well because they try to either learn from experience or trial and error. Others, fall badly on the way-side. Since they do not constantly upgrade or is not plugged into the information world.
13. Many of my country's practitioners have never heard of Xuan Kong, Flying Star.
14. Some use basic theory of The Five Elements i.e. North = water, South = fire and advise their clients based on very limited Feng Shui vocalbuary. While others do or die, use only the Eight House Theory.
15. Frankly, I pity those in practitioners in my country who are 50's and 60's. Many have seen strong competition from scholastic Feng Shui practitioners that not only utilise vast number of tools but also are plugged into the information age.
16. The key success factor since 1980's is the vast information in any language on Feng Shui. And this leads to strong consumer awarness.
17. Consumers of Feng Shui or Geomancy, will force many practitioners to upgrade.
18. In conclusion, I strongly believe that after 2003, many highly educated people will take the lead to bring Feng Shui to the next level.
19. In addition, with the internet, it will bring everyone closer together to pull their experiences. Here, we can for the first time, realistically try to use concepts, ideas and cures that work for most people. And discard the not so reliable concepts.
20. You will be surpised to learn that to-date, even in my country, the majority of practitioners are simply just looking within the four walls with notions about wealth corners without first fixing the leak.
21. Many of my country's practitioners are lucky because majority of people in my country have good work attitude, majority being Chinese have good family bonding etc...
22. And it is because of this Man Luck (Human Luck) factor, that whatever they recommend, seems to `work' as Man Luck can in many circumstances reduce somewhat poor Earth Luck.
23. My advise to those who `swear' by Flying Star Feng Shui is to step back and not be too obsessed with it. It is by far, only part of the arsenal of tools in Feng Shui.
24. And many practitioners become too academic in applying it without looking at the bigger picture of the External environment, site, land, building and apartment or house.
25. The clue here is that if we want to employ the arsenal of Heaven Luck (Pillars of destiny) with Earth Luck especially Flying Star, it all boils down to balancing the Five Elements. And also relating it to time dimension as each element has it's highs and lows.

Dear Cecil,
I was glad to receive your
inputs, but however seeking
more discussions on this
subject, as below:-
A)Which of the following can
one hypothesize (without
taking into account the
personalization of the stars
to a person?s element, at the
main entrance)?
1)Three combinations chart
although not the most
auspicious chart, but a chart
with minimum number of leaks,
when compared to other charts
in Flying Stars Feng Shui.
2)Three combinations chart is
more auspicious than a chart
with double 7 in the main
entrance during period 7 or a
chart with double 8 in the
main entrance during period 8
.
3)Three combinations when
cross-referenced with yearly
star and monthly stars, will
bring about the least
imbalance of elements in a
palace without any cures to be
placed.
OR
?Any other hypothesis, which
will better suit??
B)Personalization of Three
combination chart, to the
person and the house:
Given your below explanation,
can we deduce the following?
1)The elements in the main
entrance of three combination
chart should be favorable to
the breadwinner(other persons)
of the house. E.g the THE
TRIGRAM KUA NO of the person
(the self-guardian element),
should be supported
by(productive cycle) the BASE
STAR of the Flying Star palace
in the main entrance of the
house. Similarly, the Water
Star of the FS palace in the
main entrance of the house
should support (or be
controlled by ) the person?s
guardian element, for GOOD
WEALTH. Similarly, the
Mountain Star of the FS of the
Entrance palace should support
(or be controlled by) the
person?s guardian element, for
GOOD HEALTH.
2)Similarly the Ba Zi element
(Day element) of a person
depending on Strong / Weak
character, should be supported
(not controlled), by the BASE
STAR (for suitability to the
house) , WATER STAR (for
Wealth) , MOUNTAIN STAR (for
Health) at the entrance
palace.
3)Similarly, analysis for the
most used palace by the person
e.g bedroom etc.
4)All analysis to be made for
YEARLY STAR for each palaces,
for placing cures, except for
?the Entrance Palace? and
?most used palace?, where
monthly analysis also needs to
be done (i.e 5 star
analysis-i.e WS, MS, Yearly
BS, Monthly Star, Natal Base
Star), for placing cures
5)Utilize the five element
concept (inter-relationship)
and timeliness to enhance the
good star, and reduce the bad
star effect, taking into
consideration the Yearly, and
Monthly stars.
C) Can the same analysis also
be used for ?Combination 10
special charts??
D) Do you think ?Special
Charts? are a favorite with
Feng Shui Masters for
prescribing to their clients,
in Singapore / Hong Kong /
Taiwan etc ? (i.e is it
popular with FS
specialists?)-Your personal
opinion.
Thanks in advance, so that one
can understand and appreciate
the ?special charts? better.

Dear Janna,
The key success factor here is to make sure that one is very well versed in the Five elements concept.
And also use another tool of Flying Star Feng Shui: the Eighty-One combinations interpretations.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Janna,
1. Yes, some practitioners call this: the 3 combinations of 1,4,7 or 2,5,8 or 3,6,9.
2. If one looks closely at each sector, that may have any of the three combinations, the fundamental idea here is that one MUST look at all three numbers in a combination e.g. 1, 4, 7 and relate this to the Five Elements Concept.
3. When we chart a Flying Star Chart, some sectors have double 7's. In such a situation, water is used to enhance the double 7 metals in a Period 7 house with double 7's at the main door.
Often many practitioners even today, simply look only at #mountain and #water star. And perhaps for this reason, it is best to look closely at all three #mountain with #water with #base number.
4. If one looks closely at the three combinations, it can only be effective if each bad stars in each of the sector has been neutralised or good stars enhanced.
5. In a real authentic Flying Star analysis, each sector's elements are being looked at closely and each sector has to be properly balanced. This is based on the lowest common denominator: The Five Elements concept - weak or strong elements per element.
5.1. Therefore, there is nothing really special in the charting.
5.2. No matter how, one has to chart a flying star chart based on the exact main door direction. And the stars will fly according to a given period.
6. In a full 20 year flying star chart not only each sector ( 2 stars and base are analysed), the 81 combinations are also looked at etc...

Dear Vivi,
1. My earlier comments are very general.
2. In my opinion, the statement has to do more with my personal preference.
3. Actually, black represents the water element. (Water element is either blue, black or grey).
4. In general, since water element does not increase or aid bad earth sickness elements. As compared to yellow or fire element. Especially yellow / beige. Particularly for houses under Period 7. And bedrooms are especially in the EAST. And in some layouts, South is equally inauspicious.
5. In my entire life, I have never used black pillows, therefore, have not considered using it in the future. Personally, I do not mind driving a black car, but, not use black pillows. Again, this is my very personal preference.
6. I am sorry, if the statement below caused you concern. I sincerely apologise for it.
7. In Feng Shui, there is another important influence: I summarise this as " How Thick Skin Are we? "
8. We hear that it is a MUST not to place a mirror facing our bed. The reason is because when we sleep, some suggest that our spirit, leaves our body. And if it sees itself in the mirror, it will get a shock.
But, what happens if this spirit is immune to the mirror. It would perhaps wanted to check out and comb itself to look nice before wondering out.
9. It boils down to how sensitive are we? Some of us can take very hot chilli or much hotter than tabasco sauce while others, cannot even take a little chilli.
10. On one hand we have Earth Luck (Feng Shui). But often, many human beings have very (very) high tolerance of our environment. Here, we say that our Man (human) Luck can sometimes overwhelm our environmnet (Earth Luck).

Dear Shrex,
1. In traditional Feng Shui, the most accurate way of finding the wealth spot is to use Flying Star Feng Shui.
2. The key ingredient or most common wealth enhancement is the use of a water position.
3. Under The Five Elements concept, Metal supporst and help water.
4. Thus, under 20 Year Flying Star Feng Shui of a house, metal elements are detected and at the same time a location checked to see if a water position can be placed there.
5. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, the most common `wealth' spot is at the frontage i.e. clear space at the front.
6. Often a Ming Tang or bright hall is located here. This Ming Tang can be a semi-circular pool radiating outwards. Since water is relatively flat, it helps to increase clear space.
7. In my opinion, many Feng Shui practitioners take advantage of our personal `inner greed' to make much of the so call wealth corner.
8. Please read my most recent posting to this forum for Feng Shui gimmicks. Do a SEARCH in ths forum for the keywork "gimmick" to find out more.
9. Even under Flying Star Feng Shui, the wealth spot or water position can change, in a 20 year cycle, a year, a month, a day, an hour a minute.
10. If the wealth spot is so simple to locate, how come we cannot buy a one page book that says here " X marks " the spot.
11. Many of the recommend wealth spots are purely psychological. Perhaps, it may help in our Human (Man Luck).
12. For example, some FS practitioners give the remark that it would make us feel nice to see coins at a corner `growing'.
13. And for most of us, if someone tells us that a spot is our wealth luck, we would be more conscious of that location and do regular space clearing (leaving it mostly clear and cleaning it if it gets too dirty).
14. Space clearing, does help to revitalise the flow of qi.

Please take note that a relationship is throwing two strangers into a jungle.
" The Courtship Graph " (C) Cecil Lee
Stage 1 - LOVE IS BLIND! LOVE IS PERFECT!
=======
Usually, at the start, love is blind. We are blinded by all the faults and imperfections of our partners.
Stage 2 - I HATE WHAT HE/SHE DOES
=======
We begin to `pick' on all the bad habbits or we continously discover that our new found partner's various bad habbits.
Stage 3 - VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS OF SIZEABLE PROPORTIONS
=======
We suddenly begin to quarrel and on many occassions, even break-up.
Stage 4 - KNOCK KNOCK - SIMON SAYS...
=======
Are we still on? Sometimes, relationships continue and break-off. While others endure forever!
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
