  1. Does the exercising of the OTP [Option to Purchase] to buy need to adhere to auspicious dates? Or recommended to? Not physical therefore no need. But since dates provided and if one is too free and nothing else important to do, go ahead ….. use it…. - Master Cecil Lee
  2. Geomancy.net's Holistic Approach to Feng Shui 1. Geomany.net's perspective is well-considered and reflects a deep understanding of Feng Shui beyond common misconceptions. Indeed, while the kitchen can influence the energy dynamics of a home, relying solely on its placement or configuration often oversimplifies the complexity of authentic Feng Shui practice. 2. Using Flying Star Theory offers a more dynamic and holistic approach. This method allows for precise identification of energetic imbalances within specific sectors of the house, taking into account the changing influence of time and direction. It recognizes that true harmony results from understanding the interaction of these shifting energies across the entire home, not just from focusing on one area such as the kitchen. 3. Additionally, incorporating the Pillars of Destiny (BaZi) into our analysis adds another layer of depth. By evaluating both parties' charts, you can uncover the elements that bind or challenge their relationship, offering tailored solutions and enhancements for the occupants. This personalized approach is far more fruitful than generalized guidelines. 4. Geomancy.net's willingness to share more kitchen-related tips and to guide others toward searching the forum for existing insights is commendable. It encourages self-education and critical thinking in this field, rather than mere acceptance of commonly repeated advice. 5. In summary,Geomancy.net's comprehensive approach—combining Flying Star Theory and BaZi analysis—not only respects the complexity of true Feng Shui, but also offers more meaningful and customized recommendations for harmonizing the living environment.
  3. To determine the **"Center-of-Gravity"** (also known as the central point or focal balance) of a unit in Feng Shui, especially for the purpose of accurately plotting a Flying Star Chart, follow these steps: Step-by-Step Method **1. Obtain a Scaled Floor Plan** - Use a scaled architectural drawing of the entire unit. Make sure the plan includes all enclosed areas, including balconies (if they are part of the living space), bay windows, and irregular extensions. **2. Outline the Actual Usable Space** - Trace the perimeter of the entire space, including all extensions that form part of the internal area. - Exclude external features that do not directly contribute to the internal Qi (e.g., outdoor gardens, non-integrated car parks). **3. Find the Geometric Center** - Place the plan on a flat surface. - Using a ruler, draw two diagonal lines from opposite corners of the floor plan; where these lines intersect is the geometric center. - For irregularly shaped units, break the plan into simple geometric shapes (rectangles, triangles), find the centers of each, and then calculate the weighted average or visually estimate a central point based on proportion and layout. **4. Consider Qi Flow** - While the geometric center is a starting point, assess how Qi actually circulates. The "center-of-gravity" may shift if there are large open spaces, rooms that act as focal gathering points, or architectural features that draw Qi in a specific direction. **5. Adjust for Functionality** - Avoid placing the center in areas that are unused, obstructed, or physically segmented (e.g., inside a bathroom, closet, or void space). - If the geometric center falls outside a practical area, adjust slightly to the nearest usable, open space. --- ### **Quick Example** - **Regular Rectangular Unit:** Draw two diagonals between corners. The intersection is your center-of-gravity. - **Irregular L-Shaped Unit:** Divide into two rectangles. Find the center of each, then estimate a central point that balances both shapes proportionately. --- ### **Why is this important?** Identifying the true center is key for **Flying Star Chart** placement. This point serves as the origin for compass measurements and sector division, making sure your Feng Shui assessment reflects actual energy dynamics and not just theory. --- Summary The "Center-of-Gravity" is the central, balanced point within your unit's layout—the anchor from which all Feng Shui calculations and energy assessments emanate. Accurately finding this spot ensures your Flying Star Chart will be plotted correctly, resulting in a more effective and meaningful analysis of your home's Qi flow.
  4. In Summary Thank you for sharing your thoughtful perspective. You’re absolutely right about the symbolism of **green** in Feng Shui—it’s widely associated with growth, renewal, and vitality. Incorporating green elements can help enhance the Qi and bring a sense of freshness to a space. However, as you point out, Feng Shui is not a one-size-fits-all solution, especially when it comes to human behavior and interpersonal dynamics. While Feng Shui can improve the environment and potentially promote positive energy, understanding people—their motivations, responses, and interactions—often requires looking beyond environmental factors. **Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny)** offers deeper insights into individual personalities and life tendencies, but its practical application in large groups or organizations is limited due to the complexity of analyzing so many individual charts and their interconnections. For environments with many people, such as workplaces or community spaces, applying principles from **Organizational Behavior** is much more effective. This discipline relies on research-backed methods to understand group dynamics, leadership styles, motivation, communication patterns, and even resistance to change—especially in adults whose behaviors and personalities are more stable after early adulthood. +++ In Conclusion: - **Green** is a beneficial color in Feng Shui for supporting growth and vitality in your space. - **Feng Shui** enhances environmental Qi but cannot directly address complex human interactions or behavior. - For understanding and managing people within large groups, **Organizational Behavior** and related fields provide practical and scalable strategies, especially as individuals become more set in their ways over time. By integrating a harmonious environment through Feng Shui and applying organizational behavior principles, you can create both a supportive space and foster better interpersonal relationships.

  8. Let’s clarify the concepts around **frontage**, **Conservatives**, and **Modernists** in the context of Feng Shui and home design, and examine why certain misunderstandings arose. 1. Who are the Conservatives and the Modernists? **Conservatives** and **Modernists** are terms used to describe two approaches to interpreting and applying traditional Feng Shui principles in home design: - Conservatives This group strictly adheres to commonly accepted or popularized methods in Feng Shui, often relying on simplified rules passed down through generations. They emphasize tradition and tend to see ancient teachings through a narrower lens, sometimes interpreting guidelines or rituals in a literal or surface way. - Modernists Modernists seek a deeper, contextual, or even scientific understanding of Feng Shui principles. They are open to reinterpretation, adaptation to current living conditions, and are willing to question or update traditional ideas based on new information, research, or architectural innovation. 2. Is the Frontage Always the Main Door? **Frontage** refers to the portion of the home that faces the most open, active, or “Yang” side—typically toward the street or main access. In Feng Shui, the **frontage** is crucial for determining aspects such as energy flow (“Qi”), orientation, and how the occupants interact with external environments. Main Door as Frontage? In *many* homes, especially traditional ones, the main door aligns with the frontage, serving as the primary point of entry for energy, people, and opportunity. **However, frontage is not always the main door.** - In some modern homes or complex dwellings, the main energy flow might enter from large windows, a balcony, or another architectural feature. For example, a house that faces a sweeping view but has its main door on the side may have its “frontage” defined by the windows facing the view, not necessarily the main door. - Frontage should be understood as the functional “face” of the home, which interacts most directly with outside activity, airflow, and light. 3. Why Did Conservatives Use Main Door as Frontage, and What Was Misunderstood? Ancient Knowledge: - Ancient Feng Shui texts emphasize the **interaction of the home with its environment**, including sunlight, landscape, airflow, and activity patterns. The “face” of the house should be determined by where life and energy gather or interact, not just by the position of the door. Modernist Approach: - Modernists revisit classical texts and environmental observation, understanding that frontage is situational and dynamic, not fixed. They analyze the actual sources of Qi based on design, surroundings, and even lifestyle changes. 4. In Conclusion: The frontage of a home is not always the main door—it is the primary interface with external energy and life, which can shift based on design and environment. **Conservatives** misunderstood the ancients’ teachings by equating the main door with the only possible frontage, missing the deeper, context-driven principles of true Feng Shui, whereas **Modernists** seek to restore those nuanced insights for contemporary living.

  10. Toilet in middle of unit? Feng Shui (FS) is not so fragile The ABC's of Feng Shui... 1. That one issue e.g. such as a toilet at the centrepoint is considered a death sentence or fatal error on it's own. 2. There are often more than one issue that can bring the Feng Shui of a house crashing down. And it is based on a holistic approach represented by this PIE Chart. IN SUMMARY The main takeaway is that a single issue, such as a poorly placed toilet, can significantly impact the overall Feng Shui of a house, but it is essential to recognize that multiple factors contribute to this holistic assessment. Therefore, addressing various issues collectively is crucial for maintaining a harmonious living environment. A. How Suitable is this House? Via Science of FS: Part 1 and 2 Via Art of FS: Part 3 External Part 1 = How suitable is the unit - Frontage, Kitchen & Main Bedroom? Frontage, Kitchen, Main Bedroom = 30 Marks (Part 1 accounts for why some homes are suitable to some but not to others.) Part 2 = How is the luck of the Interior Feng Shui of this unit? 35 Marks Part 3 = External Feng Shui luck? 35 Marks Total = 30% + 35%+ 35% = 100 Marks. Note: Thus the toilet at the centrepoint at most falls under Part 2 with just a few percentage points down only. B. Habit No. 3 = Concept of Maximizing Marks is another consideration:- C. Fix-the-leaks, First!

  14. Origins of the Japanese Maneki Neko or Lucky Cat In 17th-century Japan, a fortuitous moment unfolded when a cat raised its paw, beckoning a passing feudal lord. Intrigued by the feline's gesture, the lord changed his course—and narrowly avoided a deadly lightning strike. This remarkable event planted the seeds for the legend of the Maneki Neko, the beloved "Lucky Cat" we recognize today. With its signature raised paw, the Maneki Neko has become a cherished symbol of luck and prosperity, gracing businesses and homes around the world. +++ Many shops, and even some self-proclaimed Feng Shui masters, market a wide range of products as “Feng Shui items,” regardless of whether they have any authentic connection to traditional Feng Shui practices. For example, the Lucky Cat (Maneki Neko) actually comes from Japanese folklore, not Chinese Feng Shui. Its raised paw is a symbol of good fortune and prosperity in Japanese culture, but it is not an element of classical Feng Shui philosophy. Authentic Feng Shui is based on principles such as the flow of energy, proper orientation, and the use of natural elements like water, wood, earth, metal, and fire, along with careful arrangement of spaces. True Feng Shui remedies or enhancements are selected according to these principles, not simply because an item is considered lucky in another culture or looks appealing. Unfortunately, many decorative products—including the Lucky Cat—are marketed as Feng Shui simply because they are believed to bring luck. This can mislead consumers, who may place their trust in a master’s reputation or a shop’s status. A trustworthy Feng Shui practitioner will offer advice and recommendations rooted in real theory, tailored to the specific energy and needs of a space, rather than just selling items labeled as “lucky.” Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially operating Feng Shui shops under the guise of offering expert advice. Genuine Feng Shui does not require buying lots of commercial products. Always ask yourself, “Do I really need to purchase this from you?” In fact, some of the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with established lineages. They often seem more focused on selling “lifestyle” items than on providing real Feng Shui guidance. +++ What Chat GPT Says about Geomancy.net You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of practitioners acting more like salespeople than genuine consultants. Instead of focusing on the core principles—energy flow, spatial arrangement, harmony—many have shifted toward selling "Feng Shui" products, often with little real impact beyond their price tags. Your approach to **question everything**—especially with "Must I buy from YOU?"—is wise and empowering. It cuts through the sales pitch and gets to the heart of what’s authentic and necessary. The rise of so-called lineage masters intensifies this issue. Their supposed credibility is often used to market expensive lifestyle items, creating a business model where advice is intertwined (or even dependent on) product sales. Genuine Feng Shui, however, is about harnessing the natural flow of energy using knowledge and intent, not buying endless objects. **A few ways to keep things real:** - **Ask for advice first, products second.** A true practitioner can explain remedies or suggestions without immediately pushing sales. - **Know that authentic Feng Shui relies more on placement and timing than material goods.** Your home’s orientation, layout, and how you use space matter most—objects are secondary or sometimes unnecessary. - **Be skeptical if someone says you need to buy their exclusive items for results.** Often, similar solutions are available or even unnecessary. In short: Your instincts are right. Genuine Feng Shui should help people—not turn anyone into a captive customer. Hold onto that critical mindset, and you’ll always be able to separate authentic guidance from the noise of commercialization. From Day 1, we share your concern From the very first day, we acknowledge your concerns. We will never offer you any products for sale! Numerous Feng Shui Masters operate as a Feng Shui Store in disguise. Caution: Even individuals who assert they possess a Feng Shui Lineage are just as culpable of this. IN SUMMARY The main takeaway from the text is a cautionary message about the potential deceit within the Feng Shui community, highlighting that some practitioners may prioritize sales over genuine guidance, regardless of their claimed expertise or lineage. Ask: "Must I buy from you?" Find out more... While the Lucky Cat may bring positive attention and prosperity in its own tradition, it’s important to be cautious and question any “Feng Shui” claims, especially when choosing items to enhance your space’s energy. Real Feng Shui advice involves more than just placing objects—it’s about understanding how your environment affects you and using proven methods to create balance and harmony.
  15. Extracts from 100 Palm Residences Thread Q1. Question: Can I place an option to purchase a unit, not just in this development but also in other developments, during the Chinese 7th month? 1.1 The sale, or rather the balloting for this development, starts exactly one month before the Chinese Hungry Ghost Festival, also known as the 7th month. 1.2 Given that no major infrastructure is up yet, those who believe in or are concerned about the Chinese 7th month really have nothing to fear if they want to book a unit in an uncompleted development. 1.3 The reasoning is simple: Since there is no physical space for these hungry ghosts to seek shelter, there is no need to worry about it. Q2. Question: Can I start renovations during the Chinese 7th month for a home that has achieved T.O.P. or has been completed for some time? 2.1 Again, this is based on logical deduction. 2.2 One can start renovations before the 7th month and continue during the Chinese 7th month. The belief is that these hungry ghosts are like us. 2.3 The hungry ghosts have not “taken possession” of any home or apartment yet. 2.4 If a place is messy, dusty, and noisy, and not suitable for human habitation, it is also not suitable for ghostly habitation. 2.5 If the hungry ghosts happen to find a vacant home during the 7th month and renovations begin while they are there, many people prefer not to risk “angering” these ghosts for this reason.
