Recipes is a wide term. But for example, if one comes up with new recipes or modifies recipes then most likely it has more to do with the "wood" element.

This link shows several examples of a straight road with a "sudden" curve. One famous spot is Mountbatten Road. And another... a vehicle on a straight path... then did not curve in time and it landed into the canal. Reference resource:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=26501&new Frankly there is nothing mysterious about these situations. And does not necessary mean or apply only to houses at a T-junction only.

These are some considerations:- 1. the house number: when I run the report from your website it is very hard to get the auspicious one with the available house for rent. Sometimes it come out and say "depend on star 5 and base star" which I don't understand what it means and is there a way to fix it? I'm so confuse about how to calculate the house number. Is it add them all up to single digit or just read as it is? (for example 1281 = 3 or 160 = 7) Response: the house-number report is only specific to high-rise apartments. This report is based on Vertical Flying Stars. The assumption that even at a location or stack, each floor (or storey) is affected by different qi. The good news is that you have one less information to consider. 2. one of the house I found has the road run in to the left side of the house as a T-section. is that a bad thing? I read that the T-section is not good for the front door. Please help explain. Response: This has its roots in Common sense. Or to sound high and mighty call this "Common sense Feng Shui." A few factors are taken into consideration. In Singapore, the roads are "right-hand" drive. And the way a vehicle or car enters a T junction differs from that of a "left-hand" drive road. Why say that it is common sense? Pure common sense says that in a million to one chance; a run-away vehicle somehow lost control be it that the driver is drunk or like sometime back a Toyota model was highlighted as unable to brake or stop. Thus, go thru the motion and see if there is any remote chance that such a run-away vehicle can smash into the house or not? Fortunately in Singapore, most house have walled up compound or gate to breech. You won't want to say have children playing in the front yard and greeted by a run-amok vehicle smashing through the home. If the home has additional barriers such as a small canal or drainage and railings etc... harder to do so. Therefore this is pure common sense. If you have viewed the home and there are additional plus(es) like a speed bump and if the road leading to the T is not one straight long path where some drivers just bull-doze their way. Or nowadays the trend is to check their HP for sms etc.. and that vehicle plough thru the home. If makes a lot of difference with this and a few more factors. In the attached illustration... most likely the home does not have any walled fence thus that "Toyota" could easily penetrate and plough into the home. In SGP, there is again a 1 in 10 million chance that an ordinary car could penetrate into the inner sanctum of a home. At best... or at worst... some one could be at the garden... and could most likely or may be hit by a flying brick..... This illustration shows the path of a "right-hand" drive country. The path of "destruction" would be different if it is a "left-hand" drive country like USA, most of Europe or China.

2014's Chinese 7th month starts on: 27 Jul 2014 (Sun) 2014, 7th month, 1 day And the last day is on: 24 Aug 2014 (Sun) 2014, 7th month, 29 day

The "safer" designs are of the "Point-block". Reference: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=43&mid=13878&new=

One of the ugliest and Feng Shui UN-friendly development: Waterway Terraces I and II - under construction. Qi don't get to flow around each block. And some may even mistaken each block for a JTC type of industrial complex. Overall, it sucks!

The owner had placed a mirror above their main door... The main door is facing a staircase that slopes down to a lower level

From a Feng Shui perspective; there are quite alot of considerations. But, some means that you must have knowledge of things like: the breadwinner: East or West group? etc... Most of the time, in general; the first consideration is how one feels when first entering the home and/or if one really likes the home; try to bring along the whole family and see how they feel about the home. You wrote: Must the main door be facing North, entrance to the unit must be bright, the distance of opposite block cannot be too near, etc? As I mentioned, above, you may have to do some homework to find out whether you are an East group person : favourable North, South, East or SE. While a West group person suits : West, NW, NE and SW Alot of other factors are common sense: good to have unblocked view; distance of block, any other blocks/stacks have sharp angle aimed towards the potential home. Common sense also says that if the frontage or a master bedroom wall is bathed by afternoon sun, this unit may be "uncomfortable" to stay in as often, heat will ooze out of the walls even around 7 or 8pm. etc... Good Luck in your purchase.

Please see attachment: 1. Location A is not ideal. As an altar is not suppose to "look" into the home e.g. into most of the bedrooms / toilets if any. 2. Location B is not as bad as it is placed next to an opening and the gods could "look out" of the home instead of no choice but to look into all "sleeping quarters". 2.1. Location B may not be suitable IF, it is directly or indirectly facing the afternoon sun. You won't want the god(s) to have to "wear" sun-glasses. 3. An altar can be placed along the same wall as marking "C". Or at position C. Provided the TV set if placed on this same wall is at least 1 metre away or any speakers that close to it. 4. An altar cannot be placed in the area X as it cannot share the same wall as a toilet. 5. A last resort could be location "D". Again it shares the same if there is indirect or direct afternoon sun. 6. Can understand that there is not much walls to place an altar in such a home. As a last resort again, if location marked E is not affected by rain water or afternoon sun, this is another "last resort" position. So far no MCST has "chased" away an owner placing their religious altar even if it is at the balcony - especially of a condo unit - other than hanging clothes there.

Tong Shu can be considered as the equivalent of taking an X-ray. While Ba Zi dates is equivalent of an MRI scan. Another way of looking at it is : Tung Shu is equivalent standard to a Bachelor's degree. While Ba Zi is equivalent to a Master's degree. Both are considered as a degree. But Master's degree is higher than a bachelor's degree. All these could change if one is like a matriarch of a family and her first choice is that of the Tung Shu. If a person is more inclined towards the Tung Shu; then best to have a bias for this. And forgo the ba zi method if one cannot reconcile or prefer the comfort zone of the Tung Shu as one's bible. In the end of the day, it is all about feeling good or comfortable and don't look back. Another way of looking at it is that if you prefer to drive a 1970's mercedes 200. Such a car does not have all the electronics. Then go ahead with just this Tung Shu method. However, if one is into lots of electronics and gadgets of modern cars: ABS, DCS, auto-start-stop brake, hill-assist, 8 auto-gears etc.. then this is equivalent of the ba zi method.

Which method suits me? A. Tung Shu Usually if a home still has a dominantmatriarch. Who has a say or expectations and has always relied only on the Tung Shu method; then best to please this matriarch. As often, this matriarch would have the means to look at / refer to or get someone familar with the Tung Shu to select the dates. B. Ba Zi If you are a couple who does not have a "matriarch" breathing down your neck. Often, this group of persons or couples would approach a professional geomancer. And often most geomancers would require YYYY/MM/DD/HHHH. If so, they would often apply Ba Zi to select dates. Of course, there are still some geomancers or road-side fortune tellers who use the simplistic Tung Shu (book). Again, there is no right or wrong answers, here. It is similar to Numerology. Some use one method, another use another method. But do note that often, as mentioned, personalised dates may "clash" with those obtained from the Tung Shui.

This link shows a simple illustration chart between how Tung Shu vs Ba Zi select auspicious dates For some persons, selected ba zi dates coincide with the Tung Shu dates. For many others, since the dates are personalised to them and their partner; what is good in the Tung Shu may not necessary be good, here. Thus ideally, my advice is; if one were to use one method; one may be surprised to learn that it may not be good in the Tung Shu. Best to either say: I will pick dates based on e.g. Tung Shu (full stop.) Or if one chooses dates based on ba zi; then stop looking at the Tung Shu! This is simplistic chart showing the key differences between Tung Shu vs Ba Zi methods http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=33567

With reference to this thread:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=33565&new= This simple chart shows the key differences between dates obtained from the Tung Shu vs Ba Zi. Note "Shu" refers simply to a book. Thus Tung Shu is simple a reference book that is produced annually. And published sometime around the 7th Chinese month for the next year.

Please refer to your previous posting. And my reply, here:http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=33565&new= What you mentioned in this message is beyond this free General advice forum. As someone has to work out and confirm.....

These are some considerations: 1. Avoid marriage and even move house during Chinese Lunar 6th month? 1.1. There is some "truth" in this. As in the past and even today; some old folks or elders say that 6th lunar month is "half-half". As this is the mid-point of the lunar year. 1.2. And doing thing or getting married on a half-half 50-50 month is as inauspicious as e.g. 7th lunar month or Qin Ming month. 2. Lowest common denominator: 2.1. Traditionally, there are two methods in selecting dates:- 2.1.1. Tung Shu This book comes out a few months before the next year. It is not tagged to anyone's birth-date(s). And often, very popular with road-side fortune-tellers. Thus if one were to approach quite a few fortune-tellers, they will use this book to tell whether a date is good or not. By flipping to the correct date. Therefore, no need to do any personal calculations etc... In general, this is the easiest method to "earn money". 2.1.2 Ba Zi to derive auspicious dates. For example: http://dates.geomancy.net The lowest common denominator are several fields that are required: YYYY (Year of birth) MM (Month) DD (Day) and if one has Time of birth should "input" this. As you can notice, Tung Shu does not rely on anyone's YYYY MM DD or even HHHH. But, Ba Zi needs at least Year/Month/Day of birth to "calculate" auspicious dates. 3. Are the two methods complimentary? As mentioned above: Tung Shu method does not take into consideration a person or even combined person's specific birth-dates. For some people, what is considered "bad" in the Tung Shu may be the contrary. 4. Which method do I use? 4.1. If you consult professional geomancers, they will often based auspicious dates on one's Ba Zi details or a combination of both partner's ba zi details (YY/MM/DD/HHHH). 4.2. Most likely if one were to approach a road-side fortune teller; they will have a Tung Shu in hand. Or if you can get hold of it etc... then use this "method". 5. As mentioned, earlier: one is personalised and needs birth-date details; the other depends on a published annual book. 6. This is why often, some who in the past, who had to rely on the Tung Shu had to wait for that book to be available before selection of dates. 7. A parallel to this is akin to two websites:- http://lovesigns.net vs http://geomancy.net 8. Lovesigns.net is all about the Chinese 12 Zodiac signs. And the only field required is one's Year of birth: Dragon boy or Tiger girl or born in the Year of the Rat etc... 9. While Geomancy.net for example, applies Ba Zi which requires at least three fields: YYYY/MM/DD (and if possible but not compulsory time of birth). 9.1. Here, there can be 1 billion people born in the Year of say the Dragon. But if we consider their YYYY/MM/DD input, this field can even be further reduced to e.g. 1.6 million out of say 1 billion who were born in the year of the Dragon. 10. From a common sense point of view: which is suppose to be more accurate? 11. In my opinion: and in theory: Ba Zi is similar to today's MRI scanning. While the Tung Shu is equivalent of taking an X'ray. 11.1. An MRI scan nowadays is so colourful and able to provide slice by slice insights into any organ of a person. And able to build a 3D map. 11.2. While an X-ray even by today's standards cannot even see into real flesh. Unless e.g. a lung has foreign matter or a screw or too imbedded into the body. It is useful for rudimentary parts like detecting broken bones etc... 11.3. There is no right or wrong method. The reason why Tung Shu is so popular today is that it is as easy as opening a book and flipping to the relevant page and digesting the information. While some have even got a person's Ba Zi calculated wrongly. If so, this lies the risks, here.

In my opinion, it depends! For example:- A. Cartoons, Mr Bean type of movies (comical etc..) then the movie producer might even be broadly considered as skewed towards the "water" element. As laughter etc... is more akin to fluid or water... B. Documentary or Knowlege based movies that broaden our understanding of nature etc... - For example; a movie director is suppose to produce or "grow" a film. Or "grow" creativity in a film. IF so, it may be considered as Wood element. C. Propaganda films etc... - For example, if a director produces propaganda films, then people likeDr. Joseph Goebbels a nazi; he and his movie producers then his movie directors may be considered as in the "fire" element. As their aim is to "market" the ideals of Nazi German or their superior race.
