In my opinion, no one has ever done so. Do take extra care when using an ordinary compass. As often, there are lots of "hidden" re-bar that can cause the compass readings on such a compass to deviate by alot. Often, try to stand on a grass area (but then again) and take several readings (if possible). Sometimes even grass patches have metal embedded below it thus again may cause the readings to deviate.

Frankly, if one has close relationship with one's brother and sister; then; in my opinion there is no "ill" attached to such gifts even it is during the CNY period. In fact, it is also good for the enviroment; ie. active recycling. Often, many parents would be very glad especially to get hand-me downs especially for their growing children from relatives, cousins and even friends. Under this category; some parents appreciate this very much as often their growing child grows fast and cannot wear them anymore. Furthermore, many feel that such clothings are even more comfortable to wear etc... Thus rather than be concerned; some of us wish we have such a brother and sister.. and may consider you fortunate...

Please see attachment: 1. Often, if the wall at marking "A" is extended e.g. as highlighted in yellow; and if there is no stove behind this; then "A" is often the preferred location over "B". 2. There is really limited space in such a layout plan. 2.1 Thus, often as you have highlighted marking "B" is the next better choice or last resort. 2.2 The reason why marking A is preferred is because:- 2.2.1 The altar is further away from the two bedrooms. Thus if one lights up joss sticks for many hours and if someone is in either of the bedrooms; there is a higher chance of getting lung cancer. 2.2.2 Although at marking "A"; still possible, thou. But at least it is further way from the bedrooms. If one is in the living room; then frankly it does not matter where the altar is: if it is lighted up most of the time. 2.2.3 Although it is common to walk in to see an altar; especially in a temple; some could consider that by doing so; the altar e.g. Guan Yin now becomes like a "condo" guard... seeing who's coming into the home. This is still not a major issue. Given that many homes does this sort of thing. 3. Thus, in general, marking "A" is a first choice if there is a solid wall behind the altar. From your diagram; looks like the wall is too short unless one uses only a 2 ft by 2ft altar and not one that is 35" or greater in width.

Eight Riversuites @ Whampoa East has just TOP. The blocks/stacks either face Flying Stars NE2 or SW2..

Reference: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=43&mid=34639&new=%20?iframe=true So sorry, the above review did not include block 150. As I was concerned more with the majority of the blocks / stacks and that under Flying Star Feng Shui; these blocks / stacks are "borderline" cases. And frankly, need to be on-site (at the appropriate time) to confirm their Flying Star facing directions. In general, for blk 150; stacks facing the swimming pool or facing either blocks 154 and 156 should be more suitable to an East group person.

Frankly, there is no hard-coded rule for this. In my opinion, there were many or lots of instances where the day is not auspicious for that partner e.g. hubby. The hubby could come in an hour later on the same day. Alternatively, there were instances where this same hubby comes in only after the full procedure has been carried out by his wife.

Using an ordinary compass:- 1. Make sure that when taking a reading; often the best is to go to an empty plot of land or grass area or outside of the home to take a reading. 1.1. This is because there are reinforced bars embedded within the concrete structures of the home both in the walls and on the floors that may cause fluctuations in compass readings. 1.2. Even on an empty plot of land such as grass area, do be careful of embedded metal pieces such as sewerage pipes that may cause the compass needle to sway. 2. The easiest is to buy a protractor and use any street directory maps to find the directions. One good source is onemap.sg which uses govt. data survey maps. 3. See sample illustrations.

So sorry, this is beyond this forum. As lots of time and effort needs to determine, plot, review If Feng Shui is to be applied correctly, one has to plot the Flying Stars and try to either disarm the bad stars or enhance the sectors. For lawsuits: if one can determine correctly the bad flying star number(s) especially: #3, one can use or place a 24 hours light at that specific sector to disarm it. Thus if there are any imbalances in your home; the Flying stars are often used. Your personal kua number: has more to do with how suitable the home; namely your best directions.

In my opinion, repairing the toilet, entrance of garage may not or rather so easily change to Period 8. If your home is a landed property and not a condominium; often it may require major renovations. And one of most common methods of changing to a new period is the removal of the roofing for major A & A works Such works may include replacing the windows/doors etc... On the ultra conservative side; some geomancers may even say that so long as if the foundations are not demolished; the home may not change period. But this is an extreme view. In Singapore, there are many homes that try to avoid having the requirement of building an expensive bomb or household shelter. Thus, their Additions & Alterations (A & A) skipped touching the foundations; but the whole house has been gutted, including the roofing. In such cases, it is in my opinion, one sure way to change to a new Period.

Thanks for your photos. This aspect of Feng Shui has more to do with common sense and privacy then Feng Shui. One way mirror can be highly reflective. And depends on various considerations:- 1.It is acceptable to placesuch a mirror for privacy. 2.But if the mirror is highly reflective especially at the outside; and if your home is a SW; thus there is bound to be some afternoon sun;do consider the afternoon sun rays andthe reflective properties of glass. 2.1. Common sense: It might not get approval from your Managing Agent. 2.2. At night, when one turns on light in say the kitchen; this one-way mirror may not"work" anymore... 3. Under Feng Shui, geomancers will have to determine if the sector the mirror is in has auspicious or inauspicious star numbers. Ifit is auspicious; it is said to bounce twice the good luck if not, it is a double edge sword.

Feng Shui like many other disciplines; have a macro and micro view. The macro scope can be:- 1. The Landscape 2. The site 3. The building or the home. Thus more often, the above three are equally important as the interior of a home. Therefore, Feng Shui cannot live in isolation without the surroundings. 4. The home interior:- 4.1. When planning a home, Feng Shui is looked at in it's entirety. 4.2. What you are looking at or consider looking at is MICRO-Feng Shui of say one or two rooms. Feng Shui can do so.

If you have the time, you can consider going to this thread to have a better understanding of the "facing direction/main door" of a stack/unit in ahigh-rise building:- An appreciation of the term "Facing direction/main door":- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=33246&new=

These are some considerations: 1. For developments that had TOP many years ago; one way to determine the facing direction of various stacks/units in the development is through the use of sites like: http://one.map.sg 2. For sites that are under construction one can still go to urls like http://streetdirectory.com 3. For example: if you look at any map at http://one.map.sg one will realise that on the bottom left of each screen there is a North marking on the map. 4. And do take note that all streetdirectory maps be it on the website or paper version will always have the "North" at the top. 5. Next, invest in a 360 degrees protractor. Reasonably good ones can often be purchased at Popular book stores. 6. Enclosed are various examples of how one can plot and determine the Flying Star facing direction of any stack/unit. 7. An appreciation of the term "Facing direction/main door":- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=33246&new=

You can read more, here:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=2&mid=23906&new= For example, this is an extract from the above resource link:- APPLYING LOCATION FACTOR INTO BA ZI 1. Frankly, all the various practitioners/master who use TIME ZONE or LOCATION factors, are modern changes avocated by modern practitioners. There is no such calculation when Ba Zi was invented in China. 2. The only method that is technically correct is to apply the LOCATION factor to the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Even this has two issues:- a) Even 0.01 degree off either the latitude and/or longtitude, will make a major change to your ba zi chart. This 0.01 degree of error can make your chart even less accurate if it is incorrect. Which can be even less accurate than a chart that you leave the hour pillar as unknown. b) Most people don't even have the time of birth, let a lone the exact place of birth. So why complicate the issue. 3. Using GMT time zone is a bad way to apply the location factor, because GMT timezone only affects the longtitude changes. Furthermore, GMT has been simplified so much so it is no longer as accurate as in the past. 4. Our stand on this issue is NOT to add these level of complication to the analysis. Meaning that you should just use your local time (regardless of what country), to analyse the ba zi. This is because if you truly understand how the ba zi works, the HOUR pillar will not make a major impact in terms of the 10-yearly, 5-yearly, yearly and monthly luck pillars. The hour pillar gives additional pillars available for combinations and clashes, so this can affect the final outcome of a person to be either weak or strong. A day without the hour will give the rough element strength of the day. Only a few hours may result in weak/strong element. Otherwise, not much change will occur. Your luck pillars will not be too badly influenced by the hour impact. Except for minor yearly and chart clash or harms that may occur. But these are minor as your general luck will not alter too much. 5. This is why we can still analyse a person luck fairly well even if you do not provide the hour pillar. Just check out some of the masters who had done case study of famous people, you will noticed that they do it just with the date of birth. They don't even apply any location factor. Ba zi has designed to compensate from the lact of the hour pillar. So with or without the hour of birth, a person's chart can still be charted out. Just that with the hour pillar, your forecast will be more accurate. 6. This is why we find no need to apply location into the bazi. Just use your local time and it should be ok. 7. You must always remember that a ba zi is supposed to be a heavenly GIVEN chart of what kind of luck you are supposed to have assuming your environment remains constant. This means it does not consider education, your house (earth luck), people around you, your career etc. However, in real life, how can you expect your environment to be the same all the time. Your luck is always being altered by your house luck, people around you, and your career. Let me give you some example:- a. Given a pair of twins with the exact date and time of birth. One has primary education and one has PHD. Which you think will have better life. Most likely the one with PHD. b. Given a same pair of twins. One stays in US and one stays in IRAQ. Which will you think will have a better life. Again most likely US as it is more stable and peaceful, as compared to a war torn country such as IRAQ. c. Given a two persons:- ?Person A has the 10-year luck favourable to him, but he stays in a house with entrapped feng shui and death suitability to the home. ?Person B has the 10-year luck unfavourable to him, but he says in a house with excellent feng shui and prosperity suitability to the home. The Person B will have actually a much better luck then person A. Cos, a person's earth luck has been ADVERSED impacted which superceeds his ba zi luck. 8. So ba zi is NOT a tool which can forecast all past events with 100% accuracy. What it can do is give you a forecast of potential pitfalls allowing you to maximise your luck by avoiding the bad period. Many modern practitioners/masters, try to make you think that ba zi can give you an accurate assesment of your past and future events. How is this possible, if the concept is only supposed to provide you with a heavenly given luck? 9. So our advice to you is just to leave the hour unknown or unaltered as it is NOT necessary.

Further to what I had mentioned, in modern times ba zi is used to determine compatibility instead of the simplistic Chinese Astrology of "I am a rat. And I am suppose to be compatible to a monkey or a dragon. My worse pairing is with a horse". In this illustration. This person born on 7 February 2014 and born between 5pm to 6.59pm is considered as a weak earth person. And based on the Five elements concept; this person's best pairing is with a person of the "strong fire" element.

This is under the category of "symbolism" in Feng Shui. And nice-not to have the WC sharing the same wall as the stove. In many of the write-ups of uncompleted condo units: I have also noticed and highlighted that it is "nice-not-to" have the wc sharing the same wall as the stove especially if they are directly next-wall to each other.

In the past before the pre-computer age and internet age; what one finds in book stores are generic Chinese Horoscope and /or Chinese Zodiac signs books. Thus, in the 19670s to even 1980s especially, such books were common as they are easy to write as the subject matter needs only one's Year of birth. Thus, sites like: http://lovesigns.net cater to this general area. Thus you are known as a rat person. While your friend's brother is a Monkey. And of course even a dragon person is said to be very suitable to a rat person. Ba Zi Unlike the common generic Chinese Horoscope/Animal Signs/Zodiac signs: Ba Zi takes into account one's Year / Month / Day & even Hour of birth to determine one's element and strength. While the Chinese Zodiac only considers your Year of birth. Ba Zi analysis is considered the better choice as it is highly personalised. Under Ba Zi for example: even if you are a Rat: there can be so many variations e.g. a weak wood / strong wood ; a weak fire / strong fire; weak earth / strong earth / weak metal / strong metal / weak water / strong water. Thus you can be any of the above. For example: you could say be a weak fire person. And your friend's brother a strong water person. Here, just imagine: if you are that weak fire person: the other person's strong water could easily have extinguished your weak fire person. If say you are a weak water person; then a partner of say a strong metal would instead benefit you. Therefore, being a rat vs a monkey is too simplistic a model.It is just like someone going for an x-ray vs someone going under the MRI scanning. Like an x-ray; it is in black and white. While after the MRI scan; one can even see in detail / colour / slice of a person's individual body section.

Apex @ Henderson - Office complex has just TOP. Kudos for having a disabled friendly lift lobby...

These are some considerations: 1. There is a general consensus amongst geomancers that there should not be a difference in the practice of Feng Shui for both North and South hemisphere. 2. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui: the question asked is how "vulnerable" your frontage or home is to sha qi or poison arrows. 3. Simply from a top-down view: does the cul-de-sac cause a "slice-into" the home i.e. a sha qi (poison arrow) or 3.1. In the even if there is a run-away vehicle, can this vehicle run-amok and plough into e.g. the main entrance or windows or other "vulnerable" parts of the home. IF the answer is no to para 3 or 3.1 then one is said to be reasonable ok from the cul-de-sac One can also do a search in this forum for past mgs on cul-de-sac
