  1. In my opinion, logically, one cannot turn back the clock nor change the house / apartment number.

    For example, take Para 3. (see below). A common sense approach is "The Concept of Maximizing Marks"

    And another, is under Para 2. Fix-the-leak, First!

    TWELVE (12) Key Success Factors in D.I.Y. Feng Shui

    1. Feng Shui Triage Proper trouble-shooting is required. 2. Fix-the-Leak, First! Easily three or more major problems. 3. The Concept of Maximizing Marks Hopefully from a FAIL to a PASS or better! 4. The Customer Engineer Concept If you D.I.Y. make sure you read this! 5. Commonsense Approach Fact or Fiction? 6. Fast Food Feng Shui 7. Getting Three Quotes 8. Situational Approach 9. The Concept of Feng Shui by Exception10. The Three-Step-Approach11. Trial & Error Vs Flying Star12. You Stay There! We (Geomancers) Don't!13. Your Home: An unpolished gem or a rotten apple?

  2. Frankly, I rarely use the 9 grid method as I personally prefer the pie chart method.

    Since you are into this; and if you have the time you may consider reading some of the past messages.

    You can use the Search feature on the TOP left frame of the forum.

    Dear Master Cecil:I intend to
    plot in the House Gua and
    Flying Stars ( both natal and
    monthly charts ) for my
    apartment unit. So far, I have
    done the following:a) Extend
    the lines to form a square /
    boxb) Draw the 9 Palaces Grid
    over the floor planc) Cross
    the diagonal points to
    determine the center of the
    unit.But before I can plot in
    the numbers, I need to be able
    to determine which box belongs
    to which compass direction. So
    I stand in the center to take
    a compass direction. The
    attached plan has all the
    information. Now the problem
    is North ( as in 0 degrees
    North ) is so close to 2 of
    the palaces, thus making me
    confused ( By the way, the
    Facing is not North. I am just
    trying to confirm North
    belongs to which Palace so I
    can plot in the direction for
    the remaining boxes. ) Can you
    help me on the following:1)
    According to my attached plan,
    should North Palace be the Top
    Left Box or the Top Center
    Box?2) Should I encounter such
    cases again, how should I
    determine the North palace
    should be in which box. Any
    guidelines?3) Once I have plot
    in the N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE
    and SW into the boxes, this
    layout will be the same when I
    apply 8 Mansions House Gua or
    Flying Stars right?Thank

  3. 1. The field of Strategic Management is a good example.

    2. For example: in general you could be working in an industry related to? Earth.

    2.1 For example; some of the common Earth element industries are:

    Building Management,
    Customer relations,
    Civil engineering,
    Clothing,
    Construction,
    Customer Relations,
    Employee Relations,
    Estate Agency,
    Farming,
    Food industry,
    Games,
    Pottery,
    Real Estate, Recruitment, Sports

    2.2 Reference: http://talk.geomancy.net

    3. Thus, on a MACRO level, one could be an accountant e.g. Metal element but working in a Construction firm.

    3.1. Here, it is said that this person is in constant contact with Earth element: a construction firm.

    3.2. On a MICRO level, one may be associated with Earth if it is one of the person's best elements. But it does mean that you have to carry a full-pack full of bricks everywhere you go. If one is a recruit in the army on a force-march; then no choice; go ahead and carry that full-pack of bricks or sand or stone. Most likely, if so, in a few years time... better change name to "Hunchback of Notredame"

    (!-- cur_result1 -->

    Five Element Analysis (Mountain vs Water)

      Analysing: Weak Fire (9) vs Weak Metal (7)

      • Weak Fire (9) (Average Star) represents You Bi Xing, Coming Prosperity.
      • Weak Metal (7) (Inauspicious Star) represents Po Jun Xing, Burglary, Violence, Fading Prosperity.

      Proposed Solution
      Make use of Fire (red) to destroy and control Metal

    (!-- cur_result2 --> (!--

    Five Element Analysis (20-Year Star vs Year Star)

      Analysing: Strong Wood (3) vs Weak Metal (7)

      Proposed Solution

    --> (!-- cur_result4 -->

    Combination of 10 Water Star Formation

      Combination of 10 in this sector improves the luck in this sector

    Final Analysis

      This house's luck would be better from 2021... 2022... 2023 onwards.

  6. 1. In my opinion, unless there is a specific "ceremony" or religious ceremony; or performed by a priest or high priest;

    2. Otherwise, any ordinary folk painting a figurine or even "painting" the eyes does not constitute the above para 1.

    3. Thus, in essence, any "Tom, Dick or Harry" that paints an eye on an object is a non-issue and does not convey a "religious" purpose.

    In this instance, Twin Waterfalls EC began to inform their subsidiary proprietors just in time before the 7th of July, 2015, which marks the date of legal completion. It is of no consequence if the physical keys have not been distributed to everyone.

    As long as you have been informed of the completion, please contact me to arrange for the collection of your keys. However, hold on... are you planning to collect the keys tomorrow? I apologize, but your turn is scheduled for next week!

    In

    ;
    opinion Option 1 is
    the

    bet.2.
    Option 3
    depends
    very much on
    the
    width
    of
    the
    "clearance". As it is
    only
    a

    what
    is
    the
    clearance
    between the
    main door
    and
    the
    unoccupied
    area.
    Usually, since
    this
    is
    the
    main entrance
    door; the
    minimium
    preferred
    clearance
    is 900 cm
    or
    ideally
    if it
    is 1,000cm or
    1 metre
    clearance
    is
    best. If
    so, this option
    may
    be
    considered. With
    the
    consideration
    that
    the
    doors
    for the cabinet should
    not
    have
    highly
    reflective
    material

    the doors

    the
    main
    door.3.
    Option 2
    is
    hmmmm....
    .....
    4.
    Anyway, for
    commonsense
    Feng
    Shui;
    best
    not to use
    doors with
    louvers
    as
    shown
    in the
    attachment.
    This
    is
    plain
    common or
    cowsense.
    Take alook.
    If
    one
    is standing
    close to
    the
    louvered
    doors
    and if
    the
    louvers is
    above
    eye
    level;
    one can
    literally
    see into
    the
    cabinet..
    such
    things
    are red
    ,pink,
    purple
    shoes,
    slippe
    rs and
    yes...
    the
    smell...
    coming
    from
    the
    cabinet.4.1. Thus, if

    really
    needs to install
    louvers
    or
    (small vents
    drilled
    into
    cabinet
    doors)
    such
    louvered
    doors should only
    be
    allowed not
    higher than
    an
    adult's
    waist
    height and
    the
    rest of the
    upper
    doors;

  19. Recently, another client showed me another design to allow ventilation of her shoes (shoe cabinet).

    This is still functional and "neat" design

    In
    my
    opinion Option 1 is the
    safest
    bet.2.
    Option 3 depends
    very much on the
    width
    of the
    "clearance". As it is only
    a
    sketch; hard to determine what
    is
    the
    clearance between the
    main door and
    the
    unoccupied
    area. Usually, since
    this
    is
    the main entrance
    door; the minimium
    preferred
    clearance is 900 cm
    or
    ideally
    if it is 1,000cm or
    1 metre
    clearance is
    best. If
    so, this option may
    be
    considered. With the
    consideration
    that
    the doors
    for the cabinet should not
    have
    highly reflective
    material
    especially the doors
    directly facing
    the
    main
    door.3. Option 2 is
    hmmmm....
    .....
    4. Anyway, for
    commonsense Feng
    Shui;
    best
    not to use doors with
    louvers
    as
    shown in the
    attachment. This
    is
    plain
    common or cowsense.
    Take alook. If
    one
    is standing
    close to the
    louvered
    doors
    and if the
    louvers is above
    eye
    level;
    one can literally
    see into the
    cabinet..
    such
    things are red ,pink,
    purple
    shoes,
    slippers and
    yes... the
    smell...
    coming
    from the
    cabinet.4.1. Thus, if one
    really
    needs to install louvers
    or
    (small vents drilled into
    cabinet
    doors)
    such louvered
    doors should only be
    allowed not
    higher than an
    adult's
    waist
    height and the
    rest of the upper
    doors;
    those
    flat surface type of doors.

    Do you agree?
