Placement of coins... "5 treasures"

Remember, even a hairline crack can get worse!

As mentioned previously, nowadays a TV set is quite huge. Thus, if the idea is to place a mirror on the same wall as the TV set? Then really no point, because the TV set is now at least 40 inches or more and it will cover most of the mirror. In addition, one has to take into consideration the compass directions in a home. If sun rays do come in from the "East" or in the attached example, comes in directly from the "West"; then there could be a possibility that the rays may reflect onto the glass and follow the "red lines" in the attachment. Odd is'nt it if one has to wear sun-glass when walking around one's own dining room area! Truly indeed... What a joke-

Of course it is nice-to have everything done prior to the 7th month. But as you had mentioned; fortunately, only the odds and ends are left. Critically, the stove has to be in and often the bed should be ready. Other things you mentioned; ain't that serious at all- Good enough-

These are some considerations: 1. From a "belief" or nice-to (area); Especially the Cantonese belief that it is nice-to have a mirror facing the dining table. As it is their perception that food would be bountiful. For example, an apple on the dining table will be reflected as twice or double it. 2. Interior designers hope to use mirror(s) to make the home seem larger. 3. Other considerations: 3.1. Often, there is not much work especially if a person has purchased a new condo unit. As the flooring and even wardropes etc are already built in. Thus an ID or contractor MAY be hard-pressed to "strongly" recommend the owner install things like false ceilings; mirror(s) and partition. If not how to make money. 3.2. Some I.Ds even confessed to me that they or their contractors often charge double the price of a mirror. As often, the mirror may get chipped or damaged; and if so, they could recoup their money and not beg the owner to come out with more money. Thus, if a mirror is suppose to cost $400/- they may add an extra $400 to the price - excluding labour etc... 4. Usually, if one really wants to install a mirror; best to install it on the furthest side of the wall. For example, when we open the main door, we would already know that the wall where often the door opens towards is a solid wall; and placing a mirror, here is not ideal. As we already know that this is a wall area. Furthermore, some may get scared looking at one's image or shadow in close proximity. And often, this mirror should not face the corridor leading into the bedroom(s). 5. Common sense says that it is not ideal to place a mirror at the back of a sofa. As often we may lean onto the wall and oily hair oil is hard to clean. And it does not give us the illusion that the back of the sofa is "larger". Placing a mirror on the same wall as the TV is not ideal. As nowadays a TV set is quite large and will hide the mirror. 6. What you mentioned, I strongly believe is or has more monetary gain for the contractor than for the home owner. 7. Futhermore, nowadays, may of the living room walls are dry walls and added costs to mount a piece of wood to support the mirror... is again what the contractor likes ... = more $$$...

There is always nearly a "sweet spot" in an office, where the person who inadvertently sits on a spot would most likely would eventually resign....

These are some considerations: 1. The house with the X does not seem to be threatened by the road. 2. Furthermore, the house is pretty "deep" in and the land size is so generous - with a long drive-way in to the home.

The Boss vs the worker....

Hmm... one of those kindergarten type of Feng Shui... at work...

Adding or growing knowledge is closely associated with the wood element. Reference;http://www.geomancy.net/talknotes/talknotes.htm

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 regarded as analogous to undergoing an X-ray. While Ba Zi dates can be likened to an MRI scan. Another perspective is that Tung Shu is comparable to a Bachelor's degree, whereas Ba Zi corresponds to a Master's degree. Both are viewed as degrees; however, a Master's degree is considered superior to a Bachelor's degree. These interpretations may shift if one assumes the role of a matriarch in a family, with a preference for the Tung Shu. If an individual is more inclined towards the Tung Shu, it is advisable to favor this approach and abandon the Ba Zi method if reconciliation is not possible or if one prefers the familiarity of the Tung Shu as their guiding principle. Ultimately, it is about achieving a sense of comfort and not dwelling on the past. Another analogy is if you choose to drive a 1970s Mercedes 200, a vehicle devoid of modern electronics. In that case, you may proceed with the Tung Shu method. Conversely, if one is enthusiastic about the numerous electronics and features found in contemporary vehicles—such as ABS, DCS, auto-start-stop brakes, hill-assist, and 8-speed automatic transmission—then this aligns with 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.
