In another example:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=32047&new= For this person: SW is not auspicious. While North and East are auspicious sectors for him/her.

Take for example a man born in a specific DD/MM/YYYY; He is called Mr ABC. The two attachments are a guideline for him to select a "suitable" house. Another chart shows which areas of the house is auspicious or inauspicious to him. For this person Mr ABC, SW coincidentally seems to be very auspicious sector for him. However, for another person, it may not necessary be so.

To have a better understanding of the facing direction:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=33246&new= Under the above url; you can check out a snapshot of this page which shows what is the idea of facing direction. See attachment.

Frankly, it could be an uphill task to DIY. As even a normal chart takes us around 5 hours to work out. You could just apply some of the easier charts:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports.htm Especially, which bedroom is in which sector and best for whom (if possible). And see if you can understand the "sleeping direction" / study directions etc.. with some of the above free reports. The above are Nice-to and not a must have. On your question on "if we could start moving in our " Yes, it is possible. The clue can be found in the attachment Q1 and A1. See the attachment.

Thanks for the layout plans. These are some considerations: 1. Common sense : Ideally, the sewerage pipe(s) does not run directly above a stove. As there is a 1 in a million chance that the sewerage pipe may leak or burst sending "chocolate stuff" downwards. That's all. 2. Under symbolism in Feng Shui, best not to have the WC throne directly above the stove. If this is not the case, then phew! 3. For a bedroom above the kitchen; so long as the bed/bed-head is not directly above a stove; this is a plus point. Otherwise, what you have is acceptable. As frankly, there is often no such thing as a perfect home even if one builds it from scratch.

If you have done all the work, it would be similar to the attachment(s).

Paid a visit on 30.3.2015 The Rainforest also had just recently TOP. (April 2015). Overall a good feel of this place.

I have personally visited the showroom. Indeed, I have witnessed firsthand how the showroom, particularly the bedrooms, appears significantly larger than in reality. For instance, the master bedroom can only accommodate a queen-sized bed and would struggle to fit a king-sized bed along with many stacks or units. Moreover, the raised floor tiles at the main entrance match the color of the main floor tiles, and if nothing is placed at the edge of the entrance, one can easily imagine a child or an elderly person tripping over the raised flooring. (Refer to the illustration) The only advantage is that this is currently one of the few executive condominiums and condos that feature solid walls throughout the interior of the home.

These are some considerations: 1. Under the Chinese system; some consider one's Gua/kua no. as the lucky no. Find out your Gua (Kua) Number? 2. And under ba zi; there is also one's favourable(plus wealth colours)and unfavourable colours.Find out you Personal Element? On the other hand; if one dwells into numerology; there are at least a few hundred formulas and methods as well as some astrologers use cards; some use birds or other animals to pick numbers for you. Thus, since there are so many numerology formulas and methods; the saying goes: "One man's meat is another man's poison". The outcome couldin a law of averages come up to 50-50 percent ...or none at all.

In my opinion, once a person is cremated e.g. and placed into an urn; this is "pretty" safe i.e. "ashes to ashes". Usually, slight caution is especially when a grave was exhumed and best not to touch or be given any items from such a site e.g. a button or someitems that was left in that coffin. How about, someone has just died recently; a wake and sent to be cremated. This is generally pretty safe especially after the body has been cremated. Frankly, in any line of "business", there are sometimes hazards that one may face. For example, even usfor geomancers; once a while; during our course of work; we do encounter homes and premises that are not "clean". If one goes about your normal admin work; in my opinion; there should not be any concern whatsoever.

In my view, the following are some important considerations: 1. The concept is that one is not wedded to the waterfall itself, but rather situated close to it. 1.1. One might be apprehensive about being married to a waterfall. However, since this is not a lasting arrangement, and provided that the waterfall does not disrupt the ceremony—such as water splashing onto guests or food—it is generally acceptable. 1.2. Alternatively, if the sound of the waterfall significantly overwhelms the atmosphere and disrupts the announcements and activities of the wedding. 2. Most of the aforementioned points relate to common sense. 3. Auto-suggestion and self-fulfilling prophecy: it is advisable to consult one's elders first. For instance, speaking with a grandmother (matriarch) to ascertain if she has any taboos, if applicable. If there are none, then the prospect of having a wedding here appears more favorable. 4. Have you sought the advice of a 'crazy' geomancer? If you consulted a geomancer who practices a simplistic form of ba zi, where they inform you or your partner that they are a fire person and should avoid water, etc., then if you have encountered such an individual, you must decide whether to accept or disregard their counsel. 5. Indeed, I have attended weddings abroad that were near artificial waterfalls, among other locations. 6. Furthermore, there are even instances of couples marrying while wearing scuba diving gear in a large tank, etc.. 6. And there are even those who got married wearing suba diving gear in a large tank... etc.. Okay.. most likely one of them is a Navy Seal. LOL

Another dimension to look at is the Flying Stars. Besides other considerations, concepts and principles before making an educated fact-based determination of whether to re-locate a kitchen; Enclosed is a sterling example of understanding each sector's Flying Stars. Else we may hear such bad news as:"Mountain Star #8 with Water Star #8 = Prosperity good wealth is wasted in the Kitchen & Utility area" Thus, if we were to re-locate a kitchen, we may inadvertently located it or waste the good wealth sector location.

The Glades condo site plan superimposed on the onemap.sg site. Out of a total of 9 blocks in this development : 8 blocks are of a NW and SE facing direction. The only advantage going for this site is it's proximity to the MRT station else with the elevated MRT tracks and stations; hopefully the noise level from the MRTs is tolerable even if 6 blocks are furthest away from the tracks.

In my opinion, these blocks (highlighted in yellow) in the attachment comprising various configurations / bedroom types are the better stacks in Botanique at Bartley. In addition, if one is a west group person, this is an added bonus:- Blk 235 stacks 38 39 Block 233 stacks 31, 32, 36 and 37 Another good thing is that these blocks and stacks are not affected by the afternoon sun as they are all Flying Stars Period 8 NE1.

A major shapes and forms consideration when we site or locate a kitchen in a semi-detached home is where are the "three openings: front, back and which is the side that is an open area". If so, drawing the same parallel to the kitchen, it was proposed that the lift be sharing the same wall as the other semi-detached home's diving wall:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=31803&new= However, if the home is a terrace house then the above is not an additional consideration. For a bungalow house; the rest of the other concepts as mentioned in an earlier message is considered, first.

Botanique @ Bartley Feng Shui Blocks 223, 225 and 227 are more clear-cut as there is more allowance for deviations as the readings are 25 degrees or 205 degrees. These blocks are either NE1 or SW1 facing directions.

Blocks 233, 235 and 237 Botanique at Bartley An initial plotting of the compass directions using a protractor and sales brochure shows that the readings are a close call between either Flying Stars NE1 or N3. For now, the readings seems to be at 203 degrees SW1 and NE1 at 23 degrees. A proper reading should be taken when these blocks?233, 235 and 237 Botanique at Bartley are completed. To ensure tha3t it is still NE1 and SW1 or N3 or S3.

If this was the 1950s to even up to the 1980's a person without many tiers or levels of facts can even be passed-off as someone knowledgeable in Feng Shui. But in todays world with so many resources; theories, concepts; and the need to collate all the facts; just like zig-saw puzzles into a large holistic map; Re-locating a stove is serious business. Even more so, since one has in addition to look at the relocation of the sink with all it's ancillaries like the drainage pipes to sewerage system. Try not to ask "no substance" questions. And wanting to extract some answers from such erh? questions? As I mentioned, a "no substance" is akin to the blind leading the blind. Even in the early days of Feng Shui; there were still some tools equivalent to an "X-ray". Not that sophisticated but at least some substance. It is just like; I am standing next to an MRI machine. And getting asked questions and unable to utilize the MRI machine. If so, as I had mentioned the HARD TRUTH is why then use such a thing as Feng Shui. Go use that coin and flip it! Furthermore, there are other common sense factors, some of which I had mentioned in an earlier message. This one I have not mentioned: For example, it makes a difference if the home is a semi-detached. As a semi-detached has three sides/opening. Usually the front and back are open. And the open side should often preferably to a bedroom or dining area or activity area instead of being wasted if it is occupied by the kitchen. If so this most likely means that the bedroom would be sharing the wall with the other semi-detached - fewer ventilation opening(s) etc....

Feng Shui is not about "plucking information" from the air and asking questions based on one's whims and fancies. If not, as I had mentioned, earlier; might as not turn to Feng Shui. And use a simple tool like a coin: Determine which is your Yes = heads? and No = tails? There are lots of considerations. Some of the many considerations are enclosed: 1. This includes the best sectors for what in aspecific home for a specific breadwinner 2. The wife's ba zi needs to be considered 3. The flying star(s) for that sector etc.. etc.. What facts have you got? Else, go and use and use the no-brainer "flip a coin". or the whims and fancy type of Fast Food Feng Shui.

Jason Z. wrote:Also, if the main gate and the front door are aligned, do we need to place any plants etc to block anysha qi? As mentioned, in my previous message; if no threat, what is there to block any non-existing sha qi. In addition, common sense says that if this area is the car-park; won't it be an obstacle to parking a car and/or getting in and out of the car-park. Are you thus looking at an "imaginary enemy" in the form of an imaginary threat or non-existing threat? What is there to cure if there is no threat to the main door? Why so obsessed with this? Unless you can find a threat. Jason Z. wrote:2. Kitchen - The breadwinner is a male. Assuming that kitchen shifts to the southwest and the bedroom with in-built toilet is above the kitchen, would this be an issue? Otherwise, is it ok for the kitchen to remain in the northwest? As mentioned, in my last message. Have you done a proper TRIAGE? Ref: http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage A proper Triage MEANS: 1. Plotting the flying stars of the home. Here, one is analysing the flying star sectors. In addition, the individual family member's ba zi and even the eight house chart(s) are considered in a HOLISTIC manner. 2. Reviewing the lady of the house's ba zi to ensure the best facing direction of the stove. In my opinion, do a search for Fast Food Feng Shui. As this is what you may be doing. In a proper Feng Shui audit, especially a serious issue like re-location of the stove etc... As mentioned above, someone has to plot out the proper charts; and analysethem in detail. Your questions are like the blind leading the blind to answer questions. Lots of empty vessels making lots of noises. But zero facts. In the past, maybe. But today, the way this type of "hit-and-run" Fast Food Feng Shui is even not Feng Shui. Might as well use another method: Flip a coin: Heads = Yes, Tails = No.

These are some considerations: Anonymous wrote:1. Front door -Is it truethatthe front door and front gate should not be aligned?Myfront gate is currently on the left of the house. In orderthat they are notin a straight line, the front door can be shifted to the right of the house. But theright is the 'tiger' sidewhich is less ideal compared to the 'dragon' (left). I cant shift the front door to the middle as it faces the back of the lamp post. There are many instances both in Singapore, Malaysia and all over the world that it is still possible for the front door and front gate to be aligned together. Why some say that it cannot be aligned? This has more to do with common sense than Feng Shui: 1. It has often to do with either the type of main gate design and /or how often one fully opens the main gate. 2. This is because, if the main gate if fully opened can be "exposed" to sha qi or poison arrow(s) from neighbouring street lamp or poison arrow(s) from a neighbour's roof-line. 3. Especially, because of Para 2; this is why, it is often considered SAFER to have the main entrance door at the "other side" of the house. Here, we are suppose to have more control as to what is facing the main door. Thus because of Para 3; some conveniently say that the main door should not be aligned with the main gate. Anonymous wrote:2. Kitchen - Is it true that the kitchen cannot be located at the northwest of the house?Isit better toshift itto swop with the granny's room andtoilet, and switch to the southeast of the house? Or it is better for the kitchen to remain at the northwest to suppress the Jue Ming star? This statement sounds more like a newbie "geomancer-talk". It is so easy to say shift this, swop this. But, one needs to do a proper Triage. Many considerations: who is the main breadwinner (male or female); on the ground floor; has to check what is above on the 2nd floor. For example, what happens if there is a toilet at 2nd floor - south east. And or if the stove goes to SE, what is on the 2nd storey a bedroom a bed etc... Anonymous wrote:3. Alter - Does the alter need to directly face the front door? Or is it ok for the alter to face front door but from the side, i.e. my front door on the right and the alter on the left? Not that ideal.
