Please visit this most updated comprehensive resource to find out more on the facing direction of a home. Is it always the front / main entrance door? Do read the above resource, first. == Older Resources == In my opinion; these are some considerations: 1. Is this an existing apartment or a brand new one? 2. If this is this an existing apartment and you or your family had stayed in it for a few years. Or if you have a reliable source e.g. a friend or a "truthful" person who can give you a glimpse of that specific unit's history. 2.1. If so, one could consider plotting a few flying star charts e.g. of a few directions. And study them to see which seems to be "more accurate". 2.2 However, this is not for a novice. But for a person who is fairly conversant with Flying Star Feng Shui. 2.3. There are some considerations to the above if even the Period may be in question. For example, it is a straight forward case if there were no major renovations (and even what type need to be considered). If so, determine which period it was built and it's T.O.P. date is/was. 2.4. But if the Period is in question then under Para 2.1; then one should also consider this when plotting various charts. 3. However, for a new apartment; in general I believe most have read this or some other links from various places:- 3.1 Resource link (in case some may not know the various controversies such as the ultra conservatives who go only by the text book etc...) 4. Key success factors: 4.1. In my opinion; the key success factor of finding the facing direction (please note that this may be the main door or it may not; it could even be standing inside the living room looking out or even e.g. if the "rear" of the house has a wonderful view with lots of openings towards the rear.. looking into a wonderful lake. 4.2. Why in the first place do we need to find the "facing direction"? 4.3. The main purpose of doing so is to determine from where the MAJORITY of qi or ("wind + light / brightness") flows into a PLACE. 4.4. Thus if one is looking at macro Feng Shui of a building or a site; then we should determine the facing direction of that the attached layout of the six storey building. 5. Unfortunately, it is not easy to comment only on just a "flat" 2D illustration such as this. As there is no surrounding buildings views or what the entire building looks like with all it's windows / openings even the roads etc... 5.1. For a geomancer or someone practising it; should be at the actual site to get a feel of things. 5.2. And it is not like one size fits all sort of thing. A management concept called : "Situational Approach" can also be applied; here. 5.3. What it implies is that no two situations are the same. Here if we apply it under Feng Shui; then no two units are the same. Each unit has to be looked at in entirety. 5.3. For example: for an existing home; an experienced geomancer would try to even determine the household's habits. Which door he/she opens more often; even which door (or sliding doors) and/or windows (if any) etc... 5.4. Thus for an apartment; if the owners do not open their windows on one side and often even use near to 100 percent block out curtains or blinds; and love to open their main door most of the time when he/she are at home; then contrary to what you and I determine; here, the determining factor is the owner's habits, first! 6. Remember this mantra: " You (owner) stay there; We don't!" applies. 7. If you had posted this to lots of geomancy websites for advice; one would be literally flooded with a 1001 different view points. 7.1. And even "argue" until all the cows come home. Although all of us are one single race of homo-sapiens; each of us are individuals with our own view points. 8. I certainly do not want to be drawn into this issue. In addition; there are some geomancers unfortunately, who instead of focusing of the issue..

Water classics and water courses Photo taken from Block 194B Just T.O.P. Skyline I looking towards block 182 Bukit Batok. There is a world of difference if water flows to the blue or to the red arrows to the stacks marked as A of the block in the photo as well as the side stacks eg. Blk 194B where I had taken the photo from. Sometimes water may flow backwards if the canal is at the mouth of a river due to tidal influences. So far I have observed that mostly this canals water flows towards the blue arrow...

Sophia Hills is invariably linked to its most renowned landmark, The Cathay cinema, along with the hanging trees... Fortunately, Sophia Hills is situated "up-there," whereas The Cathay cinema is located "down-there." The Cathay was previously a popular destination for ghost sightings. In the past, Sophia Hills was known for its food and dining options "up-there." This 99/109 leasehold land, referred to as Sophia Hills, must be developed around the preserved Child-care/kindergarten building and the conserved structure known as The Sophia Shophouse. Nevertheless, there are drawbacks to this, such as the sharp angles of the rooflines and ledges, as well as the pointed corners of these buildings directed towards any openings in the units within the development. For instance, a seemingly innocuous roofline, as depicted in the attached illustrations... Conserved structure: Childcare/Kindergarten and Conserved Structure: The Sophia Clubhouse. For example, the green arrows indicate a potential hazard from the roofline of the conserved building's roof towards specific levels of stack #37 if there are openings in these areas. Likewise, the cyan arrows suggest a possible threat to stack #43 (if applicable). The purple arrow represents both the potential danger of the rooflines and/or the sharp corner of the building. The yellow arrows indicate potential threats to stack #83 or #91. The blue arrow points to a potential risk to stack #90 (if applicable).

1. Stack 274 is classified under Period 8 Flying Stars N1. The primary advantage of an N1 chart is its favorable double 8s positioned at the front. 1.1 It is beneficial if the frontage includes a water feature. However, stack 274 lacks genuine water unless a water element is incorporated. 1.2. Nonetheless, in its "current state": there exists a clear space of virtual water at the frontage (the living room's facing direction). In this area, there is a patch of grass directly in front of the stack/unit, followed by an internal service road that serves as a buffer to Margaret Drive. 1.3 This stack would undoubtedly gain from having a bedroom or living room situated in an auspicious sector, such as the NE sector, as it possesses favorable star combinations of MS#6 + WS#1. 1.4 Locating a bedroom in the East sector is advantageous for a bedroom cum study. 1.5 Conversely, the remaining sectors of the N1 chart exhibit unfavorable or inauspicious stars, which may require "disarming/neutralizing". 2. Stack 272 is associated with an S1 chart. The distinction between an S1 and an N1 chart lies in the inversion of the mountain and water stars. 2.1 Unlike S2/S3 charts, where the current prosperity stars #8 + #8 are positioned at the front; 2.2. Regrettably, the combined auspicious wealth stars MS#8 + WS#8 are located at the "rear" of the unit. This is quite unfortunate, as this area typically encompasses the kitchen and yard rather than the front, such as the living room or the front side of the home. 2.3 It would be beneficial to have a bedroom situated in the East sector, which is favorable for studies. 2.4 If the main entrance is positioned at NE, it would be excellent due to the favorable combinations of MS#1 with WS#6 in this sector.

I am pleased to hear that you found my previous posts enjoyable. Thank you! I have revised the original post to enhance its clarity. This adjustment was necessary because I only have the S2 worked-out chart available alongside this rough sketch. Additionally, I neglected to mention that the Flying Star numbers for an S2 chart are the same. For instance: the South sector in both charts, whether S2 or S3, will display two numbers at the top, #8 and #8. The base number remains 3. The sole distinction lies in their respective compass directions: S2 = between 172.5 to 187.4 degrees (180 degrees chart) S3 = between 187.5 to 202.4 degrees (195 degrees chart) Attached is an S2 chart, with highlights in the South sector showing 8 + 8 over 3. S3 = between 187.5 to 202.4 degrees (195 degrees chart) Attached is an S2 chart. Highlights at South sector which has 8 + 8 upon 3

Sophia Hills Condominium (a re-launch) It is essential to verify the accuracy of the Sales Brochure's site-map against the local street directory to ascertain whether the North marking on the Sales Brochure's site-map is correct. This verification is necessary because, in previous instances, a few Sales Brochures contained not only inaccurate but significantly erroneous North markings on their site plans. Consequently, if one were to follow or rely on this North marking without question, it could lead to an unpleasant surprise later on... Is the sales brochure reliable? The positive aspect is that the margin of error is not merely a 5-degree discrepancy: for instance, the Sales Brochure indicates a 45-degree frontage, whereas the street directory shows 40 degrees. Fortunately, this discrepancy falls safely within the parameters of Period 8, NE2 facing direction, where the acceptable range is between 37.5 degrees and 52.4 degrees. This provides a considerable buffer or safety margin. Attached are the two documents: the street directory and the sales brochures.

1. To begin with, it is not considered professional for competitors in the same industry to make comments about each other's work. 2. Moreover, I am uncertain about the accuracy of the attached charts. For instance, the chart indicates that it is a Period 5 chart, while today we are in a Period 8 chart: 2004 to 2023. A Period 7 chart covers 1984 to 2003, and a Period 6 chart spans 1964 to 1983. The implications of using a Period 5 chart to plot your factory are unclear. 2.1. In addition to the Flying Star chart, other factors such as the surrounding drainage flow around the factory should be considered. 2.2. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, such as the location of the building and the external environment, are also important considerations. For example, a neighboring property with a "fire" element could pose a threat to the business. 3. Furthermore, I have provided interpretations of the significance of certain numbers, such as #5 in business representing misfortune or "sickness." 3.1. In addition to the above, I am having difficulty interpreting the blurred images, especially the second attachment.

The above is just the beginning of this review. This is an example of a Can or Cannot buy for specific stacks. Frankly, it is very time consuming. For this analysis alone: it took me from start to finish close to 6 solid hours of work: gather each layout; make sure that they are not mirrored; match the compass directions ... etc... And usually after finishing this analysis.. will leave me with a head-ache.. but this aside..

Riverbank @ Fernvale by UOL 1. There are two schools of Feng Shui: Compass School and Shapes and Forms. 2. Here, if you are a person who is considered as more logical, analytical and objective, then you most likely lean towards the Compass School where it uses numbers. 2.1. If you are more intuitive and subjective is considered better at Shapes and Forms. As can even picture it. 2.2. For example, "if I were to tell you that there is a dragon embracing a tiger, here. And if one were to ask where? But instead, I express it by number. For example this sector has the #1 water star with #8 a mountain; then a left-brain person would understand better. 3. Two worlds coincide.. here.. 3.1. For Block 17 stack #33 this is where even if one is a left or right brain dominance; majority may figure out that #33 is "The One!" 3.2. Here, whether if you are a left or right brain dominance person may come to the same conclusion that Block 17 #33 could be the best stack/unit. (Fortunately for some who have the purchasing power may go for it. If one has a tight budget... hmmm)... 3.3. What is so tempting about Block 17 stack #33? a. Suppose to have one of the best Shapes and Forms in Riverbank @ Fernvale: - within the development there are "veins" of water flow/course right at the front of the stack. - forever and ever (until en-bloc if any) it will enjoy unobstructed view of the water bank. - a stack located at the "land of the rising sun" easterly ... side instead of the sunset side... b. Under Flying Star Feng Shui; often when I buy a home for myself either for stay or renting out.. I would go for one with the auspicious double's of that period. Thus from now to 2023... the facing of this stack has the auspicious #8's at it's frontage. Frankly, even for this stack #33; it is still not perfect! But because of so many good things going for it... even if the kitchen is at the dreaded "NW" or fire-at-heaven's gate location.. no big deal... since even such "flaws" are no match for what I mentioned above.... However, under Flying Star Feng Shui.. under Period 9 which will slowly be influenced by that period chi two years before 2024 ... the wealth stars by say... 2022.. 2023.. will unfortunately "fly" to the rear side of this stack... Thus unfortunately.. even with so many things going for it... for the male breadwinner.. be cautious of career issues... around 2022.. 2023... Fortunately... if one can tide through this two years from 2024 onwards... the saving grace of especially good Shapes and Forms etc.. will help tremendously to help reduce it..

This bungalow is located at Mountbatten Road. In the past around the 1950's bungalows in this area is around 9,500 sq feet. This design can also be found at Greenleaf area Rd / Dr / View. But usually split into half I.e. Semi-detached homes. For the Mountbatten Road example; the balcony's arch curves outwards. But for the sample layout plan of Greenleaf as shown in the earlier thread; the arc curves inwards; not outwards. More of the same theme.

Kensington Square @ Tai Keng Gardens Just T.O.P.

Poor Shapes & Forms but no obvious "threat" from movement of or flow of vehicles passing past the front gate of this home. Good news is that the home is set-back quite a distance from the road. A pretty sizeable home by Singapore standards, today. Arrows show the direction of vehicle flow.

Medallion walk @ Bartley Cool..real a "gold" medallion

I know some have seen this photo many times before... But working late... certainly puts a smile on one's face! Any time of the day! P.S. Copyright of Microsoft Windows 10 screen saver... hope MS don't mind me taking this snapshot... BTW at least I am supporting your product..& not taken a bite from an Apple.. rite? Like what you see? Of course! Give me more! You are so...so.. sweet.. Here's a kiss + a hug!

I have compared the North marking of the streetdirectory-map with that of the Sales brochure. The deviation is only a mere 1 degrees. And I found this margin to be on the very safe-side. Thus since both match near-precise; this implies that the sales brochure's North marking can be "trusted" in accessing the compass directions. The streetdirectory's show a sample reading of 118 degrees. And the sales brochure of the same direction shows 119 degrees. Either maps can be relied upon at the moment to get the compass degrees for Flying Star Feng Shui analysis.

Flying Star Feng Shui based on the sales brochure of the following:- Stacks 14, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 26, 27 are either NE3 or SW3 facing. Stacks 16, 17, 20, 21, 24, 25, 28, 29 are either NE1 or SW1 facing

The Pavilion Gazebo-roof-lines are okay. But ouch! do watch those vertical poles supporting the pavilion / gazebo's. When standing inside any unit; avoid facing such vertical poles as shown in the illustration. The hardest is if one were to stand at that lovely balcony and be "confronted" with such a vertical pole or even a lone tree trunk. These are considered poison arrow or sha qi. Harder to cure. As normally we often leave the balcony sliding door open or do not draw the curtains fully to block or screen it (if any). If these vertical poles face a window opening.. much easier to cure as one can often draw the day curtain fully all day round. And this is suppose to be acceptable / practical "cure".

The Santorini Condominium @ Tampines and scanning for any signs of sha qi (poison arrows) from threats like club-house roof-lines / gazebo roof-lines or even other seemingly innocent structures... This illustration shows spacious setting.... a good sign...

The Santorini Condominium @ Tampines is said to got it's inspiration from the Mediterranean. A medium sized condo with a total of 597 units. From a Top-view perspective the 7 blocks are roughly U shaped layout. Where block 35 is arranged a little off from it's two sister blocks 21 and 31-33. This site is on a pure rectangular plot. And under conservative Shapes and Forms Feng Shui is truly playing safe-macro Feng Shui. Stacks like Block 29 stack #26 and also Block 23 stack #14 will invariably create poison arrows from the sharp-corner of the block aimed towards stack #32. While stack #14 has it's corner aimed towards stack #08. See attached illustration. The Flying Stars of Blocks 21 31 33 35 stacks that either face Period 8: NW1 or SE1 directions.

Commonwealth Towers and Stacks #09, #10, #20 & #21 These stacks face an auspicious Flying star direction of SE3. SE 3 facing has the water wealth star at it's frontage. Thus stacks #09 and #21 definitely meets the criteria. But with a caution: "white pollution" or especially for #09 even if it is inner stack (stack #10 being the closest to the MRT tracks) there will still be noise coming from the tracks during MRT operational hours. But I suppose, many would want to get the highest possible units. If so, then the above may not be of an issue. #10 also faces the pool as it is quite a distance away. But still meets the above SE3 facing criteria of water at it's frontage. Stack #20 especially higher storeys like 4th storey and above faces "virtual water" or yin water. Not real but better than nothing... "type of water" aka skyjuice. For a SE3 facing, however, the rest of the stars in other sectors are inauspicious. And may need to be disarmed especially in locations such as living / dining / bedrooms. These four stacks #09, #10, #20 & #21 does meet another criteria for SE3 facing a really good mountain support. In the form of the huge central core housing the lifts / staircase etc... If one is a non-lover of afternoon sun.. then stack #10 may have partial afternoon sun.. but the trade-off is that if one hangs clothes.. these dry pretty fast .. on sunny days!

Gramercy Park by CDL formerly Lucky Towers 1. My first impressions of this condo's name Gra - mercy? I simply don't like this unusual non-English name. Especially when I "break-it up" as above. 1.1. No offence, initially I also thought that Gramercy is a new horror movie like gremlins or something of that nature. 2. In fact, I suspect in the near future tell this name to a taxi driver and they or even the person wanting to go there may have a hard timing pronouncing the name. 3. Any way Gramercy Park is suppose to be not only luxury but said to be ULTRA luxury condo: privacy and exclusivity with the world's finest facilities. 4. When one first looks at the site map: one would assume that for eg. stack #09 would have the entire living room cum dining room facing towards "X" as shown in the attachment. 4.1. But this was not to be. In fact, if one were to purchase a unit at stack #09; standing anywhere in the living room / balcony... to the right will be the huge rubbish bin centre and the drive up for the rubbish truck. 4.2. Thus, I was scratching my head.. hmmmm P.S. The frontage of stack #09 should be standing at marking in purple A looking out towards B. The consolation is that the master bedroom has a commanding view of the pool. But somehow; it's huge toilet occupies part of the area facing the pool. And only the master bedroom, a bedroom + a small portion of the living room balcony has direct the pool view.

Next door neighbour is MeeToh School Did you notice the Swatica logo of the school with 4 rings at it's centre? Since 1954...

Flying Star Feng Shui has it's origin from this festival.. believe it or not.. In addition, Chinese sword fighting formations are also associated to these 9 stars: "The Big Dipper formation ++" Taoist Nine Emperor Gods Festival (Kee Ong Yah festival) or Nine deities star gods festival This Taoist celebration always starts on the eve of the 9th Chinese Lunar month. This celebrations are generally localised to South-east Asian countries with their ethnic Chinese population. In general, the nine emperors (deities) consists of 9 stars: 1. The Big Dipper has seven stars. And each of these stars are considered an emperor each. 2. Plus there is an emperor who is the North Ursa Major star. This star is actually visible to the naked eyes on a clear night. 3. And lastly two assistant or associate stars. And unless one has bionic eyes; this two assistant or associate stars are difficult to detect with non-bionic eyes.. i.e. regular eyes likes yours and mind. Therefore, the above 7 + 1 + 2 = a total of 9 stars making what is known to this festival as the 9 Emperor (9 Stars) Gods. On the eve of the ninth lunar month, a ceremony is held as a welcome celebration and to invite the nine Emperors (9 stars). Elaborate bridges etc.. are erected to symbolise and to acknowledge these gods arrival from waterways or rivers. This is not the American Ku Klux Klan (KKC) or white supremacy gang. But by coincidence devotees also wear traditional white for purity and they carry incense and candles and await for the arrival to greet the Nine gods. During the festival; this is a joyous and carnival-like occasion. Either in a temple. But in Singapore; such temples are small and cannot hold that many people. This is why, for example, they lease the plot of land next to the Eunos MRT. Where I had taken photos from a-far. In addition, this piece of land is appropriate since during the duration of the festival; prayer bells and chants are performed by priests. If this festival is held next to housing estates; this may not go well with the residents especially after 10pm. At this Eunos site; FREE vegetarian meals are provided during this nine days of celebration together with continuous chanting of prayers daily. On the last day of this festival: devotees sends the 9 Emperors back to Heaven. By the way, this is one way of associating the 9 Star Ki or 9 Palaces of the Flying Stars concept...
