Initial Opening of Door - Best time to go back?
Non-mandatory Chinese traditions: This is unrelated to Feng Shui. Feng Shui encompasses both art and science. Customs in Chinese culture that are not tied to religion and are optional for individuals to observe. The central focus is on the arrangement of wealth...or the concept of arranging the Five treasures....

The Father of romanized Chinese Hanyi Pinyin has died
Mr Zhou Youguang died on 14 January 2017 at the age of 111years. He is attributed to romanized mandarin and in Singapore, I remembered clearly that I started Primary 1 has to learn the traditional strokes. In Primary 2 onwards simplified mandarin. And at the same time each of us received a booklet on Hanyi Pinyin. However, during that time for examinations this was not taken seriously. Some of us found it useful. As Hanyi Pinyin was great for the English speaking students who found difficulties in speaking the language. Rest in peace Mr Zhou Youguan! You made a significant contribution to the advancement of our language..

Want a new Condo reviewed? New ECs / HDB BTOs no need to ask for one...
1. Do you want to have a general review of a new Condo reviewed? 2. Larger developments often will be reviewed once I can get hold of the Sales brochure with site plan and floor plans. 3. As you know, there are many small developments and there are just too many! Thus less likely to be reviewed unless someone puts in a request. Subject to my work-load and time. 3.1. Please avoid the common questions: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wwwgeomancynet/

Are you short-changed by a geomancer?
Case Study 2: Exploiting a human loophole: "Greed begets Greed" 1. Many unscrupulus Feng Shui Masters (FSMs) will tell their client to buy commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. 2. These FSMs do so by telling us that we also will enjoy riches after placing such and such a product. "You have to buy this... where? I have in stock!" 3. Some food for thought... 4. When the buying stops; the selling can! 5. Please spread the word to your family members, friends and as many people as possible this message to do this:- Wishing you and your loved ones: Health, Wealth and Happiness Always!

Choosing Names for business
Question "Hi , good morning. Just wondering if you can help to choose names for business? Look forward to your reply." Reply: 1. There is no precedence for an English name. Furthermore, have to do a search if a company has already used this name or not. 2. Generally, most tend to choose a generic name eg. ABC Food Industries or an auspicious name like Sunshine ... 3. If one still wants a Chinese company name; then; this is feasible still. And/or hang a company sign..

Feng Shui of Parc Life Executive Condo (EC) - Old Post
1. Frankly, it is not a must-have. 2. Since the fee for non-urgent is not over the hill; Many have used this path. 3. Surprisingly, one would have thought that most likely a young couple and first owners use this type of service; but on the contrary; 3.1 There are lots more second or third home buyers.. felt this need... 4. Generally, majority of developments often will have "the good, the average or the ugly" units. 4.1. Thus even if an average unit is bought often; still can be "enhanced". 4.2. Good luck if it is that "ugly" unit. Imagine.. like buying a 9 year old car due to be scrapped a year later... or an equivalent of a 850cc engine... Try driving on lane 1 with a TOP speed of 70km... Unfortunately, often there may not be a cure...here... 5. In the past, often the last units to be sold in most developments in SGP are often: a. Lower floors facing the guard room b. Associated with the afternoon sun c. Near to central rubbish bins / entrance-exit points /drop-offs ... If not, it would be that the developer held back some choice stacks to be sold later. As the developer knows... this is their "show hand"... Wishing you, best of luck!

Are you short-changed by a geomancer?
Be careful of this old Feng Shui scam Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially running Feng Shui stores in disguise. Genuine Feng Shui is not about buying lots of commercial products in its name. Always ask: “Do I really need to buy this from you?” In fact, the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. They seem more interested in selling so-called “lifestyle” products than actually providing proper Feng Shui advice. +++ What Chat GPT Says about Geomancy.net You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of practitioners acting more like salespeople than genuine consultants. Instead of focusing on the core principles—energy flow, spatial arrangement, harmony—many have shifted toward selling "Feng Shui" products, often with little real impact beyond their price tags. Your approach to **question everything**—especially with "Must I buy from YOU?"—is wise and empowering. It cuts through the sales pitch and gets to the heart of what’s authentic and necessary. The rise of so-called lineage masters intensifies this issue. Their supposed credibility is often used to market expensive lifestyle items, creating a business model where advice is intertwined (or even dependent on) product sales. Genuine Feng Shui, however, is about harnessing the natural flow of energy using knowledge and intent, not buying endless objects. **A few ways to keep things real:** - **Ask for advice first, products second.** A true practitioner can explain remedies or suggestions without immediately pushing sales. - **Know that authentic Feng Shui relies more on placement and timing than material goods.** Your home’s orientation, layout, and how you use space matter most—objects are secondary or sometimes unnecessary. - **Be skeptical if someone says you need to buy their exclusive items for results.** Often, similar solutions are available or even unnecessary. In short: Your instincts are right. Genuine Feng Shui should help people—not turn anyone into a captive customer. Hold onto that critical mindset, and you’ll always be able to separate authentic guidance from the noise of commercialization. From Day 1, we share your concern From the very first day, we acknowledge your concerns. We will never offer you any products for sale! Numerous Feng Shui Masters operate as a Feng Shui Store in disguise. Caution: Even individuals who assert they possess a Feng Shui Lineage are just as culpable of this. IN SUMMARY The main takeaway from the text is a cautionary message about the potential deceit within the Feng Shui community, highlighting that some practitioners may prioritize sales over genuine guidance, regardless of their claimed expertise or lineage. Ask: "Must I buy from you?" Best Site on the Web: Posted on March 10, 2003 +++ Case Study 1: Three things to keep in mind when choosing a Feng Shui master: 1. Ask to see a sample of their work 2. Look for clues from their website 3. Sounds impressive! A Grandmaster? Really? Case Study 1. How Feng Shui is applied in the modern world today. 1. Use this checklist to ask about the specific methods your potential Feng Shui Master (FSM) will use to evaluate your home. 2. A new client recently showed me the audit report from her previous FSM’s assessment of her house. 3. That FSM simply used an existing copy of the house layout and only reviewed the final outcome. (Note: The sensitive details in my new client’s report have been hidden and marked in RED):- 3.1. From what I can tell, the geomancer is applying the Compass School Feng Shui method. 3.2. Compass School Feng Shui involves: a. Eight House or Eight Mansions with Flying Stars. 4. For a thorough Feng Shui audit (which usually requires 2 or more visits, instead of just a basic one-time consultation), 4.1. you can expect to receive a much more in-depth and comprehensive analysis. 5. It is very important to insist that the FSM provides something genuinely beneficial. 6. Geomancy.net understands your needs and makes sure you receive full value for your money. 7. It’s quite unrealistic to expect anyone to remember everything shared over one and a half to two hours! 8. Also, when meeting with an interior designer, be sure to bring along your ideas for the consultation. 8.1 And you can even pass the ID a copy of our detailed and colourful reports. 9. Feng Shui has come a long way from the old days of geomancers sketching everything by hand on paper. 10. Neither you nor your partner should feel like you have to act as an overworked secretary for the whole day. 11. When an FSM takes the time to prepare detailed proposals, it shows that they truly care about you and your family. 12. The FSM takes care to properly prepare Individual Ba Zi reports, Eight House, Flying Star, and other related assessments. 13. They then move on to review and finalize your evaluation. 14. When discussing your ideas, such as Options 1 and 2, during the meeting, only minimal documentation is needed. Instead, more time should be spent going through the proposals and exploring other alternatives, since all the templates are already clearly presented.
