1. Yes, it is simply common sense that you should use your ACTUAL birth date. 1.1. In fact, in many countries, and in rural areas, often a birth gets reported several days later or even weeks later. 1.2. In Singapore, there are lots of cases where, a birth was reported many days and weeks later. Thus, it is always prudent to use one's actual birth date. This refers to the 2nd part of your question: Master Bedroom: Which side must I sleep on

These are some considerations: 1. The famous saying Rome is not built in a day. 1.1 Neither can an ANSWER can be immediately given to someone who says "Any remedy for this?" 2.Please note that there are so many concepts and principles. Furthermore, the following are cruicial: STEP 1: Feng Shui Triage Proper trouble-shooting is required. OTHERS: Fix-the-Leak, First! Easily three or more major problems. The Concept of Maximizing Marks Hopefully from a FAIL to a PASS or better! The Customer Engineer Concept If you D.I.Y. make sure you read this!

You can try buying some Feng Shui Flying Star book(s) or might consider myFlying Star course that lists out in detail all the 81 combinations etc...

1. Often, many Feng Shui concepts have it's origin from pure common sense. 2. From a Feng Shui point of view, take the attached example. 2.1. In some homes for convenience the contractor may run a water pipe close-to or the stove perhaps to install a water pipe to a Fridge that can dispense cold water. 2.2. When we use a stove, often the surrounding space close to some stove may heat up. And what is worse if we run a water pipe e.g. six inches across the stove? 2.3 As most water pipes are made of copper, copper conducts heat easily and the result is that water passing thru would get heated up. 3. In Feng Shui, this is explained as the stove belongs to the fire element. And the water-pipe since it contains water (implies that water is close to the stove) = considered inauspicious.

1. In my opinion, your question has more to do with common sense than Feng Shui. 2. The concern has more to do with hygiene such as unseen vapours. Anything relating to the "dirty" such as sewerage, septic etc... is considered dirty liquid. 3. Thus of course, if there is a choice, one should not even place be such things within living quarters. 4. Between the devil (the stove) and the deep blue sea (the sink); if one has to really choose where to place the septic tank, then it would have to be furthest away from the STOVE. 4.1 Thus if one really (I mean) really have to choose; then go with the sink area. 5. What happens ifone applys Flying Star Feng Shui? 5.1 A geomancer would always (if possible) ask not to place e.g. the septic tank at an auspicious sector. 5.2 Again, one has to be practical; with a limited space 30sqm.. no choice..... rather go with the sink than the stove. Why? 5.3 From a Feng Shui point of view; the stove represents the fire element and septic belongs to the water element. Fire and Water clash. As compared to the sink (WITH) water.

1. We can draw a parallel with the "Yellow ribbon". 2. Let's hope that person changes for good. A glimmer of hope? If not, what the HECK! Sent that person to JAPAN! or NIPPON LAND! A land of few curses and lots of bowing.... 3. I assure you, if the person you mentioned goes to Nippon, he/she will be cured! 4. Some consider the Yellow Ribbon a project as they believe that out of all the hardcore; some might change for the better

1. Please note that Ba Zi has several escape clauses such as philantropy; one's education and surroundings. 2. For example, two persons: A and Bwere born on the same day and same time and both have what you mentioned. 2.1 For example : Person A was born in JAPAN. and Person B was born in a bad part of USA. 2.2 I would believe if person A is living in Japan and surrounding people around him/her often if never curse and swear. 2.3 But the Person B who has a rougher life may perhapsbe will forever be fighting and cursing. 3. Thus family, friends, neighbours can be a great influence, here. 4. Therefore, Ba Zi is only a snap-shot of what one is born with. But the environment that one is/was brought up and surroundings would be important. 5. For example, Person B gets into trouble and placed in certain jails. Some jails are rough neighbourhood(s). 6. Therefore, I personal believe what you mentioned cannot be a slam-dunk situation. 7. However, psychologically: some get into trouble based on "auto-suggestion and self-fulfiling prophecy. 7.1. For example, a joker reads and keeps reminding himself that his bazi "JUSTIFIES" him to be forever fighting and cursing. Well you know the story, here....

1. In my opinion, this is modern times and not some medieval times. 2. Nowadays or even in the past,few people if any decide totravel based on the decision of whetherit is a good or inauspicious day to do so. 3. If we do so, there is very little leeway and our life is like at the mercy of or even considered as enslaven. 4. Mathematically speaking: 4.1.It is much safer to be travelling on a plane than say on the road. As the miles per incident is few on an airplane. 4.2. Again,if there are 100 or more person's travelling on the same flight; in theory, 50 percent would be travelling on their auspicious dayswhile 50 percent would be travelling likewhat you are concerned with. 5. If you applythe Five Elements concept, then, one of the principles is enhance with your "best" colours. Travel, safe!

It is definitely not based on the Lowest Common Denominator!

What I suggested is something like under the attachment: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=13835&new=?pagewanted=all

1. For those into the "Flying star thing"; if there are good star numbers at the frontage in particular: #8 or even double #8's = slam shut the entire door when at home can be a double edged sword. 2. Unless the stars congregating at the frontage are bad ones like MS or WS #3, #2 or #5 individually or in combination of each other. 3. If good stars are at the frontage, may consider leaving the main entrance door slightly ajar e.g. 5 to 10 degrees opened. 4. There are other passive solutions; often best to work in conjunction with the flying stars at that sector. But if the stars are not looked at; then you may consider a semi-circular mat radiating outwards outside of your main entrance. The most yang colour is red. (try and error use red or again if you know the star numbers at the frontage; then harmonise it with the flying stars of that sector). 5. Other hard-coded solutions include a semi-circular tile that radiates out of the main door (but if HDB, may be deemed illegal as it protudes the main entrance into HDB's property. Another solution is again hard coded as shown in the attachment.

These are some considerations: 1. We cannot assume your neighbour's intentions. As often, some thought that any ba gua mirror is good for their home. 2. Or even some were mis-informed and thus place a ba gua mirror. Most likely they have thought that it is good to deflect sha qi or whateever or to scare away bad spirits. These are the two main reasons. 3. For those who are in the above category, unfortunately are just as bad as those that wants to suck wealth. 4. Unfortunately, usually, traditionally, what your neighbour does do invite ba gua wars: one side place a concave the other places a convex one. Thus this is again by tradition the way things were are even done today. 5. I don't think your home has any threats if any e.g. an altar or gods or deities facing your main door leading to this senario. (To threaten the neighbour or they did it just that they want to). 6. If one does open your main door often; then you may have to consider placing a partition at the main entrance area. Or close your main door when not in use. 7. Under the Holy Trinity of Luck: Heaven, Earth (Feng Shui) and Human (feelings or feel good factor) 7.1. Under Human luck, if you feel more comfortable with what you mentioned, go ahead. As it has a bearing more to do with feeling more at ease after you "implement" your decorative items - feel good factor is a powerful tool.

These are some considerations: 1. Thanks for your detailed sketch! 2. Under a major concept in symbolism; all bedroom doors must open inwards: to symbolise "qi flow" into the room. 3. This is why often, all main entrance doors must open inwards. 3.1 I do clearly remember that a few years ago, a Vietnam developer had forwarded layout plan(s) for a large estate with all main entrance door opening outwards. 3.2 Here, this is considered not auspicious. 4. Ideally, for a home, it is best also that the backdoor should also open inwards. But if there is no back door (just a grille gate then no issue if the grille gate opens outwards). 5. Not to worry, for convenience and practicality, many verandah doors often open outwards. Even many apartments with Personal Enclosed Space (PES) has doors that open outwards. 6. Looking at your drawing, it is natural to be concerned with the bedroom door directly facing the verandah door. Of course, if possible, this layout is not so good. However, for your case, it has already "happened". 7. Here, just remember the On-off or in computer terms 0 and 1 bit. When your bedroom door is opened, then if possible, the verandah door is closed and vice-versa. It is good that you have a row of cabinets where your "extra" study table are (facing the main door). 8. We can consider this as a "leak" but as I mentioned above, it is not a fatal error. Especially if you take note of above para 7.

Last year, I took some photos of the newly TOP Kovan Residences. This condo has lots for "eco cars" and even would you believe a lot soley for a family! This family is deplicted or described as a husband and wife with the husband hand in hand with a child; while wife is pushing a pram.

You can go to this link:-- http://forum.geomancy.net/reports/reports.htm There is a free report called "Is this apartment number auspicious? To check whether the specific Storey is auspicious or not.

Saw these signs at the playground at Bishan St 22. The two signs had faded. No, the signs does not refer to a lover giving his beloved a flower! Yes, it implies NO PICKING of (flowers)!

These are some considerations: 1. Often, what seems to be missing corners may be the reverse i.e. a protusion or protusions. 2. Frankly, verbal descriptions like I have missing cornders at SW and SE. 2.1. Even within this simple sentence; there are lots of unknows: 2.2. How large a missing corner, whether the missing corner straddles between one true cardinal point(s) and or 2.3. How large is the missing corner(s) 2.4. Is the missing corner narrow or fat or thin or what...??? 3. Seriously, so far, I believe no geomancer or let's say in a doctor's situation: 3.1. Your posting is like calling up a doctor to describe some medical situation. What is even more pressing is, what you wrote is only one way. No feedback or two-way communication. 3.2. Thus, right now, you are the only one who knows exactly what are the facts. 3.3. Based on the concept of "Communication Channel" many of us even if we have the time to read and re-read your statements can't even properly draw out your layout exactly. 4. Thus, frankly, such postings are furtile.

These are some considerations: 1. Some purchase a brand new altar (or made-to-measure) at the new apartment. 1.1. If so, one can even have the space at the new apartment ready. For example, if it is a made-to-measure altar position, it would depend on the contractor to finish "everything". (Majority of renovations). 1.2. The above is common sense. If you have an existing altar at the present apartment and transfering Kuan Yin on Vesak Day, this is fine or OK. 1.3. What one is concerned is, to distrub Kuan Yin, as some have to remove Kuan Yin and place her and her ancillary items somewhere. And move the altar to the new apartment. 1.4. And what is most concerned is where to place Kuan Yin tempoary at the existing apartment. Not like you should place (her) on the floor tiles or at the shoe cabinet table top. 2. Yes, moving her on Vesak Day is fine or OK. 2.1 Often, avoid moving her after 2.59pm as this is close to the Yang-Yin period or the daytime where Yang element is at it's lowest. 2.2 Frankly, it does not mean that Kuan Yin is out of bounds by your husband touching her. Thus, no harm for him to carry her. 2.3 If possible, for devout buddhists, best that you observe things like try to avoid eating meat as a respect e.g. especially the eve and the day of moving her. (This depends.) 2.4. In fact, no harm having "strong arms" holding her instead of IN CASE if the female could be more feeble. Worse still, if the woman is in period, then it is best not for her to carry Kuan Yin. Although Kuan Yin is always forgiving; it is considered taboo or bad luck for a woman in period to do such things. 3. Usually, prior to a move; words are uttered in mandarin : "My or Our apologies for disturbing you. As we will be bringing you to our new apartment. And state your new apartment's address e.g. Block 888 Clement Avenue 1 #12-888. 4. By tradition, if there is a flyover or bridge, you may have to warn her that you are "crossing a bridge". If no bridge, just flat ground ignore this Para 4. 5. On reaching below at the void deck of your new apartment block; tell Kuan Yin that you had arrived at the ground floor. And that you will be bringing her up to your new apartment at e.g. Block 888 Clement Avenue 1 #12-888. 6. Then the usual, place her and do up the altar and give offerings. 7. For a new joss stick receptacle (incense burner) , try to wrap e.g. even number of coins e.g. 2 x 10 cents in a red paper and place it right at the bottom of the urn. 7.1. If it is an existing Joss stick receptacle (incense burner), never empty it fully. Try to leave 1/2 joss ashes to the new apartment. Thus never go and totally wash clean this receptacle. You also wrote: How about the Heavenly God incense burner - do I hang it up before Vesak Day or on that day? 8. It is common for many to completely purchase a new one (incense burner). And if possible follow Para 7 above. 8.1. Common sense says that if you are moving in on Vesak Day or only bringing in the gods on Vesak Day, which is an auspicious day, then best not do do drilling on that day. 8.2. Of course, if the hook is already in place and it is merely to hang the incense burner, there is no issue. 9. Please note that there is no ONE size fits all situation. Again it depends. So long as one seems to give respect, one is not going against the WILL of heaven. Look at it this way, by the fact that you are willing to invite the various "gods"; they would already I believe be appreciative of the situation. 10. Furthermore, Kuan Yin being the Goddess of Mercy is suppose to be the most obliging and "forgiving". And there is no Encylopedia Britannica strictly for such CUSTOMS.

Yes, please watch your step! When the buying STOPS! the selling CAN!

1. This is how an Eight Pillars Ba Zi Report would look like with two extra pillars: "Yin PIllars for the dead". 2. Even today, many Geomancers take the short-cut and don't even analyse two extra "Yang Pillars" = House of Life and House of Conception. 3. Few if any would be aware that there is such a thing as a complete set of EIGHT Pillars of destiny.

Please call me a Feng Shui Master and nothing else, please!

In a Ba zi that has 6 pillars: Year, MM, DD, HH, House of Life & Conception; There are 6 Heavenly stems and 6 Earthly branches that interact with each other e.g. resulting in triple combinations etc...

1. Further to what I had mentioned: http://www.lovesigns.net/horoscope/ayear/a90-2010.htm 1.1 You will notice that even under a specific year, the Heavely stem and Earthly branch will interact. 1.2 Thus a person born between; 27 Jan 1990 to 14 Feb 1991 is considered as a Metal Horse 2. The above Chinese astrology is based purely on Year of birth. 3. For month analysis, it is a different cup-of-tea. As the lowest common denominator: The Five Elements concept is used, here. And Month Analyis is associated with Ba Zi or Four Pillars or Pillars of Destiny.

These are some considerations: 1. Usually, most people started off under the Chinese Zodiac (animal) signs = Personal traits. 2. A sample can be found under http://lovesigns.net 3. Ba zi can be as detalied as analysing 4 pillars or even 6 or even 8 pillars etc.... 4. Another cousin is the Tze Wei Dou Shu counterpart of Fortune Telling (incorporating or combining Astrology and Chinese Zodiac.) 5. Even under the Chinese zodiac signs, because of the combination of the heavenly stem and earthly branches: even if one is say a Rabbit; there are also different kinds of rabbit e.g. the Metal Rabbit, the Water Rabbit, the Wood Rabbit, the Fire Rabbit or even the Earth Rabbit. 5.1. Each having it's own traits. 6. In a Ba Zi analysis, the terms of threats, punishments etc... is the interaction of all the variables of the YYYY, MM, DD, HH and even House of Life and Conception. (For the dead, two more extra pillars). With various permutations, interactions, clashes of all the elements, today we call this "need the assistance of computing power" to do these tedious tasks. 6.1. Even the generic term Ba Zi sounds the same; but in the hands of many practitioners, it will greatly differ and the analysis can range from a below par to mid level to Rolls Royce type of analysis. 6.2. Even experts can't get Para 6 correct, far lessa lay person.
