One has to take into perspective the type of material. That may cause sha qi. As mentioned earlier; instead of a tree but a large tall lamp post - made of some form of metal (iron + steel + or galvanised metal); then it may be a concern. In this photo illustration; sometimes, the corner of an opposite block can be considered as a sha qi. Thus, in your photo; a neighbour's sharp corner of that distance may pose as a sha qi to your neighbour's unit - if it is aimed towards their balcony or bedroom windows (if any). But again, from the photo; the sha qi circled in red does not seem to pose any issue to your unit. Furthermore, the one block but a unit lower that is parallel to (your neigbhour's) unit (to the left of the photo) has no issue as there are trees and leaves.

Thanks for the photo. These are some considerations: 1. The ultra conservative may consider both tree (trunks) as sha qi. 2. However, in my opinion; 2.1. It is difficult to see exactly the photo taken (parallel) to the actual tree LEVEL. As maybe it is an illusion, but I seem to see that the photo MAY be taken "top-down" or at a slanted angle. (Not sure, here). 2.2. Anyway, I feel that the two tree (trunks) are pretty far away. If the trees are on the same side of your unit; then I would say that it is a sha qi. 2.3. But in the photo; the trees are on the-other-side of the swimming pool. Assuming that your swimming pool is length = 50 metres and width = 25 metres. The good news is that the distance between the tree trunks towards your unit balcony is at least 25 metres + > 10 metres = 35 metres away. 3. Furthermore, such trees are not hardwood e.g. oak or teak. They are of softer material. And they are also not steel / galvanised street lamps. Thus considered "weak material". 4. I would say that I strongly believe that the two tree TRUNKS do not pose a threat to you. Even if the tree trunks are level to your unit. It would be different if there are windows on the opposite side of the block. And if so, that block's unit would then be affected by a sha qi. 5. Therefore, if the tree(s) are on your side of the building; then it can be considered as a sha qi.

One way of looking at it is through the industry one works in. For example, as water element is represented by such industries as Advertising firms or Telecommunications. Thus, it is good e.g. to work in an industry related to water = telecommunications. Here, one is in constant contact with water. You also wrote: "Also, since I already have a lot of Earth in my chart, would choosing a career related to the Earth element create too much imbalance for me?" In a recent reply, I mentioned that there is another specific or main purpose for the breakdown: Chinese name selection - after birth. It also includes another area e.g. health considerations e.g. too much earth = stomach, intestine, colon etc... issues. Under Ba zi; careers are related to one's personal element and strength. E.g. a Strong earth person. And here, there are careers associated with Wealth, Power and another category that belongs to neither here or there. And not what you visualise with too much earth...

What is a chairman's or chairperson's element? Or rather, what element does a chairperson belong to?

Hey! You even took away all my clothings. At least, leave me my underwear, please, Madam?

You wrote: Animal Activism What element correspond to animal rescue or activities such as: Rescuing stray animals from the streets Giving basic health care to them before sending them to the vet Washing them at the shelter and giving medication Assisting on neutering and spaying them (I have a health star, can I take advantage of this star by doing this activity?) What about other related activities such as: Promoting animal activism Collect signatures to implement punishment and laws against animal cruelty Managing an adoption website and promoting adoption through social network Collecting money for the shelter Environment Activism And also recycling activities such as: Collecting, separating recyclable material Promoting these activities through videos, etc. What about clean energies, what element would these belong to: Solar energy usage at home Wind turbines (I guess the blades can be taken as shar chi?) 1. These are some considerations: 2. In the past, I brought out several examples. One of the notable example is a CEO. 2.1 A CEO can be in-charge of many persons and departments: 2.2Human Resource (Earth) PR and Advertising (Water) Marketing and Sales (Fire) R & D(Wood) Accounting and Finance (Metal) 3. Thus, it is not wrong to say that a CEO is a metal element or an earth or a fire etc... 4. The key success factor to finding your TRUE ELEMENT is not to go thru line by line your job scope but rather try to figure out your CORE job function. 5.And using thisreferencechart:http://talk.geomancy.net 6.1 For example you wrote: Giving basic health care to them before sending them to the vet 6.2 I summarise the above as HEALING. and if you check the above chart it should be WATER! 7.1. Again: You wrote: Managing an adoption website and promoting adoption through social network 7.2. If you can understand the category known as Wood; you will correctly place the above into the wood element. 8. Going back to my example. Yes, if you go thru all your above job specifications, You have Wood, Metal, Water, Fire and Earth? HOW? You consider yourself a JACK of all trades and a master of none? So what element. 9. In the above CEO example. Although a CEO overlooks all the FIVE ELEMENTS: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth. 9.1 BUT in life his MAIN JOB FUNCTION is to GROW the company = Wood. 10. In today's multi-skilling environment, if you have more than 1 CORE job function. And later find that your job is a Wood-water etc... it may not be wrong. If one can further see which is the most important.. then can go streamline again. 11. Thus appreciate if you don't list out your so many lines of job specifications and expect poor me to go thru one by one for you. And furthermore, even if I do so; it does or may not achieve any purpose.

Part 1: These are some considerations: You wrote: "My chart is very unbalanced and if any of these activities belong to earth or metal, it would be great to know so I can do them more. water: 27%; wood: 54%; fire: 8%; earth: 10% metal: 0%" 1. If you had seen some of the sample ba zi reports. Where it can be as many as 90+ pages; perhaps, what you mentioned is like maybe you quote from "from birth" the inbalances. 2. Please note. The above is often a Chinese thing than for other races. 2.1. For example, some Chinese do consult a geomancer or may know how to select names based on tradition using the Big-5 (Traditional characters). 2.2. Here, the above chart is looked at and often a name is selected that is either the least affected by the inbalance or especially a plus point if it helps to improve it. For example a CHINESE Mandarin name with perhaps Metal element and fire element in it. And the name should not have wood element. 3. Please note, the above is the main way to use the above chart. Not that you have to go and chew metal or go and get a sun-burn (8%) in order to increase one's fire element. 4. In addition, please note that every 10 years of a person's life, the above elements may not be the same. Thus for example when born the person may have lots of wood. But at 24 years of age, may even only 4% wood. 5. Thus unfortunately, just relying on this static information alone... often... not FRUITFUL. 6. Do a search in past messages for sample ba zi reports.

These are some considerations: 1. If in doubt always avoid Blue colour in the kitchen - as a rough rule-of-thumb. 2. Since the colour is not blue....it is better than Para 1. Thus in a kitchen environment; lets put it this way : in general: one will get less issues with the colours + wood material you mentioned. Or rather, less probability of getting it badly wrong with your colours chosen.

Further to what I had mentioned; the attached illustration shows: a practical approach to Feng Shui, today. And highlighted in YELLOW are the type of work even in a DIY environment should be required. Note: the Flying Star chart in the illustration is about: a home: with variables of : Year of birth and Facing Directions. E.g. Period 8 N1 etc... Not the tortoise that happened to appear out of water and you copied from it to do a grid. This is a no-no. If this was the 1960s and you draw a chart that you did earlier... perhaps may impress a few people. But in the >2000's era... this is just too basic (Kindergarten type of FS).

Frankly, you have to do more than just placing the 9 numbers only. You have to place into each of the 9 grids: especially the #mountain & #water stars. For example in the pie chart version, see attachment. You can see that each sector has it's own Flying Star numbers. Thus unfortunately, the rudimentary numbers e.g. 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6, etc... serves no (much if any) viable useful purpose. And you wrote: If I use 2nd room (grid no. 9, south & fire sector) to become my small office n might sleep there if i work late, is it suitable? Based on my kua south is good for me but it fall under fire, so I a bit confuse Put it plain and simple: your Lo Shu grid is too basic. Therefore, how to answer your questions?

The Holy Trinity of Chinese Luck system consists of: 1. Heaven Luck = born with via individual ba zi 2. Earth Luck = Feng Shui of the home and office 3. Man or Human Luck = Personal relationship with family and friends especially bonding. Often, unscrupulous commercial product sellers will try to "blend" their commercial products into this area in the "Name of Feng Shui".

Meet my inconsiderate neighbour. This is not the first nor the last time that she parks like that.

This new release plot of land located at Bukit Batok Street 21 is surrounded by the EC, The Dew and Bukit View Primary School. There was a concern by a client who will be balloting in this site: The SkyPeak at Bukit Batok. His concern is the pavilion at Block 292D. As some of the highly ranked stacks (lower floors) at a distance can see the pavilion. From a practical approach to Feng Shui, one has to be practical, here:- Please note that more importantly, there is no pavilion directly in-front of the blocks 522 and 520. Unlike 530 and 528, If one is talking about facing the pavillion, nearly all stacks can if you consider what you mentioned face it: Stacks: 510, 508, 506, 504 and 232, 234, 228, 230, 216, 218, 204, 206. Thus, the most inauspicious stacks that are closest to the pavilion is the main concern, here. These stacks are especially 530 and 528. And other stacks are considered quite a distant away. And is often not a major issue. While in the second attachment: stacks 522, 520, 232, 234, 228 and 230 should be more concerned with it's frontage as shwon in the shaded RED - zone/area

Frankly, it is indeed very true that a sucker is born every minute....

In my opinion, this has more to do with beliefs and customs than Feng Shui. And also based on common sense and may affect the subsequent re-sale value - if any. For example, the Cantonese dialect group felt that "14" means Sure to Die.....

House with No "4" Dear Sir, Recently I looked one house and intended to buy. The interior of the house is good and we like the house. The price offered is reasonable.However, the most concern us is the house number is "No. 4". Most of the Chinese do not like "4" . From the fengsui point of view, is the house number so important ? Will it be difficult to sell or rent the house just because the house number is "4" ? Please kindly advise as soon as possible before we make the purcahse. Thank You very much! regards,

1. This has more to do with pure common sense 2. Here, how many of us during our childhood have open bookshelves just in-front of our study table? 3. This is to allow us to place our current semester books and reference materials like a dictionary and even some decorative items to brighten the work-area. 4. Contrast this with closed bookshelves. If so, whenever we need to access some of our "tools", we have to either open the doors or slide them which may be inconvenient as we may have to move something else to access them. 5. Thus, it is perfectly fine or OK to have open bookshelves at our work-interface = good ergonomics. 6. Therefore don't be too fearful of someone else telling us that all books in an open environment are like knives.

Under the Five Elements concept, this painting has two main elements: Metal and Water in it.
