These are some considerations:- 1. You wrote: Is it true? 1.1 Yes, if you are strictly applying the Gua or Eight House; 1.2 It can be classified into: 1.3 The direction / Location significance / Status (good or bad) and even suitable for what purpose (if any). 2. Attached please find a sample illustration of a random Gua number and it's associations. 3. The rest of the questions are beyond this forum. 4. You also wrote: "Kindly advise asap as we are going to view this coming Sunday...." 4.1 It is good to remind ourselves that if we do have a time constraint; spare a thought for others. As they also have time constraints. Courtesy begets Courtesy especially incessant sms messages, one after another even till late in the evening without due regard to check if others are busy or not.

We humans each have a birthdate. Likewise, under Flying Star Feng Shui, one must also ascertain the "birthdate" of the house. On the first page of all HDB valuation report(s) would list down the date the lease started on a specific flat. Under Para 4) Details of Property: Tenure: 99 years wef from 1 Jun 2000. (This example)

Please take note that for this development, especially if one is considering a South facing e.g. Flying Star South 2 (S2) facing; some stacks in this development has it's kitchen at the inauspicious "Fire at Heaven's gate sector" i.e. NW. (And in some instances, major missing corners - if any). Specific examples will be released at a much later date so as not to disadvantage clients that are eyeing this development.

A put off of this development is it's close proximity to the Mount Vernon Columbarium/ Santuary. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, particularly: Stack #42 will be affected by the fork at the Bartley Road / Bartley viaduct area..

At Bartley Ridge Condo; the 3 bedroom(s) layout has the toilet bowl sharing the same wall as the kitchen stove. This is considered inauspicious in Feng Shui. For any apartments (flats) there is no possibility of ever shifting the toilet bowl. But still possible; yet, quite a hassle and it costs money (and what a waste) for a brand new kitchen. If possible, avoid purchasing a unit with such a configuration. See attached illustration.

These are some comments: 1. Majority of the stacks either face Flying Star Period 8: N3 @ 20 degrees or S3 @ 200 degrees. 2. N3 falls within 7.5 to 22.4 degrees. While S3 falls within 187.5 to 202.4 degrees. 2.1. Herein lies the danger that if somehow, all the blocks and stacks are wrong or different from the siteplan; and if the variance is just 2.4 degrees; 2.2. All the blocks and stacks may inadvertently fall within the "No man's land". As it may either be neither N3 or NE1 and/or S3 or SW1. If so, good luck to those staying within the development. 3. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, such "jagged" stacks would often result in the "porcupine" effect where the corners of various stacks may become sharp corners and become sha qi or poison arrow(s) towards each other. Please see one of the attachments. 4. Stack #44. This is not Feng Shui. But many Cantonese don't like "4" = die. Here stack #44 means "die-die". This often affects it's future resale value. (Not so much of Feng Shui.) 5. Personally, I don't really like the location: Mount Vernon Road. Perhaps, I am bias; but the memories of cremation (or human cremation that was in the not so distant past) still fresh in my mind. Whenever the words "Mount Vernon" is mentioned or surfaces in the site plan. Please note that this is a personal bias (only).

Tibetan mastiffs are now selling for a Million Dollars!

D'nest Block 133 Stack #20 is a "borderline" case. Hopefully it is still purely a SW2 facing direction. Else, if it is exactly at the border between SW2 and SW3; this is very inauspicious.

Siteplan from sales brochure

Roads in Feng Shui are like watercourses.. and this one ain't Pretty! = Sennett Residences

Sites with roads all round it (here, 3 sides) are considered malignant. Fortunes will wane widely in such a development..... a site that does not have good or "solid backing" ain't a good site... rather risky...

In general, based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; ideally a plot of land especially for a home should not be surrounded by roads. For this site: Sennett Residence; this plot is surrounded by three sides (roads): Upper Serangoon Road Pheng Geck Avenue and Wan Tho Avenue The above is a minus not a plus point for this development. And does not bode well for good overall Feng Shui. For those who are interested in buying a unit there should exercise greater caution.

Most homes in general fall between a hidden gem vs a rotten apple... To assess this; and in Feng Shui, a triage is required to find out the home's rating: Good, the bad, the average or the "ugly"...

It's FULLY confirmed, this is PURE BULL-SHIT

1. Frankly, The science of Feng Shui is like any other discipline. It requires a properhttp://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triageto be done. 2. Only after doing a proper Triage can one find out whether a home (or your home) is an unpolished gem or a true rotten apple or somewhere in between. 3. For example; if a home is like an unpolished gem; some enhancements can bring great (good) results. 3.1 Most homes are usually between these two: and after considering the science of Feng Shui; if one (via the Art of Feng Shui) properly enhance + neutralize bad Qi; often one can see good results. 4. However, or unfortunately; some homes are like a 10 year old 1,000cc car. No matter how much enhancements or Elastoplast (fix leaks) ; does not help. 5. But do be wary of seeking help: if any from geomancers that too often push or sell lots of commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. Often, even if a cure is needed; the items can easily be found at home or are not very expensive. 6. In conclusion, even if we need to consult a doctor: internal medicine doctors will also ask a person to go for tests like blood testing; ultrascan of kidneys; MRI's etc. Only after such tests are done; can a Dr. Then prescribe some form of remedy or preventive medicine. 7. Thus, please note that if you are trying to approach it from a Feng Shui point of view; if no triage; might as well throw a dice or flip a coin! 8. There are no short cuts nor a posting of a few sentences, to uncover the problem(s) or advice on a solution if any.

It's too late! NV Residences is nearing completion. And already cast in stone! Hopefully, many of the stacks fall exactly under Period 8 : N3 or S3! Anyway... if you don't stay there or not going to... no worries.... it does not affect YOU!

NV Residences consists of 8 Blocks. Majority of all the Eight Blocks are aligned in the same direction. However, based on the Sales brochure site map and the one available at streetdirectory.com; It seems that the facing directions of most of the stacks either face N3 or exactly 22 degrees or S3 or 202 degrees. Just a .4 of a degree would bring all the stacks closer to what is called a "zone of emptiness". Here, it would mean that majority of the stacks either face: "neither N3 or S3" but in a very inauspicious zone between these two Flying star directions. And vice versa for those stacks that "neither face S3 or SW1. In Flying Star Feng Shui, if the developer and their contractors were to built the development as neither "HERE nor THERE" = very inauspicious. Let's hope that it is a close call or close margin! As there are a total of 8 blocks; I would have to pay more attention when taking readings for clients at each individual block. Thus, there can be a possibility that a client staying in say Blk 91 would heave a sigh of relief while another at Blk 93 or 99 may be affected by this "zone of emptiness"

No point having nice facilities if: in Flying Star Feng Shui: one may fall into a "zone of emptiness". Let's hope not for all the residents x 8 blocks in this development NV Residences.

Left brain and Flying Star Feng Shui.

Feng Shui comprises two major schools: 1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui 2. Compass School Feng Shui Do you know that Shapes and Forms Feng Shui appeals more to those who are more of a Right Brain person. Under the Left and Right Brain Theory, those who are more of a right brain inclined person are best at spatial and better at expressive and creative tasks. And more likely to "pick" up easier on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. For example, a person who is more into the "arts" would be better off at studying History, Literature, Law, Commerce. And if enrolled in an ivy league school could go to Harvard. While a person who is more "mathematical inclined" would fit better with courses in Maths, Chemistry and Physics and more at home in MIT. Thus, those who feel right at home with Compass School of Feng Shui are usually more Left Brain inclined person.

The 3 Bedroom Verandah & similar layout plans This is the first time I had come across interior layout plans where the kitchen shares the living room balcony. Luckily, there is no interior waste disposal bin. Else, it may have to be located at the kitchen area which is near to the frontage of the apartment. I believe it also encourages home owners to hang or display their clothings for drying at the balcony or verandah. Which by right is considered a no-no for most condo developments. As it is considered that such anti-social behaviours may degrade or lower the value of that condo. Maybe this condo is exempt from it?

Q BAY RESIDENCES Q Bay residences consists of a total of 8 blocks. Blocks 1, 2, 4, 5 & 8 are either Period 8: N1 or S1 facing directions. While the rest of the three blocks: 3, 6 and 7 are Period 8: Either NE1 or SW1 facing directions.

Please refer to attachment. The street directory plan shows high-rise developments as opposed to landed property. But you can see the similarities with the earlier home you posted. Majority of the apartment blocks are parallel to each other: such as Blks 127, 128A/B/C/D with Blks 126, 109, 110, 171 and 172. While Nautilus@Punggol 169 A/B/C/D and 170 A/B/C's share a similar tilt to your earlier photo. And this small development is at a road junction. Thus, this is a simple example to show that it is not as uncommon as what you may think.

These are some considerations: 1. I did a search in this forum for a specific past posting (similar to the home you mentioned):- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=29112&new=?pagewanted=all 2. Frankly, the tilting of the home may either be intentional (Feng Shui) or unintentional:- 2.1. If intentional (in the name of Feng Shui) then, most likely the idea was to tilt it either to a home owner's suitable direction AND/OR facing and sitting a good direction. 2.2. One plus point is that this is a reasonably large piece of LAND and another advantage is that it is standalone e.g. a bungalow house. Thus, even if the house is tilted; and depending on Para 2.1 (if any); it can or may be acceptable. 3. Castle Gate Theory: Often, for a home at a road junction; some consult a geomancer to tilt the entrances. Here, we do not know for sure Castle Gate Theory has been used (as more study may be needed, here.) 3.1. Tilting a home can have some advantage; especially to avoid any poison arrow(s) in the form of a neighour's sharp or pointed roof or even lone lamp post. 3.2. With the tilting, this home now has four corners aimed outwards. Thus it (the home) itself becomes a "porcupine" spewing sha qi (poison arrows) towards all four sides of it's neighbour. Not exactly a bad thing for this home. But not as good for it's neighbour. 4. In general, in Feng Shui, we call this a non-conformist home. But (if done for the right "purpose" intentional or non-intentional may not be a bad thing altogether. 5. As mentioned, earlier under Para 2.2.; as this piece of land is pretty large; therefore, tilting a home on it's own has no major liabilities in terms of Feng Shui if the intention to "maximise" it's Feng Shui e.g. such as a "better" facing direction etc... 6. In the 2nd posting, even in Singapore, (but high rise context) one can see similar situation but abeit these are high rise as opposed to landed property. But still same thing. Thus, it is more common, than what you may think. (Especially high-rise situations).
