[what does 'imprisonment water star formation' mean]

Dear Cecil or Robert:

Every sector for the 2005 flying star chart (SE3/P7) for my business has this phrase "imprisonment water star formation". This is the first time I see this and have no clue what this means. I've searched in this forum but cannot find anything. Would you please explain?

Thank you very much for your advice,

[how to activate ws 9]

Dear Cecil:

Thank you very much for your quick response.

My understanding is to activate a water star, I can place a water feature like a water fountainat that location (that has the water star). For example, my front door has ms6, ws 8. To activate ws 8,I am placing a water fountain outside of the front door. However, if I have a ws 9, I cannot place a water fountain to activate ws 9 because it will drown my future prosperity. So my question is how do I activate ws9 if I cannot place a water feature at that location which has ws9? Should I place a big tree instead?

Thank you very much for your advice.

Dear Hoa Luong,

In general, under this current

period: Period 9, #9 is the

future prosperity star number.

Thus, wealth derived from this

star #9 is NOT current but is

known as future wealth luck.

It is imperative that each #

should not be looked at in

isolation!

For example:-

EXAMPLE 1:-

If Mountain star is

#4; while water star is

#9, this is a good combination

as Mountain star #4 (wood)

supports water star #9 (fire)

i.e. wood fuels fire. Thus,

this sector is considered to

have some future wealth luck,

here.

EXAMPLE 2:-

If, however the mountain star

is #5 (bad earth) or #2 (bad

earth), this is no good as

Water star #9 fuels earth and

further inflame #5 or #2

making or increasing

misfortune/sickness within

this sector. Here, usually

metal cure is required to

neutralise this sector.

Therefore, the clue here is

that even if a sector is known

as WS, it does not literally

mean that water would drown #9

from the first example

(example 1) above.

Again, a firm foundation of

the Five element concept is

required to fully grasp the

concept.

Warmest Regards,Cecil

[SW/P7 sector in 2005, stars 1 and 4]

Dear Robert:

Thank you very much for the quick response.

Regarding the metal cure, if I already hang a 6-coins tied with red string in the SW sector on thefirst floor, do I still need to hang another 6-coins with red string in the SW sector on the second floor (where my master bedroom is)?

Thank you again for your advice,

Dear Hoa Luong,

Star 4 is a Lawsuit star by

default. However, in period 8,

it isn't as bad as it should

be thus, it is considered an

average star. So when star 4

and 1 appear together it is

still considered auspicious.

Just like Star 7 which is a

Robbery star by default. Under

period 7, star 7 is an

auspicious star due to the 7

period effect, causing 7 star

for mountain or water star to

be the current water/mountain

star.

However, star 4 itself is

still a lawsuit star which

still needs to be further

balanced by Metal, given star

4 is weak star by default. So

under 4 and 1 combination,

having some Metal influence

will create Metal -
Water

-
Wood flow combination.

Making that sector more

auspicious.

Fire will not be as effective,

given star 4 is weak wood.

Hope that helps.



Warmest RegardsRobert

[NE sector for SW2/P7 in 2005]

Dear Cecil or Robert:

My house is SW2/P7. The 2005 flying star formy NE sector(living room)has ms7, ws7, bs1, yearly 7.

Because of the double 7, I'm placing a cascading water fountain between the door andthe window. Is this OK?

The proposed solution for bs1 vs. yearly 7 is to make use of fire to control 7. Since I already have a big fireplace in this sector. Is this enough fire to control 7?

Thank you for the advice,

[forecast 2005]

Dear Robert:

I was reading your forecast for 2005. I was born in 1956, a fire monkey, but I'm a strong water by birth element. Am I considered a strong water monkey? If I'm still considered a fire monkey, then how do I know if I'm a weak fire or strong fire monkey?

Thanks a lot,

[bathroom next to front door?]

Dear Cecil:

1) If the wall next to the front door extends to the second floor, and this same wall becomes the wall for the bathroom on the second floor, then, is this second-floor bathroom consideredNEXT to the front door?

2) If the aboveis true (meaning the upstairs bathroom considered next to the front door), then it will "kill" a good fengshui house even if the house has excellent facing and excellent front door direction. Is this a true statement?

Thank you very much as always,

[what major renovations qualify for period change?]

Dear Cecil:

I'm trying to determine whether my convenient store's period should be changed.

It was built in period 6, but in 1998,I had the insidecompeletly renovated. The cash register location was in the center, now in the SE corner of the building. The floor was linoleum, now tiled.Thosewere the biggest changes inside. Everything else was like repainting the walls, putting up new shelves etc... However, the outside wallsand all the glass windows of the building stayed the same, and the front door is still in the same location in relation to the center of the building. But the old door which was wood and painted red was replace with more modern aluminum door.

Even the outside walls and windows and main door location were not changed, would thistype ofrenovation qualify for a changefrom period 6 to period 7?

Respectfully yours,

Hoa

[Auspicious steps in a split level home?]

Dear Cecil:

I was reading your document on Auspicious steps. Does this apply to the steps in a split level home also? This home I'm looking to buy is a split level home. The main floor contains the living room, dining room and kitchen. From the main floor living room, you walk 6 steps up to the bedrooms. Also from the main floor living room, you walk 6 steps down to the family room. From the family room, you walk another 6 steps down to the basement. There are total 18steps, nolandings. Is this considered auspicious or inauspicious? Also, if it's inauspicious stairs, whatwould the cure be?

Thank you very much,

[question about basement floor]

Hi Cecil:

I'm house hunting and this houseI found seems tobe aperfect house with thefront door, the master bedroom,and other parts of the house in the right direction according to the house hunting report.

One thing that I'm not sure about is that the basementfloor is made of wood instead of concrete.The reason forhaving awood flooris that there might be a problem with bentonite (that causes the soil to expand due to excess moisture in the soil), so if the basement floor is concrete then it will crack when the soil expands. So the builder builds the basement floor out of wood 18 inches above the soil with ventilation underneath to get the moisture and radon out. The basement foundation walls are stillmade out of concrete. Would this still qualify for a solid stable foundation for the house even though the basement floor is made out of wood?

Thankyou very much,

[Questions regarding front door and center of house]

Dear Cecil or Robert:

I'm house hunting. The period-7 house I saw today has the front door located in the SW1sector which is my best direction according to the house hunting report (moutain 7, water 7, base 4). It has two levels.

1) The center of the house on the main floor has clear space. But right below it on the lower level is the utility room (where the hot water tank, furnace etc... are located). Is this good or bad?

2) Right below the front door is the bathroom (on the lower level). I know the bathroom above the front door is bad, but what about below the front door? Is that bad also?

3) The master bedroom is in the East sector which is my death direction according to the 8 house. If I sleep with my head facing the SW direction, would it be OK?

4) The remaing bedrooms are inthe S and SE sectorswhich are my spook and irritation directions respectively, so they are not good either.

With all of the above, should I consider buying the house even ifit has the front door facing my best direction?

Thank you very much as always,

[house on culdesac]

Hi Cecil,

I've searched for house on culdesac on this website, and you said depending on where the house sits on the culdesac, it can be bad or good. I'm looking at this house on the culdesac. Everything else looks good, except that it is located on the culdesac. Attached is the drawing where it is located on the culdesac. Is this a bad location?

[what is the solution for fire cure?]

Dear Cecil,
According to BOTH the "20year vs. yearly star" and "mountain vs. water star" five element analysis reports for my business (the west sector), the solution for both is to use "FIRE TO DESTROY METAL". I understand the metal cure solution is to tie 6 coins with red string. WHAT is the solution for FIRE cure?

[what is the water solution?]

Dear Cecil,
With regards to the Center sector of my business, the 20 year vs. yearly star analysis suggests to "use metal to exhaust earth" and the mountain vs. water star analysis recommends to "use WATER to exhaust metal".
1) I know what the metal cure is, but what is the solution for a water cure?
2) Do the above solutions cancel each other out to make the sector neutral?
Thank you so much,

[need advice on balancing my elements]

Dear Cecil,
First, I'm a strong water. According to the balance of my element charts, I have 7 water (70%), 3 metal (18%), 1 wood (8%), 1 earth (4%), 0 fire (0%). Fire is my wealth element and I have none of it. This is my plan to balance my elements: (in my bedroom since I spend most of my time in the bedroom when I come home from work)
1) paint the wall in my bedroom a light yellow (earth)
2) my comforter is a crimson maroon red (dark red) with gold flowers (fire)
3) I just bought new sheets and pillows for my bed. They are either maroon red (fire) or green (wood)
So what do you think? Will this plan help me balance my elements?
Thank you as always,
Hoa
