[profession elements]

Hello, Robert.

I would like to know what you would make of

wedding or eventplanning

relocation specialist helping with international adaptation to a country

military policy writing

location scouting for movies

to be in terms of elements. I want to choose the closest to metal and earth as possible.

Thank you.

[career crossroads]

Dear Cecil,

I have been jobless for over a year and am desperate. I'm a yang wood monkey born on a monkey day and with fire and metal as my weakest elements. I have been following your last discussion and am wondering if I should be paying more attention to my bazi chart. I hope you can give me the guidance I need.

You always say that one can take advatnage of one;s wealth element if one is yang and has dominated their lucky elements. how do i knowwhen I have incorporated sufficient beneficial things to use my wealth element?. I always said i would open a restaurant when /if i was rich-that's earth, right?

My professional hisrtoy is very complex: I did a Bachelors in Mass communications, then a masters in INternational relations, then worked in marketing, but got laid off a few years ago so lost faith in that field and chose to go into a more creative branch. I recently graduated from interior design but haven;t had any luck finding cleints or deciding which area of design i should go into or specialize in. Do you have any idea? Should i be concentrating on the commercial, residential or event decoration? I am having a hard time deciding what to do becasue I feel like I can do so many things, but don;t know which would give me success. In fact, i've also been talking to a friend abt starting a relocation services business for foreigners(help them find housing, school, advice them on travel, etc) but am not sure about what element that would be.

PLus, I have always dreamt of tv production-but thought that since it was a wood career, I should stay clear of it. I even had an interview in Naval intelligence. I would hate to get it and then find that becasue it's water, I'd be going agaisnt my own interest! So, in your opinion, should I go for a profession I like, find challenging or am good at?

Would appreciate your kind help.

Thanks.

[Location of Conflict Question]

Dear mr lee:

when u write taht" Location in Conflict is East.
- Avoid having renovations done opposite the location in conlict." IS that like saying the west??

[Bottle Gourd – Ideal Size???]

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
in this discussion, you mentioned that the general cure for a bad earth
star is metal. I understand why, however, according to the destructive
cycle, wouldn't wood be a more efficient cure for earth?
Thanks for your answer.
Lia

[Regarding 6-coins in a jar of salt water]

In the last email, u wrote that ba zi element is
not enough, but one has to take into account the time period. Does that
mean that every year one should reaudit the house and see if there are ne=w
problems to solve? ie. how long will the salt in the glass work for the
boy who was sick?

[double 7s]

Hi, cecil. I was reading as you recommended, the email about the sterling condo. There's talk of the double 7s and thehy are good. What is this exactly?
You also mention the lift well being a negative thing if close tot the door. Why is that?
Thanks

[roof and other questions]

Hi, Cecil. Thank you for your answer. I believe, though, that the way I
described the screen was ambiguous. I meant hat the vertices of the panels
of the screen were pointing at the dingin table where we sit. Do you see
what I mean?
\/\/\/\/\screen
____
|____|table
I also wanted to ask you: sometimes, blue is said to be wood and sometimes,
water. Sometimes,brown is said to be wood and toerhs earth. Which is it?
I read that water fourntians in the center of a home can be harmful becasue
it drains away qi. SI this true?
My final question: There's a building in Hong kong that sits on a hill and
has a big square hole through the center of it. It looks like this from the
front ________
| _ |
| |_| |
|hole|
|_______|
they said it was for qi to pass through it better. is this right?
Sorry for being so curious.

Most importantly, roofs should be symmetrical. Or both `left and right'
sides should be balanced.
Equally important is the shape. The best shape is still `an Up' outline
e.g.:-

^
/ \
/ \
| |

If the front of the house looks like the above with pointed arrow facing
other houses, much the better to this occupant.
Many people are more concern with their homes than others. And, although it
may not be favourable to the neighour (if their main door happends to be
directly facing this `arrow' sha qi.
Flat roofs are usually not preferred for homes especially in the equator. As
hot air cannot rise up adequately. And if there is no insulation, direct
sunlight can heat up the roof.
Many of the homes built in the Far East, has a Ba Gua shaped balcony or
family room area especially at the South (fire sector). And some of these
have their toilets at the North (water) position. An example is `The Meyer
Place' condo. Do a search in the forum for more details of this development.

speaking of sha, I have a
large screen against the wall
that has the leaf edges
pointing directly to the
dining table. is this a
poison arrow?

Usually, leaf edges are not a real threat. The real threat is usually thru
the tree trunk (not covered with leaves). Have to really see it before, I
can fully comment on it. But in doubt, no harm to screen it out.

Also, i am curious to know if
one should consider
form-ying/yang-color-shape-loc
ation in that order when
classifying a room or thing.
And if it's a person one is
considering, should one base
an analysis on their birthday
element or their year element,
since these may be destructive
between them. ie. the birth
element is yang fire but the
year is metal.

It is best to use Pillars of Destiny (Ba Zi) in such a situation. Especially
if there are two or more persons e.g. a couple sleeping in the bedroom.
Professional level Pillars of Destiny does not only take into consideration
the Year of birth but much more than that to determine your actual element
and strength. Only after finding it out and looking at the `binding' element
of both e.g. husband and wife can then proper elements e.g. colour scheme be
taken into consideration.

I was trying to find the
center of the apartment I live
in, but it's very irregular
and disjointed. What do i do?
can i draw a large rectangle
over the entire plan and do
the diagonals that way?

We offer free service on this. And if you have a layout plan, can either,
fax to us, e-mail us a scanned image. Or simply attach a scanned image to
this forum (message).
And I can help to determine the centrepoint for you.

Lastly, i want to lose weight.
is there a fix for that?

Frankly, proper and sensible food intake. And most important - will power
and determination -> to gradually loose weight over a period.
Many times, most of us, try to do it at `one go' and later put on more
weight instead. Many quick `fix' programmes may not be appropriate as some
let you lose `water content' rather than sensible weight. Sometimes, too
drastic a program may lead to health problems or lack of minerals/vitamins.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
