myfs_161834 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Master Cecil Lee, The Brownstone EC blocks are mostly up.....and I read your assessment that most stacks are facing the dreaded N1 or S1... :(( Is it all gloom or can be remedied dependant on the owner's bazi? Anyway, here is the layout of a typical 3bedroom unit at Blk 154 and hope you can give some general comments despite the above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, here is the layout of a typical 3bedroom unit at Blk 154 and hope you can give some general comments despite the above. These are some considerations: 1. My main concern is that the units do not fall between N1 and NW3, and likewise, not between S1 and SE3. 2. If an individual block, stack, or unit can be confirmed as belonging to a distinct Flying Star direction, such as N1 or S1, then the standard guidelines apply. 3. To determine whether a unit is in N1 or NW3, it is best to use a reliable compass, such as a solid brass one. 3.1. Alternatively, I checked the website one.map.sg. In the bottom right corner of their map, they reference “data.gov.sg,” which can serve as the default standard to confirm compass directions if the method in paragraph 3 does not give an accurate reading. 4. From your message, it appears you are quite certain that the blocks or stacks are aligned to N1 or S1. 4.1. As mentioned earlier, I need to visit each specific block in person to confirm the readings. A reading from one block cannot be assumed to apply to all others, as builders sometimes align each block slightly differently. 4.2. Such slight deviations cannot be detected by the naked eye. Therefore, even the approach in paragraph 3.1 must be applied carefully and individually, as noted in paragraph 4.1. 5. If a layout falls within N1 or S1, then concepts such as the “Maximizing Marks” method can be applied: http://www.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 24, 2016 Author Staff Share Posted September 24, 2016 1. In my opinion, a solid brass compass is low-tech but highly accurate. 2. The photo shows the solid brass compass with a high-quality protractor attached beneath it. The protractor allows measurements to be taken in precise one-degree increments. 3. This setup combines a compass with a protractor add-on. 4. I have used this setup for many years, and the protractor now shows a yellowish aging. It was originally clear white. 5. I will be using this especially at The Brownstone EC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfs_161834 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Master Cecil Lee, 1. As the site is still works in progress, can the facing be determined along Canberra Drive with compass app? 2. Based on the 3bedroom unit layout as above, which is the front of the unit? I am confused as to the entrance door or balcony with the windows of bedrooms are also on the same side as balcony. 3. We are in the West group. Will this mitigate the facing of the unit Thank you.

Will this mitigate the facing of the unit Thank you. 1. You may proceed if you wish. 2. However, my approach depends on the client’s specific block, stack, or unit, as readings must be taken for that exact location. In some cases, it is acceptable to take combined readings for Block 154 with 156. Similarly, Blocks 158 with 160, and Blocks 162 with 164 will each have their own paired readings. 2.1. I have explained the purpose of these readings. While you may choose to estimate readings from a remote location, this method is not acceptable for us as geomancers—especially for this development—where accurate, confirmed readings are essential. 2.2. On-site, close-up readings using a reliable compass are required, and multiple measurements will be taken. Examples include: 2.2.1. Standing inside the main door and looking outwards. 2.2.2. In the living room, looking out through the balcony. 2.2.3. From a bedroom, looking out of its windows. 2.3. Readings will also be taken directly below the specific block (see attached illustration). This involves systematic readings along both the X and Y axes of the block, in addition to readings taken inside the unit. 2.3.1. For example, to determine the compass readings for Block 156, stack 26: - In addition to interior readings, I would stand at the red-marked point “A” and take a reading toward “B,” and vice versa. - Additional readings might include standing at the blue-marked point “C” and taking a reading toward “D” and/or “E,” among others. 2.4. Such readings simply cannot be done remotely from a location away from the actual block. In Compass School practice, readings must ultimately be taken within the unit itself. 3. Please note that in many other developments this level of precision may not be necessary. Even if there is a margin of error of several degrees, it is often still possible to identify the unit’s correct Flying Star direction clearly.

However, my purpose is depending on a clients : block / stack /unit to take a reading for that specific one. Here, it is acceptable to take readings for combined Block 154 with 156. For those @ Blocks 158 with 160, then a separate reading is taken for this pair. Similarly, for pair Block 162 with 164 a separate reading. 2.1. I have mentioned the purpose of the reading. While standing at a remote area to figure out the reading is up to you. This method is unacceptable to us (geomancers) especially for this development as we are expected to do more to confirm .... 2.2 On-site and close-up and with a reliable compass, many readings will be taken. Such as:- 2.2.1 Readings within the actual unit itself e.g. standing inside the main door looking outwards. And a host of readings e.g. standing inside the living room looking outwards of the balcony; from bedroom looking out of the bedroom windows. 2.3. Below the specific block. (See simple attached sample illustration) By taking systematic readings along the X and Y axis of the block plus readings within the unit. 2.3.1 In this example: If I were to determine the compass readings especially of Block 156 stack 26: In addition to the interior unit readings; I would Standing at marking in RED "A" taking a reading towards "B" and vice versa. Other readings include standing at Blue coloured marking "C" to take a read towards "D" and/or "E" etc... 2.4. The above just cannot be done remotely away from the actual block. Fundamentally, as the term Compass School suggest, eventually, readings must be taken WITHIN the unit, also. 3. Please note that in may other developments; this is not necessary as often even if there is a larger margin of error even as far as several or more degrees wrong; it is a clear cut case of the unit falling under a specific Flying Star direction. Please see attachment. Outdoors, especially directly below the block, stack, or unit, compass readings can be taken from X to Y and vice versa, and/or from J to K, and/or from H to I, in either direction. Indoors, compass readings should also be taken, such as from the blue-marked points A to B in several locations. It is also recommended to take indoor readings from the green-marked points C to D, or vice versa. Readings taken in the walkway or passageway are optional. For those who prefer a traditional, old-style approach, readings can still be taken from the main door at the green-marked point C looking toward D.
