i wish to know what the five ghosts are and what they implicate. also, how is it figured each year where to put metal?? i do know this year it is to be in the north and as of February 4 moved to the southwest.

Dear April,
1. Five ghosts is the " direct translation " of the Mandarin word used in the Eight House Theory.
2. Under this website's, Eight House Theory, in order not to `give' the wrong impression, I had named it " Spook ".
3. This is because, the word " Five Ghosts " can be quite misleading. It does not necessary mean that there are literally FIVE ghosts that " spook " a person.
4. In the Eight House theory, some of the common terms used for inauspicious sectors are:
a. death sector
b. disaster sector
c. Irritation
d. Spook = " Five Ghosts ".
5. Therefore, when we look at the above, the two `more serious' concerns are the sectors with death/disaster.
6. While `irritation' and `spook (5 ghosts)' suggest some stumbling block or occassional "downs".

7. Many Feng Shui cures utilise " metal " element as a cure. This can be e.g. the use of color e.g. white or pastel shades, metal e.g. grandfather clock, wind chimes.
8. In Traditional Feng Shui, the Flying Star analysis is used to accurately determine the use of metal.
9. In the Flying Star analysis, it can be done i.e.
20 year flying star;
Yearly flying star;
Monthly flying star;
Daily flying star;
Hourly flying star;
In minutes flying star
10. So, what you had mentioned is based on Yearly flying star.
11. For those who are new to Flying Star, please take note of the following:-
11.1 The Yearly Flying Star is often written by book authors to show the base # flying star of a year.
YEARLY FLYING STAR ANALYSIS
It may not be complete because it only takes into account the base number for the year.
11.2 Under Para 11.1, the about is not personalised to a person's house birth chart because it does not consider:-
a. The period the house was built
b. The direction of the main entrance. For e.g. 15 degrees.
c. It does not analyse all three factors i.e. the base number with the moutain star # and water star #.
12. In Traditional Feng Shui, it is usually analysed in conjuction with the 20 Year Flying Star period.
Where, this YEAR number is `overlapped' with the 20 Year Flying Star period to check for imbalances and if there is an imbalance caused e.g. at North sector which requires say a cure of " Fire element " at the North.
But, in the Yearly Flying star, the recommendation, could instead be the use of metal, then, only after a Flying Star consultant has looked at both charts, he may advise, say using "metal" cure for that particular year at that sector instead of "fire" cure.
Hope the above helps.

Case Study: The Five (5) ghosts can also refer to the Five (5) spirits that some Chinese consider in each home:-

1. Spirit of the North,
2. Spirit of the South,
3. Spirit of the East,
4. Spirit of the West,
5. Spirit of the Centre of the home.
= Total of Five (5) good spirits.

Many coffee shops prepare and place five tea cups or in this case five identical mugs:-

Under this definition, these spirits are considered good spirits.

And not associated with real ghosts: where in real life, there can be a mixture of both good and BAD (evil) Ghosts! 
 

If one sees clearly, these spirits in my illustration each holds a heart . LOL

This is why we often see five type of fruits and often five oranges, five applies, five tea cups displayed to make these 5 spirits, happy!

Note: Above is simply an illustration without really associating with the exact magnetic compass readings! It's the symbolism that is important, here.

Count the number of oranges. 
Count the number of apples.

Did you count Five (5) for these countable fruits?

Case Study: This is another version of the Five "Ghosts"

In Chinese Mythology, there are Five (5) Emperors of the Mountains in China

The Five Mountain Emperors are:

1. Mount Song (Middle mountain)
2. Mount Tai (East)
3. Mount Hua (West)
4. Mount Heng 1 (North)
5. Mount Heng 2 (South)

In the past, temples all over ancient China worship one of these Emperors.

Offerings and incense are burned throughout the year in honour of these Five (5) emperors at temples dedicated to them.

Many coffeeshops make five mugs of drinks to the five spirits...

This Coffeeshop even go further as to provide; 1 cup of tea with milk, tea plain, Chinese tea, coffee white and lastly coffee black-:)

 

Perhaps, they intimately know which spirit prefers what.. LOL..

Hello,

The Five Ghosts represent metal, wood, water, fire and earth or if using spacial symbolism north, south, east, west, and center, or colors or the Five Beasts.

Master Cecil,

Especially for us living in HDB, we can’t really choose the layout of the bedrooms, living, toilets, etc.  most factors affecting us to move to a certain location could be due to children’s school, work, or nearby helpful facilities. Also, spending too much on renovation to 100% suit our Bazi is not possible.  As such, a lot of us have layouts that fall in the same “4 inauspicious” zones of our Bazi.  Especially bedroom as a place to rest and procreate, what will you recommend as cure if bedroom falls in the 五鬼 sector? Bazi reference taken from Geomancy.net own calculator. 
 

Best Regards,

Case Study: Every site even this development has it's the Good, the Bad and the Ugly Units

1. Remember, even if a geomancer says that this is a good development. However, a good unit also depends on where it is within the development:

2. Is your potential unit under the Good, the Bad or the Ugly?

3. Often if one is lucky, even if the unit is not so fantastic superficially. Some units are like an unpolished gem. While others unfortunately may be a hopeless rotten apple.

3.1. Just imagine, if the unit is like a 10 year old rundown 1,000 cc car. Even a good Feng Shui Master is unable to turn it into a good unit!  

 

THE KEY CONSIDERATION!

By the way, (above) this falls under Habit Number 11.

4. Under Habit 1, one possibility is by ranking one's bedroom type by stack/unit: 1st choice, 2nd choice etc... 

Reference: Habit 1 can be found under this link:-

 

Meet an "UGLY" Unit here: Period 8 SW1...

Extremely bad especially during years 2024, 2025 & 2026

In real life based on the bell curve, most homes fall in-between or the average. Only a small percentage of homes fall at the Apex or down-under the "Dumps".

BEWARE OF THIS FENG SHUI SCAM

Feng Shui suffers a bad reputation, today.

Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store. Their core business is not authentic Feng Shui.
But rather making big bucks by selling lots of useless commercial products in the name of Feng Shui.

Please give me a good reason not to buy such products. Here's one:

Okay, the above was written prior to the knowledge of COV-19. Here’s to another reason, why.

Many Feng Shui Masters and their shops are FAKES!

P.S. Frankly, I was just being extremely polite. Actually if one got the hint, as the British always say just throw the "bloody" thing away!

ASK! MUST I BUY FROM YOU?

This development also has Stacks/Units that needs to take care of health concerns or issues...

Extract from an article from the above link:-

Staying @ Sturdee Residences
Stacks #02, #03, #04 & #05?

Case Study: Period 8 NE2/NE3 Facing NE2 37.5 - 52.4 & NE3 52.5 - 67.4
[Take extra care of health issues from 2024 onwards.]

1. The tide has turned for worse for NE2/NE3 facing homes = Expect health issues.

2. This is because under Period 9, NE #8 weakens however #5 misfortune/sickness strengthens!

3. Expect health issues!

4. Good if bedrooms or living room / dining falls in the East and South.

Dedicated to their faith. Even if means that they are elderly and climbing high to clean, replenish and offerings.

This is the final result after his dedication:
