Dear Anon,
1. A small family picture can be placed on one's work top. Or hung on corridors within the house. In my opinion, this does not directly influence the Feng Shui of the home.
2. Under Pillars of Destiny, one would need to know one's element and strength. For example, weak or strong earth element. From here than one can derive one's favourable, unfavourable and wealth element.
3. The Five Element's concept is all about balance and more advanced situations requires the use of one or more elements.
4. For example, under the Flying Star Feng Shui, if locations have `metal element' e.g. a double 7 (two metals), it can be combined with the introduction of water element into the location.
5. Here, metal with water combination is a good combination.
6. This type of situation is commonly used by Feng Shui practitioners.
Another example is of a landed property. If there is a lamp post slicing into the window of a house; a common cure is:-
Wood element Threat
the tall thin lamp post (can be made of any material e.g. wood or metal) represents the wood element because it is tall and thin. Much like the trunk of a tree.
Water & Metal element
The popular concept here is to use a fish tank with goldfish to counter the above wood threat.
Under the Five elements concept, you will find that the two elements introduced will create a productive flow:-
Where it becomes:-
Metal -> Water -> Wood

7. Under Pillars of Destiny, it is not good enough to know one's Year of birth and associated element e.g. earth element. This analysis is lacking in detail. True Pillars of Destiny analysis is done only after: the Year, Month, Day, Time, House of Life, House of Conception pillars are analysed for harms, punishments, double, triple combinations.
Else if this is not done, one will always end up in a vicious cycle of not really knowing one's proper true element and strength.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Cecil,
I'm quite confused about your explanation below. Lamp post is considered wood.
And you wrote the threat is water. Whereas water produces wood (productive
flow). In this case, water will enhance wood, thus it will enhance the threat
too. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks in advance.

Dear Wasis,
1. The Five Elements Concept is all about balance. This is where many of us do not take advantage of it properly.
2. Cannot be blamed as many of us can only understand two combinations or two elements.
3. For example, in this case where there is a wood threat i.e. a lamp post. (Because, it is tall and thin is represented as a wood element).
4. Under the destructive cycle of Five Elements concept, yes, it is true that Metal (fishes) is used to destroy Wood threat.
5. Once this is done, wood remains weak.
To ACHIEVE A BALANCE, a third element is used here (under the productive cycle):-
where METAL -> WATER -> WOOD forms a combination flow in the productive cycle.
6. Do take note that once metal destroys wood, it is weaken. And a three cycle flow, helps to best balance this flow.
7. Secondly, water is often used because it is considered as a Ming Tang or bright Hall effect.
Alternatively, wood element threat can be neutralised with fire and earth element.
Perhaps, you can ponder over these statements and hopefully see the light:-
Element with best balances
Fire with Earth and Metal or
Fire with Wood and Water
Metal with Water and Wood or
Metal with Earth and Fire
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Wasis,
1. Earlier, we had seen how Wood threat can be neutralised.
1.1 It is similar in concept to all other elements.
For example, if there is a Fire threat:-
Two methods can be used: Do you want to neutralise the threat using the Productive or Destructive cycle approach?
1.2 Method 1: (Productive cycle method)
=============
Fire can be neutralised (balanced) by introducing Earth and Metal.
Where, fire (threat) is used to produce earth. Since there is abundance of earth, earth is used to produce metal.
Thus, this is a three element flow.
1.3 Method 2: (Destructive cycle approach)
=============
This is similar to your earlier worry that the second element introduced can help to increase the `threat'. But this is indeed a fallacy.
This is similiar to the earlier concept of the Wood threat.
Here, if Fire is the threat:-
One can say that we can introduce Water to Fire.
2. Here, under the destructive cycle:-
Water is used to destroy Fire. Once fire is weaken, a controlling or balancing element wood is introduced.
3. This is similar in concept to Metal is used to destroy Wood. Once wood is weakened, a balancing element water is introduced to create a productive flow.
4. Again, other elements also follow the above two examples. Either, the productive cycle or destructive cycle can be used to neutralise an element.
5. As mentioned earlier, you can check out the following:-
6. Water threat can be weaken by Earth. And metal is introduced to form a three cycle flow.
7. Similarly, Earth is weaken by Wood. And Fire element is introduced.
8. Under the above examples, the destructive cycle is first used. And a balancing element added to form a three cycle flow.
9. Alternatively, one can neutralise the threats using the productive cycle. By exausting the threat with a three cycle flow.
For example:-
10. If the threat is Water. We can exhaust water with wood and fire.
11. If the threat is Earth, we can exhaust it with metal and water.
Hope you find the above useful. The best balancing elements depends on whether one is using either the productive or destructive cycle to neutralise the threat.
12. It is crucial that we all understand properly the Five Elements concept. And if possible, take it to three or more elements flow.
The common use of just one neutralsing element can be `myopic' and does not fully utilise the Five Elements to one's advantage.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
