20 years of fengshui period

[myfs_92790]

Dear Cecil,
Why do we have to consider the period every 20 years? Does it mean that the auspicious direction and sectors of a house will change after a period of 20 years? How about the eastern and western type of house? Will the auspicious direction for each type alters after 20 years?

Dear Anon,
1. Each of us have our own birth chart. And in the Chinese system this is known as our individual `Ba Zi' or `Pillars of Destiny' or also known as `Eight Characters'.
2. Here, do we change our birth chart, say every 20 years? Yes / No?
3. Our birthday (birth date) always remains.
4. Flying Star Feng Shui
5. Imagine, your home. Does it have a birth chart? Yes.
6. We can draw a parallel to this to Ba Zi. Each house is said to have it's own birth chart.
7. Often, the chief consensus is that a house birth chart will change only when there is a major renovation done to the house/home.
8. For example, the clue here is that if all houses MUST change their birth chart.. How come then? that there are houses that still retain say a Period 5 or 6 birth chart?
9. Here, if there is no major renovations done to a home; there is a strong implication that the house will remain e.g. a Period 5 or 6 home.
10. We should ponder over Para 8. However, often, if there is a change in qi, it has to do more with a larger area. For example, the entire estate rather than a single unit (eg. apartment).
11. A better or more realistic approach is; for example, since the last 3 years, for every on-site home audit, I have actually looked at two charts for the owners e.g. Period 7 and Period 8.
12. Here; what we look at is:
12.1 Is Period 7 better than Period 8 or vice versa?
12.2 The reason for this is that, if Period 7 is much better than Period 8, where possible the owners (or those who live in this house) AVOID any major renovations under Period 8.
12.3 Alternatively, if Period 8 is better, than, the advise would be for the owners (tenants) to do a `major' renovation under Period 8 to take advantage of this situation.
13. Caution: My main concern is that, the consumer should not be "taken-in" by anyone wanting to benefit from collection of more fees to do additional Feng Shui audit.
14. We should not allow some unscrupulous Feng Shui practitioners `con' us into paying more for their Feng Shui audit.
15. Going forward, imagine a Feng Shui practitioner will become "rich beyond Everest" if he gets additional fees from his past clients - to `re-evaluate' their homes.
16. For those who are taking or intend to take up a Feng Shui audit make sure that you REQUEST your Feng Shui practitioner to evaluate your current home with the two periods in-mind. To give you proper advise as mentioned under Para 12.2 and Para 12.3
17. I must emphasise that, we do not allow Feng Shui practitioners to benefit from our `fears' since many of us, can easily be taken in by such notions.
18. I have to put a stand here. Not all Feng Shui practitioners are out to make the extra (lucrative) money.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
