I read somewhere that one way
of finding out if the new

to bring a baby and if the
baby cries it means the new

there any truth in this.
Thanks.

1. If you have the time you can read thru this article written by my colleague Robert Lee:-
http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=2&mid=23906&new=

MANY VARIATIONS IN THE SAME CONCEPTS

In almost all concepts, there are numerous variations in concepts and techiques by many different masters depending on which concepts or calendar format he/she has learnt from. So much so that even the same concept, you will find different variations such masters using different calendar system.

Even for masters with the same calendar system, they also each have some variation in how they interpret the analysis results. There are also varying degree of how accurate the analysis is done which also affects the results. This is why, for the same home, depending on all these factors, you can have 3 different masters with different interpretations. So unfortunately, this makes it even more confusing for a feng shui newbie.

It is unfortunate, but this is bound to happen. The reasons is because of the different concepts and different calendar system adopted.

So normally, it is best to with the master that you trust. It is unwise to seek bits of analysis from here and there and attempt to put it together yourself. As there are different variations, you won't know if they will work well together or not.

HOW DIFFERENT CALENDAR SYSTEM AFFECTS THE BA ZI CHART

Various variation of Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny or Four Pillars) Analysis

Generally, if you use a common calendar format for the entire ba zi chart, you cannot be faulted. This is because the analysis will be correct when you relate the different pillars in the same calendar format. Such as the year to the month pillar or the month to the day pillar.

However, it will be wrong if two different calendar format are mixed and you try to relate the pillars together.

A) Ba ZI WITH FULL CHINESE LUNAR CALENDAR

A ba zi chart done with Full Chinese Lunar Calendar will look like this:-

Chinese Lunar Calendar Ba Zi
Year: Ji-Chou (Ox) - (Lunar Calendar Year)
Month: Bing-Yin - (Lunar Calendar Month)
Day: Xin-Wei - (Lunar Calendar Day)

B) BA ZI WITH FULL SEASONAL CALENDAR (XIA/H'SIA)

A ba zi chart done with Full Seasonal Calendar will look like this:-

Seasonal Calendar Ba Zi
Year: Wu-Zi (Rat) - (Seasonal Calendar Year)
Month: Yi-Chou - (Seasonal Calendar Month)
Day: Xin-Wei - (Seasonal Calendar Day)

C) BA ZI WITH MIXED LUNAR & SEASONAL CALENDAR

A ba zi chart done with mixed Lunar & Seasonal Calendar will look like this:-

Mixed Lunar & Seasonal Ba Zi
Year: Ji-Chou (Ox) - (Lunar Calendar Year)
Month: Yi-Chou - (Seasonal Calendar Month)
Day: Xin-Wei - (Lunar Calendar Day)

Basically, both a) Ba zi with Full Chinese Lunar Calendar or b) Ba Zi with Full Seasonal Calendar are both technically correct as they both will use one consistent calendar format for the full chart. c) Ba Zi with mixed lunar & seasonal Calendar is however INCORRECT.

There are some websites which will generate the Ba zi with Mixed Lunar Calendar & Seasonal Calendar which is NOT correct. It is absolutely wrong to mixed the calendar format. This is like comparing an Apple to an Orange. How can you have a chart that is showing the day and year in Lunar calendar and month in Seasonal Calendar.

2.Yes, most likely one of your Geomancer(s) have misread your ba zi. Thisis very common, if you go thru the details of the above link and article.
3.The saying goes: Caveat Emptor! Let the buyer, beware!
4. Andyou are notgoing to be the last person to getinto such a situation:-
4.1. To minimize such things; always do due diligence when selecting a Geomancer.
4.2. Often, the best way is thru a reputable site or recommendations from friends.Nothing beats, this!

Dear all,
1.
Further to what I had
mentioned, I
have actually
written this note,
several
years back in this same
forum.
2. My uncle in Malaysia,
met
his wife on an aeroplane
flight.
3. At that time,
his wife to
be mother, or future
mother-in-law; somehow, want
to
invite a Japanese `god (or
devil)'
which was kept in a
`Japanese -
coffin' or I
consider this as a
"Japanese
coffin" god.
4.
What happened was that, for
the
first few years, it gave
his
mother-in-law good luck.
But
afterwards, took her life.
When she
died, it happened
that my
grandfather (mother
side) stayed at
the same house
(for the funeral).
5. What happened next, was
that after the funeral, this
devil `followed' my
grandfather
home to Johor
Bahru, Malaysia. At
that time,
he had unexplained
illnesses
that the doctor could not
detect.
6. Later on, after
we
discovered, that there was
something living in his Johor
bungalow, we sealed up the
house
and try to catch this
spirit. It hid
in things like
Chinese vases. And
these had
to be smashed, to bring
this
spirit out of hiding.
Eventually, it was captured
and
thrown into the sea.
After, this, my
grandfather
recovered (suddenly as
it had
appeared and disappeared).
7. Thus, there are situations
also, where the wrong use of
a
metallic windchime may
instead
invite such guests
into the home.
8. This is why, a large tree
(tree trunk) especially at NE
sector or if the landed
property
is at the NE, may
perhaps, be said
to harbour,
or can harbour them.

Cecil

Dear Lalita,

1. Never hang a convex mirror and/or a hexagram Ba-gua inside the home. It is considered very inauspicious.

2. Since you have not or may not intend to do a Feng Shui audit, it is still best to leave the current situation alone. In my opinion, as far as I can understand, so long as the staircase has a turning and not a straight staircase, this is considered acceptable -- not perfect, thou.

Dear master lee,
This is a
query
to your

my

built
flat which is currently
empty,
so
when I get my keys
to my place
on
fri,as there is
no stove, should
I
leave out
the items that I have
to
place
on the stove? What are the
5
types of fruits for?

1. To be completely candid, such items do not possess any "magical" attributes.

2. In recent years, a significant number of these products have become purely commercial ventures... Somehow, many individuals appear to be swayed by marketing tactics into purchasing these items.

3. To be truthful, these commercial goods are prevalent because they can be produced inexpensively and sold at a high price. Furthermore, many of these items do not guarantee wealth for their owners! Once sold, caveat emptor! "Let the buyer beware!"

4. Consider it this way: during the era of my parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents, many of these products were never created... only recently, particularly from the early 1980s onward, have such items been produced under the guise of "Feng Shui."

5. Honestly, observe all the wealthy individuals, both Chinese and non-Chinese. They possess decorative pieces, but these are simply ornamental items, not associated with "Feng Shui"... this and that!

6. If you watch many of the Chinese period costume dramas from earlier times, the martial arts masters do not utilize items like a pi xiu!

7. The affluent continue to accumulate wealth because they receive sound advice on acquiring properties with "excellent Feng Shui." Excellent Feng Shui does not entail placing all those "silly" objects throughout the home! Goodness gracious!

8. I feel sympathy for many Singaporeans residing in cramped Housing Board apartments. Just a few steps and one reaches the end of the living room/dining area. Yet, these homes are cluttered with a "laughing Buddha," fish tanks, numerous altars, and all kinds of "nonsense" in the name of fake Feng Shui products! Why, despite having all these items, do these individuals not become wealthy?

9. Roll-over credit
It is unfortunate that some individuals are already burdened with significant credit card debt... and yet... some of these sellers continue to urge these unfortunate souls to purchase these decorative commercial items!

10. Rather than alleviating their debt, these individuals hope that "money literally" falls from the sky after placing items like the them.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

P.S. I was astonished to discover that when we buy a 3M floor mat priced at only Singapore $29.90, it includes a TWO-year warranty! Why not request the seller of high-priced items, such as those costing S$688 or more, to provide you with a guarantee card? For instance, within 14 days of purchase, one might expect money to fall from the sky!

Human Luck factor: Unfortunately, some naive individuals tend to rely on hope; for some of these people, perhaps, an indirect advantage of acquiring such items is the hope they provide... This is the sole justification or rationale for purchasing such commercial products! Honestly, this site would be quite prosperous if we embraced the misguided ideals of marketing such commercial goods! However, it contradicts our principles to do so!

10. Rather than alleviating their debt, these individuals hope that "money literally" falls from the sky after placing items like the them.

This is a situation where there are only five (5) stacks that one is interested in, but it is not clear which of these five is better.

In such a situation, the breadwinner’s best eight sectors are compared for each stack, and a weighting and analysis are done for each sector.

If the result for a sector is good, it is shown in blue. If a sector does not match the breadwinner’s, it is shown in red and considered as “Not a major issue” or “Can be disarmed.”

an Blocks 128 further inwards.
Causing Block 126's stack to
become a sha qi or poison
arrow (sharp corner) of stack
#06 aimed towards stack #03 of

the architect could have
perhaps, look at other layout
