Dear Johnny, Firstly, in your ba zi there are 4 degree of conflict. 1) Clash - is the worst as it denotes 100% incompatibility between the two signs. 2) Harm - is the next bad conflict as it denotes that your signs creates friction but not really as bad as Clash. 3) Punishment - is where your signs itself usually contains an element that conficts the other sign. It is an indirect conflict, so has less impact. 4) Self Punishment - is where your sign'shidden elementconflicts with itself. How the clash/harm etc affects your sign depends on what you are relating the clash/harm and where it happens. For example, a clash occuring between your ba zi chart and that year denotes conflict between the year for you. So things not likely to go smoothly for you. For example, if you relate the clash to the relationaship, then a clash may denote conflicts or incompatibility. Quote: 1. May I know if this means that my spouse and close family will have problem? Whether or not that will have impact, it is best you have someone review it to explain it to you. As without all the details, I have actually no idea what your chart looks like as such not able to tell you if the self-punishment is good or not. In general, Day pillar represents self and spouse, while month pillar represents parents. So if you are looking at the relationship analysis, yes, the self-punishment may denote some slight incompatibilty. But again depends on whether the pillar favours you or not. For that, best you get someone to review it to confirm it. Quote: 2. As ?? is metal and is unfavourable to me. Does this self punishment cancel out the metal? Or does this self punishment on unfavourable element actually good to me? Or Self punishment simply is no good no matter what? In general, the self punishment does not cancel out your original element. As previously mentined, this clash/harm/punishment/self-punishment only comes into effect when you relate it to what you want to review. By itself, it does not mean anything in particular. Anyway, self-punishment is only just like imagine you want to do something but things does not go as you plan. Basically that is it. Often, it is not big enough to cause too much major problems, just minor things that will cause some delays or slowdown. Hope that helps.

FURTHER UPGRADING COMPLETED - 31 May 2008 (Saturday) Dear Users, We were able to further upgrade one of the new server fromDual Processor Quad Core Clovertown 2.0Ghz (8 x CPUs) to Dual Processor Quad Core Harpertown 2.66Ghz (8 x CPUs). Our website is now powered by 2 x Harpertown servers, so both server can give the same performance. - Dual Processor Quad Core Harpertown 2.66Ghz (8 x CPUs) - Dual Processor Quad Core Harpertown 2.66Ghz (8 x CPUs) Hope you enjoy a faster and smoother website access Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research UPRADING COMPLETED - 20 May2008 (Tuesday) Dear Users, As of 20 May 2008 (Tuesday), we have completed our upgrading all our servers to the new servers. There was no downtime during the uprading, as it was seemlessly transferred. So far as of 22 May 2008 (Thursday), everything seems to be working fine. We had also been fine tuning and tweaking the performance of the servers. Here are some of the notable improvements:- - Website with dynamic database contents should will now load significantly faster (ie forum page generation time has improved at least 5 times due to memory caching, http caching and latest CGI caching). - Report generation server also should see complex reports generated 2 times faster. Reducing the most complex report to half the time required. - Servers are at located at two different datacenter. Even if a datacenter can promise 100% uptime, from time to time, network issues may still occur. So having servers at different sites, reduces the chances of a single point of failure at any one time by any one single datacenter. - Given we have setup two servers with the ability for one server to run entire site, we are able to ensure that should one server be taken offline (for whatever reasons), the other server will be able to continue to keep the website up and running. So DNS failover setup was enabled for key sites and mail servers. - Data backup has always been our top priority, so all servers we had been using is always setup with RAID 1 Hardware mirroring (ie two harddisk mirroring the same data.) This will prevent again a single harddisk failure. In addition, we also have offsite, and NAS backup, realtime backup to the other RAID 1 server. So data will always be kept current. And/or we will be able to restore a few days older data in an event of a data corruption. - We now have separate Hardware Firewall at each server rather than a shared firewall. This makes upgrading individual servers easy in the future without having to upgrade both. Also, this eliminate again a single point failure due to Firewall. Hardware firewall is still better than any software firewall. So we do want to compromise security. - We took this opportunity to make sure all the software are patched to the latest version. By upgrading our server almost every year, we not only refresh new hardware, it allow us to update our software keeping everything fresh. So far everything is up and running properly. Should you encounter any problems, feel free to contact me at support@geomancy.net. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research PRE-UPGRADING NOTICE Dear Users, Thank you very much for your continued support. Our website has experienced tremendous growth over the years. We are thus upgrading our servers to ensure that there will be sufficient capacity and processing power to allow users to be able to enjoy a faster website. Our Dual Operton Servers (one of the better technology at that time) had served us very well. However, itisnow outdated compared to what's available, so it is time to upgrade tothelatesttechnology:- - Dual Processor Quad Core Harpertown 2.66Ghz (8 x CPUs) - Dual Processor Quad Core Clovertown 2.0Ghz (8 x CPUs) These servers effectively more than double/triple the overall processing power, memory,storage capacity, latest firewalland server bandwidthcompared to the existing server setup. To further improve ournetwork redundancy, we opted for two separate datacenter this time round. This is toprovide furthernetwork redundancyfrom a single-point failure in case one datacenter is down. This will be an improvement over the previous setup as both servers werefrom the same datacenter. Main websiteshas Failover DNS to ensure that should one server be down, the backup server will be on activated to keep the website up and runing. The servers are in the final stages of testing before we offically deploy them before the end of the month. We do not foresee any major disruption or downtime as we will seemlessly transfer the server from the old server to the new server. Only slight inconvience could be some duplicate mails received by users during the migration period as new server may re-process some of the old mail in server queue. Otherwise, everything should be rather seemless. Thank you for your continued support! Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Does this also apply with business facing direction? Why not Wood (East) facing direction as in my Best Working position in the Reference Material? My Best Working Position are 1. East 2. South. Generally, the executive summary tries to make sense of how the five element percentage changes each luck period. The goal is always to try to ensure you have exactly 20% of each of the five element to attain perfect harmony. So depending on what is your birth element, there are a few elements that will bring you luck. That was just an example of one of the things that could bring you luck. It usually try to shows the most important element. That is all. If say you are a weak wood, then water/wood elements and if the percentage is very lacking both elements directions will be good for you. So if wood is also your favourable element, then that is also another posibility. Like mentioned, the proposed direction or is just to guide you a guide or example. Given both wood and fire are both 0% then both are generally still favourable. Where in doubt, always use your original five element as a guide. As your original element denotes generally what you lack, while each 10-yearly summary only is good for that 10-year period. After which it will change again the next luck period. So you should only use it to fine tune what you lack. Anonymous wrote: Is Wood (East) ok also on the house or business facing direction? According to percentage above Wood is 0% also. Which is best, Fire or Wood? Given that Water/ Fire / Wood are your favourable elements. So you should be a Strong Metal person if I am not wrong. As a Strong Metal, you generally strong because you have either too much earth/metal. Thus either water/fire/wood would generally be good for you. How good each will depend on the five element percentage in your chart. If without your five element percentage, as long as you add water/fire/wood all should benefit you. However, if wood percentage is greater than 20% then, probably it won't bring you too much of a benefit compared to tlement that you have very little. So whichever of the five element you have least is your favourable. Anonymous wrote: Is Wood (East) ok also on the house or business facing direction? According to percentage above Wood is 0% also. Which is best, Fire or Wood? For this 10-year period, wood and fire percentage are 0% so either element is lacking for you. Thus, either one should be good. However, the one you lack most in your default ba zi percentage should still be the most important factor. As that is based on what you generally lack for your rest of your life.

Anonymous wrote: And if I have a business based on Fire element, what is the best facing direction for the building? South (Fire), my wealth sector (Prosperity)or East (Wood), the most favourable element? Actually, you can have your business as whatever element it is. It will just boost your favourable element. The direction of the place should not be based on what is your business element. But rather on the feng shui luck of the place based on the flying star chart and whether it is suitable to your eight house, followed by ba zi. The reason is because eight house even though it is only based on your YEAR of birth, has proven time and time to be useful. From our experience, those staying in house/office that is facing their death or disaster tends to have lots of problems. So this is ultimately more important than ba zi simply because you cannot correct it. At least for your ba zi, even if the house element isn't the most favourable, you can still enhance your ba zi from colours of the office, shapes/colours/career. So there are many areas to improve this suitability. Thus, it is a correctable problem. That is why it is more important to choose a suitable house based on your eight house (Prosperity sector or any of the 4 good sectors), followed by the best posible flying star house/office luck so that you can get the best luck from the house. For example, North-East/South-West for a West group person with the house/office in Period 8 is the best. While South/East facing for a East group person with the house/offfice in Period 8 is the best. Normally, we go by the above. Hope that helps.

Dear Anthony, Anthony L. wrote: Hi guys, I bought the standard bundle and I tried the PAID: House Hunting: Most Suitable & Auspicious House Facing Report. But the report is based on period 7 (1984 - 2003) while now we're in period 8. Are the differences between the periods significant? How do I view this in period 8 format? I look forward to any comments/answers. Thank you! Firstly, you need to know that the report will generate the best house direction depending on the house profile you created under. This means if you create a period 7 house profile, then it will generate a report that is period 7. If you create a profile under period 8, then it will generate a report that is for period 8. Your best house direction can be different depending on whether you are looking for a new house (houses built after 2004) or houses built in period 7 (1984-2003) or even houses built in earlier period such as period 6. So that is why this report does not default to Period 8. In fact, it will default to which house period you are looking for. Which may have different direction that will be considered best depending on the flying star direction and suitability. If you had wrongly, created a period 7 profile, then let me know.

Dear Cindy, Auspicious Date considers 3 factors:- 1. The Tung Shu impications of the Year vs Day. (such as clashes between the year and day or even a broken day). Such days are often inauspicious irregardless of whether you are suitable to the day or not. 2. Whether the day clashes with your ba zi or not. Major clashes are deemed as very inauspicious and Minor clashes are not so bad. 3. Last would be whether the element of the is suitable to your ba zi or not. What you have only looked at was only point 2 and 3. 17 Feb 2008 is bad because it is deemed a broken day due to the self-punishment. So that is why the day is bad. In an auspicious day analysis, the key tung shu influence are equally imporant or more important then whether or not the day fits you. An auspicious day is different from an favourable day in your ba zi. So even if the day is suitable for yourdaughter, it just isn't a good day under the Tung Shu. It has nothing to do with whether or not the day is suitable to your daughter. You use the auspicious dates report to find which day is good or bad for an important event. While you use your ba zi favourable day to determine which day has best luck for you. A day that has the best luck for you in your ba zi, need not necesary mean it is a good day for certain events. That is why when looking at events (ie move in date, weddings or key events), you refer to the auspicious dates. Whereas, if you just want to know which day is best luck for you, then you refer to your ba zi forecast. That would be the better date for you within the month etc. Hope that helps.

Then if you add wood, the wood destory your Earth, and strengthen the Fire. The goal is to bring your percentage in harmony. You must always boost up your favourable elements first, then add in elements which you lack (even if they fall in your unfavourable elements). To add your unfavourable elements first, before boosting up the elements that make you strong will actually make you weaker than you already are. Though, it is not wrong of your other master to say that Water+Wood is what you lack ispartially correct. However, as you are still a weak Metal, adding water/wood directly without your favourable elements will weaken your first before it brings you any benefit. So the more accurate form is they are good only with the supplement of Earth/Metal first.

Edited by Robert: Please be advised that I have just revised the yearly forecast to implement some of the newly ideas to make the forecast report clearer. You should be able to generate a new updated report that should clear the doubts you have. Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Thus, I should ignore the pair of chinese characters on the left of the calendar in your sample link as it says that Jan 2005 is a 'tiger' month. Pls. correct me as I was told that the lunar (chinese) calendar first month is 'tiger' month. So, if the calendar is referring toWestern Calendar, why is the Jan 2005 also a 'tiger' month? Unless, in 2005, the lunar January month is the same as the western january month. Technically, the right way is to view the calendar in the lunar calendar format, then there won't be any confusion. But to make it easy for users to view the days as per a full calendar year, that is why I choose to formatted the display list the dates as per a normal calendar 1 Jan to 31 Dec of that year. Because of that, it would be impossible to properly show the proper representation of the month. As some days within thewestern monthmay fall in different lunar months as it will span between two different calendar which makes it confusing. PS: I have already revised a new yearly forecast layout topresent what I originally want to show in a clearer manner and it should solve the previous lunar/western month conflict.I now separate the year/month from the daily analysis. In addition, I now show the Lunar dates within the daily calendar. This way users will know what is the lunar date it represent while retaining the normalSun-Satwestern calendar formatting.

Dear Shaunna, Shaunna Repa wrote: So, are you saying aHOUSE doesn't have a Gua # only the PERSON? I'm still somewhat confused. The information I read kept talking about the house's Gua # based on its sitting position but gave no further info on how to figure it out. Sorry, don't mean to be a pest. Thanks, Shaunna Generally, when it comes to the house, the best analysis is the Flying Star (Xuan Kong Feng Shui) chart. Determine your main door facing positions, and then you will be able to chart out a numerology chart that is based on the 9 numbers. Given it uses the 24 mountains, directions, it allows you to chart out many unique variations of luck for a house depending on what period the house is built. This also bases on the what is the facing or sitting position of the house. But to avoid confusion, as long as you know the facing compass degree of your house (ie 0 degree = North N2). You will be able to determine your flying star chart of the house which determines the earth luck of a house. Under the Eight House (ba zhai) concept. The method that is always used is determining the Gua of a person which tells you which are your 4 good and 4 bad directions. From that, it works out the 8 different types of chart and variations. This is a useful calculation as it helps a person determines whether a house is suitable or not. The Gua sitting / facing position will actually be the foundation that is used in conjuction with the working of the flying star. But it is not really used on it's own. So really, the flying star (xuan kong feng shui) is what you would normally use for the assessment of the house. Hope that helps.

Dear Erwin, Frankly, I have no time to really go through the details you provided. However, I can quickly tell you that any chart that has too many clashes/harm tends to denote lots of quarrels or difference between the two person. So the 1st person even though the element is oppositee, can still be resolved by having a binding element to help improve the relationship. However, the 2nd person that has multiple clashes between the chart tends to more likely quarrel between or have major conflicts. Especially if there are major clashes or a total of 4 or more multiple clashes. However, ultimately in any relationship, the human luck factor is also as important.

However Lillian Too said my self element is a strong fire. Can you help with my confusion? The birthchart that I showed Lillian is the same with no error,so am I a strong or weak self element? Frankly, our free chart is not crippled in anyway, so if it determines you as a weak fire, then you are a weak fire. There are a lot of factors to consider before one can determine accurately as a weak or strong element. I presume this is for a female, right? Then your five element breakdown would be:- 3 Water Strong 31 % 1 Wood Extremely Weak 2 % 5 Fire Weakest 26 % 0 Earth Weak 0 % 3 Metal Strongest 39 % Though, it may seem that you are a strong fire just because there is 5 fire, but bear in mind that it is weakest fire. So 5 Fire only makes up 26%. As a weak fire, this means what is favourable for a weak fire are wood (2%) + fire (26%) = 28% favourable elements. What makes a weak fire weak would be water which destory fire, and metal that destroy wood. So your unfavourable elementare water (31%) + metal (39%) = 70% unfavorurable elements. Earth element can exhaust your fire and also destroy water your unfavourable element. So it is a double edged element. So it will cancel itself out in the end. Given there is 70% unfavourable vs 28% favourable element, that is why we consider your element asa weak fire and not a strong fire.This is after a careful determination of any combinations / clashes / seasonal strength etc, broken down in exact percentage value. Our free report although does not show you all the details, will give you the exact same results as a paid analysis. This means, that we will consider you a weak fire rather than strong fire. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Dear Lemonade Chua, lemonade chua wrote: I am just curious whether does one can tell from my Za Zi whether this person is fated to be with me? A person is usually influenced by 3 forms of luck:- 1. Heaven Luck - Luck that you are born with. 2. Earth Luck - Luck from your home and surrounding. 3. Human Luck - Luck from your relationship and your own hard work. So in terms of any relationship the human luck factor plays the most important part. Although, it is possible to deduce relationship compatibilty in your ba zi and horoscope, the ultimate factor depends on your human luck. For any two relationship to last, it takes two person's effort to make it work. So putting effort to spend more time with each other and being able to tolerate each other's fault etc. All these will play an important part in making a relationship work. From your ba zi or horoscope, you can only tell whether the two are compatible or what might be common to help smoothen relationship. Such as the common colour scheme etc. The rest depends on both person's human luck effort to make a relationship a long lasting one. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Is having a TV really bad inbedroom The rational behind a TV being bad is only because in the past the TV screens are more of those reflective types. Which looks similiar to a mirror. So it is said that when you sleep, your spirit leaves your body. It may get a shock when it sees itself in the TV screen. So this is why a TV is typically deemed bad. However, what if your spirit is the type that wants to look good, it will see itself in the TV, then comb your hair to before flying off. So ultimately, this is a matter individual perception. Furthermore, now-a-days with the LCD TV, there isn't any reflection at all. Furthermore, TV is a form of entertainment that is a form of relaxation. Life is short, if you can't even enjoy the TV what's the point of living or working so hard. So really, it is not a concern at all. If you like watching TV, then having it will relax you, so go ahead.

Once you determine all that, then you can know which are the available positions your bed, table etc. In any case, an odd-shaped room would make it harder to place some furnitures. So sometimes one way is to create custom wardobe that can cover up the odd shapped.In case of a Hexagon, it s likely that the bed will have to be placed in the walls that are parrallel to each other. While the two more triangular shaped wall will be harder to place normal furnitures. So you may need some custom furnitures. Or one way is to build custom furnitures to make the room more squarish. In any case, you will need to review the room and then try to optimise the room as best as you can to suit your ba zi/eight house and the flying star of the house. Hope that helps.

To be frank, sectors element is fixed for everyone as that is based on the direction. So North is like Water element. This means everyone's north is Water element. So it is a little less personalised then the flying star sector which is based on the house's luck. So it is more important to fix anything that is more personalised first and anything that is general will have least priority. So the cures such as Metal in the sector is to balance the unbalanced sector. It won't have directly impact over the fact that it is an Earth sector. Shaunna Repa wrote: Also what is done when say the annual or monthly star is a 2 or 5, do I put more Metal to remedy it or does the natal fix take care of it as well? Any help would be appreciated. Shaunna The yearly / monthly stars will only impact that year or that month. The more important thing is to fix up the 20-year stars which is the main influence thataffects sectors of that house. At most, some may make some yearly revisions just to fix up any annual stars. However, no one will really make changes on a monthly basis. I mean feng shui is all about creating harmony, once you have balanced everything (ie choosing the right colour scheme for the room, the right furniture placement, the rightcures to fix up the rooms etc). It should not be a hassle, such as to worry about the daily/monthly changes. Then every day/month you move things around just to get maximise the daily/monthly luck. This is really a waste of your time and energy. You see a person has 3 forms of luck:- Heaven Luck - is luck that you are born with. Earth Luck - is luck from your home and surrounding. Human Luck - is luck from your relationship with others and your own hard work. So really, once you have balanced up the house, then you just need to put in the human luck effort to get it to work. And not worry about making minor changes every day/month. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

I read in order to get a full fengshui analysis I needed my 8 mansion as well as my house's along with the flying stars. I've searched everywhere but all I find is info on the person's 8 mansion. Would appreciate a reply. Thanks, Shaunna Flying Star determines the luck of the house based on what is the house facing direction. This assesses the house's feng shui earth luck influence. You can use the free flying star report in our member area:- URL: http://login.geomancy.net Eight Mansion / Eight House (Ba Chai Feng Shu), is to determine the 4 good and 4 bad directions of an individual. So you need this to determine if the house is suitable to the breadwinner or whether the room is suitable for you to use or not. Again, we do have this report which you can access from our member area or from this link:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-8h.htm Eight House is to determine whether the roomis suitable etc, while the Flying Star is to determine the luck of that room. So both tools are essential to a proper assessment of a house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Luna, Luna Geomancy wrote: So I read that changing names can have effects on a person's luck. And this applies to people with Chinese names. What about those with English names only? Unfortunately, the name stroke analysis was designed mainly for Chinese Names only. So there isn't analysis system that was converted for English Names. There are however, some analysis that bases on the assignining each english alphabet with a five element. So probably it is still possible to use the number characters in the name in some way. But given, this is not a traditional analysis method, so there is no way anyone can tell if they can replicate an similiar calculation system similiar to the Chinese Name analysis.

Dear Michelle, Michelle Kaleikini wrote: My front door faces to the north. When you enter my home, the stairwell is located to the right of the door (4 feet from the front door). Is this bad ? What can I do to fix it? If the stairs directly face the door, then that is inauspicious. This is because the steps is like sha qi, so if it faces the door, it is like a sha qi cutting the main door. However, from what you describe so far, since the stairs does not appear to face the main door directly, so it does not appear to be a major issue. The only issue to consider is the number of steps. ie Auspicious Steps are like:- 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20. So if the no of steps is in the auspicious no of steps, then it should not be an issue. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Jimmy, Jimmy Ng wrote: The binding elements to get the two parties to be compatible or reduce conflict is Earth. May I ask what would this Earth element refers to ? Five elements can refer to colours, shapes, direction, career and people around you. You can refer to this link for some guide about five element and relationships:- URL: http://talk.geomancy.net The most practicate for improving harmony between two persons would be choosing the right colour scheme / decrative patterns scheme for the room that both person's share. So in this case, this means more squarish shape design and or yellow/oranage colours. Only thing about Earth elements is that there may be a possibilities that it might activate the illness/misfortune stars under the flying star concept. So Bright Yellow should still be avoided. But light pale yellow is still ok. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research
