Dear Lim Kai Jie, lim kai jie wrote: I am a strong water element andI wish to rear arowanas in a 6ft x 2ft x 2ft tank (maybe more in the future). And that is alot of water for a strong water element rite? Yes, that is correct. lim kai jie wrote: Is there any way to reduce the water element as i fear i might "drowned" in so much water? ie; by changing the material of the tank, stand or adding anything. As a Strong Water, that means wood, fire, earth elements are generally good for you. So adding plants (wood), lights (fire), and stone/rock feature (earth), can help to balance the excess water element. Hope that helps.

Dear Vanessa Pruett, Vanessa Pruett wrote: My fiancee and I have moved in together and we are trying to Feng Shui our home correctly using the eight house method. The problem is this...He is a Kua 2, I am a Kua 4 and my daughter is a Kua 5 female. What do we do? How do we find a common ground so that we can find balance and harmony for everyone? The Eight House is used for suitability analysis. Since each person have different suitability.So what we normally do is follow these steps:- 1. For breadwinner (usually your husband), as long as the house faces his good direction, the house is deemed suitable for him. Also, because he is the breadwinner, the rest of the family will also indirectly benefit from it. 2. The bedrooms should fall in the suitable direction for each of the other family member. ie yourself and daughter should have a room that is suitable for them to benefit from using the room. 3. Then choose sleeping/study/work positonin the better directions within the room itself. So if you based on the above principles, is is not difficult to apply the above principles for each family member. Hope that helps.

Dear Chew Khui Suan, Chew Khiu Suan wrote: I like to find out when i renovate my office in the current period, it becomes period 8, right? Not really. If the renovations are not major enough, it may not be enough to fly over to period 8. Only renovations like hacking down of walls etc that changes the Qi flow within the house are often considered major. The rest may not. However, in most cases, you can still do a symbolic fly over by repainting the entire house, and having at least 3 major celebrations to attempt to fly it over. This will take a longer period of time for the Qi to fly over (ie 1 year or more). Chew Khiu Suan wrote: the thing i am concerned is that the building that house my office is period 7, and it is only my office that get renovated, so should i use the period 7 or 8 chart? Firstly, determine if your renovations are major, if major then it will likely fly toperiod 8. Else, if not sure, you can also do a symbolic fly over to attempt to force the luck to fly over to period 8. Chew Khiu Suan wrote: secondly, the building is facing se1, but the door to my office face different direction, i should use the facing direction of the main building rather than my office main door? Building frontage is to assess the feng shui of the entire block. While office facing assess the luck of that unit within the entire office. Since you are assessing your office, you should use either your office facing direction rather than the building frontage. Hope that helps.

Though, this will sure to create conflict but not much unless you can move out or they remove it, you probably want to defend yourself. So maybe, try again to tell them nicely that unless they remove their bagua, otherwise you will be forced to put one for protection.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi Master Cecil, have generated the online report years back basing on the actual "main door" .. but recently when i read thru the forum, you mentioned that if the actual main door is not open most of the time, we could use the windows as the "main door" ..now i'm confused .. how do i determine which to use?or can i 'chose'? do i need to do something to 'signify' that the windows is my "main door"? appreciate you advise .. thanks Generally, the direction that Cecil has determined your house, would probably be the main direction where the luck would enter into the house. By default, we go try to go for:- 1. For Apartment (2nd-7th level), you take the main door facing. 2. For Apartments (8th level), you take the living room / balcony facing. 3. For landed property, you take the facing of the house. This will determined the type of facing direction of the house. This facing of the house will be hard to change even say if you have 2 entrance and an alternate facing is possible. But in reality, this facing is hard to change even though it may be possible. For only, a few cases where the layout is exceptionally special, then we have not choice but to use the alternate facing. Like what you mentioned. It is "possible" to use the windows as the main door. However, sometimes this is still not the true direction. So we should try to base it on generally accepted guidelines which is as per what I have listed above. This will cause less confusion. Only for the special exception, the rest we will try to follow the default convention. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Dear Feng Shui Master, After a renovation of my office, I am sitting with my back facing a door. The door is directly behind me. But I am sitting outside the room which the room's door is directly facing my back. I read from a book that this is bad in feng shui. I could be betrayed, cheated, or stabbed in the back & good work luck is completely missing. And I feel that it is quite true as it really happens. I have been so unlucky at work after the renovation. What should I do & what things can I put on my desk to cure this matter? Thank you so much for your help! Yes, this is not a good position, because you can't see people that enter into the office when you work in this position, so more prone to attacks. However, the problem is unless you a key personal in the office where you have your own room, there is frankly very little you can to to reposition or even change the colour scheme of your office. You are also unlikely to be able to placea partition behind you. So really not much practical thing you can do.Even placing things (QiLin)on your table may not help you as ultimately, the Qi Linwill be blocked by you thus end up creating sha qi for yourself. So, in such situation, where there isn't much you can do, I can only advise you to either improve your own luck by wearing more of your favourable colours, and probably improve your existing house luck. Hopefully, it will be enough to offset this problem in your office. So probably check out what is your ba zi, and try to improve the colour scheme of the clothes you wear and your home luck.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: What is the difference between Ba Zhi and Zi Wei Dou Shu types of reports? Ba Zi essentially, is using the 4 pillars in your chart made up of the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branches to chart out your luck and even some areas of fortune telling. It is good more for feng shui in understanding what is your heavenly given luck and some people use it to tell your fortune. Zi Wei Dou Shu is more Chinese Horoscope and Astrology which uses horoscope to chart out your chart. This analysis focus more on relationship analysis, characteristics type. Often deemed more for fun type of analysis. Just like every year the horoscope forecast tells you what kind of interpretation for each horoscope in that year. So both are essentially different way of assessinga person. One reveals more fortune, the other more on compatibility or characteristics. In our website, we the lovesigns.net portion adopts some of the basic Zi Wei Dou Shu concept for romance luck etc. Hope that helps.

Dear Gi Soh, Gi Soh wrote: I am looking at a condo unit which is facing west and a summit. Feng Shui wise is it ok ? Generally, all west facing homes will faceafternoon sun which can make the unit warm every day. This in itself is a potential problem as if a person feels hot, the likelyhood of getting angry or even hard to focus. So even for those West group person, it is still not so advisable to choose a west facing house unless it is somehow shaded. As for facing a summit (of a hill?), if so whether or not it is good depends on where is the mountain star is located from the flying star analysis. You see a house will benefit from the facing (clear space) and moutain support. So if the flying star is in the right orientation where the mountain star is where there is a mountain support in the surrounding, and clear space at the frontage then of course this is good. Else, it may not necessary be good. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Linda, Linda Tung wrote: I have been told that my DM element is weak, but your website says i am strong earth...someone explained that because mainly Iwas born in autumn.. what do you think of this? Here is my bazi, and below is his explanation: Linda Tung wrote: http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u45/sassywf/linda.jpg Frankly, there are many factors to consider in determining whether you are a weak or strong chart. As far as our website is concerned (after considering all the elements, element strengthen, combinations/clashes/joins etc), we determine whether you are weak or strong based on the fundamental equation of whether your favourable element making you strong is it greather than your unfavourable element making you weak. As far as your chart is concerned, the final breakdown of your percentage will be:- Element Strength Percentage 1 Water Strong 12 % 3 Wood Extremely Weak 9 % 3 Fire Weakest 18 % 3 Earth Weak 28 % 2 Metal Strongest 31 % As you are born in the earth element day, this means that favourable for you to be strong would be fire+earth. While, water and wood which weakens your earth would make you you weak. Favourable Elements: 18% Fire + 28% Earth = 46% Unfavourable Elements: 12% Water + 9% Wood = 21% Metal isn't considered into the inital equation because it can both help water become stronger, and it can also destroy Wood which weakens the unfavourable elements. It also can exhaust Earth which weakens earth. So ultimately, if you cannot factor Metal into either side of the equation as it cancels it's own effect. Therefore, since your favourable element is 46% vs 21% you are deemed to be a Strong Earth. That is how we do our fundamental calculation. Of course we also did consider some of the points you mentioned. However, you also have to note, that some of the points you mentiond may be tehnically correct, but not every point should be factor in. Especially, changes that brings about indirect changes. Such as water produces wood, but it also destroys fire, and at the same time it exhaust metal. So at any one time, there are 3 ways an element adds to the element. Though, you mentioned some of the changes sounds technically correct, not every pointcan be considered into the initial equation as some have double edge influence (meaning it not only help it also destroy which cancel's that effect out). At least this is our fundamental way of finding the best way to deduce the overall state of your ba zi element. And that is how you are defined as Strong Earth. The from the Strong Earth, we later use the breakdown in the initial five element percentage to fine tune what you lack in your chart:- For example, you are a Strong Earth, So generally, you favourable elements are metal/water/wood. Wood (9%) is what you lack most so this is your most favourable element, followed by water (12%) and least favourable is metal as you have 31%. The ideal percentage is 20% of each element. Thus, some fire after you have sufficient wood+water is good as fire helps to keep the excess Metal in check. You see, you need an balance amount of each element to achieve perfect harmony. On the basic, as long as you add metal/water/wood, you will already weaken your excess earth. But on a fine tuning level, wood+water and some fire will be the way to balance your chart. Thus, as far asour website is concerned, you are a Strong Earth after we consider all the various fundamental changes in your ba zi chart and as shown in the percentage that we worked out. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

The no 6 star is a white star which is metal. That I have no problem (Ithink) as all are auspicious star. Actually, it is impractical, to apply monthly flying star luck changes each month. At most, you fine tune to upto yearly is still fine. Most of the time, the most important is to balance up the stars based on the 20-year chart which usually covers most of what influence for that sector. Then maybe factor in the yearly star at the beginning of each year to fine tune some of the sectors. What we are concerned about is usually where the star 2 and 5 falls each year and maybe some of the other less auspicious stars. The 20-year sector if have a star 2 and star 5 may be further strengthen that year. So additional corrections may sometimes be needed. So basically, that is all you need to do. No one will really apply changes upto the monthly star. That is more for you to know that within the whole year, which months may need to be extra careful. That is about all.

As long as you neutralise the effect, you can still effectively use the room. That is why I say, you just need to do the following:- 1. Find a room that is defined as your favourable direction/sector based on the eight house. This will be a room most suitable for you to use. 2. Neutralise all the bad stars based on the flying star principles, that means if there is star 2/5 in the sector, then you must avoid using bright yellow etc. And/or find the right cure to balance the sector. 3. Next comes your own personal ba zi element colours. Avoid colours that will activate the bad stars, then choose from the remaining colours from your own favourable colour to boost your luck. Basically, as long as you know how to prioritize which comes first etc, it isn't that difficult to apply feng shui properly and effectively. Hope that helps.

Dear Bansari, Bansari shah wrote: We have same wooden beam in my kids room too. which one works better 1) bamboo flute or 2) wooden support. Thanks for your advice. Bansari Generally, these are the two common ways to cure the beam problem. Both are equally effective. So can't tell you which is better. However, from design point of view the two wooden support looks less like feng shui cure and can add some decorative effect. However, if you really want the most effective method would be to build a false ceiling. From feng shui point of view, if you can no longer see the threat it no longer becomes a problem. So really, the most effective is to build a false ceiling to cover the beams. This way you will eliminate the threat completely. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I realised that kitchen is not good to place at the north. Generally, if you look from it at a fundamental level. North=Water, so a kitchen in the North will be like Fire vs Water which clash. However, frankly, this is only one level of looking at it. I mean given that there are only 8 directions in any layout, at some point some layout will certainly have kitchen located in the North sector. So does it mean that everyone who has the kitchen at North will be doomed? Of course, not. This is because the overall houselayout vs the house flying star luck isequally important. If the house is able to take advantage of the frontage or external Qi, even if the kitchen is not exactly located in the ideal sector, that is only 1/8 different direction that may not be suitable. A house will certainly have some good and bad points. A bad feng shui house is where you have more cons then pros. A good feng shui house is where you have more pros than cons. So the kitchen located in the North not being good is not the end of the world. Anonymous wrote: What would be the good colour and element to north placed kitchen for improvementof this situation ? With regards to this point, the colour scheme of a house should be choosen such that the colours helps to balance out and neturalise any of the inauspicious flying star influence. So it isn't right for any one to just say that just because the kitchen is in North, therefore, you need to put in this colour to balance it correctly. In fact, more importantly you need to check out what is the flying star sector number that falls in the North sector of the house. If there are stars 2/5 (Strong Earth star), then probably a white/metal decor scheme would be better. You can use the free flying star chart in our Member Area to see what stars fall in that sector, then balance the five element accordingly:- URL: http://login.geomancy.net However, a safe decor colour is white/metal as usually it can help control the star 2/5 (Strong Earth) and even star 3/4 (Wood stars). That is why you noticed some oven/fridge tends to be like stainless steel (metal), or white (metal). So these are very neutral colours that can balance most of the sectors. Hope that helps.

Dear Constance King, constance king wrote: hello cecil, am wondering as weak water does it matter if i should wear yellow gold or white gold or rose gold as long as it is metal? Generally, in feng shui, we can define an item by the material or shape or colour. You see most items you can't run away from the material it is made from. So in your above case, all are metal material. Butut if you look at the colours, then you can add another level of five element analysis. For example, Yellow gold is more Earth, white gold is more Metal, rose gold is more pinkish is more Fire element. If you look at it from a pratical standpoint. White Gold will draw less attention as it can be mistaken as stainless steel. While yellow gold is very striking which may draw unnecessary attention from robbers. So white gold will be more preferred to minimise any robbery. So ultimately, it depends on how you look at it. constance king wrote: also, would it be okey to have a red door ( as main door) on any of my 4 good directions? thanks Why not just leave the door as the original wood colour? This is most neutral. Rather than red which will represent fire of which some direction may not be good to have it red such as North direction. Anyway, ultimately whether or not you get good feng shui depends a lot on the external feng shui of the house itself. Not so much about what colour of the door is painted. Hope that helps.
