Dear MK, MK MK wrote: May I know how to calculate the 5 elements? Frankly, this is rather complicated as you need to determine the number of elements you have for each elements, assign the element strengthen, and take into consideration the combinations and changes in elements. The simple way is take the total element and number of each element. Factor in at least the weightage of total element strength and individual element weightage and you should have a fair percentage breakdown.

The based on the layout of the room, the bed should be place in such a position where you can see the bed when you are lie on the bed. 1a. The bed should be placed anchored to the wall with no windows. 1b. The bed should be placed where directly behind the wall is the toilet/stove sharing the same wall. 2. The next comes finding the best sleeping position based on your eight house based on the posible. 3. The flying star related bad influence, can be corrected, so you should not be avoiding that sector because it has bad stars. Those stars can often be neutralised. In fact, you want to avoid the stars, you should already do that when you are searching for your house. Try to find the house that al the bad stars if possible fall in the least used rooms (toilet/storeroom etc). Anonymous wrote: The north wallwhich is mygood facing is unfortunatelyM5W2 wall.

Whether or not a pond at a location is good, depends a lot on how it benefits the flying star of the house. If the stars in the west sector has the auspicious water star 8 (for a period 8 house for exmaple), then it is good to have a water feature there. This is the proper way to determine whether a water feature is good or bad as each house is unique and not every house is bad to have water feature at the west side. You should use the flying star report (a free one can be generate in our member area). To check on where is your auspicious wealth star for your house.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi.. I have a question to ask about stove and toilet.. As per attached picture, will there be any leakage of wealth? Cos that is the only favorable position in my kitchen to place the stove, and in order to avoid the toilet entrance from facing the stove, I have purposly build a wall to block it. Would need your advice.. Thank you.. Generally, as long as these two worst setup is avoided, should be ok:- 1. The stove does not face the toilet bowl directly. 2. The stove is not located just behind a wall sharing the toilet bowl. The rest depends on other factors. Given that there is at least a walkway and wall, the stove would not face the toilet directly. Underfeng shui concept, ifyoucannot see it, it no longer becomes a problem. As for the rest you have to check on other layout issues within the kitchen. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I am currently working on the plans for a new 2-storied house to be built this year. Thank you for advising me as to whether I should consider each story separately for feng-shui orientations. Or do I consider the centre of the house regardless of the stories? 1) If the 2 story house belongs entirely to 1 owner, then you should take the facing of the house from the frontage of the entire house, and the center point will remain the same for both levels. 2) If the house is divided into two separate owners, then you each will have their main door entrance just like an apartment. Therefore, the center point and facing will be based on the individual level's main door facing. I believe your situation falls in the para 1, so you should take the same centerpoint and your general house frontage as your guide. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hello... my question is regards to the placement of dragon and tiger picture puzzle. It's me and my husband's I chinese sign. Thank you very much in advance. Actually, just treat it as a typical painting. As long as the dragon or tiger isn't to like fighting each other(which represents disharmonious - not good for relationship.)Or looking too fierce looking (which can be a sha qi).You can treat it as a normal painting and hang it where you like it just as a decorative item. If puzzle is has conflict or fierce looking meaning, then better not to display it. In feng shui, as long as the picturedoes not have any bad meaning associated when you look at it, it is fine to display it anywhere you like. Hope that helps.

Dear Christina, Christina Krishnan wrote: Hi, I am pretty new to fengshui. I used the free report to check on my 4 good and bad sectors. I would like to find out if one needs to put something auspicious in the bad direction to avoid problems or do we put them in the good direction? How do we also calculate our lucky days for starting a new job? Basically, the 4 good and 4 bad sectors which is the Eight House concept is only used for checking on suitability of a house and the best directions for sleeping/working/study position. That is about all. For a house, you only use it check if a bedroom is suitable, where is the best position to sleep, where is the best position to study/work. So a bad sector does not mean that you cannot put auspicious things there. It just mean that sector is not the best sector for you to use. You are still allowed to place items whereever you want to just minimise the doing anything important in that sector of the house.

I presume here that you are refering to a chinese method of deducing the best date to give birth to a boy or a girl, right? If so, then I won't be able to tell you for sure. As this is a method passed down from previous generations, so it might have some logical deduction method. However, from what I heard from older generations who had tried it, is there is some degree of truth to the formula. So no harm trying it. Maybe the best way to know if it works or not is to try it.

Dear Lindberg, S Lindberg wrote: Which should I use in interpreting things in my home? I feel very confused about this. Thank you. Proper Feng Shui evalutions uses proper feng shui tools such as:- 1. Ba Zi - To help understand about yourself what element you belong to, what type of luck and what kind of Heaven Luck you are give. 2. Compass Schools (Eight House/Flying Star) - Eight House to determine how suitable a house is to you, and your 4 good and 4 bad directions. While Flying Star determine how is your house luck. Just like the ba zi helps you understand your personal luck, the Flying Star helps you understand how your house luck is form. 3. Shapes and Form - Allows you assess how your house external environment will affect your house. 4. Usually, with the above tools, it will give you a good overview of your overall luck. A person's luck is affected by:- 4a) Heaven Luck - Which is the luck you are given. So the ba zi/horoscope helps you here. 4b) Earth Luck - Your home and environment. So the compass schools and the shape and form concepts helps you here. 4d) Human Luck - Your relationship andownhard work. So proper feng shui will uses these tools to assess. To see how best to get the house in the right colour, placing the furniture and layout so that everyone feels comfortable to stay in the house. As for Black Sect Tantric Buddhist (BTB) appears to have been a modern "invention" fabricated in the mind of one person: Thomas Lin Yun. It has no no basis in or connected to Traditional Chinese Feng Shui. BTB is not recognised by many practitioners of Traditional Chinese Feng Shui. Traditional practitioners also consider BTB to be Psuedo-Feng Shui. It is based primarily on a marketing scheme derived from superstition and profit. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I reliase that my wealth sector is located in the toilet and store. How can i maximise my wealth sector to benefit me financiallyor minimise my losses (as financially i have not been doing well). If your wealth stars falls in your toilet or storeroom area, you will not be able to maximise or activate that wealth luck. In fact, if the wealth stars falls in your toilet, it will symbolise a leak of your wealth. One method is to place a chinse hulu (bottle gourd) usually to help minimise this is to attempt to symoblically trap the some of the wealth before it leaks out. If it the wealth area falls in your storeroom, then you can't benefit from it as it is locked up in the store but would be better than having a toilet located there. The only other thing you can do is attempt to fix up all other leaks in your home, choosing the right colour scheme to enhance your personal luck, and to activate other wealth areas in the house. This will help to offset the problem of the wealth star falling in the toilet/store area. I have some guide on the common leaks to look out for in this talk reference:- URL: http://talk.geomancy.net Hope that helps.

Will the grave site has bad effect to the house owner? Is it advisable to buy or avoid buying this house? Generally, having a graveyard close to your home isn't advisable. The fact, that you are concerned and are asking this question, will also mean other people who will be interested in your property will have the same concern.

Clashes in your house facing element isn't really as bad as having a house falls in your death/disaster sector based on your eight house. This is because if your house faces your death or disaster sector, you cannot really correct this problem. As the house either suits you or not suits you. You just cannot force a house to be suitable to you. Just like if you bought some clothings, if it fits you can wear it, if not you have to get a bigger or smaller size clothes. Based on your ba zi, your element can be enhanced from a suitable house facing element, a suitable career/business element or a favourable colours/house decor/car etc. Basically, anything that you can relate your five element to. You can refer to this chart for some guide:- URL: http://talk.geomancy.net So ifthe house element does not fit you, then you correct from getting other areas a suitable career/job scope, a suitable colour scheme for your clothings/room/car etc.Oreven, having the right element people work with you or spending time with family members that is of your favourable elements.This will improve your element so that even if the house element is not favourable for you, you will still not be too affected by it.

Dear Yen Zhen, yan zhen goh wrote: I am a Ram person of weak water element (2nd Nov 1979). Many horoscope books havestated that I am always incompatible or have many difficulties with Tiger & Dog people. Actually, I get along extremely well with them! (incl my best friends & most reliable subordinates as well)What could be the factors? I have 5 earth elements in my chart; could that be a factor too? I'm extremely interested to find out about this. Thanks in advance! Frankly, horoscope is a very simplistic way to determine compatibility as it assigns each horoscope sign with some compatible and incompatible horoscope. However, if you think more deeply, there are only 12 horoscope sign, so your horoscope is based on the horoscope that you are born in. So for example, if you are a Ram, then the horoscope sign you tend to clash most with is Ox for example. With so many people born, it does not mean that all the compatible signs will always get alone together. Each year will also have different element person born. This means that you may be a weak water Ram, another person may be a weak wood Ox. Although, Ox and Ram clash, but the element compatibility minimise the clash as water produces wood. So even though horoscope are not compatible, the element is compatible so it reduces the friction. Furthermore, when it comes to relationship, there is a much greater influence from a person's Human Luck. Whether or not two persons can get alone depends a lot of the human luck factor. Even if the horoscope are not compatible, but if ther human luck factor such as there is sufficient time spent to allow you to understand the other person, or if you each tolerate each other's flaw, or even if there is some special interest which makes both person click. All these factors, can still make your relationship good despite what is forecast in your compatibility. So really, lots of horoscope forecast should only be taken for fun. Besides the compatibility issue, the human luck factor is equally important. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Once you properly define the outline of the house (which forms the major outline or support for the house. Anything missing area within the Square/Rectangle shape, is defined as a missing corner. Anything, that extends out of the square/rectangle, is defined as a protrusion. A small missing corner is fine, but if the missing corner covers a large area, then it becomes a big issue.

If this missing corner is on a landed property, you can extend a roof to cover it, or have some stone outland of garden landscapeto make it look like it is a square when you view it from the top. 2.Iffor apartment, some use mirror to falsely createan extension or use a concave bagua to attempt tosuck Qi back the missingarea.

Dear Yan Zhen Goh, yan zhen goh wrote: May I find out the key differences between these two? At first I didn't catch those words when I was reading the compatibility reports which were generated in this website... How serious is this? What is the significance when two people's heavenly stems clash/ harm? Thanks! Under the ba zi, there are 4 degrees of incompatibility (Clash/Harm/Punishment/Self-Punishment). Of which two more problematic clash are the :- 1. Clash (being the worst), normally means a completely different nature of horoscope sign that is not compatible (quite similiar to if you think about water and fire). 2. Harm (is next), normally this means some minor differences between the two which does not necessary see eye to eye. In the compatibilty report, we do a detailed check against all your ba zi pillars to see what are the types of clashes/harms that will be found. Given, that more than 12 different heaven stem/earthly branch are being compared. Some clashes/harms present is perfectly fine. Especially, if the clashes are from non-important pillars such as the hour vs conception pillar. The more major clashes are Year to Year and Day to Day clashes. As that will denote, potential horoscope incompatibility or day element incompatibility. So unless there are major clashes, most of the rest occuring are quite normal or not really as significant.So we normally view it as a total:- 1. If there are 2 major clash/harm, it does show some minor incompatibility. 2. If there are no major clash/harm, but there are at least 4-6 minor clash/harm, then it also shows porential incompatibilty as too many small issues can also become a big problem. Otherwise, most of the rest will denote minor forms of disagreement between the couples, most of the time can be reduced through having the common element to help improve the relationship. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

If our report defines you as a Strong self, then you are a strong self. Frankly, a Follow The Leader chart is really nothing special at all. Not if you apply the properly five element concept properly from our website. You see each person is defined either as a weak or strong element. This depends on whether he has more favourable elements or he has more of his unfavourable elements. Once you have that properly defined, the next thing is to determine your five element percentage. The ideal is such that all 5 elements should have 20%. Elements you have less than 20%, some of it is good for you, while Elements you have more than 20%, means you already have enough of it. A follow the leader type, is more because your chart is more unbalanced, so you sometimes need to go with the flow of the elements you have more in order to bring your chart in balance. Which is no different from what our website does by checking what element percentage you have and what elements you need more or less. To better illustrate what i mean, that this five element breakdown for example:- 0 Extremely Weak Water

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Could you please tell me what is the 8 aspirations chart report, 8 house report and yearly flying star for? and I would like to know which report takes priority when I use it. The order of important is as follows:- 1) Flying Star is to assess the luck of your home using a mathematical formula. This tells you where is your illness/misfortune stars and even where is your wealth star. Any inauspicious star has to be neturalised while any wealth star should be activated. So you need to correct this irregardless of whether a room is suitable to a person or not. 2) Eight House is to tell you whether a house suits you or not, or whether there is a bedroom that you can use. So this tells you whether the house is suitable to you or not. Even if the house has good flying star, if the house or room does not suit you, you cannot maximise the luck from the house. 3) Eight Aspiration is a static concept that is based on the bagua. This means that everyone's romance sector is South-West for example. This is the least important of the 3 concept and should only be applied when when all the other concepts are applied. Anonymous wrote: Why are there yearly flying star chart and monthly star chart, if the yearly chart is good on the NE and the monthly star is not good in for NE then what should I do for the NE? Just like your ba zi, where a person's luck changes every 10-year/5-year/year/6-monthly/monthly/daily and hourly. The flying star also changes from year to year, month to month and even day to day if you want to check. However, the more important for flying star is to focus on the 10-yearly luck of the house and the yearly luck of the house. Beyond that it is very impractical to apply. I mean do one really have time to keep balancing the different house sector every day/month? This is not really practical. Furthermore, all it tells you really is which month is the worst month of the year. That is about all. So all you use that monthly chart is just to take note of which month you should be extra careful of problems that will happen for that year. The more important, is to fix up the 10-yearly and at most the yearly sectors. Once that is balanced,the monthly stars will have little overall impact. Hope that helps.
