Dear Jason, Jason Nah wrote: Can anyone advise me where to get good and cheaper Compass for Feng Shui purpose in Singapore ? Why not try some of the shop selling sports or mountain tracking equipments. There are still lots of other brands no need to get Suunto. Generally, as long as the compass is fairly bignot the small size compass (iegreater than 50 cents coin and not 20 centscoin type). Should be ok. Better ones, tend to be enclosed insome anti-magnetic casing which helps to reduce magnetic influence.So far most of the compass used for trekking should be fine. The only thing is just make sure you take a reading away from your home or building structure and compare it to one taking at the building structure. Generally, if there is a deviation, mark how many degress it deviates and subtract it when you are applying your reading. This is because most of the houses tend to have strong structure which affects your compass. Otherwise, any reasonable compass should do the job. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Quote: In the 30 days free auspicious date for 2 persons, I'm able to obtain agood date for moving house as 7 Jan 2006 (Sat). However, I alsounderstand fromanother Chinese calender/website that 7 Jan clashes with the Tiger Chinese Horoscope (owner of the house). Therefore, is it a good day to move house on that day? How about dates like 31 Dec 2005 & 1 Jan 2006?Which date will be the best day for moving to a new house? Pse advise. Thank you very much. Have a nice day. Probably, this reply might be a little late as I just saw your posting today. Actually, our analysis also shows the clash 1st person (yin-shen). However, because the breadwinner is a Strong Metal, and the influence of the day combines with your 1st person to form water influence. Water is good for Strong Metal person, so this reason helps to reduce the clash impact of the yin-shen. Of course, ideally, it will be great if you can find a perfect date which absolutely no clashes or harm etc. But in reality, this is virtually impossible. Thus, overall the date is still considered favourable. If you have a choice and there is another date which is earlier or later that you can use and does not have the clash, that would be ideal. However, if there isn't then this date is considered the best available already. Seems, that you are looking for a weekend date, so it will narrow down the choices available. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Frankly, our online calculator does a lot more deeper analysis, as such if it has determined you as a weak Fire, you are a weak fire. I assume your date of birth is for Male as I deduced from your forum name.

Water in this case will be a favorable element. Though, this might seem the case, to determine whether you are a weak or strong depends a lot on other factors that might alter or change the your chart element. In your case, it might seem that your Fire is a Strongest due to being in Summer. However, the presents of the Fire ie your Si in the Month pilar, combines with Shen to convert that Fire to Water. Thus, losing the Fire element which could have made you strong. Element Strength Percentage 7 Water Weakest 53 % 0 Wood Weak 0 % 1 Fire Strongest 12 % 3 Earth Strong 30 % 1 Metal Extremely Weak 2 % So end up your chart has overall only 12% Fire and having excess of Water. In addition, it has 0% of Wood to support the Fire.Thus, you are a weak Fire, not a Strong Fire. Frankly, a person's ba zi element is difficult to assess properly unless you do a detailed analysis of the five element, it's strength, the season it is in, the clashes and combinations that come into effect. As mentioned, our analysis determines a person based on all the many factors. Since our free report result isn't crippled in anyway, it will be the exact result of the paid analysis. Except that you will not see the details of the analysis. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Reseach.

And these type of advise should be taken under general tips only. Only, where advise is given to you based on your personal details and done for you in consideration of all factors, then you should follow. Most of the general advise are in fact general at most. They are also there because of certain conditions. Make sure you get it right before you even consider following the advise. In fact most of the chinese horoscope, including our forecast of the horoscope, is only a general indication of what the animal sign may like or dislike. Ultimately, your individual analysis will still often be more important than most general tips. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Appreciate your advisealot Thank you "Happy New Year to you and Cecil not forgetting allmembers out there" Fanny A very happy New Year to you too! Generally, a major renovation will for sure change the house luck. Painting if done for the entire house at the same time, may also be a symbolic house luck change. However, it may take a longer time for the Qi to cross over to the next period unless you have a few major celebrations (ie birthday celebration, new year celebrations).

Dear Kennth Chong, Kenneth Chong wrote: In 2006, Tai Sui resides in the NW direction. Is it alright to sit at my working desk facing SE (in order to get support from NW)even if SE is my bad direction? My Kua no. is 6. Generally, the most important thing is avoid having any major renovations to disturb the tai sui. Which in this case avoid having any major renovations in NW direction. As for the sitting and having the tai sui behind you, this is more for any major events or key things in your life. So as to get the Tai Sui behind you to back you up. Otherwise, for normal day to day activities, frankly, as long as you do not do any major renovations, then it is still ok to facing one of your better directions based on your eight house.

Dear Olivia, Olivia Kim wrote: Would you kindly answer the following question: If one places the necessary cures/enhancements for the year based on the compass direction for the whole house, is it better to also place those cures and enhancements in each of the rooms as well (except for the kitchen and bathroom)? Happy New Year to you too! Generally, 1 cure per direction is usually enough. Most of the time we try to determine which sector covers most of the room, and then apply the cure for that direction to cover the entire range of the sector influence. Since most of the time if you apply feng shui using colour scheme of the room, then there is usually very little need for any item/product cures. Too much of such products and items does not make the house look as nice as a cleaner house with the right colour scheme that help balance up each sector. So most of the time you only only put in such additional cures if the sector really needs it. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Hoa Luong, Hoa Luong wrote: Under P7, stars 6 and 1 are considered "average stars", but under P8, they are "auspicious stars". This is very confusing!, why is there such difference? Please explain. The 9 stars have different luck period depending on the period they are in. For example, Period 7, star 7 is good, but for other period it is a robbery star. It is a fading prosperity when it enters in to period 8 but revert to it's robbery star. So other stars will also be changed according to the interaction with the period. ie period 8, star 1 is the future future prosperity so the star is considered auspicious. Hope that helps.

The one thing that comes to my mind here is that tarot is another form of divinity nothing related to Chinese Feng Shui. The closest I can think of a Chinese divinity is the I-Ching or oracle. So since tarot is not really feng shui I do not see how you can use tarot directly or indirectly in feng shui. Feng Shui uses mainly ba zi, eight house, flying star and external shapes anf form. Even I-Ching is not really used because that is more divinity rather than feng shui. So don't see any relationship between the two at least not in the feng shui aspect at this point. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi, I run an aquarium business out of my home. I have active aquariums in all sectors of my home except the north, south-east,and the south. I have no problem with the fertility of my fish. I have a problem selling them and bringing money into the house. Can feng shui help my business survive? Frankly, I think feng shui may not help you directly here. Firstly, based on an aquarium business, if you only cater to neighbourhood sales, then unless people know about your business, no one may buy from you. If your target market is export or wholesale, then you might have problem competiting with other bigger aquarium business who have large aquarium scale operations. So probably, you need to focus on looking at your business model, it who are you targetting and who are your clients and work on improving that. I really don't think that feng shui can help you a great deal here. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Carla, CARLA MILLER wrote: I have found several homes that I really like but the Feng Shui for the house number is incompatible to me. Is there anyway the negative chi of a house number can be reversed (like adding a letter A or B) in order to be more positive for the owner? House Number has least overall impact over the house compared to the external shapes and form and interior feng shui. There are many ways to view the house number analysis. ie some people dislike house number with number 4, however, there are some people who don't mind the number 4. Therefore, a house number doesn't have the most impact over the house. You can add A or B to which is equal to A=1 or B=2 to change the house number. This is ok as long as you have the ability to chang ethe house number. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Paris, Paris Chee wrote: Dear Master Lee Firstly like to thank you for this website, it is most useful. Like to ask if people said in a certain year they are not supposed to attend white or red matters ie. funeral and/or wedding. How do we know when or whether we can or cannot get involved in such occasions. What will happen if one attends when one is not supposed to? If my bazi chart shows forcast that a certain day is very inauspicious, will attending wedding which is a happy event, helps to turn the inauspiciousness around? Thanking you in advance Paris Generally, if the current year that clashes with your birth year or that the curren year has a major harm with your birth year. These are usually the two types of indication that will not be good for you if your attend wedding or funerals.Anyway, this is more towards the chinese tradition and beliefs. For very very traditional family, they will avoid it like a plague. But for modern family, most do not really bother as much. So really depends on how strongly you believe. Generally, a forecast of each day, is further subjected to like whether the month is auspicious or the year is auspicious or not. So inauspicious day many still be ok if the month is auspicious. However, if the year is bad, the month is bad, and the day is bad then it is considered the worst day in the year for you. The way to improve your luck is always to ensure that you have as much favourable element to boost up your own luck. As long as you continue to have more of your favourable elements, it will reduce all these inauspicious period. It will probably not completely remove the inauspicious impact, but it can certainly minimise the impact it has over you. Hope that helps.

Dear Olivia, Olivia Kim wrote: I'm so thankful for your response! Since my refrigerator is on the same side (two feet away) as my stove, where may I put the mirror? Do I still place the mirror on the refridgerator to reflect both the stove only or both the sink and the stove? Mirror is better to place on the fridge (especially if it is one of those fridge magnet type) and reflect the stove can already. Since the stove is an important place, you do not want the stove energy to be clash with the fridge. So a mirror there will make the stove seem like that is fire at the fridge so will no longer clash with the fridge weakening the wealth. It is not necessary to put another mirror at the stove for a few reasons, looks funny to have a mirror at the stove and can be irritating to the person cooking there. Hope that helps.

Dear Padmanabh, Padmanabh Gokhale wrote: Hello. I live in a period seven home. My home has 4 rooms and is almost rectangular in shape. In September 2004, I changed the flooring tiles of my one room ( only one room ). There was no other changes made in the house. Does this renovation make my home a period8 home? Please advice as Iam not enjoying goodtime since the beginning of period 8. My house is almost rectangular with main door facing Northeast but it is situated in the North corner of the house. This is quite similiar to another post I just replied. Usually the changing of floor tiles often is considered major renovation even if it is limited to one room only. So it is quite likely that your house luck have crossed over to a period 8 house luck. So there might besome unbalanced sectors where there might be star 2 / 5 (illness/misfortune stars) that is active and uncontrolled. Another possibility is whether this room is it located in South-West sector? If it is, you might have disturbed the Grand Duke which is another possible explanation. Last but not least, sometimes your own individual luck may have also changed to another luck period which is less favourable.Make use of some of our free tools ie the free flying star chart and ba zi analysis. Check the luck of the house in period 8 and ba zi luck see which one is likely to be the issue. Anyway, based on what you have provided, the house like has probably changed to a period 8 chart. So look out for the star 2/5 location and balance that sector. I also suspect you check your individual luck as it might also have entered into a less auspicious year etc. Hope that helps.

The previouse owners remodeled the kitchen in 2004 and I have painted the interior, replaced the bathroom vanities and re-tiled the floors,replaced one of the showers stalls, and re-carpetedthe whole house.But still, I have not been well since I have been here. My question is this: does the work I have done constitute a re-model and doesn't the re-modelyearsupercede the year built? Thank you in advance for your help. As the house is in period 6 (1964-1983), and with the work you have done, it is very likely that you have already changed the luck to probably 2004 (if you done it after the chinese new year). Usually, for such older house, any major work can easily change the luck over. This is because the luck of the house is already fading, thus any disturbance to the house will easily push it to the new period. So there are two possibilities. 1. The luck of the house has changed and there are some unbalanced sectors where there might be star 2 / 5 (illness/misfortune stars) that is active and uncontrolled. 2. As well, as not sure if you had accidentially offended the Grand Duke or Tai Sui in the year 2004 which should be in the South-West sector of the house. If any, you should determine what is the new flying star of the chart of the house in period 8 and then balance up all the inauspicious sector. ur website has the free flying star chart in the member area for you to check. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Please check whether you are a weak or strong wood using our free tool at this url:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm If you are a weak wood, metal in general will weaken you further. However, if you are a Strong wood, then metal in general will actually help you control your excess Wood. Applying cures or balances to the flying star is intended to balance up the sector for the entire sector irregardless of the element of the person(s) staying or using that sector. So this must always be in place to harmonise the sector before you work to even enhancing yourself. The best way to harmonise the room is always by the choice of colour scheme in the room. Thus, painting the house in like White or off-white colour helps to automatically add Metal which can balance up the inauspicious star. After which, once you have the base room or colour in the element that neturalises the inauspicious star 2/5 (for example), then you can work to adding other colour scheme favourable to your ba zi to enhance it. As long as you do it moderately as I mentioned above, really no issue about having too much metal. Ideally, a little of every element is needed for a person to be in perfect harmony (ie 20% of each element). So even for unfavourable element, a little won't really kill you, you just want to avoid having too much. Anyway, there are so many other areas such as your career, or colour of other personal belongings, house element etc. Other area favourable element will help offset this one issue so no need to really worry too much about only 1 area. Must always look at the general overview. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

If so, how can we correct this ? From your layout plan, it seems that because of the built up cabinet, there isn't much of a choice in terms of your bed position. So in terms of the shape and form placement, that would be the only 1 position to place it. If that is the case, then probably nothing much you can do even if you have to sleep in your bad position. What you can do to reduce this problem, is ensure that you choose a colour scheme that can fit both you and your spouse ba zi. (ie the element common to both persons.) This can help reduce some of the inauspicious of the bed position. In addition, you see which side of the bed for you and your fiance should be sleeping. Ideally, each of you should be sleeping closer to the side of the bed which is more favourable to your eight house sector. Then the other party can shield the bad influence for you. As I really do not know where is the North direction on the layout, very difficult for me to tell you who should sleep where. At this point, I am only able to recommend these. The rest will really depend on the house feng shui see what else is needed to be balance up so as to create a more harmonious environment for both of you. Hope that helps.
