Dear Anthea, Anthea Tan wrote: I am an insurance agent for the past 3 years. It has been full of ups and downs. Seek your advise if Iam suitable to bein this industry? If not, what industries would be more suitable for me? Do plan to go into social services in my later years. Is it ok to do so? The only issue here is an insurance agent/property agentwill also need to have very good people to people skill in order for you be successful. Not everyone has such very good pursuation skills, I must say which is why not everyone will do well in this career. Also, there besides suitable career, the most important impact to anyone is the home (Earth Luck). Often, most of the time, when things aren't going well, our experiences tells us that the earth luck is usually the root the most of the troubles. So there may be a few issues together that could be the root cause of your ups and downs. Make use of the many tools to help diagnose the issues. In terms of five element Insurance has elements of sales (fire), and customer relations (earth). In terms of suitability, this career should still be ok for a strong wood person. But as mentioned, insurance needs additional 'IT' factor to be successful. May not really suitable for everyone. Before you go about changing your career, as mentioned check out where exactly is the root cause of the problem, it is your home, it is you lack certain additional skills to make it work, or could it also be you are in a very bad luck period that could explain your issues. For five element and career, check out this resource:- URL: http://talk.geomancy.net For social services it would probably be more Human to Human relationship type of work so more towards Earth element type career. So again should be suitable to Strong Wood as Earth is wealth element. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Sam Yeong, Sam Yeong wrote: 1) how to cure double 7 at front door '7m-3b-7w'? Please note that given your house is a period 7 house, it will still retain a period 7 influence, as long as you do not fly it over to the new period by means of a major renovation. This means that even though star 7 reverts to a robbery star in period 8, because your reigning period is still period 7, star 7 still is considered auspicious for your home especially for double 7 stars. However, on it's auspicious influence will start to weaken as it star 7 becomes a fading propserity in period 8. So what you should be doing is that if your home is still a period 7 house, continue to activate star 7 as well as activating star 8 will be good because star 8 is considered period 7's future prosperity, while star 9 is future future prosperity. Usually water feature in a water star position especially in living room or balcony would be beneficial. Given that your house, is period 7, you do have an opportunity now to decide to fly completely to a new period 8 should the influence be much better than period 7 influence. Sam Yeong wrote: 2) wealth sector '6m-2b-8w' falls into masteroom and toilet. Can I put water feature inside the toilet? No. Water star influence can only be activated in Clear Space (ie living room/balancony). It cannot be activated in rooms/toilet. The only other star that can activte in the room is Mountain star. But both stars will be useless if they fall in the toilet sector. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Edwin, edwin tay wrote: I read with interest when you mentioned traditional Feng Shui and the Black Hat Sect. Can you tell us what's the difference between them. Basically, Traditional Feng Shui practise feng shui through the use of many concepts such as Shapes and Form, Compass Schools (Eight House/Flying Star), Ba Zi, I-Ching etc. They make use many of these tools which helps to personalise a person to the home. Black Hat Sect practise using static templates (ie South-West is Romance corner for example), so every's Romance activation sector is South-West. Also, a lot of such Black Hat Sect commonly tries to factoring selling products which claims to be able to create wealth etc. So their concepts are generally very static, based on like what the practitioner feels will improve the place, clutter with lots of products related practises. Using a lot of personal intuition by the feng shui practitioner rather than calculation type model to make recommendations. Something like that kind of nature. I think if you did a search in the forum or website, you should be able to find more info. What I highlighted are just some of the more generally practises associated with Black Hat Sect Feng Shui. edwin tay wrote: Also, what's the difference between the mirco and macro Feng Shui? Micro feng shui is when the area of analysis is focused into a small area such as within the house or bedroom. Macro feng shui is where area of analysis is like the plot of land, country or land. For example, if you take the main door of a house within a building, this is considered micro feng shui analysis of the apartment only. If you take the main door of the building or facing of the plot of land the building is on, this is macro feng shui where you are analysing the entire building (irregardless of the individual units/apartment). Macro feng shui is generally about large area of concern such as external shapes and form of the building, while micro is normally deals with a specific area such as the apartment or room only.

Dear Cheryl, cheryl ludwig wrote: According to what I've read, the wealth sector is the Southeast normally. However, according to my understanding, for me, the wealth sector is in the Southwest. Hence, my confusion. I believe I am a weak wood, if that helps (10/29/57 - 11:15 a.m.). My question: Which direction do I enhance and with what? Thank you ahead of time. I wish to remind all users here that there is no such thing a fixed wealth sector or direction. True wealth sector is changing from time to time and place to place. As such, wealth is always moving around your home. The wealth sector is identified by the flying star concept. It does not stay in a fixed location. So activation of the water/mountain star will determine on what stars are found in that sector. If based on only this year, 2005, then the wealth star is star 8 current luck period, as additional yearlywealth luck comes in South sector of the house, while North is your future prosperity. If your house is a period 7 house, then your currnet luck period would have shifted to North-East, while Future prosperity is South. But you will need to get the full flying star sector of your home to truly determine where is your full wealth potential. Make use of the free flying star report in the members area to help you. The only other so call like prosperity / excellent sector for example is basically the eight house concept which focus on telling you whether a sector suits you or not. Or based on your ba zi, ie weak water, means Earth direction are your wealth, as such North-East or South-West are your wealth personal wealth direction. But as a weak wood, you first need to strengthen your weak wood with water and wood before being able to take advantage of your wealth element. Hope that helps.

Dear Jerine Hsu, Jerine Hsu wrote: Hi, I am new here. Just realised that my boyfriend and my chinese horoscope is not compatible.. he is a goat and I am a dog.. its said to be very bad... I am very sad as he is the one i am hoping to live my life with.. can you kindly advise me how to make it better? I will be very grateful.. thank you Yes, in terms of chinese horoscope, dog and goat aren't ideal combination. However, not to worry as it is not the end of the world. Chinese Horoscope generally considers year of birth so you are matching year of birth to year of birth to check compatibility. You should also check on the element from your ba zi and see what kind of element you belong to as such find a way to improve compatibility. ie weak water vs strong metal person can improve harmony with water element. That also means that you should check out what kind of element of goat and what element of dog. Sometimes once you consider the element it might not be as bad anymore or at least some ways to improve it. However, it will still depend on the two individuals to work out the differences in order for any relationship to last. So even if it is incompatible, but if you both person are willing to work out the difference, then it should be ok. Hope that helps.

Dear Edwin, edwin tay wrote: 1. If we were to change our name, after the change, if we do not use that name often, it would be effective. Meaning to say that if people call myChristian name instead of my Chinese name, it would not be effective. Frankly, a name change isn't recommended especially once you reach a certain age. This is because the hassle involved and the effects you can expect from the name is not a great deal. In addition, if you don't use the name it is even less effective. Usually a name is effective only when it is given from birth. As everyone will know and call you by the name. Thus, it is useful when you choose a good name for a baby. You will find that if you focused on other areas such as your home, and enhancing your ba zi, you will reap a much greater amount of luck improvement than compared to a name change. Often, I can tell you frankly, that I will strongly not advise a name change unless it is absolutely necessary or if a client truly insist on it. edwin tay wrote: 2.I'm a weak wood. If I were to include the chinese character wood and water in my signature, does this help to enhance my wood and water element? The only problem I can tell you here is. There isn't a feng shui analysis concept for signatures. So it is your own guess as to how you can enhance your signature. Probably, by the shapes that you chose in your signature (if any).

If you can confirm that your date of birth information is:- Male Western Calender: 7 Jan 1974 Lunar Calendar: 15 day, 12th 1973 Then I can confirm that your true element is Strong Earth, as true element is best deduced from Ba Zi Heavenly Stem of the day. Given that your ba zi is Wu, therefore your element is Earth element. Given that I have seen many different feng shui masters using different ways to define a person's element, ie some use Gua element, some use Ba Zi Year element, some use Chinese Astrology, some use I-Ching etc. So if different concepts are used to analyse you birth element, you get differences. So as a Strong Earth person, therefore, Metal and Wood element would be best for you. Engineering is Wood element, so is still considered generally suitable for you. Hope that helps.

Please e-mail with this forum message so that I can remember the correspondence. Even though Cecil has done the analysis for you, but as it is sometime, the quickest way is provide us with the date of birth info to quickly analyse for you. Often, for timing for example, it is best you use auspicious sounding of the time ie 8.58 or 9.59 for example. Such auspicious sounding is often most practical. This is because sometimes if you just focused on the hour, best hours for can be at wee hours of the morning, which is no use for you. Hope that helps.

Dear CindyLu, Quote: I've always wondered if feng shui helps people struggling with weight loss/gain. Would this just be associated with the general health star? or does this not have significance in flying star? Please understand that Feng Shui is no mircle cure for all problems. Health / Relationships are two of the areas which Feng Shui has least influence or effect. Health is best to always seek Medical advice from doctors. To excercise to improve your health and maintain healthy diet. Relationship depends on two person's willingness to give in to each other. So if you understand this, you will know that there is no way that Feng Shui can fully have an impact over these two areas. Feng Shui can attempt to create a balance or harmony. Usually when most people feel comfortable they will have less worries and thus work better etc. So when you ask about weight loss, this is beyond feng shui. You should rather look into dieting and exercise to control it rather than depend on feng shui. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Angela, A Le wrote: How would you read a diagram of a house to see if it is really missing any corners if it has a covered porch with a small fence around the porch? I have attached a photo. Do you count the covered porch or not? Because if you do not count it, then I will be missing a corner in the SW area, which is not good for me because of my ba zi. If based on the layout you attached, I would consider the garage a protrusion rather than consider the covered porch a missing corner. This is because when you conider where the main door is located, that would give you the border house, where the grarage becomes a protrusion. Hope that helps.

Dear Edwin, edwin tay wrote: In my Bazi report, it is said that my unfavourable wealth element is earth. I would like to find out what's my favourable wealth element. I think you are slightly mistaken by wealth element. By default, the element your birth element destroy is your wealth. This means Earth is your wealth element. However, the differences here is that as a weak Wood person, Earth isn't by default auspicious because if you are not strong enough, you will find that you will lose wealth rather than gain wealth. So your wealth element will become auspicious for you when you make yourself strong enough to benefit from it. As such, the more water and wood element you have in your life, you will then be able to benefit from the Earth wealth element. Hope that helps.

Dear Edwin, edwin tay wrote: Below is an article posted by you. I could not understand the last paragraph whereyou said that it require a strong person to benefit from the wealth career. I'm a weak wood and my recommended career is wood related jobs. There seems to be a contradiction here. Would like to seek your enlightenment on this concept. Thanks! For a weak or strong person, the element you destroy is your wealth element. So for example wood element's wealth is Earth element. The difference lies in the fact that weak Wood needs to be strong first before it can control earth element. However, a Strong Wood is strong enough as such it can control earth element. That is why Strong Wood can immediately take advantage of Wealth or Power and Authority careers. So for weak Wood, unless you have enough water and wood, you cannot effectively take advantage of your Earth wealth element (as such Wealth or Power and Authority careers are not so recommended.) Instead, it is best you go for more suitable careers such as Water/Wood element career. In order for you to be strong, you need to have like Water/Wood facing home, need to have luck period that favour you, need to have like colours, and people around you that is Water/Wood element. Else you will find that if you venture into Earth element career, you will not benefit greatly. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Hi Sophia, Sophia Chia wrote: The bedroomsdoor half of it faces each other. Asa better alternative is to place a red dot on the same spot of both door handles as it is symbolic of "seeing eye-to-eye" with each other. As the results the red dot paint were wear-off and we even try paint it with permanent marker pen there no use (the door knob make of metal).Is there anyalternative to hang a beads or should we paint a red dot again. Frankly, I think here whether you place the dot or not, it really not going to impact much. As mentioned, you must be able to see and judge what issues are consided major flaws what are minor flaws. All major flaws must be corrected, but when it comes to minor flaws, it does not mean that everyone needs to be corrected. For example, image a sha qi, you also have to determine which is major sha qi which is minor sha qi. Say you have a large building opposite the house that cuts into your home. Compare that to say some torns in the plants that cuts to your home. It is obvious that the major sha qi must be fixed, whereas the other one from the torns are not too big a threat. Same issue here, though if two rooms faces each other isn't that ideal, but it isn't as bad as two neighbour door facing each other where you have family members compared to neightbours. This is because as family members, you are more likely to work out your difference. While for neighbours it is harder to work out differences when it arises. So that is why I considered this as minor issues. It really does not matter whether or not you correct it or not in this case. As mentioned, in Feng Shui it is possible to get 100% perfect home, there will bound to be some slight flaws which is ok even if you do not correct it. Hope that helps.

Hi Sophia, Sophia Chia wrote: Since I took the Feng Shui course at your site. I became to understand the Eight House Theory as to avoid the Death and Disaster line. As the main door is to take the breadwinner andspouse bedroom direction. And now, it's looks like I'm confusing with the flying star with the Eight House Theory which I super-impose the 9 grid of my house layout and alsodone the pie chart tosuper-impose.The only option that I can place my bed which is in theSouth (Prosperity) direction but thenthe bed is near to the toilet door and if the door is to open the toilet bowl can be seem.We have placed the curtain across thetoilet bowl whichmean when the toilet door is open the curtain can be seem before the toilet bowl. Is that a good suggestion.Or should I placed my bed at the NE (Irritation) direction. Remember, that in Feng Shui you must prioritise the concept as follows:- 1. Sector where the bedroom falls under for each person will signify the major luck that the person will receive from that room. ie if it is Prosperity, then if the person uses that sector he will enjoy his prosperity luck. This is irregardless of where you actuall face within the room. 2. Shapes and form of the placement of your desk/bed etc. This comes as more important than when you compare which direction you should be facing for your best direction. 3. The Best direction for sleep or working should then be considered if there are two placement options from point 2, and which of the two is better. If you based on this way, you shouldn't have much confusion. As based on what you mentioned, shapes and form placement 2 will be more important. So first make sure this option is ok first before considering any suitability issue. So if I read correct from what you have mentioned, NE (irriration) has better shapes and form, and less suitable sleeping position. Whereas, S (Properity) has better suitability, less shapes and form placement. As such NE would be more ideal. Sophia Chia wrote: Where is the exact of the mountain star and water star located.

So which one is it if you use the garage door as your main entrance? West or SW? Since your home is a landed property, you take the facing from the main door entry (not from the car garage).

Hi Anon, Unfortunately, it is going to be difficult for end users to be able to tell what is really right or wrong. This is not the only theory that I have seen which is different ways to apply, even other concepts like flying star, eight house, ba zi also have lots of variation. The best advise I can give you is, for the internet, it is easy for anyone to write an article on Feng Shui, more importantly, you should always check up on who wrote the article and how much experience they have on the matter. I mean no point taking advise from an article written by someone who just got interest in the subject and thus written the article as they will probably not be able to fully understand most of the feng shui concept anyway. So they may have wrongly interpreted the concepts for example. Often, whenever you learn or read any concepts you should apply the concepts entirely from the same source before coming to any conclusion. Meaning that you shouldn't not read a little here and little there and then combine the information. This is because every concept must be able to be related properly together with a common denominator. For exmaple, using Five Element as the basis to associate the concepts together. Often if you just read one concept from this person, and another concept from that person, the principle theory behind is different, then the result you will get will be completely off. Anonymous wrote: I am new to Feng Shui. After some reading and web searching, I have found two seeming contradicting theories. Please help to clarify.The theory adopted by you seems to indicatethat forEast persons like me with Kua = 4 thefour good directions for the door facing are N, S, SE, and E. However, another theory seems to believe the good sitting direction should be N, S, SE, and E, and thus the door facing directions are S, N, NW, a nd W.For the N and S, either theory would say to begood directions for facing and/or sitting. But for the other directions, two theories could yield totally opposite results (for me, NW would be an idea facing direction according to the 2nd theory, but bad one according to the 1st theory). Could you please offer some insight to thisconfuusion and perhaps the origin of that? Many thanks! I must tell you frankly, that I never like to use the word Facing or Sitting direction. Because, I find that you need to first understand how the author treats these term. Why? Facing can be interpreted two ways. From center of compass going out to the direction (this is from the view that you stand from the house looking outwards). Or from the Direction towards the center (this is from the view the Qi flows from the direction into the house). Of which most often, we take it from the center outwards to the direction. So unless you get this reference point correct, then you will find that you might get different analysis results. So really very hard to tell you which will be right or wrong all depends on how the person explain to you. However, it has been generally accepted that for Eight House, the purpose is find which sector is good or bad for you. And how you apply this is as follows:- 1. Finding best bedroom sector, for example West sector, means your bedroom should be located in the west side of the your home. 2. Bed position - Ideally, if West is a favourable direction for you, then your head to point West, while feet point East. 3. House Facing - If for landed property, generally, because the bedroom are located on the 2nd level. Often most house design is such that if the living room / entrance is South, the master bedroom is located on the top. As such, South Facing house are ideal. 4. Apartment Facing - Now this is a little tricky. Cos most houses, you enter from the West, but your bedroom are mostly located at the East. So when you apply this concept you try to ensure that most of the sector for your bedroom falls under your favourable sector. For example you will noticed one direction often opposite to the other 3 good direction. So if your main door can fall in that sector, while the bedroom still fall under the good sectors this is ideal. 5. In terms of Ba Zi and Eight House determination of direction, it is best to use the Direction from the compass outwards as the facing direction. So for example if your house main entrance is West, and West is your auspicious sector, this means that West side is where your auspicious Qi is so you want this Qi to be blowing into your home. That is why most master on the internet as well as our website will take this as the correct facing direction orientation. On our website, we prefer to use the actual Compass direction as this will eliminate any confusion on the Facing and Sitting direction. Hope that helps.

Hi Edwin, edwin tay wrote: I would like to find out how should I balance the 3 elements of my work desk with Earth, Wood, Water, Metal, Fire? Also, as I'm a weak wood and the fire element in me is quite high, does the'fire' ornament I use to balance my desk increase my 'fire'? One should always rememeber that in Feng Shui, there are always important and least important cures. For example to improve a person luck, the main luck comes from the Home (ie a suitable house element), followed by career (ie sutiable career), and followed by other areas such as colours (of your bedroom, car, clothings etc). As long as you get the above right, even if your work area isn't completely suitable it really does not matter as much. This is because unless you are the boss or key personal in the office, you are unlikely to be able to influence much of where to choose your sitting position or change the colour scheme of the decor. So most cases, most people will not be able to do much at their small work place. So anything that you can place to make it more pleasing for you to work in will be a big plus. So if you have favourate pictures, or photos, or plants or objects that you like, no harm placing it at your desk. This is because if you feel comfortable with the area you work in, then you will tend to have less stress and be able to focus on your work more. edwin tay wrote: Is a dracaena fragans plant (http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/54287/) good for fengshui? does it belong to the wood element and where's the best place to place it? Can it be used to balance one of theelement of my desk? Plants are generally good to have. As they are both pleasing and add colour to the normally dull work area. Yes, most plants if any are considered wood so if you lack or favour wood element, then no harm having some plants. But again more importantly, focus on your other major area such as your home, your clothing or personal objectcolour. These will enhance you no matter where you are working. Hope that helps.
