Dear Jillian, Congratulations on your new flat. Frankly, the best tip not just for yourself but for everyone who simply wants to create a harmonious environment or even troubleshoot. Is to always ensure that your Heaven, Earth and Human Luck are all in harmony. Particularly, Earth Luck which has an adverse impact on your overall luck. 1. Heaven Given Luck - which is luck that is given to you when you are born. Knowing your ba zi element, willl allow you to know what colour for decorating you home, or what career beings you best luck, what people helps you in your career etc. You can make use of the free ba zi report on our member area website to determine your birth element. 2. Earth Luck (your Home) - You Home is the most important luck which can adversely influence over the Heaven Given Luck. Most of the time when there are problems, it is usually because:- a. the House isn't suitable to the breadwinner (ie. use Eight House Report to determine this) b. the house has bad feng shui (ie. Flying Star Report to identify where are all the problem stars that are in red colour) c. an interior shapes and form (ie toilet in the center of the house, or major Qi leak from main door directly out a window) d. an external shapes and form factor where three is a Poison Arrow cutting into your apartment from a building across. As for the point 2c. Check for major flaws like:- - main door enter and directly opposite the house is a window which means Qi flow into the main door and directly out without actually circulating into the house. - toilet located directly in the centerpoint of the house - Odd shaped apartment ie triangle shaped or missing corner As for the point 2d. Simple check for flaws like:- - example is to stand at your main door or living room window/balcony, look out see if there are any corners from the building or cutting into your home from across the building etc. - Any major roads that cuts towards your building etc. Often, it is the House which has major leaks that will adversely affect your home. Understanding what could be the problems can help you know how you can attempt to correct it so as to create an environment which you and your family will feel most comfortably. These are the general steps that you should check on your home to ensure that everything will work in your favour. Hope that helps.

Dear Mei Ling, Please note that analysis done here are based on information provided and on Eight House so not every possible analysis may have been considered. However, based on the Eight House, North is Longevity for yourself and Irritation for your husband. Still generally ideal.But the house must contain a bedroom which is more suitable to your husband. For a more suitable direction would probably be South-West, where your husband will be having a better facing, and yourself Irritation might be better. This is because it is often good to give the breadwinner the better house suitability then the spouse. So generally, quite ok. Usually North and South facing house will seldom go wrong as you avoid the Sun at East or West which are often considered Sha Qi, especially for West house. You should still do other checks to ensure that the plot and external factors are ok before you buy it. As mentioned, whatever advise here is given based on limited information provided only. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Generally, what you cannot see no longer becomes a threat. So if you based on this concept, whatever you can do to make sure that you cannot directly the poison arrow is considered a solution to the problem. Usually, for example a fence or a row of plants that can help to block the view are good solutions for an external posion arrow. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, There are two levels of suitability which you can check:- 1. Eight House - Which shows you which of the 4 directions is good or bad. 2. Ba Zi Element - ie weak Wood is favourable for Water (North etc). For house direction, in either case, if you already choose a house which isn't suitable for you, there is no way you can force the house to suit you unless you move to a house that have the direction favourable for you. But ideally, if a house isn't favourable to you and as long as it isn't your death or disaster, then it isn't too bad yet. However, if the house is considered death or disaster, then in the long run you will benefit from moving to a more suitable house. So the only way you can attempt to improve the luck is to fix or correct all other areas. I mean though suitability is one factor, there are still ways to improve your luck, ie getting a career which is favourable for you, or ensuring your colours are favourable to enhance your ba zi etc. This will then help to offset luck which you may not be able to fully benefit from a less suitable house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Tim, So such sectors must be corrected to avoid any potential problems. However, for most modern house, the better cure is to ensure that the area is decorated with more Metal influence (ie white colour decor, with more metal furniture etc.) As for the illness issues, besides such cures, it may also be good to have like the modern technology an HEPA air cleaner which can help to reduce germs and further reduce illness. It is just like even if the sector is suitable for you, but the sector can still have very bad feng shui. So the bad stars still have to corrected. Hope that helps.

Hi Anon, 1. If you are referring to two person say having the same element (ie weak water), then the answer is yes it is absolutely possible. In fact it is pretty common. Birth element can only have 10 different possibilities from weak/strong combination of 5 different elements. So very common. However, though both might have the same birth element, the ba zi luck will be different for the two person unless, the two person is about 60 years apart where there might be a possibility that the same birth chart might occur but very rare. 2. It is very common that two person will have opposite Eight House Chart. ie West is Excellent for one but Spook for the other. The way to go about doing this is to follow this simple give and take rule:- a. Ensure the Breadwinner have a suitable house facing (ie Excellent, Prosperity, Longevity, Health), and if possible the same house facing should not fall under your spouse Death or Disaster sector. Spook and Irritation is acceptable. b. Since the breadwinner has luck from the house, then ensure the spouse get a slightly better room / bedroom sector (ie Excellent, Prosperity, Longevity, Heath), and if possible the breadwinner's bedroom sector should avoid Death or Disaster sector. Spook and Irritation is acceptable. c. In choosing who should sleep on the Left side of the bed or Right side of the bed. You use the same concept. Try to let the each sleep closer to their best sector, ie say for the breadwinner Left side is Disaster while, Right side is closer to Prosperity, then it is more ideal to sleep on the right side. As long as you follow this rule, you should be fine. This is call give and take. Since breadwinner get a better house suitability, the spouse to get a better bedroom to compensate for the lack of luck from the house. Hope that helps.

Dear Gustavo, Sorry to learn about your plight. What I can do for you is provide you with free complimentary paid credits to some of the useful paid tools so that you can try to make sense about your current situation. Then maybe you will be able to see what could possibly be wrong and try to fix them or at least work to improving it. Feng Shui is by no means a miracle cure all. How quickly if any will it help to improve is determined by how bad your situation is. You must understand that every person has a few luck factors influencing your overall luck. 1. Heaven Given Luck - which is luck that is given to you when you are born. This is luck that is supposed to be pre-destined for you. Often when some people are in though people it is quite common to find that 10-year period pretty inauspicious which means luck not with you. So in his area, the paid ba zi report for example can help you give you some insights and then you can know what elements favour you so that you can try to improve yourself with the career choices, colour scheme as well as a suiable house facing which you can attempt to draw luck from. If luck here is ok, then it is very likely the Earth Luck which is causing adverse issues to your current problem. 2. Earth Luck (your Home) - You Home is the most important luck which can adversely influence over the Heaven Given Luck. Most of the time when there are problems, it is usually because:- a. the House isn't suitable to the breadwinner (ie. Eight House Report) b. the house has bad feng shui (ie. Flying Star Report) c. an interior shapes and form (ie toilet in the center of the house, or major Qi leak from main door directly out a window) d. an external shapes and form factor where three is a Poison Arrow cutting into your apartment from a building across. So I can give you free paid Ba Zi (to help identify problem 1) and Flying Star (to help identify problem 2b) and you can use the free Eight House in the members area (to help identify problem 2a). As for the problem 2c. Check for major flaws like:- - main door enter and directly opposite the house is a window which means Qi flow into the main door and directly out without actually circulating into the house. - toilet located directly in the centerpoint of the house - Odd shaped apartment ie triangle shaped or missing corner As for the problem 2d. Simple check for flaws like:- - example is to stand at your main door or living room window/balcony, look out see if there are any corners from the building or cutting into your home from across the building etc. - Any major roads that cuts towards your building etc. Often, it is the House which has major leaks that will adversely affect your home. Understanding what could be the problems can help you know how you can attempt to correct it. Some major flaws cannot be corrected, so you just have to make sure you can fix up all the other minor flaws so as to improve the overall luck as much as you can. I have updated your member account with 1 x Ba Zi Premium and 1 x Flying Star report. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Nitin, You will have to find out what might be the potential problems which might be affecting your situation. Sometimes, it might be because of Feng Shui sometimes it can also be others issues (ie. work attitude /simply insufficent career advancement opportunities.) In terms of Feng Shui, you must identify where is the root of your problems:- 1. Are you having bad luck because your given luck (ie. Heaven Luck - Ba Zi) is in a very bad period. 2. Or is it your home (earth luck) which is bad for you. ie Home not suitable for you (ie Eight House - Disaster), or that the house simply have very bad luck etc. 3. Or is it you are in a career which is your unfavourable element (ie weak water person in a Fire (sales) career which is not favourable due to water being too weak. There are many issues which may be explain why you arehaving financial issues. So you do have identify the root cause of your problems, only then can you know how to correct it. Otherwise, no one will be able to advice you on how to improve your situation. We have made so many free tools on our Member Area website for everyone to use. So make use of them to help troubleshoot what might be potentially wrong. Only then will you know whether it is your home that needs fixing, or maybe need to move to another career etc. If it is not feng shui, then you should evaluate yourself. ie do you have the adequate skills for the job, are you working hard enough to get your boss attention or appreciation, etc. Hope that helps.

Hi Anon, Yes, Wood by default destroy Earth. This is what we call the destructive cycle of the five element. However, there is a big difference between Weak or Strong Earth. a weak Earth is where you need Fire and Earth to make your weak Earth stronger. However, for a Strong Earth, it means you already have too much of Fire and Earth. Thus, whatever helps you reduce the excessive Earth is good for you. So Wood and Metal helps to control the Strong Earth. So that is why for you Wood becomes your favourable element. East (Wood) and SE (Wood) is a favourable element for a Strong Earth. There is nothing wrong about it. You just have to understand the weak and strong nature of a particular element to get this fundamental correct. Hope that helps.

Hi Anon, Generally, Binomials is mathematical away define the Heaven Stem (HS) and Earthly Branch (EB)relationship. Just like the different combination of the HS and EB which gives you 60 unique combinations. This is one of the unique interaction of two different HSand EB. It is quite useful in many areas where you need to make sense of the general element of the HS & EB, used in main chart and all luck pillars so fairly useful. Hope that helps.

Hi Anon, 1. If you take the entrance of the building, you will be doing a feng shui for the entire building. This means that you will be doing the feng shui for tall offices within the building itself. Which is a larger scale of analysis typically used for when you are planning to build the entire building itself. 2. Each office unit within the building does have it's own feng shui, so you should be looking at the individual feng shui of the office based on the main door or office frontage. Since your aim is to check on your own office, then you should point 2. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui

Hi Fenger, In our Traditional Chinese custom, usually when there is a death in the family, most people will not wish to hold any marriage at least not after 100 days. It is generally considered inauspicious to do so. The actual length of period that most people will avoid having a marriage in the family really depends on your own traditional believes / superstitions. There are some people who will avoid having a marriage for a year, some even 3 years. So it is very difficult to put an actual figure as to the actual length that you must have before any marriage is held. It all depends on the individual. This has more to do with Chinese Believes and Supersitions. Take the Westerners for example, they can even get married a day/week after the funeral procession. It does not bother them at all. Which is why I say that this has to do with Chinese Believes and Superstitions. But for practical reaons, I think in modern society, no one will want to wait 1 or 3 years before getting married. So normally, it is quite acceptable to the Chinese that as long as it is after 100 days, it should be ok have a marriage. But ultimately, it depends on you and your family (especially your elders like your parents/grandparents on how may days apart before they are comfortable to have a marriage.) Hope that helps.

Dear Carmen, Each are different analysis, depending on what you are looking for each analysis is used for different purpose. I would recommend that you follow these rules:- 1. Check out your ba zi element, find out what direction you house faces ie North facing house is Water element, if water element is your favourable, then it is suitable to your ba zi. Even if not so suitable, as long as it is still your favourable element as in second check should still be ok. 2. Check your 4 good & 4 bad direction (eight house report), if North is one of your favourable element, then it is a suitable house for you. Else it isn't. If isn't, ensure that it is not Death or Disaster, if it is then you will find better luck if you move out to a more suitable house. Generally, if these two conditions are ok, then I see no much reason to move out unlessyou have other major feng shui flaws. These are two ways of checking if your house is suitable to you or not. Of course, there should be other issues to consider, but these helps you know if a house is suitable to you or not. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Dear Desmond, One must always realise that Feng Shui is not a miracle cure for all sorts of problems. Feng Shui main goal is to attempt to create a nice environment that everyone will feel comfortable in it. Once you feel comfortable with the environment thing should go much better for you. In terms of an Office Environment, there are a lot more factors which is beyond Feng Shui. Such as Boss and Employee relationship. There is no amount of Feng Shui that can change the attitude of a boss to an employee. This is more towards Human Luck or Human to Human relationship or even Employee to Employee relationship. I mean if you do your job well, and the boss still picks on you, there isn't much you can do. This has to do with the boss attitude towards you. You may have unknownly offended him without you knowing or another employee who has better relationship with your boss could be adding flame to your situation. Frankly, there is no way Feng Shui can help you here. Probably, looking towards another better employment would be a long term solution. If you work very hard but still unable to gain success. It could be that your current job environment isn't suitable for you, so you are unable to get any success. So in such situation a change in environment can help you. But ultimately still depends entirely on yourself and your work attitude. In any case, it is always good to get into your boss good books. Hope that helps.

Dear Catherine, Frankly, in terms of shapes and form, sleeping with a window behind you isn't as good as sleeping with a wall behind you. So if you only have this two choices, I would say that sleeping with the wall behind you is much better even though the wall is saeparating the toilet. My only question here is that is the toilet bowl located just behind the toilet or on the opposite wall. Basically, the major issue about the toilet is where the toilet bowl location is. If it is direction behind you, then it isn't that good. If it is the shower or basin, then not as bad. But again, it really ultimately depends on whether you have other options of placing the bed.Bed placement should take the following priority:- 1. It should follow the shapes and form placement with greatest priority. Meaning should be located where you can see the door and window and back with a solid wall. 2. Only when it conforms to the shapes and form, then only then can you attempt to see which is a better sleeping direction or position, so that you can see who to sleep on which side. Other considerations like bed facing toilet door or toilet bowl located direction behind the bed. These should be avoided if possible. But unfortunately, due to many houses built now a days being so small, it is very difficult for you to really have much of a choice. So if you do not have a choice, then really there is very little you can do about it also. Thus, it is essential that when you first buy the place, all these issues should be considered. Only then can you avoid such a situation. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Vincent, Frankly, I got so confused with your description. One moment you mentioned that your bedroom is in the West so that sector has star 5-1-2 (ie Mountain-Base/Time-Water). Later, you mentioned that you are sleeping pointing in the East direction which I presume you mean that your bedroom room though in the West sector of the house, but you are sleeping facing East. If so, why are you bring the Flying Star star East sector 1-6-6 (ie. Mountain-Base/Time-Water) information into consideration? Sleeping facing East direction does not mean that you have the 1-6-6 influence in the sector. Your bedroom sector since you mentioned is located in the West part of the apartment will have Star 5-1-2, which isn't good as there will be lots of sickness and misfortune. In addition, your sleeping postion is East which is Death which makes it further in auspicious. So, point here is that you must balance up the inauspicious West sector, and if your bed position is not changeable, then ensure that it at least follows the shapes and form concept. But I really can't say for sure as I am not sure what is West direction under your Eight House. If it is under your Excellent, Longivity, Prosperity or Health, then it really does not matter if your sleeping direction is Death, as you already get the suiability from the West section being your auspicious sector. However, if your West sector is again one of your bad direction, then it will not be a suitable room for you. But regardless of whether the bedroom is suitable for you or not, having stars 5 and 2 in that sector isn't good. So you need to balance up the sector whether or not the sector suits you or not. Else whoever stays i that bedroom will have lots of health or misfortunes. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Dear Anon, This depends really on how far apart are the two doors. If quite a distance still acceptable. If too close, the reason behind it is that conflicts will tend to arise. It sounds to me like it is a house on the opposite side of the road? Then not an issue. You could always have like some plants or fence that help to block the direct view of the door to door. But like mentioned, if it is a distance away not really an issue. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Catherine, You need to get this issue right here.There is two direction suitability. 1. Eight House suitability ie North - Excellent / Longevity etc. 2. Ba Zi Element ie North - Water etc. The two theories each have its own purpose. Direction element is used on a much larger defination ie facing direction of a House ie faces North so considered a North element house. Whereas, for eight house this is more suitabled to apply in a smaller scale, ie facing direction of your study table / bed, or selecting the best bedroom. The two theories may conflict, but if you apply them as stated above (ie eight house for suitability and small scale division of sectors, while ba zi for general broad scale direction). Then you won't go wrong. The ideal best direction is where both theories tell you the same thing that it is auspicious. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, The problem here is that Eight House analysis helps to tell you whether it is suitable or not. There is very little you can do to correct any issue about this kind of suitability issue. What I can say for this is that:- 1. As long as a house isn't Death or Disaster, then it isn't too bad. Else franly, the only way you can really expect to gain much better luck from such a situation is to in the long term move to a more suitable home to get a quantum leap in feng shui. 2. If your home like inyour case Spook or Irritation isn't really so bad. What you can do is ensure that you have another area which help to compensate for this problem. Remember thatassessing feng shui is just like taking an exam. Failing one question does not mean the you fail the entire exam. As long as you still are able to pass other question, or in this case fix up all other possible leaks, then you can help to offset this one failure. 3. So my best advice is to fix up all other leaks. ie making sure that you locate your bedroom in a more auspicious sector of the house or that you enhance your ba zi element with more favourable elements or fix up any flying star house inbalances. As long as you do that, it will help to offset this not so suitable house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Cilla, Not having luck with you isn't really that bad. Except that it means that you will have to work extra harder in order to achieve any success as compared to another person with luck with him during the same period. However, ultimately, you still have to ensure that you have a good business model. As no amount of luck can help you if you do not have a good business model. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Hi Anon, Unfortunately, the better placement of a bed position can only be done if you have the options to. In your case, you do not have much of a choice. A bed facing the toilet door isn't really that bad. Most of the time most houses are so small now a days, that you get this almost all the time. As our home toilet is usually not as dirty as a public toilet, frankly this is a minor issue compared to other issues. So my advice is just keep to your current best position, and keep the toilet cover down and/or toilet door close when not in use. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Hi Seco, Congratulations on your new home Yes, if all the changes are done for this period 7 house, it should change it to a period 8. To further make the change effective, you should hold like a house warming party to help make ensure that the house is changed to a period 8 house instead of retaining the period 7 influence. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear David, Basically, you cannot just choose which period is better and take that analysis. The period is there for a purpose. You need to specify which period the house was built. And that will give you the analysis for the house number. What you need to remember here is that a house number is supposed to help you to see which unit is better. This is especially for units of the same layout plan but located on different levels. It does nothing more than this. The results of the analysis isn't very important as it is there only to show how good or bad the analysis is. Hope that helps.
