Dear Hoa Luong, Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Ross, Frankly, a lot of sites which you now see with Time Zone factors are actually created by Modern Feng Shui Masters. In fact, there was no such thing in traditional calcuation. The only true way you should apply timezone is not just by GMT factor, but truely to take the true location factor (ie long. and lat.). However, even this is very dangerous as if you just get one degree off, your analysis will be completely off by a great deal. From our experience, we find that you shouldn't waste too much time to factor in these GMT changes. Why? 1. Most concepts are truely based on like YEAR of birth which by itself is already flawed in that it does not consider day or month of birth. So such concept like compass school are one such which thus give you only 4 good and 4 bad directions. 2. Even for Ba Zi, though ti consider day and month, ultimately, the accuracy of the ba zi analysis is based on the month and year, which thus already give lots of variation for errors. Thus, even ba zi, if you do not use hour of birth, your chart can still be fairly accurate. 3. Also, what you need to also understand is that many of these concepts are just one piece of theory out of several thousands of concept. Often the most important factor whether a house is good or not lies with the Shapes and Form of the external environment. So Eight House for example is used as a a foundation to let you know which direction is most suitable etc. This is one small factor out of the entire analysis. 4. Often it is important to focus on a global picture of your house feng shui. When you do this, you will understand that Eight House is such a small factor in your house analysis. 5. We have done so many cases such that we find that frankly, there is no need to make any alteration to the analysis based on GMT, in fact it is much more accurate then factoring GMT or location factor for the very fact that one small error in the location factor makes the analysis way off the original analysis. In addition, GMT nowadays are so simplified, that it is no longer accurate indication at all. So our advice is for you to just use the analysis based on your local time. DO NOT apply any location factor into consideration. These will only make your analyses less accurate. So if you use our tools, just use your normal local time. This will work much better in the end result. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Gemini, If one goes strictly by the five element concept: 1. 8 goldfishes plus 1 black 8 represents earth, 1 represent water There is no real beneficial relationship here. 8 Earth is then exhausted by the goldfish (metal), and water later exhaust the metal. Though, it forms Earth - No major significance. Often based on phonetic sounding, 9 or 8 are better sounding. 10 sometimes is referred as 1 and 0 and sometimes people don't like zero. 3. Under period 7, often feng shui masters would recommend 7 + 1. Where 7 is weak metal, 1 is water. And this is a harmonious productive combination. 4. However, under period 8, you might like to consider 6 + 1, which is 6 Strong Metal, 1 is water. This is harmonious productive cycle. It is often better to have a productive sequence then a destructive sequence. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anooja, Frankly, there are many concepts in Feng Shui, so it is ultimately important to understand which one is more important for what situation. 1. Most important for a house is to fix all poison arrows (sha qi) usually the shapes and form concept. 2. Try to balance up all Flying Star inbalances in the house. 3. Try to ensure that colour scheme are suitable to person sleeping in that bedroom, but at the same time colours to be extra careful are like Wood / Earth colours which may inadvertantly activate the bad flying stars. 4. Of course it is ideal to harmonise all the cures, but certain cures takes priority helps you know when to do what. If you follow the above, then cures shouldn't be too difficult. Hope that helps.

Dear Joan, Yes, the thick headboard/cushion sounds much better than the existing setup. So by all means go for it. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Agnes, Unfortunately, we do not practise fixed bagua template or often called Black Hat Sect (Tantric). As this is a modern invention and not traditional Feng Shui. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Based on the Holy Trinity of Luck, Man (Human) Luck is easier to work on. ie moresocialisation, getting opportunities to meet potential partyetc. This is much better then depending on those items you mentioned, as they are more for decorative purpose. There is no such luck item that will guarantee you romance. You will have to make that effort to give yourself the opportunity for any romance to even start. Just like in ba zi or any romance analysis. Even if you are supposed to have a romance luck say this 10-year period, but if you hardly meet enough person, you are less likely to find someone which you feel you want to live for the rest of your life. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi Anon, This isa common situation for most people. However, this isn't the end of the world. 1. What you should be doing is to ensure that the house should suit the breadwinner (your husband). This is because the breadwinner provides for the family, so making sure that the breadwinner fits and suits is most important. 2. So for the bedroom you (the spouse) should then have a higher priority for a suitable bedroom while your husband can have a less suitable bedroom. Also, if possible not to have Death and Disaster if possible. This is how you give and take. Breadwinner takes priority for the main door facing, while the spouse will take better suitability to the bedroom. 3. Once you get a homethat generally fit most of requirements, then you can later worry about maximising other luck factors where possible. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear William, Yes, this means that you lack lots of Metal, and because you are a Strong Fire, Metal represents your wealth luck etc. So you should be working your way to improving these few areas of your life. Particilarly, having more Metal related in as many part of your life. (ie your home, your career etc). Your Home ie a suitable facing direction:- Earth - North-East/South-West Water - North Metal - North-West/West Your Bedroom decor ie shades of colours and furniture colours:- Earth - yellow Water - blue/black/gray Metal - white/gold Your personal objects / dressing ie shades of colours:- Earth - yellow Water - blue/black/gray Metal - white/gold Your career ie a Job favourable for you are:- Earth - Customer Relations, Constuctions, Games, etc Water - Advertising, Arts, Communications, etc Metal - Accountancy, Banking, Investment, etc People around you ie your family your friends etc. weak Earth, Strong Water person The more of these favourable elements you have, the more balanced you will be and thus, things will tend to favour you more. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Nicole, Glad that you enjoyed the books. You can read more information from this two reference links:- 1. How to use an ordinary compass http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm 2. How to draw an Eight House Chart http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm More importantly the facing direction rather than the main door itself. So that you can apply the two compass school concepts (eight house and flying star). Please refer to reference 1. and 2. above on this. An ordinary compass will do. Please let me know if you are still unclear. Simply provide us with your layout and we can assist you on it. We just need the North (0 degree) marking on the layout. After you found the marking, you can then superimpose the eight house or flying star chart onto your house layout. If you can scan or fax it over to us, we can assist on you to find the centerpoint and divide the sector for you. For international fax, please add country code +65 before our fax number 6482-0570. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Janice, 1. The Eight Aspiration is a static template which is based on the bagua and therefore least personalised to any one person. 2. The Eight House at least personalises to the year of birth of a person. Thus, there is a certain level of personalisation. 3. You should always follow priority, ie Eight House before Eight Aspiration. So only after you confirm it matches the Eight House, then you can fine tune further with the Eight Aspiration. 4. Just like all theories, you have to know what each is for and apply accordingly. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi, For sleeping position, of course it would be ideal if you can sleep in the direction of the good direction. But sometimes you can't. So most of the time as long as the bedroom sector is suitable for you, you already getting luck from a suitable sector. In addition, the shape and form placement of the bed is sometimes more important than the sleeping sector. The only time you can try to get everything done right is when you first renovate the room as only then do you have the luxuary of setting things right. Anyway, since you cannot do anything here, then what you can do is try to fix up or correct other flaws so as to compensate for this problem. Remember, that there are a lots of other factors that will affect your overall luck. So failing one question out of a 40 question will not mean you will get bad luck if you still score very good on other questions. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Thank

Dear Joan, The free report does not show the house of life and house of conception, but it does not mean that it is not being analysed. In fact all the analysis in the paid report is applied to the free report, just that we do not show it. So what this means is that whatever results you get from the free report ie Strong Water will be exactly what you will get in the paid report. Just that you will not see the detailed analysis in the paid reports. House of Life and House of Conception gives your ba zi chart additional chances for combination and clashes which will greatly influence whether your chart is weak or strong. Usually house of Life tells you information about how strong or weak your personal life chart will be. While House of Conception focus for child birth for the Female, and female relationship for the Male. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Joan, 1. Ba Zi and Eight House each have different focus:- - Eight House you must remember focus only on the year of birth. - While ba zi takes into account the day, month, year of birth. 2. So generally the ba zi is more accurate in most aspect. However, eight house is still equally important for suitability assessment. While Ba Zi is to attempt to try to improve your heaven luck. 3. Usually for house suitability, we still prefer to ensure that the eight house does not fall under death or disaster. Though this analysis only focus on YEAR of birth, it is still fairly accurate. But sometimes analysis from this will not necessary match Ba zi element. So we always compromise by saying ensure eight house does not show Death or Disaster. While ba zi, try to use it more on a broader scope ie using it to say you should stay more in the East coast of your country etc. 4. So use the ba zi element and as long as it does not fall within your death and disaster sector it is still acceptable. Having a house not being your ba zi element isn't too bad as you can still improve your heaven luck from suitable career etc. But having a house which is Death or Disaster, you cannot solve it unless you move to a more suitable house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Lalarukh, Feng Shui has to do with preventive situations. Most likely it is better to seek proper medical expertise in the current situation. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Kianwatt, The first two looks better then the last two. As the last two can sometimes be looked as a sunset, so for living room probably you want to have something which is more bright and pleasant. The 1st picure more more like a Mountain Water scenery. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Karen, This has more to with commonsense than feng shui. For example, here one would certainly wish that they stay in a concrete reinforce-cement home. This is because when the washing machine spins it does shake. If one house is made of wooden planks or thin gypsum wooden walls, then sometimes the washing machine may vibrate and this vibration can be felt at the opposite wall plus the noise can be heard. So the only solution is try to place the washing machine too close to the wall. Not much else you can do unless there is space elsewhere that you can relocate your washing machine. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi Anon, Here is that is Fire will exhaust star 4, and destroy Metal at same time. So this is appropriate to create an element balance between all ths stars since 2 (Earth), 7 (Metal), toilet (water flow), 4 wood, plus fire gives you a perfect five element flow:- Earth -> Metal -> Water -> Wood -> Fire -> Earth. Fire can be represented by colours red or by having a light source. So keeping the place bright or having the red colour will help exhaust the sector. But anyway, since it is the toilet sector is it not a very major concern as having such stars in the bedroom or main door sector. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Oliver, Frankly, it is not a good idea. This is because, even when you want to place a pair of lions even at the gate of the home. It is preferred to use two friendly, plum and smiling face lions as opposed to fierce ones. It will definately look very awful to place two cross sword which symbolises an "X" just outside your bedroom window. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Guanawan, Careers now-a-days are hard to determine exactly what element they belong to, due to multiple skills involved. Last time, a butcher is a butcher. But generally, for fire element here are just a few list of careers/business and it's relationship to five element based on our Five element section in the Applied Feng Shui ebook. " Chemical process, Fashion, Housewife, Law (prosecution), Livestock, Marketing (sales), Oil, Public Relations, Sales " Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Daranee, Frankly, it is perfectly ok since if one look at a it from a proper perspective, it does wonders for human or man factors. Although, the text book case of this situation being inappropriate under earth luck, but if it truely comforts your parent. Then this is perfectly fine. In fact, human or man luck factors often overrights any earth luck factors or feng shui. Therefore, do let your father have his way since it truely brings him comfort for the time being. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee
