No matter how good your heaven luck maybe, if you stay in a inauspicious house, you will be greatly influenced by the house. ie. a person who has excellent Feng Shui during the age of 30-50. But during his time, he moved into a new home. However, when checked with the Flying Star (Xuan Kong) Feng Shui, the house shows of a one with extremely bad feng shui. Thus, this person will not enjoy his favourable luck as defined in his Heaven Luck, but rather he will encounter series of problems such as Illness, Career problems etc. ie. a person who is not enjoying a good feng shui during the age of 30-50. But during this period, he is staying in an house with very good wealth collection. He will be able to compensate his inauspicious wealth from the Luck of the House. Thus, he will do much better than in the 1st example. Thus, choosing a good house is always very important. It is always important to note that for a house, besides having a good Xuan Kong Feng Shui and external shapes and form influence. A house should also be a suitable house to the person based on his Eight House directions (ie. Excellent direction for main door). It is no point for a person to stay in a very good feng shui house but the house does not suit that person. He will not be able to maximise his luck collection with such a combination.

Dear Anon, However, the Gua Number 5 and 0 often have to be related to another one of the Eight Trigrams depending on Male or Female. Thus, if you use the Ba Zi report, you will find the actual Gua type being shown. If you want to know about the Gua Number, use the Gua Number report in the Members Area. That will identify your Gua Number as 5 which means your luck number is also related to 5. We have our reasons here for doing and numbering the Kua Type as 1 to 9 where 5 is missing, instead of 1 to 8. Please note here that our online reports system has been already online for 5 years. It is a system which has been extensive tested and used by us personally. It uses a different system compared to the forum. So a bug in the forum DOES NOT affect the Reports website. In fact our whole website is fully modular, meaning that a failure in any one section of the website does not affect the other. There was a bug in the FORUM, simply because the NEW forum interface you are using is COMPLETELY written by me from scratch (last week) instead of using the original one. So when we launched it several days back, there was a few intergration problem, thus resulting some initial difficulties for users to properly login as their own user account, instead of a Guest user. However, as you can know by now the forum is working perfectly with many of the interface cleaned up. The new FORUM gives you more space since no frame is used. And it is more informative, much easier and contains many cool features in addition to the old frame version. Plus, it allows us to customise the forum even more than the original one.

Never buy a house with a toilet located at the center influence of the home. The center of the house is where all the flux of energy comes together. And if the toilet is located at the center of the home. Your wealth will leak out of the home. This will result in the family facing financial difficulties.

In order to analyse whether a name is good or nor, you will need to often use the strokes of the name combination. Usually, it is best to use the Traditional Form of the Name. From there, usually a calculation is done and you will be able to break down the Tian-Di-Ren Ge (Heaven-Earth-Human factors in the name). There are usually 5 factors. They usually can be either Auspicious or Inauspicious. The better names usually have 4/5 or 5/5 auspicious Tian-Di-Ren Ge.

In order to determine the best names, there are 3 areas to look at:- a. Suitability of the Name to the Ba Zi b. The Sounding of the Name c. The meaning of the Name It is ideal to have a name which fulfill all the above three areas. So often, we use the strokes of each chinese character to find the combinations of strokes which produces the best dates. ie. 12-13-4 where Surname 12, Middle Name is 13 and Last Name is 4. Usually such a combination will produce different breakdown of Tian-Di-Ren Ge (or Heaven-Earth-Human Luck). Different Five Element breakdown and different Name Luck Periods. From these various areas, one will be able to see if a name is good or not.

A person's Name is often the name which is most called. Thus, is often said to be the most important thing for a person. Thus, choosing a Chinese Name is one of the best way to correct try to increase whatever you lack in your Heaven Luck Ba Zi. Thus, most people when born often likes to choose a good chinese name for the baby. A good and suitable name will often compensate a person's Ba Zi Heaven Luck so that that person can continously have elements he or she lacks at any one time.

Generally, Ba Zi has two different aspects. Ba Zi is used to determine your Heavenly Luck so as to match your Heavenly Luck to your Earth Luck. It allows you to personalise each person to your environment. Ba Zi is also for Fortune Telling etc. ie. Trying to predict a person's fortune. However, there is a always a danger here of this AUTO-SUGGESTION. ie. Imagine if a Fortune Teller tells you that you a encounter a disaster next week. It will normally happen because your believe it so much that you yourself make it happen. So there is such a danger, which is why is it often better not knowing much about such situation. Also, usually if the fortune teller is so good, he would have used it to unlock his own fortune rather than just telling someone else fortune. Thus, Ba Zi is best used not so much as a Fortune Telling, but rather to deduce a person's luck. Knowing how your given heaven luck is charted, you will be able to know when are the lowest luck period in your life, when are your best. This will then allow you to be able to take extra precaution or maximise your luck. Thus, Ba Zi is often used in Feng Shui to determine your Birth Element (ie weak Water, Strong Wood etc). It is also used in Feng Shui to identify how your luck is for any one period so as to allow you to make some adjustment to your life.

Ba Zi is able to help you determine what element is your wealth represented. Knowing what your wealth elements are you will then be able to enhance your surrounding to improve your Wealth luck. ie. Strong Fire person's wealth luck is Metal Strong Water person's wealth luck is Fire Knowing what elements represents your wealth, you will be able to enhance your own wealth by say decorating your bedroom or office in with a decor with such colours. Or simply having a career which is represented by your Career with Wealth.

Enhancing your Ba Zi through your career is one why to improve your Ba Zi luck since each career can also be broken down into different elements. ie. IT related industry - Metal / Water Health related industry - Wood Sales related industry - Fire So having careers which are favourable to your favourable elements will help you to improve your ba zi luck. Each person has 3 types of career categories:- a. Career with Wealth b. Career with Power and Authority c. Suitable Career So it gives you an indication as to what kinds of industry would be most favourable for you. Career with Wealth and Career with Power and Authority requires a Strong person. Thus, he or she must have sufficient favourable elements before being able to benefit from such a career.

Colours is one of the best way you can make use of to improve your Heaven Luck. This ie be colours of any object is often one of the best way of defining the general element. Five Element and Colour ======================= Metal - White/Gold Water - Blue/Black/Gray Wood - Green/Brown Fire - Red Earth - Yellow Or any shades related to the above main colours. EXAMPLE ======= 1. weak Wood Favourable: Water (blue/black/gray), Wood (green/brown) Unfavourable: Metal (white/gold), Fire (red) Unfavourable Wealth: Earth (yellow) 2. Strong Wood Favourable: Fire (red), Metal (white/gold) Unfavourable: Water (blue/black/gray) Favourable Wealth: Earth (yellow) Thus, for a weak Wood person, he can say drive a Green colour colour, decorate his or her bedroom in Blue/Black/Gray etc. This will then make him stonger and thus increase his weak luck.

Dear David, A person's favourable element is never just one element. A Strong Fire has 3 different favourable elements:- 1. Earth (yellow) 2. Water (blue/black/gray) 3. Metal (white/gold) also known as the wealth element. So in fact you can use any of the above 3 different elements in different parts of your life to enhance your luck. Even for your Five Element, there are different percentage for each element so sometimes certain element that you have too much you do not want to have too much more, instead it is often better to have a balance element. ie. 5 element each broken in percentage whereby all elements should try to achieve 20%. So those, which you have too much you want to try to reduce by adding more of the elements you lack. So there is no one element which is best for you. Thus, you have a freedom of applying feng shui to your life. As mentioned, a person's luck is influence by:- 1. His own personal luck, having more favourable colour clothings helps in day to day affair. (Tian Cai / Yun - Heaven Wealth Luck) 2. The house is the next most important factor, having a favourable house will being you most luck compared to anything else. (Di Cai / Yun - Earth Wealth Luck) 3. A persons career is also another factor which affects his (Ren Cai / Yun - Human Wealth Luck) 4. A persons family - ie the parents, spouse and children each have a different element. ie a Strong fire, weak water person etc. So having a person of a favourable element is helps you. This is also the same in the office environment (where working with favourable element person will often be more successful then working with an unfavourable element person.). (Ren Cai / Yun - Human Wealth Luck) 5. Your Chinese Name - a person's most called item which also suppose to help your ba zi Heaven Luck. So these are the many areas which you should be trying to increase elements in different areas such as:- ie a Strong Fire person, staying in an East facing house (Wood), Having a career in IT (Metal), while having a Spouse (weak Earth). Driving a Blue colour car (Water). This is how to a achieve and maximise luck. It has nothing to do with much physical items such as jade etc. I mean if you like jade and it makes you feel good, by all means go ahead and get it. However, in terms of Feng Shui point of view, it is not so much of such physical items that you should be going after, but rather trying to maximise your Heaven, Earth and Human luck. And among the 3 the Earth luck your home is ultimately the most important factor as it can superceed the Heaven Luck and even Human Luck. Many times, lots of Feng Shui practitioner / masters always practice Human Luck (ie buy this and that so call 'feng shui item' like a $888 3 legged toad etc). However, these items does not give you magical or miracle improvement in luck. ie buying it does not mean you earn 10 times back. Spending more time with your family and children (ie education them, will result in them being able to lead a good life and thus you will enjoy life later on from your children) - Thus, earning gains from your Human Luck (from a filial children who looks after his parents). Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear David, Yes, you are a Strong Fire. So you need to have more Earth. Colours is the best way you can apply the five element to your life because cloths which cover more than 33.3% of your body, as well as any object is thus the best choice for applying feng shui. The animal sign is another issue such as when looking for animal signs that clash, however, that is usually used in compatibility. Whereas Five Element give you a broad way of applying Feng Shui. ie. Five Element can also be applied to the House ie North is Water house, South is Fire house etc. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear David, Yes, apologise there was some bug in our new forum interface login. But we have fixed it earlier today. This would have affected users trying to login but only given Guest user access rights. Thus the ideal element to help you is Earth. Followed by Water. Then by Metal. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, In a recent upgrade of the Members Area, the Free flying star analysis report on the website is no longer limited in anyway. Although, the support for it will still be limited. As we do not have the time to explain to each user who post us the full chart and expect us to explain it. A full version is already available which does a comprehensive analysis, where Cecil and myself can then focus not on the calculation but rather the actual application of the report. The free report will then allow you to make your own conclusion on your house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Users, We had reviewed all Free Reports in the Members Area and had revised the free reports as follows:- 1. BA ZI ELEMENT UPGRADED TO TRUE BA ZI ELEMENT ================================================ In the past due to limited server processor, no computation has been done to the BA ZI to determine further if it is weak or strong. Given that 80% of most analysis ended up as weak. We thus treat all analysis as weak analysis. With greater server processing power, we have now decided to upgrade this report to the TRUE BA ZI ELEMENT REPORT. Which does no longer limits the analysis. This also means that there is now no limit on the other analysis which is depended upon this ba zi basic analysis. 2. FLYING STAR CHART ==================== In the past we had for some time limit the chart details of the flying star report as many users abuse our generousity by extracting the full chart and posting it to us expecting us to do a review for them. However, in recent revamp, we had also decided to release the full chart to the public. However, we still stand by the rule of not supporting users who ask us to review the chart. We are doing this to continue to allow us to provide free analysis to those who need our help. 3. AUSPICIOUS DATES ==================== The auspicious dates analysis allows full analysis of 1st 10 days of each month, so that any users can find out if there are any auspicious dates for them for the 1st 10 days. It is also not limited by the weak element limitation. 4. BA ZI COMPARISON =================== Ba Zi comparison is also now free of weak element limitations. So you can use this report to find out how to improve relationship between each other. ............................................................ Basically, now all Free reports are 100% free WITHOUT ANY LIMITATIONS except that they are less detailed and lack comprehensive support as compared to the paid analysis. We are also working to improve the Member Area so that our knowledge base support for each report will be tightly integrated with the Reports. Also, the new Member Area will be designed without any Frames, so as to make the entire website more seemless with each other. Hope you enjoy the various updates. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear David, In the past, all free ba zi reports had ONE limitation. That is the elements analysed are not COMPLETE (thus, it is done on the assumption that the element is WEAK). This has been always highlighted in the report due to lack of sufficient server processing power. Thus, it was aimed only at providing you with the ELEMENT (wood, fire), and letting you deduce the element accordingly from the ba zi charts provided. However, in recent website revamp, we had decided to do away with all these limitations. We had upgraded the basic Birth Element report to True Element report. Thus, what you are getting is the FULL TRUE element analysis as in the PAID analysis. Everything such as the combinations and clashes are calculated. Thus, it is showing you not just the element (wood/fire), but more importantly whether you are weak or strong. However, the only limiting factor is that the report will not show you much of the analysis and explanation. You will noticed that all FREE reports are no longer limited in any analysis. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee David

Dear Users, We have added the New Forum Interface to the Free Advice Forum. Features ======== 1. This interface does not need frames, thus making it easier to link the forum to the various public resources and member area. 2. This interface also has been improved to allow the system to remember the users automatically when they access the forum pages (without needing to re-login). 3. It will also provide us with the foundation for a new Knowledge Based resource site which will be tightly integrated to the Member Area and Public Area. 4. This is an additional interface to the existing frame version. So users can choose which interface they prefer to use. 5. Many of the external pages have been updated to access this new interface directly. 6. This will be the new layout for future forum access. Other Enhancements ================== We have also started work to clean up some of the Member Areas reports. You will noticed certain limitations now removed from the Free Reports area. We are also working to greatly integrate the Member Area and the new Forum such that you will be able to enjoy the Free Tools even more with integrated Resources to complement the existing site. Hope you enjoy the various updates. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Users, We apologise to all users if they had encountered problems accessing our website or had trouble e-mailing to us in the past weeks. There had been several problems on different areas of the server and PC (ie ISP maintenance work, server slowdown, our server maintenance work, plus a generally increase in unwanted traffic at our ISP - SPAM/Denial of Service attack etc) which resulted in several downtime or server slow down within the month of mid Mar/ early Apr. So we actually took the past couple of days (since last Sat.) to do a massive maintenance work on our various and support PCs we use. Our e-mail support was affected as we took down our E-mail support Server to be re-installed etc. We are glad that the various work done has improved the various area:- 1. Server Performance has been greatly improved while the Security against unwanted traffic (ie SPAM/Denial of Service etc) are also in place so as to reduce any impact of such activities on our server. 2. We had been defragging/tweaking/fixing the various hardware/software on our various servers. 3. New Dedicated Support Center Server that handle all inbound E-mail and Fax support was re-setup and re-organised. So that our various Support PCs now route our e-mail though this server. Users can now be 100% assured that your e-mail will reach us and replies our e-mail in turn reach you. This is how it works:- - All Inbound e-mail (support@geomancy.net) are assigned with GEO-TICKET and you should get an auto-reply (as soon as it is received by us). - All Outbound e-mail we send are tracked to ensure that they get delivered out to your ISP Mail Server (after which it is the responsibility of that mail server to ensure it gets delivered to you). - All outband e-mail has an auto-acknowledgement to let us know when you receive the e-mail. If not, we will usually re-send it after few days. So our Dedicated Support Center will ensure that no e-mail gets lost in Cyberspace - which is happens even more frequently now due to many ISPs increasing their efforts to stop SPAM/UCE which often hinder proper e-mail delivery. 4. Improved monitoring of Server (ie allowing us to detect and correct problems on our server quickly, plus monitor the performance of the server to ensure you are able to access our website smoothly.) ............................................................ Now that we have completed all these works, we will be focusing back on attending to your various e-mails and support and adding new website resources. Should users be affected by these problems. ie. Did not get a reply back to us (within 7 days), it is best to re-send them to us for our attention. As there were several problems which could have resulted in us not receiving your e-mails or not e-mails not reaching you, thus not being able to attend to your queries promptly. Once again, apologise for the inconvienced caused during this period if you are in any way affected by it. Thank you once again for your support! Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Users, There has been many updates at Geomancy.Net. However, because they are not visible to users, users may not noticed them. Thus, we did not post them individually. 1. We have taken effort to update many software to the latest to take advantage of new features and stability. 2. We have clean up HTML broken links and Javascript errors within the Members Area and Free Advice Forum. 3. We have improve our Geomancy.Net servers and improve the load for the servers for faster access. We also fix up several problems which affected access to our web server in the past week as well as even e-mail access. 4. We have setup a dedicated Support Center Mail Server which is specially focused at handling all inbound and outbound E-mail Messages, assigning GEO-TICKET, and also a new feature to ensure that our e-mails are delivered to users (via a mail receipt notification feature). This has been done so as to improved the E-mail delivery. We want to make sure that e-mails will be 100% delivered to the destination and read by users. In addition, we have also improved the validation of all e-mails (ie if mails fail in the internet delivery services, we should know about it and re-send it). This also allows to better handle the thousands of e-mail that is sent via e-mail. 5. We have improved many payment e-mail / confirmation to improve the communication process between users and geomancy.net. 6. SSL encruption to Members Area and Forum is now an optional feature so as to allow users to login securely at geomancy.net. As some of the links still may contain http:// image links, we did not set this as a default login measure. Once we do a full clean up and satisfied that the links are all updated, we will set SSL login as the default for all our members area etc. 7. Plus many more changes to improve user's experience and support on our website. ............................................................ Hope you enjoy the various updates. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Users, We apologise if you had been facing difficulties accessing our website the past few days due to the server becoming very slow and sluggish. We have identified and fixed some server problems causing the website to be extremely slow in the past few days and even unaccessable. We have also off-loaded some components of the server to separate servers to improve the performance of the website. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Users, 1. SERVER SOFTWARE UPDATE ========================= We apologise if some users had encountered some difficulties using our website today. We were updating some of our server software today which required the server to be resetted a few times. Anyway, this is completed, and the server is running on latest version of the various software which means faster and performance due to improvement to the software. 2. TESTING AND ENABLING SSL =========================== We had renewed and updated our SSL certificate for our payment gateway early this month (Feb). Since then we have been preparing to allow the same high security encryption used in encrypting our payment gateway (from www.versign.com), to be used throughout our website. Some areas we intend to make use of these SSL encryption are like the Public website / Member Area / Forum. At this time, the Free Advice Forum, is configured to work with SSL encryption. Though, nearly all areas can use SSL, the only problem about SSL mode is that if there are some graphic links or external scripts which are not called in SSL mode, there will be warning alerts by your web browser. Thus, it will probably take some time for us to update those links to be accessable both in non-SSL and SSL mode. For Free Advice Forum, you will noticed that we have enabled a link "Access this forum securely with SSL encryption". It will probably be a while we enable some areas to automatically use SSL mode. But this will be one of the major enhancements to our website in the coming months. Hope you enjoy the updates. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Steven, Apologise, but Cecil hasn't yet got time to take a look at the condo to do a review on it. However, I have briefly broswe through the layout, generally only one or two layout plans have such toilet located in the centerpoint of the house. Those are the one you should avoid. The rest does not have the center in the center. I haven't taken a good look at it so cannot comment much on it. However, from our experiences nearly 98% of people who stay in a layout where the centerpoint of the house is close to the toilet always face financial problems. Not immediately after they move in but usually a few years down the road. So it is most advisable to avoid such houses. Yes, I do a agree that although there are many apartment with such configuration. There are still a lot more out there which is not built in such a way. So if you look carefully around enough, there will be always other better units available. A house is very important and expensive investment. So finding a good one can make a difference in your Earth luck. Since a person besides his Heavenly Luck is affected by the Earth Luck, even if his Heavenly Luck is good, but if he stays in a bad house. Then this person will still face problem. Houses with critical failures should be avoided as all cause. These are the critical failure which usually there is very little cure sometimes even no cure for such situations. As for the cure, beside keeping the toilet door close or possible putting a gourd to trap the wealth from leaking (which is will still not keep 50% of the wealth from leaking out). These cures will still not effectively remove the problem except to relocate the toilet (which is impossible in most case). Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

This website has grown tremendously such that we have over milions of visitors non-members, 350000+ for our Member Area Free tools, over 25,000+ registered for Forum discussion etc. So there are many e-mails / forum members seeking advice from us daily. Thank you for your patience and understanding! Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Hoa Luong, Generally, at Geomancy.net, we focus on fixing the entire 20-year sector problems which usually affects the entire period. The yearly star changes each year, so if you can fine tune the cures and fixes for each year you can obtain the best overall cures or enhancement for your home. Note here that there are many people who worry that after 2004 their house will change to a period 8 house. This is wrong. Flying Star focuses on the Birth chart of the house just like Ba Zi focus on the Birth chart of a person. So for all those staying in a period 7 house (1984-2003), so long as you do not make any major renovation changes to the structure of the house, it will retain as a period 7 built house. However, the yearly star will always changes, so depending on what stars falls into which sector, the balance of the sector will change a little. That is why you have some year being better than others etc. So yes, if you should always check out what are the changes each year. If you have the paid flying star report, just login to your member account and regenerate the Year 2003 analysis to see if there are any changes you need make to fine tune your cures. However, generally, once you fix up the 20-year problem, you would probably not need to worry about the yearly changes. Hope that helps.
