Dear Carrie, Please read below:- Since you have 6 Earth, this should be where you are Strong Earth, where then you should have more Metal related elements in your personal life to induce the Earth to produce Metal, and in turn will produce Water and Wood. Which in your case Water is your wealth. Thus you need to enhance yourself say with personal cures such as wearing Metal or Water coloured clothings, and maybe even for your job get a job say Metal or Water. Wood althought in the order the the Five Elements does help weaken Earth, but it would be less effective then metal for your case as Wood may in turn also strenthen the Fire and in turn strengthen the Earth. So it is kind of a double edge cure for your case. My recommendation is for you to enhance yourself with Metal and Water. For example if you take a job as Metal, then enhance yourself with a personal cure of Water. Or take a joib as Water element and enhance yourself with Metal coloured clothing or personal objects such as your car etc. Hope it helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Please read below:- Usually there are two method of looking at this. Firstly you must first determine that the star you are enhancing is a auspicious star. If it is an inauspicious star, then you will be activating it instead. Next, you have to make sure firstly that before you start enhancing that sector the elements are balanced. This means that if there is an inauspicious star destroying the auspicious star, you have to correct it first. After the correction, simply look at the element of the auspicious star, say water, then if the sector has very strong water influence, meaning there is already a metal star in the sector, then my recommedation is to use the Fire (Wealth) so that the water can conquer the Fire to bring more wealth. If there is only a `few' water, then you should enhance it by making it stronger with Metal. However, please take note here that the MAIN reason why our reports DO NOT specify Water Star, is simply because Water star requires OPEN SPACE. So far no house can be considered an `OPEN SPACE', unless it is a large space such as the living room. If so, Cecil has covered this adequately using `Shapes and Form' School where he mentioned that the two main locations for activating water star (or clear space) is at the frontage of the house e.g. outside the main door and the living room. Thus, you can see the effectiveness of using say fish tank, fountain is limited in the house. Furthermore, when we talk about enhancements, water should be flat e.g. akin a pond and not `high' as in a fish tank which towers even above certain furniture. More like a pool of water is the word for `activating' water. However, it is possible to enhance the water star with these items. This is why most of the time, fish tank is used to neutralise sha qi or poison arrows. In fact the most effective activation is to have a pool of water at the front of the house (outside the constraints of the house). So you see this is the fundamental reason why Water Star activation is not very effective in the house. And usually we only advice doing this, after all the problem sectors have been cured. Also, rather than using say the common fountain activation, there are some alterative such as creating an active Qi in good sectors by having revolving fan to create moving Qi to circulate into the rooms. Usually, no one uses earth elements instead they will use a fan to create an active Qi, allowing the Metal element which is the auspicious element this star to circulate the room. As you mentioned, that since it is a water star, usually, it is more effective with either a support element for water, or the wealth element so that the water can conquer and create wealth. Than you, and wishing you and your family a prosperous new year:) Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Carrie, For every year there is a heavenly stem and earthly branch. For example, in year 2000, Heavenly stem is Metal. While the Dragon is Earth. The dragon's element is thus Earth. This means that for most year element they often take the heavenly stem which is Metal based on the heavenly stem. However, I have written the Daily Forecast based on the Pillars of Destiny & Chinese Astrology. Thus, have used the Earthly Branches. Reason: The earthly branches element has a great deal of influence each year, and also, the great deal of Clashes, Harms, Punishments and Self Punishments can only be found in the Earthly Branches, hidden elements etc. Thus, this provides a better and allows users to make better use of their Personal Destiny. Furthermore, by using the Earthly Branch, it can be used for Zi Wei Dou Shu (Chinese Astrology). So it kind of kills two birds with one stone. Plus, most of the analysis based on the Earthly Branches have been more accurate than the heavenly stem for the yearly reading. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Users, We have disabled the auto focusing on the windows for Netscape 3 and below, so that any javascript will not cause you from having difficulties logging into the forum or any pop up windows. This means that for older browsers users, if the window has been previously opened, it will not automatically bring the window into focus. But at least this should allow you to login to the system properly. Whenever you login to My FengShui, My Adviser, or My Mail, the system will launch the site into a new window. I have modified the startup so that My FengShui and My Adviser will not share the same window. This would allow you to switch between the two window in case you need to refer to the reports and seek advice from us. In addition, we done some house cleaning of the codes for all the major reports modules. This should mean that the reports should be faster to generate. We are still working on several updates to the My FengShui (such as refining the existing reports, help and better interface) and also on a new personalisation site. So check back with us for more exciting updates. Gong Xi Fa Cai to all users! Warmest Regards Robert Lee ONE MORE DAY to the FIRST Chinese New Year for the new Millenium!

Dear Users, My FengShui has been given a new look. - Online Reports (partial) - Electronic Books (completed) - Online Course (partial) We have been listening to your feedbacks and have re-designed the My FengShui with the similar design concepts from the various external navigation pages. In addition, as we were re-designing the pages, we were also going through the various modules and optimised the codes so that every page generation is faster. We have put up a sample link for the new online interface. And would like to hear from users about the type of interface you prefer. Currently there are three different interface. 1. By Categories interface uses similar categories to breakdown the reports generation. 2. By Reports interface users individual reports to generate the reports. 3. New interface uses frames to break down the stages followed by a selection phase for the reports. There are three types of categories so far a. By report - Only the key reports shown giving users option to select the free / member / paid reports. b. By category - Group the reports by whether they are free / members / paid reports. c. By all reports - listing every individual reports. We would like to hear from you whether which type of interface you prefer using so that we can design an interface which you find most easy to use. Please e-mail me your feedback (robert-lee@geomancy.net). Or suggestion on what you like improved. We understand also that users sometimes spent more than several hours in the report management, thus have also increased the expiration time to a 3 hours rather than 1 hour or previously 30 minutes. Meanwhile, we are doing some house cleaning to all the module coding so as to make them load faster. Thank you! Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Tracey, I am sorry, it is difficult for us to help you based on what you tell us. What I can suggest is for you to make use of the tools available on the site to help you make the proper accessment. Such as use the Eight House to find which is a good sector for you to face when you work. Use the free pillars to at least determine what element you belong to so that you know what kind of elements, colours can you use to enhance yourself. If you like to enhance home office, the Flying Star report can be used to analyse your home to determine which are the problem or unbalanced a sectors. If you can improve the above, it should help you. However, it is difficult for us to advice you if just provide us with your layout. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Ang Chye, There is a big difference after a complete analysis has been done to a person to determine if he is weak or strong wood. I believe he as deduced that the person is a strong wood, thus, metal is good for him. As metal control his strong wood. However, if he is deduced as weak wood, then metal is not good for him as it weakens him. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Actually, almost anything that has mass can be used as an activation for mountain star. So long as it has mass. And if you use crystal is represents water element. Usefully if the sector requires water element as a balance. Bronze is like metal, suitable for metal element. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Please read below:- The problem with Grand Duke and 3 kilings is that, although it has been mentioned and practice by traditional feng shui masters. Their advise has always been not to disturb them. But often there is no "solution" suggested by them. It is just like in our chinese culture, when we say that one offends the "god" there is no way of actually pleasing them. Usually, all that was done was to offer incense to these sectors in hope as an apology. Similarly, many times such theories has been talked about but there has been no effective one solution cure. Thus it is very hard to say if putting a element will work or not as there has been no traditional solutions suggested. So far all the various solutions I have seen has been a newly created one, so I cannot say for sure how effective they will be. The problem with 3 killing and Grand Duke is that these theories are pretty much static issue as they are based on the yearly influence. I know that the 3 killings can be expanded even in the month as they are constantly shifting. Just like the flying Star. This is quite similar to using Zi Wei Dou Shu's monthly chart. But personally, I do not see that a problem will occur if you activate the sector with a water feature. This is because, this theory of the three killings is based on the fact that each of the direction is associate with an animal sign and that the triangulated sector will have problems due to the clashes. Personally, do not need to worry so much about this. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, That looks like you have enhanced yourself sufficiently. Remember that by using Water, any metal you meet will be turned into Water thus enhancing your weak wood. I think that should be sufficient. Water is represented by wavy lines, glass objects type. etc. No, you should still have some of them, becuase in your case Earth is your wealth. Once you have enhanced yourself with water to strengthen your weak wood, you can then control your wealth deity which appears in the form of Earth. In any case, you should have a balance rather that completely removing a certain element away. This is because although Metal to you is your destruction, it also is the element to produce Water, so if you do not have metal in your life, then there will not be any water production. So everything has to be applied in moderation. Don't put too much changes at once. A little at a time is better. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Please read below:- Simply it is good to have friends as they often means people or things which helps you along the way providing you additional support and encouragement. Most likely all users are more interested in the Wealth as such the reports focus more on this area. Hope that answers some of your queries. I try to explain the above in areas you can relate to. Hopefully you understand my meaning. Thanks for your encouragement and support. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, It depends on the chart. I noticed for such chart, the reverse may be a better solution where you should follow the follow by creating the initation of the missing elements. Such as say in this case say you are a Strong Water. In such "unique" cases, it is sometimes better to continue to strengthen Water, while having Wood, to initiate the creation of Wood, which in turn creates Fire, and in turn create Earth etc. But without looking at your chart I cannot comment any further. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Ang Chye, Upon reviewing your message, I would like to inquire about your reasons for wanting to hang a Wind Chime. Is it solely due to the presence of star 5 in the year 2000? Or is it because the imbalance of Star 5 in that particular sector necessitates the use of a Wind Chime as a remedy? Personally, there are more effective cures available than using a Wind Chime, which can often come with complications such as varying element types of rods, different rod numbers, and hollow or solid rods. Additionally, incorrect placement of a Wind Chime may lead to more issues rather than resolving the existing problem. It is advisable to only apply a cure if you are certain of imbalances in the sector. While Star 5 is classified as a Sickness or Misfortune type of star, similar to Star 2, both being of Strong Earth, your focus seems to be on the star 5 of the year 2000. To determine whether this star is auspicious or inauspicious, it is essential to consider the 20-year base star, such as 6-3-8 (where Mountain & Water are related to the 20-year base star). When Star 5 enters, it becomes 6-3-8 plus 5 years. This does not necessarily mean that the 5 star will bring bad luck or create an inauspicious sector. In terms of Flying Star, there are triple combinations like Wood, Fire, Earth, which are considered harmonious and lead to the production of Metal and Water, promoting harmony. Therefore, if your intention to hang a Wind Chime is solely due to the presence of star 5 in that sector during that year, it is advisable not to do so. Moreover, there are more effective cures available than using a metal 5 solid rod Wind Chime, such as 6 coins with a red string, which do not pose the risk of attracting playful imps or come with complications. These cures have been proven to be highly effective for Stars 2 and 5. However, I must emphasize that I am not suggesting the use of 6 coins without knowing the specific imbalances you are experiencing that prompt you to consider this remedy. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Users, After several days of testing on the various sections of the site, all the recent changes such as changes in url or access to the My Adviser, My FengShui, etc should be working properly by today. This is because it usually takes the rest of the internet about 24 to 48 hours before all the changes are permanently updated to their cache servers. If you do encounter any problems accessing any parts of the site, feel free to e-mail to robert-lee@3dmail.com and I will look into it. Also, we would like to apologise if there we are still any unanswered queries sent to us during the upgrades. Meanwhile, I will be clearing my e-mail and forum message which I may have missed or delayed due to the upgrading process. Once again we would like to thank all users for their continued support:) Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Ang, Currently, this version of the forum does not have any ability to customise any features. So I do not think that is possible. For the time being, if you want to receive the latest message, I suggest that you subscribe to the mailing list, either as a digest (so that you receive once day), or as a notification, which e-mails users once a day as soon as a new message has been posted. That is the best option you have for now. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, I am not sure which front page you want to be improved. I understand that there are many different entry pages which many users are coming to our site from. Also, due to the high volume of visitors, there are lots of cached pages stored at the local ISP for quick access to the site. Currently, we had updated the main page with yellow navigation, purple forecast and a news page. Not sure if you are referring to improvement for this page or the older geomancy pages. There are still lots of pages which I have yet to be able to update them all. Maybe you can tell me the exact url for which page you are referring to. Maybe I may have forgotten about it. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Users, We are pleased to inform you that after several hours (12-16 hours) of data transfer (for over hundred of thousands users profile), My FengShui has been deployed on the new server:) We would like to thank all users for their continued support and we are happy to have provided our services to hundred of thousands of users all over the internet since the online management has been created in Jan 1999.

Here are some of the recent updates regarding the URL to the various site:- A. URL UPDATES Previously, the main url has been tagged to www.geomancy.net. However, as from today, you can access the files and directory using www.geomancy.net. eg. www.geomancy.net/fs = www.geomancy.net/fs B. FORECAST SERVER UPDATES Daily Forecast Server, during our initial launched we had used www.dyn.net for our forecast server while we were updating our servers. We had now dedicated a server and a url for the forecast server:- http://forecast.geomancy.net For all users who had added the forecast, pointing to either forecast.dyn.net or www.dyn.net, please update your new script at http://www.geomancy.net/geo/forecast. As the url www.dyn.net has been removed. C. c-FEST & Millennium Offers As we were upgrading our servers, we understand that some users may had encountered problems accessing the servers when they tried to purchase some of the offers packages before 15 Jan 1999. As such we had decided to extend the offers until 31 Jan 2000, for all users who were not able to purchase their packages before 15 Jan due to the server upgrades. We will be enhancing many parts of the site, but there will not be any more downtime as most of the updates will be transparent to all users. However, do not worry as all you need to remember is one common url:- HTTP://WWW.GEOMANCY.NET Please update your bookmarks or url if you are still entering from the old site:- http://sunflower.singnet.com.sg/~cecil or some other url. To ensure that all the old files are available, many older files are still accessable via some entry pages. It will take us some time to be able to update all the older pages. To ensure that you get the latest updates, please update your bookmarks. We will continue to improve the site for your pleasure. Both Cecil and myself would like to take this opportunity to wish all users:- A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS CHINESE NEW YEAR! Warmest Regards Cecil & Robert Lee

Dear Carrie, Thank you for your suggestion. I have already implemented your suggestion, and added the yearly forecast as well. So it gives you the realtime forecast of the Hour, Day, Month & Year. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Jenny, Actually, when we look at Feng Shui you will find that we never put false hope on say finding the wealth corner or simply enhancing wealth only. Simply because it is not possible or easy to locate these factors simply by using any one theory. It is more often you will find us looking for overall solution in terms of the various problems you encounter all together. We always emphasize the importance of overall balance in every single area of your life. This means that if there is a problem in the Feng Shui relating to Shapes and Forms, we find a cure for that. And when there is a problem in the Feng Shui of the House (Flying Star), we recommend a solution for the problem sectors of the house. And same goes for the rest of the theories such as Eight House, Pillars and etc. If you noticed what we often do is to correct all the various problems rather then enhancing good areas. Just take a look at the following example:- Say two different persons are facing problems such as money problems (whether not saving enough or having financial problems). Say if one of these family only want to know how to increase their wealth to solve this problem. This family ask a Feng Shui practitioner or master to help them enhance the wealth. Then under the advice, the family purchases fountain or wind chimes and spent lots of time and money just to ensure that the wealth is enhance. However, did not focus on finding the problems that may cause this lost of wealth. Instead another family wants to solve their problem by rectifying all the problem areas. So, having analysed all the situation, say there is a problem with the house in this sector and problems with say the suitability of the house etc. So this family tackles all these fundamental problems. If you compare, what you will find at the end result is that the second family who had solved all the major problems affecting their family will enjoy a better life than the first family. After the second family has enjoyed a better life (less stressful, more harmony), the second family can then consider to enhance his wealth. Remember that when we talk about Wealth in Feng Shui it DOES NOT mean money only. Wealth can be in having lots of children, having a very happy and harmonous life, and some properties. Since most of all his problems are solved, he will find life much better. And if he enhances his good sectors during this time, he will enjoy even more! This is what Feng Shui is all about - BALANCE between good and bad. The moral of this short story is simply, there is no use of enhancing wealth only, in order to do so, you actually have first got to solve the various fundamental problems which may arise from simple theory such as Shapes and Forms, Eight House to complex theories such as Flying Star and Pillars. So to get back to your question:- Please read below:- Personally, if you have enhanced your wealth element but have not solved the fundamental problems such as say problem areas in the home etc, that could be the reason why you may get lots of wealth, but find that they still go as quickly. There may be other problems which you are not solving as yet. You may like to make use of some of the various free tools available under the My FengShui to help you assess your situation. As with the information you have provided, it is difficult to tell or advice you on why you are still facing this problem such as money going out as fast as it comes in. We do not usually give tips or advices because we know that everyone is unique and there is NO ONE TIP which works for all. Everyone has different a different life and thus cures to your problem are usually different. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon. I hope I got the correct reference for the term "six killing" as there are a few different "six killing" used in Eight House and Flying Star. I believe you are referring to six killing as Liu (6) Sha / Sar (Kill) which is one of the directions in the Eight House called spook. Generally, since it a desk direction, if you can shift it to your beneficial direction, you should. If not, at least strengthen yourself with your favourable element. For example if you are weak wood, make use of water (Blue colour etc). Hope that helps. If you think I am referring to the wrong 6 killing please specify the correct term and where it is found or used in. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Generally with that combination of star, it should be no problem to place a fish tank there. Assuming everything else is ok. Just try to make use of the number of fish so that it forms certain element which is favourable for the breadwinner at least. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, We are by no means any expert graphic designers. So we can only advise you on the types of colour scheme at best. You should seek an graphic designer to help you on the design of the logo itself. Being a weak Wood in an Earth related job. To be able to contain your Earth job, the way to do is to strengthen your Wood, so there should be some blue colour (Water) surrounding the brown / green (Wood) colour. In addition, if possible a the wood should encapsulize a Earth color object. You can also make use of the shapes such as Earth being square colour, etc. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee
