Dear Anon, This conversion is necessary only if you have downloaded the free software for your own desktop. The free software can calculate the kua, but I did not include my copyright software into this free software. As it was provided to everyone as I had created the software for fun:) However, if you are referring to the online reports provided by the My FengShui, every report has been automatically converted to Lunar Calendar before any analysis is done. Every Report you generate from our online services, provides one with proper conversion to the Lunar Date of Birth, which is used for all relevant calculations. Warmest Regards Robert Lee On 11/12/99 7:41:33 PM, Cecil

Dear Ann, Please read below:- This report is no longer available as a free report, as it has been selected for My Feng Shui Members only as we have been exceed our monthly bandwidth, thus will not be putting a free report for this. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Carrie, According to Cecil's Applied Feng Shui Book there are 3 different methods to deriving the Kua number. Here is the example:- 20 June 1958 (when converted to Lunar will still be in 1958). So the calculation is based on 1958. Method 3 ======== 1958 = 1 + 9 + 5 + 8 = 23 & 2 + 3 = 5 Since you are a Female:- 4 + 5 = 9 Kua 9 is Li which is South House. So your most suitable house faces South. 1. South, East, South-East and North are considered East Group Kua. 2. North-East, North-West, West, South-West are considered West Group Kua. There is such a East & West Group simply because the theory is about the 4 East and 4 West house grouping. So it is not wrong for her to say that you are a East Group person, although your most favourable house facing should be South House. Hope that clears your doubt. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Toni, Please read below:- I believe I have answered this portion in an eariler mail. Remember that it every element is important in creating a balance. Once you have that it will assist you as you will gain the two missing deities controlling that element. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Toni, Yes, there will be a course for Pillars of Destiny. Pillars of Destiny in my own opinion is extremely complex and even exceeds the complexity of the Flying Star (which is already pretty complex as it is.) Currently, the reason why there are very little books on this subject is because the original pillars can span easily between 20 volumes of more than 200 pages each targeting specific aspects of the Pillars. So it is not an easy topic to produce a course on. However, we will plan to have a course on it in the later future, possible after we have completed the Flying Star course first. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Toni, Please read below:- It depends on where it is located. Simply:- If located in the Eight Character of Birth, there is very little one can do to change much. It would mean that a person is lightly to be in such a situation where he wants to do something but somehow or rather it backfires or is not very successful. If occurs in the year, that means that for that year he or she is likely to face difficulties. However, this lasts only for the duration of the year. This is a brief explanation. The extend depends upon whether to that person this particular Wu or Chen is beneficial to them or not. All Clashes, Harms, Punishments etc have good and bad clashes, Harms, Punishment. So so long as they are good clashes, you need not worry much, but if they are bad clashes which worsen the situation than you have you be careful, but countering the element involved to reduce the influence. Yes, if there are missing elements, you must compensate for it especially if it represents your main chart. This is because if you are unbalanced, you are likely to face problems. Everything has to be in moderation. It does not mean that if say a weak wood, person cannot have metal. Metal also forms a certain portion of the ten-deities which represents at least two different aspect. What is important is total balance. The key analysis usually is done to determine firstly if you are weak or strong. Then next comes if your elements are balanced or unbalance. Hope that answers your question. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Ng, Please read below:- Hi Robert, Thanks for your reply. My personal element is earth, not too sure whether is weak or strong. Date of birth : 25-Nov 1970 @ Singapore. Any different whether I'm a weak or strong earth person? In fact, I do have a fish Yes, there is a difference. A) weak earth for example favours Fire and dislike Wood. B) strong earth for example favours Metal and dislike Fire. This also means that the luck period for the year also varies due to the difference. Also, many other analysis will differ as the favourable and unfavourable elements are totally different. For example a weak wood is like a small tree, easily broken so need constant assistance. For example a strong wood is like a big tree, not so easily cut down, and more stronger.

Dear Chris, The stars are identified by the use of Flying Star theory. Based on the formula and calculation, a base star, the mountain & water star will be worked out. Thus, the main door direction is needed. Once the details are worked out, the analysis for each sector can than be deduced. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Please read below:- This is because many people who are practising Feng Shui has mainly learnt only the Flying Star and the Shapes and Forms. And that they feel that the Flying Star is so powerful that you do not need anything else. However, if you understood that the Flying Star is a tool just to analyse the House, you will realise a very important factor which is ignored:- The suitability of the a person to the house. This was one of the reason the Eight House has been used widely to help to cover that link. However, Eight House utilises the Year of birth which is very inaccurate as that would mean that there are only 8 different variation for everyone who is born based on the year of birth. The Pillars of Destiny which is found on this site focus on the fact that Pillars can determine your true personal element, eg. weak or strong wood. And it is based on the day of birth. This means that for everyone in the year say 1999, will have 365 different days and each day is dominated by different elements. Thus, Pillars is vital to creating the missing link of finding the element of a person. And when you have an element of a person and an element of a house, you can closely relate it together. This is one of the key principle of a Ba Zi Feng Shui. And also, what a person encounters in a particular year is determined by what is his luck for that year, thus, that again plays an important part in a complete analysis. Thus, to analyse Feng Shui a range of all the tools has to be applied to get the most accurate reading and analysis of the matter. Basically, these are entirely up to you. For the colour of the house, I feel it is best to leave it as white as that is a neutral colour. Remember so long as you say enhance yourself with the element (which can be represented by colour, type, object, job related etc.) Any just keep up with the yearly changes, which often affects you the most for the entire year. Any of the above will bring you increased luck. Warmest Regards Robert Lee You are welcome! Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Chris, Please read below:- 1. Breadwinner should stay in a house facing suitable to him. This means that the best would be to have the main door and bedroom located in his good sectors. Or at least he should be located in a bedroom which is his good sectors. 2. Next comes the wife if applicable. Should preferably locate together with a good with the husband. If not priority goes to the husband. The bed location should be located where the head is in the direction of their good sectors. 3. Next goes to finding suitable rooms for the rest of the members. At least if they cannot be located in a good sector locate them such that the bedroom does not fall within disaster and death as these two normally spells trouble, especially since the bedroom is where the person spends most of his or her time. 4. As for furniture placement, I guess it is entirely up to you. If it is a common area, locate the furniture such that it does not obstruct or accidentally create a poison arrow. And for each individual member, locate the key items such as study table or sitting locating where possible to face the good directions. This is as far as what the Eight House can do. It does not tell you the sectors influence of the house which overrides the good influence of the Eight House. But hope it helps you. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Ng CT, Please read below:- This is an auspicious sector of your house and yes you can consider this a wealth area. 7 (weak Metal) 3 (Strong Wood) 7 (weak Metal) If I am not wrong there should also be a option for you to activate the Mountain Star. Since it is found in a room (study room). If there are no windows in that direction, please activate the Mountain Star with a Earth element item (such as a paper weight, or a large picture). Usually, the better place to place a fish tank is often in the living room area with a larger open space, because Water star is often activated better with an open space. And for this case, if you use a Water element it may activate the inauspicious base Wood 3 Lawsuit star. However, before I can come up with a proper recommendation, I would like to know what is your personal element and whether you are the person who will be making use of this study? The best element type to use to activate the good star is Metal or at least Earth. Which will in turn control the inauspicious base star. This analysis is done without taking into consideration of the person or your personal element. In which case, if you can activate the Mountain as mentioned above you should be able to activate the wealth area as well. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Users, I would like to add further on this matter. Let me relate it to why I always stress that when an individual lack a certain element, one of the best cures is to come into constant contact with the related element, such as using colour. This relates to my elder brother. He is basically a weak wood, and lacks lots of water and in the past he did not really believe much about Feng Shui. We told him that his favourable type of element is water, which means that his likely favourate colours are blue, black and grey. And true enough, when he started to believe in Feng Shui, he purchased a pond and started to rare koi in the living room (but also note that is was placed in an auspicious water star position). And to add to that he constantly love to wear blue, black colour clothings. In addition his car was also blue in colour. So this means that when he goes out he is already with his favourable element (water) as clothing, when he is driving he is again with his favourable colour (water). When he is back at home, he is with his koi fishes (water). So this would mean that even if he is faced with an inauspicious element for the year or in his jobs or whatever, say Metal, the water which he is constantly in contact with actually strengthens his weak wood and say when he does come into contact with Metal, the water which is his favourable element will in turn draw strength from the Metal and further strengthening him. Thus, he has been extremely successful in his career and family:) Why have I brought up this personal experience? Many times users have always ask us why in our report we do not specify what type of items such as water can be related to rearing a fish pond, putting a fountain etc. Instead for example our report points the individual to the right direction or to the root of the problem say water? This is because to apply Feng Shui you do not really need to spend extra money on purchasing "Feng Shui related items". Every object, colour, shape and type are essentially recorded as a particular element. This means that when we talk about about say this period Metal reigned by Metal element influence and the suggested cure is say Water or Fire, it opens a range of items or ways you can improve your luck or situation. Why? When one hears that the `cure' is Fire, what should you do? Relate the Fire to red, pink and purple. (or any shades close to red), related objects such as candle, stove, cooking, related to shapes such as pointed shapes, or objects which are triangle. Or relate to a house being a Fire element type house or etc. If you noticed that everything and anything can be related to Feng Shui through the use of Five Elements. Thus, to know the root of the problem is more important than relaying on just a single object such as to cure a sickness star use only Wind Chime, or to increase your wealth use only Fountain. Instead, with the knowledge of the elements you lack, you can apply just like my brother in many ways, the way you dress, the way you choose favourable colours for your car, the way you look for a favourable house element etc. This is essentially more powerful and more flexible approach than giving you a fixed description or `spoon fed'. This is for us to ponder: Have anyone wondered can we use `cures' in relation to Astrology (especially Western astrology). When they relates to the stars etc, they can give you several pages of description about certain characteristics or that something is going to happen to you etc. However, ever wonder, yes from the stars something is going to happen to me, how can I avoid it? Often that is not the case with Western Astrology. Yes, you get lots of details but of which none actually have a cure, all the advice would likely be to avoid going out etc. Whereas if we find that Destiny based on say Pillars not only tells us e.g. the year is inauspicious, but also the element involved likely to cause you unfavourable influence. In addition, you know what you can do to cure or improve upon it. Thus, a Feng Shui is has a very practical approach to the way it handle things. That is why we always stress that everything has to be related to Five Element to be authentic Feng Shui/Destiny. Look at:- A. Shapes and Forms - The shapes and its various forms are related to Five Element. B. Pillars of Destiny - Relates a person to his own personal element and the changes elemental influence relating to him. C. Flying Star - Relates a house or office to the Five Element. D. Eight House - Uses the Eight Trigram to relate some portion of an Eight Variant element. However, there are many limitation. But at least this relates a little to the individual. Whereas, Flying Star does not take into account a person. E. Eight Characters Feng Shui - This utilise information between a person and a home to provide indepth analysis. For those who are unaware, in actual fact when you apply Pillars and Flying Star, some essence of what makes it possible to bind the two theories together came from the essence of the powerful Eight Characters Feng Shui. Thus, it is important to apply an ALL ROUNDED analysis. Each theory was developed for a specific purpose and that is why we cannot forgo any single theory. I am glad that many users are more aware of it. And that we have been doing right from the start. And I am glad that Glyn has also brought up the matter of the Flying Star. I know she practice Feng Shui in total. What she was actually trying to say is that with the Flying Star often you can get a greater insight that might not be possible with just the external shapes and forms. But she did mentioned that she relate that to the Pillars and other form. Basically, I do agree with her that Flying Star is indeed powerful, sometimes it provides the additional insights not seen by other tools, thus is an invaluable tool when wanting to assess and solve a problem. However, without relating to other theories, it alone it pretty limited. Because we have to understand when is it a problem related to the home, when is it a personal problem related to the Pillars, when is it related to the external factors. It is with all these theories together, taking the best of each, that you can piece together a clear and accurate picture. In order to improve a situation many areas of cures has to be done to fix all the individual problem (no matter how minor). This is because when a single problem is fixed, the inauspicious features for that problem is reduced. When you fix all the bad sector, by then nearly all the problem would have been resolved, and there is where you star to enjoy good luck. Hope that helps:) Warmest Regards Robert Lee PS: Apologise as I have been busy with lots of backend development, thus did not have much time to participate in the discussion. I am working on something that I believe users will find extremely useful when it is finally launched!

Dear Anon, Wu and Chen are by themselves a Self Punishment sign. This already means that there are some kind of misfortune to occur. As to the severity it depends on the type of additional clashes combinations or situation which they occur in. Just like any clash or harm, there are good clash and bad clash, so it all depends on the situation. However, it is generally said to bring some inauspicious situation, especially when Wu meet another Wu or Chen meets another Chen. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Elena, Please read below:- Every year the yearly flying star will change. However, the base 20-year flying star should still remain the same. What happens when you get such a situation. This means that for the SE sector, where the yearly 7 comes into 20-year 7 base star, that is the most auspicious of the 20-year year combination. This also means that for the North Sector, where the yearly 5 comes into 20-year 5 base star, that is the worst year for the entire 20-year year. In order to see what you should do for solving the sector, what is also required is the mountain and water star of the 20-year chart. Yes, it is correct to say that double 5 use metal, however, the double 5 is more dangerous when it occurs as a 5 mountain and 5 water star. Thus, it does not really have the same impact as having a 55 (mountain vs water). So in order to solve or improve the sector I need to know what is the Mountain and Water star of that sector. That will overall determine what kind of influence you get on that sector. This goes the same for all the various sectors as it simply mean that it is the strongest influence for all the stars, the best being extremely good, while the bad being extremely bad. Maybe you like to tell me which profile in your account, and I can check it out and give you some recommendations? Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Tam, Apologise for the delay, as we did miss posting this message. Yes, that is correct if you use the 9 Square grid method. However, the more accurate way is to use the 8 Pie method. If you have done the latest Eight House Report, I have added a graphic which has divided the sector equally using a Circle. You can then superimpose that circle onto your home to accurately determine the exact source of influence. As in actual fact, it is not a square sector that gets the influence, but the angle which falls like a fan from lesser at the center to a wider range at the outside of the house. Similarly for the Flying Star, make use of the 9 pie (8 pie and a circular center as the 9th sector). This way you can more accurately determine which sector belongs under what influence. After which you can take the 33% rule set to see which one sector occupies 33% or more of the sector. Then that direction should be where the flying star influence for that sector will be more active in that room. Yes, you can do so, but please attach it to the Conference for Attachement under this forum, as any files attached to our e-mail may jam our mails, as there is often a certain limited mailbox space. Sorry, I do not believe, I recall receiving any attachment? May be you like to attach it again to the forum. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Jim, As mentioned in the previous message to another user. Selling a House does not really fall under Feng Shui. At best what you should do is keep the house bright and pleasing to look at and get a good real estate agent to help you advertise your home. Other than that, there is very little you can do personally to help the sales except maybe to increase your personal luck by enhancing yourself with favourable elements. This way you might be able to increase your chance of getting a suitable buyer. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Gem, Apologise for the late response. Must have missed this question. Basically for selling a house, there is no reason for you do a Home Audit, so the best I can suggest is that you keep the house clean and pleasing to look at. Furthermore, Feng Shui can only be used to enhance the balance in nature. It is not a miricle cure or solution to every problem. On a personal note, is to enhance you personal self with your favourable elements, so that it increases your luck while you are meeting up with prospective buyers. Other than that, basically, there is nothing much other tips that works for selling a house. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Laura, For your case, because the office does not belong to you, what you can do is to enhance your personal self. For example, if you know that you are a weak wood, you should wear water element (blue/black) types of clothings and have some of those elements present on your desk to enhance yourself. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Jenney, Please read below:- Yes they are actual reference to the actual family relationship. When the element is related to say the Mother, and the element is unfavourable to you, which means some kind of disagreement is likely to occur. This is especially so when it occurs throughout your luck periods. Later on, I will be adding detailed analysis to each member of your family. Hope that helps to clear your query. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Users, Since Geomancy-Online Reports was created in Oct / Nov 1998, it has developed many more useful and comprehensive reports. And along the many months assisted many users of their various problems. Since Jan / Feb 1999, when an online management was developed, it has accumulated upto more than 45,200 accounts by Oct 1999. And we are now having a daily usage by the various memebers of not less than 1,000 users a daily. Thus, because of the high usage rate, we have been exceeding our local ISP's standard bandwidth limit. Which is costing us several thousand per month.
