Hi, Please read below. There is no harm in activating it, because it is an auspicious star which brings you good luck. The only thing you need to take note is that they must fulfill the requirements. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Nansi, Apologise for the late reply, was browsing through the message and found this still unanswered. Please read below:- Try to divide your Eight House using the pie lines and make sure you do not stay directly in the death line. Rather then the 9 square format. It is a little more accurate with the pie line division. Just avoid staying directly under the disaster line. Another suggestion is to strengthen yourself with your favourable elements, this will also help to counteract or reduce the influence. You see, even if you are a strong Earth, but without fire, you do not have a mother or a resource these are what essentially created you. So you still need "a little" rather then none at all. But since you are a strong Earth, I recommend a little will do just enough to bring you into balance. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Joe, Please read below:- Yes, it will help you strengthen your weak Fire. Especially if you have some wealth deities in your chart, you can then take advantage of the wealth deities when you are a stronger Fire. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Users, A very good suggestion was made regarding adding a new conference:- Like to share your Experiences? So we have added this conference for users to exchange their experiences about how Feng Shui has helped, changed their life or any personal experience about Feng Shui with you like to share. Hope you enjoy it! Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi, Thank you for your suggestion! That is a good suggestion, I have since added a new conferences for it. - Like to share your Experiences? This is also another good idea, but will take some time to produce. Maybe in the later future, when we are not so busy with new enhancements, otherwise the dictionary will be outdated. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi, Please read below:- Instead, you should make use of the directional elements and the seasonal directions found in the pillars for each 10-year luck pillars or annual luck pillars. They will be a little more related and more accurate. But in any case, direction of flight is just a one area you should look at, only thing is take note when you heading a certain direction for a major event or task otherwise, not really that important. Most important that you are in balance with your elements. That should bring you out of harms way. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Michele, You may have to check out if there are any master who had listed themselves in our Feng Shui Directory at http://www.geomancy.net/links/index.htm. Otherwise, you may have to ask around or search the web with yahoo or some other search engines. Apologise, can't help you on this matter. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Jason, Please read below:- Yes, it does help. It is in fact the best alternative to improving your office if you are unable to relocate your sitting position. Fire would be more recommended, any pointed object or red colour will do just fine. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Fraser, Please read below:- Actually, I personally find these rather unimportant. More importantly the colour is suitable for you, that is good enough for clothings. As for the lines etc, it is really up to your liking. Generally you have to use your own personal judgement. Items can sometimes be made of different elements such as plants are both wood and earth. So similarly colour can also have to different elements such as yellow-red, which is earth and fire. Then you have to see which is more, if more red then most likely fire. Next important criteria is the shape takes precedence over colour. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Fraser, Please read below:- Yes, in the natural destruction cycle, water destroys fire. Well, you are relating this directly with the Kua element direction of the bagua. Such as South being Fire. The proper thing you should look out is an overly strong influence of a certain element. A little of each element in every portion is ok. You see, you need to have a little of each elements even destructive elements in your life. Only when you have a balance of everything can you draw the strengths from them for whatever you do. All these are based on the Five Elements cycles. Production Cycle = Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth. Destruction Cycle = Metal, Wood, Earth, Water, Fire. For any sha qi, so long as you cover it, it is fine. You can use nearly anything of your imagination to cure the sharp edges. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Fraser, Actually, you can do a free pillars of destiny report at http://www.geomancy-online.com to determine your birth element. Anyway, your birth element is earth. If you are a weak earth, the fire is good for you. Otherwise, metal is good for you. Actually, I think you do not really have to be so concerned about the bathroom. Areas which you should be more concerned with is with things that you spend more time with. Example your own bedroom and items you wear or carry. These are more important to suit yourself then the colour of your bathroom. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi, Please read below:- Well, glad you have brought this matter up. You see the easiest book to write is about shapes and forms and Eight house which are very static in nature allowing it easy for authors to write them. However, what you are forgetting also is that in the Traditional Feng Shui do you know that these items are consider part of Feng Shui Evaluation tools:- - Five Elements, Yin & Yang - Face Reading - Palm Reading - Eight House - Bagua Trigrams - Zi Wei Dou Shu (Chinese Astrology) - Pillars of Destiny - Pillars of Name - Feng Shui (Shapes and Forms) - Flying Star - I-Ching - Yin Feng Shui - & lots more Normally an "authentic Feng Shui master" would have a good understanding of all these theories (although I can understand that not every can specialise in every area as there are a lot to learn an understand!) But they must be at least be fluent in to know which are important for a home audit. But I am said to say that there many self-claimed "Feng Shui Master" these days don't know much about these. Of which, majority of the books are on Shapes and Forms because they are easiest to teach. But in reality, due to the misconceptions by many of these books, they have completely ignore many important areas of Feng Shui:- - Shapes and Forms - Flying Star - Eight House - Pillars of Destiny As you can tell, we have been adding resources about these topics to the site for users to learn and understand. However, it is not easy to come up with easy to understand theories. Thus, in order to simplify matters, we have came up with the computerised tools to assist everyone to do proper feng shui. And these tools allows a user to access nearly all areas of Feng Shui which is lacking in many books. Due to our experience and contacts with many users, we realised that there are consultants out there who actually only do partial Feng Shui Audit for a person. Example 1 ========= We have seen someone who do a Flying Star for the home, and had told them that their house is good and they should activate this and that. So they did, guess what? They ended up with problems. Why? We found that the person was too strong in an element such as strong wood, and cures and enhancements such as fountains added actually caused them more problem then helping them. Example 2 ========= We have users who told us that they were told to put this items (mirrors, crystal, fountain, etc) in places where they shouldn't. This practitioner only uses their intuition or so call qi. Again problems struck. Why? After doing a Flying Star audit for them, we found that the mirrors and etc was placed in inauspicious areas. Example 3 ========= We have users who told us that a consultant help them evaluate their home using only Eight House. After putting enhancements suggested, problems arose. Why? We found the problem from pictures which they sent us about their home and found several sha qi not cured, which caused problems. Example 4 ========= And lots more, if you do search on this forum, I think can see many more. So I will not elaborate on it any further. --------------------------------------------- So doing a proper Feng Shui is not that easy. Sometimes problems are caused by Shapes and Forms, some are caused by incompatibility with elements and home, some are by Xuan Kong influence, and some are by Eight House, etc. Our advice is that you have to be careful when you apply feng shui, and normally before we can really advice you, we need to have information from the correct reports or relevant details from users. Many question asked sometimes are too general that there is no way to provide an all-for-one solution. This type of Feng Shui is what we call "Fast Food Feng Shui". It is not desired as many problems have arise from it. And let me tell you it is more difficult to cure problems which occurs from wrongly activating the star or offending the grand duke etc. Often these can be more damaging than the original problems. Thus, even harder to enhance or cure as there are now added influences. So please understand that, when we try to provide answers or advices, we do so with care and most of the time we need more specific info from the users in order to provide them the answers. Also, as many users can tell, we are getting lots of questions from the forum and not to mention our own personal mails, so you may have to give us some time to provide answers to your question, especially those with very complex problems. Remember that there is no ONE-CURE for all problems. Each person is unique and each problems is also unique. We are providing more information about different theories, but these will take time.

Hi, It is more important when they appear as mountain and water star. However, under the advanced Xuan Kong, it is more equally important that the analysis takes into account the inter-relationship between the two stars, 20-year, yearly and monthly stars. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Eve, Please read below:- This is Yes, in the past, many Feng Shui Masters use elements found in the name to help suppliment the lack of an element in the birth chart. This is considered the immediate cure for a new born baby to change his or her luck. As you know a person's name is most often used so it does have some impact on the person. Generally, from a name, it does provides certain characteristics and is pretty related to Feng Shui's Pillars of Destiny. Just like when my nephew was born end last year, I choose a name using this art to compliment his existing birth elements (from the Pillars of Destiny), especially areas which he lacks. And true enough, he is turning out to be very strong and active, just as his name has predicted. Naming or Pillars of Name ========================= For those users who are not aware, Pillars of Name is the ancient art of analysing a person's destiny using his or her name. This applies strongly to Chinese names only. There are some common English names being represented. I actually wanted to put up a module for it, but as it requires users to have Chinese Character support for it, I have decided to put this development on hold. How it works? ============= Simply every chinese character has a specific stroke which is divided into the Five Element and Yin & Yang, with the various choice of characters, a person's destiny can be revealed.

Dear Rose, Thank you for your comments. Yes, I had that in mind, but because the main program is already too complex especially with the older modules it was difficult to add clear explanation at the same time provide technical information. Thus, thus this major revision is done to provide two sets of report, one is the full technical analysis, and the other is the explanation only. In this way, I can take advantage of the specific targets templates and provide more in-depth explanation without making the report too long or too complex to generate. In addition, it was a long time since the codings were looked at due to constant addition, so the new revision gives me a chance to re-look and enhance the performance and add new techniques for "detailed, multiple and cross-analysis". This would mean that you will see the related information being analysed as a whole, rather then individual components analysis. Thus providing you with one result and suggestion for the analysis. A sample of this explanation is found in the Pillars of Destiny Explanation module which solely takes care about explaning the details rather than the complex details. This portion of the report is more the explanation on what to do and how to do it. That module is being enhanced together with the main report. But before that, I need to actually test the revised modules to ensure that all the analysis is done properly just as the existing v7.10. Once I have verified this, I can proceed to add in more enhancements. Thus, I have put up the v7.20 beta for testing. The report should generate exactly the same as the original except that it is faster and it uses many new techniques and contains 120 years of luck pillar:) Warmest Regards Robert Lee ----- Original Message ----- From: Listmanager To: Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 1999 1:13 PM Subject: New! Pillars of Destiny v7.10 -Reply

Dear Users, I am pleased to inform you that almost all the major components making Pillars of Destiny v7.10 possible are completed. I have been rather busy improving the site for your benefit! I had done a major internal re-coding of the Pillars of Destiny Core modules and have put it up for testing under v7.20 beta under the Pillars of Destiny report. What's new? 1. Major revision done to the way data is stored and retrieved. Thus, a faster generation of report. 2. Now you will be enjoying 120 years of luck pillar analysis instead of 80 years. I remember some of you asking what happens after 80 years, so have extended it to 120 year which should cover the longest life span of everybody. 3. New revision allows more flexibility in providing even more accurate analysis incorporating multiple, compounded, & cross- analysis with other components on a particular portion of the analysis. 4. The display template was broken down so that you get to see the report generated in small sections rather then waiting for the entire report to be completed before you can read the details. This is necessary for several new enhancements, house of conception, house of life, 2-yearly season, 12 season's growth, the deathly punishment clashes, improved luck pillars analysis and lots more! Several of these components are ready, but still undergoing some testing and will be launched once everything test out ok. For those paid users who are interested helping to beta testing the new report before it is launched, please leave me a personal email (robert-lee@3dmail.com). So look out for the up and coming updates to the new report. Once the entire revision is completed and tested, it will replace the existing v7.10 and officially launched to all users. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Jason, You many need to double check if you selected weak earth. And for that module because the changes is very minor, sometimes you may be viewing the cached version either at your ISPs proxy server or your browsers cache, just refresh the page and you should be able to solve this problem. Basically, the first portion of the report tells you the inter-relationship between the other elements and your main element. The next portion tells you the detailed elements which are favourable or unfavourable to you. The table at the bottom of the report will provide some examples, as this portion is pretty complex, it will not provide every possible relationship instead provide common items so that you can relate the report. How to use them? There are often several alternatives to a cure, for example weak wood, you can use water to help your weak wood directly, or use earth to destroy the metal which is destroying you. Sometimes, you may find that especially when you have another family member with you, certain cure say water may indirectly harm your member, so you may want to consider using another cure such as Earth. Once you know what element you want to use, then refer to the table for a slightly better understanding of what objects are considered as that elements. For Feng Shui, nearly any objects at home can be used as cures. It does not necessary have to specially purchased or made. Remember for cures, symbolic represents in terms of shape is quite important, then followed by the color. Hope that helps Warmest Regards Robert Lee ----- Original Message ----- From: Listmanager To: Sent: Monday, July 26, 1999 11:51 PM Subject: 5 Elements Cure Report

To all users, Since it was pointed out by Jerry, I would like to share with you the interesting information on how the Geomancy Logo (red bagua) was designed. When I designed it, I wanted it to be Feng Shui Friendly or the term is also called " White Feng Shui ". The bagua logo was based on the Fu Xi First Heaven Sequence Bagua htp://www.geomancy.net/fs/pakua.htm The First Heaven Sequence Bagua is a perfect model bagua that is used to place above a main entrance door to ward off sha qi (posion arrows). Under our teaching materials, it placed in a South to North model. And in order to activate the bagua it has to placed as South to North. However, for our webpage logo, we do not want the this bagua sequence to be " activated " when users view our website. We therefore, rotated it 180 degrees so that it conforms to the North to South model, and it not activated when the logo is displayed on the screen or printed out. The North to South model is also unique because when Cecil started his website, it was the first website about Feng Shui on the internet and the Eight house model which he had created was also North to South model making simple to relate to the ordinary compass. Hope you find the above information interesting. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Marissa Water is strong in Winter. Wood = Spring Fire = Summer Metal = Autumn Earth = All Seasons Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Glyn, Please read below:- Nope it is not necessary. Whether or not is good or bad, it depends on additional compounded influence. For example, even if he is travelling in his bad direction (which everyone will do so sometime or other). It is the influences of that trip that makes the difference. For example this person is a weak wood, but his friends with him are weak water etc, they are heading for the mountain (with nature - wood, earth). His direction is travelling say West (Metal) which is unfavourable, but that along is not significant enough for any inauspicious or unhappy influence. Rather if his friends he is travelling is Strong Metal and maybe Strong Fire, and he is travelling West (Metal) in maybe a car. And it happens that his day is also in an unfavourable element. Yes, that has significantly sufficient compounded influence to result is possible some accident etc. As mentioned, it is the matter of compounded influence from the person's pillars, people around the person, favourable month, day, hour? Etc. As you know the influence is constantly shifting which is why it is not easy to determine such scenarios. But generally from my various case studies, the common thing which I saw is:- 1. Normally they are in their unfavourable 10-year or 5-year period. 2. There is either too much unbalance in favour of the unfavourable element. 3. Clashes in elements (Especially unfavourable clashes) 4. Combination resulting in lost of favourable element or creating the unfavourable situation) 5. Year, Month & Day normally in their worst period. 6. Triggered normally by travelling or doing something which is represented by the unfavourable element. If you study the many pillars of those resulting from "death", you normally find the above. Which is what I called compounded unfavourable influences. Hope that helps Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi, It is not possible to predict time of death accurately unless you want to do a full detailed case study of a person for every year, month, day and hour? At best most Masters would do is give a general prediction of good or bad events. Do you know when would you encounter "Death"? It is encountered when very likely the 10-year period has a warning that you are unfavourable to that period. Remember a directional influence in the 10-yearly chart, if you ignore that and persist in travelling towards the direction of your unfavourable influence. That would again unfavourable influence towards you. In addition, if the annual luck is against you, or if there are any clashes or combinations which occurs in that year, that changes your elements to that of unfavourable. In addition, if you do not favour your current month or day, these compounded influence when added together is what is likely to cause death. Thus, you see it is not really possible for any one to be able to predict the time of death, because what's stated in the chart can only tell that much. It is also the result of what actions or what course of events the person decides to take that will influence his life. I have yet gotten much chance nor the time to do analyse the recent death of the JFK Jnr. But according to my brief browsing of his charts, he is a person who encounters many unfortunate incidents in his life. This 10-year period which he is in is again his bad period and if I am not wrong, the direction which he was travelling happens to be his unfavourable element. In addition, he was a person who is of weak fire, which means that Water and Metal are bad for him. Furthermore, he was in a plane (Metal), and flying over "Water" towards his unfavourable element direction. So a series of unfavourable element with him and his choice of path looks bad for him. Thus, to predict such event to the actual time is pretty difficult. But once it happen, anyone can look and analyse the effects putting two and two together to explain the cause. In any case, my point to this is that, Pillars can only emphasis or point out to your Elements in relation to the current environment. If you choose to go against it, then you are looking for trouble. It will be nearly impossible to predict how a person does without relating to their external environment. So at best what everyone should do is try to avoid going against any of your unfavourable period and try to create the harmony needed for yourself. Warmest Regards Robert Lee
