1. A picture of Buddha. 2. Notice that he is wearing a `Swastica' symbol on his neck.

Attached please find two more pictures of fishes. The two pictures show the `importance' and how precious the fish are to the Chinese culture.

Dear Travis, 1. Under your year of birth, since you are born between 23 Jan 1974 to 10 Feb 1975, yes you are indeed a Wood Tiger person. Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/love/a60-80.htm 2. Do take note that under Pillars of Destiny, your Year, Month, Day and Time of birth are also taken into consideration to determine your `true element' and strength. This is why, you can be a Wood Tiger (year of birth) but after analysing your Year, Month, Day and Time of birth, your actual element can be thus different. 3. Under Geomancy.net, our analysis is tailored specifically more for Feng Shui than fortune telling. For example, under Pillars of Destiny, we use the true element and strength, and the season of strength under the `Luck pillars' for further detailed `Feng Shui' analysis. 4. Our reports do have the standard `fortune telling' portion or destiny protion. However, Pillars of Destiny or one's heaven luck can be changed by one's education, personal experience etc... 5. The terms of reference under geomancy.net is as mentioned above on Feng Shui rather than fortune telling. I often asked myself, if one is so `great' as to be able to tell fortunes for others why not tell it for oneself? 6. Like one user commented, which website did you get the idea that your luck for the next 30 years is bad? Is there a hidden agenda for this? Relying on one's fear so that one can patronise the site? You have to consider all these factors. I believe no one can give a person such a vague `prediction'. Perhaps, you would like to think positive and see if there is anyway you can upgrade yourself to enhance your career? Rather than to rely on `fortune telling.' Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. You can use the free resources e.g. http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm to check which intangible force, your bedroom is located i.e. check where especially, the death or disaster sectors are in your home. 2. There is most likely an illness star e.g. Star 2 [sickness] or Star 5 [misfortune] which you may need to confirm this under Flying Star theory. If the sector e.g. your bedroom has an imbalance, it would depend on the imbalance. Usually, if it is just the sickness star, most likely the cure is using Big metal e.g. 6 coins. But best to confirm before placing it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Rabbit person under the Chinese Zodiac sign is a person who is a family man and enjoy creature comforts at home. 2. Chinese consider the Rabbit a sensual person.

Attached please find two pictures of Chinese lions. You can often find these figures as huge door protectors or even on Chinese carvings and on Chinese carved (signature seals).

These four pictures of the deer. Deer symbolises riches and wealth.

Dear Anon, I am afraid Feng Shui is not a `cure-all'. It has no basis on curing one's back. Perhaps, you would like to see a doctor. Warmest Regards, Cecil

These are the various `halos' surrounding Buddha figurines. You can find these halos on statutes of buddhas, stone carvings of buddhas. It suppose to show the `golden shine' that Buddha emits.

1. Attached please find two sample paper-cuttings. 2. Can you imagine the skill involved in cutting out these pictures? 3. It is indeed a dying art and few can do these fine cuttings. The paper used is very thin and `fragile' coloured paper. 4. Please examine these two pictures carefully and you can see the fine lines of thin coloured paper.

These two pictures have both children and fire-crackers: 1. Picture 1: Showing children playing happily with fire-crackers. Fire-crackers is said to drive away evil / bad luck for the coming year. 2. Picture 2: Shows lot of fire-crackers around a vase. The vase has a picture of children playing with fire-crackers. These two symbols are occassions of Chinese Lunar New Year.

Two more pictures of cranes: 1. Picture 1: Crane in its habitat 2. Picture 2: Crane soaring over the sea.

1. Fish symbolises abundance. `Every year got fish'. or plenty of food. 2. Fish and a child symbolises `abundance of children' in ancient China. Nowadays, it does not apply to modern communist China where there is a one child family. 3. Gold fish in the second picture symbolises `wealth'.

Another series of auspicious patterns. Part 3: Square Yin Yang contrast designs.

1. Crane symbolizes longevity for the Chinese. Pictures 1 to 5 show different postures of a crane. 2. A picture of a deer symbolizes riches (wealth). It is derived from the phonetic sound that sounds like " good income " or riches. Under Picture 6, it is quite common to see a picture of a crane and deer combined together. Here, the picture symbolises longevity and riches.

Can you spot an eternity loop in this picture?

Can you see the auspicious Swatica emblem on the toes of one of Buddha's foot? (in the attached picture?)

These are four more eternity loop designs. Again, which are auspicious shapes. The `square' designs are common motifs found in homes. Can you imagine them above the doors of Chinese houses?

Although the Swastica sign is associated with Nazi Germany, the Swastica sign or emblem has been used much earlier by the Chinese especially buddhism. The Swastica sign is considered auspicious by the buddhist. Schools have also been given the Swatica sign. In Singapore, there is a School called the Red Swastica School. (Using the Swatica sign but in Red). It is sad that the sign has been associated the Nazi regime and if one sees such sign in China or elsewhere, it does not mean the association with Nazi Germany, far from it. Thus one should not be mistaken for this. You can call this `culture' shock. But if you understand the above, the better:) Did Hitler, got his idea of the Swastica from a Chinese religious object?

Although frogs are considered one of the 5 poisons creatures, to many ancient farmers, it is considered `Heavenly Dew' because of its wet surface. Frogs were commonly found in padi fields and to many farmers, who enjoy eating these delicacies e.g. frog legs.

These patterns or designs are `eternity' loops which signify forever. These clever designs thus simbolise eternity.

Dear Carrie, Based on the Five elements concept, you should wear wood colours e.g. green or brown. Avoid wearing Red, pink or purple. The purpose is to reduce the imbalance caused by too much earth. You must not add more earth, as this cause too much earth. Remember that the Five Elements is all about balance. The imbalance of too much earth should be neutralised by e.g. wood element such as green or wood. You can also consider water element e.g. wearing it. This is because earth destroys water (under 5 elements to create wealth) and thus help exhaust earth element. Wishing you best of luck Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Su Fun, Please see below: Since you are a SW house person, NW is your Longevity sector. Overall, the Eight House Theory is more to look at how suitable e.g. the breadwinner is to the house. In this case, you are considered suitable to the house. Under the Eight House Theory, what is equally important is what is the intangible force for each of you in your bedroom. I am not sure why you want to change your main door. Other than the above, the Eight House cannot tell you much about the birth chart of the house. If you want to consider just the Eight House then it is `fine'. The other theory called the Flying Star is used to find out the birth chart of the house and locate any imbalances and thus one can cure it. Alternatively, it is used to map out the good and bad of each sector of the house. For example, if your bedroom is located at a very auspicious sector and there is a good balance at this location, it is good. Please note that the Eight House thus has limited uses other than what I mentioned above and (it is also used to find which direction to face for work, study) only. You may like to find out more about the Find a Good House report under www.geomancy-online.com We have used it successfully to find out new homes for yourselves and for clients. It analyses all 24 directions of houses in a specific period e.g. 1984 to 2003 Period 7 and any other period. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Users, 1. Many users have requested for samples of auspicious Chinese Symbols. I have gradually added samples (pictures) of auspicious Chinese Symbols. Many designs are common and standard designs. For example, these symbols, patterns and motifs can be found in Chinese `antique' furnitures, decorative panels, crockery etc... 2. This collection of Symbols/ motifs/ patterns is gradually building up under the conference: Photo Tours of Interest. You need to login to the forum in order to view the graphics as it is not feasible to sent to users through the e-mail as these attachments may take up precious email space. 3. In addition, more things Chinese e.g. Chinese culture (pictures) etc.. has been added to the forum. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Attached please find common Chinese circle and triangle patterns. These patterns can often be found on decorative panels, furniture carvings and even window vents.
