myfs_160115 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Dear Master Cecil:I intend to plot in the House Gua and Flying Stars ( both natal and monthly charts ) for my apartment unit. So far, I have done the following:a) Extend the lines to form a square / boxb) Draw the 9 Palaces Grid over the floor planc) Cross the diagonal points to determine the center of the unit.But before I can plot in the numbers, I need to be able to determine which box belongs to which compass direction. So I stand in the center to take a compass direction. The attached plan has all the information. Now the problem is North ( as in 0 degrees North ) is so close to 2 of the palaces, thus making me confused ( By the way, the Facing is not North. I am just trying to confirm North belongs to which Palace so I can plot in the direction for the remaining boxes. ) Can you help me on the following:1) According to my attached plan, should North Palace be the Top Left Box or the Top Center Box?2) Should I encounter such cases again, how should I determine the North palace should be in which box. Any guidelines?3) Once I have plot in the N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE and SW into the boxes, this layout will be the same when I apply 8 Mansions House Gua or Flying Stars right?Thank you,Ivan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 14, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 14, 2015 Frankly, I rarely use the 9 grid method as I personally prefer the pie chart method. Since you are into this; and if you have the time you may consider reading some of the past messages. You can use the Search feature on the TOP left frame of the forum.

myfs_160115 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Dear Master Cecil:After reading through the topics as recommended, I agree that PIE chart seems better. As such, I have redo the plan overlaying the PIE chart in.After seeing it, can you advise me on the following:1) Should Bedroom 2 be under North or Northeast. I understand North is bigger but the door to the bedroom is more of in the NE sector.2) Same goes to Master Bedroom. Should it be under NE or E?3) Which brings me back to the question, how do we differentiate which direction it should be in the same room falls under 2 different directions.Your help is greatly appreciated.Thank you,Ivan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 15, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 15, 2015 Please refer to attached illustration:- 1. A pie chart can help to visualise whereare the external openings? 2. In purple marking "A", itrange from N2 to N3. Thus, this bedroom should have greater influence from? North or north sector. 3. For Master bedroom, the windows or window area (evenif one does not open them or open some or none at all)the Master bedroom should have the greater influence from?NE sector. 4. Thus, the living room can also be considered as greater influence from? North. As the larger visual opening is the balcony vs the "fixed? plane" window. 5. Frankly, even if one applies Flying Stars; right method e.g. Pie vs Grid and common sense prevails. There is nothing so mysterious about it or even other theories or methods. P.S. The key success factor in a Flying Star chart is to determine where the maximum Qi comes into the home or a room from the external. With an aid of the pie chart; here, Master bedroom should be considered under NE sector. While the other bedroom under North.

myfs_160115 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Dear Master Cecil:First and foremost, thank you so much for clearing my views on PIE vs 9-Grid. Your reply also help me to ascertain BR2 and MBR belongs to which sector. But one of your statement baffles me:Thus, the Quote living room can also be considered asgreater influence from? North. As thelarger visual opening is the balcony vsthe "fixed? plane" window.So is my living room NW or N? If it is N too, does it mean both my BR2 and Living belongs to N? If so, where does the NW sector goes?Lastly, I will like to ask, can we sleep with feet pointed to windows? What if we kee that window permanently closed with curtains drawn. Does it make any difference if we cannot sleep with feet pointed to windows.Thank you,Ivan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the attachment; the clue is: West sector = Refer to SW. Here, you mean, do or die, I must somehow even if I slam my head against the wall to find a sector for West? 4. You also wrote: "Lastly, I will like to ask, can we sleep with feet pointed to windows? What if we kee that window permanently closed with curtains drawn. Does it make any difference if we cannot sleep with feet pointed to windows." 4.1 The above is based on two concepts: 4.1.1. Pure common sense 4.1.2. Symbolism - avoid legs face a door or window 4.2 Under 4.1.1. Pure common sense. If you unit is at ground floor or 2nd floor. Common sense says that if the window is visible to the public or outsider; standing outside the development; and if it is a girl, may get to see her undies etc... 5. As you mentioned, a sensible solution may be is to draw down the curtains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 16, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 16, 2015 In this additional illustration: If Master bedroom belongs to SE? If so, where does East sector goes? Clue: there is such thing as : "Refer to SE", please. Quote On 7/16/2015 1:44:41 PM, Anonymous wrote: These are some considerations:-1.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 29, 2023 Staff Share Posted July 29, 2023 Feng Shui suffers a bad reputation, today. Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store. Their core business is not authentic Feng Shui. But rather making big bucks by selling lots of useless commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. Please give me a good reason not to buy such products. Here's one: Okay, the above was written prior to the knowledge of COV-19. Here’s to another reason, why. Many Feng Shui Masters and their shops are FAKES! On Saturday, 14 March 2020, a WhatsApp from a past client P.S. Frankly, I was just being extremely polite. Actually if one got the hint, as the British always say just throw the "bloody" thing away! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
