Only then, can you add your water/wood (as there is too little in your chart). If you just add Water, which exhaust your metal, it weakens you immediately. Then if you add wood, the wood destory your Earth, and strengthen the Fire. The goal is to bring your percentage in harmony. You must always boost up your favourable elements first, then add in elements which you lack (even if they fall in your unfavourable elements). To add your unfavourable elements first, before boosting up the elements that make you strong will actually make you weaker than you already are. Though, it is not wrong of your other master to say that Water+Wood is what you lack ispartially correct. However, as you are still a weak Metal, adding water/wood directly without your favourable elements will weaken your first before it brings you any benefit. So the more accurate form is they are good only with the supplement of Earth/Metal first.

Edited by Robert: Please be advised that I have just revised the yearly forecast to implement some of the newly ideas to make the forecast report clearer. You should be able to generate a new updated report that should clear the doubts you have. Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Thus, I should ignore the pair of chinese characters on the left of the calendar in your sample link as it says that Jan 2005 is a 'tiger' month. Pls. correct me as I was told that the lunar (chinese) calendar first month is 'tiger' month. So, if the calendar is referring toWestern Calendar, why is the Jan 2005 also a 'tiger' month? Unless, in 2005, the lunar January month is the same as the western january month. Technically, the right way is to view the calendar in the lunar calendar format, then there won't be any confusion. But to make it easy for users to view the days as per a full calendar year, that is why I choose to formatted the display list the dates as per a normal calendar 1 Jan to 31 Dec of that year. Because of that, it would be impossible to properly show the proper representation of the month. As some days within thewestern monthmay fall in different lunar months as it will span between two different calendar which makes it confusing. PS: I have already revised a new yearly forecast layout topresent what I originally want to show in a clearer manner and it should solve the previous lunar/western month conflict.I now separate the year/month from the daily analysis. In addition, I now show the Lunar dates within the daily calendar. This way users will know what is the lunar date it represent while retaining the normalSun-Satwestern calendar formatting.

Dear Shaunna, Shaunna Repa wrote: So, are you saying aHOUSE doesn't have a Gua # only the PERSON? I'm still somewhat confused. The information I read kept talking about the house's Gua # based on its sitting position but gave no further info on how to figure it out. Sorry, don't mean to be a pest. Thanks, Shaunna Generally, when it comes to the house, the best analysis is the Flying Star (Xuan Kong Feng Shui) chart. Determine your main door facing positions, and then you will be able to chart out a numerology chart that is based on the 9 numbers. Given it uses the 24 mountains, directions, it allows you to chart out many unique variations of luck for a house depending on what period the house is built. This also bases on the what is the facing or sitting position of the house. But to avoid confusion, as long as you know the facing compass degree of your house (ie 0 degree = North N2). You will be able to determine your flying star chart of the house which determines the earth luck of a house. Under the Eight House (ba zhai) concept. The method that is always used is determining the Gua of a person which tells you which are your 4 good and 4 bad directions. From that, it works out the 8 different types of chart and variations. This is a useful calculation as it helps a person determines whether a house is suitable or not. The Gua sitting / facing position will actually be the foundation that is used in conjuction with the working of the flying star. But it is not really used on it's own. So really, the flying star (xuan kong feng shui) is what you would normally use for the assessment of the house. Hope that helps.

Dear Erwin, Frankly, I have no time to really go through the details you provided. However, I can quickly tell you that any chart that has too many clashes/harm tends to denote lots of quarrels or difference between the two person. So the 1st person even though the element is oppositee, can still be resolved by having a binding element to help improve the relationship. However, the 2nd person that has multiple clashes between the chart tends to more likely quarrel between or have major conflicts. Especially if there are major clashes or a total of 4 or more multiple clashes. However, ultimately in any relationship, the human luck factor is also as important.

Dear Amelia, amelia seah wrote: Can you enlighten me on the centrepoint of my house please? The best method for this kind of odd shaped layout, is to use the center of gravity method. Paste a copyof this layout on a cardboard. Then cut the outline of the layout. Take a pin or pen to balance the cut out layout. Where it balances properly. That should be the centerpoint of the house. I cut the normal printout (without the cardboard)and it balances around this X. As i did not paste it on the cardboard, it may not be as accurate as there is not enough weight to properly balance it. But it should be more or less around that point. So to confirm, just follow the method I methoned above. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi! My birthday is on the 26th August 1981, birth time is between 1100-1300. I read the free report and find out that my bazi self element is a weak fire. However Lillian Too said my self element is a strong fire. Can you help with my confusion? The birthchart that I showed Lillian is the same with no error,so am I a strong or weak self element? Frankly, our free chart is not crippled in anyway, so if it determines you as a weak fire, then you are a weak fire. There are a lot of factors to consider before one can determine accurately as a weak or strong element. I presume this is for a female, right? Then your five element breakdown would be:- 3 Water Strong 31 % 1 Wood Extremely Weak 2 % 5 Fire Weakest 26 % 0 Earth Weak 0 % 3 Metal Strongest 39 % Though, it may seem that you are a strong fire just because there is 5 fire, but bear in mind that it is weakest fire. So 5 Fire only makes up 26%. As a weak fire, this means what is favourable for a weak fire are wood (2%) + fire (26%) = 28% favourable elements. What makes a weak fire weak would be water which destory fire, and metal that destroy wood. So your unfavourable elementare water (31%) + metal (39%) = 70% unfavorurable elements. Earth element can exhaust your fire and also destroy water your unfavourable element. So it is a double edged element. So it will cancel itself out in the end. Given there is 70% unfavourable vs 28% favourable element, that is why we consider your element asa weak fire and not a strong fire.This is after a careful determination of any combinations / clashes / seasonal strength etc, broken down in exact percentage value. Our free report although does not show you all the details, will give you the exact same results as a paid analysis. This means, that we will consider you a weak fire rather than strong fire. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: When it says Jan (or Month 1), does this refer to the normal calendar OR is this refering to the Chinese Calendar? For example, if Jan is refering to the normal calendar, then the Jan '08 should be roughly referring to the month 12 of 2007 in the Chinese Calendar since normal calendar 7th Feb 2008 is the first day of new year, meaning it is the month 1 2008 of Chinese calendar. I believe you are referring to our yearly ba zi forecast as in this link, am I correct? URL: http://www.geomancy.net/products/po-bazi/bazidemo_yearlyforecast.htm Our yearly forecast, will show the month as per the normal western calendar calendar month. For example in the above link,when it shows 2 Jan 2005 for example, it is actaully analysing the 22 day, 11 month and 2004 year in the lunar calendar. As most people will use the western calendar, so we format the yearly forecast to show the normal western calendar format rather than the lunar calendar format. So when it says Month 1, 2005, it refers the Jan 2005 western month. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Lemonade Chua, lemonade chua wrote: I am just curious whether does one can tell from my Za Zi whether this person is fated to be with me? A person is usually influenced by 3 forms of luck:- 1. Heaven Luck - Luck that you are born with. 2. Earth Luck - Luck from your home and surrounding. 3. Human Luck - Luck from your relationship and your own hard work. So in terms of any relationship the human luck factor plays the most important part. Although, it is possible to deduce relationship compatibilty in your ba zi and horoscope, the ultimate factor depends on your human luck. For any two relationship to last, it takes two person's effort to make it work. So putting effort to spend more time with each other and being able to tolerate each other's fault etc. All these will play an important part in making a relationship work. From your ba zi or horoscope, you can only tell whether the two are compatible or what might be common to help smoothen relationship. Such as the common colour scheme etc. The rest depends on both person's human luck effort to make a relationship a long lasting one. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Is having a TV really bad inbedroom The rational behind a TV being bad is only because in the past the TV screens are more of those reflective types. Which looks similiar to a mirror. So it is said that when you sleep, your spirit leaves your body. It may get a shock when it sees itself in the TV screen. So this is why a TV is typically deemed bad. However, what if your spirit is the type that wants to look good, it will see itself in the TV, then comb your hair to before flying off. So ultimately, this is a matter individual perception. Furthermore, now-a-days with the LCD TV, there isn't any reflection at all. Furthermore, TV is a form of entertainment that is a form of relaxation. Life is short, if you can't even enjoy the TV what's the point of living or working so hard. So really, it is not a concern at all. If you like watching TV, then having it will relax you, so go ahead.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Please provide information with tips about proper feng shui for a hexagon shaped bedroom. Frankly, you still use the same tools and advice for a square or odd shaped room. 1. Determine where is the door, and avoid placing the bed in positions that it faces the door etc:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-bedroom.htm 2. You also have to use theeight house to determine which sector of the bedroom falls in your better sector, then place the bed closer to that sectorr. 3. Also, based on your eight house, you can determined which of the directions would be best for your sleeping position. Once you determine all that, then you can know which are the available positions your bed, table etc. In any case, an odd-shaped room would make it harder to place some furnitures. So sometimes one way is to create custom wardobe that can cover up the odd shapped.In case of a Hexagon, it s likely that the bed will have to be placed in the walls that are parrallel to each other. While the two more triangular shaped wall will be harder to place normal furnitures. So you may need some custom furnitures. Or one way is to build custom furnitures to make the room more squarish. In any case, you will need to review the room and then try to optimise the room as best as you can to suit your ba zi/eight house and the flying star of the house. Hope that helps.

Dear Shaunna, Shaunna Repa wrote: How does a sector's element affect a fix for a star combination? For example, my NE sector has 1e/2w/6m combo, I need to place Metal to exhaust the 2w and enhance the 6m and 1e. This is an Earth sector so does this have any affect on my remedy? To be frank, sectors element is fixed for everyone as that is based on the direction. So North is like Water element. This means everyone's north is Water element. So it is a little less personalised then the flying star sector which is based on the house's luck. So it is more important to fix anything that is more personalised first and anything that is general will have least priority. So the cures such as Metal in the sector is to balance the unbalanced sector. It won't have directly impact over the fact that it is an Earth sector. Shaunna Repa wrote: Also what is done when say the annual or monthly star is a 2 or 5, do I put more Metal to remedy it or does the natal fix take care of it as well? Any help would be appreciated. Shaunna The yearly / monthly stars will only impact that year or that month. The more important thing is to fix up the 20-year stars which is the main influence thataffects sectors of that house. At most, some may make some yearly revisions just to fix up any annual stars. However, no one will really make changes on a monthly basis. I mean feng shui is all about creating harmony, once you have balanced everything (ie choosing the right colour scheme for the room, the right furniture placement, the rightcures to fix up the rooms etc). It should not be a hassle, such as to worry about the daily/monthly changes. Then every day/month you move things around just to get maximise the daily/monthly luck. This is really a waste of your time and energy. You see a person has 3 forms of luck:- Heaven Luck - is luck that you are born with. Earth Luck - is luck from your home and surrounding. Human Luck - is luck from your relationship with others and your own hard work. So really, once you have balanced up the house, then you just need to put in the human luck effort to get it to work. And not worry about making minor changes every day/month. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Luna, Luna Geomancy wrote: So I read that changing names can have effects on a person's luck. And this applies to people with Chinese names. What about those with English names only? Unfortunately, the name stroke analysis was designed mainly for Chinese Names only. So there isn't analysis system that was converted for English Names. There are however, some analysis that bases on the assignining each english alphabet with a five element. So probably it is still possible to use the number characters in the name in some way. But given, this is not a traditional analysis method, so there is no way anyone can tell if they can replicate an similiar calculation system similiar to the Chinese Name analysis.

What can I do to fix it? If the stairs directly face the door, then that is inauspicious. This is because the steps is like sha qi, so if it faces the door, it is like a sha qi cutting the main door. However, from what you describe so far, since the stairs does not appear to face the main door directly, so it does not appear to be a major issue. The only issue to consider is the number of steps. ie Auspicious Steps are like:- 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20.

Dear Marie, Frankly, the daily flying star is found in the tung shu. So there is really no need to calculate it if any. Furthermore, daily flying star isn't really practical as no one in the right mind will want to make changes to your home every day. So just look up the tung shu will do. There really isn't a formula available.If you really want to have a formula, then you need to work out your own formula from a fix date sometime in the past. Then using that fix date, you will be able to work out a constant difference to apply to any date. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Hence, my birth hour for Bazhi analysis is different before and after 1982. Which one should I use? See link. Thanks. http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/teaching/timezone.html This is exactly, why one of the reasons we do not apply timezone as method to determine the location of birth is due to the simplication of the timezone. Anyway, the timezone only affect one which is the longitude which represents east/west. So it only factor in one factor of the long. and lat. of birth. That is why this is a very bad way to apply location factor into ba zi. And we do not apply long. and lat. of birth to ba zi for a simple fact not everyone record the long. and lat. of birth. So best to just use the local time of birthl. I am sure when you are born, the time recorded should be the timezone before any changes were made to the timezone.

Dear Talice Ang, TALICE ANG wrote: I just purchase one unit of HDB, the construction of the block is at period 7, but the house owner did a renovation last year,when i using your free flying star report i should select period 7 or 8. Whether or not it is a period 8, depends on how major the renovation work. I mean if there is confirm hacking down of walls or even major floor tiles changes, these are usually major enough to force a change of Qi to period 8. Otherwise, it would be safer to classify as a Period 7 house first. In any case, you can always fly the house chart to period 8. So probably you want to ask yourself if you plan to have any major renovation after you move-in. If you do, then youcan treat it as a period 8. If not, then to eliminate any doubt, it is still better to fly the house luck to period 8 so that you can activate the current period 8 stars luck. Rather than worry if it is still a period 7 or perio 8. TALICE ANG wrote: And this unit is at 10 floor i should the the direciton of the house from main door or the window? Since it is above 8th floor, then it is recommended to take the living room/balcony facing direction or where most light enters into the house. That will be the facing direction you should take rather than the main door. Only if your house is located on the 2nd-7th level, then you take the main door as your facing direciton. TALICE ANG wrote: I friend told me that the main door(located at south) is the no 5 star and is very bad for the family, what can i do to encounter this? You really have to see what is the stars in that sector. I mean for almost all chart, the star 5 and star 2 which are the misfortune and illness star will always be found in one of the 9sector. It is worst if say 3 of the stars in the same sector is 525 for example. So yes, star 5 maybe bad, but it depends on what other stars is present. It is the interaction of the stars that determines how bad the sector is.Some stars may neutralise the star 5 such as star 6 strong metal can help to neutralise the effect. Generally if there is a star 5 which is a Strong Earth star, then avoid bright yellow/bright red colour. Metal (white/gold) influence colours would be best. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hello I'm confused as to which time I'm supposed to put to calculate my ba zi chart. Are you supposed to always use Beijing, China time or do you put the time for where you born? I was born in New York, USA after 2am on March 17, 1981. Do I use that time and date, or do I have to convert it to china time and date? 1. The only true way to factor in location is to apply the long. (longitude) and lat. (latitude) of birth. However, in reality how many people actually record the exact long. and lat. of birth? I mean even if you know you are born roughly in a hospital, the hospital also have different long. and lat. depending on which part of the building you are on. 2. GMT difference is a very bad or inaccurate way to apply location factor, as it does not really factor in the true location. Furthermore, GMT has been simplified so much that it now groups certain country into a single timezone. So again, it does not show the true location factor. 3. If you know how ba zi works, the hour pillar isn't really the most important pillar, as such even if you do not have the hour, the ba zi can still forecast a fairly accurate prediction. That is because the luck forecast depends more on the month pillar than the hour. 4. Ultimately, how a ba zi deduce what you lack is by working out what are the breakdown of elements affecting you. Ultimately, if you calculate them properly, you will be able to properly balance out what you lack. Thus our stand is simply just to use your local time of birth for any ba zi or feng shui reports on our website. We do not really apply any further time changes. It is more important to work out what you lack and try to balance them up. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

As a fresh graduate, I also have not much luck in my career, even though I did quite well in school. What can I do to improve things? Generally, there are a few wealth sectors. This was based on your eight house which means that if your house can face SE or have your bedroom in SE sector then you will benefit from such house giving you additional wealth luck from your being suitable to you. So this you need to worry when you have your own house in the future. If you are currently staying with your parents etc, then it won't really matter except for the bedroom to fall within suitable sector so that you can benefit from staying in the room. Even if you do not have this, every house itself also have the wealth (zheng cai/pian cai) luck based on where the current/future auspicious stars. These are flying star sectors which you need use to maximise the luck of the house. So even if the house isn't the most suitable for you, you still be able to draw luck from it. hazel wrote: Also, in your 'What color should I paint my bedroom?' report, it says "using colours which is the two different parties Binding Element, you can use the pillars comparison to help determine this binding element."

If you are the only person staying in the room, then choose any of your favourable colours from your ba zi. hazel wrote: Then, in my BaZi analysis, it says "Your career ie a Job favourable for you are:- * Water - Advertising, Arts, Communications, etc * Fire - Marketing, Sales, Fashion, etc".

You can refer to this chart for general five element and career breakdown:- URL: http://talk.geomancy.net Food related industry is Earth element. Quality Assurance and Food distribution is more Wood element.

Generally, the Eight House has 4 good or 4 bad directrions. Spook is what we call wu gui (five ghost sector). Generally, that means if you work facing such direction, you may be distracted easily. That is all. hazel wrote: I am also aware my best position for working is North, and have position my computer facing north. But my relative has warned me that next year (2008) is bad for me to face North, I should face East because of TaiSui. Is this correct? Genrally, you need to always remember that TaiSui (Grand Duke) is more general compared to your personalised direction. Yes, it is always changing from year to year. However, the more important aspect about TaiSui is avoid having major renovations in the North and if possible try to avoid facing him. So unless you have another position that does not face North and is suitable for you to use, then you can consider using the alternative direction. Otherwise, as long as you do not plan to have any major renovations, it won't affect you very much. I mean it is just not practical to avoid using that sector just because the TaiSui is there for that year. Especially, if there is no other sitting position for you to make use of. So where there is no other sitting position, sitting in your better direction facing the grand duke is even better than sitting in your bad direction away from grand duke. But in any case, avoid any major renovations and you should be ok. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Anyway, since you repost a recent message to look into it. I will just correct the area you got wrong:- Anonymous wrote: 1) Asher self element is FIRE, bornin the 3rd monthof Winter (per lunar calender), when WATER is most prosperousand FIRE at its weakest (put out by water), how can she can be aStrong Fire? Anonymous wrote: 2) Being born in Winter when Water is most prosperous and dominates,why does herseason of birthunder the Month pillarearthly branchshowsWood? Shouldn't this be Water insteadwhich was in season? And if so, wouldn't this then make her a Weak Fire? (I have read books which suggested so) I did not waste time to attempt to guess the exact date of birth. However, since you mentioned she was born in the 3rd month of the Windeter season. Then the season of birth would beEarth element influence and not water element. 1st month Winter - Water 2nd month Winter - Water 3rd month Winter - Earth You see there are basically 4 seasons. But there are 5 elements. So the Earth element would be missing if every 3 months is assigned to the Water/Wood/Metal/Fire. But where is the Earth? In fact, every 3rd month of all seasons will thus be theEarth element. This is due to the in-between seasons. So if you mentioned 3rd month of winter, then it is Earth element and not Water element. So the seasonal strength is based on Earth element season and not Water element season. Also, to deduce whether a person is weak or strong, just considering the season's and basic element representation isn't enough. You have to still consider the combinations and clashes that may alter the original element. And then after all those factor are considered. That is why for our report, we considered all these changes then we make out a mathematical formula that will convert it into percentage values. With percentage values of what is the exact element represented, it is very easy to determine if favourable elements vs unfavourable elements is greater. From there, you will know for sure if it is weak or strong. If you do not consider all these factors, it is very easy for you to deduce an inaccurate element strength. In the case of our reports, they are all extensively tested, as such if our free report shows asa Strong Fire, then she is a Strong Fire. If our report shows it as a weak Fire, then she is a weak Fire. The results won't differ from the paid report. Except that we do not show you the exact percentage breakdown which is only available in the paid report.

Would the hidden element of Water help to balance her chart? (formed by combination of Yang Fire + yin metal in the stem). Hidden element combinations are usually not strong enough, so we normally do not consider them directly. The hidden element would be most useful in the luck pillar analysis more than your own chart. Usually, once the five element percentage breakdown is determined, we will try to make sure every element is 20%. This means among the favourable element, which element is most lacking would be the most favourable followed by the other element. Then amongs the unfavourable element, the element that is too much must be avoided. While, if the unfavourable element has too little, some of that along with the favourable elements will actually be good. Hope that helps.

Dear Tristan, Quote: As a weak water person, I am currently dealing with insurance(earth) sales(fire), which are both unfavourable.It states that my favourable elements are metal and water, does it mean that it would be better for me to move into fields with such elements present? Which industries does such elements entail? As a weak water, your general favourable elements are water and wood. As to which element you lack more, etc that will depend on what is your five element percentage breakdown. Generally, this means any water or wood element careers would be better for you. Here is a link with some common breakdown of five element and career. URL: http://talk.geomancy.net/ So wood elements would be like cafe/arpentry/catering/distribution, engineering, electronics, filming, growth, hospital, new technology, paper, plants, restaurants, scifentific instruments, teachnology, transport, training, travel etc. While water elements would be like advertising, arts, brewing, communications, computers, drinks, healing, laundry, literature, manufacturing, media, music, therapy etc. Generally, the more areas in your life that is wood/water, ie the colour scheme, the house facing/direction, people around you etc. The more that is water and wood related, the better your overall luck.
