This is really a very common issue that most couples face. However, it isn't really too difficult to resolve. All you need to do is to apply the give and take solution. ie. The house must be favourable to the Breadwinner. So the breadwinner will gain luck from the house. Then the bedroom should be allocated to the spouse so that she will be able to draw luck from the bedroom. The most important is to have the breadwinner having a house suitable to him/her. The rest of the family member should just have a bedroom that is suitable for them to stay in. If you follow this rule, it shouldn't be hard apply this concept.

Dear Anny, (TRUDY) TU CAM AU wrote: Our house started to built in mid 2005 and finish in January 2006. The front entrance has a double door; the builder has just put a street light in the front of the house and (the post is black and is mental) if we stand inside the house and look out the light is just on the left side door (not in the centre of the double door) is this consider a bad fungshui if so what is the cure for it. Also the builder is going to plant a tree in front of the house as well. Hopefully not in the middle of the front door or anywhere near the front door the middle of the door and if are we in really bad fengshui? and is there a cure for it?. My kua# is 1 and dh is 2 and daughter is 8. Please help us. As long as the street light cuts the main door, it is considered inauspicious and is deemed a sha qi. Especially so if it is very close to your home. If distance is quite far, then it is less of a problem. Under the feng shui rule, as long as you cannot see it, it no longer becomes a threat or problem. A. One solution is to plant some plant(s) that can help to block the street light from cutting into the house. Alternatively, any fence tall enough etc, can also help. B. If not possible to put plants between the street light and door, then inside your door, if you have space, you can install a partition to prevent the sha qi directlyentering into the house. At least this screen will block the sha qi from entering deeper into the house. The last resort if the above two solutions are not possible might require the use of a mirror/bagua to deflect the sha qi. Try to avoid this, as often this will induce a bagua war with your neighbour. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi Master...i wanted to know if my unit number is auspicious...however, i'm not sure what is the year the house was built. Mine is a condo, just TOP in Oct 2006. Thus may i know wats considered "the year the house was built"?would it be TOP date? Completion date? or the date developer got the land? Houses built between(1984-2003) are considered Period 7 houses. Houses built after 2004 are consdiered Period 8 houses. Usually, you should take theyearwhen the developement is completed and ready for people to stay. So the TOP date is a safe date to use since it is means that the developement is ready for people to stay in. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, There are currently 3 formula available to calculate the Gua Number:- Method 1 Male Calculation - Subtract the last two numbers of your year of birth from 100 and divide by 9. - The remainder is the number of your Gua. - If there is no remainder, you should take the Gua number 9. For Example: Born in 1970, 100 - 70 = 30 30 divided by 9 = 3 remainder 3 Your Gua number is 3 Females Calculation - Subtract 4 from the last two numbers of your year of birth and divide by 9. - The remainder is the number of your Gua. - If there is no remainder you should take the Gua number 9. For Example: Born in 1970 70 - 4 = 66 66 divided by 9 = 7 remainder 3 Your Gua number is 3 Method 2 Male Calculation - Take the year of birth - Add the last two digits to get a single number - Deduct from 10. For Example: Born in 1970 7 + 0 = 7 10 - 7 = 3 Your Gua number is 3 Female Calculation - Take the year of birth - Add the last two digits to get a single number - Add 5 to this single number - Add the two digits to a single number. This will be your Gua no. For Example: Born in 1970 7 + 0 = 7 5 + 7 = 12 ; 1 + 2 = 3 Your Gua number is 3 Method 3 Male Calculation - Take the year of birth - Add all four digits to get a single number - Deduct from 11. For Example: Born in 1970 1 + 9 + 7 + 0 = 17; 1 + 7 = 8 11 - 8 = 3 Your Gua number is 3 Female Calculation - Take the year of birth - Add all four digits to get a single number - Add 4 to this single number - Add the two digits to a single number. This will be your Gua no. For Example: Born in 1970 1 + 9 + 7 + 0 = 17; 1 + 7 = 8 4 + 8 = 12 ; 1 + 2 = 3 Your Gua number is 3 As you can see all three methods (1, 2 & 3) can be used to find out the Gua number and get the same results. Please note that the above two methods of calculations also apply for those born in the year 2000 or ending with 00. Except there is a change in the constant value every century. Method 1 Constant Value for year 2000, for Male is 99 instead of 100, while for Female is -3 instead of -4. Calculating Method 1 Male constant value change. eg. 1900. Take 1 + 9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1 (the 19 century) add it to value 101. (101 - [21+9+10=1+0=1]) = 99. eg. 2000. Take 2 + 0 (the 20 century) add it to value 101. (101 - [2+0]) = 99. eg. 2100. Take 2 + 1 (the 21 century) add it to value 101. (101 - [2+1]) = 98. Calculating Method 1 Female constant value change. eg. 1900. Take 1 + 9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1 (the 19 century) add it to value -5. ([1+9=10=1+0=1] - 5) = -4. eg. 2000. Take 2 + 0 (the 20 century) add it to value -5. ([2+0] - 5) = -3. eg. 2100. Take 2 + 1 (the 21 century) add it to value -5. ([2+1] - 5) = -2. Method 2 Constant Value for year 2000, for Male is 9 instead of 10, while for Female is 6 instead of 5. Calculating Method 2 Male constant value change. eg. 1900. Take 1 + 9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1 (the 19 century) add it to value 11. (11 - [1+9=10=1+0=1]) = 10. eg. 2000. Take 2 + 0 (the 20 century) add it to value 11. (11 - [2+0]) = 9. eg. 2100. Take 2 + 1 (the 21 century) add it to value 11. (11 - [2+1]) = 8. Calculating Method 2 Female constant value change. eg. 1900. Take 1 + 9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1 (the 19 century) add it to value 4. (4 + [1+9=10=1+0=1]) = 5. eg. 2000. Take 2 + 0 (the 20 century) add it to value 4. (4 + [2+0]) = 6. eg. 2100. Take 2 + 1 (the 21 century) add it to value 4. (4 + [2+1]) = 7. Method 3 No change is necessary. -- So far you have been working on method 2. Both method 1 and 2 are flawed in the sense that it only works for those born in 1900-1999. As the constant is for male is 10. But this constant value has to be change very century. So it is not an efficient calculation method to use. You should instead opt for method 3 which will no further constant modifier is necessary for every change in century. Anonymous wrote: My question : Why is our Gua number determine using the Geogian calander with a baseline dated back 1971 years ago ? And adding the last 2 digit has somewhat dissociated the original quality of the year number (so that 8 has no correlation with 71)? As mentioned above, method 1 and 2 are method that requires you to change the constant every century. So they are flawed. The gua number is actually determined from your lunar calendar. But since both calendar is based on year to year changes. So the only difference lies in that you first need to ensure that you are taking your LUNAR YEAR of birth instead of GREGORIAN YEAR. The formula is derived from knowing how to find the common factor to allow you to determine the gua number from any specific year. That you can based on any mathematical formula to find the constant value that will work for all years. That is how method 3 was derived. In fact, that is also how method 1 and 2 were worked out. Just that, when method 1 and 2 was worked out, the method assumes that you are calculating for people born in that century only. That is all. To be frank, with a chinese alamac (tung shu), this information is found there already, so no need for most of the people in the past to have to claculate it. But in modern day, most people are able to derive the constant to be able to easily calculate the gua rather than looking up in the tung shu. So these method were derived. Don't you agree that with such a formula, you don't need to have to refer to the tung shu? So that is how these method came into being the default method for calculating the Gua. Anonymous wrote: Another question : Howin ancienttime does people calculate the Gua ? According to the chinese almanc, the most recent baseline isat AD1949 (China come under a new regime). The same princple applies.Even in ancient chinese, there are very wise and learned man that are able to calculate changes in stars etc. So such method of calculation are most likely available. Just that they will not be mathematically recorded. Instead, they will probably use like a chinese verse or poem to remember some form of rules in calculating these changes. Also, the luopan contains also many method of determining many calculations just by adjusting the rings accordingly. So in the past usually it is some verse or tools that help them determine these calculation. In modern days, we use mathematical formula to be able to easily calculate it. As long as the formula used is correct, there is really no issue to calculate any date even in the ancient or in the present time.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Here is a dilemma I have been puzzled about. I wanted to know how does Annual star affect the 20 year stars (mine is period 7). Do I keep the same color cure for the whole20 year stars or I need to change the colors according to my Annual star treatment? The annual stars will influence the luck for that year itself. You should always correct the 20-year stars first, since it influence most of the luck for the house. Then fine tune the cures slightly for the year itself. When you fine tune your cires, look out for the problem stars like star 5/2. Those are the sectors you may need to add additional cures for the year. For example, if the base star has star 2, then a star 2/5 comes in for the year. That sector may need more Metal element cures. Anonymous wrote: What element will a windchime withglass pieces hanging instead of the chimes be? Usually for windchimes, the number of rod that is displayed that will influence part of the element of the windchime. ie 5 rod windchime is earth, 6 rod windchime is Metal. While, the material will influence the other portion of the element. So if 5 rod winchime it will be earth-water element. if 6 rod windchime it will metal-water element. Hope that helps.

Dear Jess, Jess Lim wrote: I am a yin water born in spring where water is weak... However, the Bazi Report shown that i am a strong yin water. I am confuse. I already mentioned to you, there are several more factors to consider such as whether or not any combinations or clashes takes place within your chart. Some of that will impact the final number of the five element count in your chart. In you chart for example, yes you may be born in the season where you water is weak. But even if it is weak, if there are sufficient favourable elements vs your unfavourable element, you will still be strong:- Element Strength Percentage 4 Water Weak 30 % 3 Wood Strongest 38 % 1 Fire Strong 10 % 0 Earth Extremely Weak 0 % 4 Metal Weakest 20 % In your case, you are a water element person. Your seasons of birth is Spring which makes Water weak. But as you have 4 weak water (30%) and 4 Weakest Metal (20%). Your total favourable element percentage is 50%. A water person, unfavourable elements are 0% Extremely weak Earth (destroy your favourable water) and 10%of 1 Strong Fire (destroy your favourable metal). So total unfavourable is 10% Wood element can destroy Earth (your unfavourable element), it can also exhaust your Water (your favourable element), and can also help Fire (your unfavourable element). So it cannot be considered in the initial equation as it cancel itself out. Favourable (water+metal) 50% So the best career if possible is a mixed of both Earth and Fire. ie Sales and Marketing(Fire) in Construction industry (Earth). So it contains both element.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I am confuse if i am a weak or strong bitrh element... What did our free ba zi report from this link tell you? URL: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm As our free report isn't crippled in any way, the results that it analysed will be the exact same result we will assess you if you obtain the paid report. This means if it tells you that you are a weak water, then you are indeed a weak water. The only difference is that in the free report, it does not show you why or how it obtain the final five element breakdown. Anonymous wrote: But I have 3 metal and 3 water elements to support my birth element. Does they turn me into a strong water? These 3 metal and 3 water means nothing if you do not process it along with other factors that will alter the initial element strengthen and percentage. A) If 3 metal is of extremely weak and 3 water is of weakest category, then it is very different compared to 3 strongest and 3 strong water. So the number 3 itself means absolutely nothing if you do not associate it with the strengthen of the seasons. B) Also, more importantly, you may initially have 3 metal or 3 water, but once you process the combinations and clashes, some of your intiial elements may lose its properties and get converted to say an unfavourable element that makes you weak. So finally, you might only have 1 metal 2 water, and more of your unfavourable elements. Thus, you will also likely to be weak. So unless you have considered the above changes into your chart, your initial five element breakdown means nothing really. It is after all these information is processed and then you get a proper percentage breakdown of the five element, then you can really tell how weak or strong you are. This is where our free report/paid report already have done so. Therefore, if it has assessed you as a weak water. Then the percentage of your metal+water is definately lesser than the percentage of the unfavourable elements. Just that these information are not revealed in the free report. Users are therefore supposed to assess these information themselves. Anonymous wrote: What it means when I don?t have earth element in my bazi chart? You have to first confirm that there are no combinations that convert existing elements into earth element. And not just based on the basic five element present in your initial/raw ba zi chart. If there is really lacking in a certain element, this usually means not so balanced chart. Therefore, the first thing that is associated with such a chart is usually more potential health issues. As too much or too little a percentage in the five element often results in a person with potentially higher health issues. Also, this means that this person may lack several deities as compared to a more balanced chart. Beyond that a full review of the chart is required to be able to tell more.

Dear Marisol Colon, Marisol Colon wrote: I am a bit confused. I was wondering for instance my husband's Death area (Metal) is West so what do I do here, do I just leave this area alone or do I use another element other than Metal to sort of protect him? I also know that balancing the elements is important. Correct me if I am wrong but to enhance his Propserity area which is South (Fire) I am just going to add a fire element to this area. The Eight House which gives you the 4 good and 4 bad directions are meant to assess suitability for the room or the best directions. So if Death (West) sector) is inauspicious, then it is best that the house does not face West or the bedroom which he spends most of the time in does not fall under the west sector. This means that if it is unsuitable, just spend less time in this room for any important event (ie working/sleeping etc). As this is about suitability, you can't just correct or enhance it. Just do not use it or make sure you are facing your good direction for any important work/sleep position etc. What you canenhance is based on your ba zi:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm ie. if you are a weak water for example, than metal/water will tend to make you stronger and thus considered your favourable element. Then you can use this the reference information in this link to boost up the various areas related to water (ie North facing, colours like blue/black/gray, career such as arts etc). URL: http://talk.geomancy.net So where your suitability issues cannot be corrected or enhance, then you should focus to enhance your ba zi. Make it better by choosing the right house facing, the right career, the right colours for your clothes/car/room decor etc. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: under 8 pie wedge it produces only 8 cells missing centre palace. Yes, 8 pie divides the sector into 8 sectors. That is why you need to add a circle in the center which provides for the center sector. That is why Cecil mentioned the apricot. The core in the center will cover for the missing center center influence that the 8 pie missed. This is actually the method most professional use when assessing feng shui. As it divides the sector equally into each sphere of influence. But it may be harder for some to apply because some area which is divided in between may be harder for most people to decide which sector influence is greater.

Dear Tan Poh Lee, Quote: However, i have studied and found that my self element is yin water. My favorable elements is Fire, metal and earth. I mean yin water does not really tell you whether or not a person is weak or strong. Therefore, you won't know what are your favourable elements. Based on our reports, you are a weak yin water. A weak water person will generally mean that metal and water elements are generally lacking in your chart, therefore, metal and water are favourable for you. A strong water person will generally mean that you have too much water and metal and thus making you strong. So the elements that help to exhaust your elements are good for you ie wood, fire, earth. In feng shui where you only know the weak or strong characteristics, you use the above definition to correct the elements you lack. However, you can always further fine tune the analysis when you know the exact percentage of the elements you have in your chart. This is available to the paid reports only. But it will give you a percentage breakdown of your element so that you can fine tune your elements. For example if you are a weak water, but if you have 0% metal and 10% water, this means you lack more metal than water. So Metal will be the most favourable element you lack in your chart, than compared to Water. If your percentage is such as 10% metal and 0% water, then you lack more water than metal.So we based on that to fine tune which elements you need more. Quote: 1)should u focus on career element which is of your self element ? When you look at career. Everyone will have their own career with wealth, career with power and authority, and suitable career. Again, the full paid report will show you this information. But in general, usually only strong element person will benefit from having career with wealth or power/authority. Weak character person will benefit more from having elements that make you strong. So often careers belonging to water/metal elements are generally suitable for you. For weak person, it is not that you cannot benefit from career with wealth but you need to strengthen your weak water before you can benefit from it. So often, most will find that having careers that are metal/water will be better than having a career that is of your wealth element. As for your conclusion, to be frank, I have no idea what or how you have analysed the chart. But anyway, our analysis has always been as what I have provided above. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: If I was born in Melbourne, Australia at 10am (in December), do I need to change the time to Singapore/China time when I am calculating my BaZhi? Anonymous wrote: There is also daylight saving in Melbourne to take into account. December is summer here which is 3 hours behind Singapore. In that case must I convert 10am to 7am when I am calculating the four pillars? It is best you use your default local time. Do not make any conversions using the GMT standard. The reaons why this is so, is because:- 1. GMT timezones are very much simplified now-a-days, so frankly using GMT to subtract the timezone does not really give you the true location factor. It only influence one factor of the long. and lat. of birth. 2. Location Factor - In fact, if you really want to apply the location factor, one must logically use the actual long. and lat. of your birth place. However, even this is very flawed or will result in less accurate analysis if the information is 1 degree off. I mean realistically, how many people actually record the exact long. and lat. of when you are born? Even if you know the hospital that you are born, that does not really tell you the exact location within the hospital room that you are born. So the accuracy of such information will directly impact whether your ba zi analysis will be accurate or not. 1 degree off either the long. or lat. will give you an entirely different analysis. 3. The Ba Zi was designed in such a way that even if you do not have the hour of birth, the analysis can still be fairly accurate. This is because the luck forecast is determined by the Month pillar and Year pillar. So the hour really have little impact on that except to be able to better determine if you are a weak or strong character, and the exact balance of element percentage for you to fine tune your luck. So because of these key reasons, we do not encourage anyone to apply any GMT timezone differences, but just use the local timezone for generating reports on our website. Hope that helps.

I have brought my bedroom set which is oak in colour and also the tile of my toilets comes with oak brown colour. Does that mean I have to re select the colours for all the furnitures and change the theme of my house? Is there any way I can still keep the the theme colour? Green/Brown=Wood, Red=Fire. Are you are a Strong Fire element? If so, then yes these colours make may your element too strong. However, you can also attempt to balance it by introducing a 3rd element. ie Earth (Yellow). Wood-

My intention was to renovate the new place asap so that I will be able to move in once I am back to Singapore. Unfortunately I will only be back end of August thus it is also 7th month. What can I do and can I just choose any date to move in?Of course, if you canit is better to move-inafter the 7th month. There are two Chinese 7th month this year due to the intercalary month. True Chinese 7th month: 25 Jul - 23 Aug False Chinese 7th month: 24 Aug - 21 Sep Try to avoid moving in during the 1st Chinese 7th month if possible. Since you mentioned you are coming in at the end of Aug, this would mean you can still choose dates on the second 7th month. This will at least be better. For renovation, best to start it before the 7th month starts. Renovation if already started before 7th month is ok to allow it to continue in during the 7th month. Make sure that you select an auspicious date for move-in.

I read in the forum that since mine is a second hand place is advisable to sprinkle the salt in the house and toilets. Should I be doing this b4 the renovation starts? Please advise and thank you. That is usually to help cleanse the place. So you should do it before the renovation starts. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear See, Anonymous wrote: Recently, I have move into my new home and realised my neighbour oppositemy house has a pa kua mirror hanging above his main doorfacing my main entrance door. When ever I open the door i would always see the Pakua. Is this good for my family? My Main door is facing North East. Anything I could do to soften this impact. Unfortunately, a pa kua facing your house is inauspicious for you as it will create a sha qi to your home. 1. If possible, maybe have a talk with your neighbour to see if he can remove it and use other means to protect the home. ie. a round circular mirror to reflect any sha qi rather than pakua. At least a round mirror reflects the sha qi but does not create any further sha qi. A pakua will do both relect and create sha qi out. Or if there build a barrier of plants to block against any external threats. 2. Else, if not then the only way to block the pakua is to use a pakua to reflect it back. But probably nothing much you can do if your neighbour persist to use a pakua. But this will create a pakua war which doesn't create a condusive / harmonious environment for both parties involved. The best if you can find a peacefulway avoid having a pakua war. Which does not benefit either owner in the long run. Hope that helps.
