Hi Anon, Thank you for your interest in our services. I have e-mailed you private on this. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi Anon, With regards to whether your first posting was ok, you can always use the Posted by Me link to check whether you have post it. All new postings will not appear for everyone to see until we have approved it. I would like to remind all users to avoid posting duplicate.Generally, it takes time for us to get to each and very postings. Duplicate post does not make reply faster. Unfortunately, I must say that when ba zi was originally used, there isn't any geographical position applied to it. In fact, it is modern practitioners who push for such an application. But I can tell you that there is actually no need for this. Why? 1. Ba Zi is able to give you a fair prediction even if your time of birth is left unknown. This is why if you read some pillars of destiny books written by some masters. You will find that they always like to use popular people as a reference about how accurate they are in their prediction or that they can see something in the chart that makes an event happen. Often, you find that they do not use the hour of birth and yet they can tell you this and that about what they see in the chart vs what has happened. 2. The application of such geographical difference into the ba zi can make a ba zi reading even more inaccurate. Why I say so? Simple. As it is, may people don't even know what hour they are born. Don't you think it will be same that they will also not be able to give youthe exact long. and lat. of birth location? In applying the long. and lat. of birth to ba zi, even 1 degree off will mean a completely different chart as compared to a ba zi chart done without any location factor. Furthermore, this is again a modern invention not what was used in the past. 3. Even if you apply the ba zi with time zone difference, this is also bad. This is because:- 3a. Time zone are simplified now-a-days to an hour difference for example GMT +0800, GMT -0500. In the past, the time difference can be a few minutes or half an hour etc. Now it is all 1 hour difference to simply the time zone. 3b. Time zone changes only influence either the long.or lat. direction. As such the only true way to apply such a difference is to calculate the moon position to your location rather than just add or minus the mins. 4. The hour of birth will only impact how accurate you can determine whether a person is weak or strong. But it does not impact how the luck period will look generally, because the luck period is deduced from the month pillar. 5. The ba zi analysis only gives you heavenly given luck. Meaning what you see on your ba zi may not be exactly what you have gone through. Why? Because there are many factors not being considered in the analysis such as the house luck (earth luck) which will have adverse influence over your given luck. This iswhy sometimes when what is analysed in the given luck does not fall exactly to what you experience. This is because another factor is adversely causing this deviation. 6. As such a ba zi will NOT give you 100% accurate analysis of what you actually experienced. It is only supposed to give you a chart of what luck you are SUPPOSED to have. It is often a great mistake for many practitioners to say that the ba zi gives you a very accurate prediction of your past and future events. But how can it when it's main goal is to deduce your heavenly given luck. As such, if any users do any analysis with ba zi on our website, our advise is to just use your local time without any modification of your time zone. In fact, if in doubt, it is often better not to put in an hour of birth. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Karen, Firstly, you should understand that fortune teller users several tools for to guess a persons fortune. Such tools are ba zi, palm reading, face reading, horoscope, i-ching etc. A good fortune teller with lots of experience, also uses their experience to be able to guess how is the person's character by observing that person's behaviour. That is why when you want your fortune told you must see the person face to face. Most of the predictions comes from the master's own experience and judgement. So ba zi is just one of the tools that a fortune teller will attempt to make use. And ba zi has two aspect understanding a person's given luck for use in Feng Shui as well as some fortune telling portions. In our website, we do not do any fortune telling, this includes adding any of such fortune telling aspects into our analysis. This is because, fortune telling can be dangerous and often it is because the person receiving the advise believes so much in the fortune teller, that the person makes it happen. ie if a fortune teller tells you that you are a jinx, and because of that you are so worried about it, that you will make it happen. As such all fortune telling aspects are just fortune telling. The only good thing about ba zi is it helps to depict a person's heavenly given luck. This is what we call the Heavenly Luck. A person's fortune and fate is often said as pre-destined. As such, the ba zi is supposed to be able to help one understand what kind of luck you might have. But such luck may or may not happen depending on how is your environment (Earth Luck). So the only good thing about the ba zi is the ability to understand what kind of luck you are given, what elements you belong to, how you may attempt to maximise the luck etc. Once you know that, you can then attempt to make your Earth Luck more suitable for your given luck so as to get the best amount of luck for yourself. So the main limitation is that ba zi only tells you what luck you are supposed to have. It may or may not be exactly the same all depends on your surrounding factors. Hope that helps.

Dear Hoa, 2. Toilet is also the one major water leak in the home. Thus, it is why when a toilet for example is located in the center of the house, it considered a major wealth leak. So because a toilet location is deemed as least beneficial, it is often good when bad stars fall in a toilet location. It will help to dispell such bad influence. Just like other less important uses for rooms such as storeroom etc. Since you don't use it that much, if bad stars falls in such rooms, it will not harm the people there as no one lives there. As such, if you image if there the sector is good but it is located at the toilet influence, how much wealth can you expect to get? Furthermore, even if the wealth isn't leaked out, it will be made dirty. So does a water star in the toilet represents an open space. No, so it cannot be activated. I mean, it is much more effective if you focus on enhancing areas which will be beneficial to people who stay in the sector. ie your bedroom, living room, study room, kitchen etc. Hope that helps.

Dear Ian, Usually, for relationship, you try to harmonise two persons by the element rather than animal signs. Animal Signs of conflict can be hard to bring them in harmony. But because each animal sign has a different element like a Metal Monkey vs Wood Tiger or can be a Fire Monkey vs Water Tiger. Thus, the elements of the animal sign can be harmonised. You will need to find the binding element of the two. Metal Monkey vs Wood Tiger, can make use of Water as intermediate binding element to help smoothing relationship. As it will create Metal -

Dear Anon, The easiest way to see if any elements is not favourable for you is to list out what each element favours and not favour:- 1. yourself: StrongMetal Favour: Water, Wood, Fire Not Favour: Metal, Earth Generally, your husband makes you too strong, as such you need to have Water (your son) to help exhaust your excess Metal. While your son weak Water will be your wealth. 2. your husband: Strong Earth Favour: Metal, Water, Wood Not Favour: Earth, Fire Generally, you (as a wife - Strong Metal) and your daughter (weak Wood), helps your husband reduce the excess Earth. While your son weak Waer becomes your husband's wealth. 3. your daughter: weak Wood Favour: Water, Wood Not Favour: Metal, Fire, Earth Generally, your daughter can draw strength from your son (weak ater). 4. your son: weak Water Favour: Metal, Water Not Favour: Earth, Wood, Fire Generally, your son, will draw strength from you (monther - Strong Metal). Once you know the five element, you can more or less deduce these relationship and find out how one family member helps another. When trying to reduce conflict. You should look between only two persons. Otherwise, it is very difficult to apply any solution because more than two the solutions requires a combination of element. For example, between you (Strong Metal) and your husband (Strong Earth). Then, binding element is Water and Wood. So your children happens to be your binding elements. Otherwise, you can make use of room decor which is Blue/Black/Gray (Water) and Green/Brown (Wood). Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, You should follow these priorty:- 1. Based on the birth element, ie a weak Wood person for example would generally mean that having more water and wood will help you improve her overall luck. 2. Use the Balance of the Five Element chart to help balance her elements so as create a perfect harmony. Say she has 10% Water and 20% Wood. It would mean that she would find water being the most favourable element, as the ideal percentage is 20% of all five elements. 3. Then once you balance up the element that make her better, you look at like the elements which have 0%. Only after you enhanced the favourable elements, then you can look at what elements you entirely lack to try to have a little bit of them. Not too much as it will also make your favourable element less. But a little bit will not harm. In fact a little bit will make it more balance for your daughter because the ultimate perfect balance is to attain 20% of each five element. But this is really very difficult, because it is tough to be able to tell how much element you have at any particular time. Thus, it is safe to always enhance what elements that make you weak. Followed by adding a little element that you have too little off. 4. Once you understand that, then just relate the elements to the various colours (bedroom/clothings etc), career, shapes etc. 5. Remember, that ultimately the perfect 20% of all five element is the goal. As such that is why no matter what, even the unfavourable elements, you should still have a little, just not too much. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Dragana Vilinac, Year 1957 (ding-you) is made up to Heaven Stem - Fire, Earthly Branch Metal Rooster. Year By default, if you take the Rooster without the Heavenly Stem it is yin Metal Rooster. However, when you are looking at a year, you should be using the Heavenly Stem element which is yin Ding (Fire). As such the year 1957 is a Fire Rooster year. There are 5 different kinds of rooster depending on the year. ie a Metal Rooster / Water Rooster / Wood Rooster / Fire Rooster / Earth Rooster. As for the birth element, you take the Heavenly Stem of the Day pillar as the element for your birth element. Just like there can be10 different element weak/strong Metal, weak/strong Water, weak/strong Wood, weak/strong Fire or weak/strong Earth person born in a Fire Rooster year. So you are a strong Metal person born in the Fire Rooster year. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anthony, 1. The fact that we have been using an online analysis, is already a clear indication that a mathematical way to determine the weak and strong throughmathematical calculation. There is no publication of such a mathematical formula from what I know so far. You can always use our online report to assess any person to see if they should be considered weak or strong. http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm 2. There are two ways to go about that once you determined whether you are weak or strong:- a. By default as a weak metal for example, it would naturally mean that you either lack earth or metal, while you have too much of fire and wood. As such, the easiest way to make you strong is by assuming that you need more earth and metal to make your weak metal stronger. b. The other way is by the Five Element Balance chart where you breakdown how much of each element you have and then further fine tune the the elements by attempting to create a perfect balance of 20% for each element. This is ultimate perfection, but of course because it is the ultimate perfection, it is also the hardest to achieve. As it is frankly, not possible to be able to calculate at any time how much influence you have and how much you luck. As such as long as you follow point a you should be safe enough. point b is for the fine tuning. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET- Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Mark, This is one of the many "Concept Names" given to a situation in flying star concept where the problem star is also a wealth feature for that sector. For example, as everyone knows Star 5 for example is a Strong Earth star. On its own it is an inaupicious star. But when there is like a Star 8 (Earth Auspicious Star) and Star6 (Metal Auspicious Star) and that when star 5 occurs in such a sector especially as an annual star, this star 5 because it is Earth makes Star 8 stronger. Thus, is something like giving more wealth to the sector. This is further enhanced if a Five Element Combination Flow can be achieved either by:- Fire - This is why on our website from day one, we simply employ only the five element as the primary concept in analysing the flying star as well as the suggestion of cures. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, The most important thing is for the 6 rods to be all Metal, especially brass. The rest of the support is fine to be non Metal. The point is because 6 rods is Strong Metal. So it is most effective when the rod are metal. If you use like 5 rods it is Earth element. And if you use like 3/4 rods is Wood element etc. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, Flying Star imbalances must be corrected regardless of what element you may be. After you work in the cure for the sector, then you can work on creating the necessary influence for you and your husband. For a Strong Earth and Strong Metal person, you will need to have Water (blue/black/gray) and Wood (green/brown) elements to keep the Strong Earth and Strong Metal in check. Once a cure is placed, just focus on other decoration in the room to ensure that they are favourable to both of you. Hope that helps.

Dear Kay, Often there are many ways at looking whether a number is auspicious or not. ie. For most 4 - Cantonese sound is Die so most people avoid it. But if you look at the Iris - 4 leave clover is a lucky symbol. ie. Alterntaively, you can also add up the numbers to be a single number to see if it matches your gua/kua number ie 6779 = 6 + 7 + 7 + 9 = 29 = 2 + 9 = 11 = 1 + 1 = 2. So there can be 101 different ways at looking at a number. What is good for one may not be good for another. However, what you should also remember is that ultimately, what makes a house/plot of landgood or not is ultimately, the feng shui of your environment as well as the house that you plan to build. This will have a greater impact as opposed to just the house number. Often the house number is only looked at when there are say two identical units and you want to see which of the two units is better off. The only thing you can do now is not to worry too much about the house number. But rather to ensure that there are no other major leaks in the house feng shui. So by fixing up all existing leaks and enhancing individual's luck by following what elements they favour. You can then reduce any major impact that you might have. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Usually, in such situation we go for Five Element Flow or Harmony. ie. Earth - Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Pei Yi, Generally, in a big luck analysis, it is only a general summary of whether a person's luck is with or not with him. Of course, it is ideal that luck is with you during the different 10-years in your life. For some very luck people, luck is always on his side, meaning that for a large bulk of ten-year period, big luck is always travelling in the same direction that favour your birth element. But for some, luck isn't on his/her side. This means that a person will have to work even harder to succeed. This is why we say ba zi, can only tell you what kind of given luck a person have at birth. However, luck is always changing. Even if 10-year luck isn't that good, there will always be some 5-year/year/6-month/month/day which will be good within that year. That is why there will always be ups and downs for everyone. Some year have better luck some bad luck etc. Even the environment will always be changing so luck may or may not follow the given luck. Regardless, of what kind of luck you have at different time. It is always good to always have as much favourable elements in your career, life, house so that it helps to offset and improve a luck for the individual. As long as everyone knows what favours and unfvourables them, then you can know how best you can improve your overall luck to reduce any major impacts. Hope that helps.

Dear Anthony, Each person ba zi is unique. When what stars occurs will have different influence an impact. So not possible to just explain what each influence will be as each stars also have to depends in the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branches of each pillar. Generally, for such stars, the most useful of which are the Nobleman, Arts, Academicstars which are what most people will look for to tell you if a person is very fortunate or not. This is because, the presence of such stars especially nobleman will mean that this person is extremely fortunate as no matter what happens always people will be around to help him/her when in need. Some of the other stars such as death is usually focused more towards fortune telling, which is one area which we will never go into as it will only create a situation of panic. While other stars such as movement stars (career etc), are more useful when it is found in the luck pillars. A lot of questions posted by you relates more to detailed ba zi fortune telling learning or information which does not benefit the rest of the users. If you are so interested in Ba Zi as especially predictions/fortunes, pleaseget a professional fortune teller to advise you on your individual fortune. We do not do fortune telling as such our ba zi excludes any area related to these as it only induces what we call self-fullfilling prophecy. We only focus on analysing the heavenly given luck so as to allow corrections to be made on your earth luck for feng shui purposes.

Dear PG Tan, Please note that flying star though only uses numbers, has lots of theories and concepts. As such for one to truely know how to read the information, you will need to really take an indepth course on the flying star itself to fully understand how the interactions of each numbers will mean in different sectors. There isn't going to be any easy way to explain it. This is why on our website, we already provided the free flying star analysis whereby the key stars to take note are already colour coded so that you can tell whether a star is good or bad. For detailed, analysis, we have the paid version of the flying star which does all the analysis for you. In any case, most of the time you look at the 20-year and at most the yearly star. Monthly star is only needed to know which month is better or worst within the entire year. No one in the right mind will want to be applying cures every month. This is absolutely crazy. So cures if any should be focused on the 20-year period which influence the house luck for that sector and at most fine tuning the analysis to the yearly stars. Usually if a house chooses good colour scheme and positions the furniture arrangement correctly, chooses the right funiture material / colour scheme. These will all help to balance up the sectors. Remember that flying star is only one concept. One must not just eat and sleep on flying star, and ignore other concepts like the shapes and form arrangement, eight house directions, ba zi elements/colours etc. Furthermore, even how much you enhance or focus on one sector of the flying star, it can only bring about that amount of luck improvement. The biggest portion of wealth come from the surrounding environment. If your surrounding is bad, no matter how much you beautify your internal 4 walls, the maximium amount of luck will not exceed what your house is able to accumulate from the surrounding. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Dear Chee Kheong, Yes, when you have a wealth luck during the major luck period, it means that you have a greater or higher chance for wealth opportunities. How well you can take advantage of it will depend on yourself especially how strong your element is to be able to control or maximise the opportunities. In such periods it is the better periods for making investments. It is even better, if the current 5-year, yearly, 6-monthly luck are further in your favour. As for lottery, this is hard to say because when it comes to lottery, you are actually gambling against million of other people. Whoever's luck is highest will tend to have a higher opportunity of winning. So when it comes to lottery, it is anyone's guess as to who will win and how much you can win. Hope that helps.

Dear Hoa Luong, Actually, that analysis shouldn't be showing as it isn't ready yet. I may have forgotten to disable it in the report template. As such, it kept showing that analysis header for all the sectors in the report. It was supposed to be released in future version. Basically, it is when the water star is trapped at the center sector where it cannot be activated in any of the 8 directions. Imagine this, a water star is useful when there is open space at any of the eght directions, but when it is found in the center sector, it means you cannot activate it to enable the auspicious influence. Hence, known as beingtrapped. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Hoa Luong, Star 4 is a Lawsuit star by default. However, in period 8, it isn't as bad as it should be thus, it is considered an average star. So when star 4 and 1 appear together it is still considered auspicious. Just like Star 7 which is a Robbery star by default. Under period 7, star 7 is an auspicious star due to the 7 period effect, causing 7 star for mountain or water star to be the current water/mountain star. However, star 4 itself is still a lawsuit star which still needs to be further balanced by Metal, given star 4 is weak star by default. So under 4 and 1 combination, having some Metal influence will create Metal - Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Mr. Foo, You see each section of the Luck flow is analysed individually. Meaning, that the 10-year luck is analysed only on 10-yearly luck. It does not use the 5-yearly luck to determine whether it is Auspicious or Inauspicious. So the same thing here is the yearly luck is analysed on it's own to give you a grading whether the year is Auspicious / Average / Inauspicious for example. A year can be Average, but have Very auspicious 6-monthly luck which only means to say that that year though is average is of a much better year compared to another year that is Average, but have Inauspicious 6-nthly luck. However, it isn't as good as a year that is Very Auspicious, and also have 6-monthly luck that is Very Auspicious. The way you use that portion of the report is to help you determine whether how good a period is. For example, if the 10-yearly luck is auspicious, 5-yearly luck is auspicious, and year luck is also auspicious, it means you are in the very auspicious year since both the 10-year luck and 5-year luck are also at it's best. As such, each section is analysed with it's own grading, rather than a compounded analysis results which may not give you the best way to judge a particular period or year. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Anyway, to make it easy, Cecil has already classify some careers into the five element relationship:- Water Career Advertising, Arts, Brewing, Communications, Computers, Drinks, Healing, Laundry, Literature, Manufacturing, Media, Music, Therapy It is not exhaustive, but it should serve as a guide. Just wearing colour isn't good enough. You will need to have more than that to make a weak wood stronger. You need to have as many areas in your life with more water element (ie colours, career, house etc). Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research
