Dear Sze Nee, The problem with suitability issues from analysis such as Eight House is there is no way to correct the problem unless you decide to change to a more suitable direction. Usually, if you are just an employee, there is very little freedom for you to say choose or correct a direction or even avoid using that direction. So the only thing you can possibly do is to try to improve your luck by ensuring that your ba zi elements are improved. ie if you are a weak wood, then say wearing more Water (blue/black/gray) or Wood (green/brown) will help you improve your luck. This can then help to offset the issues about the unsuitability. So basically, what you can do is to try to correct other areas that you are able to fix (ie your home, your personal colours etc). Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Users, Firstly, we would like to apologise if some posts have never been verified for replying. This is due to several factors:- 1. The older forum interface didn't have very good admin module that allowed us to access older post easily. As such, if a post is too deep in the list, it may not be seen by us to approve it. 2. Sometimes duplicate postings were made, as such in the old forum interface, there wasn't an easy way to delete them as such we usually leave them unverified. 3. In the old forum interface, most messages which are posted as a 3rd or 4th reply, sometimes does not get noticed due to the way the forum sorts the system by main topics date rather than last reply date. 4. The old forum interface was getting too slow due to more and more users participating and posting messages. As such, it was getting very difficult to quickly clear the new postings. So there were messages which neverseen by us as such left unreplied. Anyway, since our new Forum Interface has been added, many of these flaws were corrected. Users should noticed that in the past couple of days, I have been doing a massive clean up, approval of unverified messages, as well as replying to as many messages as possible. As of today, most messages that were still outstanding until about Nov 2004, has been approved and attended to. Older messages still in the unverified queue has been deleted. This is to ensure that future postings will not be cluttered by the older posts.So users who still wants our reply, please re-post them again. In addition, I will personally be dedicating more time to maintaining the forum together with Cecil. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Resesarch

Dear Shadeeda, Unfortunately, it is not possible to fix a suitability issue. You either suit the house or not. How else can you correct the problem except to change the direction of the home (ie move to a another house which is more suitable). Same for bedroom, bed position, if a sector of the house or bed position isn't suitable, then try to change to a different bedroom or sleep in a different bed position. This is not something which you can just correct unlike other concepts like an unbalanced flying star sector which you can attempt to balance the sector. Failing an analysis in one theory does not mean that your entire feng shui is bad. Just like an exam, if you fail to answer 1 question, but answered 3 correctly, you will still pass your exam. So point here is to attempt to fix up other problems that is correctable so as to attempt to compensate for this issue which you can correct. Unfortunately, that is about all you can do, especially on such suitability issue. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, This is one way of analysing a relationship ie:- weak wood vs strong water is compatible based on five element relationship. Another more detailed way is also to include the Horoscope or Earthly Branch ie:- a weak wood rat vs strong water dragon - Most compatible a weak wood rat vs strong water ram - Less compatible because Rat and Ram not very compatible. The full element and horoscope signs makes an analysis more detailed thus more able to give you additional level of compatibility analysis. ie. working in a construction industry is Earth element, but if your job scope is the Sales and Marketing within the Construction industry, then your job scope is Fire element. Often, it is ideal that your job industry is favourable as well as job scope. But these are all just guides. Ultimately, how well you do also depends entirely on your interest as well as the necessary skills you might have that may make you successful in that field. ie a Sales person is likely to be successful if you have very good pursuation skills. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Analia, Yes, that is absolutely correct Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Benji, This has been question that has been posted time and time again. 1. When you take the entrance of the office from the main building entrance, you are actually taking performing a feng shui audit for the entire building itself. 2. When you take entrance of the individual office entrance, then you are actually performing an analysis of the individual office unit within the building itself. So when analysing an Office / Shop, you should take the reading from the office entrance or shop entrance. Remember, that Flying Star can be applied on a Macro or Micro level. So the frontage you choose will determine the scope of the analysis. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Chee Kiong, I won't know what theories or concepts other geomancer may have used as such not able to common on their analysis. Some geomancers uses Chinese Astrology, some use I-Ching, some use Ba Zi etc. Even those who use Ba Zi, a simple ba zi analysis can take your Year of Birth element, the more detailed one can take Day of Birth. Also how detail you analyse will also make an impact to what recommendations they will make. As such, so far from my experience, you can go to different geomancers, and there will different analysis results that may come out all depends on how information has been analysed. The only thing I can tell you here is that at Geomancy.net, we have worked out a series of tools that when used properly, will give you the best possible analysis results. In addition, all the analysis are done with as much details as possible. This will allow you to get the best possible analysis so that you can focus NOT on how to calculate the analysis. But rather to focus on analysis and trying to fix the leaks rather than working on the analysis. Though, I am sure this will not make it as easy for users, as seeking advise from two different masters will only lead to total confusion. So you have to make a choice to follow an advice completely from the source which you feel most comfortable with. Generally, any analysis done, as long as done with the correct tools will really not go very wrong as each Feng Shui theory available actually complements each other. Hope that helps.

Dear Terri, In terms of selling a house, there is very little you can do using Feng Shui except to make the house look nice and clean and make a list of what are the benefits (ie near MRT etc). The only thing you can use Feng Shui if there are any good benefits based on feng shui to add value. Otherwise, nothing much you can really do. The other area which you can attempt to improve the luck is individually. ie based on your ba zi, ie a strong water person, so for example. You can try to wear more favourable colours ie Wood (green/brown). Improving your own personal luck may help a little. But ultimately still depends on your house location and factors. More than Feng Shui. As for improving your business, use the free ba zi report to determine some what element of career will bring you most amount of luck. But still for business, it is important that your business must be sound. Otherwise, no amount of feng shui can help. Hope that helps.

Dear Penny, Actually, the best way of assessing ba zi, is to use weak or strong element. Followed byfurther fine tuning using the Balance of the Five Element. You see no matter how extreme a chart is, it will in generally follow the same principles that as a Strong water person is strong because it is likely to have lots of Metal and Water, while lacking in Earth, Wood and Fire for example. While a weak water person has too much of the elements destroying or making it weak than elements helping to make it strong. So even how extreme a case this will ultimately be the results. This is where the fine tuning method which we use at Geomancy.Net using the Balance of the Five element by breaking down the elements in to percentage method, so that you can know at a glance which element has too much and too little. For example a Strong Water person can be extremely strong because it has too much more Metal (30%), than water 5%), or it can also be she has too much Water (30%), than Metal (5), or even that she has too much of both ie Water (30%) and Metal (30%). So this is where the balance of element helps you know exactly which element you need more or less. This goes the same even for the unfavourable elements. Say Earth and Wood are unfavourable element. But if the overall Wood is 0%, while Earth is 50%, that means a little wood is still acceptable, while earth should be avoided completely. The ultimate goal is to achiev 20% of all Five elements. This is virtually impossible to attain and or even calculate at any given time. So the percentage can only help you give you an ideal what elements you might need more or less. But ultimately, if you follow the general five element concept, elements that generally favour you will always help you regardless of which element has more or less. To get best results, you should use the Balance of the Five element. Thus, in our website, the extreme cases does not really make much of an issue. This has always been handled by the Balance of the Five element, which attempts to help you try to bring all your elements to a nice balance. As such, there really isn't a need to worry too much about the extreme cases, they are handled similiarly at our website. Hope that helps.

Dear Maria, Unfortunately, not everyone are cut out to do business. There are people with very good business acumen others are simply not cut out to do business at all. Business success or failure depends on the business model and the demand and supply of the business. If you choose a wrong business to enter, even the best business person may not be able to make it work. Furthermore, in today's society, it isn't easy to start a business that will be successful. This is because if you create a business that is so successful, competition will follow and you will have less and less to make. So I won't feel too disappointed. That's life. However, if you work hard for it, you will be able to find success. I can only advise you here that you are a weak Earth person, as such:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm Fire and Earth elements are best for you:- - Fire element career such as Marketing, Sales, Fashion, etc. - Earth elementcareer such as Customer Relations, Construction, Games, etc Hope that helps.

Dear David, Earth is usually represented by Yellow or any shades of Yellow. Darker shades of Brown is often considered wood. Lighter shades of Brown more towards Yellow is Earth. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee - GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Robert, Generally, wealth (whether Direct Wealth or Indirect Wealth) are good regardless of whether there are more direct or more indirect wealth. Everyone would like to have as many of these as possible. A person with extremely good wealth luck means that they have more than 7 or more at any one time. Most average person have between 2-4. Some even have 0. All it does show if any are how much wealth opportunities a person might be given or have in their life. One must remember, that wealth does not necessary mean pure physical money. True wealth in the old traditional chinese is children. In fact, children are a person's greatest wealth. I mean if a person has 5 children compared to another that has 1. So wealth need not just be in form of money. In today's society, when anyone talk about wealth, they always refer to money. But this isn't necessary the true meaning of it. Direct Wealth is usually associated with money you earn as well as children.UnexpectedWealth is often associated to gambling, but it can also be in forms of bonus, addition money from inheritance, gifts and etc. So having lots more Unexpected Wealth does not necessary mean thatthe only way you can earn is throughgambling. This is a common misconception For gambling, your luck is compared another person luck, so meaning that ifpeople who buy 4D for example. If your luck is 7 but another is 8, your luck will lose out that one that is higher. But whatever Direct or Unexpected wealth, these are types of deities you like to have more rather than less. The more you have, means things will likely be better for you as you are given more opportunities. But ultimately, it is through your own hardwork that will determine how much you can eventually earn for yourself. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, 1. Unfortunately, Eight House analysis helps define suitability issues. It is very difficult to correct a suitability issue. I mean if a house facing does not fit you, the only way you can correct it is to move out to another house which fits you or make correcting to the location of the door. So in such situations, you do not really have much choice of correcting this one flaw. That is why it is important that when you first obtain the house, these issues should be checked first. Issues like flying star problems can be corrected, but not suitability of the house to you. 2. However, you do not need to worryso much as Spook or Irritation are not as bad as Death and Disaster. Meaning that as long as you have a bedroom located in a more suitable sector of the house, this will help offset the inauspicious suitability of the main door or frontage of the house. 3. Furthermore, Eight House is only one form of analysis. Just like in a school exam, failing one question does not mean you fail the entire exam. As long as you still do well in other areas such as Ba Zi suitability ie (Strong Metal, but staying in a North-Water house), or having good external shapes and form etc. Then this issue will not be overall too big an issue to worry about. So the advice here would be to attempt to fix up all the leaks present in your home to help offset this issue. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, Generally, posting in a forum, means everyone can read your posts. However, as long as you post Anonymously, no one will know exactly who you are. So it is generally safe to still provide some details about yourself (leaving out your name, or any sensitive information). But remember, that these forums are for exchanging learning, so normally we seldom dofull analysisdetailed analysis. Usually we only provide advice base done on information provide so as to guide users. If there are truly information you do not wish to share, then it is better to seek one-to-one consultations. All personalised paid consultations are 100% confidential and usually encouraged to correspond via e-mail/fax/phone. Where any exchange of information are not shared with others. Hope that helps.

Dear Michael, Yes, Eight House can be applied in the in bedroom where you sleep. This is where the Sleep Position or Bed position report in our Members Area come in. http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/perlist-sleep-position.htm ie. Sleeping with Head North and Foot facing South, if your North isLongevity direction for example. However, you should always remember, that the general shapes and form placement of the bed holds a greater priority over Sleep position. So only apply this when there are other bedroom alternative that comply with the shapes and form concepts. Hope that helps.

Dear Anonymous, 1. In the ba zi, the birth element percentage is calculated during when you are born. So that gives you the percentage which you have at the time of birth assuming other factors such as the current year are not considered. 2. The percentage at each 10-year luck pillars is further calculated to attempt to give you an understanding how that particular 10-year element might influence your overall ba zi luck at that present time. 3. This is to give you a better understanding how your overall elements are at any present time. This will allow you to further fine tune your five element during that period so as to get the best overallresults. 4. Any percentage depends on the total elements that are considered. It is very difficult to tell you how each any additional elements might give you at any time. But it is safe to say that a person's luck is greatly influenced by the house (so this has a higher weightage), followed by Career, followed by other surroundings and colours. Hope that helps.

Dear Users, NOTE: Usually during the end and start of the new year, we are extremely busy as such there will be some delayed attending to the posts. In fact, you will noticed that we are reviewing the unverified which we may have missed. Doing a one time clean up to delete duplicate post as well as approving posts which we might have missed. Additional Updates to the original Post (5 Jan 2005) Fixed the Watch / Stop Watch Topics Message posted Last 60 days now only shows the new messages by grouping them as a single topic. (Rather than displaying each individual sub-message). The new read module display all the topics when read, so you need not read the individual postings anymore. Topic Header showing some of the emoticon tag codes (ie (notes), (angree) not removed properly. Original Post The new PHP Webboard Forum Interface v1.0 is converted from our Perl Forum Interface to greatly enhance the usability and access performance. Though the previous Perl Forum Inferface was working fine. It was performing sluggishly especially with the increasing number of visitors to the website accessing the forum. As such I had spent the past few days converting the Perl Interface to the PHP Webboard Forum. Features PHP Webboard Forum Interface v1.0 1. Faster Forum Pages (for Forum List, Topic List) 2. A new Read Post module was added so that once you view a topic, it displays all topics sorted from Last Post to Oldest Post. This PHP version also generates much faster than the original one. 3. File Attachment count also added back to the Topic List so that messages with file attachment is more easily noticed. 4. Many SQL coding refinments were added which improves the SQL access time. 5. User Login have also been greatly improved. This allowed for more closer integration between the Members Area and Public Pages. You should noticed that once you login, the system remembers you the next time you access the forum pages (without further need to login again). Our existing forum software has very extensive features and database, thus it is essential that we keep those features and databasein place by enhancing the core forum interface and still continue to retain the original features. Hope you enjoy the various updates. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Sophia, For birth element you should use Ba Zi element. 1. The Kua Element is never used as the Birth element, given it only considers the YEAR of birth. 2. The Ba Zi on the other hand tkes the full Day, Month, Year and even Hour of birth, so it is far more accurate to use the Ba Zi element. You should always try to use the day rather than year element (just as in our website's ba zi analysis). So Earth element as caculated by the Ba Zi report is your birth element. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Sophia, Generally, for doors, there is no harm to leave it in the natural wood (brown colour). This is considered a neutral colour or element for doors. For a weak Water person ideal colour is either Metal (white/gold)or Water (Blue/Black/Gray). So if you truly want to paint colour then you should choose between the above colours. Whether a house is good or bad, depends a lot on the suitability of the house to the breadwinner as well as the general feng shui of the home. Often most problems are due to major leaks in the external factors of the house itself. So finding and fixing the leaks are essential to improve your overall luck. Knowing what are the leaks will help you plan and avoid them in the future. For example, staying in a Death/Disaster house will mean that you will not be able to get the best amount of benefit from the luck, so in long run you will benefit more by moving to a more suitable house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Kel, Generally, for a Strong Metal person:- 1. Fire destory Metal. Since you are a strong Metal means you have too much Metal which is why you are Strong Metal. So Fire destroying Metal helps to keep the excess Metal in check. Thus, favourable for a Strong Metal. 2. Wood is wealth to Metal person. So this is again favourable to you. A 10-year luck period is influenced by many factors, ie big luck for the 10-year, 5-yearly, yearly, 6-monthly luck. It is also influenced by whether a 10-year luck period has clashes or harms. Generally, if your are born on 10 Jul 1964, then generally you are now following your wealth luck flow, so things should generally be ok for you, how good or bad as mentioned depends on the yearly luck influence. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Radha, Generally, if the renovations are major (ie replacing roofs / hacking of walls / adding roomsetc), then your house would have moved to 1990s (period 7). Usually for houses that are old, it can be sometime hard to say for sure unless you know what have been done. But most likely for most old houses some major renovations would have taken place, so it is very likely that it would have moved to period 7 (1984-2003). Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Chee Kiong, Generally, the best way to determine your true birth element is to use Ba Zi day of birth element. 1. There are two ways to determine a ba zi element, the most basic way is to take the year of birth element. So most will take the fact that your Chinese Year is 1959 (Earth Pig), so your element may be considered as Earth element. 2. However, the problem is that even in the entire year ot 1959, there is still different element that a person may be born in depending on the day of birth. So the more accurate way is to consider the day of birth. This is because one can be a Strong water , weak wood born in an Earth Pig year. So the day of birth is more accurate for this point. I believe the geomancer you consulted is probably using the day of birth based on the ba zi, while books are using the year element. Feel free to use our free ba zi report to determine your ba zi element:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm Hope that helps.
