This release is meant to be a short release just before version 8 is launched. - Flying Star report had undergone a HTML clean up to allow us to apply the various common style theme to the chart. - In addition, we have added a few additional analysis which automatically shows users like when the sector has the combination of ten and several other mathematical concepts etc. Though, in most cases the Five Element or shapes and form, but in order just to make it a little more complete we added these indicators into the analysis. - We also prepared the flying star for version 8 launch which focuses on ensuring that there is a way for us to be able to display period 7 and period 8 changes. This feature is in but we haven't yet prepared our templates so that users can run a comparison. - We also updated the various modules to ensure that all period 8 information are correctly updated so that once we cross over to the period 8, the system will have all analysis which reflect the period 8 influence. Thus, though many of the analysis is already prepared for it to be called version 8, but we have not yet launch it as we are still working on the link to get users to see if perdiod or period 8 is better. Once this is ready, we will launch the flying star as version 8. Meanwhile, many other flying star modules such as the Group Analysis etc all have the flying star common modules updated so as to support this changes. So look out for the version 8 launch where all paid users can gain access to check whether they should keep or change to period 8 as we enter into period 8 this year. Meanwhile, users can re-access the latest improvement for the flying star report from their account. Hope you enjoy the changes.

Yeah, forgot, Honeywell site also recommends the use of specific plants to help clean the air in the home:- http://content.honeywell.com/yourhome/eiac-air_cleaners/plants.htm Perhaps, for those who cannot (for now) afford the air cleaner can look at the recommended type of plants that can help to clean the house's air. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear All, Further to what I had mentioned, this is a link to the Honeywell air cleaner website. I personally believe that if one frequently falls sick or family members fall sick; a higher success rate is to look at the use of air cleaners, than purchasing bottle gourds etc... http://content.honeywell.com/yourhome/eiac-air_cleaners/air_cleaner.asp Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Frederick, (1) If I Yes, if you read through some of my past postings and illustrations on the use of the bottle gourd, this is considered an "authentic" Feng Shui cure. Here many Chinese Feng Shui practitioners recommend it to be placed between the toilet and the wall of the bedroom. Especially if one's bedhead is against this wall. Another use, by some FS practitioners is to use it in place of the six-coins or the six-coins in a salt water bottle. (#2 or #5) Here, it is symbolic of "sucking" the bad qi. There is no harm using it. Since, many authentic Feng Shui schools do recommend it. As for the crystal, it is frankly a modern invention. And no crystal appeared earlier than 1970's (in bulk). So, I leave it to you to imagine whether it can or cannot work. Although, some FS practitioners could say that like can be diffused by it. Therefore, between the bottle gourd ("Hulu") or the crystal, the bottle gourd seems to be the more popular "authentic" cure. Personally, the other next best alternative, which is not a Feng Shui cure but rather, "commonsense approach" is the use of hepta air-cleaners. Brand leader such as Honeywell, Amcor etc... With new Japanese comers like Sharp coming into the scene. I personally prefer this last "scientific" approach. I use three air cleaners in my home. And touch wood, and when I first used them, each time, I nearly fall sick, but recovered immediately. And for the last three years, I do not have to see a doctor. The last time I saw a doctor, was to check on the Feng Shui of a clinic. I know of many mothers who needlessly worry about their family. Nowadays, when I look at the palms of several clients, they seemed to "worry unnecessarily". Therefore, if this investment can help; I personally feel, that they have one less worry! In this senario, who cares about #2 or #5! Science can help! Warmest Regards, Cecil My master When using Flying Star Your advice is highly

Dear Peck Wun, Please see below:- It depends. Feng Shui is all about trying to squeeze as much luck as possible for a home. On some areas, this is highly impossible. But overall, it is about trying to squeeze as much luck of the home as possible. Let me illustrate:- Based on what I have experienced: ================================ Take for example: the Rivervale Crest condominium. This condo, TOP last year. And when I first discussed the layout plan with a few clients who had purchased it, one or two years prior to their taking the keys; they have a toilet at the centrepoint of their home. Nevertheless, fortunately, the condo unit they are staying is more of rectangular shaped design. I feel that proper analysis e.g. Flying Star vs Eight House vs Shapes and Forms can squeeze out or neutralise this issue. The only issue that one has to bear with is (in the past forum message - drawback of too much moisture coming into the rooms from the "stagnant" pool of water. Here humans must fit into the home; not the other way around. The other situation:- ==================== 1. Toilet at the centrepoint or near centrepoint plus the apartment is an odd shape. For example, the layout plan from top down looks much like a "triangle". 2. Here, the key failure is not so much of the toilet at the centrepoint (considered as ONE leak) but a systemic failure on the part of the entire shapes and forms. 3. The major systemic failure in this "triangle" shaped hope is it's triangle shape. 4. Like a pack of cards; this triangle shape is already inauspicious. Coupled by a leak (don't care whether it is close to, at the centrepoint) will bring down the total luck of the home. 5. Therefore, what I mentioned here is that in order for a failure to occur, there are often 2 or more leaks. Again it depends. For example if the bad sector is "really very very bad" e.g. #5 (misfortune) with #2 (sickness) and #4 or #3 (bad wood); then, it is better to wish for only one sector "facing" this problem. But if there are sectors where although there are bad #5 but because there are also #6 etc... then, the Flying Star chart neutralises this sector or makes it mild or weak. Therefore, there is no hard and fast rule about it. Thus from the Flying star point of view, lets hope for mild bad stars stradding both sectors. Of course, we hope that there are good stars that straddle both sectors. In conclusion, there is no single right or wrong answer to your question. In fact, another major consideration not mentioned is the Shapes and Forms of the room. For example, for newly married couples, it is always preferable that their bedroom is not odd shaped. And, in addition, try to avoid pointed corners in the form of a cabinet aimed at the bed. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lola, 1. Just take note that one Feng Shui School of Thought finds it highly unfavourable for the kitchen to be at NE. In addition, the stove is at NE. 2. This School of thought suggests that the kitchen, should not be at the North and NE sectors of a home. It has more the concept of cold winds blowing from the North. And, thus, this affects a stove situated at the North and NE. 3. However, I personally find this argument to be not exactly applicable to every geographical locations. 4. The idea behind Para 2 is because, it may be hard to cook IF - there high winds blowing into the kitchen from openings close to this. Here, if one is not affected by the winds, then this is not a major issue. 5. The idea is also equivalent of the "commonsense approach" to Feng Shui in that a stove should not be placed with it's back at a window area. 6. The next more critical point emphasised by nearly every FS practitioner is based on the Yin and Yang concept. Here, it is not ideal for the stove to be just next to the water position. 7. Another major consideration is that a stove must not sit below a beam or a water pipe. If water pipe is to be run below the stove, it must not pass the stove within 6 inches distance. Where possible, the pipe should run in a U shape design away from the stove. 8. Since both of you are of the same Gua (Kua) then, it is good for the stove to be facing your favourable direction. 9. Some Feng Shui practitioners recommend the stove (fire) face the East or SE (wood locations). And alternatively facing south as opposed to north. Since north is the water position. But, here, I find that this may not be practical in many instances. Since some of these positions are inauspicious e.g. the stove facing the back toilet bowl/wash basin etc... 10. Under my last point, it is important that the stove does not face the toilet entrance e.g. facing the toilet bowl, wash basin or shower of the back toilet. 11. As mentioned, there are many different interpretations of the position of the stove. 12. Some FS practitioners feel that it should be placed facing a bad direction to burn away bad qi. While others feel that it should be in a good location to enhance qi. 13. I have already listed, the major considerations regarding the stove. And the above statement above under Para 12 - can have different meanings to different people and practitioners. 14. What matters most is to look at the total kitchen in relation to Shapes and Forms - Feng Shui first, then look out for the above points of considerations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Users, For sometime, the Pillars of Destiny v10.01 beta was available for all Pillars of Destiny Premium users. However, it was had never been officially released to replace the v9.00 as it was not quite ready for a complete replacement. We had been busy enhancing the report in the past week, and the module is now ready to fully replace the v9.00. There were many additional more changes made to the v10.01 (both internally as well as visually), so we had decided to release it officially as v11.00 instead of v10.x. Key difference (v11.00 vs v9.00) ================================ - v11.00 is more modular, meaning that different parts of the analysis can be extracted as a separate analysis. Also, this makes the report less restrictive for expanding the report. And allow us to work on certain analysis focusing say on Career, or Health issues etc. - v11.00 integrates not just Ba Zi but also useful analysis from Eight House report. It also allows cross analysis between ba zi information, Eight House information as well as Chinese Horoscope. - Just as the Auspicious Dates revamp, we also revamp the v11.00 report so that it takes advantage of the CSS/Style formatting. For example, certain Explanation sections are box in a cyan colour box, which visually differentiate the normal analysis portion from the explanation. Making it easy to find the analysis results or explanation. - The new report is more visually enhanced so that you will be able to quickly find the section you are looking for as well as to be able to tell very quickly if an analysis is good for you or not. ie. Summary Analysis (using the Score system) was enhanced so that we have a summarised version. In addition, if the period is inauspicious for example, the box highlighting that period will be ie gray for average, blue for auspicious, red for inauspicious). Making it easier to see if the period is good or bad for you. - More explanation modules are expected to integrate very closely with the report so that you will better understand the report. ............................................................ Currently, the many new template revision for the v11.00 has been released to replace the v10.01 beta reports section. There are still several new reports which we had disabled them so that we can work privately on it before it is released. Those new analysis modules will be released together when we officially replace all the links to the v9.00 reports. So look out for it! More details to be released when we launch it officially. Hope you enjoy the various updates. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Users, We have been revising our various Auspicious Dates reports as follows:- 1. Monthly Auspicious Dates for Single & Two persons - Update the page formatting to use latest CSS styles. - Ensure the printed version will appear as good. - Added visual colour coded 4 star rating to make it easier to see auspicious and inauspicious dates. These star rating also makes it easier to see when the report is printed. - For Administrators, we added a button to generate next month report for this profile, as well as custom date generation. This feature may be later given to Premium Membership users when it is officially launched. 2. Yearly Auspicious Dates - Has all the enhancements as described above in the Monthly Auspicious - In addition, now the yearly report will also contain links to generate or view more detailed Monthly Auspicious Dates for each of the months analysed. - This links the Yearly report to the Monthly report detailed analysis to make it a more complete Yearly report. We are also revising and improving several other reports which we will announce once they are ready. Hope you enjoy the various updates.

Dear Wilson, The day of the Heavenly Stem is the stem which determines your ba zi element. It will not change under any combination. ie. if the Heavenly Stem is Wood, but a combination between Day and Month changes both element of the Day and Month to Fire, your birth element is still Wood. However, how weak or strong your Wood is will be affected by the various changes in the five element that are found in your chart. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Users, For those who have been visiting our website since yesterday, might noticed that there are some changes to the website navigation interface. We have brought back the fun in the website by assigning different website colour theme to each section of the website, this was a also to suit the expanding Navigation category. Since the site is pretty large, it will take a few more days to fully update each of the major section of the website with the various cool colour scheme. But as at now, most of the major section would have been uploaded to the website. This breakdown is to allow us to further group some of the related sections together in the various key sections to make it even easier for you to find all the various services and resources on our website. It is also geared to making the site fun to surf (just like in the past before we consolidated to a standard navigation, but has no time to refine the individual colour section scheme.) We are also gearing to introduce various content improvement each section. Hope you enjoy the update! Warmest Regards Robert Lee Geomancy.Net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Will Computerised Ba Zi produce less accurate result than Manual Ba Zi analysis? That depends on several factors:- 1. Who programmed Geomancy.Net's online Ba Zi? Ba Zi analysis is extremely complex simply because many forms of analysis can be deduced from the same analysis. ie. you can determine your ba zi element, your luck period, your career, your health etc. So in order to produce a very good Ba Zi analysis, the person who program it must understand it very well. The programmer must understand that there are many variations of Ba Zi, which are traditional analysis, which are new modified styles and the various calendar system that are used. In Geomancy.net case, the online Ba Zi analysis is written personally by Robert Lee to replicate a manual analysis done by Cecil Lee or myself. So the formatting of the Ba Zi report is exactly as how we would manually chart them out. But rather than take the time to manually chart it out, we let the computing power do all the work. This way we can focused on the end result which is the portion of analysing the various results. Imagine if we were to do a manual analysis of a single ba zi, you have to chart out all the various Pillars (hour, day, month year) and two advanced pillars (house of life and house of conception). Next you have to work out all the various related information such as what each heavenly stem and earthly branches represent, what are the hidden ten dieties, what combination of elements clashes, which combines, which join but do not combine. How the seasons affect the element etc. Frankly, if you were to do manually, you will probably analyse only the various basic and important analysis. Often, you will skip doing every possible computation. This is where a Computerised Ba Zi excel. So long as you program all the various rules and combinations, you can ask the computer to loop each and every possible combination. This way you will NOT miss any single computation which you will normally skip if done manually. Thus, a computerised Ba Zi helps in providing all necessary information so that when Cecil or myself look at it, we can immediately deduce the problems, or tell you what's wrong with that portion of the chart. This reduces the manual computation time which Cecil and myself can use to focus on analysing more people and yet give you very DETAILED and COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS, which a manual analysis often cannot. 2. How detailed is a computerised Ba Zi by Geomancy.Net? Frankly, it can be as detailed as the programmer who wrote it wants it to be. Take Geomancy.net ba zi for example, it is not in it's version 1 or 2 but at this very point version 9/10. This means, that it does not just analyse the basic chart, but even analysis and REPLICATE the analysis explanation exactly how we would write it out in a manual analysis. Frankly, many of our Ba Zi analysis results are SPECIALLY written in such a way that Cecil and myself would prepare manually. Thus, our analysis not only analyses the basic information for us to use, but already worked out many of the major portion of our manual analysis. This not only allows our ba zi to produce accurate but very detailed reports. This, further makes it easier for us to focus on providing additional analysis which is not possible to be deduced by a computer, ie relating personalised events or questions to your existing chart. Thus, often when users purchase our Expert Help, we will analysis the online reports (which is already detailed), to produce additional personalised analysis which is not possible. Now we have a whole range of paid analysis which many of them (not released to the general public), produces such a fantastic human like explanation analysis, that you will not believe it is done all by a simple CPU. But as always, a computerised report can only do that much. In Geomancy.Net they are used to make it easy for us to focused on the FINAL analysis as opposed to computing it. Frankly, it has reach the stage where, our own manual analysis will take days and weeks to produce a similar one if done manually. Thus, users who experienced our reports will find many many details are revealed to them, and once they better understand it. Often, will find wealth of information revealed. This is the main reason for creating such Heaven Luck conferences, so that we can continuously produce articles to allow users to fully utilise our Ba Zi analysis. 3. How accurate is our computerised Ba Zi Analysis? It is as accurate as it is programmed. Frankly, our analysis does not hide by the falsely manipulating the Ba Zi information to our advantage. But rather let, the computing power of the computer deduce the various inter-relationship as defined by the various Ba Zi analysis ruleset. Thus, letting the computer deduce all the possible relationship (ie combination, clashes, harms, ten dieties etc) Then from there, users can see any possible problems and relationship. ie possible health related problems, imbalance in five element etc. It also, allows users to see how your Luck generally is set for you from your time of birth. We do not falsely or purposely manipulate the various rulesets to a specific analysis or advantage. But rather let the ba zi ruleset be shown to you by analysing it step by step. How often have you seen Ba Zi Expert use famous people as an example to prove how good their calculation are in explaining the past events or reasons for the their death or unfortunate accident? I am sure many of the users will find that they have in sometime or another read about such analysis. I often like to say these are falsely manipulated information. This is because, if you look at those various case studies, you will find that they identified that the reason for example is because of a clash found in the day and luck period and it is because of that that the accident took place. Let's use this example, and say two different person A and B. Both born in the same exact date and time of birth and in say US. If based on the above analysis, the two person will have the exact same clash found in the day and luck period. Say Person A is a famous super star, while the other Person B is an ordinary person. If the reason for the Person A's unfortunate accident is due to the clash in the day and luck period (as suggested by the master), why then did the Person B not suffer the same fate?? Won't you say that the two should have similar fate and troubles? Well, sadly, this is just a case to show you that often some of the indications of a clash in Ba Zi or facts are manipulated by such masters to prove that they are very accurate in there analysis. Often, if you use the same indications (which are ba zi analysis rules) as identified by them, for another person, you will not find that that same factor which they use will apply for other people. Instead, for another analysis done, he will say it is because of this and that. Often or not, when I do run such analysis of these person through Geomancy.net's ba zi, the reasons which our website will use for why the death occur is different. Often, the problem is not just because of the 10-year luck period clashing with the day pillar. In our analysis, it is often because of say 10-year luck period is inauspicious, followed by a Clash between the Year and Life Chart, and that the 5-yearly luck is also inauspicious, with say a combination which alters the favourable element. And even for that year itself, the luck is bad for that person, with a yearly luck clash with the Ba Zi Month Pillar. And that the month and day are also inauspicious. Often, it is because of these series of problems which occurs together, that an event that produces a very unfavourable time period for that person. In addition, that person must also be around with unfavourable influence such as a Strong Water person, who has 80% of water in his chart, and is currently in a Water 10-year, 5-year, yearly period. While being with friends of Strong Metal Strong Water personality, maybe even staying in a house which is Strong Metal. All these influence together, that often result in a death or unfortunate accident. This is how we analysis a chart. And because of this, even if a person of the same exact chart, will not have the exact same fate. This is why Geomancy.Net's ba zi report never falsely manipulate the information. It gives you exactly as it is charted, and thus allowing us to see more clearly the reasons for such an event. Thus, you can be assured that it also gives you a very unbiased look at your own chart based on what fate as given you. If you use Geomancy.Net way of analysis and ruleset, you can be certain, that if another case similiar to such a case, that person is likely to face the same problem. Thus, the rules which we use to find out about reasons for problem occuring is always consistent from one analysis to another. It is never changed or altered just to suit just that particular person or use only a certain way of identifying why this problem occur to that person. 4. Why is some manual or computerised Ba Zi analysis does not follow your past history? Simply because Ba Zi is only a Heavenly given luck. In Feng Shui point of view. Heavenly Luck is one of the 3 factors which influence your overall luck. A person's luck is affected by the Heaven Luck, Earth Luck and Human Luck. Where the Earth Luck is the most important factor. Often the Earth Luck influence will adversely affec your Heaven Luck. ie. A person who is supposed to enjoy very auspicious 10-year luck, but somehow he faces problem in this period then as seen in his ba zi. This is not because the Ba Zi is inaccurately calculated, but because that person's luck is for example affected as he stay in a House which is not favourable for him (ie a Strong Wood person, staying in an East House - Wood House), and based on the Shapes and Form of the house the house is a TRAPPED house or has a major feng shui leak such as Toilet in the Center of the house. Such influences make it an inauspicious period as compared to what he is suppsoed to have. Also, because Ba Zi is what you are supposed to be born with. It does not take into account factors such as your education, the location you, the people around you etc. The best example I would say is your education. Imagine this scenario:- A pair Twins born on the same date and time in the same place. One stay and get high education (PHD) in US. While another migrate to India and only attain Primary Education. Will they get the same luck? Will they earn the same amount of money? Of course not, and this is because of external influence, education influence which is NOT considered in your BA ZI. Thus, your luck in such cases will be different from your given luck. Thus, Ba Zi can only give you a guide. And is only so call "accurate" in terms of knowing how your chart unfolds. Many times, lots of users think that Ba Zi must produce an exactly similiar result as what you have encountered. Often this is a wrong conception. Ba Zi cannot predict your future, nor can it tell you exactly what you have previously encountered. It can and only tell you what you are supposed to have and how your luck is supposed to be. Ba Zi analysis when done properly can give you a fairly accurate account (assuming your earth luck is not adversely affected). Often what is important in a Ba Zi is how your luck is laid out for you, only when you know your luck and various indications can you work to use it to your advantage. Feng Shui is not a miracle cure all. It only helps you create an harmonious environment and how you should improve your luck. Once your luck is improved or if you feel comfortable at home, you will have better productivity to focus on your work. Ultimately, you have to work hard for it. Just like, if you have a romance star in your current period. However, if you do not socialise or meet or make the effort to court the girl you like, no marriage will occur. Some for work, if you do not work hard, you will not gain any success. So Ba Zi is just a one of the tool in Feng Shui to identify your Heaven Luck. If you can maximise what your Heaven Luck and suit it to your Earth luck, you will find it very rewarding.

Dear Chin Teck Lee, You can use this free ba zi report to generate your true element and favourable or unfavourable elements. http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm Generally, a general analysis often takes only your year of birth. However, even in a Dragon year, there are weak Fire Dragon or Strong Water Dragon etc. Each different element and strength will have different luck in that year itself. I am not sure if you are a weak fire or strong fire, as each element will have different favourable and unfavourable elements. So please use the above reports to find out what are good and bad for you. Fire exhaust Wood. It does not clash. Fire is often good for Strong Wood. Wood is good for Fire as Wood produces Fire. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Diana, If you use this free report, it will show you exactly what elements and colours you will need:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm Or the Comparison Report within the Members Area will accurately find a Binding Element common to both of you. Generally for weak Metal and weak Fire, probably one set of binding element could be Fire (Red) and Earth (yellow). There are several different combinations but Fire and Earth would probably be the best as fire enhance weak the weak Fire, while Earth enhance Metal. This also helps you to create an harmonious combination of element Fire -> Earth -> Metal. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee
