Dear Users, As always we are constantly improving our website and it's resources & features. In order to better consolidate the various additional features added since the last site update, we found the need to further improved the site structure and layout so that you can better access all the various site features on this website. We made sure that we kept what made the recent updates so good (the easy navigational links). Now we made it even better with the latest changes to standardise the site structure and colour schemes if any. 1. LAYOUT IMPROVEMENTS ====================== You will find that the latest revision is extremely friendly and visually appealing to view. In addition, we also made many fine tunings to the website codes which further optimise the web page loading which still supports cross-browser compatibility. 2. SECTION RE-ORGANISATION ========================== We have revised several of the sections so that they now better reveal all the key features of the website by moving some of the categories previously under a sub-category into the main categories. These changes makes finding useful parts of our website extremely easy. In addition, we did this as we are busy expanding many resources into different sections of the website. So you will expect to see more resources made available in the coming weeks. 3. PERSONALISED ANALYSIS REPORTS SECTION ======================================== We have just added a whole new section which will also be a resource section on learning more about the various reports available, and how to use them etc. Currently, this section is still being constructed, and will probably be further refined in the next few days. However, it currently contain a summary of all the various FREE and PAID reports available, plus NON-MEMBERS Report Generations tools and more. This will allow users to be able to know more about the tools available and how you can better make use of them. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports.htm 4. SITE OVERVIEW TOUR & OTHER TOURS =================================== Since our website is extremely large and provides so many services. It is difficult to be able to let all users know what we actually have. So we have created the Site Overview Tour a new guide to understanding more about our Website and its resources. In fact, we are also working on several new tour tools (such as how to generate report, how you can better use them, theories tour and many other tour). This will be similiar to the Fun with Feng Shui Tour which we used to have, but now it has grown so large that more sub-tours are need to better allow users to be able to find resources on our extensive website. 5. OTHER SECTIONS ================= We have also clean up many of our other pages. The new Table of Content for each page are also revised so that they not only look visually good. We added the latest news for each section (so that news relating to that portion of the website can be available to let users know of recent updates). In addition, we started to clean up all our site sections so that more details about that section and summary about what each section offers etc are being improved upon. UPCOMING UPDATES ================ Users can expect to see more new resources on the Reports section, more Course Modules added and lots more NEW resources being added to various parts of the website. ............................................. So this is actually a major revamp of the latest website to improve upon the latest layout which has been well received by users feedback. Hope you enjoyed the various updates & site improvement. And you will continue to see more exciting developments in the coming weeks. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Users, We have been fine tuning our website in the past few days optimising the entire website so that it can handle the increasing heavy load due to increased site visitors. 1. WEB PAGE COMPRESSION We have fully enabled this web compression which saves 20-40% of a webpage size for faster loading. 2. LIVE CHAT We GREATLY improved the Live Chat logging and tracking feature so that it now loads much faster to display the chat buttons. This will significantly speed up our website loading speed even during the very peak period where US morning and Singapore evening time meets. 3. IMPROVED TABLE OF CONTENT We have designed a new table of content format to replace the older table of content for each section of the website. This will make the site easier to navigate:) 4. HELP PAGES We now improved the online PAID SERVICE HELP with graphical screen capture to make it easy to follow the instructions, plus we also updated the help so that it now reflects the correct help for the latest revised My Feng Shui layout changes. ............................................. Plus many other works are being prepared before launch. Hope you enjoy the overall changes. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Dear Users, Hope you that you have enjoyed your holidays! During the holidays we have been busy improving the website. SITE UPDATES ============ 1. Now that we have fixed up all the compatibility issues between the various browsers in viewing our webpage. We have published the latest webpages which are now in compressed form. This means that our webpages will now load much faster due to the reduced size. 2. My FengShui membership website. We have revised the internal website & layout so that it now loads faster due to frame based layout. We also took the opportunity to revise all the Feng Shui Analysis Reports & Access, and make is easier to Switch between the Free Advise Forum and Free Feng Shui Analysis Tools seemlessly. ............................................. OTHER DEVELOPMENT ================= Other developments that are being being tested before it is launched are:- 1. A more comprehensive Search Engine (which will integrate searches made from our public webpages, Forum Messages & Picture resources). In final phase of testing. 2. Changing Templates of the various My FengShui publich login pages (we will be integrating the new layout with some way to remember your previous login so that you need not enter your Account & Password the next time if you so wish to.) 3. Further changes to Products page and new Shopping Cart. 4. Additional new reports and features such as finding the right hour in the day (for the Auspicious Dates reports, and lots more. .............................................

Dear Users, Firstly, we would like to wish all users a very prosperous New Year! You can read our Year 2002 forecast which also includes Flying Star 2002 and Grand Duke 2002 analysis at this URL:- URL : http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/forecast-2002.htm UPDATES TO WEBSITE ================== We have made several updates to the website in the past few days:- 1. WEBSITE DISPLAY - We fixed a few display problems which does not properly show the website (as it was designed) in particularly Netscape 4 where the left frame Site Navigation was Justified, which is should be left aligned.) Now it should be properly displayed on different web browser (Netscape 4+, Internet Explorer 4+ and Opera 6) 2. LIVE CHAT - We have also refined this so that we can not page a visitor into chat if there is a need to contact the visitor in case of a chat session termination due to network delays. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/sitetools/live-chat/live-chat.htm 3. FORUM 10 Ten messages & 10 Updates from Announcement Conference has been created and added to the website so that users can see the latest message being posted, and also quickly access the new message for viewing. We implemented these in the Main Page, Resource Center and Site News. 4. CHINESE ASTROLOGY - As this is considered "Zi Wei Dou Shu" with many issues quite similar to the Ba Zi Earthly Branches / Animal Branch, we felt that rather than separating it like what we have been doing under (lovesigns.net) we have decided to integrate it into Geomancy.Net as one of the sections. This will allow us to better update and link this resources where necessary. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/love/astrology.htm 5. After gathering several feedbacks from users, we understand that our website is now easier to navigate, but there are few key shortcut links which are not made available at the top level of the Site Navigational Menu. So we have re-fined the site navigation a little so that key sections of the website are now easier to access. 6. PRODUCTS, CONSULTATION, CERTIFICATE COURSE section are now available in the new site design. Only the final shop component is still being upgraded to a new Shop component for better access. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/products/products.htm 7. My Feng Shui section, we also have refined several of the reports in the My Feng Shui section. What's left is the updating of the site layout for the My FengShui into the new site design. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/sitetools/members/members.htm 10. POST A CARD - Our My Pictures resources have a Post the picture as a postcard which is now working properly as we have configured the necessary mail component for it to work. So while you are enjoying and learning from the Picture resources, you can also post it to a friend:) ............................................. That's about all the updates made in the past few days. We are still making many updates to the website so that it gets better. And also all older webpage links will be TOTALLY removed very shortly so that you do not get confused with the two different site navigation and design, while also making the entire website very uniform and easier to access the various resources. Hope you enjoy the various updates! Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Users, First of all we like to wish all users a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! It has been a wonder full year for us, as we seen significant changes and expansion of our website. ............................................. Recent Site Updates =================== 1. As our website resources is enormous, we added a few features that will allow users to e-mail to themselves or friends URL or pages which you like to remember for future refrence. So we added two features E-mail this page or Bookmark this page for your personal reference. 2. We also added a Print this page to allow you to print out the content of that webpage you are accessing. 3. Our Forum has been always buzzing with activities and often many updates are posted through our forum as compared to the external news pages. Thus to make our website even more interesting and to also allow such updates to be added to the main page, we created a special script that allows us to dynamically update the latest message posted in the forum to be displayed and linked from external pages. So you will never miss a new update and can also easily access new messages that was posted. Other Minor Fixes ================= 1. We also fixed up the CSS coding for the entire website so that users who use Netscape 6+, and Opera 6+ will be able to enjoy the website just as users using Microsoft Internet Explorer. 2. Live Chat, we further enhanced the live chat system so that it now display a photo of the helper. For the very first time you will be able to see us just as if we are there. (This has been a long awaited issue where many users often like to see how we look.) 3. Others less minor stuff are redirection of older links, clean up of My Adviser Forum features and layout. Edu-Poll votes in a separate window to prevent you from being diverted from your site navigations etc. ............................................. Hope you enjoy the various changes to the website.

Dear Users, We are pleased to announce that we have launched our Geomancy Live Chat system to provide one-to-one chating software that will allow users to chat with us whenever we are available. This is very similiar to the the previous chat system (Human Click) which we used, however, that system is always affected by the bandwidth of their website, so many a times it was slow and difficult for us to provide the necessary support. However, this new system is loaded from our Geomancy.Net web server, so it is more available. In addition, our help desk is also setup with the necessary bandwidth and 24 hour connection, so it allows us to enable this system for longer period of time without interruptions. We will be enabling out chat system so long as our support staff is available. (Usually, we will enable it at around 9am - 5pm +0800 GMT timezone). However, we will be enabling it so long as we are free. This way, you can always find an easy and immediate response to your support needs. This icon can be found on all the new web pages under the Site Navigation (located at the left). Or under the My Adviser & My Feng Shui at the top right hand corner. This icon will only appear when we are online and available for chat, otherwise, it will be hidden. Hope you enjoy the new Site Feature!

Dear Users, Thank you for your support for Geomancy.Net all these years. We are proud to inform all users that our efforts of re-organising our website is finally completed. This had taken us a few months for us to finally launch the new & improved website. This took us a while because it is a new site design, navigational design, colour scheme design plus reorganisation of a large resources section (several thousands of webpages to clean up). You will find very easy navigation features that will make navigating through the website a breeze! However, this has been completed and the entire website has been organised neatly into sections and sub-sections which makes finding resources and many features of the website very much faster and easier. Along with the re-organisation we have also added new sections to the website (such as Events & Student sections). Some of the key new sections are as follows:- New Sections ============ 1. EVENTS - This is planned for any future events and archive of past events we have held. 2. STUDENTS - This ection is for all our Courses Students which will contain your web certificate details, plus many student resources which plan to provide for all students of Geomancy.Net 3. RESOURCES - Many resources are reorganised, plus a new section Feng Shui Theories is being added and updated. We plan to be adding more resources as we publish the updated sections in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, this section has grown into many sub-sections for easy access. New Courses =========== 1. Flying Star (Xuan Kong Fei Xing) Certificate Course - This comprehensive & easy to understand course is finally completed and we are just left with the preparation of the Course Site and Products page before this is launched. (We will be launching the pre-course promotions for it in the next few days, and the course will be made available for all to access officially.) 2. Pillars of Destiny (Ba Zi Feng Shui) Certificate Course - This is the next course planned to be launch in Early-November. ............................................. As you can tell we have many new and exciting stuff planned. Thus, there was a need to launch our new website before all these can be introduced. We will be posting more updates & details on the our main website (http://www.geomancy.net). Many new stuff will be published in the coming weeks so remember to check back to our website for more updates on many new features. Hope you enjoy the various changes to the website. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Users, As of today (28 July 2001) we have completed 90% of the upgrading works. - All website are now loaded from the new server (except for My FengShui section last to transfer) - All mails are also directed to the new mail server (there might be some disruption due to some errors in DNS settings when we were trying to switch it over, so if you tried to send mails on 26/27 July, if you hit some errors or did not get a reply from us, please e-mail again.) We will be transferring the My Online within these two days. The upgrading works is done slowly and carefully as the site setup is a complex one with a nearly overhaul of software upgrading which requires us to test to ensure everything is working well. Our main website http://www.geomancy.net is not hosted on the new server. We will be launching the new and improved website once the final My FengShui section is fully transferred. The new website is clean, simple, fast loading and most of all extremely easy to navigate as we have added many nagivational features, including a site index for quick references. Also, new sections are created for more interesting access for all users. This complete upgrading gives us an opportunity to upgrade our web and mail servers so that it gives us access to the latest technologies. Plus it gives us the change to re-organise the entire 6 years of Geomancy.Net data. This allowed us to put new ideas and create a better website for you as compared to simply a "facelift". So many new stuff are expected when the new website is officially launched. We would like to apologise for any inconvienced caused by any upgrading works. If you encounter any problems with the website feel free to contact us "admin@geomancy.net" with your problems. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Users, We are now in the final phase of our upgrading process. From now to end of this month, no more changes or updates will be posted to our main front page (http://www.geomancy.net). The last updated posted was dated 6 July 2001. Since our My Adviser Forum and the url redirectional website are already hosted on the new server, these section will remain unaffected during the upgrading. Thus, this will be where all our updates will be posted to during this period. As we are expecting downtimes from different sections of the website during the month of July 2001. We have decided to allow provide some discounts for all our products and services offered on the website. This is our way of apologising to all users who wanted to purchase our service during this time but happen to encounter the sitedown or in the process of upgrading. We know that these can be fustration for users who needs to purchase our products and services and find difficulty accessing the site as while we are upgrading different sections of the website. So as an apology, we have put up very special upto 60% discounts on our products and services. These pricing will last until our upgrading is completed or until end of July 2001. However, we will minimise our upgrading works so that you can still enjoy uninterrupted access to the website and site features. Thank you for your patience during these period of upgrading. We hope to bring you the very latest in software and hardware technology so that we can continue to provide even more value added services to all users in the long run. We strive to constantly bring you the very best and improve through your valuable feedback. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Users, We are taking these few months to make massive upgrading project on our website. As you can noticed the Forum and certain parts of the website should be much faster noew due to new Dual Pentium III 1Gh servers. Our quick redirectional domain pointers are also upgraded to include the pointers to the url in case you are not automatically brought to the page defined. The upgrading project is a MAJOR one as all parts of the website as it involves both backend and frontend upgraded. Many backend software like web server software / mail server software are being upgraded to cater to the demands of our website. In the front end, a new website with a complete re-organised structure has is now being refined and will be launched once the entire website is fully upgraded. You will see more added features for better support, interaction with us, integration to all parts of the website, new resources section, new learning section, new course student section and many more which we have been working on for the past few months. Because lots of changes are involved, we have decided not to launch any parts one at a time but rather as a completely new website:) We hope to have the new site launched by the end of this month. So during this time certain parts of the site (eg. banner approval, links approval and all webmasters features will be delayed.) This is to allow for us to be able to migrate them to newer software without any corruption. Also, any certificate request will all be put on hold so that our records will be keep uncorrupted during the upgrading process. During any major section of the upgrade, we will put up a temporarily site is undergoing upgrading webpage to alert all users. We will keep any downtime to a minimal, but for important site upgrade some downtime is required so that all transfer can be done smoothly without. Hope you can understand. We are gearing our website for even greater expansion after gaining over 6 years of continous site expansion. Meanwhile, during this time minimal pages upgrades will be done to the older site as we are focusing our time and effort on the new website. This means that any site promotions will be kept ongoing and extended until our upgrades is completed. This also applies to our Online website, everything is kept running on the older server, while the new server is being configured. Thank you for your support and valuable feedbacks. Warmest Regards Robert Lee Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear David, If you used many of the free analysis tools on our My FengShui website, all your answers will be answered:- Based on a quick check on the various free reports:- - You are a fire element person (whether weak or strong will depend on a full analysis of the Pillars of Destiny) - Your Kua Number is 5 - Your Chinese Horoscope is Monkey. Luck Pillars can only tell your heavenly luck. Your bad luck could be due to your current house you are staying may not be suitable for you or contain bad stars. Not just the pillars. Or simply a very unsuitable job element for example. Unless a more complete analysis is done with your Pillars of Destiny and Flying Star of the house, it is difficult for us to advise you further. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi, Generally, the 1st practitioner you seek seems to be using Eight House Theory, where he only focus on the suitability of the Breadwinner (your husband) to the house itself. There are actually 4 directions which the breadwinner can choose to have houses which still falls in the good direction. This is based solely on the Eight House theory. You can make use of the free Eight House Theory report on the My FengShui website to find out which are the 4 good and 4 bad direction based on your Husband's Date of Birth. The 2nd Practitioner seems to have used both the Eight House and Flying Star to analyse the house for you. Here it is important to have:- 1. The house has to be rather suitable to your husband, meaning to say that so long as it falls into any of the 4 good sector of the breadwinner, that is fine. That means that the house will suit you. 2. The other issue about the Eight House is also to find a master bedroom which suits the breadwinner. Next is to ensure that there are suitable bedrooms for all other family members staying in the house. You can check this with the Free Eight House or Free Group Analysis report on the website. 3. The other important factor after finding a house which is suitable is hopefully to find a suitable house with also a good combinations of starts in the main door. Based on what you mentioned, it would seems that although you may have selected a suitable house to your husband, but you have not taken into account the flying star of the house when you first selected it. As mentioned there are 4 suitable directions of the house and each direction there are 3 sub-sectors eg. SW there are SW1, SW2, SW3. A 45 degree divison. So apparently the current house may be suitable to your husband, but the main door is NOT the best that you can get. This means that you will NOT get a great leap of improvement financial from this house, as compared to a house which is suitable to you can contain good flying star reading of the main door and the bedroom. Based on the details you have provided, since there are star 2 & 5 and not knowing the other stars in that sector, Metal is the cure for the star 2 as they represent Strong Earth. The most common and effective cure is to use the 6 coins tied with a red string, since you are in Singapore, another alternative is to put 6 $1 coin (which is bagua shaped if you noticed), onto a red packet paper and hang it above the door somewhere visible. Simply to not activate the bad stars, you just have to avoid having that sector painted (yellow or any shades of yellow), plus to have strong amounts of earth related properties (eg. colour, shape etc). You can make use of the Free Flying Star report in the My FengShui website to verify if the 2nd practitioner's calculation of the Flying Star of your home is correct. Besides just focusing on only the point that one of the star is 2 or 5, you need to make sure that the combinations of effects by the various stars makes that sector good or bad. Otherwise, only a single star does not make the sector necessarily bad. Since you already have the house, you should fix up any and all problem sectors based on the Flying Star of the house, and then try to locate your various family members into suitable rooms based on the Eight House. If you can do that, you can at least make sure that you get the best of your current house. BTW, besides just the Flying Star and Eight House, it is equally important to check out the shapes and forms of the exterior factors in your home and also any internal poison arrows and other Shapes and Form principles. Feng Shui is not just solely about the Eight House and Flying Star which are just one section of the Traditional Compass School techniques. You also have the important Shapes and Forms factors, and the other Pillars of Destiny personal element which are equally important. You will benefit most when you get an all rounded reading of the house from your personal suitability (Eight House), Personal elements (Pillars of Destiny), Birth Chart of the House (Flying Star), and Shapes and Forms feature of your estate or land area. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Actually, the problem here lies here in that you associated the wood finishing or funiture directly to thwe NW sector. And also assumed that since NW sector is Metal it destroy Wood. Also, you are refering to Mentor Luck which belongs to the Eight Associate Directions. All these are very static theories and usually in Feng Shui we put very low priority in such problems. By fixing such "low" priority issues, it will not bring leaps and bounds of improvement to your life. And that is why it is materializing slowly. What Cecil has tried to point out to you is that Flying Star theory is the one which you need to focus on to help you change influence more quickly as it is usually the interaction of these stars which are usually creating problems for you. Often, in Feng Shui you will only enjoy leaps and bounce when you fix up all the problem areas affecting you. For example, if you know that a sector in your home is not so good, you should correct it, by correcting a problem sector, it reduces the inauspicious impact on you. In this way, it makes you more auspicious. So the way to apply Feng Shui is not simply just to take very generalised issues and hope that they will turn around. It is identifying problems areas and fixing them. Only by doing so will you find your luck much better. Actually, that is not necessary, what we are simply pointing out to you is the use of the correct theories for the correct analysis of whether certain is good or bad for you. You can get use the free flying star analysis to help you determine if there are problem sectors in your home. No, that is not true. The stars does changes constantly, but more importantly that is why in the website we normally do a Flying Star for the 20-year period which the house is in. This is because the 20-year period problems usually affect the people staying that all the time. The yearly stars, monthly stars etc also change every day, but these affects mostly the that year or month or day only. That is why in life there are always some Ups and Downs. There is NO SMOOTH sailing scenario for even the most lucky person. He will bound to feel a little ups and downs. But what is important here is to fix up the 20-year period which affects you in the longer period of time. These will reduce the influence even if an unlucky star comes into the year or month. Also, usually we do and cure up to the yearly star as a limit, as do make changes every month or day is ridiculars. So often when a Flying Star is done once for the house so that you can fix the problems found and enhance good areas. No further assessment is actually needed until you make a major renovation to the house which alters the period of the house. If you find that 90% of your luck period for each 10-year period is falling under your auspicious element, this is like travelling through a time which belongs to your favourable element. So generally, you will seem to be extremely lucky. On the other hand, if you find that 90% of your luck period for each 10-year period is falling under your inauspicious element, you will feel extremely unlucky. As no matter what you do you will always find obstacles. This is why there are those very lucky person who happens to be always with luck on their side. And luck can be in the form of favourable elements which help you along the way. But no matter what, whether a person is lucky or unlucky, there are still ups and downs as there are always changes in luck every day. So you cannot expect smooth sailing for a lucky person, and for a bad sailing for an unlucky person. Yes, that is always the case. Actually, the problem here does lies with many authors putting up generalised theories and using it to advise everyone. This is bad, as without some personalised Feng Shui assessment, you will not be able to help a person. Instead it will cause more harm than good. Just imagine, that just because say the Flying Star of a sector (south) is star 5, and that means an inauspicious sector. If the author simply assumes this and tells everyone that they must put up this cure etc, this is bad. Coz, yes although star 5 is bad, but it also depends on how it interacts with the rest of the 20-year. It is also just as bad to say that say south-west is marriage sector and you must put a this cure etc to enhance it. These are generalised statements and usually should not be followed. Instead, what we try to do is to provide all the personalised tools available on the website so that users can at least know their personal element (eg. wood etc), some knowledge about their house good or bad and also favourable elements. Actually with many of the information from the website, you will be able to improve and enhance your home in a wide variety of ways:- eg. knowing your birth element = wood You will know that favourable elements to you are water (blue, black, gray), wood (green/brown). You can use these to enhance yourself already by having personal object being these favourable elements, paint your home in these colours, get a job which is your favourable elements, a house which suits you etc. These helps you answer your final question on creating a home that is pleasant. As you are creating harmony. Actually for Feng Shui, what you need to really bother is your home and your personal self. - Remove any poison arrows which from areas around you and in the house etc. - Have a home which is suitable to you, and fix any problem sectors in the house. - Locate a bedroom which is good for you and sleep in that sector. - Enhance yourself by following your favourable colours which are favourable to you. Once you accomplish these, actually in regards to other things such things about the house where to place this and that, what kind of furniture to get, etc. All these can be left to you so long as you feel comfortable with it. Feng Shui contains many topics and theories, knowing which one to use which is how you get the best out of it. More importantly it is to help you find out problems that might affect you and how to fix it. If you can do that, there shouldn't be much worry at all at other areas. Hope that helps:) Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear John, Generally, that would mean that your career is a Metal-Water type of career. If you are a strong Fire, that will be good for you. So since you a weak fire, you will need to enhance yourself with wood and fire. So for the direction of your store, since it is your personal suitability issue, if it is irritation, you cannot really change or fix it. It would be best, though that you get something which suits you rather than one which does not. In such cases, you would probably be better off if you can at least locate your cash register in the better sector of your shop and also try to work facing your good locations and avoid the bad locations. Alternatively, you can assess your shop with a Flying Star report and then fix up the problem areas and enhance the good sectors. If the Flying Star shows a good sector in your main door, then at least it would be entirely bad, even though you do not suit it. However, since it is only your Irritation sector is not as bad as death or disaster so quite ok and average. Hope that helps:) Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Diane, When you mentioned inauspicious area, is the inauspicious determined by Eight House or Flying Star theory? If it is determined by Eight House, eg. irration sector, then there is very little you can do, as you should simply avoid that sector. This is because you simply do not suit it. If it is determined by Flying Star, eg. bad sector must use cure. Then you can use the cure suggested. Usually, most of the flying star cure does not directly impact a person's personal element as they are applied in a small quantity. For your personal element, in order to enhance it, you should use metal or water, so simply wear more metal or water colours (white/gold, blue/back/gray) colours and to help you in your unfavourable areas. Hope that helps:) Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Emily, Based on what you mentioned, the use of metal is often the common most effective cure as using 6 coins tied with a red string and simply hang it in that direction. However, what you have provided is the apartment number, usually for Apartment number, the main interpretation is usually auspicious or inauspicious. How much an impact it will create on you and your family depends greatly on the flying star analysis of your main door and the rooms which you stay in. As these are the areas where you are staying in most of time in the house which affects you most. So whether or not the house number analysis will really come true or not depends on the analysis of the main door itself, if it is good then, not much worry. That means that the house is a good one, just that maybe not as auspicious as another house number. If the house is inauspicious, well then you have to fix the main door to reduce the problems it has affecting your home. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Diane, Yes, it can be worked out and already exists in our Group Analysis report which we have yet to release to the general public. The binding element would be two elements combination:- They are metal and wood. Or water & wood. - metal/water for weak water - wood for weak fire By strengthening weak water which destroy fire, you will enhance water strengthen. Then having Wood, it exhaust water and give strength to weak fire. So this way, both benefit from it. However, this means you need to apply two different elements instead of one common binding element. This is quite usual for many scenarios as well. However, usuall mean a not so favourable compatibility as those requiring only one element. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Carlisha, This generally tells me that you are not born with a silver spoon, which means that you life is not very smooth sailing, and that you have to work extremely hard to overcome your difficulties. And that often you will meet with obstacles in whatever you do. Please take note here also, that in the free version several analysis are not taken into consideration so, your actual chart may not necessary be so very bad as changes may occur along your life which alters your luck period for certain period. Generally, since you are a weak fire, so having more favourable elements in your life eg. wood, fire. Will be better than having more unfavourable elements such as water, earth and metal. By this you can accomplish that in many ways:- 1. Get house which is wood or fire element (eg. East or South facing house). As a house is where you stay most of the time, it helps boost your earthly luck. 2. Have things you own in your favourable colours eg. clothes, car, etc. Wood (green, brown). Fire (red) Having more things you own and areas which you work or stay in colours suitable for you, it helps create harmony and strengthen you. Once you are strengthen eg. strong fire, then you will no longer be worried about the bad influence that the year has on you. It helps to offset or reduce any impact on you. So generally, that is the best way you can do to take advantage of the knowledge of your ups & downs in life from the Pillars of Destiny. Personally, it will not help much even if you take on a chinese names, as unless you use it, no point. Pillars of Name (for choosing Chinese Name) does help a person, but for the Chinese, well it is a name which they use day in and day out. So it does help when you have a good name. But in your case, even if you take on a Chinese name, it will often be your secondary name and unless everyone calls you by that name, it will not help much. So the best way is to enhance yourself with favourable elements. That should help you create better influence for a bad period. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Sarina, Since you are refering to the Eight Associate Directions (Wealth and Marriage Sector). This is considered a static Theory, just like some of the those based on bagua (NW=Metal etc). Usually, these are placed on the least priority to focus on when trying to create a Feng Shui friendly location. Simply because they are not personalised to anyone, so it is unlikely to be of great impact to anyone. Also, usually we are more focus to try to fix problems that exists such as Sha Qi or Poison Arrow created from sharp corners of objects in the house which cuts into a person working in that area. This means that you always try to fix problems which you can see and not worry so much about every single item or object. Often, you are free to place anything anywhere you want, so long as you feel confortable using it and it does not create any obstruction to you. For Feng Shui related issues, usually one should only worry when it comes to choosing a house (where it should face), and choosing bedrooms for each members. These are more important as they often affect the person staying there if it does not suit them. For object, so long as they do not create any poison arrow, you can apply most of the shapes and forms theories to create a harmonous placement of object in the house. Hope that helps.
