  1. Dear Leon,
    What you refer to is actually sometimes known as the
    "Eight-One Combinations".
    The explanation is that 81 Combinations are fixed detailed description of different combinations as the numbers of the stars comes together. It provides short explanation of the combination effects.
    For example:
    MS [8] & WS[6] means Prosperity, good wealth.
    Geomancy.net Flying star course students, do get a table showing all the meaning of the 81 combinations i.e.
    1 with 2
    2 with 3
    etc..
    to
    9 with 9
    Alternatively, perhaps some authors may have such a table for you.

    Is the combination of 8/3 or
    3/8 only deemed bad in the Kun
    sector
    You have to do research or get materials on this 81 combination.

    Currently I am very busy, as several new condominiums have TOP such as Gardens @ Bishan and the Maderia and a few more. And many of my clients are trying to finalise their new home layout.
    Warmest Regards,

    Hi,
    In reading the interpretation
    of combinations of f/b/m stars
    in Eva Wong's book, I can
    understand the effects of the
    stars based on the
    "conditional, unconditional
    and additive effects" to a
    certain degree. What I do not
    understand is how does she
    derive the meaning of the
    interactions. For Example in
    her book: 3b/8f or 8b/3f in
    Kun denotes that this
    combination is bad. It
    forebodes suicidal deaths and
    /or the death of young
    children.
    I am not clear on where this
    meaning comes from.
    Is there another book that
    describes that death has a
    certain number and children
    have certain number.
    Is the combination of 8/3 or
    3/8 only deemed bad in the Kun
    sector
    Any help in this matter would
    greatly be appreciated. :)
    Regards.


  2. Dear Anon,
    Frankly, this category of Feng Shui is often classified under "Kindergarten Feng Shui".
    Where we commonly hear: North = water, South = fire etc..
    Just a few years ago, I remembered, locally some practitioners were simply practising this type of Feng Shui. Many of them, I heard, have very few business - if any.
    With more sophisticated consumers; it would be more fruitful to learn more of both Shapes and Forms as well as Compass School Feng Shui.
    Under Flying Star, instead of a generalised view that north = water, one should follow where the #1 star lands on the 9 grid system. Here, #1 and a combination of it e.g. #4 often leads to prosperity etc...
    Truly, do make a change, today:)
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Dear Master Cecil,
    My kua
    number is 8. My master bedroom
    (on the second floor) is in
    the North sector. I would like
    to know how to enhance this
    corner - it's my career
    corner. This North sector
    should have blue (water)
    features but since this is my
    bedroom, I shouldn't have
    that. I guess I can use blue
    on the first floor but what
    colors are ok to use in the
    bedroom or does it matter now
    since I have blue in the North
    on the first floor beneath me?
    I don't want to have
    conflicting colors. I want to
    enhance the career and romance
    corner at the same time. So
    would red be too
    'destructive'?

    Thank you.


  3. Dear Anon,
    Most of the time is the location, pedestrian traffic and also the type/value of food.

  4. Dear Angelina,
    You may seriously consider "flying" to Period 8 for better Feng Shui for your home.
    However, if this part of the home is your main entrance, you may consider:
    1. A real water position to neutralise #7 1 #7.
    2. Alternatively a second (less effective) option is to use a blue carpet.

    cures for the bad stars 3 & 5
    in the east, se and north
    sectors. Please help. Thank
    you.

    I believe if your home is a NE 2 or 3, than you are faced with MS#2 Base#5 and WS#4.
    This would be "different" from just having only #3 and #5.
    With the addition of MS#2 in this equation, seriously, it would be better to consider "moving" metal e.g. a wind chime or a constant chiming clock. To constantly neutralise this "bad" (erh.. rotten) sector.
    Warmest Regards,

  5. Dear Joey,
    This is a very good question.
    Since you encountered such a situation, it is best to:
    1. Often, this building does not stand-alone.
    2. Do look around at other buildings on the same "row". And where their "main entrance" are located.
    3. If it is a shopping complex, usually, there is a "major" entry or lobby vs a smaller side lobby.
    4. Check for sun-light/shadow flow. Which facing is blocked by other buildings?
    5. Is the building close to the sea? If so, often, we should look closely at the facing towards the sea.
    6. At the entrance area, check to see which lobby looks bright (natural brightness).
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

  6. Dear Patrick,
    It is good if you can provide a sketch - to take a look.
    This is because, if you managed to go thru past resources on this forum, you can see examples of homes at culdesac that are good or bad depending on where the home(s) are situated.

  7. Dear Val,
    Understand that there will be a confusion.
    In fact, quite recently, there is an earlier forum message seeking clarification of Gua 5 (Kua 5).
    Please do a SEARCH for the above.
    The rationale is because when the calculation "hits" Gua 5, it is re-directed to the correct Gua / Kua based on male or female.
    By-the-way (BTW), therefore " Gua 5 " is actually the centre Gua. And since there are only eight sectors, there is no such thing as an actual centre Gua / Kua 5.
    Please go to the earlier message and you can find out more.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

  8. dear Jen,
    1. If there is no boundary and the entire piece of land seamlessly looks like merging with the entire area, than, this is far better off! Than, purposely demarcating boundary. Where, it will clearly show as a truly odd shaped piece of land.
    2. Generally, we should not be too fearful of odd shaped piece of land. Unless often it affects the drainage of the land.
    3. Overall, after reading your note, I do feel sad, not because of your land but the fact that I live in a country that not only must one have a fence but it has to be relatively high or prevent unauthorised people coming into it.
    4. In Asia, and especially in Singapore the norm for a landed property home is "detering fences/brick walls" ; in addition it is common to find alarm systems. And yeah! the traditional guard dogs!
    But the guard dogs are often truly a laughing matter! As many local owners here don't keep dobermans etc... but rather poodles or small pet dogs that barks louder than they ever can bite!
    More importantly, the landscaping surrounding your own home should be as "rectangular" as possible. This is fair enough.

  9. Dear Kesaven,
    Fortunately, there is no MS #9 or base #9. As this is truly a fire element.

    Quote
    Knowing that this is a fire
    sector (south)
    Thus, in my opinion, it is best not to assume that south = fire sector. But rather, under the Flying Star Feng Shui, as mentioned above, fortunately there is no #9 at this sector to further fuel bad earth #5. Even so, #9 if present at this sector will already be exhausting the wood. Thus, even if the fire element is at this sector, it is still ok.

    You are correct to say that you should use a metal cure, here. And if possible avoid using real water at this location. As water may further fuel the bad #3 wood x 2.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

  10. Dear Fiona,
    Yes, I do agree with your analysis.
    Under Period 8, if your home has a SE 2 Flying star chart; it is not really a fantastic chart since only the front and back have good numbers.
    Otherwise, as you had mentioned, majority of the other sectors under SE 2 (P8) needs attention.
    Therefore, it is like a double edged sword, if the home were to fly to Period 8.

    question is whether the

    No, although there is the pearl string, but you still need to place a cure for star #7 especially at the frontage.
    However, once this is neutralised; this is fair game:)
    Do use the alternative door, you mentioned.

  11. Dear Todd,
    Congratulations! For a newbie, you did a great job in researching and constructing a Flying Star Chart.
    1. Yes, given that Grand Duke is at SW this year, it is indeed a good idea to give up on placing the tub at this sector, here.
    2. At South-East sector, quickly: #1 = water #2 bad earth and #4 is wood.
    Quoting your research: "Lu Qi V2.3 Flying Stars of House
    - Metal is the cure, as it weakens the Earth and strengthens the Water of the good star 1. Possibly Wood, which fed by Water, controls the aggressive Earth of 2. But no mobile Water, that would activate the bad star 2!"
    Based on the Five elements concept:
    http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm
    Yes, I would agree that metal is the cure - since it is the "unifying" or the third element that creates a flow:
    earth -> metal -> water -> wood
    However, based strictly on the Five elements concept:-
    "But no mobile Water, that would activate the bad star 2!"
    If one looks at the productive sequence of the Five elements concept:
    water does not activate bad star 2.
    Also under the destructive sequence of the Five elements concept:
    water instead of fueling bad star 2 - in fact "draws out or decreases star 2."
    Given this understanding, I feel that tub can still be at South-East sector. But for the colour of this area avoid: Fire (Red, pink or purple) since it can fuel bad 2. Or avoid Earth (cream, beige or yellow) as this can help increase bad earth.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    I just built a

    install the hot tub in the
    south east corner of the sun
    room based on E/W FU WEI House
    F4 direction.
    Or maybe I
    should forget the whole hot
    tub idea until the S or SW
    becomes more suitable?
    quoted from CIGFS pertaining
    to S
    Rule 1: If a good wander
    star (F4 wood) produces the
    palace (S fire), install the
    phase that enhances the star.
    This is because the palace is
    weakening the star. While wood
    is enhancing the southern fire
    palace, fire is weakening
    wood?s power. Add water to
    fortify wood?s strength.

  12. Dear A J,
    Generally, IF the home is a Period 8 home, majority of SE facing homes have favourable Flying Star especially water star 8 at this sector.
    This is one consideration.
    Under the Eight House, it is best also to check the eight house influence in the master bedroom. Hopefully it is not you or your partner's disaster or death side.
    Alternatively, in Feng Shui, there is a possibility of tilting the main door towards a good facing direction. This is said to be "killing two birds" with one stone i.e. no longer face inauspicious direction and changed to a good favourable main door direction.

    Yes, sometime back in the 1970's it was very common to purchase boomerangs from Oz.

    So far, to me, it seems that they do not remotely look like knifes or swords. Thus I feel it is OK.

    Overall, it looks like all the better units had been snapped up i.e. especially #03 and #05.
    Blocks #02 and #07 in my opinion are considered unfavourable because of the fact that these units are exposed to the afternoon sun.
    Imagine! daily (especially in sunny Singapore) one returns to a very warm Master bedroom! and even the bedroom 2 cannot escape the afternoon sun.
    Do seriously consider buying such homes even if the bedrooms suit "west group people". If we only use the Eight House to match our homes, than this is a very serious case of mismatch! Or the wrong application of Feng Shui!

  16. Dear Eleni,
    If you are D.I.Y. Feng Shui, then, it is best that you may have to (depending on your interest and absorption), take as little as a month or even 6 to 1 year to really understand some of the key principles.
    I understand, many of us, simply want to read a book on Feng Shui and apply the ideas immediately.
    However, it is not like "William Hung" of the American Idol fame, http://www.williamhung.org who thinks that every area can be "cultivated" or worked on for everyone.
    For example, several years back, this Doctor, sought to practice Feng Shui. Usually doctors are intelligent people.
    But this doctor thought that Feng Shui is just like reading books on the human anatomy. Where if the book precisely state the heart and it's vessels it is exactly what we see is what we get.
    Similiarly perhaps for the naive William Hung, he has intelligence and I believe, he thought that any thing can be "taught" to us. And we should have no problem achieving it. For example, he mentioned something like " I do not have any training" Simon Cowell replied -- "this is the surprise of the century".
    The doctor, read one book, and painted his doors and main gate in the colours based on e.g. North = water, South = fire etc... But later, oops, when he read more, perhaps, he had used the wrong colours etc...
    Therefore, if you are doing it D.I.Y. one may have to do much more homework. Otherwise, get others to do it for them.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

  17. Dear Samatha,
    Another alternative is the grille gate. Here, for example, if one has a stainless steel or aluminium gate, some of the panels can be flushed with "steel" or aluminium sheet.
    Such that for the steel sheet, it covers e.g. the knee level or sometimes we see aluminium gates that have a large area covered up.
    It is nice to have the steel sheet covering the gille gate surface as it is reflective. And this reflection is akin to a ba gua mirror.
    Warmest Regards,

    Hi Cecil,
    I guess you must have answered
    this question a thousand
    times. But just like to recap,
    we just purchased a 5 room
    flat, and our front door is
    facing a common staircase (
    both upwards and downwards can
    be seen from our main door) .
    We have heard people saying to
    use a foyer after the main
    door to block the Sha energy,
    others say to put a small fish
    tank or some potted plants ,
    or some say to built another
    door within the aisle in
    between the main door and the
    living room. We are confused.
    What is your recommendations ?
    Samantha.


  18. Dera Fiona,
    To be honest, one area to look at is Feng Shui.
    But equally important is many other factors especially that each of our character has been formed throughout our young age.
    This is why, most of the time, when we reach 18 or 21, we are allowed to sign a specific signature. As our character component is already comprise of what we are.
    Under Chinese horoscope, the only explanation is that the best match for a Rat partner is the dragon or monkey. Whilst the ram is not as a good match. The worst conflict is a horse with rat.
    Usually, the major part of Feng Shui is to allow for a good home environment conducive to family life. And from here, the spin-off is that a good family life is the building block or starting point.
    Wow! changing 4 homes is indeed often stressful for the couple. Perhaps, this is due to the postings to various parts of the country - for work etc...
    Where possible, it is always best to avoid the frequency of too many relocations.
    Overall, other than the above, sometimes, it is good to get an outsider e.g. counsellor to help the couple. (although, many times, Chinese often do not like this medium).
    This reminds me of the various earlier posting on this subject.
    Where, often a new couple, are like two persons thrown into a "jungle".
    Both have to adapt to the environment as well to themselves. This classic case that I always remember was that for example, the husband anyhow squeeze toothpaste. And the wife gets really agitated finding this despite her constant yaking over this issue. And often, such small issues often spark into larger issues.
    Sometimes, when married too long, if one can have a baby, it would be good. (If they have not have one already).
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Dear Master Cecil,
    My sister was born in rat year
    and her husband was in sheep
    year. They've been married
    for about 10 years and over
    the past 8 years, they've been
    quarrelling. Is this because
    of their incompatibility of
    animal sign. They've stayed
    in four houses before, is
    their hostile relationship
    relates to the house feng shui
    which they stayed. Will there
    be any cure to improve their
    relationship.
    TQ & Regards,

  19. Dear Nisha,
    Actually, the concern of a mirror facing the bed stems from the belief that when one sleeps, some Chinese belief that the spirit leaves the body.
    When doing so, it may get a "shock" to see itself in the mirror.
    This is why, often, numerous Feng Shui books or practitioners does not favour having a mirror facing the bed.
    However, in the past I had mentioned that more importantly, it has to do with "how sensitive" we are or are not.
    For example, contrary to the above belief, we could say that when we sleep, our spirit, leaves our body. And, because it wants to look nice, look into the mirror and combs his/her hair before, going off!
    2. Overall, we often hear that some people literally do not feel anything even if there are mirrors all round the bedroom. They can sleep comfortably.
    While others who are more sensitive feel uncomfortable with a mirror in the bedroom. (Most likely these are the people, who read too much Feng Shui books on do's and don'ts!)
    3. When television was invented, and nowadays, almost all bedrooms have tv sets. Some practitioners say that having a tv set facing the bed is inauspicious, since the tv set screen is like a mirror.
    4. But how often if ever do we read in the newspaper: "Mr X moved in to new apartment, placed a tv set in his bedroom and drop dead???"
    5. Many new tv sets even have non-reflective screens e.g. lcd monitors etc...
    6. Therefore, it all boils down to how sensitive are we?
    7. In your situation, if you do sleep comfortably, then, there is no issue even if the mirror is placed at the head of the bed or anywhere in the bedroom.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    According to my Gua number and

    However, I just read that it's
    not good for the mirror in a
    bedroom to face the bed and in
    this new position, my mirror
    is behind the head of my crown
    by 2 metres. I can't see my

  20. Dear Rich,
    It is prefered to go for yellow instead of black:
    1. What you had mentioned: fire destroys or melts metal.
    This is not exactly a "bad thing". Because, the destructive cycle can also be considered as a "wealth" cycle.
    Thus when fire melts metal, this is considered good because it is producing wealth.
    For example if we look at another element: Wood destroys earth. We can imagine, that a tree has roots and it's roots go into the earth to get nourishment.
    2. Why yellow?
    Yellow represents earth. When fire melts metal, metal is exhausted. And earth helps to nourish metal, producing more wealth.
    3. This concept is similar to a Chinese ancient coin with a square hole in the middle often (6 coins tied with red string) where:
    Circular or round coin = metal element
    Copper or bronze coin = metal element
    Red string (tie a bundle of coins) = fire element
    Here, fire is used to control metal element. Or fire melts gold to produce wealth. And after doing so, the square hole at the centre (representing earth) helps to strength the metal.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Dear Sir,
    I have a picture with red
    background and a Chinese word
    "Luck" written in gold color
    in the centre of the picture.
    I want to frame it up but not
    sure what color frame to use -
    black or yellow?
    Since the picture background
    is red (fire), it will melt
    the gold color (metal) which
    is the word. Fire kills metal.
    Should I use a black picture
    frame - which means water will
    extinguish the fire (red
    color), thus metal (the gold
    color word) will not be
    harmed. And the word "Luck"
    will be preserved.
    Or should I use a yellow
    frame? Fire (red) nurtures
    earth (yellow) which nourishes
    metal (gold). So instead of
    fire killing the metal, now I
    have fire nurturing earth
    (yellow) which nourishes metal
    (gold color).
    So should I use a black frame
    or yellow frame? Thank you.
    Rich


  21. Dear Cheng Teik,
    Even if heavy knocking was done prior to Feb 2004, do check the following:
    1. roof - is the roofing done on or after this period.
    2. main door? does the main door remain or will it be changed after Feb 2004.
    3. Is the main door or other fittings e.g. no window frame or window fitted especially at the frontage or the main door has not been fitted yet.
    4. Has the kitchen being fully renovated and stove placed in?
    If any of the above remain uncompleted, then, it is safe to say that one's home will going to be a Period 8 home.
    Even if a home is a Period 7 home, it can still `fly' to Period 8 (but not the other way around). Doing some of the activities mentioned earlier in the forum.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    14 February 2004
    With the dawning of Period 8 I
    become more and more worried
    about my new terrace house as
    to whether it is considered a
    Period 8 house or it remains
    to be a Period 7 house. I
    signed the Sales and Purchase
    Agreement on September 8,
    2001, and the house was
    completed on December 12,
    2002. I then left the house
    vacant until December 2, 2003,
    to start the necessary
    renovation on the front and
    back portion of the house. The
    heavy knocking and
    reconstructing the certain
    parts of the house was fully
    completed on January 30, 2004.
    Now I?m waiting for the
    interior designer to furnish
    the whole house and that is
    supposed to be completely done
    by April 2, 2004. I expect to
    move in around late April
    2004.
    All that time and that is from
    the date of December 17, 2002,
    that I took the keys to my new
    house till even now I have not
    occupied the house. A period
    of more than 1 year and 75
    days till today and I still
    cannot occupy the house until
    the interior designer has
    carried out what has to be
    done.
    Thus, I need to your advice on
    the exact period of my new
    house. I tried to make it into
    a Period 8 house and that is
    why I waited till December 2,
    2003, to start the renovations
    to it. And because of the 2004
    Chinese New Year the workers
    rush to complete the necessary
    works by January 30, 2004.
    They are not willing to drag
    it till after February 4,
    2004. My question remains to
    be whether my house is a
    Period 8 or 7 house. The more
    I tried to figure it out the
    more confused I become.
    Please let me have your kind
    advice.
    Thanks.
    Sincerely yours,
    Eddie Yeoh Cheng Teik


  22. Dear Sybil,
    More importantly is the main entrance door. This door should (MUST) open inwards.
    On the practical side, there is frankly no issue with front gate opening out. This is often because of the constraint of limited interior space to open inwards: as it `hit' a parked car.
    Here, also many auto-gate opening devices are fitted to swing outwards - as this is most practical solution as mentioned above.
    We can say: It is nice to have it open inwards - provided it is practical.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

  23. Dear Yak Heng,
    Frankly, it is better to go to a doctor or specialist for check-up rather than rely or depend on Ba Zi, in this case.

  24. Dear Annoja,
    In fact, in my opinion, it is best to leave it clear space given that the doors are close to the centrepoint or centre area of a home.
    This is to allow for air /qi to circulate within rooms.
    This is ok so long as one cannot see a direct path e.g. from the window area of a room, thru this two doors and to the back or another set of windows.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil
