[5.] Chinese Altar: Auspicious Chinese Altar Dimensions
Cecil Lee replied to myfs_159686's topic in General Help

Hi [name hidden] I am Robert, Cecil's brother from Geomancy.Net. I am following up on your WhatsApp message to Cecil, as I specialize in and focus on Ba Zi, Auspicious Dates, Baby Naming, while Cecil focus on Feng Shui review. 1. To answer your initial question about why November 5, 1995, at 1:44 AM is considered a Strong Metal and why this differs from other sources: Your Ba Zi chart, as detailed in our free report, is as follows: URL: https://online.geomancy.net/public/code/html-fs-self-free.php?pay=0&tpl=chart_true_element&username=Brian&gender=1&day=5&month=11&year=1995&hour=2 The total favorable elements that contribute to your strength—Metal, Earth, and Water—account for 77.5%, which is significantly greater than the total unfavorable elements—Fire, Wood, and a portion of Water—at 30.0%. This balance classifies you as a Strong Metal. Your strong Metal attribute is partially influenced by the seasonal strength of Earth and Metal, which are in their Strongest/Strong states. Notably, 50% of your strength derives from the Earth element (50%), making it a significant contributor to your overall classification. 2. Others may consider your elements as weak because, in most cases, their Ba Zi calculations likely did not include the two additional factors: the House of Life and the House of Conception. Additionally, they may have overlooked the combinations or joins that often form new elements and reduce the influence of the original elements. Without thoroughly accounting for these details, it is easy to miscalculate and misunderstand the true strength of your elements. Without getting this weak/strong element correct, it makes assessing how to balance your five ba zi chart inaccurate. 3. To answer your question regarding the difference between "favorable elements" and "favorable wealth elements": 3.1. Regardless of whether you are categorized as a weak or strong self-element, there is one element universally considered your wealth element. This is the element that your self-element is capable of "destroying". Since you are a Metal element person, Wood is your wealth element, as Metal "destroys" Wood in Ba Zi theory. 3.2. However, whether this wealth element is favorable or unfavorable depends on whether you are a weak or strong individual in your self-element. 3.2.1. For a weak Metal person, Wood is considered an unfavorable wealth element because the person lacks the strength to control or manage the wealth and may struggle to benefit from it. 3.2.2. For a strong Metal person, Wood is considered a favorable wealth element because they are strong enough to manage and "control" wealth effectively. Thus, a strong self-element person, like yourself, will typically have three favorable elements by default, while a weak self-element person will usually only have two favorable elements. 3.3. The key distinction between a general favorable element and a favorable wealth element is that the wealth element is often tied more closely to career paths or opportunities that can generate material wealth. However, all three favorable elements benefit you overall. When assessing which elements to prioritize, focus on those you lack the most. The ultimate goal is to strive for a balanced Ba Zi chart, aiming for around 20% of each element. By addressing imbalances and strengthening weaker elements, you can better align your Ba Zi chart and improve your overall luck. A more balanced Ba Zi chart generally corresponds to better, more stable fortune and opportunities in life. 4. To answer your question about whether one job can have multiple interpretation elements? 4.1. Ultimately, whether a job can have multiple interpretation elements depends on how you define and approach the job. Typically, there are two main components to consider: the job or business *industry element* and the job or business *scope element*. 4.2. For example, activities like trading forex or cryptocurrencies are often associated with the Metal element since they generally belong to the finance industry. However, trading forex or buying and selling stocks and shares can also involve processes like buying and selling, which are considered Fire element activities. This is especially relevant if you work as a stockbroker, where buying and selling on behalf of clients is a key aspect of the role. In this case, a stockbroker's job scope would involve Fire elements (buying and selling) but still fall within a Metal element industry (finance). 4.3. Therefore, how you interpret a job's elements depends on its specific nature and definition. Nowadays, many job scopes require a diverse skill set, so they may involve two or even three elements depending on the tasks involved. However, we often aim to focus on identifying one or two primary elements to avoid overcomplicating the process of determining whether a particular job scope or industry suits a specific classification. 5. Hope that answers your question. Please note that our WhatsApp is not a general public helpdesk; it is primarily reserved for clients. If you have any additional questions, please post them on our public forum instead. URL: https://www.geomancy.net/forums/ The only reason we are providing this one-time reply is to clarify your primary question about why our Ba Zi analysis determined you to be a Strong Metal rather than a Weak Metal, which I hope I have adequately addressed in my response above. Additionally, this will free up Cecil's time to focus on his Feng Shui reviews. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi Cecil, I just finished reno and I checked the stove height and sink height I think the carpenter didn’t keep to my required measurement! Now my stove is 33.5 inch and my sink is 35 inch? Any concern? I can’t imagine tearing away the kitchen top and redo. So upset Fortunately so long as between 33” to 35” is fine or okay. No need to stress out.

An In-depth understanding of the Frontage of a home. Is it always the main door? Who are the Conservatives & the Modernist. What lead to the Conservatives use of the Main Door only? 1. Who are the Conservatives and the Modernists? 2. An in-depth understanding of why the Conservatives has misunderstood the knowledge passed down by the ancients. https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/16637-an-in-depth-understanding-of-the-frontage-of-a-home-is-it-always-the-main-door-who-are-the-conservatives-the-modernist-what-lead-to-the-conservatives-use-of-the-main-door-only/ For High Rise Compass Reading should be taken from the living room looking out of it. For eg. towards the living room windows or its balcony (if applicable) If one encounters a Conservative Feng Shui Master (FSMs)who is mainly concerned with the front door; then to these who only, “Eat, sleep & repeat”. They might consider it a taboo to have the above situation. As their life’s revolves at the front door.

Do you know why we open for business during Chinese New Year only on even lunar days? 1. For example, we always start work or open for business on 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th or 12th lunar new year? 2. One way of looking at it is the concept of double happiness or "a pair" vs ONE (1) = odd. (Not exactly odd-ball.. but considered as unbalanced). 3. Another way of looking at it is that Chinese burial or nowadays funerals (cremation) are always on an odd day. 3.1. Thus if the deceased died on yesterday (a Monday). 3.2. The funeral is suppose to be on the following Wednesday, Friday, Sunday or Monday, Wednesday and continues to be on Friday or Sunday again. 3.3. Odd days represents Yang. Thus the Yin (dead) is suppose to be buried on their "Yang" day. A belief in the balance of Yin and Yang concept.

BEWARE OF THIS AGE-OLD FENG SHUI SCAM No wonder Feng Shui suffers a bad reputation, today. Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store. Their core business is not authentic Feng Shui. But rather making big bucks by selling lots of useless commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. Please give me a good reason not to buy such products. Here's one: Okay, the above was written prior to the knowledge of COV-19. Here’s to another reason, why. Many Feng Shui Masters and their shops are FAKES! On Saturday, 14 March 2020, a WhatsApp from a past client P.S. Frankly, I was just being extremely polite. Actually if one got the hint, as the British always say just throw the "bloody" thing away!
