Moving House and Directions

[hogshu]

Dear Cecil
I understand that one has good and bad houses based on their personal element.
My questions is
1. What guidelines does one use to pick a good time to shift house and
2. Is the direction one shift house important.
e.g. If I currently live in the north of my city and shift to the south or east or wherever, how do I know which direction will be the best for me. I believe under 9 star ki this is very important.
Is it the main breadwinner whose details must be the priority or all house members.
Many thanks
Jojo

Dear Jojo,
Thanks for your question. For those who are now sure what 9-Star Ki is, let me elaborate further
1. 9-Star Ki and Personal Flying Star Feng Shui is basically one and the same.
2. 9-Star Ki is widely practised in Japan. This is where the Japanese must have learned the Flying Star Feng Shui and applied it in a holistic way in their country.
The next popular destination is UK and US where this is equally practised in both countries.
Essentially both are one and the same.
3. 9-Star Ki uses the Luo Shu grid of 9 squares. It is also incorporated into `personal' Feng Shui.
For a change, those who are keen to learn 9-Star Ki can get books e.g.
Author
======
Jon Sandifer (I hope I spelt his name correctly)
Simon Brown
In my opinion, Jon Sandifer's books are a considered quite old but do give an essence of the holistic approach to 9-Star Ki.
Simon Brown's books are modern i.e. have easy to understand graphics and well organised.
There are many more authors on 9-Star Ki and their followers. I believe, many of the members of the Feng Shui Society in UK have members practising 9-Star Ki.
As I mentioned, 9-Star Ki in my opinion can be broadly classified under " Personal Flying Star Theory ". Although it can still be used at looking at houses.
Matching 9-Star Ki/Flying Star Theory is the Ba Zhi Feng Shui which Robert is currently putting into this website.
A famous Feng Shui Master mentioned that it is advisable to practice Flying Star or Ba Zhi Feng Shui but not both because it gets complicated if one is doing it manually to interlink and provide cross references.
However, with our current research and highly integrated computerised tools, we will be able to interlink both for great effectiveness. Both tools: Flying Star and Ba Zhi Feng Shui when put together will offer exciting possibilities.
By the way, one can generally say that Ba Zhi Feng Shui is a higher but of equal status with Flying Star Theory. Ba Zhi Feng Shui can be considered a higher form of Eight House Theory.
4. Sorry to side track the issue. There are several methods of looking at auspicious dates by the Chinese.
Currently, at this website, it is based on the five elements concept to deduce the auspicious and inauspicious dates. In computer language, this is akin to running assembly language or machine language which is considered the closest you can get to the `machine' itself.
5. More simplistic methods includes using the Luo Pan to deduce e.g. the best direction to avoid for travelling at a specific time.
Derek Walters in his richly illustrated book " Feng Shui " had worked out a western compass and also teach simple reading method on the use of a western compass.
By the way, if anyone is keen to learn proper Feng Shui using the five elements concept, one should get hold of his "classic" Feng Shui Handbook. I believe this is available at amazon.com or barnesandnobles.com
Although his book is written sometime back, it is in my opinion a class in itself especially for an English title.
6. One way of checking out auspicious dates is to use the Luo pan as shown in Derek Walter's " Feng Shui " book. Or you can check out the Auspicious / Inauspicious program on this site.
7. Usually, it should apply more for an individual than the breadwinner. For example, if the person who is travelling should be the one `looked' at than say the breadwinner.
Warmest Regards
Cecil

Thanks for the reply.
If the entire family are moving house, is the new house based on the best direction for the breadwinner ?
And then one must pick an auspicious day to move (the breadwinners auspicious date, yes or no ?)
Under 9 star ki if you say move to a house 2 kilometres away for example and the direction is not good, trouble will strike for all the time you live there.
All very confusing.
Thanks

Dear Jojo,
If you want to practise 9 Star Ki, it is adviseable not to practise Feng Shui because it has its own `ruleset' and some of the key essence is the same but however, there are still some differences and if one does not know sure of the actual differences, one may end up creating problems for themselves.
Basically for Feng Shui is the time for the breadwinner to enter the house is important.
As for the direction, which you mentioned, in practical reality, when you travel say on the road, it is most likely that one may turn into an inauspicious direction. Therefore, this rule is not an important rule to take into account in our modern society.
Lets look at it this way, we cannot simply travel in a straight line to where ever we want to go. Therefore, although there is logic behind this reasoning, it is no longer practical in our time.
The direction of travel is more important for those e.g. taking a flight from one city or country to another. Here, this is a more important point. For example, if it is determined that it is inauspicious for one to travel say from East to West. Here, one should best avoid it.
If you understand, 9-Star Ki better, it is best that you stick to the 9-Star Ki advise. However, you believe in the traditional Feng Shui method, stick with just taking into account the time of moving into a house.
This is soley up to you.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Is the Sales Brochure Useful?

Introduction: For brand new just launched developments, there is no physical site to visit the completed buildings and apartments. 

1. The only thing we can do is to visit the show room (which often is close-by to the site) as well as obtain a sales brochure and see the mock-up of the development. As well as try to ask questions from the sales agent (if any).

1.1. We must still try to gather as much information as we can.

2. Summary of Case Studies in this article.

If the information is overwhelming. Pick and choose selective articles...

1A & B: Common Rubbish Bin
2A & B: Interior unit Dry Walls
3: Fire at Heaven's Gate
4: Sha Qi or Poison Arrows from Club-house roof-lines
5: 3 Panel Sliding Doors at the Balcony
6: Drainage at the Balcony
7: Air-con Ledges
8: Mixed Developments + Cooling Towers
9: Termite infestations
10: Coffee-shop below or near to unit
11: Water tank at roof-top
12: Lamp Posts, Pillars, Tree Trunks
13: Spice Garden in an EC/condo
14: EC/condo Clubhouse
15A & B: Pneumatic Waste Collection System
16: Look closely at the development's scale model for clues
17: Buying a Mixed development apartment
18: Survey or study facilities surrounding the development
19: Pump Room below a unit
20: Seven Commandments of Stove Placement
21: Is there a potential poison arrow from the neighbours?
22: Should I be concerned with a near-by temple, church, mosque &/or elder care?
23: Is the compass marking on the Sales Brochure accurate?
24: Sites reserved for Schools?
25: Doors face each other? [Main Door/Bedrooms]
26: Unit numbers with 4, 44 or 444 Okay?
27: Stove or sink or WC at the Centre of the house?

3. It is always an excellent idea to spent some time to scrutinise a prospective sales brochure of our potential buy (purchase).

4. Recently, more and more clients have discovered to their shock (horror) that the least expected was the location of the central rubbish bin outside their unit.

5. A year ago; many had purchased a premium unit within the development .. and later shocked to learn that the central rubbish chute (for their entire floor) is just next to their main door!

6. Thus the morale of the story is to check first before signing on the dotted line.

7. In general, most developments have these:-

8.1. A central rubbish collection centre / rubbish bin collection point

8.2. Power Sub-station. Every development usually has one or more of these depending on the size of the development.

8.3. Design of club-house roof-lines / trellis / gazebo / pavilion. Are the designs a "threat" e.g. with spikes or like a razor's edge? Usually these are aimed towards lower storeys.

8.4. Any poison arrows in the form of a sharp corner of another block of neighbouring stack aimed towards one's balcony (hard to cure) or towards one's windows (if any)

8.5. Location of areas like BBQ pits and any impact e.g. the smell from these pits towards a unit.. especially low storeys such as #01  or #02 first or second storeys

8.6. Any tree trunk aimed towards a lower unit e.g. #01 or #02. Unfortunately it may be too late; especially if the development is under construction.

9. There are lots more considerations...  

9.1. Do remember "Read in-between" the lines..

BEWARE OF THIS AGE-OLD FENG SHUI SCAM

Be warned that certain Feng Shui practitioners in Singapore may misrepresent themselves by operating under the guise of a Feng Shui Store. Potentially exploiting clients through deceptive practices. It emphasizes the importance of vigilance when seeking Feng Shui services to avoid falling victim to such scams.

 

 

BEWARE OF THIS AGE-OLD FENG SHUI SCAM

No wonder, Feng Shui suffers from a bad reputation, today

Purchasing products from Feng Shui stores that prioritize profit over authenticity may lead to wasted resources on items that do not genuinely enhance one's environment or well-being.

It is advisable to seek out true Feng Shui practices and guidance rather than succumbing to commercialized offerings that lack real value.

The text highlights the prevalence of fraudulent Feng Shui practitioners, emphasizing the need for discernment in choosing genuine experts, particularly in light of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This serves as a reminder to critically evaluate the authenticity of services in the wellness and spiritual sectors.

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!

ASK! MUST I BUY FROM YOU?

 

When the buying Stops! The selling Can!

 

Yes! Ask: "Must I buy from YOU?"

Units categorized as Good, Bad, and Ugly.

1. Keep in mind that while a geomancer may deem this development favorable, the quality of a unit also relies on its specific location within the development.

 

2. Is your potential unit under the Good, the Bad or the Ugly?

3. Consider this scenario: the unit resembles a dilapidated 1,000 cc car that has seen better days. Not even a skilled Feng Shui Master could transform it into a desirable unit!

3.1. By the way, (above) this falls under Habit Number 11.

4. Under Habit 1, one possibility is by ranking one's bedroom type by stack/unit: 1st choice, 2nd choice etc... 

4.1. Reference: Habit 1 can be found under this link:-
