Need a 2nd opinion ??

[myfs_32567]

Dear Cecil,
Last week, my mom-in-law got a FS master to view my 5-room flat which I have already stayed in for about 21 months.
1) The FS master mentioned that my house main facing is south-west because my living room window facing that direction. But from your web, I understanding that the house facing should depend on the Main Door direction which is in compass direction south east. I am confused. Please advise.
2) The FS master did not asked for my husband and my birth date & time when reviewing our flat's FS. Shouldn't it be taken into consideration when FS is concerned for the flat and the people staying in ??
3) With a number of doubts, I don't feel very confident about the FS master. What should I do ?? Do you think I should get a second opinion ??
Thanks !!

1. It is essential to thoroughly examine the potential risks associated with determining whether the main entrance is located in the South-West or South-East direction.  

2. In this context, it is advisable to adhere strictly to a comprehensive methodology. For instance, the guidelines available at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm provide a complete set of instructions that can help classify a house as being in the South-East.  

3. Numerous alternative methods exist for this purpose. Typically, when utilizing a Luopan, it is employed to assess both the sitting and facing directions of a property.  

4. The approach to identifying the center point may vary significantly based on the practitioner's level of expertise. If the center point is determined differently by various practitioners, and if the method for locating the main entrance relies on this point, then the classification of the main door as either South-West or South-East could vary considerably.  

5. Additionally, some practitioners may interpret the South-West or South-East as indicative of the 'back door direction,' a concept commonly referenced in the Eight House Theory, which categorizes four favorable and four unfavorable directions.  

6. Consequently, it is advisable to follow the detailed instructions provided on the website rather than attempting to derive a conclusion independently, such as determining whether the main door is South-West or South-East.

7. You raise a valid point. Typically, it is only those who strictly adhere to the practice of Feng Shui without incorporating Compass School methods, relying solely on Shapes and Forms, who follow this approach.

8. Alternatively, some may base their practices solely on intuition. In my view, when engaging a professional Feng Shui practitioner, it is essential that they at least consider your year of birth alongside the year of birth of the house. However, this represents merely the minimum standard, and I believe it falls short of what is expected from a competent practitioner.

9. Unless they possess exceptional expertise in Shapes and Forms, their qualifications may still be questionable. I am aware that certain Feng Shui practitioners in Singapore limit their practice to fundamental concepts, such as the Eight House Theory, while integrating it with Shapes and Forms.

10. Given the increasing demand for comprehensive Feng Shui assessments, it is advisable to employ a broader range of tools, with the Flying Star chart and an evaluation of elemental strength being particularly crucial.

don't feel very confident
about the FS master. What
should I do ?? Do you think I
should get a second opinion ??

In summary, seeking a second opinion is advisable primarily in situations involving health concerns or recurring issues, while for matters related to luck, it may not be justifiable if significant improvement is unlikely. Therefore, individuals should carefully assess the necessity and potential benefits of obtaining a second opinion based on their specific circumstances.

Warmest Regards,
