SW facing apartment

[myfs_75813]

Dear Cecil/Robert,
My house is SW facing so I think my main door is an Earth door according to the colours theory I read in geomancy.net. However, my gate is brown in colour with 5 sunflowers. Is this considered a "wood" gate? If so, its no good 'cuz wood destroys earth, right? Can I correct this with a 5 rod metal wind chime? Or how can I correct this to enhance the earth element in my gate?
Regards,
Wendy.

Dear Wendy,
1. In my opinion, it is too general to say that since the door is at SW, we should paint it according to the colour.
2. In THEORY or technically speaking, you can do that.
3. But the question here is what do one try to achieve?
4. In many questions asked, Thank God!, that nowadays, many users no longer ask me this one line question like:
Where is my wealth sector?
Which I do not reply to at all.
5. This is very relevant to the above question. If we use the Five Elements concept to explain wealth.
6. Under the Five Elements concept, wealth is created using the Destructive Cycle:-
Reference:
http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm
Where under the destructive sequence, Earth (SW) should use Water instead to produce wealth.
CAUTION: This is a general statement and one should not read this and quickly go out and buy a can of blue paint. It has to be related to one's Ba Zi eg. one's personal element and strength also and the surrounding! I
7. Another example is that since Singapore is generally located in the South of Singapore; and since south is represented by the Fire element, if we cannot find a colour or not sure which colour to paint; we should instead paint our main door White.
Why use the colour " White ". The rationale is because, if we look at the destructive sequence;
White = Metal element.
8. To produce WEALTH, a South (Fire) element can take advantage of METAL. Where Fire is used to destroy METAL to create wealth.
9. In my opinon, it is more important for the colour of the entire door, first. The gate is secondary.
10. For your question on a 5 rod, metal wind chime, please refer to (today's message: under this same conference: Free Advice (General Topics) - my reply to "The use of Wood chime.
11. I know that everyone wants to enhance themselves but the caution is " a too little knowlege is a dangerous thing! ".

Or how can I
correct this to enhance the
earth element in my gate?

Authentic Feng Shui, takes much effort, and involves looking at Ba Zi, Compass Schools and a whole lot of analysis.
Let's not play with Fast Food Feng shui.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
