FS versus 'superstition'

[Kieron]

Dear Cecil and Robert,
Congratulations on the improved website! It looks great.
I realize that my question may possibly be objectionable to some people, but let me assure you I mean no offense. I was curious about the "fine line" between FS and superstition. The reason I ask is b/c some Chinese-born friends dismiss certain FS cures or calculations as "Chinese superstition!" For example, they consider Grand Duke to be superstition, but agree that FS in general is good. Personally, I believe anything can be taken too far or too seriously. Please comment.
Sincerely,
--Joe

Dear Joe,
Thank you for sharing this information. Yes, I totally agree that the Tai Su
or Grand Duke is not Feng Shui but rather based on Chinese culture. You can
roughly place it as a Chinese superstition. It is a grey area in terms of
classifying the Grand Duke.
In my opinion, I think it should be classified as a `strong' Chinese belief.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Joe,
I would also like to add to this topic.
The reason it was considered in the Flying Star, is due to Astrological
reasoning that Grand Duke or Tai Sui is the largest star in which is thus
supposed to have some magnetic influence over the rest.
This means that it would disturb the existing magnetic influence of the
sector which the Grand Duke is in. Personally, I do not see how it can
really affect someone if a person offend it because of the great distance
between the stars. However, as many events in the past seems to support that
offending such a star has great disasters, the Chinese normally will choose
to believe rather then throw it away.
However, there are not many discussion in depth on this so, it is pretty
hard to say which. But these are the only logical explanation for it.
Warmest Regards
Robert Lee
