20 year periods

[myfs_98354]

I really have no idea which 20-year period to use for my house. It was built in 1955. During the 64-84 period the owners built two new rooms onto it and then covered over the space between them in a rather flimsy manner and called it a bonus room. In 2000, we took down the bonus room and made it a patio. So during the last period we did not alter the house by more than one third. In one discussion I read at this site, iti was stated that sometimes a practitioner simply used the current period. How on earth do I know what to do?

Dear Regina,
1. Practising or appling Feng Shui (Flying Star) is both an art as well as a science.
2. The underling issue now is today, many of us have the opportunity to apply "new" tools since, such information is so easily available to all of us. For eg. tools, reports and the web - as made forums - available.
3. However, like every other knowledge base, there are always certain universal methods that we can apply:-
4. For example, many people, have come to trust the accuracy of the Science of Feng Shui. These has fixed rules and information - knowledge base.
5. The ART OF FENG SHUI
5.1 Like any other investigations, a concerned Feng Shui practitoner, would:
5.2 If the owners have been staying in a home for 3 or more years
5.3 Often, the practitioner would try to draw several Flying Star Charts e.g.
Drawing a Period 6, Period 7 chart.
5.4 And try to investigate or figure out which chart is more accurate, based on information derived from the owners.

simply used the current
period.
Frankly, nowadays, many practitoners have no time or perhaps other reasons for simply out of convenience in using the current period chart. This is the easiest way out since, they (PERHAPS) do not have to do more homework.

Or, they feel that they can simply "fine tune" the home based on the current chart - "will do" attitude.
For whatever reason; if one is more knowledgeable, insist or check with the practitioner, whether, he/she can help to check out the chart that best meets the home/office current Feng Shui influence, first before hiring, the practitioner.
Else, one may (if one is truly interested) slowly, understand and if - possible, plot out the different period chart(s).
This is then truly, the merging of the ART and SCIENCE of Feng Shui.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hello Mr Lee
I hv always wonder what career category would Feng Shui be in? Thank you.

Dear Rosni,
1. In my opinion, more accurately, if we look at the word Feng Shui carefully, it belongs to a wider term known as Geomancy.
2. For example, in Singapore and Malaysia, many business related to Feng Shui do not call their business: ABC Feng Shui etc...
3. But rather, at this moment, nearly every "Feng Shui" business has a "GEOMANCY" added somewhere in their name.
4. This is because, the whole business of Geomancy is to support a demand from what is known as "cradle to the grave".
For example, for the Chinese;
YANG FENG SHUI:-
===============
1. once a new child is born, many parents or grand parents go to a geomancer to select a favourable name for the child.
2. services like: auspicious dates for marriage etc.. face reading, hand reading, Chinese astrology
3. Home feng shui comes in when one starts a family or simply owns a home.
YIN FENG SHUI:-
==============
4. Because of scarcity of land, nowadays, loved ones are cremated. In the past, Geomancers are also involved in selection of burial sites etc....
Look at it as "job satisfaction" but more importantly, unlike the multi-million Feng Shui business of today, in the past, a Geomancer has to live off every type of job to suppliment his / her income.
5. In general, I would say that Geomancers should be classified as under the "wood" element.
As wood element suggests: growth, discovery. And like plants, are like catalyst for growth.
Geomancers who provide training or courses are also closely resembling wood element. (Since training belows to this category.)
6. As mentioned above, Feng Shui can be considered as one of the elements of Geomancy. Since Feng Shui is associated with the earth element i.e. Feng Shui is about Earth luck,then, broadly, we can consider it as closer to the Earth element.
7. However, as mentioned above, a Feng Shui practitioner who spends more time e.g. during research and training, should be considered as a wood element i.e. catalyst of growth.
8. For example, replying messages on anything under the sky in relation to Chinese divinity methods and constant research - Geomancy.net can thus be seen as a Wood element.
9. Geomancy.net does not sell or want to sell any products.
10. But if one often go to a Feng Shui website that sells products e.g. Feng Shui emporiums or some FS practitioners who "moonlight" selling FS productions could be considered more inclined towards the "Earth element". Since they may sell anything under the sun - in the name of "Feng Shui. And many of these products are from the earth.
11. Overall, frankly, there is never a right or wrong answer. Since, nowadays, we are in the "multi-tasking" age.
12. In the past, the butcher is strictly a butcher. A merchant is strictly a merchant. But nowadays, a butcher could also be using a computer etc.. So does a Geomancer.
So long as one put forth a reasonable - justification to substantiate one's view points, this implies maturity of thought. Again, the answer cannot be YES or NO. But rather YES / NO / IT DEPENDS!
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
