myfs_94543 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I am a beginner in this field and have read up on a couple of writings since I developed this interest. But I have encountered several problems which I can't seem to make sense of. Especially now when I am renovating my place. It seems that I cannot find a suitable cure to fit me. Either it clashes with my Bazi, Kua Number, 8 mansion. There is always a system that forbids me to use a particular cure. For example activating a certain direction, or painting a room in a particular colour.I would like to ask which is the most appropriate system to use when it comes to home decor.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 10, 2005 Staff Share Posted January 10, 2005 Dear Tristan,In my opinion, the best way is to understand in-terms of "harmony with the environment".Or use Feng Shui on this primary basis, first.For example, we have our own birth-date and thus "birth-chart". The home or apartment also has it's own birth-chart."It is said that we human beings must try to harmonize ourselves to our environment but not the other way around".Here, we must first "take care" of any imbalances in our environment. Thus under Feng Shui, we have two major schools: Shapes and Forms and Flying Star Feng Shui.Shapes and Forms Feng Shui would suggest that our house or block is on solid foundation. If we are at a hill, we have to make sure that the foundation - continues to be stable. And not just being stable at the point where we move-in. But, to be continously stable. A simple cutting down of trees or soil erosion can easily make a safe home, unsafe!For the interior of the home, we should first consider the "birth-chart" of the home e.g. using Flying star Feng Shui.For example, if under Ba Zi, a person is a weak metal person. And his or her best element is EARTH element (yellow, cream or beige). But because unfortunately, the bedroom has some nasty stars like #5 and or #2 and or #9 in combination, it would not be wise to enhance the bedroom with one's ba zi best elements. Here, it is a simple rule: " We must harmonise with our environment and not the other way around. " We cannot simply impose our "elements" onto the environment.If we apply this concept, I believe, one can easily understand or have a firm foundation ofthe degrees of either:MUST or BEST be doneNICE to Have (Usually, it is nice to be able to match the home colours ot our Ba Zi or that this room is favourable to us under our Eight house chart etc..)Thus, sometimes it can be truly UNFORTUNATE if we stay in a "wrong" home where what would seemed NICE TO HAVEsometimes, we are unable to introduce such nice-to-have as it does not fit our environment i.e. the home.Some of us may be more fortunate because not only are we able to enjoy our MUST haves but we can equally apply our NICE-TO-HAVE's in our home. Not all can do this. This could perhaps explain that thisisanother reason why some people are RICHER while others are poorer.Often, the rich gets richer because, money does buy good Feng Shui! Or usually, with or without Feng Shui, try buying a home: Naturally, a person perhaps paying 2million dollars for a home will certainly get better Feng Shui because most of the time the frontage or other external shapes and forms may be better than say one who purchases a home that costs only 1/2 a million dollars. (This is a simple anaolgy - it could be the other way around if good Feng Shui is applied!).Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 1/9/2005 6:44:57 PM, Anonymous wrote:I am a beginner in this fieldand have read up on a coupleof writings since I developedthis interest.

myfs_109248 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 From what I read, there are two methods1. The Eight Houses Theory (static) 2. The Flying School Theory (corelated with time, dynamic). The second one seems to take precedence over the first, since it's an extension and more complex, more accurate This article might help: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/fst/fst-8h-intro.htm You have to set your priorities and make your choices. In fact, all in life is about choices Best wishes Doris - a Feng Shui reader Quote On 1/9/2005 6:44:57 PM, Anonymous wrote:I am a beginner in this fieldand have read up on a coupleof writings since I developedthis interest.
