Dear Anon,

1. As all of us is aware, there are lots of practititioners and their skill level and methods used.

2. As you have not mentioned whether the practititioners used the following theories:

a. Shapes and Form School

To access both the interior and exterior of the home.

b. Flying Star Chart

This is to analyse the birth chart of the house and check for imbalances and Qi enhancements (e.g. activating mountain or water stars).

c. Relate the above to the Eight House
(Suitablity of the house and the influence of bedroom)

d. Pillars of Destiny
To obtain the true element and strength and to check the season of influence.

3. Not all FS audits under Para a, b, c and d are done the same and it depends on the quality of the practitioner.

4. Some practitioners do only Para c. Eight House and add a touch of religious aspect. Some only perform Para b, Flying Star and does not relate it to other methods.

Furthermore, not all Pillars of Destiny analysis are created equal. Many simply do a simplistic chart of taking into account only the Year, Month of birth.

While others take into account the Year, Month, Day and Time but use the method of convenience e.g. the Xia Li (or Hsia) method which is not accurate should there be an intercalary month or a second month in the year of birth and it also happens to fall on one's birthday. Lots more like additional Pillars of Life and Conception are not taken into account.

One practitioner's view or analysis of Shapes and Form may not be the same.

As mentioned by you some FS schools have a `habit' of burying `lucky' treasures all over the house. (In my opinion, I am not sure this practise will work. It will cost money thou.)

Many of my viewpoints are stated in various messages on this forum:

a. I believe ut is more effective in using all the various theories that work for most people, use them as a cross-reference or for a `bigger' picture i.e. Shapes & Form, Flying Star, Eight House & Pillars of Destiny etc...

b. Discard theories that do not work for most people or too general e.g. Eigh Associations Eight/Life aspirations, burying of objects (avoid fixed templates)...

c. Minimal use of the Ba Gua mirror.

I believe the above points are echoed many times in this forum.

5. Usually, if there is no improvement, one good starting point is to :

- Check the surroundings of the house using the Shapes and Form

- Use the Flying Star to check for imbalances e.g. sickness and misfortune cure and other imbalances and try to cure them first.

Usually, this is the major area of consideration especially if one is constantly sick.

Many people think that enhancements are more important but the fact is that imbalances need to be cured first. Rather than put the cart before the horse by doing enhancements. Get the house in order.

- Check the degree of suitability of you to your house e.g if the front door is one of your inauspcious sectors, especially death or disaster area, no matter how `lucky' the house is your life is going to be `average' in such a house.

So one must not `kid' ourselves that one can get instant wealth by doing everything correct under Shapes and Form and Flying Star theory.

Finally not all FS practitioners are created equal. Be wary of those who call themselves `Master'. I believe this title is earned ie. by people recognising them as such rather than placing a title to their name such as "King" of Feng Shui etc... Do check out their background.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
