Dear Greg,

Certainly glad to hear from you again.

1. My advise is to `stick' to three most popular Feng Shui methods:

1.1 Shapes and Form

If there is one theory which should be given priority, this is it.

In my opinon, if one wants to do minimal Feng Shui and yet yield a quantum leap in `luck' this is the most important single Feng Shui theory to use.

1.2 Flying Star

If we are talking about a Feng Shui practitioner and their audits, some FS practitioners with a feel for the `land' can do without this theory.

But for those, who do not have a `feel' of Shapes and Form can use this to analyse a building or houses. As the calculations are "visible" to them.

1.3 Eight House

One can either use this to look at how suitable a house is to them (based on their Year of birth).

A better subsitute is to use their Pillars of Destiny element and strength. For example, if they are a weak water person, a house with the main door facing North is acceptable.

As a North facing house represents the water element. Or a metal house e.g. West facing is good for them. As Metal helps water grow.

2 The use of bagua in the home is the near equivalent of kindergarten Feng Shui.

3 If the book merely say to use a bagua, this can be quite shallow analysis. We should then question: Why use a bagua? At which location? for what purpose?

If, the above is not answered satisfactory, then those who wrote it, in my opinion should be equally `hazzy' or `blur' in how it should be applied.

4 The Grand Duke:

Usually, this is applied during renovations to a home. Or roadworks diagonal to the Grand Duke.

If you are not doing renovations or there are no diggings around the home, then, in general `ignore it'.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
