Dear SL,

Thank you for bringing up very interesting questions.

Frankly, I can only provide my opinion and as many of us are aware; one can get many (many) different replies to your question.

Or even.. it can turn out to be highly emotional or over-charged if this question is posed to forums.

Therefore, I hope that for those reading this; ultimately; you have to make your own value judgements.

As I can see it; overall; Feng Shui should be seen at a macro level.

This is where a city has been Feng Shuied and it should apply to macro Feng Shui at the largest sense.

Here, generally, those living within this `city' or many within this city can accumulate wealth. This is where, there is some sort of a Dragon Qi flowing from the interior of the city towards e.g. sea. Usually, along the bank of a river.

For example: River Thames..... in England...

Although Feng Shui can be applied at a micro level; this is less effective for MOST people.

Example of Excellent houses:

One where it can siphoned off wealth from neighbouring homes. E.g. a house in the lowest trout of e.g. a Horse shoe shaped housing developmentj.

When we talk of `Feng Shui' luck we also `talk' about:

1. Accidents / Misfortune - death
2. Sickness

We can be affected by bad Feng Shui and it could result in accidents / misfortune or constant sickness.

There are instances of some houses where human beings cannot live in. And to live in such house(s) may result in death.

In other situations: if one chopped off the `head' of the house (where the profile of the house looks like it has a head and body): Usually if one chops off the head of the house to rebuilt it e.g. two storey high.. the head of the house becomes too heavy.

This may result in the death of the breadwinner.

A house with two houses on each side of it and where these two houses (form something like a U shaped) can mean death to both the breadwinner and his/her spouse.

Bad Feng Shui can result in accidents or sudden death or sickness.

Houses where there is underground courses below e.g. the bedroom area may result in Cancer to the family member living just below this room.

Yes Feng Shui should be looked at in a holistic way and as far as possible: the home and office should be Feng Shuied.

When you mentioned "patt chee " for those who are not aware; it should be also known as Ba Zi or Pillars of Destiny.

Some Chinese companies or especially businessmen choose their partners `wisely' and they do look at their Ba Zi and the Ba Zi of their potential partners or even managers. Those they consider not auspicious or in harmony with their Ba Zi is not likely to be hired.

Frankly Ba Zi (Map of one's Heaven's Luck) and Feng Shui can be utilised by many. Not necessarily by selected few.

Here, if one is only considering `material' wealth then Feng Shui may not be the ideal choice to follow.

This is because as I mentioned earlier: Feng Shui is to look at one's earth luck and the harmony of the home with the earth.

Here, Feng Shui can be used effectively to help prevent: accidents / calamity or misfortune and minimise sickness.

Many of us feel that Feng Shui MUST be equal to $$$$ (WEALTH). Here, wealth can mean different things. I can live (barely) without savings but have a good family e.g. good wife / children .... So does this not mean WEALTH?

Wealth can be subjective and wealth can mean a good wholesome familiy life (perhaps lacking in money).

Many of us think that Feng Shui can immediately bring us out of Finacial problems.

Another thing Feng Shui can help is to `help us to' be healthy; have a good rest and if we have good positive atitude; we are on a good footing to try and help ourselves.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
