Look also the opposite & triangular grid (san fan si zhen) if there are Zuo fu, You bi, and those aides stars (supporters) shining at the career palace??

Hi, BB Here is the answer to the query you PM... how feng shui can be applied in modern days where we can't visibly see rivers and mountains. Here are the fundamental considerations affecting the flow of Qi in our living environemnt: a. Waterways / Roads b. High Rise Buildings c. Poison Arrows a. Waterways / Roads They are carriers of Qi. Hence, we do not like water to be rushing very quickly because this will draw away the Qi. Similarly, fast moving traffic is also as bad. So, we do not like straight roads cutting in the direction towards the house as this Qi is considered very fierce, hostile. We prefer slow moving, meandering road / walkway which will have good and harmonize Qi flow. b. High Rise Building. Modern city, like where we live, there is NO mountains & not even hills! Therefore, in cities like our Singapore, we have tall buildings, HDB flats, and these can represent mountains. Look out for their shapes (flat mountain top, sharp pointed, round shape??), sizes and conditions (is it rocky mountain, botak, lush greenery top??). c. Poison Arrows Look out for sharp roofs or anything protuding out from your neighbouring blocks, electrical pylons / poles, etc pointing towards you which is deemed negative Qi and considered inauspicious which may harm the property. In general, for a Feng shui audit, these are the checklist: 1. analyse the condition of natural external environment : is there mountain or water, and where are they located? 2. Non-natural external landforms - Is it positive or Negative? 3. Incoming Waterways / Roads - are they busy type, quiet or very very busy or too YIN?

Hi, BB No problem...thank you for sharing your thought and the useful information. I guess my son could have done it on purpose.....as he is aware that he might be posted to some 'risk taking units' as he is the 3rd child in the family.

I usually buy those packet type of herbal / green tea / milk / juices for them. You are right...time to boil home-made barely or green bean soup!

Is it a long or short lines? Broad and deep or thin line? I met one famous Astro-Palmist in one of recent event and he told me that I have VIP line. Asked him to pin-point to me where is the VIP line, he told me it is a trade secret!! He explained that people with VIP lines are either VIP themselves, married VIPs or surrounded by VIPs. Well, I guess I fall into the last one....surround by VIPs!!!

In the Basic course, we have learnt that: Each hexagrams can breakdown into 6 divisions. Since we have 64 hexagrams, if we divide them in 6 divisions each, we will have a total of 384 divisions. Each division takes up 0.9375°. Each 384 division are called Yao(爻). Each Yao(爻) can represent the following:- Parent (父母) Brother (兄弟) Status (宫鬼) Wealth/Spouse (妻财) Children (子孙)

It is apparent in my Bazi chart. I have'Study Hall' and 'Intelligence' stars in Current Luck cycle....this explains why I suddenly can find the energy & time to occupy my brain and damage the cells with courses!! Office work is forever busy...because in my ZWDS chart, I have 'Tian Tong Hua Ji' in my Career Palace, so I cannot be the type who is 'happy go lucky type' when comes to work. ...and my designation (ending with XXXXXXX, Tender & Engineering Support) gives away the clue on how busy I can be at work!!

Yes, all taught in English....otherwise I oso catch 'no ball' in Chinese...unlike both you and bepgof who are bi-linguist!!

Got to trick him to show me his palms.... Actually he did ask me to feel his fingers at the time when the skin hardened after he learned to play guitar. Hmmmm...good to ask him about his fingers again! I also remember his fingers tips got very few 'rings'....indicating he is either a Hero or Zero kind of person! He can be plummated & become success overnight!!

I am at home now, buying lunch back for him...but he locks himself inside the room! Sighhh!! Can only talk to him this evening after work, when I buy dinner for him. Hmmmm...I have already learnt to endure his strong will character until he goes to NS...to transform himself into a better person, which I believe he would & he could change!

The above analysis is based on his Bazi chart. Now, I am going to plot his ZWDS chart to check his Health palace in 2011.

The Extreme Makeover Series - continued Before & After photographs Bedroom 3 The smallest bedroom of all...occupied by second son who needs Wood elements according to his Bazi Chart: Position / location of his bedroom is also tuned to his favourable direction.

BaZi In Chinese astrology, our fortune is embedded in our Bazi chart, which is made up of 8 characters paired up to form the 4-pillars of destiny. They made up the Heavenly Stems and Earthy Branches. Each of these pillars carries with it the destiny code that holds the secret to our state of health, wealth, relationship and happiness. By interpreting and reading the birth chart, we can foretell our characteristics and personal traits, and it also gives a diagnostic, prescriptive and predictive evaluation to our life path, whether it is going to be smooth or rocky, based on the 5 elemental value of wood, fire, earth, metal and water and on how these elements can interact with each other based on the cycles of Growth, Weakening and Control. So, from the moment we were born, we were infused with these elemental energies and whether favorably or unfavorably, it will depend largely on the timing. If the timing of our birth is right or favorable, we will have a smooth journey in life where wealth and abundance beckons. On the contrary, if the timing is unfavorable, there will be a life full of challenges and hardship. We have heard the saying “Don’t miss the forest for the trees!”. I read this article somewhere and it is trully awakening for most if not all of us: Have you ever wondered why the goal which we worked so hard to achieve is all worth it at the end of the day? Have you ever felt that the rewards you have expected from the achievement of your goals turned out to be different from what you have expected? Does that mean you have failed? Our failures teach us to see things in perspectives. It highlights our values and helps us to define what is important in our lives. A man who gives priority to his family will willingly forego the opportunity to excel in his career but can certainly be a successful husband and father. A woman who chooses to be an entrepreneur and spent considerable amount of time at work will certainly be successful in her career, but she may have to forego success in her marriage and relationship (like talking about myself here...lol). Whatever it is, we must remember that "Failure is Not Final!!...and it should be just the beginning of a new lease of life! Now, back to my son's BaZi chart: Personality Traits: My youngest son is very strong 'Geng' metal person. For a strong Metal person, the best thing is to send him for training in discipline, righteousness, responsibility and moral values. Without discipline and the moral compass to guide him, he will always be a raw metal! I have mentioned somewhere in this thread that I have a hard time handling my youngest son. A look into his Bazi chart shows that his unconscious mind is more in control of his own actions. In theory, our subconscious mind influences 90% of our belief, emotion, habit, addiction and moral values. We have to start with disciplining the mind which is the root of our most extreme behavior. Modern science has Hypnotherapy, Neuro-linguistic Programming and Emotional Freedom Techniques. These are tools used to reach the inner recesses of the subconscious mind in order to strengthen the will power to overcome our inhibitions such as phobias, fears, worries etc. In my son's chart, it shows a tendencies of paranoia and feeling of suspicious towards others. All these can be attributable to the subconscious mind which is controlling him. He has to control his self centeredness and overbearing attitude when dealing with people, especially Mummy ME!!!! Luckily, in his charts, there are Fire elements and once the Geng metal are well forged, he can turn to be very charismatic, tactful, eloquent and a dynamic personality as he matures. Positive: My son has the propensity to seek unconventional knowledge and wisdom. He is the type that prefers informal schooling, which others call it the school of hard knock. This is why he is not able to blend into the main stream school as he is not fond of formal education. I have to pull him out of Secondary school and enrol him into a private Diploma course which costs me a bomb!! Practically, he is the street smart and pragmatic sort, and his mind is quite attuned to unique thinking and he tends to view things differently than ordinary people. Further analysis revealed that he is endowed with intuitive intelligence and the special sense of insight. Negative: He has a Goat Blade in his natal chart, a grim indication of accident, bodily harm, injury by metal or metal based object, and disaster which may lead to a death in the family. I have always advised him not be too gung-ho and foolhardy when it comes to taking risk, as he is the type who is inclined to be reckless, irrational and prone to overdrive. Being very energetic and full of stamina, he may unnecessarily expose himself to risky behavior. Things he definitely has to avoid are risky sports and handle sharp metal objects with special care. Goodness thing is that his natal chart has the Heavenly Virtue and Moon Virtue stars. When these 2 favourable stars are in the chart, a person will be privileged enough to enjoy a relatively smooth sailing life with minimal hiccups or misfortune.

It is my son's 3rd medical review at CMPB this morning. He was detected with high heart beat rate, infact it was higher than the 1st review done a month ago. Yesterday, he came back wearing a device on his arm for 24hr monitoring & will be at CMPB again this morning. By checking at his Bazi chart, he has a lot of fire elements, which is supposed to be his favourable element, to forge his strong metals which are apparent in his chart. Moreover, he is sleeping in NE room, belonging to Earth elements which strenghten his metals. Looking at his Health aspects, I don't see any fire related illness, except that in this season of spring, from Feb to Apr, his fire density increases. My analysis is that he should not be having any heart related problem at all.

Hi, BB Finally see you in my blog, after past weeks of our correspondence by PM! Part 2 is akan datang, coming soon...once I cleared all PMs!

Sometimes I get worried cos he is still a teenager & mummy ME have to work & don't have much time to keep him company. I understand he is lonely & what he wants to buy, I won't stop him. Good thing is that he is not demanding & he bought all his guitars with the allowance $$ I gave him. In the next part of my feng shui write up, I will write on his Bazi analysis & how I can mitigate & balance his chart.

The 'massive' wires coiling underneath the desk... His expensive CPU....an IT expert friend helps to assemble his CPU.....and the components alone cost over $3K!!! His guitars.....one of them costs $2K and took 3 months to indent! ....so he seldom comes out of his room......eat, sleep, play all in his room!!! When he goes out this morning, he warned me not to go into his room!! You can now understand why his bedroom is Out of Bound....... So, I restricted the photographs to those posted above!!

Definitely need to give the plants tender loving care......and I have to buy plants and lots of accessories for my house...

Haha..you are sharp! The Town Council cleaner washes the common corridor of our block on 1st of every month. I supposed to install acrylic plate on the lower gate to prevent water from seeping through the door gap...cannot find them yet, so temporary stick anything that I can salvage from junks!

Like what tidakboleh mentioned, there are directions.... Categories of Inauspicious Directions: Blind Spot / Emptiness Lines Trigram Border Yin-Yang Border, or Yin-Yin / Yang-Yang Border p.s. I took my course in English..so certain ancient texts might not be properly translated.

Hmmm.....you may have noticed that I have shown the photographs of almost every corners of our house except the bedroom 2 occupied by my youngest son! His room is OUT OF BOUND for family members, except he will call mummy to clean up his room if he cannot 'tahan' it anymore! Well....today is exceptional as he went for NS medicial review at CMPB this morning and I sneaked into his room and snapped a few shots! Will upload them shortly.

Hi, BB It is quite easy as they are classified into major good stars and major negative stars!

Noted. I will PM you the contact of my electrician.
