>I am a newbie to Feng Shui who have been learning it mostly through Lillian
Too's books. I discovered Geomancy-Online recently and am very interested
about all the services rendered here. This is the most organized and
informative Feng Shui site I have seen. I have also noticed that the
administrators (both Cecil and Robert) reply promptly to users' questions.
I wish this site "live long and prosper."


Thank you for your well wishes:)

>Question 1:
>As I am a Kua 3 (Female of 1970), according to my 8-House chart, my
Prosperity is SOUTH. I have also heard that the FIVE YELLOWS is also
located at the SOUTH this year. Therefore, should I or should I not
>i. enhance the SOUTH
>ii. sit facing SOUTH


Although the Five yellow is at the South this year, you should consider this
a general statement e.g. written by an author for `everyone'. However, if
you go `deeper' into the Flying Star theory, the `deeper' the analysis, the
more accurate it is.

A accurate Flying Star chart, should preferably take into account:-

1. The birth chart of the house.
2. Your personal kua number.
3. The exact direction of the main entrance. (in 15 degree increments)

Therefore, in my opinion, if something is so general as where it can be
applied to everyone without taking into consideration a personalised Flying
Star chart as basic as the birth chart of the house and the exact direction
of the house, I will not consider this reading `correct' for everyone.

>Question 2:
>Does the 8-house chart applicable at all times? Or will one get a different
one after a certain period of time?


Yes. Unlike the above (general Flying Star chart), the personal Kua applies
at all times. If you notice it is personalised to everyone i.e. Kua 1 to 8.
It does not change after a certain period of time.

Ideally, you should consider the Eight House Theory as a personalized Theory
of your good/bad locations.

The only thing that it does not consider is to match it with the birth chart
of the house. Otherwise, this is a very simple yet powerful theory.
Personally, I found the Eight House Theory to be `accurate' and many users
here have benefited by this theory.

Currently, there are a few mailing lists that does not believe in this
theory. These are mostly "western " trained Traditional Feng Shui
practioners who specializes in Xuan Kong or Flying Star.

1. What I believe they failed to see is that the Eight House is meant more
for your personal directions and suitability of a home.

2. Some modify the Eight House to incorporate the Flying Star which makes it
highly "voliatile" and an example is in Derek Walter's handbook which he
modified the Eight House and combine this with the Flying Star.

3. Some of these western school used the element of the Eight house to find
a cure but later realise that it is opposite that of the Flying Star or Xuan
Kong. This is wrong! The Eight House should stand on it's own without
modifications.

Here you will see why some `Western' Traditional School Feng Shui
practioners `condemn' the Eight House Theory.

At Geomancy.net, we do lots of research and look at all aspects of Feng
Shui. One sad thing is that currently because of the impact of the Internet
which is dominated by Western Traditional Feng Shui practioners, little is
heard of the Traditional Feng Shui Masters or those that do not speak
English.

This is why we try to be as objective as possible. Trust me. I have more
than 400 books on Feng Shui and every other Feng Shui book written in
Mandarin uses the Eight House theory. So if the Eight House theory is so
widely `condemned' by the Western Traditional Feng Shui practioners.

You will know that because the Western Traditional Feng Shui Schools because
it has a head start in teaching Feng Shui (mainly in English language), if
you look at it closely, I feel there may be "bias" and they continue to give
their own perception and continue to advise everyone that the Eight House is
second rate or only professionals use Xuan Kong or Flying Star.

We do not intend to start a war here but rather, hope you can give some
thought into what I have mentioned above. If you do not believe me, and you
know how to read Chinese, get books written in Mandarin. If the Eight House
Theory (not Eight Aspirations) is second rate, why Mandarin authors
including many Masters `swear' by it? Odd isn't it?

This is a wrong conception. This is why, we at Geomancy.net will continue to
bring you both sides of the coin. We are versatile and continue to bring you
quailty Feng Shui using the best Feng Shui techniques encompassing many
specialised areas like Shapes and Form, Pillars of Destiny, Xuan Kong and
yes! The Eight House Theory.

The most exciting part is that within Ten to Five years time, Geomancy-U.com
will have one of the largest pool of we believe thinking Feng Shui graduates
whose services are valued by everyone. This is because, we hope our students
after completing our courses will not be `narrow' minded but schooled in all
Feng Shui and Chinese Astrology disciplines.

>Question 3:
>Could the 8-house chart be applied to all floors of a say double-story
house?


Sorry for going off-topic abit, but Yes.
