Beauty and the Sun (Yuan Qi Men)

At 12 pm sharp, dark cloud makes way for the sun.

The sun shines on the shop.  

Lion dance and ribbon cutting.

"Rain, rain go away. Come again and another day. Because today is my client's big day."

My client plans to start a beauty school. A month ago, she rang me up and wanted me to pick a saturday for the Opening ceremony so that she could invite her friends, relatives and business associates to witness this great milestone of her career.

November has been a wet month. But I need the sun to be out for the special moment as this is a beauty business. So, I picked the moment for her since 2 weeks ago, based on Xuan Kong Da Gua Date and San Yuan Qi Men Dun Jia System. Besides the good formation of Xuan Kong hexagram date structure, I also ensure that a good door arrives at the sitting hexagram and in this instance, the Scene door or Jing Men (景门到山).

In the study of Qi Men Dun Jia, Jing Men represents, amongst other things, elegance and reputation. It is akin to the attributes of Li gua. It is also an auspicious door to use besides Grow, Rest and Open doors. Therefore, it is the most apt door for a beauty business.

I told her to cut the ribbon at 12pm sharp. Lion dance to follow after that.

Close to 12 pm, the sky was still gloomy and worse still, the drizzling has not stopped. I told the organiser to start to standby the ribbon cutting, lion dance troop and guests as the timing was near.

Strangely, at 12 pm sharp, the drizzle suddenly stopped and the dark cloud made way for the sunshine and cast the ray onto the shop. I took a few pictures to help you visualise better.

The ribbon was snipped. Lion dance began and lasted for 15 minutes. The crowd gathered outside the shop celebrating and gracing the event.

At 1215 pm, the guests proceeded for their lunch inside the shop.

A couple of minutes later, the weather resumed. A downpour followed.

I overheard some guests were saying they found the whole thing so inexplicable. But I know why.

Thank you San Yuan Qi Men and Xuan Kong Da Gua.

Leakage of Wealth through the Window

.
Many clients told me that their previous feng shui master had advised them to install a partition or screen after they step into their house or HDB unit.

This is to ensure that the qi does not come in from the main door, whiz through the living room and immediately dash out of the window. In another word, if you are able to see your window or balcony when you are at your main door, you will suffer from wealth leakage.

Worse still, if your bedroom also has such situation, add another partition immediately after your bedroom door to shield it from the room window. End up, you may need to go though a labyrinth before you hit your bed.

The unfortunate thing is that almost all of Singapore's HDB or even condo, especially those built in the early days, are designed as such. But the phenomenol thing is that, most Singaporean's affluence level have seen an increase over the years.

Does qi really behave in this manner? When do we need to really insert the partition? Wouldn't it be better to have an internal Ming Tang or circulation space? Aren't you blocking the good qi from entering?

The findings I gather is that, instead of preventing the wealth from leaking, all of my clients that have subscribed to the recommended solution either suffer from some financial issues or could not break through the status quo.

But the renovation contractors certainly have more jobs.

Zi Chou Separation?

.
It has been quite a while since I talk about bazi. So, I decided to write something that I thought can provide a fresh perspective for those who are into bazi.

Do you find it strange that if I say Zi and Chou (rat and ox earthly branches) are not combination but separation?

Am I talking nonsense?

I thought my bazi teacher and almost all bazi books mention that zi and chou are one of the 6 combinations? You may instinctively ask.

Zi Chou can actually be perceived as a sign of separation after coming together. 先合后分的现象。

Why?

For a very simple reason, it is a countering relationship of earth and water in the hidden stem.

Therefore, zi chou in spouse palace is not something blissful and sentimental that one always think so.

There are more of such things in bazi. I call it false image.

11.11.11

.

I was interviewed by the media, RazorTV on the significance of 11.11.11.

.

Even though this day is defined as a "Danger" day by the 12 Deities Day system (十二建除日), it is still considered as an auspicious day for wedding activities.

.

In the chinese wedding date selection classic, 11 November 2011 which is Geng-wu day pillar, is singled out as a Yin Yang balance day (阴阳不将日) in the month of Hai (November). This is a day that neither the yin nor the yang energy is too dominant for the male and the female. In addition, the day is blessed with good energies like Annual Virtuous and Heaven Virtuous.

.

The best hours to carry out activities such as signing of the marriage certificate or tea ceremony would be between 11 am to 3 pm where you will have good stars like:

• Heaven Official Nobleman
• Fortune Star Nobleman
• Heaven Nobleman
• Harmonious Star

With the presence of such positive energies, it brings prosperity and shower the couple and their parents with many blessings. When carrying out wedding date calculation for the couple, it will be interesting to note that the wedding date selection system focuses alot on the bride's date of birth. It ensures that the date selected is not detrimental to her in-laws, her offspring star and husband star. What the system aims for is to let the bride be well-treated and be able to discharge her duties as a daughter-in-law, a wife and mother to the children.

.

11.11.11, according to Xuan Kong Da Gua date calculation, gives rise to a combination of ten date structure especially if you arrange for feng shui activities like positioning of bed, tilting door, renovation and etc to commence between 11 am and 1 pm. Some masters have also used this system to pick an auspicious moment for wedding activity by ensuring the date is compatible with the couple's year pillar hexagram. For example, couple born in the years of 1978 and 1980 will receive good support from this date structure. Combination of Ten denotes yin yang balance.

.

However, one thing to note is that 11.11.11 is not suitable for people born in the year of rat as there is a conflicting energy between rat and horse.

Xuan Kong Feng Shui - The Judgement Day

.
There are 3 words to sum up the 4-day Xuan Kong Feng Shui course: Interactive, Fun and Challenging.

There were great bondings especially towards the last day among the participants despite the fact that some do not know each other in the beginning. Participants were eager to exchange their personal experience in feng shui and question some of the fundamentals. To me, this is the spirit of learning. Sometimes, there is no right or wrong in your answers, it is just a matter of perspectives. Afterall, feng shui is also an art that calls for judgement. It is never meant to be an exact science.

I looked forward to everyday of the course because everyday was filled with laughters from the class. I believe that our mind absorbs the most when we are relax and we enjoy ourselves during the learning process. To me, there are no stupid questions. I encourage participants to ask, to be curious and to be bold in their thinking process.

The last day was wonderful. This was the moment that everyone geared up to assess the feng shui of real properties and then corroborate with the actual events that have taken place. We set out our journey in a convoy of 3 cars, heading to 3 different types of properties one after another to get our hands dirty. The lunch at the teow chew restaurant was sumptuous. The bubble tea that were prepared by the gorgeous lady boss at her bubble tea factory at 5 pm arrived timely to quench the thirst of inquisitive students. I seldom drink bubble tea but after trying it, I am going back for more!

A big thank to all the participants for being so spontaneous and adventurous. Congratulations to everyone of you who will now know how to fly the stars to a greater height.
