Looking back 2011

This is one of the pictures taken during a talk to 100 over business owners in February 2011. The event was known as BNI Big Breakfast at YMCA auditorium.

Besides the pointers reflected on the powerpoint slides, I also mentioned that gold price will soar and property market will perform very well in 2011.

All these have unfolded. And my analysis was based on the Li Chun Bazi of the year.

Euro debt crisis is not unpredictable but it has surfaced this year and not next year. Why? Where in the 2011-bazi is the trigger? And why did we only see it coming in 2nd half of 2011?

Tsunamis, earthquake and floods happen almost everywhere and every now and then. But why 2011 is exceptionally intense? Can we also attribute this to the Gua image of wind over water?  

Now, how do we relate trust issues to global arena and right to our own society? The lack of trust is the underlying reason for the aggravation of the euro crisis said some reports. The ineffiency of the management of government linked companies have undermined their role as a responsible corporate citizen. How now to regain the trust of the public?

At a family level, we see a rising trend of cheating spouses with more wives cheating on their husband according to a report by Straits Time.

What has the world become? Is 2012 going to be worse? Is the dragon going to rise from the sea of turbulence or drown by it?

I will talk about it soon.     

A Story on Date Selection

Came across this anecdote from a Chinese book on date selection and thought it would be interesting to share it.
During the Qing dynasty, Emperor Qian Long decided to impersonate as a commoner to visit one of the provinces so that he could understand his people better.
He arrived at this village one day and saw that a wedding ceremony was taking place. Being a date selection expert himself, Emperor Qian Long did a quick calculation and discovered that today was an inauspicious date especially for wedding event. So, he stopped one of the villagers and asked who had selected this date for the couple. Not knowing that he was actually speaking to the emperor, the villager then replied that it was calculated by his neighbor who was a scholar in this village.
Emperor Qian Long then blurted out that, "Today is a very bad day according to the date selection classics. Why on earth did your neighbor choose this day for such an important event?"
"Oh, what I understand from my neighbor is that today is indeed an inauspicious day but he mentioned that because a noble person will pass by our village today, all bad energies will retreat and be suppressed. In fact, because of the arrival of this VVIP, the moment will turn auspicious and great blessings will be felt" said the villager.
Qian Long was surprised to find out that there were actually very skillful people among the commoners. So highly skilled that even they could predict the timing of his arrival.
This story was taken from a small paragraph in the book which emphasizes the presence of noble people or Gui Ren in important events. Hence, it is not uncommon to see ministers, celebrities and politicians being invited for ground breaking or business opening ceremonies. This enhances the "Man" component or Ren He of the cosmic trinity.

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.
