Ghostly Gua - 鬼魂卦 (Re-blog from www.yxlfengshui.com)

6/05/2018 Sunday

I was having breakfast with my friend. She told me she was helping a family to rent out their common bed room.

She: I had been advertising for close to 1 year but have no viewings.

Me: hmm

She: Single mum with a kid staying in a 2 bed room unit.

Me: asking too high?

She: Her finance in bad shape, urgent to let, already price down. 

Me: Was it because of the location? 

She: I had a few similar units in my listing. But this unit was closer to the MRT and amenities.

I found it strange because somehow viewers preferred the others despite this unit had better location and lower rent.

How?

Me: (phone clock displayed 1027h )

A 3rd "resident" is staying in this unit. It is unhappy with her renting out the common room as it is living in there.

She: You psychic? How do u know? Hmm but I notice she had an empty altar. Was it the cause?

Me: Me no psychic, I don't know. Gua only say ...…

She: How? You can't expect me to tell her to engage a ghost buster and she really need the rental …

Me: You ask her to rent out the master room

She: You sure? Need effort to convince

Me: Goodness just try your best; there is nothing to loose ....

My friend spoke to me over the phone. 

She: hey rented out !

Me: Rent what?

She: The "thingy" unit lah

Me: Congrats

She: Last week I managed to convince her to rent out the master room. Something unbelievable happen

Me : What?

She: As soon as I published the amended listing, I started to receive enquiry about the unit. Finally viewings happened over the weekend. Deal closed with deposit. Tuesday just signed and today I still receiving room queries…

Me: So when will I receive my red packet?

She: Needy people lah, I did not receive comm for this. I will recommend you clients....

Me: What can I say ....

She: You going to teach this skill?

Me: What skill?

She: Ghost detection ha ha...

Me: ha ha

This is the XinYi Divination technique (心易占) which does not require rocking tortoise shell, software to plot Qi Men, 64 Hex chart etc but based on heart 心 that flows along with a conversation .....

SMRT Feng Shui good or bad?(Re-blog from www.yxlfengshui.com)

If you think SMRT Feng Shui is bad then you may want to reconsider your opinion. One of my clients sent me the price history of SMRT share and he asked me this question: “If Feng Shui is no good how come it is still able to make money during the years 2005 to 2011?”

If you think SMRT Feng Shui is good (very unlikely one will think it this way) then how would you justify the recent incidents that had happened?

Some attribute the incidents to excessive drilling, which disturb the earth Qi during the construction of the Circle Line. But it does not answer why SMRT make money during this period.

The real answer can be found in these photos & based on the following key points:

• What is the difference between a water mouth (水口) and Qi mouth (氣口)?  
• Is this building receiving water or Qi and which period it is aligned to?
• When does Qi mouth become Wind mouth（風口）?

If you are clear with the above 4 points, pay a little bit more attention with the pictures and you should be able to find the answer. It is obvious.

Some also observe that the lady CEO appears to manage the company better than the current CEO (man).  Don’t agree? But as matter of fact, SMRT share price rises above $2 during her term as CEO. On the other hand, the current CEO ended up apologizing to the commuters due to the recent flooding. The flooding incident also reflects negatively on his leadership suggesting poor work culture and potential staff issues within the company which he had also acknowledged.

(http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/deep-seated-cultural-issues-partly-blame-train-disruptions-smrt-group-ceo).  

Does it mean that she is more capable than him? My 2-cents comment is that Heaven and Earth is not on his side.

From the Naked eye (形家長眼法) perspective this is a typical 隂胜陽衰formation which by principle prosper woman and petty people (小人) . How to ‘See’?

• First you take reference from the main gate that faces Raffles City
• look at the front side (朱雀) and ask yourself is Raffles city very much higher than SMRT building?
• Next look to the right side (白虎) and ask yourself is it relatively higher?

Therefore what is happening is in effect the manifestation (克应) of the form. Refer to my blog on "A different naked eye system" for the reasoning logic

Many also observed that 2011 Rabbit is the tipping year for SMRT where disruptions become increasingly frequent and apparently peak in 2015 Ram year. Some are sharp to point out the train collision occur during the rooster years (1993 & 2017).  But why there is nothing serious in 2005 rooster? Could it be just a coincidence? Again the answer lies in the photos and the 4 key points. The Tai Sui year is just a matter of trigger.

Now here comes the ambiguity in assessing Feng Shui. I understood that the door at the façade was closed and visitors are advised to use the main gate facing Raffles city. So which facing would you use as the reference in your assessment? Is it the façade (South facing), the main gate (South East facing) or the back gate (North West facing)? For me, I wouldn’t bother much because in Xuan Kong Liu Fa(玄空六法) the site facing is derived based on land formation (依形而立). Therefore, the so call door/façade facing only add points if the site is already prosperous. That said facing does play a critical role in Tai Sui analysis and if you do notice I am using the main gate as reference for Naked eye.

Good or bad Feng Shui for SMRT is not the main point. The point I am trying to demonstrate is that having bad Feng Shui does not mean one can’t make money while business can also fail with good Feng Shui.

What I can and have shared is just the tip of an ice-berg in ‘Seeing’ Feng Shui. If you are interested to know more you may have to pay me a visit personally.

Keep or sell? (Re-blog from www.yxlfengshui.com)

20 Nov 2017 my relative give me a lift home. During the journey she asked me whether she should keep or sell her condo.

Relative: Someone is interested in my unit but the offer is not ideal for me.

Me: Then keep it

Relative: Can you be more constructive?

(I noted the registration number of a car in front of us: 5827) 

Me:  Not easy to sell due to competition

Relative: Yap there are 2 units putting up for sale within the same stack

Me: Maybe you should find a good agent to help you sell

Relative: I am the agent

Me: Hmm I not sure what going to happen but you need to watch out of losing money.

Relative: Oh yes I am offering above market rate co-broke commission to the buying agent. That why he is trying to swing his buyer to my unit....

Me: Honestly the buyer's offer seems good but your unit have growth potential

Relative: I am getting decent income from rental. Should I keep?

Me: You decide. If you really want to sell, the max achievable is $1250 psf.

She: You are right! Initially, I am marketing my unit at $1269 psf for almost 1 year. No offer until the buyer agent swing his buyer to my unit at $1204 psf

Me: This is what we call 劫财卦(Rob wealth Gua)

Relative: Huh!

Me: Never mind. You can try to push a little bit more to compensate for the commission loss. 

Relative: Ok!

Agnostic Gua (Re-blog from www.yxlfengshui.com)

4/11/2017, my wife and I was at a retail mall (white goods) to shop for a stove for my parents new house. It was a huge mall and we don't have a clue where to look for.

She: Let's check the directory.

(I looked at my phone and the time showed 1831)

Me:  No need, the stove section is at the back. 

She: You sure? Gua say so?

Me: Yes and it is situated at the back but on left side of the mall

(We are at the main entrance which is at front right side of the mall.  We went in all the way and found the stove section. )

She: Your Gua is half correct leh. The stove section cover from right to the middle back.

(Honestly, I scratched head too, until we walk few more steps and realized a restaurant . I paused for a moment to think )

Me: Bingo! This restaurant sell cooked food. Here is where the real stove is .....

She: Giggled

Feng Shui wonder of rubbish chute (Re-blog from www.yxlfengshui.com)

Will you set up a stall that is directly facing the rubbish chute cum refuse collection center?

Well the rubbish chute seems to prosper this roast meat stall in the coffee shop. The Q during lunch time is always this long.

I was there last Sat with my relative. He told me he could not see why a stall such a stall could outshine the rest. Apparently most of the coffee shop patrons are here for the chicken rice.

I told him my 1st encounter of such a prosperous food stall operating beside a rubbish chute is a Briyani stall in Beach Road.

“Ya right there is also a Michelin star Pork noodle stall in Crawford lane which is also beside a toilet and the waiting time can be up to an hour or more” he said. I was told that the toilet is at the left hand side (Dragon) of the stall. I was kind of surprised by what he described and I promised myself to pay it a visit soon.

Anyway, while he was queuing I managed to find out online this roast meat stall has been operating for 10 over years.

According to Xuan Kong Liu Fa, it has a 雌雄Ci Xiong formation that is aligned to period 8 金龍Jin Long (Golden Dragon) and that is all it needs to prosper.

That said it is worth pointing out the stall is facing South East and this orientation has the effect of icing the cream, adding points to the already prosperous site.

If you don’t believe me it is understandable. The point I want to make here is that a site’s prosperity is determined by Feng and Shui itself, i.e. the external environment. Whether it facing rubbish area or not or whether the door or stove is in the auspicious sector or not, they are not the key to a site’s prosperity. The same principle apply to your house unit. This is because the very 1st line in the classic 青嚢序 Qing Nan Xu (the executive summary to Qing Nan Classics）already state: 楊公養老看雌雄，天下諸書對不同．先看金龍動不動，次察血脈認來龍．“Master Yang spend his lifetime see Ci Xiong …., Ascertain the Jin Long ....”

However, in this case the rubbish chute does weigh in. So if you intend to set up business it may be worth considering areas near the rubbish chute or toilet area and who knows these features might work wonders on your business ……

Floor plan & Unit number Feng Shui (Reblog from www.yxlfengshui.com)

I frequently received emails & texts seeking advice on house Feng Shui. Most of them ask me to assess online by providing me with the unit floor plan or the unit number.

Do you think it is possible to assess Feng Shui based the furnished info? The answer is yes but there are blind spots.

Now would you trust a prescription by a doctor who base on your description of the symptoms merely over a phone call?  

1. Feng Shui assessment is complicated. Feng Shui impacts a person’s well-being in 5 areas: wealth, fertility, nobility, longevity/health & marriage. In Chinese it is known as 财丁贵壽婚. 

Each area can be further subdivided into smaller scope that needs to be accounted for in order to have a comprehensive & clear audit.

Let us look at wealth as an example. It can be divided into 5 scopes: wealth source財源, wealth potential財勢, wealth luck (timing) 財運, wealth magnitude (how much) 財量and wealth reserves (savings) 財庫.

2. We can assess wealth reserves based on floor plan and wealth source based on unit number. Among the 5 scopes, wealth luck (when does it come) and magnitude (earn how much) are the deciding factors to whether the house Feng Shui can bring you wealth. But they can be only assessed on site.

I am sure you would not want a house which is assessed to be prosperous in wealth reserve but requires more than a decade to fill up right?

3. Of course it does not come free when you engaged a Feng Shui consultant to assess on site. But if you objectively compare, the consultation fee is very likely to be less than 5% of the total renovation cost. In case the house Feng Shui is lousy and you have to move out, can you tagged along the expensive renovation with you?

The consultant fee is fractional if you weigh it against the financial commitment of house. I am sure you would want a house that can bring you immediate prosperity.

Therefore for me, I will not trust phone call based medical prescriptions.  What about you?
