Dear Cheui May,

1. Since you are aware of your element and strength, using it is more accurate means of looking at the compatiblitiy of the home and the individual sectors of your home.

2. The reason is because, when one looks at the Eight House Theory, we generally use only the YEAR of birth to derive our personal GUA (KUA) number. However, under Pillars of Destiny, we use the YEAR; MONTH; DAY and (if the TIME of birth is available) use all 4 Pillars = Eight Elements (Stem and branches) to deduce our true element and strength.

3. Since the common denominator is the Five Elements, we know that each element or each sector represents an element e.g. North = Water element; South = Fire.

Thus, in this context, when we apply our Ba Zhi or Pillars e.g. element and strength; with each sector and or the main entrance of the house, we are in effect, practising basic Ba Zhi Feng Shui.

4. My personal advise is that `Excellent' houses are hard to come by or sometimes by luck we have the opportunity to acquire one.

`Excellent' house is one which has really good Shapes and Form; from a Feng Shui Master's perspective can accumlate and retain wealth.

Thus sometimes, it can be quite elusive to find such a home.

5. But rather, majority of the time it is much easier to find a `GOOD' home.

6. Frankly, it takes years of understanding and `weightage' to be able to pick a good home. Thus, for those who are not FS practitioners, try, (try) to as I mentioned, score on many points related to the various FS theories.

7. Some excellent homes may have poison arrow aimed at it but this is usually curable.

Contrast `poison' arrow with fundamental problems e.g. lots of missing corners especially in the North etc... or toilets located wrongly. These are fundamental problems and difficult to solve unless in my opinion; one "knocks them down".

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
