Feng Shui Questions

Question: When do I need to hire a Feng Shui master to look at my house?

Answer: It is best to check Feng Shui before decorating, so that you can plan in advance and avoid finding out that it is not suitable after decoration.

Q: Should I hire a Feng Shui master first or ask a designer to draw the picture first?

A: It is recommended to ask a Feng Shui master to understand the main axis of the overall Feng Shui layout before renovating, and then hand it over to the designer to design the space to ensure that the Feng Shui elements are not ignored.

Question: When I first enter my new home with my keys, can I roll a pineapple?

Answer: We recommend not rolling the pineapple, but you can choose to carry the pineapple into the house.
In addition to this method, we recommend considering the following:
– Wear the color that suits your horoscope
– When choosing daytime, the best time is morning.
– Open the door with a happy and positive mood, and silently recite the blessing
– Open all doors and windows in the house (including the toilet)
– Sprinkle coarse salt in the corners of the house (not in the toilet)
(Avoid wooden or metal objects when spreading salt (salt may corrode)
*Remember to close the doors and windows when you leave

Q: How should I prepare for the Feng Shui house viewing? What should I bring?

A: The floor plan of the house, the birth dates and times of family members, and the key points you want to know (e.g., are there any areas you want to improve: wealth, health, relationship with your spouse, children's studies, career development, etc.). You can wear lighter clothes on that day.
If you don't remember your family members' birth characters, just give us their birth date and time in the Gregorian calendar and we will convert it into the birth characters.

Q: After explaining the Feng Shui layout on site, does the teacher have any follow-up?

A: Yes, the service also includes groundbreaking and moving-in auspicious dates. Usually after the first on-site explanation of the Feng Shui layout, if the customer has any uncertainties during the renovation process or before moving in, or needs to adjust the plan, they can ask again, and the teacher will continue to assist and follow up.

Question: What school of thought do you use for your Feng Shui layout?

Answer: The more mainstream ones are the Eight House School and the Xuan Kong Flying Star School.
In the early days, the Eight Mansions School was quite popular (mainly based on the orientation of the house to determine the East Four Fates, West Four Fates, auspicious and inauspicious directions). However, with the change of the times, the Eight Mansions School is no longer in line with the family model of modern society, and the Eight Mansions School does not refer to the time of the Yuanyun.
For example: those who worked in real estate did very well in the early days, but after entering the ninth period in 2024, technology and IT-related industries began to prosper. This is the result of the transformation of the Yuanyun.
In terms of Qi, we mainly use Xuan Kong Feixing to make Feng Shui layout.

Q: If I want to make an appointment for Feng Shui service, what information do I need to provide?

A: Of course, we need the address, floor plan and some basic information. Please contact our assistant for details.

Q: Will the teacher be there in person? What is the process?

A: Yes, the teacher will personally go to the site to check the Feng Shui. The on-site explanation will take about 45 minutes to an hour.
The layout of the entire house will be explained on site, including key points such as the door, bed, and kitchen. It will also point out where the wealth position and Wenchang position are, how to resolve evil spirits, etc.

Question: Is it necessary to buy Feng Shui products to consult Feng Shui?

A: If you really need to use Feng Shui products, the teacher will explain the principles clearly. The decision is still in your hands. We will not force you.
We don't sell these things, but if you have any recommendations, they are all practical, affordable and easy to find.

Question: Is it too late to hire a Feng Shui master after the renovation is completed?

A: No, you can still see. We will help you see if there is any impact on the existing structure. If adjustments are needed, we will suggest how to change it. If it cannot be changed, we will also guide how to mitigate it.

Question: I am a Christian, can I hire a Feng Shui master?

A: Yes, we have served Christians and even customers with no religious background. Feng Shui is actually about exploring the relationship between people and residences. The key is how to make life smoother, space more comfortable, and fortune more harmonious. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Q: If my family members do not believe in Feng Shui, can we still make Feng Shui adjustments? Will there be conflicts?

A: Yes. We make adjustments based on the home's movement lines, lighting, yin and yang, wind and water, and spatial distribution, etc., with the goal of making the people living in the house live more smoothly and feel more at ease. If the family members do not specifically object, there will actually be no conflict. We will handle it in a natural and life-like way, without involving religion or superstition, so that everyone can accept it with peace of mind.

Q: Does Feng Shui really work? How long does it take to see results?

Answer: The effects of Feng Shui will vary depending on the person, the house, and the situation.
We often say that "Feng Shui is not magic and cannot change your life immediately", but it can improve a person's living conditions from the perspective of environment, layout, traffic flow, and aura, making your life smoother, your emotions more stable, and your interpersonal relationships better.
Some customers notice obvious improvements in their mood, sleep, family communication or work status within a short period of time after adjustments; others see results gradually over a few months. The key depends on whether the individual's overall fortune cooperates and whether the adjustment suggestions are implemented.

Q: Is Feng Shui related to religion? Is it okay if I am not a Buddhist/Taoist?

Answer: Feng Shui itself is not a religion. It is a science of coordination between people and the environment. It focuses on directions, traffic lines, structures, yin and yang, and the flow of aura. It has no direct relationship with Buddhism or Taoism.
Whether you have religious beliefs or not, whether you are a Buddhist or not, you can read Feng Shui.

Question: I have lived in my current house for a long time. Do I still need to consider the Feng Shui?

Answer: Feng Shui talks about "land luck" and "human luck". It is not a one-time thing. After living there for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be accumulation of aura, changes in furnishings, and shifts in the magnetic field.
Especially now that we have entered the "Ninth Period" (2024-2043), the energy of the entire environment is changing. Many originally auspicious positions may become mediocre or even unfavorable positions, and the original evil positions may also need to be readjusted.
Simple adjustments, not necessarily major renovations, can bring noticeable improvements.

Eight Characters Service Questions

Q: What is Bazi? How is it calculated?

A: Eight characters are a combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches calculated based on your birth year, month, day, and time. Through these eight characters, we can understand a person's fate, the five elements, and the changes in fortune.

Q: What information do I need to provide to calculate my eight characters?

A: You only need the Gregorian date and time of birth (24-hour format). If you are unsure of your birth time, you can look it up on your birth certificate.

Question: What can be seen from the eight characters?

answer:
There are many aspects to consider, for example:
• Personality and talent
• Career direction
• Financial luck
• Marriage and Relationship
• Health status
• Annual fortune (good or bad luck in the year)
• Suitable industries or types of entrepreneurship
• When is it easy to change your luck or meet a noble person?

Question: Can the Eight Characters be used to predict fate or marriage?

A: Of course. The Eight Characters can analyze the relationship pattern, the type of partner that is suitable, whether the relationship is going well, the age that is suitable for marriage, etc. If you want to see the Eight Characters for marriage, please ask the assistant for details.

Q: Can one’s fortune be predicted by the horoscope? When is the best time to start a business?

A: Yes. The Eight Characters can determine the strength of your fortune in terms of side income/main income, whether you are suitable for a stable or adventurous route, and can also analyze the timing and partners for starting a business or investing.

Question: Is the Eight Characters fixed throughout one’s life?

Answer: The eight characters are like a "blueprint of destiny", but every decade you will have a different fortune, and every year there will be changes in the annual luck, so your life fortune will rise and fall. Knowing the annual luck trend in time can help you better master the rhythm, avoid shocks, and seize opportunities.

Q: Is Bazi a religion? Can I still do it even if I am not a Buddhist?

A: Bazi is not a religion, it is a kind of oriental numerology, and has no direct relationship with Buddhism or Taoism. Whether you have faith or not, you can understand yourself through Bazi. As long as you are willing, we will explain it to you in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Question: What if the calculation is not good?

A: Don't worry. We will not interpret the eight characters in a threatening way. Instead, we will tell you how to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, and what to do at different stages. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses in their destiny. Understanding yourself is the first step to change.
