Dear Clancy,

I have a link to several sites concerning the subject of the Southern
Hemisphere.

The url is: http://www.3dglobe.com/fs/addsites.htm


=========================== Extracted from the above webpage
==========================
1. Can Feng Shui be applied to the Southern Hemisphere without
modifications?

The general consensus is that there is NO need to modify for the
Southern Hemisphere! Do read
on....

a. Master Joseph Yu of astro-fengshui.com says "Yes. There is no
need to modify
the conventional technique".

c. Ray Harris shares the same view that there is no need to
modify the
conventional technique

His views (from the above article) are as follows:-

The 'Southern' School can be regarded as false for the following
reasons.
1. The climate argument does not apply to all climates of a given
hemisphere.
2. The seasonal associations of the Ba Gua are only coincidental
for temperate
zones in the Northern Hemisphere. They must therefore be regarded
as
incidental and not primary associations.
3. The altered Ba Gua places Li in the position of magnetic and
celestial north,
which is directly contrary to their traditional meaning.
4. The traditional associations remain valid when considered
globally.
5. The 'Southern' School contains logical absurdities.
6. No conclusive proof has been offered to validate the different
'Southern'
theories. They therefore remain mere hearsay.
7. The advocates of the 'Southern' School have not provided a
consensus
system. Each advocate has their own variation, some of which
seriously
contradict each other.

d. Ray Harris article 2 is an excerpt of his correspondence with
Lindy Baxter with
his point-by-point rebuttal over the `flawed' Southern Hemisphere
model.

After you have read his second article 2, Ray Harris states that
he and Master Yu
does not agree with the views given by the two of the major
proponents of the
Southern Hemisphere School. (Lindy Baxter and Roger Green).

Personally, I also do not believe that there is a need to `cater' to the
Southern Hemisphere.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

>Hi,
>I need to know if the bagua directions are appropriate for the southern
hemisphere or if some adjustments should be made. For example, in the
northern hemisphere, the south side of the home is the hottest one, thus is
appropriate for the FIRE direction. Here in the southern hemisphere, the
opposite is true, with the north being the hot side of the home and the
south being cool and shady.
>
>This being the case, would it be appropriate to reverse the directions?
Are there any 'rules' which would apply? Should the areas be switched
around? ie wealth to the nw rather than the se? All this is terribly
confusing!
>
>I have only one book which makes any reference to this (Feng Shui for
Australians) in which the author, Gerry Heaton, suggests using the direction
of the front door as a starting point, ignoring the compass completely, and
relying on intuition from there on! Not very helpful as the compass is an
integral part of Feng Shui.

>I really hope to get some informed advise on this, as I would hate to go to
all the trouble of applying FS to my home only to find later that I'd done
it all backwards!
