Dear Carpazia,

I am very glad that you found the information provided here useful:)

1. So long as we understand:
a. the purpose of each concept
b. its strength and weakness

Can we than properly apply all the various concepts confidently.

2.The Eight House Theory is still relevant under the following circumstances:

2.1 How suitable is the house to the owner?

This is the most important feature of this theory.

2.2 It would be a BONUS to sleep in a good sector and an additional bonus if we can also sleep facing a good direction.

2.3 Especially for students, one can seat facing one's good direction.

2.4 Because of the ease of understanding this theory; it can be considered an `introduction' to Feng Shui. Because of its simplicity, many people can confidently, grow with proper applications of Traditional Feng Shui.

3. The major flaw of the Eight House Theory is that:

3.1 It takes consideration, only the year of birth. As opposed to Ba Zi Feng Shui which takes into account Year, Month, Day, Time. And in this site: additional pillars such as House of Life and House of Conception.

3.2 It cannot be related to the common denominator i.e. The Five Elements Concept.

3.3 If one noticed carefully, the Flying Star Theory (Analysing the birth chart of the house) and Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny) have a common ground i.e. both can be matched to the Five Elements Concept.

3.4 For more experienced students applying Feng Shui; first and foremost know your element and strength i.e. in your case: Weak Earth element.

3.5 Next, apply Flying Star Feng Shui to check for imbalances (if any). For example, if a particular sector e.g. your bedroom has bad earth element and the cure is 6 metal coins.

If you are say a Weak water person, you can harmonise the bedroom (if you are single); add `water' element e.g. paint the walls blue or use `metal' to increase your weak water. (Under the Five elements concept: Metal helps water to grow).

But in your case, since you are a Weak Earth person; it is best to apply Flying Star Feng Shui FIRST. And if a particular sector or sectors have #5 or #2 (bad earth elements);

For example, if your bedroom has bad earth elements and you had placed a metal cure, it would be best not to help your `weak earth' in the bedroom by either adding Fire (Where fire helps earth to grow) or add earth elements.

"Unfortunately" those who are weak earth, has to be particulary careful in increasing your weak earth element (and inadvertenly upsetting the element balance of increasing bad earth in specific sectors).

It would be much easier if one's element and strength is Metal element, Water and Wood. However, for wood element, one has to content with bad wood.

4. Therefore, in order to piece the zig saw puzzle properly, one has to take each step in the right order.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
