Hey Kopitiam. If you were asking me, I don’t have the right answers for those two questions. But this I can tell you – feng shui has evolved much from a study on how to select the best places to build cities. It is now a study with the main purpose to benefit the occupant of a house. Some feng shui rules out there that I’ve heard, sad to say, is quite rubbish. Which is really why I created this blog. I’d like to use today’s science and experiences to challenge, dispel, or reinforce some of its rules.

Hey Kopitiam. Thanks for your Bazi example! What I’m trying to accomplish with this post is simply to manage some expectations, especially when people are being sold to or are buying on the premise of “luck”. And BTW, I love how you think – enjoy life and let it be!

In reply to Perisai Belang. May I also ask how an umbrella placed at the front door can block good chi and bring bad luck to the occupants ? Don't you think an suv will make things worse under the porch ? When the late founding father of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew was asked whether he believes in feng shui and astrology, he answered (quote) "utter rubbish !"

Hey Victor, if you are trying to clarify or define the meaning of luck, keep trying because like what H Choy and yourself have admitted, the meaning is always lost in translation due to language issue and may I also add different cultural background. I heard a very confusing I-Ching divination pertinent to the meaning of being lucky and unlucky from an old master. The spring hexagram eleven with earth sitting on heaven gives the image of heaven showering all blessings on earth. This simply means peace, happiness and prosperity. Spring is also the awakening and its chi is said to promise sunshine and plenty. Well my friend, here lies the confusion. To a newly married couple this is extremely auspicious and to someone whose father is suffering from terminal sickness this also means that the father will get well soon. However the old master said “don’t be too happy” as it can also mean that the father will be buried soon as the image is earth on top and father represented by heaven at the bottom. A marriage relationship between two self elements must have strong support to withstand the test of times. Unfortunately this is seldom the case because finding the right relationship with the wisdom from bazi is not only not easy but also very confusing and time consuming and is often replaced by looks, status and most important of all money. We can also argue that in this hypothetical case the married couple was deceived by hexagon eleven. Like what you said the real meaning of being lucky and unlucky is always lost in interpretations and according to Choy, a language issue. Well, my friend you can keep trying to till your world stop spinning and I guarantee you will not succeed in clarifying and/or defining the true meaning. Why think so much ? Better enjoy life yourself and do let “Whatever Will Be Will Be” – a very beautiful song by Doris Day in 1956.
