Hi Juliana,

Just as i suspected...coz most of the good dates will be snatched up by now for 2009..what's left over are mostly the not so good dates...unless you are really lucky to find one hotel that you can overtake someone coz they haven't make their decision. There is still chance, coz some of my client do manage to find one and it is a weekend somemore! However, if you really want to do it in 2009, i suggest doing on weekdays or weekends lunch. Much higher chance this way.

Hope this helps

Hi David Tong,

Me and my hubby are applying for new flats at punggol but the feng shui master that my mother-in-law used told her that punggol is not good for my hubby.. But we really want to have a new flat at punggol instead of a resale flat which is so expensive now.

I would like a 2nd opinion on this issue. Can you advise me whether I can go ahead to get the punggol flat or really to listen to that feng shui master and to give up on the punggol flat? Or any ways to overcome it instead?

Thank you so much.

Hello Master Tong, how are you?

I need a date each for my:
(1) marriage registration in March and
(2) wedding in September

What info from me would you need in order for you to
(1) advise me when is a good day/date for these wedding events of mine, and
(2) if a date that I picked for each events works?

I read that some readers give you their date of birth, animal signs (for themselves and their parents), with or without a date (for ROM or wedding) for advice. Is that all that you will need?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Master Tong,

I read in your earlier posts that since Tiger year clashes with Monkey, it's not favourable year for Monkeys. Also the Mang Nian factor as well.
Both my fiance and I are of Monkey sign. We had plans to get married in Ox year initially.
Then we considered that his elder brother is getting married in this ox year so we heard that it is not wise to clash.
Can you advise if any of our concerns are unfounded?

Hi R&J,

You don't have to worry or stress over this. Feng Shui is meant to enhance our life, not to make life difficult for us! You can go ahead to buy the flats in punggol. What is most important is that the feng shui of that unit itself must be good.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other concerns.

Hi californian bride,

Are you referring to 2009 dates?

For general Tong Shu auspicious dates, yes, those are what i need. However, the accurate and correct method will be to select dates using Bazi and that requires the time of birth of the couple as well.

Hope this helps.

Hi jules,

Yes, normally siblings are advised to get married one year apart (ie 12 mths). However, some cannot wait that long and therefore "cheat" by holding their wedding in 2 different lunar years. (eg one in Dec 08, the other in Feb 09).

For Monkeys, generally you are advised not to get married in Tiger year as it clashes. If you really have no choice but have to do it in Tiger year, then at least make sure your ROM is not in the Tiger year as ROM is more important coz it is the day both of you legally become husband and wife. The AD is just a tradition and a dinner (unless you hold your ROM and AD on the same day).

Hope this helps.

Hi Melvin,

17th April 2010 clashes to Rabbit, which is you.

26th April does not clash to anyone of you, but 29th clashes to Rabbit as well.

Therefore 17th and 29th are not usable.

For 2010 general Tong Shu auspicious dates, the Tong Shu is not out yet. It will be out sometime in July. I will only be able to advise if the dates clashes to any of you. The only way and authentic way to do date selection now will be using Bazi. A good day stated in the Tong shu may still turn out to be inauspicious for both of you if the day doesn't match your Bazi.

For Wedding dates selection using Bazi, it is part of my consultation service to my clients. In order to be fair to them who paid for my services, I will not be able to provide them here. Hope you understand.

Hope this helps

Hi HCKT,

20th Sept is not an ideal date for wedding purpose. If you can, advisable to choose another date for it. 21st Sept will be a better date and it clashes with Pig. So if non of you are born in the year of the Pig, you can use this general date.

For 2010 AD dates, the Tong Shu is not out yet and will be out sometime in July. The only way and authentic way to do date selection now will be using Bazi. A good day stated in the Tong shu may still turn out to be inauspicious for both of you if the day doesn't match your Bazi.

For Wedding dates selection using Bazi, it is part of my consultation service to my clients. In order to be fair to them who paid for my services, I will not be able to provide them here. Hope you understand.

Hi David,

I heard that wedding dates should not be on the same date as both parents or siblings birthday. Is this true? Is there anyway to overcome this problem?

Need your advice desperately! Thanks

Hi Crazelil,

This is just an "urban legend", Chinese belief or superstition, whichever you call it. In Chinese Metaphysics, there is no such rule for wedding dates selection.

If you are not comfortable with it, just avoid that day. It is not hard to do and it is just one day

Hi David,

Thanks, I feel more relieved now.

Everybody is happy with the date except for my FMIL. She's worried that it'll "chong" with FH's bro. So she wants my FH to carry a piece of ginger around on AD to ward off any unlucky things which we found it funny.

Thanks again for your reassurance!

Hi crazelil,

Unfortunately, there are a lot of misconception about Feng Shui in the market today. It is often mixed with Chinese culture, tradition and even seen as a form of superstition or religion...some even thought it is "pan tang" or simply all about expensive crystals and jades!!!

Feng Shui, in its purest form, is both an art and a science. In fact, what many do not know is that Feng Shui, Bazi and Date Selections are all a form of Chinese Astrology. There are formulas on how we derive our calculations. Everything has a basis or logic in it. It is not something plucked from mid air.

To me, all these must be corrected and differentiated. Science is science. Chinese belief/culture is belief/culture. They are 2 distinct field of knowledge and practice. Of course as a Chinese, I do respect our Chinese culture and belief. Which is why I always make it a habit to tell both sides of the story to my clients, so that they know what is the real thing and what is Chinese tradition/culture/beliefs.

Hope this helps

Hi Xiufang,

It is not strictly a must to choose dates for GDL. ROM and AD will be more important. But as Chinese, we are more kiasu. If we can choose, why not choose all good days for everything since marriage is such an important event
happy.gif


The tradition is basically much the same, except some will want to carry the roast pig on the GDL or AD day. Whatever type of gifts to be exchanged, end of the day, it really depends on what both side parents want. There is no strict rules to this, so don't stress over it. If both sides parents don't want anything, so be it. It will not bring any harm to your marriage

Hi Master Tong,
Thank you for your advice abt clashing with sibling's wedding in the same year.
My situation is this, if i try to avoid ox year, the next year is tiger year, and tiger year clashes with monkey (both of us). So does it mean I'll have to wait for Rabbit Year for the actual day wedding? Actually we hope to solemnise and do the traditional rites all on the same day.
Could there be good days for us even in Tiger year if we look at bazi?
Thank you!

Hi Master Tong,

Will like to seek your advise if year 2009 or 2010 will be more suitable for me and my bf to get ROM & AD. I read before in some article that people with animal sign, Dog should avoid getting married this year and some elders mention that tiger year isn't suitable for marriage. May I know if it is alright for me and my bf getting ROM & AD this year or next year, and which year to avoid holding AD if we don't hold it within this year or next year (based on our animal sign).

Our birthdays, animal signs and our parents' animal signs are as follows:

1) Bride
Birthday : 3 Oct 1981
Animal Sign: Rooster

2) Bridegroom
Birthday : 17 Apr 1982
Animal Sign: Dog

3) Bride's parents
Dad's animal sign : Dragon (deceased)
Mum's animal sign : Horse

4) Bridegroom's parents
Dad's animal sign : Rat
Mum's animal sign : Tiger


Thank you so much!

Hi jules,

Yes, generally you are right that you have to wait for the Rabbit year. Of course, in real life, there might be constraints such as your case or for some, they require to get ROM asap to produce the marriage cert to HDB etc. In this case, the only thing you can do is to select a very good date in the Tiger year for your ROM/AD and a good timing for the signing of ROM documents. If you select using Bazi, you will still be able to get a very good day specifically for both of you. Of course i can't say this is the perfect solution since the year still clashes to your animal signs, but this is the best we can do given all the constraints. Take it this way, if we cannot hit 100 marks, at least we try to achieve 75 marks or above, rather than fail, which is 50 or below

Hi Hui Yun,

Both of you should avoid the Rabbit year and Dragon year for marriage. So if you don't get married by next year (Tiger yr), you will have to wait for another 2 years!
happy.gif


You can get married this yr or Tiger year. All you need to do is to select an auspicious date for it based on both your Bazi.

To determine which is a better year (2009 or 2010), the animal sign alone is insufficient. The whole Bazi has to be taken into consideration.

Hope this helps

Dear Master David Tong

We like to seek your advice on whether January 2010 will be a suitable month for bf and me to do our traditional wedding. I understand that we might have to marry in the year of Ox as the year of tiger is bad for my bf and me. We can’t hold a traditional wedding before November as he is in States. As such, we are looking at late December 2009, January 2010 and early February 2010 (before the year of tiger).

Our birthdays, animal signs and our parents' animal signs are as follows:

1) Bride
Birthday : 20 October 1980
Animal Sign: Monkey

2) Bridegroom
Birthday : 16 January 1980
Animal Sign: Sheep

3) Bride's parents
Dad's animal sign : Rat (1948)
Mum's animal sign : Rabbit (1952)

4) Bridegroom's parents
Dad's animal sign : Pig (1947)
Mum's animal sign : Pig (1947)

Kind regards
Miwa

Many many thanks in advance.

Hi Miwa,

Actually 2009 is not a suitable year as well because you are born on in the year of the Goat, and this yr is the Ox yr, so it clashes to you. Ideally, you should wait till Rabbit year (2011). But of course, I know that is a long long wait...so let me know your decision and i will try to find some general dates for you.

These are the only 2 dates available as the rest clashes to either of you or your parents.

Hi Miwa,

Rabbit will not clash with Monkey or Sheep, not to worry.

Here are some general tong shu dates you can use (note that these are very general days. it can still be bad if it is not compatible with both your Bazi).

- 05/12/09, 13/12/09, 17/12/09, 25/12/09, 31/12/09, 17/1/10, 29/1/10, 07/02/10, 11/02/10

Hope this helps

Hi Wendy,

For 2010 general Tong Shu auspicious dates, the Tong Shu is not out yet and will be out somewhere around July/Aug period. As such, i will only be able to advise you the general Tong Shu dates when it is out.

Right now, the only way to do it (which is a more precise method and also the correct/authentic method) is by using Bazi to select your wedding dates. However, this is part of the services i provide to my clients, so i can't do it here in the forum or it will be unfair to my clients who had paid for this service. Hope you understand.

Hi Master Tong,

Both me and my bf are born in year of pig. Is Yr 2010 a good year for us to get married?
We understand from a shifu that its not advisable as next year will be tough for both of us as Tiger "eat" Pigs. Would appreciate if you can advise.

Hi Sherlyn,

You can get married in year 2010, not to worry. All you need is a good date for it.

Tiger "eat" Pigs??? Actually, Tiger eat almost ALL the animals in the 12 zodiac signs, maybe except Dragon...so everyone cannot get married in Tiger year? And if someone happen to have an animal sign that is "eaten" by everyone else, then he or she cannot get married in his/her entire life?
happy.gif


This is definitely not true. There is totally no logic in this. Date selection is an astrological system. There are systematic techniques to derive and calculate a good and auspicious date. It is not based on our own Chinese beliefs, urban legends or hearsay (means "who and who said ...") to derive a date.

Worse still, some people uses the Lunar calendar to calculate an auspicious date, based on our chinese beliefs and culture! This is wrong! All Feng Shui, Bazi and Date Selection uses the "Wan Nian Li" or the Ten Thousand Year Calendar, not the Lunar Calendar!

I hope this clears up your doubts Sherlyn. And have fun preparing for your marriage

Hi David

Kindly advise which are the suitable dates for us to get married this year, ie. ROM?

Understand Year of Tiger will crash with our animal signs, are we still able to hold chinese customary/dinner in 2010? or must we held it this year?
Many thanks for your valuable advice.

1) Bride
Birthday : Jan 1981
Animal Sign: Monkey

2) Bridegroom
Birthday : Jan 1975
Animal Sign: Tiger

3) Both parties' father and mother are born in the year of Rooster & Dog respectively.

Also, it is alright to crash with my immediate cousins who are having chinese customary at end of this year?

10Q once again.
