thank you master tong for your great advice.

lol.. for my case, my younger sister is born in year of rabbit so she will not be able to play games in the morning. but i have good friends who will be my jie mei so my HTB will not be able to skip the gate clashing part.. lol :P
 
Hi Master Tong,

Is it true that if the main door of a HDB flat is facing NW and the door is facing a slant wall, it's not good?

I heard that this will create a 'yin' area.

Appreciate your advice.
 
Thank you Master Tong.

On the dates that you mentioned 29/9 & 30/9 is generally good dates (not specifically good for me).
Does it means that i can't choose these two dates for my AD.
Anyway i have emailed you further on the wedding dates selection vs eternity wedding package.
Will contact you from there.

Thnks
 
Hi Master Tong,

Groom - Monkey 1980
Bride - Rooster 1981

Groom Dad - Cow 1949
Groom Mom - Horse 1954

Bride Mom - Snake 1954 (Jan, before lunar new year)

Thanks & Best Regards

Hi yuzu,

haha there is another way to do it so that your younger sister can "play games" as well. She will hide as normal, and when the groom steps in, she will come out, and she can block the door to the birdal room where you will be waiting. So she can play the "second round" of games and yet can fulfill the "hiding" part

Hi Bk,

This is not true. For Feng Shui, you have to look at the whole house and furthermore, why is it that facing a slant wall will create a 'yin' area? If the area is bright, then it is not "yin" anymore. This is too generic to determine if the area is too yin, so not to worry.
 
Hi Lynne,

The dates I provided here are general good dates only. Whether if it is specifically good for both of you is determined by your Bazi.

For eg, it cannot be that if the tong shu states that a day is good for marriage, then the whole world is good for marriage? This is too simplistic. For eg, Tong Shu can state that a particular day is very good for all important activities. Does it mean everyone will be earning millions on this day? Unfortunately the answer is no. There are a lot of people losing money etc on this day. So how do you explain this using Tong Shu? It is suppose to be good for everyone!

The answer lies in each individual's Bazi. From a person' Bazi, we are able to tell if a particular day is specifically good or bad for him/her, regardless of what the Tong Shu says. In other words, we can see if a date is compatible with the Bazi. This explains why on the same day, some people are doing well and some are doing badly.

So coming back to marriage part, the logic is the same. But slighlty more complicated coz we are looking at 2 person's Bazi and trying to find a good day that match BOTH your Bazi for wedding purpose.

Hope this clarifies some of the doubts for everyone who is reading this thread.

Thanks for your email

Hi Melissa,

This is a general good day and it doesn't clash to any of you. If you are looking at only a general good day, then this day is ok for you to use it.

Hope this helps

Actually we are planning to have the wedding in the Philippines so the CNY tradition is not practiced by all the families except for those really traditional ones.

We are now trimming down our options and are considering May 9 (no clash) as well as Feb13 (hope no clash).

Hi Master Tong,

Me and my bf thinking of to have our AD in year 2010. Do you think 2010 is a good year to get marry as some said Tiger year not a good year.
Below are the details:
Groom: Monkey (Aug 1980)
Bride: Pig (Dec 1983)
Groom's father: Pig
Groom's mother: Rat
Bride's father: Goat
Bride's mother: Rabbit

Greatly appreciate your prof advise...
Thank you.
 
Hi Master Tong,

My AD is 1 Nov 09, me and my bf are year of dog. What would be the auspicious time to fetch bride and any particular time I should reach his place?

We also have 2 friends who are gettting married. One couple is 2 months plus before us, another couple is about 2 weeks before us. Heard about the luck clashes. We are very good friends, I suppose we still have to attend. As such, wonder if we don't give one another angpows would it minimise the luck clash or any other ways?

Many thanks in advance.
 
Hi 2009_gal,

As the groom is born in year of the Monkey, it is not advisable to get married in 2010 coz it clashes. 2009 or 2011 will be a better year.
 
Hi fel_tinkle,

The auspicious timing for fetch the bride will be 9am-10.59am. He will have to step into your house at 9am, fetch you to his home and complete the tea ceremony with his parents by 10.59am. After which, going back to your new home or your parent's home for tea ceremony is not within this timing.

According to Chinese beliefs, 3 months before and after your wedding, you are not suppose to attend each others wedding, funerals, wakes or child birth. Whether to give or not to give Ang Baos does not help in minimising of luck clashes.

In any case, this is just a Chinese belief or superstition. From the perspective of Chinese Metaphysics, there is no such thing. Hence, if you really want to go, just make sure both sides of your family are ok with it as most parents do mind about it.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi Master Tong,

My HTB and I were planning to have our wedding next year. However, we heard that next year is Tiger year and would not be a good yr to get married. Moreover, my HTB animal sign is Monkey and think it clashes with the Tiger sign next year. So we would like your advice if the animal sign clash will affect?

Would it be better to use animal sign or bazi to choose date/yr to get married?
 
Hi udee,

Tiger year is not a bad year for marriage. It will only be a bad year if your animal sign clashes with it, which is Monkey. Hence, not advisable since your HTB clashes with Tiger.

Date selection does not involve using animal sign alone. That is only the first criteria. Date selection can be done using Tong Shu or Bazi. Tong Shu dates are very general and i provide them free here. A date reflected in the Tong Shu as auspicious can still be deemded inauspicious for both of you if the date selected is not compatible with both your Bazi. Put it this way...common sense tells us that it cannot be that if a date reflected in the tong shu as auspicious, then everyone in the world is good for marriage on that day? this is way too simplistic. Every day there will be someone good and bad. And to determine if a person is in good or bad luck on that day, the Bazi has to be used.

Hence date selection using Bazi is the correct and right way to go.

Hope this clarifies your doubts

Hi Master,

thanks for your promot reply.

Let us do some scheduling first and will consult you if we need more help.
 
Hi Master Tong,

2010 May 1, 8, 15 and August 7.

Our details as below

Groom: Snake
Bride: Pig

Groom's Father : Cow
Groom's Mother : Cow

Bride's Father : Mouse
Bride's Mother : Monkey

Thanks in advance!
 
Hi Master Tong,

Would like to seek your advice on the following:

1) If Monkey (Groom) clashes with Tiger in 2010 and would not be a good year to get married. In that case, do we still need to look at both of our Bazi to pick a good date in 2010?

2) Or does it mean there won't be any good dates in 2010 as Monkey clashes with Tiger and therefore looking at our baizi would not help.

3) If 2011 is a better year, when would be a good time to look into the baizi? Do we have to wait till 2010 or we can do it now to check for both 2010 and 2011?

4) Any idea if there would be any clashes for 2011 based on the below signs?

Groom: Monkey 1980
Bride: Goat, 1980

Groom's Father : Snake
Groom's Mother : Monkey

Bride's Father : Goat
Bride's Mother : Cow

Thank you.
 
Hi,

I would like to check if 29th May 2010 is a good date for customary & wedding dinner.

Bride: Pig, born 29th May 1983

Groom's father: Horse
Groom's mother: Rat

Bride's father: Horse
Bride's mother: Tiger

Thank You!!
 
hi master tong,

would like seek your advise on the following:

1) is having rom date being choose base on bazi as important as that with the actual date customary wedding? or not so much important for rom dates to be selected base on tong shu?

2) my partner and i are considering to rom in 2010 before the tiger year. many have said that tiger year is not so much advisable. likely rom date to be 31 jan 2010 for the following horoscope:

partner and i:dog

partner's father:horse
partner's mother: roaster

my mum: rat

3) do we need to consider siblings horoscope as well for rom date? or even actual day customary marriage?

thanks alot for your advise

Hi LY,

Sure no problem. For your dates:

1/5/10 - Not a good day for wedding
8/5/10 - Not a good day for wedding
15/5/10 - Doesn't clash to any of you
7/8/10 - Not a good day for wedding

Hence only 15/5 is a day that doesn't clash to any of you.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi Aisle,

To answer your qns:

1) If Monkey (Groom) clashes with Tiger in 2010 and would not be a good year to get married. In that case, do we still need to look at both of our Bazi to pick a good date in 2010?

Yes you still need to. I always believe we control whatever we can control. What is beyond our control, there is no point thinking about it. If you really have to do it in 2010, at least we still have to choose a good day and time for it. The yr may not be right, but at least a good day and time will compensate for some of the inauspiciousness.

2) Or does it mean there won't be any good dates in 2010 as Monkey clashes with Tiger and therefore looking at our baizi would not help.

There will be good dates still. But generally, clashing of the yr is one of the very first criteria of selecting wedding dates.

3) If 2011 is a better year, when would be a good time to look into the baizi? Do we have to wait till 2010 or we can do it now to check for both 2010 and 2011?

You have to do it now. I've already started to select 2011 dates for a lot of couples so now is the best time to do it to beat the competition. U are guaranteed of your ideal banquet venue if you do it now. Soon, 2010 dates will be filled up and everyone will be going for 2011 dates.

4) Any idea if there would be any clashes for 2011 based on the below signs?

2011 clashes to Rooster, so if both groom and bride are not rooster, all you need is a good day to get married

Hi rina,

This day will clash to Rooster, which is none of you.

As for whether if it is a general good date, I will have to wait for the tong shu to be out first.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi Eva,

To answer your qns:

1) is having rom date being choose base on bazi as important as that with the actual date customary wedding? or not so much important for rom dates to be selected base on tong shu?

Yes, selecting of dates for ROM using Bazi is VERY important. In fact, ROM is more important than AD. There is always this misconcpetion that AD is more important. This is only true if you do AD and ROM on the same day. In the olden days, there is no such thing as ROM. Everything is done on the AD day. Hence that day is very important. Now, we have ROM. And ROM is the day both of you become legally and officially husband and wife. The AD date is just for tea ceremony and banquet. Hence, ROM will be the more important one. A good day and also a good timing to sign the ROM papers is very important.

2) my partner and i are considering to rom in 2010 before the tiger year. many have said that tiger year is not so much advisable. likely rom date to be 31 jan 2010 for the following horoscope:

31 Jan is a general good day and doesn't clash to any of you (clash to Pig).

May i ask what is it that you've heard that says that Tiger yr is not good for marriage? I want to know what you've heard coz there are 1001 stories about how bad Tiger yr is. At least i can answer directly towards your doubts in mind
happy.gif


3.) do we need to consider siblings horoscope as well for rom date? or even actual day customary marriage?

The answer is NO. Only both of you and your parents needs to be taken care of. Siblings and grandparents need not be considered.

There are only 12 animals signs. If both of you, plus your parents, plus let's say you come from a big family with 6 siblings, and all of you have different animal signs, then you don't need to get married forever coz every sign clashes

Hope this helps.
 
hi master tong,

thanks for all the information.

lol, ya tt's true if everyone needs to be considered of.
happy.gif


tiger year are usually said to be more fierce etc, for the case of giving birth. though not too sure if its applicable for case of tying knot. elderly will usually comment on try to avoid the year for any thing. not too sure if it's true.
 
Hi Master Tong,
thank you for your reply.

Can I ask if you know the chinese date for 29th May 2010?
I heard that marriages are not favourable for chinese 4th, 6th and 7th month.

Thank You!!
 


hi master tong,
from my understanding, rabbit clashes to rooster and tiger clashes with monkey. so does tat mean, i cannot have rabbit and tiger as jie mei since i am rooster and my HTB is monkey? or does wat u say still apply? (before HTB enter hse get them to hide then they can come out once he step into the hse)
