Hi Master Tong

Both me and my fiance are monkeys, we plan to register our marriage overseas in feb 2010, date not confirmed yet.

2010 is the year of tiger, however, if we register before 14 feb 2010 (CNY), does it means it is still within the year of ox instead of tiger?

Thanks
 
Hi Master Tong,

We have got a date but no timing.
Can you advise what time I should do the following:

1) Groom to brides house
2) Couple to reach grooms house
3) ROM

We intend to have it all on 16 Jan 2010

Below are our details:
Groom: Rooster (1970)

Bride: Snake (1977)
Bride's dad: Goat (1943)
Bride's mum: Rooster (1945)

Sorry I do not know groom's parents' details. Is it ok?

Thanks
 
Hi hellogirl,

As much as i want to help you in the area of general good dates, the Tong Shu is not out yet, so i will not know or be able to select general Tong Shu auspicious date for wedding for 2010 yet. Right now, the only way and also the right and accurate way of doing it will be using Bazi to select dates. FYI, a date reflected auspicious in the Tong Shu may still be bad for both of you if the date chosen is not compatible wtih both your Bazi.

As for Bazi wedding dates selection, it is part of my consultation service to my clients, hence i can't provide it here free in the forum or it will be unfair to my clients who paid for my service. Hope you understand.

If you have any particular date in mind, just post it here. I can advise you if it is a bad day as there are some days that are definitely bad and cannot be used for marriage; and some days that will clash to either of you or your parents, so cannot be used as well.
 
Hi Amy,

Here are some general Tong Shu dates you can use:

15/8, 03/10

These are the only 2 good weekends that don't clash. Note that these are general dates only. The Bazi is not taken into consideration yet and the date can still be deemded as inauspicious is the date is not compatible with the Bazi.

Hope this helps

Hi Kelvin,

Nice meeting you and Yan Lin too
happy.gif


Remember to try to book your banquet by end this mth or early next mth as the Tong Shu could be out any moment and after that, hotels get filled up really fast. Any problems feel free let me know

Hi Snowswan,

Here are some general Tong Shu you can use:

17/11, 18/11, 29/11, 06/12, 11/12, 23/12

Note that these are general dates only. The Bazi is not taken into consideration yet and the date can still be deemded as inauspicious is the date is not compatible with the Bazi.

Hope this helps

Hi bubbles,

No that is wrong. You got to register before 4th Feb 2010. The transition date between 2 animal sign is NOT determined by the Chinese New Year. That is a wrong understanding. The REAL transition date is based on the Li Chun (Beginning of Spring), which is the 4th or 5th Feb every yr. So if you register before 4th Feb, you will be safe and it is still considered year of the Ox.

I've actually wrote an article/blog on this topic at my website www.cmgconsulting.com.sg

Go to David' Blog -> 2009 -> January -> Are we now in the Year of the Rat or Ox?

Hope this helps

Hi Master Tong,

We would appreciate if you could advise us on the most suitable dates for marriage (out of the below) as per our animal signs?

1. 8 Jan 2011
2. 8 May 2011
3. 8 Oct 2011

Below are our details:
Groom: Dog (Jan 1982)
Groom's dad: Dog(1958)
Groom's mum: Cow(1961)

Bride: Rat(December 1984)
Bride's dad: Pig(1959)
Bride's mum: Cow(1961)

Thank you!
 
Hi dreamz,

Timing to fetch the bride will be 0900hrs - 1059hrs. During this period, the groom have to step into your house at 9am ("tekan" session will be before 9am), fetch you back to his parent's home and complete the tea ceremony by 10.59am.

ROM timing will be 1700hrs - 1859hrs. To be frank, this day does not have very good timing for ROM (unless you want to do it in the morning!). This timing i give you is not the best, but for this day, this is the best i can give coz the rest of the timings are not good.

And of course you can hold a gathering on 17th in your wedding gown, no problem with that

Hope this helps

Hi Michelle,

By the way, your HTB is not born in the year of the Dog. He is born in the year of the Rooster!! Give him a surprise later
happy.gif


1. 8 Jan 2011 - Does not clash to anyone
2. 8 May 2011 - Bad day for wedding. Avoid.
3. 8 Oct 2011 - Does not clash to anyone.

No. 1 & 3 does not clash to anyone. Note that these are not deemded to be an auspicious date yet as the Bazi is yet to be taken into consideration.

Hope this helps
happy.gif
 
Thank you for your reply. And what about 20 Sep 09 for ROM?

Our details:
Groom: Goat(1979)
Groom's dad: Horse(1954)
Groom's mum: Goat(1955)

Bride: Rooster(1981)
Bride's dad: Tiger(1950)
Bride's mum: Rabbit(1951)

Thank you!
 
Dear Master Tong,

I got this date from Tong Shu flipping.
Can you advise which date is good on week ends?

How should we get the best date and timing? Is it through bazi of the couple or must be from couple plus parents.

Thanks
 
Hi Master Tong

Can i seek your advise for the following;

My best friend (Bride) is getting married on 2 May 2010 and i am holding mine on 23 May 2010.

I understand that the usual practise is that we both can't attend each other wedding right?

As we are really good friends and don't wish to miss out any of ours. Is there any way we can prevent such curse? If we are also choosing each other as 'jie mei'.

Thank you so much!
 
Master Tong

Please kindly advise auspicious timing to fetch the bride on 05/12/09.

Groom - Goat
Groom Dad - Monkey
Groom Mom - Ox

Bride - Rooster
Bride Dad - Pig
Bride Mom - Snake
 
Hi Master Tong,

Groom - Pig
Groom's dad - Snake

Thanks so much!

Hi Master Tong,

Please advise if there are any Saturdays between 11 Sep 2010 - 29 Jan 2011 which will be good days to hold our wedding.

Groom - Rooster
Groom's dad - Goat
Groom's mum - Rat

Bride - Pig
Bride's dad - Horse
Bride's mum - Tiger

Thank you in advance!
 
Hi Amy,

20th Sep 09 is not a very good date for ROM. 21st Sept will be a much better day and clash to Pig. So if none of you are born yr of the pig, you can use this general Tong Shu day for ROM. It is Hari Raya Puasa on 20th, so 21st will be a public holiday

Hi dreamz,

That is coz you didn't really read the "full" information in the Tong Shu. What most people read is only the part "Good for Wedding", plus ensure no clashes, and they take it that the day is good for wedding. Actually in the tong shu, there are much more information that needs to be taken care of.

For eg, i agree that 16th Jan 2010 is good for wedding in the Tong Shu. It is stated in mine as well. However, did you realise somewhere in the Tong Shu there is a "chu" chinese character? This tells you the purpose of the day and what it is good for. So for "Chu", it is good for divorce, sack someone, quit a bad habit, go on a diet etc etc. It is not a day meant for wedding. So if you add in this additional layer of filtering, you will realise this is a not so ideal day after all
happy.gif
And remember, this is just a general Tong shu day and it is already so complicated! The Bazi haven't even take into consideration yet
happy.gif


To get the best date, you have to use the couple Bazi to do it. This will ensure that day is specifically good for both of you only and no one else.

Hope this clarifies your doubts

Hi May,

Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid this. And furthermore, both of your wedding are so close!

And to let you know, this is not part of Chinese Metaphysics, Feng Shui or whatsoever. This is purely a Chinese belief or superstition. Some people don't really care about it. So it really depends on the comfort level between both of you and your parents.

And to add on, though it is superstition, but no one in this world can really measure if this superstition is true or false. And since wedding is such an important event, i will still advise you to follow if you can coz it is not hard to go and being best friends, your should understand coz both of you are getting married
happy.gif
You can always give each other a hen's night or some partying to celebrate some time before the wedding to compensate for it
