Master David Tong's Advice Corner (Geomancy and Fengshui)

Hi Master Tong,

We had been planning to get married next year but later heard that the tiger year is generally not good for marraiges for males born in the rooster year, and females born in the ox year - which is the exact combination of our situation.

Could we find out if there wld still be any dates suitable for our wedding cum solemnization in the year 2011?

We had originally been thinking of 1st Jan or 2nd Jan 2011 but are not sure if they would still be suitable and would be grateful for your advice.

Groom: Rooster (1982)
Groom's Mom: Dog
Groom's Dad: Horse

Bride: Ox (1985)
Bride's Mom: Rat
Bride's Dad: Dragon

Many thanks in advance.
 


Master Tong,
Thanks for the advice. I have another question regarding the dates - what is the difference between an auspicious date in the tong shu and an auspicious date from your bazi?

Also if you have a compatible date with your bazi but not on an auspicious day on the tong shu - does one take precedence over the other?

Thanks
 
Hi Master Tong,

We plan to ROM on 17 May 2011 and hold wedding dinner on 21 May 2011. Can you assist to advise if these are auspicious dates for us?

Groom: Monkey
Groom’s dad: Dragon
Groom’s mum: Goat

Bride: Boar
Bride’s dad: Rat
Bride’s mum: Ox
My email address is [email protected]

Hope to hear from you soon.

Many Thanks.

Bride's dad: Dog (1946)

Hi heehaw,

You need the following 2 pieces of info:

1) Bride and Groom's birthday AND time of birth (if any is missing, then it is not using Bazi to calculate your wedding dates..)

2) Both side parents animal signs (if this is missing, then how can he ensure the dates selected didn't clash to your parents?

>then another master actually advised us that >october is not a month to get married at all >(ROM and customary together) as it is an odd >number month in the lunar new year.

This is NOT date selection. Authentic date selection technique don't take into consideration lunar calendar AND most importantly, we don't care whether if it is odd or even months. This is based on "pan-tang" or chinese belief method of selecting dates, not the authentic way of using Bazi to select a date. Date selection is a form of astrology and science. It doesn't take into consideration our Chinese culture, beliefs, superstitions etc etc etc.

29th Oct clashes to Horse, and luckily none of you are born in Horse yr

It is not a general tong shu good date, but if the person that help you to choose really uses Bazi to select, then this date might still be useable.

Hope this helps

Hi Jacqueline Chia,

Delivery doesn't mean An Chuang. Delivery is just send a new bed to your home. You will leave it there in a haphazard manner till the An Chuang day, then you set the bed. And only for An CHuang,you need a good date. Not the delivery.
 
Hi Shuqin,

I am confused. Why is it that Tiger yr is not good for Rooster and Ox? I don't understand. Maybe you can explain the rationale or reason by the person who told you this?

2011 is a Rabbit yr and Rabbit and Rooster clash. 2011 will NOT be a good year for the groom to get married in! And by the way, Jan 2011 is still considered Tiger yr.

1st Jan clash with Dog, cannot be used.
2nd Jan don't clash but it is not a general tong shu good date for wedding.
 
Hi Lae,

Yes you are correct. An Auspicious date selected from the Bazi will override the tong shu.

The tong shu is not accurate. It is a general method of selecting a date only. It does not take both your birth data into consideration. Logically speaking, a tong shu can say this date is good for wedding, but how can this day be good for everyone in the world?

It is just like tong shu can say this day is a good day. But does it mean everyone in the world is making lots of money on this day? There are many who went bankrupt etc etc on this day too right? Everyday is equal. Some people are good luck on this day, while some are bad luck on the same day. And to find out if that day is good or bad for you, the only way is to use Bazi to determine it.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi Liyun,

17 May 2011 clash to Tiger (none of you).
21 May 2011 is not a good date for wedding. Avoid is possible.

However, for 17th May, i won't know if it will be a general tong shu good date as the tong shu will only be out in July/Aug period.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi fishToh,

Here are the analysis for your dates:

20 feb 2011 //Clash to Rat. Cannot use
13 mar 2011 //Not a good day for wedding
15 may 2011 //Clash to Rat. Cannot use.

Hope this helps

Hi Master Tong,
thanks for your advice.
29 october didn't invovle our parents' animal signs. but since it only clashes with horse, so does it mean we can still use it if our parents' signs are not horses? Groom's sister is a horse, does it matter?

anyway we paid for another master who said he doesnt need our time of birth. If that is the case, should we insist that he use it?

thanks!
 
Hi Master Tong,

Many thanks for your advice! Er..I don't think there really was any rationale behind what we had heard about the Tiger year, it was more that we had heard some friends mentioning it wasn't a very good year for our animal signs to get married, so we were wondering if it was true?

We are actually more keen for the date 1st Jan and were looking at 1st Jan 2011 and 1st Jan 2012, but i think Jan 2012 would still be in the rabbit year. Would you advise us to avoid the rabbit year completely then?

Could i also check with you if it would be correct to say then that if we wanted to get married in 2011, we would need to do it before the CNY in 2011? Would you be able to advise us on some suitable dates in 2011 if this is so?

Many thanks once again!
 
Hi Master Tong, thank you for your advice. May I know how do we define gd dates? My hubby is born in the year of Monkey and I am born in the year of dog. Is 24-27 Nov 09 gd dates for an chuan? Does it matter if it clashes with family members?

May i also know if guo da li is the same as an chuan? a gd date would do as long as it doesnt clash us and family members?
 
Hi Master Tong,

Could i please find out if 16th Jan or 29th Jan 2011 would be suitable for our wedding banquet and solemnization? (we are thinking of perhaps changing the wedding date to avoid the rabbit year)

Many thanks!
 
Hi Master Tong,

Can i check if 5 March 2011 or 12 March 2011 is suitable for our wedding banquet and solemnization?

Groom: Ox
Groom’s dad: Horse
Groom’s mum: Rabbit

Bride: Rat

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Master Tong,

I would like to seek your advice. Heard from the older people that tiger year is not a good year for marriage. However, i saw the chinese zodiac prediction in the newspaper and it mentioned that it is a good year for rooster and pig to get married. It also mentioned that for rooster, the wedding date should be on 'er yue', 'shi yue', 'ba yue' or 'si er yue'. For pig, should avoid 'tai sui yue' and etc.

My boyfriend and i happen to be this 2 zodiacs. If we want to get married in 2010. Could you please advise which are the suitable dates for us.

Also, as it mentioned it is a good year for us to get married. Does this mean that next year, it is not a good year?

Thank you for your advice and time.

Best regards,
Jesslyn
 
Hi Master Tong,

I Would like to seek your advice based on the following information.

Groom : Horse (1979)
Groom's dad : Dragon
Groom's mum : Horse

Bride : Dog/pig BD: 4th Feb 1983
Bridge's Dad : Tiger (Deceased)
Bridge's mum : Tiger

Does the date crashes with anyone. Please advise on suitable date as we had yet to sign on the ROM packages.

Thank you very much for your time and efforts.
 
Hi Master Tong,

understand the tong shu for dates after Feb 2011 is not out yet and will only be out in JUly/Aug period this year. Hence the only way to do it now will be to use Bazi to calculate.

Is ba zi good enough for the good date calculation? Cos i'm worried it will be too rush to start planning for a wedding in march 2011 if we need to wait for tong shu.
If ba zi is good enough, would like to make an appt to meet you. thanks
 
Hi Master Tong,

Thank you so much for your advice.

We have some dates already:
18 September 2011
12 November 2011
20 November 2011

Groom: Dog
Groom's Dad & Mom: Rooster

Bride: Dog
Bride's dad: Dog
Bride's mum: Pig

Please advice if the date are good dates for us?

Many thanks,
Michelle
 
Hi Mr Tong,

My wedding date is on 6 March 2010.

Can you advise on the time for the arrival of groom and by when the whole pick up of bride has to end?

Can i also have the An Chuan date?

Thanks so much
 
Hi Shuqin,

Yes Rabbit yr is not good as Rabbit and Rooster clash. Avoid Rabbit yr if possible. That is the "real" year that is not good for wedding. Tiger yr thingy is just "pan-tang", a superstition. Those born in Monkey yr will not be good t get married in Tiger yr.


If you looking at 2011, it will be before 4th Feb. Transition b/w 2 animal signs is based on Li Chun, not CNY 1st day. that is a huge misconception.

Hope this helps

Hi Jacqueline,

So long as your parents are not doing the An Chuang, clashes to them doesn't matter.

None of the dates between 24-27 Nov 2010 is good for An Chuang. Nearest wil be 21st Nov 2010.

Guo Da Li is sending of bridal gifts. Different from Ah Chuang. It is usually done about 1 month before your AD

Hope this helps

Hi fishToh,

27 feb 2011 //not a good date for wedding
06 mar 2011 //does not clash to anyone
20 mar 2011 //not a good date for wedding
27 mar 2011 //clash Pig. cannot use

Hence only 6th March is a potentially good date and don't clash. If you looking at tong shu good dates, we still have to wait till it is out to see if it is a general good day.

Hope this helps

Hi WenWen,

As much as i want to help you in the area of general good dates for year 2011, the Tong Shu for 2011 is not out yet, so i will not know or be able to select general Tong Shu auspicious date for wedding for 2011 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 kenshir,

That is not a general good date for wedding.

In Jan, the only weekend date that don't clash and is a general good day is 30th Jan 2011. Dates beyond this will have to wait for the tong shu to be out first before i can give you.

the only way to do it now will be using Bazi to calculate.

Hope this helps

Hi Master Tong,

Thanks for your advice! Would it be possible for you to reccommend us some general good dates for marriage in Jan 2011?

Thanks again!
 
Hi Master Tong,

Many apologies, forgot to add in my previous post. Would you be able to reccommend us some good weekend dates in Jan 2011?

Thanks!

Hi Master Tong,

1) Do I still need to consider my mother's animal sign if my parents are divorced?
2) As for the animal signs, should we consider the english/chinese calendar?
Because my MIL is born in January 1955(eng) so her animal sign is Monkey(eng) but Goat(chinese).


Thanks in advance.
 
Hi Jesslyn,

that is a superficial analysis only. to see if it is a good yr or month for marriage, you have to see the whole Bazi, not just animal signs alone.

For 2011, if you are born in rooster yr, then it is not advisable to get married that yr. else it is ok.

Hope this helps

Hi Paul Tan,

20/10 does not clash to anyone (clash Rooster). And it is a general tong shu good date. U can use this date if you are looking at just a general date (note that bazi is not taken into consideration yet)

Hope this helps
