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

Hi meihui,

Using Bazi to select a date is insufficient. Theere is no need to wait for the tong shu to come out. By the time it is out, it is too late if you are gonig to book hotel banquet for weekends.

When we meet, i will explain and show you why tong shu is not accurate and basically it is a "have better than don't have" kind of date selection.

Hope this helps

Hi michantz,

18 September 2011 //not a good month for marriage. Avoid.
12 November 2011 //Does not clash to anyone
20 November 2011 // Clash to Rooster. Avoid

Hence only 12th Nov does not clash. Whether if it is a good date or not will have to wait for the tong shu to come out if u looking at general dates.

Hope this helps

Hi Master Tong,

Thank you for your reply.
If that is the case, will you be able to advice if 2011 is a good year for us to get married?
Here goes the info:
Groom: Dog
Groom's parents: Both snake

Bride: Ox
Bride's dad: Ox
Bride's mom: snake

Rgds,
Jazz
 
Hi heehaw,

Siblings and grandparents are not taken into considetation. Only parents and both of you. So long as none of you are horse (and if you looking at general dates only), you can use it. Note that a good date in the tong shu can still be deemed inauspicious if thedate is not compatible with both your BAzi.

If a master uses Bazi to calculate the dates, he has to use the time of birth. If time of birth is not taken into considetation, he is not using Bazi to calculate.

Why? Coz Bazi basically refers to a person's year, month, day and hour of birth

Hi Leo,

If divorced, but if he still attend your wedding, then you have to consider.

Animal sign is not determined by english or lunar calendar.That is a huge misconception. It is based on 4th/5th Feb, the Li Chun. This is fixed every year. If you re born before 4th/5th feb, you are the animal sign before. If born after, it will be the animal sign after.

For eg, this yr 2010, if a baby is born on 6th Feb, he/she is considered Tiger, not Ox (though CNY is on 14th Feb).

Hope this helps

Hi Jazz,

Since none of you are born in Rooster yr, 2011 is ok for you to get married in. All you need is a good date.

But to fine tune and see which yr is better for marraige, i have to see the whole Bazi to determine, not just animal signs alone.
 
thanks master tong for your reply.
i called the fengshui master a few times to ask him about using birth time but he insisted that for marriage dates it is not necessary. looks like i have been taken for a ride.

will you be able to advise on how to get a timing to fetch the bride and bk to the groom's place? what other timings must we tk note?

thanks!

Hi David, (1) the wedding date given to us by another master is 19 March 2011; but we'd like to hold the Chinese dinner on 20/3/11. From your earlier post it seems that 20/3/11 is not a good date. Is it ok to hold only the dinner on that date? (2) We have friends celebrating their weddings etc near our wedding date. Can we attend their wedding and vice versa i.e. is there a timeframe to avoid "white or red" events? Does this apply to both family and friends? Many thanks!
 
Hi hee haw,

I can't comment too much on what he does, but if you've fixed your dinner banquet etc, i guess you can't change the date without penalty.

Btw, he didn't provide your with a fetch the bride timing? hmm..

For 29th Oct, the fetch the bride timing will be 0700hrs - 0859hrs.

It means the groom have to reach your home about 0630hrs, play games and gatecrashing session, and step into your home at 0700hrs (or after). He will fetch you to his home and complete tea ceremony with his parents by 0859hrs. After which, going back to your new home or to your parents home for tea ceremony is NOT within the auspicious timing. No timing is required for this.

Hope this helps

Hi Wan Yi,

Either yr will do as it don't clash to your animal sign. But to determine which is a better yr, unfortunatey, the only way to determine will be to check both your Bazi to determine

Hope this helps

Hi Leo,

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 greenplanet,

Here are some general tong shu dates you can use:

- 18/09, 14/11, 18/12, 26/12

I can only find 2 dates in between your range, hence i provide you the dec dates as well.

Note that Bazi is not taken into consideration yet as a good date in the tong shu can be turn out to be inauspicious if the date and bazi are not compatible

Hope this helps

Hi daylily,

This date clash to Rat, and none of you are Rat. And this is a general good date for wedding. hence if you looking at only general good days, this is ok.

Hope this helps
happy.gif
 
Hi kiang,

Only 18/12 can be used and is a general good day and don't clash to any of you (clash Monkey).

Note that Bazi is not taken into consideration yet.

Hope this helps
happy.gif
 
Hi wenwen,

Only the following 3 dates are "potential" good dates. They are not good dates yet, just that they don't clash to any of you.

22nd May 2011, 5th June 2011, 12th June 2011.

Bazi refers to your birthday and time of birth. Hence dont have to wait for anything to be out if you want to calculate 2011 dates. You can do it now. By the time the tong shu is out in July/Aug period, it will be too late to book hotels for weekends dinner banquet. I've already got feedback from clients that the Feb/Mar 2011 dates are pretty tight now for some hotels...
happy.gif
 
Hi ST,

20th March is not a good date for wedding. I dont recommend it. Have you booked the 19th March date? I hope you haven't coz that is a very very bad date for wedding. It is a "po" day plus a month and year breaker day both together!

Normally 3 months before and after your wedding, you cannot attend other's weddings, funerals and child birth. parents can attend, only both of you.

Hope this helps

Dear Master Tong,

Oh only 2 dates within my range.
Thanks a lot for the Dec dates reference as well.
Is there any dates for Jun/July?

Initially I was confused that some dates that show up in a Chinese lunar flip calender as good,
but when I check a online site
it says not good.

Your words help a lot.
Thanks and appreciated.
 
Dear all,

I will be conducting a "Feng Shui & Chinese Astrology Talk for 2010" on the 8th Feb next Monday at Novotel Clarke Quay. This is held together with CMC Markets. Admission is FREE. Seats are limited based on first come first serve basis. If you are keen, check out my website www.cmgconsulting.com.sg for registration details.
 
Hi green planet,

This shows only 1 thing that I am trying to tell everyone. The tong shu is not accurate!!!
happy.gif


One tong shu can say one date is good, and another say that date is bad. There is zero consistency! And in any case, the tong shu by itself is not accurate and i've actually posted a detailed explanation in a thread here some time back. U may want to do a search to find it.

To really get a good date, you have to use Bazi to select. Tong Shu is like "got better than don't have" way of selecting a date
happy.gif
 
Thanks for clarifying.
I'll do a search on that thread.
Yes, it's really like what you said "got better than don't have"
happy.gif

I only come to know of this tong shu thing recently.
Is there any general good dates in Jun/July too?

Thanks.
I will likely come attend your seminar.
 
Dear David,

Would like to hear your suggestions on very generalised 'ok' dates on 2011:

Here are the zodiac animals:

Groom : Horse
Bride : Monkey

Groom's Dad : Goat
Groom's Mum : Monkey

Bride's Dad : Horse
Bride's Mum : Monkey

We are only thinking of all the weekends (that is sat and sundays in Feb 2011),
that will be 5,6,12,13,19,20,26,27 Feb.

Kindly advise which is the date that doesnt clash with anyone above.

Thanks so much
 
Hi Master Tong,

How about 19 or 26 Mar 2011 for ROM & banquet?

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

Bride: Rat
Bride’s dad: Goat
Bride’s mum: Monkey

Thank you!
 
Hi Master Tong,

I need your advice on my dilemma:

Both my brother and I wants to get married next year. We are 7 years apart and we plan to get married at least 4mths apart (eg. My elder brother wedding on May 2011 while mine is on Nov 2011).

Heard brothers cannot get married within the same lunar year.

Is it true?

Thanks again.
 
Hi Master Tong,

Can my auspicious dates for ROM (As for Banquet, either same day or next day) be 23 Oct 2010 and 29 Jan 2011?

Groom : Rooster (21jan1970)
Bride : Snake (may1977)

Groom's Dad: Deceased
Groom's Mum : Rat

Bride's Dad : Dog
Bride's Mum : Horse

Thanks.
My email is [email protected]
 
Hi Leo,

According to Chinese belief, siblings should not get married on the same year (ideally 12 mths apart). If really no choice, some "cheat" by doing it in different calendar yrs. And if you really must do it same yr, do it at least 3 months apart (this is the "by left" method that you only use when really really really no choice!
happy.gif
).

Hope this helps
