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

Hi Master Tong

Thanks so much for the advice.

Is it possible to suggest weekend dates for second half of the year 2010?

--------------------------------------------------

Hi macadamia3050,

April is Qing Ming, period, so generally that period is avoided for marriage purpose.

For March and June 2010, here are the dates:

- 03/03, 08/03, 10/03, 22/03, 05/06, 17/06, 29/06

Note that these are general dates only. Both your Bazi are not taken into consideration yet. A good date in the tong shu can still be deemed inauspicious for both of you if the dates are not compatible with both your Bazi.

Hope this helps

Hi lahgal,

Yes, parents'zodiac signs MUST be taken into consideration. Clashes could mean that next time relationship with parents after marriage is not good, so the date selected must ensure they will not clash with parents.

Hope this helps

Hi lovee,

Sure no worries. I welcome all qns

1. I am thinking of holding my daughter's first year old birthday (she is born in 19th jan 2009)in january either 16 or 17th jan 2010. can you advise which date is good to do so? do you need my family's zodiac? just in case: husband snake 1977, elder son rooster 2005, myself horse 1978.

>>> Both these dates are not very good dates. A better weekend date nearest to her birthday will be 10th Jan. However, if only 16th or 17th, then 16th will be better.

2. you mentioned before that it is better to buy resale flat than BTO flat? if we are getting a resale flat, at what point of time must we invite a fengshui master to see the house? cause i am a bit new here. is it that we take the floor plan and location of the flat and let the fengshui master sees?

>> Floor plan alone and estate plan cannot determine if a unit is good or bad. It is insufficient. The feng shui master MUST go down to the unit to determine if it is good or bad. From the estate plan, we can determine which block is better using landforms feng shui, but for the individual unit itself, there is no short cut solution except to go to the unit to determine.

Usually the way to do it will be that you can see the units first and shortlist those that you like. And arrange a date with a master to go down to see those units and see which is the best. Most importantly, the master must be able to tell you WHY that unit is good or bad (ie how it will affect the occupants if they stay there in the long run, such as wealth, health, relationships etc etc). And in a language that layman can understand, not just using some Chinese idioms or metaphors or Feng Shui technical jargons that layman will not understand. If they do it that way, frankly, how you know he is not "smoking" you? Anyone also can do that, right?

Is there any way we can sees whether a new condominium or flat that has not been build yet is suitable for our family?

>> We can "estimate" based on the floor and estate plan. But in reality, sometimes the compass directions drawn on the estate plan may turn out differently after it is constructed. A little difference can make a lot of difference in feng shui. Hence, yes we can do it, but "estimate" only and we still need to verify once it is built. We can also eliminate those that is 100% bad units according to the directions, landforms and other factors. I think this will be more useful.

I have invited a fengshui master to take a look at my flat before, and he said the house and our "ming" is not compatible. i was greatly disturbed by his words and is considering to shift house, but this time, definitely must get one suitable for us.

>> this is too vague. did he elaborate more? In what aspects such as wealth, career, health, marriage? Every house will affect you in some way, good or bad. By not compatible, we must also know why it is not.

Hope this helps

Hi Ping,

Here are the analysis for your dates:

8 May - Not a good day for wedding.
29 May - General good tong shu date for wedding.
10 July - Clash to Rabbit. Cannot use.
24 July - Not a general tong shu date for wedding
11 Sept - Clash to Horse, cannot use
16 Oct - Not a general tong shu date for wedding
26 Oct - Clash to Rabbit. Cannot use.


Hence only 29th May can be used. Note that Bazi is not taken into consideration yet.

Hope this helps

Hi Lindy,

You can do so for 2011 now. I've already selected for many couples for 2011 dates, so this is the right time to do it. For 2012 dates, it is still early but i will start to do so next month onwards to give everyone an added advantage over others to book their dream wedding venue in advance (if the venue allows) and beat the competition

Hi master tong, i am truely grateful for your patience in answering all my enquiries. I will take up your advice and celebrates my girl's first year old on 10th jan.

thank you so much.

So it is still better to get a resale flat then cause the fengshui will be more accurate? but i always have a concern with resale flat is that we do not know what have happened to the previous owners of the house, and the reason for them to shift...(due to deaths, bad luck or what), thats why I prefer a new one. Will a fengshui master be able to tell if the house has bad histories before?

May I know your charges for house viewing?

Hi Master Tong,

Can I ask you whether siblings zodiac is considered when calculate good dates?
Besides zodiac, is the lunar month of birth of parents/bride/groom important to consider?
If i am interested in Bazi calculation of wedding dates, but my husband-to-be do not know his birth timing, am I still able to calculate?
Please advise.

Planning to have customary in year 2011 May onwards. Read that 2011 Tong Shu is out. Able to advise any weekend dates are suitable dates for us? Appreciate your reply soon! Thank you!

Bride: Dog (chinese lunar month - Sep)
Groom: Goat(10/08/1979, chinese lunar that year has 2 Junes)

Bride's Dad: Rabbit (chinese lunar month - Mar)
Bride's Mum: Monkey (chinese lunar month - Jun)
Bride's sis: Rat (chinese lunar month - Aug)
 
Hi lovee,

You are welcome

If we are looking at Feng Shui perspective, resale units or leftover new units will be better. All feng shui have to be done on site, hence we need to enter the unit/house. From floor plan we can estimate where the spot will be good (ie which block etc), but unit wise, still have to go in physically to see it to be more accurate
happy.gif


Yes of course. Feng Shui masters will be able to tell past histories of the unit. Death could be due to different reasons. If it is caused by bad feng shui of the house, a feng shui master should know just by seeing the house. If it is due to destiny of the previous occupants (eg passed away due to old age), then we will not know unless we see their Bazi, which is not possible

For the fees, can you drop me an email at [email protected] ? I will provide you with more info. Thanks.
 
Hi Xue,

All the dates you listed are general tong shu good dates for wedding and will not clash. Note that Bazi is not taken into consideration yet. If you looking at only general dates, then any of these dates you listed is ok.

For 2011 dates, as much as i want to help you in the area of general good dates, 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 lahgal,

The list of dates i provide here are general good dates from the tong shu only. If it is specifically good for both of you or not, the dates have to be calculated using both your Bazi. Tong shu itself is not accurate and provide a general guide for mass consumption only.

If you looking at just general dates, here are some you can consider:

- 12/09, 24/09, 25/09, 06/10, 20/10, 23/10, 04/11, 12/11, 13/11, 14/11, 25/11, 08/12, 18/12, 20/12, 26/12

Hope this helps

Hi luvyvel,

Siblings zodiac signs are NOT considered in the calculation of wedding dates.

>Besides zodiac, is the lunar month of birth of >parents/bride/groom important to consider?

This is NOT considered as well. Date selection uses Solar Calendar, not the lunar calendar. Your birthday and time of birth will be "translated" into Bazi, which is based on the Solar Calendar (Wan Nian Li).

2011 Tong Shu is not out yet. It will only be out next year around 7th month period. Only the 2010 tong shu is out.

To select 2011 dates now, you have to use Bazi to select.This is the right and authentic way of doing so. Using tong shu is for mass consumption only and provides very general date. A good date in the tong shu can still be considered inauspicious for the couple if the bazi doesn't match.

Now is the best time to selct 2011 dates. When the tong shu is out in 7th lunar month next yr, most of the hotels will be more or less quite packed.

Hope this helps

Hi Master Tong,

My bf and me are preparing for marriage next year. We've got our ROM date confirm in Jan 2010. Now I'm in need to get dates for guodali, anchuang and customary (actual day). If we were to look for you, where can we look for you? We are actually thinking of this weekend....
 
Hi Master Tong,

My bf & I are planning for ROM between Oct 2010 to Feb 2011, preferably on Sat. Would like to seek your advice on the dates that suit us.

Groom : Pig (23/8/1983)
Groom's Dad : Snake (Jan 1953)
Groom's Mum : Goat (Sept 1955)

Bride : Ox (16/8/1985)
Bride's Dad : Rooster (Jan 1957)
Bride's Mum : Dog (May 1958)
 
Hi Master Tong,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I will like to have the Bazi reading as what you have mentioned. Able to email me the package details and the cost? Thanks!
 
Hi Yvonne,

Here are some Sat dates you can use:

- 23/10, 18/12.

Only these 2 saturdays available. The rest of the good Sat will clash with you.

Note that these are 'general' dates only. Both your Bazi is not taken into consideration yet.

Hope this helps

Hi Master Tong

I'm having this big headache about 'An chuan'. My fiance and I had recently bought a flat and we are thinking of moving in this month-end and had bought our bed which cost abt $3K. Then we were told by both parents that if that bed is gonna be our wedding bed, we can't sleep on it at all till after our wedding. The problem is, our wedding will only be in Dec 2010 and it would be inconvenient for us to sleep elsewhere. Is there any way we can avoid any future problems for the both of us? I heard from my colleague that we can sort of do some stuffs just before our wedding, like changing new bedsheet, etc. Is that possible? We greatly appreciate your advise on this.

Also, is 23 Dec 2009 a general good day for moving in a new house? If you need our signs, they are: Guy - 1981 (Rooster), Gal - 1984 (Rat)

Thank you in advance.
 
Hi Master Tong,

Please kindly advise what are the good dates in 2010 which are suitable for weddings.

We prefer a sat in the month of Sep, Oct , Nov or Dec 2010.

Bride - Pig
Bride`s parents - Tiger and Rabbit

Groom - Horse
Groom`s parents - Tiger and Rooster

Thank you for your help
 
Hi Master Tong,
Is it true that one should avoid being the jie me of another couple within 9 months of own's marriage? or is it 9 mths after the wedding?

If A's wedding is in Feb and B's wedding is in May (3 mths after), can B still be A's jie mei? When it's B's wedding, can A still be B's jie mei?
Thank you very much.
 
Hi juzgurl,

Yes normally according to Chinese customs, you should not sleep at all on the new bed till your wedding day. What most people will do is to buy a portable mattress and sleep in the guest room or other rooms, till your wedding day (ie if you move in early). This is the normal procedure.

As this is just a chinese customs (not feng shui or Chinese Metaphysics), it is really up to your comfort level if you want to follow. If a person's destiny is not meant to have kids, even if you do An Chuang perfectly and get 100 kids to jump on the bed, she will still not have any kids
happy.gif
It is just a symbolic meaning.

Since most elderly believes in this, it is still best to follow to please them.

20th Dec 2009 is a general good date for moving in, not 23rd Dec.

Note that this is general date only from the tong shu. The house direction and both your Bazi is not taken into consideration yet. Authentic way of calculating move in date has to take all these into consideration. Move in and Start of reno dates from the tong shu has very very low degree of accuracy, and most of the time it is wrong.

Hope this helps

Hi bubblygirl,

Here are some 'general' 2010 Sat dates you can use:

- 18/09, 25/09, 23/10, 18/12

Note that Bazi is not taken into consideration yet and a good date in the tong shu can still be considered inauspicious for both of you if that date is not compatible with both your bazi.

Hope this helps.
 
Thank you Master Tong! You have really clarified my doubts! So meaning to say so long our wedding's 3 mths apart we can attend and be each other's jie mei. =)
 
Hi Master Tong

My wedding date falls in Nov 2010 while a good friend of mine is have his wedding in Dec 2010.

Will there be any clashes if I attend his wedding or he attends my wedding? If yes, what does the clash mean? What is the likely impact or outcome of the impact?

There are any ways to attend the wedding yet avoid the clashing?

Thanks in advance

Hi Master Tong,

Just want to find out does it mean if a couple's bazi clashes means they will definitely divorce or have an unhappy marriage? How do we actually know if the bazi clashes?
