Hello Mr. Yap, My name is Tali and I've learned professional feng-shui in Israel. I have some questions regards feng-shui issues and I will appreciate if you could help me with them: I reviewed a building from period 5. The building has 4 flours and its environment is old and neglected. One apartment in the building has been massively renovated (replacing windows, flooring, plumbing and painting).The renovating last about 6 months, and during that time the owners did not leaved in the apartment – did the apartment change it's period or stayed in the building's period. How can we explained the phenomenon which in a house (period 7) the ruling star is not entering (there are no opening for it to enter) and still, the house prospering (from economic and status point of view). I have to indicate that 7(W) is entering from the apartment's roofed parking. When the owner entering the building she bring with her 3(W) and 2(M). When the ruling star is blocked or not entering the house from any opening, does the recommendation is to leave the house or to renovate it in order to change period and bring in the ruling star? Or in case that the available stars are 1(W) and 9(W) are entering the house, but the ruling star is blocked – does it's enough the house to manage properly? Thanks in advance for your patient Regards, Tali Mashav Tali.mashav@gmail.com

Dear Tali,

You've assessed the building using only Flying Stars. What is more powerful than Flying Stars is the Natural FORMS. Our environment. That's where Qi comes from. The FLying Stars is a beginnin assessment method. It main sees a "potential". But the REAL Qi comes from the natural external environment.

If the environment is positive, with "good" features, a property can have long prosperity despite the period luck. Likewise, if the environment is not good, then no matter how timely the Flying Stars are (including stars #8) can become negative. So the most important thing is to learn how to see the Forms.

By forms, I am refering to the way the environment works. And not just looking at the buildings to the left and right. We need to assess the quality of the mountains, contours, water formation and landform structure. This is called "Luan Tou" Feng Shui.

Warm Regards,
