Dear Mr.Joey Yap , 1 . Is it inauspicious to have a water feature ( above ground water fountain ) in the SOUTH sector which represents FIRE ? I am a WEST person Kua No.7 - my Main Door faces SOUTH and I have a water fountain in front of the door - as well as water fountain in the SOUTHEAST and SOUTHWEST ( the latter to tap the Indirect spirit ) 2 . Is it OK to have an Iron safe in the SOUTHWEST corner of a room which is in the SOUTHWEST sector of the house ? Or should it be shifted to the Wealth corner SOUTHEAST of the romm in the SOUTHEAST sector of the house ? 3 . I am an EARTH RABBIT born on 6th July 1939 at 6.30 p.m. - If I did not convert my Period 7 House to one of Period 8 , will I suffer financial loss throughout period 8 as I have been experiencing since the start of period 8 . Shall be very grateful for your kind and early reply to my queries . Thanking you Yours respectfully , Dr.Y.Muthupalaniyappan . p.s. I have bought & read your book on Ba Zi Pillars of Destiny , but am unable to understand my 4 pillars destiny chart -mainly how to interpret my luck .

Dear Dr. Muthu: (1) water is not normally allowed in the South sector but you can use it for this year only (2005) as the annual star 8 resides there. [Water does not clash with the Fire palace - misconception]. While the SE and SW are okay for water, you still have to see what kind of facing stars are you activating there, based on your natal Flying Star chart. It's not true that you need more water features for money - place your door correctly. (2) SE is NOT the 'Wealth corner' - you can place your safe anywhere practically safe. No Feng Shui signifigance. (3) Not true, don't worry - Being born in the Rabbit year does not mean anything by itself. There are millions of Period 4, 5, 6 properties in the world. I'm sure they're still doing fine. It's not true that all houses should 'renew' the Period. Misconception. Just seek out the facing and sitting stars 8, 9, and 1 - use them accordingly. Cheers!
