However, the wall on which the painting is mounted happen to be in the West. (using the center of the whole flat as the anchor ). The door entrance is locate in the SW. I heard that it not good Feng Shui practice to have a painting of water hanging in the West Appreciate your advices and if this is true how can I alleviate the negative impact if the painting is to be hung there. Thank you. YF

Dear Master Joey, In these recent months, I had watched almost the whole series of the DVD on Fengshui for Home-buyer, XuanKong, Flying Star...etc. And there are some questions that had bothered me quite a bit. I started a small engineering business 3 years ago. The business was not performing until 2006, we had fengshui our office by a friend whom know a little about fengshui. Year 2004 to 2005 was bad, and in 2006 managed to achieve our business from loses to breakeven. We are located in a unit of a building built in period 6, facing 150 deg SE. We shifted in this office during period 7. There is fish tank install in the NE sector of the office. Immediately after this Chinese New Year, things began to get worst until now. Orders were cancelled, sales zero, appointment postphoned...etc. We were told that the "Five Yellow" flies to the NE sector and with our fish tank install there, it activated the "bad chi" of the "Five yellow". We are quite lost and hoping to seek some advice from you. We know, it may too difficult for you with just email, but we sincerely hope to see some activities with our business, and minimizing our debts. Thank you in advance for the advice. Regards Michael

Dear Joey Yap. I heard that one's must not simply change of new gas stove as changing of new gas stove is like moving into a new house where an auspicious date is required. Is that true? Do I need to choose an auspicious date to buy and to fix a new gas stove? Thanks

Hello, After reading a lot of Joey's articles, i'm a bit confused. I'm born on the 31st of January 1976 which happens to be the 1st day of Chinese New Year (Year of Dragon). Can you please clarify whether my chinese zodiac is Rabbit or Dragon and why is that so? Looking forward to your responce. Thank you. Regards, George Oh

A water feature with a spinning mortar is located right at the Northeastern corner at my terrace (roofless at this corner) in my apartment. Does this activate the 5 yellow as i understand 5 yellow is at this corner this year. Thanx.

In Bazi , you talk about a strong day master and a weak day master . Is there such thing as a neither strong nor weak day master . ie something like a Medium /Average day master . If yes , wouldnt it be the ideal day master , since it is neither strong nor weak , so I assume that all the 5 resources like wealth , resource, companion, output , influence, would be favourable and the Qi in that particular person BAZI would be ideally balanced ? Sometimes I think decoding a BAZI is subject to how we look at it , as there are so many possible interpretations . What might seem okay , ideal to you ,may well be interpreted differently as the 2nd person may put more weight on the other elements involved , especially the hidden stems . What about the heavenly stems , do they have less significance then the earthly branches or hidden stems . If so , why do we sometimes put more weight on the heavenly stems.?

I am born on Jan 13, 1954. According the the year I am a horse, but I have been told since I was born before the Chinese New Year (which usually falls end of Jan or in Feb), it makes me a snake. So what is my true animal sign? Thank you.

Dear Joey, I understand that year 2007 is the Fire Pig Year. However, i'm also reading news that it is also a Golden Pig Year. I thought the last Golden Pig Year was in 1971. Can you pls enlighten us on this whether is year 2007 a Fire or Golden Pig Year. Thanks.

Please I would be grateful if you could clearify if the location in the Northern or Southern hemisphere does change the interpretation of the various direction in the Feng Shui reading ? Not good to face main door North (Cold winter wind from Pole??) in Northern hemisphere. What about in the Southern hemisphere? Prehaps facing South? Cold winter wind from the South pole? Many F.S. experts do not seem not to take that into consideration? Considering the lopan was adjusted from the old world to the new world when the "original" Chinese moved from Akadia (Iraq) to China many (5-6??) thousands year ago??? Thank you.

Dear Joey, My house is 20 x 70, as such how do I make the 9 sectors. Do I divide them into 9 sectors, should I do it as in 9 equally square boxes or rather a bit rectangular ? Please guide. thanks. Regards, Das

Dear Joey, After reading your book on Destiny Code Revealed, and others, I would appreciate if you could clarify some of my doubts. In your book there seems to be more clashes than combination in one's life. Which will prevail if both appears in the same year? What does Zheng Yin Ge means to one's chart? Thanks. Chan
