Dear Anon,

1. A small family picture can be placed on one's work top. Or hung on corridors within the house. In my opinion, this does not directly influence the Feng Shui of the home.

2. Under Pillars of Destiny, one would need to know one's element and strength. For example, weak or strong earth element. From here than one can derive one's favourable, unfavourable and wealth element.

3. The Five Element's concept is all about balance and more advanced situations requires the use of one or more elements.

4. For example, under the Flying Star Feng Shui, if locations have `metal element' e.g. a double 7 (two metals), it can be combined with the introduction of water element into the location.

5. Here, metal with water combination is a good combination.

6. This type of situation is commonly used by Feng Shui practitioners.

Another example is of a landed property. If there is a lamp post slicing into the window of a house; a common cure is:-

Wood element Threat

the tall thin lamp post (can be made of any material e.g. wood or metal) represents the wood element because it is tall and thin. Much like the trunk of a tree.

Water & Metal element

The popular concept here is to use a fish tank with goldfish to counter the above wood threat.

Under the Five elements concept, you will find that the two elements introduced will create a productive flow:-

Where it becomes:-

Metal -> Water -> Wood

7. Under Pillars of Destiny, it is not good enough to know one's Year of birth and associated element e.g. earth element. This analysis is lacking in detail. True Pillars of Destiny analysis is done only after: the Year, Month, Day, Time, House of Life, House of Conception pillars are analysed for harms, punishments, double, triple combinations.

Else if this is not done, one will always end up in a vicious cycle of not really knowing one's proper true element and strength.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
