Dear Tien Sze,

1. Before I answer your question, usually if a company hires us (geomancers) to do an audit, our first priority is to get the location for important areas e.g. reception, meeting room and CEO's office Feng Shuied to an optimium level. This usually also includes the location for Marketing/Sales and Finance/Accounting.

2. I can understand your constraint in that other than the CEO, or some Senior Managers, it is quite hard to change the direction of one's work area especially in an open office or if the building has a certain layout.

3. In quite alot of the messages posted under this forum, it is good to ponder over Three questions:

3.1. What is the aim or purpose of a concept?
3.2. What is it's strengths?
3.3. What is it's weakness?

4. I believe, many who read your message would also be facing similar problems to yours?

5. How do we then resolve this?

6. Your question/query is specific to the use of the Eight House or 4 East/West person's sector concept.

7. Under this concept, one must understand it's purpose, strenghts and weakness. THe weakness here is that, one cannot squeeze out more than what one can get of this theory.

8. For example, if you purchase a 4 door sedan. Don't expect that it can sit 6 or 8 persons comfortably. If you want a higher capacity car, then perhaps go for a larger MPV or even purchase a private van.

9. Similarly, one cannot squeeze out more of the Eight House theory. Since its purpose is to tell us how suitable the house is to the individual.

10. If you stay in a suitable house or work from a suitable location, fine. But if faced with similar situation, one can guess that there is NO CURE under the Eight House. Either one sits there or move out or (resign). There are no two ways about it.

11. If a house is not suitable to the owner, either if physically possible, change the door direction or MOVE OUT.

12. There is no other solution say, under the Eight House Theory.

13. The rationale here is that, one has met a DEAD END with the Eight House Theory. FULL STOP.

14. Since, what we want is to increase somewhat our luck, one has to apply additional concepts. And try to boost our luck in other areas:

Home - Good Shapes and forms and if compass school Feng Shui is used, try to optimize our luck further.

Ba Zi - knowing one's Ba Zi element e.g. strong water; weak water; weak fire; strong fire.... Here, one aspect is to wear clothings e.g. that suit our ba zi. Or try to harmonize the house colours to suit our ba zi.

15. We cannot therefore, try to bang our head against the wall and look for solutions from concepts that can't help us at all.

16. Ultimately, no Feng Shui expert can give anyone 100 percent assurance that what can or may work for majority of people, can or cannot work for others. Since, each of us face different situations.

But in many cases, our house (earth luck) has quite a signficant influence on our lifes. But the problem here is that no one lives in identical homes or have ba zi that completely matches a neighbour's. Simple things like a leak in a home can make the difference between the fortunes of different people.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
