Dear Allison,

Under Traditional Feng Shui, the two major schools used are:

1. Shapes and Form
2. Compass School (Eight House & Flying Star)

In my opinion, the most accurate Feng Shui is the use of (Para 1 and 2) in combination with one's Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny) - in particular one's element and strength.

3. This is what is know as Ba Zi Feng Shui. It is widely used system as it is considered the most accurate. As it not only takes into account " Feng Shui " of the house but it also takes into account the persons who intent to live or are currently living in the house.

4. For a start, the key word is `protect, protect, protect'.

You should stand at your main entrance door facing outwards of the house. Do this i.e. standing at all the windows of your house and look for poison arrows or sha qi.

Here, look out especially for e.g. a lone lamp post slicing thru your main entrance door. Or a pointed object such as the sharp angle of another building pointed into your home (main door) or windows).

5. You should also try to understand more about Shapes and Form Feng Shui. For example you can look thru the various topics on this. For the interior, also such as the good placement of beds, furniture and what to avoid e.g. overhead beams etc...

6. For the `lucky' few who live in homes that have `excellent' Feng Shui. Here, if your Shapes and Form of the environment, the site and home - can be interpreted as able to retain wealth... and if this happening...

Then, I consider this a Quantum leap in Feng Shui. Where your earth luck is on the high side e.g. 70% to 90%. Where wealth comes naturally. And one do not need to go searching ( " Like mad ") to get it.

7. For the less fortunate "souls", may have to try to squeeze out as much luck as we can get out of it. And this is where, the majority of humanity starts to find the illusive `wealth'.

8. Here, the Compass School Feng Shui such as Eight House is used. And more often the Flying Star Feng Shui is used MOSTLY to try to neutralise bad sectors (first) and then it is used to look at sectors where we can activate to bring in or squeeze further luck.

9. Overall, as mentioned earlier, your building has on it's own it's Feng Shui. And the Feng Shui of all units within this block.

10. For an individual apartment, such as yours, you can also check out your individual unit's Feng Shui. As mentioned, reading up on Shapes and Forms and applying it. (Protect, protect and protect) if necessary.

And if you want to go further, than use the Compass School methods etc.... If you are applying Compass School Feng Shui; then you need to find the `center-point' of your individual unit and from there; take a compass reading from this center-point to the main entrance door.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
