I digress a bit...talking about another aspect of Chinese Metaphysics.
Why? It's all related anyway. The recent years has seen a boom in the interest of feng shui particularly from a "put this here to kill this energy, put that there to increase wealth" etc etc point of view. While the industry has benefited from the exposure of these New Age ideas, many have also been confused (or tempted)! I won't talk at length about what feng shui is or is not here (just read any of the popular articles available in newspapers or books). I do want to talk about how feng shui has been the numero uno thing to turn to in terms of life improvement.
It's fascinating but perhaps not so...people would rather change their houses, doors and environments...BUT NOT THEMSELVES! It's IS kinda funny if you think about it....and soooo the human nature la! It's always so much easier to make external changes than to go thru the process of understanding oneself, coming to terms with our humanly flaws/weaknesses and then going thru the (often painful) process of improving our outlook, mentality, mind frame and behaviour. Thus, the boom of magical objects/trinkets that you can put somewhere that will improve your life overnight (tho i think in the whole scheme of things, this mentality may slowly be changing).
Anyway the gist is that it's always easier to change anything BUT oneself. But again, think about it....how do we improve our lives (and "luck") if we don't look into improving ourselves 1st and foremost? That's what something like NLP or BaZi or other "personality tests" are for! I'm a Feng Shui practitioner myself but friends, pls understand that Feng Shui is ALWAYS subservient to heavenly forces. No ifs, no buts. The best Feng Shui will not be able to produce miracles and anything out of scope from your life structure. Worse still, if carelessly applied, excessive "wealth activation" (a common term these days) can be downright dangerous.
The ancient sages intended for Feng Shui (as one part of the Chinese 5 Arts) and it's application to be used in line with the understanding of one's destiny. And surely not Feng Shui as any mind empowering object placement/feel-good type practice! Hey, that's what Man Luck is all about right (ie. mind empowerment etc)?

Usually Feng Shui is done for the general good of all occupants of the home, rather Bazi are more private as opposed to Feng Shui.
Its true, both need to be in place, but there's no right or wrong as to whether one can exists without the other.
On the other hand, with reference to your respond to me comments on the previous article, regarding time taken for the effects, preference of most would be something that is effective immediately.
Feng Shui, quick and easy..
Bazi, slow and difficult..
There is no right or wrong
Ok tks for yr comments. My responses:
1) Yes, BaZi is private to the individual. However, the most effective feng shui "treatment" should be tailor made to the individual. Remember FS used to be only for kings/rulers/emperors only. So you gotta understand the *individual's* life 1st before applying FS to get optimum results.
2) One's personal BaZi leads him/herself to his/her "natural" feng shui (without intervention from feng shui audit or similar). So no... 1st Life, then only FS. Hey, i didn't make up this ancient saying :)
3) Feng Shui can be fast but BaZi isn't "slow and difficult". It's difficult only when one doesn't wanna change! But the effects are far far mightier and esp. long lasting and more meaningful.
Right on again, that makes sense.. thanks. keep up the good work.
Interesting to know.
