Dear Miss Quiss,

1. I can understand your frustration in wanting to learn so much of FS and applying it.

2. Generally, many of us do not really need FS. In fact, my people, have been very (very) successful without ever calling in a FS practitioner.

3. What you have mentioned with regards to Traditional FS may not be totally true.

4. This is because, Traditional FS is not ONLY about Flying Stars and how these stars fly.

There are other aspects of Traditional FS such as Shapes and Form, which we read about and can apply to our home.

Here, Shapes and Form is used to analyse a home especially as a defense posture i.e. threats to the main entrance or living room.

5. In my opinion, many successful people, have very good homes (excellent Shapes and Forms) and prosper. And many people simply fall in love with their homes; and concentrate on their careers... Are doing much finer than those who, `worry' this or that.

Therefore, to say that Traditional FS rely only on flying stars is not exactly correct.

6. In many of messages, I mentioned, FS is all about trying to increase `LUCK'.

There are many forms or types of `LUCK'. And, within FS, there are various techniques and weightage ... which may help increase or bring down luck.

7. In Traditional FS, the chief forms of `LUCK' is:

7.1 Shapes and Form
7.2 Flying Star
7.3 Eight House
7.4 Correlation to Pillars of Destiny

I have elaborated in the past that if one has excellent Shapes and Form for the home, the weightage of LUCK could be in the factor (especially EXCELLENT Shapes and Form) can bring the LUCK already to 60 to 70 percent of the overall LUCK for the home.

Any additional increase, we want to do, can only bring in a marginal return of less than 40 to 50 percent more than the above.

8. One can still buy books particulary explaining the `Shapes and Form Feng Shui' but in my opinion, other books, may not be effective as it is not personalised to a person.

9. Books that ask us to enhance i.e. sectors i.e. mentor luck, career luck etc... may not be that effective... Many of these have hidden agendas such as making one buy material goods which is more or less decorative items and nothing magical about it.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
