Dear Angela,

1. Sector Feng Shui or what you have mentioned below is the common advise from some Feng Shui books.

2. Most of the time, these books (some which have been written since 1984 or earlier) commonly suggest improvement such as `glorifying' or "paying homage" to a corner.

3. For example, these authors have tried to make money by mentioning that e.g. that one should enhance i.e. our romance corner with say ... flowers or pictures of loved ones. And this can be applied in a home or in a bedroom, e.g. the South-West corner.

4. This concept or idea is based on the Eight aspirations or Life associations or Life aspirations i.e. where, each sector is (was) said to have a significance based on the Gua (Kua number) association at that sector.

5. Through time and from past messages or responses received from users in this forum and having met many people who had tried this but found no improvement.

6. It is in my opinion that sector Feng Shui or `paying homage' to a corner is not exactly an ideal method that can yield much success.

7. I like to share with you some of the more important considerations why sector Feng Shui may not suceed so well:-

7.1. In many of the past forum messages, I mentioned that Feng Shui is all about trying to increase one's `earth' luck.

Trying to find the elusive `wealth corner' as mentioned in your message below may not give one a decisive quantum leap in `luck'. For example, even the basic Gua (Kua) model has at least 8 sectors.

No matter how much one tries to improve luck to ONLY one sector, your luck is only 1/8 out of 100 percent of luck.

Thus, it may be a fallacy to try to e.g. purchase something (could be expensive) item of say $1,000 to improve this corner. But the end result is that one could perhaps, get back less than 1/8 of the above amount or less.

7.2 The most effective method is to apply concepts based on the Five Elements concept. This is where, the lowest common denominator of all Feng Shui (Flying Star analysis), Pillars of Destiny) is based on the Five Elements concept. And with proper understanding of one level up i.e. Yin and Yang concept are crucial to improve one's luck.

8. During this downturn or expected downturn, we should avoid spending unnecessarily.

9. If it is so easy to find a wealth sector, then why is it that no book has simply focused on this issue and nothing else. Even if one claims that there is a particular wealth sector; is this really true? What is thus so special to consider this particular sector the wealth sector?

10. We should apply FS sensibly and spending money on materialistic things or objects does not automatically grant us additional luck.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
