Question on BaZi Chinese Astrology Years

I am born after Chinese New Year in 1998, in February which I see on Google saying it's Tiger. However, when I use online calculators to look at my BaZi chart it says Ox.

What am I misunderstanding?

Help bed arrangement

Can someone help me decide whether if this is the right bed position or not? This is my current arrangement. I live in a very small apartment with only few things (some organized box) and a table and bed.

Mirror in bedroom able to see it in bed….

Have a mirror corner in my bedroom and there’s a slight reflection of the bed you can see while laying down. It’s doubled because the corner has two mirrors hanging up like a changing room … we are in the process of rearranging our room and just installed hanging rods for clothing to put on the wall (our closet isn’t big enough). Worried about the mirrors bc the reflection part of the clothing rack and can be seen from bed…was thinking about putting a wooden room divider thing …would that work if it blocks the mirror and bed from seeing each other ? Not sure how else to remedy this

Student dorm room for living + home office

Hello there,

This is how my dorm room is currently arranged. I do a lot of studying in here and I actually work from home, so I have two monitors on my desk. The closet isn’t movable and my printer is standing on the side table. There is a bit of space between the bed and the wall, as I have a mattress in between…

Have you got any recommendations for me?

Thanks!

How much should a regular session cost?

For context, a relative of mine was offered the price of $1000 for a 15-30 minute session (and any of these sessions would happen only once a year), depending how much changing and help they needed from this Feng Shui master. I'm suspicious over this, as their life barely have any significant (especially positive) changes and I often see them having small negative events here and there, leading them to have a depressing mood afterwards for a week or two. They even once offered me to pay for my own session to be scheduled at my place. Any thoughts?

The energy is this room is way off

How would you decorate this room to be more fengshui?

Since moving to this new home I've been having health issues, terrible sleep, and nightmares. I've rearranged it multiple times but I'm at a loss lol. The room is like a cabin and has all wood walls, very hard to lighten up and make it aesthetic. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! 😇 🫠

Where to put bed in this room for Kua 2?

The problems I have in this room are that there is a vent where I'd like to put my bed and a ceiling fan which takes up the whole room, the bathroom on the northwest wall, the neighbor's on the west wall, and a large window sill on the window so the wall is not flat.

Art/Console/Lamp Center of home (hallway)- illness

This wall is a part of the entry into the home (long hallway) and is the center of the house. I have been sick since we moved into this home. (Previously had a bench and shoes under bench here). Behind this wall is a powder room (yes I know that is very bad). What art would you recommend and what color for a console?

House hunting quick guide and dispelling misinformation.

Note: This post will be edited into the sticky post titled Useful information for new comers and beginners to Feng Shui. The point of this guide is to help potential home buyers not feel overwhelmed by all the problems and other do's and don'ts that are exaggerated by personas all over the internet.

House Hunting Quick Guide and Dispelling Misinformation

House hunting can be a daunting process, even before considering Feng Shui as part of the package. To dispel any and all misinformation from websites fishing for clicks or youtube personas pretending to be experts, here's a plain and honest guide to help you filter out the BS and apply measures to assess the essentials/non-issues.

Facing/Sitting Directions

As of Period 9 (years 2024-2043), main doors that face South, West, North-west, and North-east are decent options, but this does not mean that the other four directions are bad and must be avoided entirely. They can still be good with the right landform, or a few simple adjustments within the house itself. In fact, a "bad" facing direction with decent landform/adjustments could be better than any of the four "good" facing directions that are located in a bad neighborhood. Basically, pick any of the four good directions (S, W, NW, NE), but do not feel pressured to overemphasize its importance, especially not without professional guidance.

Near a Cemetery

A non-issue, as long as you're comfortable living near one. The oldest form of Feng Shui still in practice today is Yin Feng Shui, aka Feng Shui for the dead. This form of Feng Shui has nothing but respect for the deceased, and the aim is to hunt for the best resting place for them through a variety of geomantic methods. For this reason, cemeteries near your house do not automatically equate to being bad. Homes near cemeteries are known to slightly favour those whose professions or businesses lean toward the unconventional, e.g. night clubs, casinos, artists, and especially those bordering on the grey areas of the law. Outside of Feng Shui, some people may be uncomfortable living near the deceased, which may affect its selling price.

Near a School

A non-issue, but the noise may be an problem for some. Little concern from a Feng Shui perspective, but the noise pollution may affect its selling price, and is a negative for people with sensitive hearing.

Near a Hospital/Fire Station

Similar to being near a school, but usually avoided a bit more due to the stressful nature of such a location. As usual, selling price may be affected as a result.

House Numbers

Safe to disregard entirely. It's quite unlikely that a few numbers slapped on the front of a house will break the entire Feng Shui configuration that's been set up for you.

Tall structures directly in front of the main door

Tall trees, lamp posts, electric posts, avoid if within 20+ steps directly in front of the main door, but effects are generally milder the further it is from it. Even lesser if separated by a road or a body of water. Wall fencing is also an option.

Simple landforms that can improve quality of life

As of Period 9 (years 2024-2043), there are some simple landforms to lookout for regardless of sitting/facing directions that can improve the quality of life, not only for your own house but potentially the entire neighborhood/area that you're living in. Start by simply looking for large bodies of water (lakes, creeks, etc) in the North from where your house or neighborhood is located (NW or NE doesn't count). If not, or additionally, look to the South (and only South) for presence of mountainscapes. If there's neither, replace water with lower ground, and mountains with higher ground. If you live in a flat, urban environment, no need to worry either because you can still achieve a similar configuration right in your own home, e.g. placing swimming pool, aquariums, water features, or water-based plants in the Northern-most section of the house.

Fun fact: realtors sometimes check in with Feng Shui consultants for insiders on which cities/provinces/neighborhoods have the best potential for growth and in turn take advantage of the surge in property prices as a result.

Ending

If there's something you would like added to the list, please feel free to leave a comment in the sticky post here.

How does FengShui works for LGBT?

Fengshui follows energy and have things as yin and yang. For example, people display a pair of mandarin ducks or swan to bring romance to their life. The pair is always one male and one female. So how does it work for people part of LGBT? Just curious
