Dear Anon (Hidden for Privacy),

I've been following your forum for sometime and have learnt a bit about Flying Stars and the five element remedies. Thanks for providing this helpful resource. But when it comes to actual application I'm not so sure and would like to have your valued opinion. Please bear with me and correct me if my understanding/questions was wrong/silly. Here goes :

With the New Tiger Year 2010,

1) the Five yellow flew to the SW bedroom with #7m, #7w,#4b natal stars. I used Yin water ( blue curtain) to counter the #7 stars. But with the arrival of the nasty #5 Year star, strong earth, I fear it might further strengthen the double #7s metal. My questions are

- will Yin water ( blue curtains) be sufficient to counter the strengthened #7s ? if not, what is the appropriate cure in this case ?

- Are the two #7 metal sufficient to control the Five Yellow or do I still need to place metal remedy- like the 6 metal coins or a dumbell at that location. If so, wouldn't the metal "cure" for the #5 further strengthen the #7s making it worse ?

- ultimately with such a combination of stars, the five element application becomes confusing ( at least to me). In such a scenario, what is the appropriate cure for both the #7s & #5.

2) the #7 Yearly star flew to the SE bedroom with #5m,#9w,#6b stars. Here both the #5m ( strong earth) and #6b ( weak metal) will strengthen the Yearly star #7. The dilemma here looks similar to  1) above. Will blue curtains be sufficient to control the much enhanced #7 ?  Is the (#6+#7) together strong enough to counter the (#9+#5 ) ? If not, would metal cure for (#9+5) adversely fuel (#6+#7) causing #7 to be too strong ?

By the way, this is a Period 7 HDB high floor apartment with an NE1 facing. I very much appreciate your time and effort to help enlighten amateurs like myself. Looking forward to your opinion and advice.

Thanks alot in advance !
