Peter Yap | What Happens When You Combine Glass Doors with a 45° Wooden Tilt
In recent years, many modern homes have adopted a design trend where the main entrance consists of a straight 3-panel glass door combined with a wooden door tilted at 45°, both installed along the same wall. While this may look stylish and unique, what does Feng Shui say about it?
Peter Yap | Tracing the BaZi Signs of Sudden Change
In October 2022, she was struck by a sudden and unexplained illness. Despite consulting doctors, no effective treatment could be found. Her health declined noticeably—her eyesight weakened, her hair thinned, and her energy dropped compared to before. Later in the same year, in November, she also lost her job.
Through BaZi analysis on her own, it became clear to her that her luck cycle had turned unfavorable as early as 2008, and she has been navigating challenges ever since. Naturally, she now wonders: Will my health improve soon, or must I wait until 2028 for a better cycle?
Peter Yap | The Role of the 12 Zodiac Animals and Earthly Branches in Feng Shui

Peter Yap | Date Selection with Master Dong Gong and Chinese Almanac Tong Shu 通书
Our Chinese Almanac is narrower and stricter than a traditional Tong Shu (通书) because it incorporates Master Dong (董公择日) date selection. While a regular Tong Shu offers broad guidance for daily activities, our almanac focuses on highly auspicious dates for major life events like weddings, moving, or signing contracts. By combining traditional astrology, Feng Shui principles, and Master Dong’s precise rules, we provide reliable, carefully filtered dates so you can plan important occasions with confidence.

Peter Yap | The Role of the 12 Zodiac Animals and Earthly Branches in BaZi
In our main guide to the 12 Earthly Branches, we explored how they connect to Zodiac animals, symbolism, and Feng Shui. Yet in BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny), the role of the Branches runs far deeper. Each Branch holds hidden elements and interacts dynamically with others, shaping a person’s character, relationships, health, and life path. Far from being just symbols, they are living forces within the BaZi chart, revealing patterns of harmony, conflict, and timing that influence destiny.
