Date Selection practitioners, specialists, and students will finally breathe a sigh of relief when they encounter this compendium! Compiling and streamlining all the information from important classical Date Selection sources such as The Tome of Heaven and Earth (Qian Kun Bao Dian), The Heavenly Precious Calendar (Tian Bao Li) and most significantly of all, The Book of Unifying Times and Discerning Dimensions (Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu), this book will make Date Selection research and study that much easier. An integral and important part of Chinese Metaphysics, Date Selection has largely been overlooked in importance due to the vast amount of resources available on the subject. The compendium attempts to summarise and unify all this information in a clear and understandable format and presents it within organised, systematic tables and charts. This is the first reference book of its kind to attempt to tabulate all the Stars relating to all the Jia Zi (Year Pillar), specifically the Directional Stars, Location-based Stars, and the Year-Based Stars (Positional Stars). Its benefits are multi-purpose and varied, and can be applied to all systems of Feng Shui (including San He, San Yuan, Xuan Kong), all systems of BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny) including the Shen Sha systems and structural systems, Purple Star Astrology, and many other forms of Chinese Metaphysics. The highlight of this vast and comprehensive compendium is that you'll be able to refer to every Star that is associated with a particular Jia Zi (Year Pillar), and hence have at your fingertips the 60 Jia Zi Annual Stars. Some of these include: Annual Positive Stars for every Jia Zi (Year Pillar); Annual Negative Stars for every Jia Zi (Year Pillar); Annual San Yuan Purple White Stars; Monthly Purple White Stars; Mountain Covering Yellow Path Stars; Heaven Penetrating Force Stars; Qi Men Three Nobles Stars; Plenty more, including the 12-Month Auxiliary Stars Reference Table. Just like the other books in Joey Yap's Chinese Metaphysics Reference Series, this book presents all the key technical phrases and names in both English and Chinese. This is designed to facilitate students, practitioners and teachers in their study, research, practice and teaching of Chinese Metaphysics in its original form.

Most people usually fall under 3 distinct categories whenever Feng Shui is concerned; the enthusiast or relatively adept DIY practitioner who wishes to deepen his or her knowledge of Feng Shui, the sceptic who is beginning to see some 'light at the end tunnel' and those who are downright confused by the many purported complexities brought about by the advent of Feng Shui, which invariably contradict the authentic tenets of Classical Feng Shui! And regardless of category, it all boils down to one simple question: What is, and is NOT, Feng Shui? Indeed, the answer to this question is the key that will subsequently unravel and in fact, debunk, many a myth and misconception shrouding this metaphysical science today. With this in mind, Joey returns with "More Stories & Lessons on Feng Shui"! In this book, Joey shares with readers the many essential tips on Feng Shui that anyone and everyone will find useful and practical to apply. He starts by demystifying the many misunderstandings and myths surrounding Classical Feng Shui, before moving on to share his viewpoint on topics as diverse as the role -- or lack thereof -- of symbols and numbers in Feng Shui, to addressing more profound matters such as Yang and Yin House Feng Shui. This book ends with the author narrating his experience while taking his students to Walk the Mountains of China, in honing the latter's Feng Shui skills. In diversifying the topics in this sequel to cater to the avid Chinese Metaphysics enthusiast's thirst of knowledge, Joey also touches on other Chinese Metaphysical subjects such as BaZi (destiny analysis), Mian Xiang (Face Reading) and Yi Jing (The Science of Probability).

And with Feng Shui, BaZi, Mian Xiang and Yi Jing all thrown into one dish, there is something for everyone.
