Dear Kieren,

Thanks for bring up this interesting question.

1. In traditional Feng Shui cures, what is used instead is a 6 hollow rod, metal wind chime. For example which is made of brass.

2. Therefore, it would not be correct to use a 5 rod metal wind chime.

3. This can simply be explained (applying) the Five Elements Concept:

3.1 In the case of a 5 rod metal wind chime, this is not the correct type of wind chime to use (if we had located a #5 or #5 yellow).

Since the number 5 is already representing the earth element. 5 representing Earth should not be used to neutralise earth. It is like throwing earth to earth or "ashes to ashes."

3.2 The appropriate cure then is to use 6 rod metal wind chimes.

Here the number 6 represents = Big Metal

Where Metal (Big) is used to destroy 5 Yellow or 3 killings.

This is the effective cure.

4. Why then should we not introduce a 5 rod Wood chime is not appropriate. This is because 5 again represents Earth element.

5. If we intent or insists on using Wood chime than, in theory, we should use a 3 rod Wood chime.

6. Where the number 3 refers to Big Wood. Here, in theory Big Wood should be used instead.

7. However, if one appreciates Flying Star Feng Shui; #3 is not exactly an auspicious star.

8. And chances are, introducing such a wind chime may cause or aggrevate the situation further.

9. In fact, many times, sectors or several sectors may have problems relating to #3.

Therefore, the probability is pretty high or rather a high coincidence of aggrevating the situation.

Contrast this with a Metal cure. While a metal cure #7 is too small (where #7 = small metal).

Big Metal - or 6 metal is the BEST cure as it is considered as " The Mother of all cures ". Don't be mistaken that I am glorying metal but, if one knows Flying Star, it is the element to cure: Bad Earth #5, #2 and Bad Wood #3 and #4.

10. My serious concern is that in a Flying Star chart, it would be `littered' with #3 and #4 in various sectors. Worse still if unfortuantely, it is concentrated at one sector such as

#3 #4
#3

11. And one uses a 3 rod Wind Chime (Big Wood), one would have a `hell of a nightmare'. Sometimes even into calamity or death occuring.

Most of the good stars are metal stars, and if one properly enhances them with water, this would bring prosperity.

In my opinion, (generally) we should not use YIN (still/unmoving) water. We should instead use more vibrant water positions. Therefore, for me, I am not in-favour of using still water.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
