There were just too many things that Joey Yap taught in his seminar which I could not share here as I did not manage to write them all down! So I will just stick to the most important stuffs that you need to know.
Firstly, these are the two extremely bad sectors that you need to avoid in 2011.
EAST SECTOR - This is the most negative sector of the year. The dreaded Five Yellow flies into this sector causing all types of bad luck, misfortune, loss of wealth and health hazards. If your bedroom is in the East sector of your home, move out!
Does this mean you can ask your maid to move into the room in this sector? By all means, no! If your maid suffers misfortune, don't you think you will be more or less affected by it as well?
The Grand Duke (Tai Sui) also reside in the East sector (more exact is East 2) this year and as such, it is even more important to avoid staying or spending too much time here. Absolutely no renovation, drilling, nailing and ground breaking in this area or face the consequences!
By the way, you don't have to believe anything written here. Feng shui does not need one to believe for it to work. Just do the exact opposite of what is advised in this post and test it out for yourself! Go ahead and do a huge renovation in the East sector of your home this year (anytime from Feb 4th 2011 till Feb 3rd 2012) and let me know what happens in your life.
WEST SECTOR - This sector is afflicted by the Three Killings which will cause accidents, robberies, health problems and other complications! Avoid renovation or ground breaking at this area at all costs!
This West sector (more accurately West 2 sector) is also afflicted by the Year Breaker which effects can be worse than that brought about by The Grand Duke! If possible, move out if your bedroom is located in this sector.
Talking about the Grand Duke (Tai Sui), it is important that you do not face the East when working or negotiating with others. Yes, please carry your compass or iPhone (which contains a compass - how nice!) around so you know you are not facing East when doing negotiations or you will surely lose!
Instead, putting your back to the Grand Duke (ie. facing West) will help you have greater support and let the other party face East instead. In this way, you almost surely have the upper hand! Haha!
As for the Three Killings, it is important to face it head on, in other words, face West! Never allow the Three Killings to be behind you (ie. you facing East) or you will suffer the consequences! All the more important that everyone must take note to face West and not East this year!
Now, since East is the worst sector this year, what would you do if your front door is in this sector? Or worse, your front door faces East? Well, Joey Yap advised that you should manipulate the space in the front door area by having a partition or wall to block the incoming energy so that when you enter the door, you either have to turn right to SouthEast sector or turn left to NorthEast sector. This is how you can turn bad energy into good energy!

So what are the good sectors in 2011? They are as follows:
NORTHWEST - Auspicious wealth luck and good prospects for career advancement reside here! If your main door faces the NorthWest, you will have good fortune in 2011! Having your bedroom or study room in this sector is also very good.
To activate the good energy in the Northwest, simply use this sector as often as you can! If there are windows and doors here, open them to let the good energy in!
Now here's a joke from Joey Yap that kept us in stitches! What happens if your maid's bedroom is in this sector? Your maid will get all the good luck instead of you! So how? Well, you have two choices - either you get your maid to move out of the room or you move in with the maid! Haha!!
Since NorthWest is such an auspicious sector, what happens if you have a toilet here? According to feng shui master Lillian Too, this will be very unfortunate as all your wealth will flush away! However, Joey Yap has a different opinion. This is what he said - if the toilet is in the wealth sector, use it more often to activate the energy there!! Haha!
Nowadays, a lot of houses are not built in a rectangular form. Some houses (example L shape houses as shown below) have missing corners. So what happens if your house's NorthWest sector is missing?

According to Joey Yap, this is not good and you cannot rectify it by placing mirrors on the outside walls like what some other feng shui masters recommend. The only option you can try is to activate other good sectors instead.
So here's a very important tip for house buyers - always buy houses without missing corners. During the years where the bad sector is located at the missing corner, it is good for you, but during those years when the wealth sector is at the missing corner, then you will be missing all the wealth!
If you have a retail store, placing your cashier in the NorthWest sector will help your business a lot!
Likewise, if you are working for someone, it is good to work in the NorthWest sector of your office or workplace.
SOUTHEAST - Staying in the SouthEast sector will increase your capabilities, and attract more income to you! Those who want to move up the corporate ladder, increase support from bosses and improve your network of helpful work acquaintances should spend more time in this sector. You can also activate this sector using water element. Joey Yap advised that the water must be substantial in size, and exposed, not covered.
NORTHEAST - Activating this sector will attract noble, helpful people into your life. For people without goals in life, activating this sector will actually bring noble people to inspire you! Having a study room or bedroom or even dining room in the NorthEast is excellent this year!
By the way, if you activate both the NorthEast and SouthEast sectors, you will get recognition in your career!
SOUTHWEST - This is the peach blossom sector, so activating this area will increase your chances of finding a good life partner! However, it also increases your likeability, so for people in marketing, activating your SouthWest sector will be good for you!
Now, here's a summary of what to expect in 2011, the year of the Metal Rabbit.
Water element industries such as transportation, tourism, sales and fast moving consumer goods will fare well in this year.
Fire element industries such as IT and telecommunication, petrochemicals, airlines and mass media will also do favorably well and can expect a stable outlook this year. Oil prices is expected to rise slowly and steadily.
The property industry, being an Earth element, can expect the market to slow down a little this year. Therefore, it is advisable to be a little conservative when it comes to property investment. Invest for the long term and not for short monetary gains. For equity, cash out as soon as you gain. In currency investment, do not invest in yuan (China currency).
Public spending and consumption is expected to increase this year.

With Metal chopping Wood as seen in the 2011 Bazi Chart above, this seems to signify medical malpractices and operation gone wrong. Surely not a good year to go for operation!
There will be an increase in abortion cases. Adultery cases will also be on the rise.
In the political scene, there will be betrayal and lots of problems and annoying issues brewing.
China will curb the increase in real estate prices and prevent a recession, which is actually good news. However, USA and China will not be having a very good year in terms of relationship with each other.
Japan and Taiwan are deemed two very good countries to invest in as they both have wealth elements in the charts.
Other interesting things that may happen in 2011 according to Joey Yap are as follows - bird flu will make a comeback, there will be an increase of cases where people kill their new born children, and homosexuality news will increase (perhaps more people will be coming out of their closets!)
Now we come to the most important part of this post, that is the dates and times to activate the good stars! Before that, you have to make sure you know the exact location in your house to activate the stars.
Follow this step-by-step way to find out the exact location and sectors ....
1. Stand in the middle of your house. Use your house plan to roughly pinpoint the centre location.
2. Using a compass positioned in front of you at waist level, find out the North direction.
3. Print out this diagram below and superimpose it onto your house plan, taking care where is the exact North direction. (Notice that each direction is subdivided into 3 sectors eg. North direction has North1, North2 and North3. The exact North is 0 degrees, which is at the middle of North 2)
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPbDuo_ng8Pw2cvmfGESwSUm2JE_Jnp7fQwjyo5mtcAt4sqHa9ZxGNEoQzRoB1ZG4c4KEs2iblXT4cv0OeIwuLQdAE4NX_GSj-CB8NjVVQvBvALNiDvLltJ6OdumgefS7noPgCZflDMVze/s800/compass+directions2.jpg)
4. Mark in your house plan the exact locations where you need to activate (refer to the notes given below) and activate them at the time recommended. That's it!
So how do you activate the sectors? You can move large furnitures around, drill the wall and hang paintings, repaint the room, play loud music, renovate or if you are religious, do chanting.
Take note that several dates are given in case you miss the earlier dates. However, some dates are better than others and it will be mentioned as BEST DATE or BEST TIME.
Certain animal signs in your Bazi Chart may not benefit and they will be mentioned under EXCEPT. That means if Rooster is mentioned, and you have a Rooster in your Bazi Chart, you cannot activate on that particular date. Choose an alternative date.

(did i got the spelling right?_)
woooah!
blue so fast chopping!
lemme read first Panda!
and oh yeah! feng shui again!
Aiya you didnt type slowly like what I have requested in my previous comment need to read as fast as your typing speed...
Indeed a very longgggggggggggg post haha. One question that seems to attract different opinions from fengshui sifus are those staying in apartment. Which is the main door? The one that you walk into your apartment or the main block as you enter the ground floor? Some even said the one at your balcony?
Remembered one TV session Joey Yap mentioned about macro view ie he uses the main block entrance as the key point and not the unit entrance which can be a direct opposite.
Thanks! Happy Chinese New Year!
Wow...he taught you so much until you don't have time to share with us all his tips? You can email us d. :p
OK, 'like' already...
No internet in hometown, so will save this post in HDD.
Gong Hei Fatt Choy!
How to know if my house is in the east sector? Use compass?
What? East and West sectors are bad sectors? What if I can't shift at all? I mean what if it is not possible for me to move out? Is there any remedy?
So Northwest is a good place for career. Ok I will take note of this. :)
Hahaha :D Move in with the maid? Well...I don't have to worry as I don't have any maids.
So if we were to activate Southeast sector, we are not supposed to have aquarium which is closed right? :D
So IT and telecommunication industries will thrive this year? Can invest in them lor. :D
What bird will make a comeback? For what? ;p
come visit first but will have to finish reading later. :D
Thanks Foong. I will take note of all the important dates. :D
Btw did Joey Yap highlight any lucky color as in Yellow by Lilian? What if Joey said green so how? Inorder to have everything *kiasu* mah, wear yellow shirt with green pants or the other way round green shirt with yellow pants likewise for the ladies different color for blouse and skirt? tQ for sharing.
I only understand the last few parts like what day to start work. hahaha
Foong, u really good in Feng Shui lar.... Wishing you a very Gong Xi Fa Cai.
Wah so very long and detailed post indeed, I gotta say again... rajin!!! :D:D
So Japan is a good country to invest in eh? How abt vakasi in Japan? Same thing la investing in Japan by vacationing there ahahahahaah! Love Japan! :D:D:D
LOL @ Mariuca's comment. Japan good for investment this year. Then, I should go invest more money there this year oso, right? XD
Happy Chinese New Year!
Hv a great rabbit year^^
bluedreamer27, congrats you are FC! Oh, your auntie are into feng shui? Thanks for the Kong Hei Fat Choi greeting! Yes, you spelt it right although there are many ways to spell it : D
gagay, thanks for dropping by! : )
bananaz, I am afraid I do not know the answer to your question. I am no feng shui expert, just a person who are very interested in feng shui. And since I don't live in apartments and condos, I did not really bother to find out. But I think I have heard before that you have to take the main block facing as your facing direction and not your unit's main door.
blee, you are welcome and Happy Chinese New Year to you too! : )
tekkaus, it's not that I don't have time to share with you all but I did not manage to write down all the notes! : )
Yes, you have to use a compass to know your directions.
If it's not possible for you to move out, maybe you can place metal objects in the West and East to lessen the effects.
Regarding activating with water features, it must be opened and not covered, and best to be placed outside the house, not inside.
khengsiong, thanks for the FB "like" : )
lina, thanks for visiting! : )
bananaz, no Joey Yap did not mention about any good or lucky colours : )
che-cheh, LOL! Well, at least you know the best day to start work : D
angelineBK, thanks, same to you too! : )
mariuca, haha! Vacationing is not the same as investing! LOL!
lina, yes you should : )
xjion89, thanks! Happy New Year to you too! : )
hey, just pass by, your WEALTH ACTIVATION where 3 dates provided, the first date should be 20 March 2011 instead of 20 Feb 2011.
anonymous, I have just checked and double checked the dates - the correct date is in fact 20th Feb 2011 and not 20th March 2011 as you mentioned. The alternative dates are 21st march 2011 and 10th July 2011.
For the WORST DATES OF THE YEAR, JY mentioned that they are however suitable for those who are already having a year of bad luck. So did he mention on how do one go about ending all their bad luck and restarts anew on those dates?
Thank you!
How did you manage to remember all these hahahah now I am referring to your writing dy LOL I hope no wrong info here ahhhh me going to use it for my new office hahahah
Bananaz let me answer your question
Joey Yap teaching is dif than the one Lilian Too. While Lilian Too advise using object or colors... Joey Yap was the other way round.
He doesn't practice using object in fact we should practice without spending all the money on object.
So to your answer which color? the answer no colors.
Joey's teaching is more precise on how to use space and time on the right moment.
That's what I like and i think it's good enough although putting object maybe secondary it can never replace the spiritual believe which no object can ever represent <-- this one from me hahahah
Hi there,
Read your blog at the beginning of the year and loved the way you write. You have made feng shui much easier to understand and follow. I remembered that you mentioned today is the day for wealth activation thus came back to recap and see if I've missed out anything. However, as I'm reading your post again, I've noticed a section regarding countries feng shui. It was mentioned that Japan and Taiwan will be good countries to invest in as they are in the wealth section. I am sure by now you might be aware that Japan just lost billions of dollars, economically it is not looking too well. Please pardon me, I am in no way trying to stir up anything. I'm really just confused and skeptical with Joey's prediction thus as much as I will like to and eager to try the wealth activation, am having a bit of reservation here now. Just looking for a discussion regarding this and will like to hear what's your viewand maybe some others.
anonymous, sorry for this late reply. I am not very sure about how to go about ending all your bad luck for the year, Joey did not really explain it. Maybe you have got to ask Joey! : )
netster, I did not remember! I wrote them all down haha!
sandra, thanks for reading! Yes, Joey Yap did mention about investing in Japan companies. No doubt right now Japan is down economically, but you see, this is the perfect opportunity to invest! If you are into investing, you will know the best time to buy is when the shares are low. And we all know Japan will rise back up and be stronger than ever so the shares you buy today will definitely go up in the future.
It so happens that I just read a news report today that Warren Buffet also recommended buying shares in Japanese companies, so I guess Joey Yap made a correct prediction after all!
In any case, I have to caution you this - pls do not believe everything a feng shui master said. Joey came out with this recommendation based on his analysis of the feng shui and Bazi Chart - he's no fortune teller.
And just like weather forecast, sometimes what is forecasted does not turn out to be correct. But most of the time, it is. What I'm saying is if Joey said invest in Japan, it does not mean you risk all your money to invest there! What if his forecast is wrong? It can happen but the chances are not high, so if you have the extra money, do invest in Japan now : )
Foongpc, thanks for you reply. ^.^
I'm just one of those people who will ask questions when in slight doubt, rather than assume I might have the correct answer.
Once again, thanks for sharing and all these pleasant info.
Have a very good 2011!
Thanks for the detailed coverage of his seminar.
It's really handy for readers who aren't located where Joey is giving his annual seminars.
I look forward to reading the 2012 one!
Your article is very helpful for me. I will follow your instruction. Thank you.
