Revisiting Hyatt Castle Gate

Hyatt Singapore is one of the cannot miss spot of pilgrimage for any Flying Star practitioner, especially so if they learnt from the Tan YangWu lineage. Reason is this Hotel is the epitome of the secret theory of Castle Gate elegantly executed by the former FengShui adviser to the patriarch of Singapore, the late venerable HongChoon. Who is he? Read HERE. Physical observation revealed that the semi circle water feature, the steps and tilted door are presents. Legend has it that by tilting 45 degree and installing a semi circular water feature at the front, the Hotel is able to receive what is probably known as Castle Gate water thus fulfilling the prophecy of “where the jade rabbit and the golden tortoise meets in the land of the 7 stars”, in another word renewing for period 7. News had it that upon activation, coincidently a flight was stalled and the passengers had nowhere to stay due to high period and the only under occupied Hotel was suddenly in demand! The late venerable HongChoon was suddenly shot to fame and every master in town would like to have some kind of association with this magical monk. 

Because of its fame, we need to dig a little to see what other has to say and in no time, one Googles, a never ending list appear which is in summary, Hyatt = CastleGate. So the next intelligent question is what is castle gate, CG (not computer graphics)? CG has been given many interpretations. Some say it is secret techniques, water formula, landform and the sort. So, it is better that such discussion be reserved for other time. At the moment, let’s stick to popular assumption that in one school perspective, it is a “formation consisting Castle liked structure locking the water mouth and using the timeliness effect to receive its auspiciousness by means of its facing direction where upon these waters are sequenced via HeTu and LoShu numerological connections”. If there is a Castle there must be a Gate. A Gate is a Qi mouth where water converse. So technically speaking, there arise a Castle Gate landform and a theory to evaluate the Qi mouth called Castle Gate Theory. They are entirely different species. 

So, it is believed that the late venerable HongChoon uses this secret method to rejuvenate Hyatt’s prosperity, of which we thought otherwise. Let see what the late reverend had assumed to have done. GoogleMaps revealed that the entire building sits Chen and faces Xu. It was however stated to have sit Xun faces Qian, thus the Castle Gate comes about. This shows that the way we understood SanYuan 24 Mountains are entirely freaking wrong, detail read HERE. Opening both FlyingStar charts based on the base star of the neighboring palaces to the facing palace, one obtained the arrival of the material time current prosperity star 7 as the facing stars. It thus indicated that water in Kan and Dui palaces are timely, he chooses to tilt the door towards Kan direction, apparently conforming landform principle. There came the legendry tilted door despite the appearance of any physical water in Kan location. For completeness, a water feature was installed fronting the facing of the building, thus it is taken as “to receive its auspiciousness by means of its facing direction where upon these waters are sequenced via HeTu and LoShu numerological connections”. Some called this phenomenon as “Stealing Water (Prosperity)” or “Inducing Palace” or by any other different names. Yet, 2 sided steps were placed beside the protruded water features for unknown FengShui reasons. 

We reserved our thought on these but what interest us most knowing how the late grandmaster behaved with his reservation with the true applications and elusive showmanship of the obvious tilting door signature, the art rest in both the outer and the inner side of the lobby with its YinYang balancing act upon which the entire Hotel sits on in relation to the perceived CastleGate junction of Scott-Orchard intersections, distance away. On the time of visit, the ambiance remain musky, dark Zen-like luxury with not many people despite the makeover recently by another so called WuChang lineage practitioner, detail read HERE. 

One question, would the Castle Gate goes hey-wire comes period 8?
