Below are some norms or practices among traditional Feng Shui practitioners:

1.  “Do not ask, will not tell” 不问不说:  If client has question, s/he should ask the Feng Shui practitioner.  The practitioner or teacher will not tell you the Feng Shui problems without being asked.  One’s Feng Shui problems are reflections of one’s karma (causes and effects).  If offering solutions without being requested, the practitioner may take over client’s negative karma because this becomes uninvited interference to one’s destiny.
2.  “Proactively requesting guidance” 主动请法:  Generally speaking, the teacher will only tell you the trend of your fortune and will not offer remedies and enhancements if you do not make the effort to ask for them.  The rationale is similar to #1 due to karma considerations.
3.   “No free guidance”法不空出:  One must have “red packet” (consultation fee) ready after the teacher has provided methods on remedies and enhancements.  This is the universal “give and take” process.  Taking advantage of “free advice” is equivalent to damaging one’s spiritual (heart) Feng Shui.  This could create a karma debt/ entanglement to the teacher and bad luck for both parties.
4.  “Partial reading” 不完全看:  A responsible practitioner may give 60- 70% of the total Feng Shui information to the client.  S/he dares not to give you 100% because s/he does not know if your spiritual Feng Shui or moral cultivation can handle the information or not.  Traditional Feng Shui practitioners believe 50% of one’s fortune depends on environmental Feng Shui and the other half on one’s spiritual Feng Shui.  People without the appropriate moral cultivation occupy an auspicious Feng Shui location could render the location inauspicious.
In summary, if you do not ask, the practitioner or teacher is likely will not tell you anything.  Pay the consultation fee if advice is given.  Free advice is bad for both the client and practitioner.  The above is also applicable to other form of Chinese astrological or fortune-telling practitioners.
