On an Internet forum discussion for mothers-to-be, the topic: "Choosing the birth date and time for our new born" was posted by Anon (Hidden from Privacy) and the reply from the geomancy webmaster to advice:

I have thought about this issue many times and I feel that it is quite 'unethical' to do so...even when I was tempted to do so.
Previously, although I had analyed several dates "fortunately" or "unfortunately", the date of birth did not materialsise as the birth was natural.
I would at this point in time not make such analysis available. Hope you understand.
Overall, for general info, for such an analysis. it would usually invole:-
1. analysing especially the parent's Ba Zi.
2. The child's ba zi.
Sorry, I am not able to help you in this area. I do not want to be seemed to play/tamper with one's destiny.

Fortunately, this geomancer was honest and did not try to play God.
Astrologers and religious masters do not attempt to intervene the birth date/time of the child or plan the prosperity and future using artificial contraception or unnatural birth induction methods by the parents.

I was born in Singapore on 28 September, 1948 (not a new year day baby) at home by a midwife (not in KK Hospital).

Hi James,
I loved these old pictures of mothers and their newborns.
Kandang Kerbau Hospital is the place where my mom was born in 1930.
