Pencil Tree (Euphorbia tirucalli) I have observed this tree in a smaller form in several locations, though not frequently. It brings to mind the longtong dish featuring long beans, or popiah that includes French beans... This tree is devoid of leaves. Alternatively, its leaves resemble twigs more closely.

Can I check in terms of fengshui, any impact if we change the main door from the current wood one to a glass door pls? Happy New Year! Not Feng Shui, but for condos not allowed to anyhow change. Main doors adjacent to elevators must have a fire rating of at least 30 minutes. During my most recent visit to a client at Yew Mei Green EC in 2023, I noticed that they had replaced their main door with a completely different one due to a significant crack in the existing door. Interestingly, their neighbor had also upgraded their front door. It is worth noting that both new doors do not quite complement the exterior design of the other existing doors [o…

Dear Tam, The Mole on face comes from the art of face reading which is one of the aspect if fortune telling which Feng Shui Masters generally use for fortune telling. It has been documented, just like any Feng Shui thories that a mole at a certain location can represent certain type of characteristic or fortune. But in order for it to be accurate it has to be combined with the way of bones and even palmistry to provide an accurate reading and prediction of fortune. Maybe you like to read up on the Face Reading. I am not sure if there are many books which have been converted in English about Face Reading techniques. But there are many Chinese books available on this art. Y…

Dear Tracy, A few traditional Feng Shui Masters have stated their views that there should not be any changes with respect for people living in the Southern Hemisphere. You can read this article written by Master Yu of astro-fengshui.com : http://www.astro-fengshui.com/south-h.htm I agree with his opinion that there should not be any changes made as the calendar system of finding a person's `true' element and overall strength of the element e.g. strong water, neutral water and weak water. For other viewpoints, you can read links from this page: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/addsites.com -----Original Message-----

Dear Eve, Placing a partition or a low cabinet within the house (inside the house) does not alter the original door facing direction. The purpose of this is to let qi meander gently into the house and it is for this purpose only. However, if one tilts the main entrance door to a specific direction, one then has changed the direction of the facing of the door. No, the South = inauspicious is considered a `text book' assessment for everyone. Unfortunately, this is too general unless one does a personalised Feng Shui assessment specific to their own house and their personal data. Otherwise, it is in my opinion too general to be used by everyone. In fact it is less `accurate'…

Hi, Based on the four symbolic animals concept, water should not be behind the house. But see the good news below:- There is one major principle of Sha Qi (bad ch'i) that is if it cannot be seen, no longer becomes a `threat'. In your case, your property is "exceptional" because it is huge. As mentioned above, if you cannot see the `threat' under Feng Shui principles, it no longer becomes sha qi in your case, it is further helped by the barn. In your case, I personally feel that there is no need to build a fence. The only point I like to bring to your attention is the short write-up I wrote on dangers of underground water. If you have the time, the url is : http://www.geom…

Dear Sarah, Hope you can further describe `how level' is the house in relation to the surroundings? For example to the Chinese, an inverted `wok' (those found in the kitchen) is an ideal way to represent a good `site'. Your site should be where possible higher or level the surrounding land. Hope you can describe more in detail for me to fully comprehend and make `better' judgement. Perhaps, you can describe to me what you see on four sides of the site e.g. the back, the front, the right and the left. I hope this is not too much to ask but, I feel the more details the better... erh.. don't want to give wrong advice:) Warmest Regards, Cecil -----Original Message----- From: …

Hi, What you have done is already OK. If the apartment was occupied by someone who died of old age, there is usually really no concern. One fine day, everyone has to die of old age. Unless the death is due to other circumstances. If this is not the case, don't worry too much:) Send my regards to your relative:) Warmest Regards, Cecil -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'discussion-session' suppressed 'discussion-session' suppressed> Date: Saturday, April 17, 1999 8:13 AM Subject: New Apartment needs cleansing

Dear Kieon First, let me congratulate you on your new home:) From your description, a square room is considered an excellent layout. In Feng Shui, yes, it is unfavourable to have a slanted ceiling as you have mentioned, this creates unfavourable qi in that area. There are few cures and only two are available:- 1. A `poster' bed with four pillars and for the `roof' of the poster bed, one can place a cloth material. This will act as a false ceiling. 2. False ceiling to level the roof. Frankly, the above are the two `best' cures for this situation. Other than the above, for the moment, I can't recall any other more effective `cures'. 3. If there is a beam above the slanted c…

Dear Joe, Please read below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'discussion-session' suppressed 'discussion-session' suppressed> Date: Tuesday, May 11, 1999 8:02 PM Subject: applying f.s. to 'group homes' The yearly stars can be considered, but would have to be careful as there are 200 people of which not all are sultable for everyone. Other than that, I believe it is very difficult, because even if you want to use the eight house, it can be pretty messy to organise. But of course if you can, you could help them, by grouping those in certain direction together. Practically of course, it is very difficult. This is my opinion, if any ot…

Dear Brigitte, Thanks for bring up this interesting question:- 1. Human beings are very complex and currently there are many books written on human relationships, motivation, human interaction etc... but so far no book can explain in detail our personal interations. 2. Some situations are based on the maturity of the couples and the way they tolerate each other. 3. There are many influences on our lifes and relations such as our upbringing, education, personal experiences etc... This is why, sometimes our Pillars of Destiny i.e. our Heaven Chart based on our birth chart changes and this can be explained in an example:- If you do a search, I mentioned the Right and Left Br…

Dear Glyn, Please read below:- Nope it is not necessary. Whether or not is good or bad, it depends on additional compounded influence. For example, even if he is travelling in his bad direction (which everyone will do so sometime or other). It is the influences of that trip that makes the difference. For example this person is a weak wood, but his friends with him are weak water etc, they are heading for the mountain (with nature - wood, earth). His direction is travelling say West (Metal) which is unfavourable, but that along is not significant enough for any inauspicious or unhappy influence. Rather if his friends he is travelling is Strong Metal and maybe Strong …

Hi, Sorry for the delay in reply. Besides other activities, Robert and myself were busy configuring each of our new notebook to cater for the increased mails. The purpose of calling this entire site - Center for Feng Shui Research is that: 1. We are not restricted by practising only one School of Feng Shui or owe allegiance to only one " Master ". Overall, as you can see, it is good to learn Feng Shui from many Masters. Personally, I now have at least more than 400 books on Feng Shui both Chinese: from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong and many others. 2. Like the Kung Fu movies we see, you will notice that the actors usually start off getting `bullied' and as a result they lea…

Dear Glyn, Glad to hear from you on actual happenings in Perth. Just to share with everyone: Currently a few users have used the " Anonymous " feature when sending mails in this forum. Here are the plus and minus points of sending mails Anonymously: 1. It is ok if you are sending many individual questions on each specific topics as the message will not be sent out thru the mailing list unless it has been replied. This is ok as, many users will then be able to read only the replies rather than the question first. 2. If any users do see " Anonymous ", it does not imply that it is only one person who sent it. As the adminstrator of this forum, I am able to see who sent the …

Hi Anon Cecil's course IMHO is very well structured with lots of examples coming from his 101 Feng Shui Tips and Examples.I found the course easy to understand and most importantly, Cecil and Robert as you well know, are prepared to answer all questions. I can assure you not all Masters are this generous. I am an accountant by profession but gave it all away in 1994. My chart indicated that I would study metaphysics so I followed this path and with excellent Masters like Cecil and Robert, have been able to set up a practice here in Perth where I have a strong client base. One never stops learning about Feng Shui..there is just so very much to learn, and when done correctl…

Dear Kris, It is best that you superimpose the Eight House Template which is available at either: 1. Manual method: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm (with detailed instructions on how to do a survey). 2. Computerised method: Free computerised Eight House at www.geomancy-online.com My advise is that you should try out the above to check your auspicious and inauspicious sectors. After doing so, see which location is closer to your best auspicious intangible force. If it is an inauspcious intangible force, and if the room is between two compass directions e.g. NE or N (as an example), it is best to sleep closer to the least bad influence i.e. NE = death or disaster line…

Dear Anon, In my opinion, to a geomancer, this is like an other `occupational' risks inherent to their occupation. Usually, to eradicate `ghosts or spirits', this would be referred to an appropriate priest/monk etc... The homeowner is the one who has ultimately to make the decision he/she wants to call in. It can be a Catholic priest, a Christina pastor, a Toaist, Buddhist or others such as ghost catchers. The FS practioner can try to advise on how to reduce Yin influences. Like you mentioned if a FS practioner is not well protected, he/she can get sick. In fact, doing FS audits on the wrong dates can cause `harm' to the FS practioner. There are dates where a FS practio…
