Dear Anon, One good example is at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/grandpa1.htm This type of house has to eventually be pulled down i.e. demolished and rebuilt. Usually, the senario is like this: 1. The breadwinner will die shortly after it is constructed. 2. Other family members will have a hard time `keeping' it although the next breadwinner will not die but will have lots of difficulty. 3. If this second breadwinner (usually the inheritants) does not sell the house, it will be `forced' sell e.g. bankrupt or near bankrupt. Near bankrupt if he sells early and avoids this. 4. If the house is sold to another party, this party will have financial problems and will eventually have…

Dear Anon, You brought up a very interesting question. My views are as follows:- 1. It has to depend on the quality of the Feng Shui " Master ". Many people simply give themselves title the Master title. Most people who are naive will equate all Masters to be equal. I believe it is best to go to the `root' of the situation by employing a reputable Feng Shui Master/ Practioner either through word of mouth or by their `reputation'. I believe that "You pay for what you get." 2. The best Feng Shui practioners are those who are willing to help others (of course with a fee involved). Contrast this to those who only want to earn money at their expense. Again this is difficult …

Dear Anon, Grateful if you can elaborate further on this. If I get to understand, as the cross road is a "cross junction", there can be at least two houses that can have this configuration. From what you have mentioned, at the moment cannot seem to find a rationale for the initial good luck for the house. Perhaps, you can elaborate which book or site you seen this and what is the rationale for the author to write it in this manner? The only remote possibility is that the author had treated the road as a False dragon. But again, I would need the full facts before I am able to make a proper comment. Else, it has to be discounted. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Andre, In my opinion, there should not be any impact of what you have described. Usually, the emphasis is more to see if the `main entrance' door is protected from `harm' i.e. poison arrows. As such, floorings are of secondary importance. Where possible, floors should ot be entirely dark. The house should not look `dark' but bright. Especially the living room making it more yang than yin. Contrast to the bedroom where it is more for sleep which should be more yin than yang. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Darlene, 1. Sorry for the late reply. 2. Presently there are no ISO standards or standard practises in Feng Shui. 3. I would rather call it Geomancy as Feng Shui alone is not really enough to cover the scope of a full " Feng Shui " audit. 4. In my opinion, it takes years and years of experience plus constant studying and updates to come to a level of not only understanding but applying `Feng Shui'. As Rome was not built in a day, Geomancy study needs lots of understanding and more importantly, applying what most likely works and discard the `bad' practises. 5. I therefore cannot blame you for being `confused' with so many practices in Geomancy. Furthermore, there …

Dear Anon, One should treat, huge manmade structures similar to tall superstructures or tall buildings as the same. It would be better as a comment if we are in a particular building overlooking the huge manmade structure. Here, Shapes and Form Feng shui is used. From the angle or room, what you see may not be what I see or how another practitioner see. Worse still if one `see's nothing. The best way therefore to relate to these objects is from the main entrance (if it overlooks these structure) and any windows facing it. It depends as no two house have the same view. Like you correctly mentioned, higher level Feng Shui analysis would be to see the relationship of the h…

Dear Anon, This is a very interesting question. In applied Feng Shui, one need not have to deal with issues like whether the moon is yin or yang. What is more relevant here is the `fact' that the moon affects the tides and magnetic influence/pull of gravity. Other interesting studies include looking at e.g. full moon dates for Marketing activity etc.. I personally feel it does not matter whether the stars are yin or yang. This area, is dominated by Astrology i.e. this forum's `terms of reference' is more on Feng Shui, Destiny and not on Chinese Astrology. Perhaps, Chinese Astrology, may or may not have looked into this issue. Frankly, most of us are not too concerned as …

Dear Lynn, 1. Usually, you can get readily purchased coins already tied with red string with a tassel. 2. In your case, usually, tie the first coin with the second coin and then add the third coin, overlapping each other. The three coins can be `firmly' held together overlapped in a straight line. (Overlapped partially on top of each other). 3. The three coins are usually placed under the main entrance carpet. The symbolic gesture of stepping on the three coins is like stepping on `gold'. 4. You do not really need to worry as to how to tie them. But remember not to stack them together and tie them. 5. Here, symbolically, one must still see the three coins (even if they ar…

Dear Anon, When I am free, will post more information on this. Currently, the relationship of planets and even the Big dipper has relevance to Chinese Astrology. As most of users are more concerned with what goes on, on planet earth, I believe, we can skip this area first and concentrate on more `earthly things' and when there is less to discuss, would be glad to post more on Chinese Astrology (stuffs). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, I would like to point out that `light' does not necessary mean `bulb' electricity. I believe our Sun came about long before the `bulb' electricity came into place. Usually, when I mentioned about lighting, e.g. it refers to natural light and necessary the `Edison' light bulb. I hope you *Joke* can now look at lighting from a different perspective. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, As you have correctly mentioned Chinese astrology can be quite `similar' in its approach with say the Western Astrology. The reason why, we do not want to discuss Chinese astrology at the moment is because most of the `analysis' done e.g. predictions in books are all based only on one's Year of birth. This is like comparing apples with oranges. Here, Pillars of Destiny (which is not Chinese Astrology) uses not `4 pillars' i.e. Year, Month, Day and Time. So how can we compare the `prediction' of Pillars of Destiny with a basic Chinese Astrology `chart' based on just the year of birth. Furthermore, we have added two more pillars of destiny into version 8. In addi…

Dear Anon, 1. Thanks for your feedback. 2. I will continue to provide graphic examples but not actual pictures. This is because when e.g. a full audit is done, we have to respect the privacy of clients. Furthermore, usually, it is not a comfortable feeling if a picture is taken when a cure has just been placed. 3. So, I feel it is best to illustrate using graphic drawings (if possible) or when I do have the time to do so. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Gabrielle, You can check out the Paid report at http://www.geomancy-online.com which will analyse personalised auspicious dates. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. It sadden me to find that you faced so much problems. I believe what you wrote would be an inspiration to many who have fewer problems. 2. We would be very glad to provide you with as much assitance as we can free of charge. 3. More importantly, the emhasis would be to check on your child's health and the overall house. Please sent a private note to robert-lee@geomancy.net so that he can provide you with the necessary credits and to see if you would prefer using the Home Audit or generate the Flying Star. However, both would involve getting an ordinary compass. Take care! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Niki, 1. If you can, you could perhaps show us a small graphic file. As it is quite difficult to visualise what you are mentioning. 2. Where possible the stove has to have a support or backing. Can it be placed in a different location and for you to still enjoy the beautiful view. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. I totally agree with you on what you have said. 2. Where possible, the strongest weightage should be word of mouth from close friends or relatives (if possible). 3. I have seen quite alot of cases where: 3.1. We not only have to try to `cure' but also first reverse some of the damage done by these practitioners. 3.2. This is usually where either: the `practitioner' over sell or is not sure: - Over sell : This is where the `practitioner' brings along products e.g. several windchimes, etc.. and asks the owner to place them. Thus make more money out of it. Usually, these are the famous Black Hat Sect Feng shui. - Trying to " play-safe ": This is where, the Fe…

Dear Anon, Thanks for sharing the thoughts of many users who I belive share the same views as yours. To me, Feng Shui is both a passion and hobby so, I just made the passing remark while I was thinking on another `issue'. But wrote it in the spur of the moment. If I can, I will always answer questions posted to clear whatever doubts or to provide the differing views of various practitioners. When I wrote this, I was thinking more of cases where users simply write: "Where is my wealth corner?" or something similar to it. In the past, I do get many people who simply wrote the above single line and expect me to tell them where their wealth corner. Here, if you only bother to…

Dear Nikki, Firstly, a warm welcom. Under Chinese Astrology, you can visit http://www.lovesigs.net for an interesting insight about your Chinese Zodiac signs. Do take your time to find out more about the facinating `art' and `science' of Feng Shui. One quick easy start is to Tour the `Fun with Feng Shui' pages on this site at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/map.htm or read thru, the various `past' messages in this forum or simply narrow down or zoom in to a specific subject through the SEARCH feature. Alternatively, you use some of the computerised tools available on this site at: http://www.geomancy-online.com Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Travis, 1. Sorry to learn about your health problems. 2. Most likely, there could be a sickness #2 or #5 at the current sector that you are occupying. 3. We would be glad to provide you will a Free paid, Flying Star report. Please email: robert-lee@3dmail.com and let us know if you have an existing account at www.geomancy-online.com and the account name privately. 4. Currently, it would be crucial to try to determine: The year of birth of the building/apartment and the direction of the main door. As a reference, the `year of birth' of the building need not necessary be the year the building was built but rather, when was the last major renovations of the building. If…
