Dear Anon, This is a very good question. Generally, in my opinion, this is very common in the West. Especially, if there is a "lovely" bay-window just behind the bed-head. But locally in Singapore, this is often not a good idea for the following reasons. And these reasons are often "common-sense". In Singapore, majority of the homes are apartments (flats) or high-rise and it is often not too good an idea to have the bed-head against the window:- 1. Unfriendly neighbours! There are occassions where inconsiderate neighbours throw out cigarette butts and sometimes it may fall down into an open window. And if are beds are close to or next to the window, there can be a p…

Hi, i was running a report report on a house number on a property I want to purchase. The house number is 11800 and it was build in the 90’s and remodeled (roof shingle replacement, flooring, etc) this year. The report using the two periods are drastically different. Can you tell me if that changes anything with the remodel? And is house number a big deal? Or would I rather consider other major factors? Daisy

Hello Mr. Lee! I would like to ask you, which do you think are the most suitable dates for: 1) Collecting and storing our old (2018) feng shui therapies. 2) "Big Cleaning" before new year enters in February 5th, 2019. 3) Placing the cleansed / new therapies for 2019. Which is the method to figure out the above dates for each year ahead? Thank you very much!

Are metal roofs, which are increasingly popular, bad feng shui? Storm damage requires new roof. Currently have trad shingles, with a metal roof on a low pitch extension (too flat for shingles) across back of house which faces east and a medium sized lake as well. Is going full metal too much metal? I am Sagittarius/Water Dragon. Thankyou, wrsjr.

Hi Master we are quite keen on an apartment but it has a school sitting on its right and know building a new neighbourhood police centre on its left. What are your views on Feng Shui of this apartment due these surrounding buildings? Many thanks in advance.

Dear Anon, 1. More importantly, for a site, it should also have excellent Feng Shui based on Shapes and Form School. For example: 1. Avoid having a drain or water position behind the house. 2. You piece of land in relation to the neigbhour. Is the land lower then the neighbour? Is it on a slope? There are many more issues to be looked into. 2. The eight house theory has its limitation in that it is best used only for finding the house is suitable to the breadwinner (main door) and the various bedrooms that your family members will occupy. 3. More advanced theories such as Flying Star should be used. My suggestion is that if you want a `worry' free house, it is best to get…

Hi, My house located at the middle of L shape, we built low brick fence wall with garden bed with the brances plants like hedges along behind the brick fence wall. We planted branches plants so they can grow taller than low brick fence wall in order to block the street where’s cars coming in to the street (from left side), it is an end of street, on the right from front of house. Cars coming through from left. The council planted a seed tree (the tree has grown about 1.5m height) in front of our front yard ( in front of our brick wall fence) location is not exactly in the middle of L (but sort of blocking street a bit from cars coming through - right hand car). Th…

1. For the Chinese "ancient" coins:- Under the five elements concept: one notice that it has a square hole in the middle. The square hole represents earth. Thus, Earth (square hole) supports Metal (copper coin). And the red string (or some red) is suppose to "bind" or "control" the entire coin. 2. Hulu tied with red string:- In my opinion, no precedence other than RED being considered as an auspicious colour (color) for the Chinese. And many decorate it with RED. Not only the hulu but many trinkets or decorative items also often tied with red string. For example, the Chinese Palace Lanterns. Each of it's legs are decorated with red strings (tassles). No specific reas…

Dear Master Cecil, Attached is the floor plan, kindly advise on the positions of beds in each room. ( Surrounded by bathrooms ) FYI, there is an kuan yin altar sharing the same wall as bedroom 1 ( near balcony ). Thank you.

Dear Master Cecil, I have planned to move house on the 23rd of dec 2017. My zodiac is rabbit. I just realised that my mother who is already living in the house is a tiger and 23rd dec 17 clashes with a tiger. Can I still move in on the 23rd dec 2017? if no, is there any other suitable date for moving in december 2017? Thanks very much!

Hi Master. Is it correct to say that Feng Shui cures must be activated with the “intention” to transform them in a cure? Otherwise it could happen that a simple red night light (the ones to avoid to hit corners while commuting to the bathroom....) or the red switch of an electrical power strip could be classified as Feng Shui cures with very negative outcome if they happen to be in the wrong place. The same happens for painting or pictures of water of mountain placed in wrong place by an unaware house wife. Again: many objects in the house are objects with a mass, does this mean that an iron on the iron board next to the wall activates a mountain star, maybe a very …

Hi Cecil, I did the free reports on your web and found out that my bazi I am wood and east direction and my hb bazi is oso wood and southeast direction . happened that both our kua is east group as well. Our house frontage is a S2/3 facing where our main door is at NE sector and bedroom is at W sector . Under period 8 flying stars understand the frontage is good for us however with our bedroom location facing west (not so ideal direction for east grp but with good numbers 1 and 6) and main door at northeast (with bad numbers like 7,2,9) is this still considered a good unit for us? I have also read tht kitchen must Not be at nw area which thankfully it is not . May I chec…

Dear Master Lee, Can pregnant women participate in the rituals of moving? Thanks

Dear YC, Yes, symbolism is very important in Feng Shui: 1. Most importantly paintings must not show animals that are `fierce'; too thin; on the prowl & looks hungry etc... 2. Since, you have mentioned that the painting is a resting, friendly tiger, in my opinion, this is acceptable painting. Where possible, place this painting in areas where there is clear space e.g. living room area. And not in enclosed or small confines of a bedroom. 3. Other types of paintings: 3.1 Paintings near main entrance or living room area: If one is using traditional Chinese paintings, one can use e.g. paintings such as 8 or 9 koi fishes. To symbolise clear space. Calligraphy is ok. 3.2 Pa…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Just want to know if salt lamps are good for feng shui when placed in the house. Thank you very much. Generally, salt lamps are made from salt crystal rocks. Generally, it is not really a feng shui item or product. Just a decorative form of lighting feature. No issue in general to use it. In terms of best feng shui location, it is related more towards crystal. Under the feng shui, areas where there is auspicious mountain star (ie star 8/9/1 for period 8 houses, or 7/8/9 for period 7 houses), should benefit from having some form of mountain star feature. Typically a crystal or mountain picure. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEO…

Hi, We just moved into a new home and based on my calculation it seems this is a good home with parent string combination. Unfortunately we have a corner that's either missing or protruding (attached floor plan). As we won't be able to do any renovation due to this is a townhouse we would like some advise or what we can do. Thank you so much, Shaun

Dear Mdm Tan, Glad that you find this website useful a. From a Feng Shui point of view:- 1. Generally, it is a site worth considering as: 1.1. all the blocks can be of very high floor(s) 1.2. higher floors have generally good unobstructed views 2. For such a development, often, the aim is to get higher floors vs lower (1 to 5 storeys) 3. Try to use the Eight House to check to see if the home especially fits the breadwinner. 4. Another major Feng Shui consideration has also to do with where is the afternoon sun? Generally, it would be good if the masterbedroom, bedrooms and even the living rooms are not "bathed" by the afternoon sun. 5. Even if the rooms …

Dear Laraine, The main important point to note is that even if you can see certain `pointed' arrows at your main door, they may not be `pointed' arrows. Based on what you have mentioned to me, some of the objects you mentioned most likely are not `poison' arrows. This is because, when standing at the main entrance door and looking out, we can see quite a range of things. What you need to remember is that: 1. It is not a poision arrow if it is not `aimed' at your main entrance. If I am not wrong, the TV aerial on your neighours house is placed on their roof and in such a situation, unless it `bends' down and like the barrel of a gun, aims at your house, this is not a `poi…

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a new house with the following layout. The 1st floor is rented out to a medical clinic (with a primary care physician, a dentist and a physical therapist). The 2nd floor is the primary residence area. I was wondering if it is okay to live above a clinic? Also, is the feng shui of the overall house okay? Is the kitchen too close to the entrance, bedroom, or the center of the house?

Hi Master, Im curious if there would be any issue if my HDB flat front view looks like this?

Hi Master Lee, I would like to seek your advice. I am currently considering an EC unit that is low floor and facing the lower part of an LRT track. It is quite near the curve. I would like to find out if there will be any poison arrow or sha qi? Thank you very much.

Please see attachment. In general, this type of triangular plot of land (may be) acceptable - subject to any external open drains if any along its perimeter which may affect it's Feng Shui

Dear Linda, 1. When using a compass, one has to be exact and plot the exact compass direction into one of the 15 degrees of the Flying Star chart. 2. Often, we may have to take readings out-side of the home to avoid any metallic disturbance e.g. high tensile steel embedded in the concrete structure of the home. 3. Sorry, I don't quite understand your question. "the Compass shows as SE but only over 10 degrees to SE do you consider it as SE or South " 4. As mentioned under Para 1 and 2, above, for SE facing homes: SE1 = 112.5 degrees to 127.4 degrees (120 degrees) SE2 = 127.5 degrees to 142.4 degrees (135 degrees) SE3 = 142.5 degrees to 157.4 degrees (150 degrees…
