Hello Feng Shui masters, I'm looking at purchasing a property and while the apartment itself is not trapezoidal shaped, the detached garage (on the basement level) has a storage cage which is very obviously an irregular shape. Is this considered trapezoidal shaped land (since I will own the storage cage)? Kind regards and many thanks.

Is the concept of Feng Shui applicable to rental properties? Dear Cecil, This house that I'm very interested in buying as a rental property, is in a great location and the price is right. What has been keeping me from making an offer is that this house faces North which is my "Disaster" direction. I'm also a Strong Water. I would never buy a North facing house to live in, but will I get BAD luck if I buy it to rent out to other people? Thank you! Hoa

Dear Chris, There are two considerations under "Feng Shui" i.e. 1. Symbolism under Shapes and Forms FS 2. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui 1. Under Symbolism in Feng Shui, it is considered a disadvantage to have a knife or sword hanging or placed or displayed in the living room. As this is symbolic of quarrels or disharmony. 2. Under Commonsense approach Just like guns with live bullets lying in the home. This can be assessed wrongly by young children or a parent or family member who is quick tempered or used by intruders into a home. Generally, as you had mentioned, it is best to keep or display the sword in a specific room e.g. your study room. And if possible, …

Dear Simon, The following are points to consider on the display of ornamental Japanese swords:- 1. Like any other swords, it should not face the main entrance door. 2. It should be displayed with the protective sword casing even if the sword is blunt. 3. Ideally, it should be displayed in a display cabinet. 4. The best location to display the ornamental sword is in a `separate' room. For example, in a private office, a `person' room . 5. Avoid displaying it in the living room, dining room, family room. As mentioned above, it should be in a " private " room. If it is displayed under para 5 above, there may be a possibility of relationship problems. Finally, in my opinion…

Hi Master Cecil, I need another help with the current house plan. I kind of like the house, but noticed that bedroom 1 door is facing the hallway. What is your view on this plan? Or If I may ask, in your view what is the remedy I can do to the plan. I am still in my house hunting search and yet to find the right one. Thank you.

Hello Master! Does a toilet underneath the staircase have any remedy? I have been looking at a property with the attached plan - the stairs continue over the toilet and laundry here to the first floor of this townhouse. Or should we no longer consider this property? Many many thanks!

Hi master as rooms are very small these days, I’m thinking of using a wall bed (also known as Murphy bed) for myself. Want to check if there is any feng shui implications of using a wall bed, and anything to look out for? this way during the day, I can keep the bed up and free the floor space for doing other things like prostrations/ meditation / floor seating / yoga etc. thank u

We are looking at changing the Swing Gate design for our house. House is West Facing. What type of design and color would you advise for us to take note? Thanks

Dear Master, I am living on a 13th Storey unit facing a T-junction. Please advise if it is getting bad qi and what can I do to improve or neutralise the situation. Thank you so much.

Dear Master Cecil Lee My current work desk direction in office is not favourable. I am seated facing North-East 35 degrees. Based on the design of the room, there is no way to shift the angle too much and shifting to north will make the table look awkward to anyone that passes by. Do you have advise for me?

Hi, I have 16 goldfish with me right now. Can I know whether I can have 16 goldfish in one tank according to feng shui? Thank you! -Shezwin-

Dear Master Lee We are looking at the attached unti. It looks like an L shape (front door facing SE1/SE2 and balcony facing NW2/NW3). Is this truly L shape where two rectangles need to be drawn? Or do we draw a square showing a missing S and SW sector (not so good for Period 8 and Period 9 due to missing stars and kitchen in wrong sector)? The missing S/SW sector is just a void, no adjoining rooms of other units. The second picture shows the floor plan of the building stack (unit is number 14). Thank you very much for your help. B

Dear Anon, Thank you for the link to the sitemap. However, there is no compass marking on the map thus cannot see the perspective from the Compass School. From (only) a Shapes and Forms perspective, without considering where is the afternoon or morning sun, the smaller units #07, #11 and especially #12 and #17 or #14 and #15 looks more promising as #08 seems to have majority of windows facing the opposite #05. Yes, although construction began in 2001-02, but because since no one has yet stayed in the home, it should be considered as a Period 8 home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master Cecil, I recently came across some pointers with regards to Bedroom Fengshui. It is said that If the Bed is placed along a wall with a door, it is bad fengshui as (1) It is not in a "Commanding Position" where the door is visible (related to point 3) (2) Qi coming from the back (the reference did not clarify why Qi from the back is bad) (3) May get startled from the back and create restlessness However, I could not find any reference on Fengshui on the following diagram where the Bed is not exactly along the wall with a door, but the door is at the back slightly further down. For clarity, the bed is placed this way to avoi…

Dear Anon, It is important to remember to display the coins even if they are binded together. They will still show the number of coins i.e. 6 coins. But, if we stack the coins together (exactly) and tie them together, you would only see `one coin' but a very thick one coin. Here, unless one goes closely to count them, it simples looks like ONE coin although it is rather `thick'. This is why, one must string the coins and at a glance, show 6 coins. Furthermore, the red (as in the red string) represents the "fire" element to bind or control "big metal". As some kind of a check (and balance). The red tassle and infinity knot are simply meant as decorati…

Is this considered odd shape? Is the layout fengshui good or bad?

Dear Max, 1. For a new home, one do not need to strictly adhere to the Grand Duke or Tai Sui theory. Especially if it has not even been stayed in yet. 2. It is always good to choose auspicious dates for: 2.1 Start of renovations. 2.2 Choose a good date for symbolic "move-in". 2.3 Choose a good date for actual move-in. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Is this HDB at 268B Compassvale Link dumb bell layout good or bad?

Dear Anon, Yes, N1 and S1 charts are nearly identical. With the exception that their Water & Mountain Stars are flipped as shown here:- N1 PERIOD 9 CHART For example North is 8 1 S1 PERIOD 9 CHART While S1, North is flipped as 1 8 instead This is simply the nature of Flying Star charts. Thus a N2 and S2 will share similar traits etc.... Warmest Regards, Cecil

This question is similar to the concept found under this recent reply:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=24209&new= Quote: Katrina L. wrote: Hello Master Lee, For 2009, the West is afflicted with the flying star #2 sickness star. My bedroom is located in the East. When I lay down in bed, my head is pointed to the West because it's a good direction for me.

In that case, is it still okay for me that when I am in bed, that my head is pointed towards the West e…

Hi, the seller left the garden shrine (a four faces god altar) at their front garden and refuse to dispose it at their own. The seller claimed that there is nothing situated on it. What is the proper way to dispose it? or i can just hack it off as it is cemented on the ground.

Dear Kathy, For the purpose of drawing a Flying Star chart under the Compass School of Feng Shui, your home's facing direction should be considered as North. If the compass direction is exactly as drawn in the attachment, then it should be considered as Flying star chart N2 (352.5 to 7.4 degrees) or this is also a N2 0/360 degree home. Warmest Regards, Cecil
