1. Some of the considerations when buying a landed property be it already built or going to be re-built share common considerations:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Want_to_build_your_dream_home%3F 2. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui:- 2.1 Majority of home should have "clear space" at the "frontage" to allow qi to "collect": this could be the garden of the home etc... 2.2 If a tall condo "blocks" your view or if your new home is within "prying" eyes of the units of the condo facing your home... many feel that it is no longer "privacy" for the home. 3. Under Flying Star, one would like to tap the Water star #8 and Mountain star #8 if it happens to be at the frontage or…

These are other major considerations:- 1. Location, location and location. 1.1 This has one of the highest weightage : Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 1.2 Even under this location, location and location "thing" external Shapes and Forms far outweigh; looking at just the micro-Feng Shui of the interior or layout of a home. 2. The "BIG PICTURE" or in many of the psychological concepts mentioned by motivational speakers the word "THINK BIG". 2.1. For example, how many can say that they stay in a home or premises that is not "anchored" on solid ground? As mentioned previously the only people not under this category could be on a ship; a structure on the sea e.g. a Kelong or woo…

Dear Susan, In Chinese culture, many traditional buildings have e.g. lions guarding the main entrance or other `fierce' creatures placed e.g. on a building. Thus, in my opinion, the "Gargoyles" that you had mentioned, served a similar purpose in some `western' buildings. For the Chinese, it is quite common to find a pair of dragons or a dragon "guarding" each side of the roof. However, this is usually found on temple roofs only. Most homes do not use such figurines. In Feng Shui, if it is a `public' building e.g. Chinese Chamber of Commerce Building or other public buildings that has a traditional touch, would usually place two lions on each side of the main entrance. War…

Hi, Please read below:- In the traditional, because Feng Shui came from China, the coins used were Chinese coins with a hole in the middle. However, the rational behind the coins is that the number 6 is already strong metal along with the coins being made up of metal creates a strong metal good enough to act as a cure whether or not there is a coin is a Chinese coin or not. Of course if the original coin has a square cut which is represented by earth, does give additional strengths to the coins however, realistically there is no point is purposely searching high a low for such a coin. Therefore, it is not necessary. Feng Shui can be cured with many basic items found …

1. If you have a sketch, it would be better! 2. Overall, so long as the spiral staircase is not facing the main entrance door directly, this is a plus point. 3. Is the steps for the spiral staircase fully covered or it is one "plank" onto another "plank" with open spaces in-between.

Dear Cecil Lee Thank you very much as it is veryinteresting to know some of the miniature tea-pot ancienthistory. warmest regards Sophia Chia

These are some of the considerations (without any ranking or priorities):- 1. Hopefully the stove is not directly at the NW cardinal point. If so, earth and water should be used i.e. Earthen pottery can be kept in a nearby cabinet close to or above or below the stove. And at least one bottled 1.5litre water should be placed nearby the stove area. This bottle should contain clear water. And replaced, say every few months since this water is not for drinking. 2. Preference for kitchen cabinet colours NOT to be bright chilli red or bright red colour. Earth tone or light grey or metallic or white is best. 3. Preference for even number of hobs e.g. 4 hobs instead of 3 hobs…

Hi, In my opinion, it is not based on Traditional Feng Shui. Perhaps, the author is capitalizing on the theme " Feng Shui " to sell the book. I have not read the book but it should be a book on " Pets." rather than FS. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Bridget, The two concepts are different:- 1. Flying star is about the luck of the house, where is the wealth stars, where are the inauspicious stars of the house. This analysis tells you whethera sector is good or not or how much luck you can get from the home itself. 2. Eight House on the other hand is about the suitability of the sector, or best direction. A good sector of the home based on the flying star does not mean it will be suitable to you or not. ie say the bedroom has excellent flying star luck, but if the bedroom sector falls in the North and your Eight House tells you this is Death/Disaster sector. No matter how good the stars of the North sector of t…

Dear Anon, For career etc, you can refer to this reference chart to give you some idea of the types of career:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/talknotes/talknotes.htm Anyway, here are the classifications:- 1. Interior Design = Arts (Water) 2. Media & Communications = Communications (Water) 3. Biotechnology = Mix of Wood (Techonlogy) and Fire (Chemical Processing) 4. Business Studies - Marketing/Sales (Fire) 5. Business Information Technology - Mix of Fire (Marking/Sales) and Technology (Wood) Anonymous wrote: Is it alright to drill hole on wall during the lunar 7th month? Generally, should be no problem.

1. Typically, it is advisable to keep the garage separate from the main living space, but this decision ultimately hinges on the overall layout of the house. In certain cases, integrating the garage with the home may be unavoidable. 2. In general, the devil's gate concept can be linked to the Flying Star theory. If the northeast sector exhibits predominantly "yin" Flying Star numbers, then this could raise some red flags. Otherwise, it is usually not a significant concern. +++ In Summary " The inclusion of the garage in a home's Feng Shui considerations depends on the overall energy balance of the property. Additionally, the alignment of devil's gate w…

Dear Robert, Thanks for your very clear advice which made sense. Once, I have determined my house, I will follow-up and submit the house layout and layout of the community. Kind regards, Daniel

These are some considerations: 1. Based on a quick glance and using the "eye-ball" method; most likelyhood the centrepoint is as marked in PURPLE = please see attachment. 2. However, for some people, the centrepoint or rather the center-of-gravity would normally be along the range in blue between the range of marking "A" to "B" thereabouts.

Thanks for the sketch. 1. In my opinion, the house you mentioned does not seem to belong to that group called house at a "T-junction". Thus this is a plus point. 2. Like any other homes; due diligence is required. 3. From a Feng Shui point of view; there are lots more consideration: 3.1. As you had mentioned; any water flow that can be seen from the home leading out towards the exterior especially if they are not covered; 3.2. How the rainfall drains out of the home. 3.3. External threats if any from sharp pointed roofs of neighbouring homes and other threats such as lamp posts etc.. etc.. 3.4. The gradiency and many other factors include the interior layout of the home.…

Dear Anon, Usually, the Feng Shui Masters use the I-Ching for prediction. As Feng Shui has limited scope and not a predictive tool. In order to do a computer program, the programmer must be as good or better at feeding it the inputs i.e. garbage in garbage out. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Is having a TV really bad inbedroom The rational behind a TV being bad is only because in the past the TV screens are more of those reflective types. Which looks similiar to a mirror. So it is said that when you sleep, your spirit leaves your body. It may get a shock when it sees itself in the TV screen. So this is why a TV is typically deemed bad. However, what if your spirit is the type that wants to look good, it will see itself in the TV, then comb your hair to before flying off. So ultimately, this is a matter individual perception. Furthermore, now-a-days with the LCD TV, there isn't any reflection at all. Furthermore, TV is a form of e…

Dear Mei Lee, Generally, it has more to do with "commonsense approach" to Feng Shui. This is because, if the site / slope is "well maintained" it is fine. But in some cases, such as poor piling done and due to heavy (or very heavy rainfall), and if the slope is not protected, we often see pictures on houses on the "hill" breaking up or the slope causing a landslide - coming down to the lower home. Frankly, this is quite rare. Warmest Regards, Cecil

I am so glad this topic was brought up. Cecil, I understand what you are saying in regards to using local standard time for Pillars of Destiny and Feng Shui calculations? But I'm completely lost when I try to follow inauspicious/auspicious days for my true element. I live in Los Angeles, U.S. (Pacific Standard Time) and when I look at your real-time forecast it is for the day ahead. So today is March 9th and your forecast is for March 10. Is today really a "rabbit" day instead of a "tiger" day for Los Angeles? Or do I just use the forecast for March 9th?

In my opinion, I have mentioned previously that in some instances; especially, if the toilet bowl is facing the toilet door; and for many toilet seat lids; along the perimeter; there is a gap; Thus, just imagine, if one were to flush the toilet bowl, with lid closed; and if the flushing pressure is strong; micro droplets may shoot out. and directly facing the toilet door; then it may contaminate that area with germs. No use with wind chime or other things; often closing the door (nice-to) is considered a better choice.

Dear Anon, For the ground floor, since there is a garage, best to close the garage door when not in use. Once this is done the middle door can still be left open without further issue. Thus if this is done, no longer compulsory to place the plants. For upper floors, try to close any one of the middleroom doors will do. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, Please see below:- This is the same problem faced by many in Housing and Development Flats where part of the Kitchen is behind the altar. Due to lack of space, you can place it with the kitchen wall (behind) it. However, it should not be directly behind the kitchen STOVE. Frankly, what you mentioned is not Feng Shui but `superstitious' belief. Therefore, I try not to comment on such matters. Perhaps you can use your `sixth' sense i.e if you are happy with it... this is usually ok. Warmest Regards Cecil

Dear Buck Seng, Thanks for posting your message. Frankly, the hardest to reply are messages related to Shapes and Form especially if one is not physically present to comment. This is many things can be missed out e.g. especially whether the TPE follows towards the house in a curved manner inwards or outwards. In addition, the height of the flat and many more relating to the dragon and tiger elements etc... Therefore, I sincerely hope you understand that it is not fair for me to make a comment unless one is physically there. Shapes and Form assessment is unlike other questions posted here where it is about concepts etc... Other than Shapes and Form School, you sh…
