Dear Anon, Please see below:- By definition, brown (and green) belongs to the wood element. For example, oak, teak, american cherry wood (dark or light) etc.. belong to the wood element in lieu that their colour is brown. Where it comes to pine, it is still wood element but an experienced Feng Shui practitioner would ask their clients to avoid this type of material i.e. pine ( sold in IKEA ) as it resembles closer to `yellow' or earth element. Therefore, if in doubt, a FS practitioner would normally, try to advise their clients to go more for other popular wook grains such as teak and the popular cherry wood type of colour. 1. For most shapes, colour takes precede…

These are some considerations: 1. Water is not necessarily a bad thing if it is permanent as opposed to seasonal. 2. How the home is built and facing would determine whether it has good, bad or neutral Feng Shui. Reference: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=29&mid=11355&new= 3. The major concern is the effects of global warming and the irratic weather behaviour. Hopefully this does not translate to extreme flooding on the property especially if the creek overfills.

Dear Anon, Every home (landed property) and apartments (condos / apartment / flat) have their distinctive Feng Shui. So in terms of Feng Shui for a condo: The Centris; if we consider an individual unit vs other units, then there are always some units that may have superior Feng Shui vs other units. Thus, a recent post asking how is the Raintree condo, again, usually in each plot of land there are invariably good or not so favourable units. As mentioned previously, all homes may or may not be affected by the "hot" afternoon sun; Your question relates more to the "marketability" and whether your unit can become an asset or end up as a loss. Thus in terms of good m…

Hi Master Which are the locations that can place indoor water feature in 2025? Thanks for the advice in advance. Regards Alice

Dear Angie, There are two sides of the coin to this:- 1. Generally, from a hobbist point of view, many things can affect the lifespan of fishes: such as the ph-level, water content, age of goldfish(es). 2. From a Feng Shui point-of-view, often, this is a blessing in disguise: as such deaths often are said to be 'sacrificial' to our own well-being. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Our house is located behind a church and graveyard, not directly about 30 m away, the church does not have a tall spire but a top like a castle. I wonder if I should put something on my front door to ward off any unhappy vibes from those who have passed away. Generally, the only thing about the Church is not to have the house face the Church Cross. As it is like a Sha Qi to the house. The other thing is sometimes Church bell may be a little nosy. But other than that, it is usually not a major concern. If the house cross faces the house, then you might have to put some mirror to reflect it away. The graveyard might be more probablematic as it …

1. In my opinion, it is difficult to comment with the limited information; available. 2. Often, when it comes to the question of : Should I move? For many, the question posed is: will my new home be better or worse than the current home. 3. For many (unlike yourself); perhaps have stayed in a home; not much fantastic Feng Shui luck; but still can scrape thru. What happens if the next home has worse Feng Shui; or similar to what you may have encountered? 4. However, in your case; I am not sure how detailed the "Feng Shui" analysis and cures that was done previously. 5. On your question of "how extreme to have to move": Currently para 4; is a real question mark; and you ha…

Dear Rachel, Rachel R. wrote: My question is : If I want to obtain a bazi element report for my son, do I use the monkey hour or the dog hour as his hour of birth (since he was born last Saturday 23rd Aug 2008 at 4.58pm British Summer Time GMT +1 )??? Our stand for all time zone related is to use the local time of birth. This is because to factor in location, the only true way is to input the long. and lat. of birth. But that adds further degree of error and not everyone will record this information, so not practical to be used. So you should use the hour as in the hour when your son is born. So for example if he i…

Dear Cecil Lee, I have read your posts about belief in bunk beds, but wanted to share my specific situation and get your advise, not just about bunk beds but in general. I have two daughters - 2 year and 4 year old, used to sleep in their cots so far, but have moved to a bunk bed recently. Not enough space to have separate beds. The 2-year old sleeps at the bottom and the 4 year old on top bunk. This is a traditional bunk bed - same size as top and bottom and exactly on top of each other. Both have head towards East. The bed has a wall on one long side and about 1 feet of space on both head and leg side and open space on the forth long side. There is a wi…

Dear Masters I'm interested in buying a 4-room or 5-room flat of the Premiere. Would you be able to advise on the best units that we should consider given the ba-zhi of all my family members and the e-brochure attached? How much will you be charging forthis service?

Dear Sirs, thank You for providing helpful and original Feng Shui information. I am just learning myself that the westernized approach is very different from the original, so I do what I can to leave that behind and learn correct Feng Shui with all the kind help. So far I have learned that I have kua 9, where South (Fire), North (Water), East (Big Wood), Southeast (Small Wood) are my "strong"/favorable directions, and then when I look up my Ba Zi element report (unfortunately I am unsure of birth time, but I think all day is weak metal?) I read the same elements weaken my metal balance - and how can water make strong and weak at the same time? I have many philosophical qu…

Hi Master, i’m looking for help as the master room (in the picture), has a full window side, a wall sharing with toilet, a wall with door, and another wall with the wardrobe. Is it wise to open a new door (on the left), and close up the one on the right and hack away the wardrobe? Or is it okay to share wall with the toilet as the toilet bowl is not on the same wall as the bed head? My best sleeping direction is: North, East, South, South East.

Hi, would like to ask for help what is the best thing to do with 3 doors facing eachother?

Dear Daniel, I strongly encourage everyone to first grasp the fundamental principles of Feng Shui. When discussing two main doors, we are focusing solely on the 'end result' rather than the underlying causes of the situation. It is essential to comprehend the root of the matter; initially, the number of main doors—whether two or three—is not the primary concern. In 'proper' Feng Shui, if a house has two doors, it is advisable to conduct a Feng Shui audit to explore the scenarios associated with using Door A versus Door B. If one door is found to be more auspicious than the other, it is preferable to utilize that door more frequently for our own purposes. Our con…

Dear Nina, 1. One option is to acquire mosquito larvae granules, which can be found at various plant nurseries throughout the island. The cost for a bottle or packet ranges from S$3.50 to S$4.50. 2. A single tablespoon of these granules can sustain for several weeks. 3. Regarding fish: There are numerous interpretations concerning the quantity of fish: 1. The concept of Yin and Yang suggests that water is associated with Yin (softness). Yin is also symbolized by even numbers such as 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc. To achieve balance in a fish tank, it is recommended to have an odd number of fish, as odd numbers represent Yang. This creates a harmonious presence of both …

Dear Anon, 1. A lot of people face difficulties when their desk is in front of a window with a beautiful sea view behind them. Choosing a low or back cabinet, if possible, is usually the best solution. 2. Another option is to position the desk in a way that allows for proper support, like against a wall, while facing a more favorable direction. 3. It's better to sit in this setup rather than having your back against a door or other less fortunate locations. 4. In these situations, one might have to consider other factors like luck, especially the Feng Shui of the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil +++ In Summary When setting up a de…

Dear Chee Guan, LIM CHEE GUAN DAVIDE wrote: we have seena house south east facing.my kua is 8 as my wife kua is 1. As facing SE is her sheng chi position but is my jue ming position. Should we proceed This depends on who is the breadwinner. If you are the breadwinner (which is usually the head or male of the house), then this isn't an ideal house for you. The house must first suit the breadwinner so that he can get the luck from the house. The spouse can then get a more suitable bedroom so that she can get the better luck from the bedroom. As mentioned, if you are the breadwinner, then this may not be the most advisable house at least from the suitability perspective.…

Hi Master. I have a question regarding Ba Zi personal dressing colors. I understand the importance of wearing the most suitable colors according to our element needs, but it’s some times difficult to convince women and young children to follow that. So, I wonder if special jewellery with elements marks ( fire, water etc) could suit the requirements of Ba Zi, bypassing the limitations for the dress code. Thank you

Dear Anon, There original intention is for monetary use and not for Feng Shui. The larger ones usually have higher monetary value. I hope I have understood your question correctly. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sophia, Feng Shui is about Earth Luck. But most of the time Human Luck is equally important. Human luck often relates to family ties / family bonding / relationships and yes, hobbies. Since this is your husband's past-time or hobby, like many others, it is perfectly all right to collect them as this brings a good sense of feeling for him. Is also indirectly good for the family. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Master, First of all wishing you a very happy and prosperous year ahead. I am very new to this forum and this is my first post. I have a question running in my head. I am in service. Work place that is assigned to me is obviously a "CUBICLE WORK SPACE", where i do not have the freedom of organising my furniture or my sitting position or anything. In this scenario please please suggest me 1 or 2 or 3 Feng shui objects that i should keep in my office cubicle work place for 1. Success 2. Good Fortune & Luck 3. From Enemy,Jealousy,Backbiters and Office Politics. Before giving you details about my sitting position, I would like to add, I love Bamboo Sticks in small g…

Dear Maggie, 1. Yes, what you had described is a Chinese cultural belief or taboo. 2. And, many Chinese fear of repercussions such as not only complications but - the concern of a miscarriage. 3. This is especially so for the bed. For example, once pregnant, the Chinese believe that one must not shift or relocate the bed (on which the pregnant person sleeps on). 4. Even if one needs to move house; for example, NO CHOICE because they had sold the house before delivery, the pregnant person must avoid seeing the event i.e. moving her bed etc.... 5. As for the renovations in the kitchen, the stove is a major concern also. And where possible try not to remove the sto…

Hi, Please see below:- When contemplating the placement of a swimming pool, it is crucial to consider the following important aspects: 1. The swimming pool must be assessed concerning both Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and the principles of Flying Star Feng Shui. 2. Ideally, it should be situated in front of the house; for example, when facing the main entrance and looking outward, the swimming pool should preferably be on the left side. 3. It is essential to ensure that the swimming pool does not have sharp edges directed towards the house, as this is regarded as Sha Qi or a poison arrow. 4. The design of the swimming pool should refrain from e…

Dear Karen, 1. Honestly, there is not much that can be done in such a situation. 2. According to the Commonsense approach to Feng Shui, the primary concern is the increased likelihood of a fire originating from the kitchen. Therefore, it is generally not advisable to have a bedroom, door, or wall adjacent to the kitchen. However, in contemporary settings, the installation of fire sprinklers (or, if unavailable, the strategic placement of smoke detectors) is highly recommended. 3. If your residence is constructed with brick walls (or solid brick walls), it is preferable compared to having gypsum or wooden walls that separate the bedroom from the kitchen area…
