Dear Elizabeth, If the main door has two panels, you can open the side furthest away from the stairs. Placing a half door at the foot of the stairs can be done but not sure if there are any safety concerns i.e. making the stairway dark. One alternative is to place a mirror at the staircase landing (when the stair case `turns').

Dear Clern, Frankly, there can be many other reasons other than what you have mentioned e.g. pricing, market demand etc...

Dear Jody, The first thing you need to determine is which intangible force your main entrance door is at. You mentioned that it is spook/disaster. However, you need to further determine whether it is closer to spook or disaster from the mid-point of the main door. If it is the spook intangible force, you do not need to do anything other than keep the location bright e.g. neutral colour white will do. However if the disaster line flows through the main door, you may like to take up any of the following suggestions:- Currently there are five methods of dealing with this (not in any order of importance):- 1. Change the angle of the door to face one of your best directions i.…

Dear Gwen, Thank you for your encouraging words. Your words will certainly motivate us to make the site better and better. Please see below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Monday, April 05, 1999 9:40 AM Subject: bedroom The characteristics of having two doors facing each other is that there will be a tendency for the two parties living in room 1 and say the master bedroom to have `frequent' disagreements or quarrels. As you have mentioned that both rooms have double doors, this can easily be solved (provided you are able to open only one side of the door and each is opposite / diagonal) t…

Dear Jenna, Thank you for bringing up a rather interesting question. Let me first elaborate that in the past, especially in China, toilets was never `attached' to the house. It is usually situtated a distance away from the house. However, in our modern society, this is no longer possible. Like the concept of the toilet, litter bins or boxes should preferably have a lid and closed when not in use. It should be emptied regularly. Where possible, use trash bags to contain fluids or liquid waste or drained away. The purpose of the lid is to keep any animals from scavaging the litter bins. It is acceptable practice to keep the bin below the sink (for those who have an electric…

Dear Jon, For plants, it is acceptable to have plants in or outside the home. The important thing to remember are:- 1. Avoid having a lone large tree in the front of the house. 2. For plants, avoid too many plants at the North East (Devil's Gate), West (Yin location) and South West (Devil's Backdoor). The reason for the above is that too many plants especially large plants create too `yin' an environment. This may create an imbalance in the surrounding and attract `spirits' to stay at the location. Another point to note is to keep the plants `neat' and `trim'. For other locations, it is also good not to have too many plants concentrated at a location also. In your case,…

Dear Luna, Yes, a water element in the position you had mentioned symbolically means `illicit affairs' and for a wife, it would not be advantageous to have a water position on the right side of the main entrance door. It is acceptable to have the aquarium instead at the South East corner which is the `wood element' area.

Dear Carol, The correct method is the head should be facing the good direction. For example in your case, if North is auspicious. you should have your head facing North.

Dear Eve, Traditional Feng Shui did not mention anything about the fridge as it was not invented yet. However, the number of fridge is not important as it does not provide warmth and effectively is `self-contained' box. Unlike the stove which is considered the `heart' of the kitchen, frige or a number of them are not that crucial. The only thing crucial here is that it must not be next to a `fire' element or if so, provide at least 6 inches or 130 cm distance.

Dear Elizabeth, As a guideline:- 1. The aquarium, most not be placed at the centre-point of the house. 2. Preferable that it should not be placed in the dining room. As you mentioned, it is acceptable to place the aquarium in the family room and on the `surface' it looks a sensible location to be placed. Where possible, if your house has an `L' shape configuration, symbolically, or through use of partition to `change' it to a square or rectangle shaped. This configuration is still the best.

Dear Garance, There are three Feng Shui emporiums in "The Feng Shui Awards" Page. If you have the time, check out these emporiums. I have a link at this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/award.htm I am sure, you can find your Luo Pan. I am not mistaken, in the above award page, check out " Roger Green's" site, in the past, I remember him selling an English version but I remembered it was quite expensive at $4xx.00USD (Cannot really remember this). Alternatively, you can buy a Plastic Feng Shui kit by Kwok Man Ho, I have a link in the books section i.e. http://www.geomancy.net/books/fs.htm Another alternative is to get the book Feng Shui by Derek Walters.

Dear Siu Wong, Please see below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Wednesday, April 14, 1999 6:16 PM Subject: Feng shui in the bedroom Frankly, the application of Feng Shui in the past was focused more on macro level e.g. the situation of an entire city etc... Only nowadays, as Feng Shui became `more lucrative' or we would like to be `comforted' by the thoughts that where we spent our time or at a specific location, could help us in our studies. For the young, especially those who are studying, my feeling is that it really does not matter i.e. to follow ad…

Dear Emma, Hope you can further elaborate. Are you referring to the number 2 after doing a Flying Star chart and you have a 2 influence at a specific location. Or are you referring to your address 2110. This is because " house numbering " method to see if a house is auspicious or inauspicious is not a good method of checking a house's birth chart. This is because, today, many Professional Feng Shui Masters use the Flying Star Analysis to find out e.g. the 2 or 5 bad stars are and if they had combined together in a location. Here, the difference, we cannot just look at the house number and come to some `conclusion'. But rather, combine the two schools of Feng Shui e.g. Sha…

Dear Betty, The most important thing to remember is not to place a wall clock above a door. Preferably, it should be placed at a location of activity e.g. close to the Television set or Hi Fi. (it can be above it). Another thing to note is that a grandfather clock is a better `subsitute' for a windchime. A few days ago, I tried counting my neighour's bungalow house. I counted at least nine different types of windchimes outside the west `wing' of the house (or the back door area). It so happens that this is also the WEST side of the house or the YIN side. Most likely, the lady who stayed there became insane because of the windchime. Personally, I would like to help but the…

Hi, House numbers belong to another category called Numerlogy. Frankly, the reason why in my opinion, I prefer to stick to Feng Shui is because in many places, numbers can mean different things. For example, the Cantonese (a dialect) group of Chinese say that no. 4 means = die. This is because in their dialect, the pronuciation of 4 is `say' or `die'. To them, they thus find the number inauspicious. While to them no. 8 mean `fart' or `prosperity'. Where else, in `English' astrology, they have the Four elements and some practioners find number 4 to be auspicious. Under the Flying Star Theory of Feng Shui, the worst numbers to avoid are like what you mention no. 2 or the s…

Dear Anita, Thanks for bring up this interesting question. We will first begin by looking at the `history' of Feng Shui in China. In the past, Chinese were mostly into agricuture (farmers ) and live-stock rearing. What this means is that food was obtain from the land. Eaten, and left overs were `re-cycled' e.g. as some of them they rear pigs, these "garbage" were given to the pigs to be eaten. Manure or other `solid' wastes were used to fertilise the land. From the above, you will notice that they (ancient Chinese) do not have what we have now... " garbage " in the form of non-biodegradable products etc..... Overall, Feng Shui is used to assess: in the above case of a hom…

Dear Kieron, Under Feng Shui, the most `vulnerable' area for poison arrows are: 1. the main entrance door. 2. the view from windows inside the house. The concept of `poison arrows' is that if you cannot see the poison arrow, there is no longer a threat. For a dying tree between your home and your neighbours, it is no `threat' unless: 1. it can be viewed from a window of a house and when it fulfil para 2 below. 2. when the tree disintegrates into a `tree stump'. When you only have a `broken' tree stump, this now becomes a `sha' provided when you peer through the window, it is tangent or perpedicular to it. In the long run, it is best to totally uproot the tree incase of de…

Dear Magnani, Please see below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Wednesday, April 28, 1999 9:35 PM Subject: shall I put all my water/wealth symbols in my hallway to my house? Based on the available information you have provided me, yes, it is acceptable to place a fishtank and a small water fountain on the left side of the main entrance. From what I can understand, I hope that the fishtank is not overall huge or large. A small water fountain is acceptable. This is because too much water can cause an imbalance of yin/yang i.e. too much water becomes too `yin' and as West (metal) is also a yi…

Dear Rose, Please see below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Wednesday, April 28, 1999 5:44 PM Subject: FIVE YELLOWS vs Properity in 8-House A accurate Flying Star chart, should preferably take into account:- 1. The birth chart of the house. 2. Your personal kua number. 3. The exact direction of the main entrance. (in 15 degree increments) Therefore, in my opinion, if something is so general as where it can be applied to everyone without taking into consideration a personalised Flying Star chart as basic as the birth chart of the house and the exact direction of the house, I will not consi…

Dear Rose, Please see below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Wednesday, April 28, 1999 7:59 PM Subject: Green Dragon and White Tiger Sad to say, I usually try to avoid answering this question. This is because, this falls under the Shapes and Form School and it is best to be present to look at the location before providing any comments. Not that I do not `trust' your words but in order to provide a good assessment, one has to be physically present to `review' this type of `question'. Hope you understand. This is because unlike a `True' dragon or tiger where you can actually see the profile,…

Dear Rose, Please see below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Thursday, April 29, 1999 11:10 AM Subject: Schools of Feng Shui Frankly, I have no time to develop another of my domain names: palmistry.net but at a later stage. In Chiromancy or palmistry, you can look at the hands and discover how many offsprings one have. Later on, after we have fully developed Geomancy.net, I will add modules on Chinese Face and Hand reading... So, do look out for more developments. As usual we will also merge technology with all available Chinese astrology, divinity methods ... isn't it exciting?

Dear Samantha, Congratulations! What you had mentioned is not Feng Shui but Chinese `belief' that when one is pregnant, one must not move the furniture especially your bed. To ward off bad influence, usually, the case is for an expecting mum not to be present during the move or to `see' the move. Put it another way, you should not be involved (in anyway) on the day of the move i.e stay at your parents or other family members home during the shift.

Dear Robin, Frankly, the best advise is not to purchase a flat directly above a garage as this is inauspicious and there are no known *effective* cures i.e. in my opinion, as of now, I cannot recommend any cures for this.
