Dear Wasis, 1. Under the Eight House Theory, the only thing that we can do is to change the direction of the main door. For example, if the main door is facing North-East (and based on Feng Shui Master's recommendation); this door should change for two reasons:- 1.1. NE (direction) is considered the devil's gate. 1.2. If NE direction is not suitable to the breadwinner. Then, to `kill two birds' within one stone; the main door direction can be changed. (Again, it should be on the advice of a FS practitioner). It is normally not good to give a "wholesale" advise on this matter as a proper audit should be done. And the recommendation "depends" on all the various inputs tha…

These are some ofthe major Feng Shui considerations:- 1. Check to see if (especially) the direct opposite neighbour's home roof is not like a pointed arrow especially if it suppose to slice thru the proposed new main door of your home and or windows. 2. Also do check for any street lamps or signposts that slices or will slice the main door and or windows. 3. If you are constructing a new home under Flying Star Period 8: then if your home has clear space at the frontage, then a better facing direction is the Flying Star SW1 facing. As there is a water star #8 current prosperity at the facing direction. And there is a mountain star #8 at the back of the house. If the ho…

These are some considerations: 1. Before the final approval given to construct a new home; 1.1. Ground Floor compared to the 2nd storey layout 1.1.1 Try to superimpose the 2nd storey layout plan to the ground floor. 1.1.2 And for the Ground Floor level; look out especially for toilets at the 2nd storey. 1.1.3 Here, it is considered inauspicious to have the toilet especially the WC pipe(s) on the 2nd storey; above the main entrance door; and/or kitchen especially directly above the stove. 1.1.4 And any other living areas such as directly above the sofa or a bedroom. Also try to avoid the wc directly above the dining table. 2. 2nd Storey superimposed onto the groun…

Dear Jennifer, Since the basement apartment is at the back of the home. What is the view like from this back of the house? Most likely, the facing direction of your apartment is either facing the front of the house (if it is blocked by it) then most likely it could be the back as the facing direction. Or, in your basement apartment, are there windows? In particular, if there is a window in the apartment and it has a very nice view, then, this could instead be the facing direction. In my opinion, the most misunderstood issue on the bagua mirror is that one should not simply place it. As mentioned by many western Feng Shui sites or Feng Shui shops. Many of the western …

Dear Anon, You have to determine what is the purpose of the audit. If it is an audit of your apartment, then you should take a compass bearing of your main entrance door. If you are doing an audit of the entire building, then take a reading of the building entrance. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Attached is a rough sketch showing that most likely the home is nothing out of the ordinary. 2. Here, LEVEL 1 is often considered as the "ground floor" or level 1. 3. Just because your home has a basement dug in; this does not automatically mean that your Feng Shui "main reception area" or frontage is there. The basement is merely a convenient space to house your car(s) and allow easy entry and access to the cars via a so called door. 4. Thus LEVEL 1 is like most homes where supposely it is your main door entrance even if you enter via the "dug" out basement. 5. The sloping staircase, if you look at it is another block of landscaping that is perhaps higher than your …

Dear Kris, Please see below:- 1. There is a difference seeing three light lamp posts. This is because, from a window, most of us could see several objects. 2. What is more important is to check to confirm whether: does it `slice' thru the window? 3. If do, the most effective method is "if it cannot be seen, it no longer becomes a threat" i.e. a simple day curtain (that allows light to come-in, yet, can screen out the view.) Or the use of a window blind. 4. THE FISH TANK 4.1 Under traditional Feng Shui, some Feng Shui practitioners advise on the placement of a fish tank at the window area. However, please note that it is best that the breadwinner or his/her spouse is n…

Edited by Robert: There is no promise as to whether Cecil will have time to review the condo that you have listed as he is extremely busy. Hi Cecil, I am a new member here and find this site extremely interesting. It provides a comfort zone to analyse when one faces related feng sui issues. Had read your review and some of your feedback about condominium at or around Flora Road - specifically Dahlia Park and so. Wonder if you have any review about the blocks at Estella Gardens TOP 1999, which is located at Flora Road as well. Would appreciate your view. What do you think about this Project in general? and anyparticular view on the blo…

Dear Beth, I have already replied you with my analysis and other comments in an email. Briefly, the layout has three major flaws: (two with known cures the third - pseudo cure.. only) 1. staircase to upper floor can be seen directly from the main entrance door. As the distance is too close to the stairs, it would be difficult to use a door screen. I am not sure, if bead curtains are currently in fashion. This is one cure thou. Another thing is that staircase must have a turn instead of leading straight upwards to the second floor. 2. Toilet at the centre of the house (ground floor)... this is a fundamental flaw.. and implies money flowing away... Very difficult or rea…

Dear CJ, Again, here you still do not understand how Flying Star analysis works. 1. A house will have a flying star based on the year it was built. Meaning if it is built anytime before 1984-2003, this will make it a period 7 house, with a 20-year chart showing period 7 star as the base star. This will not change unless you effect a change to next period 8. 2. Such a period 7 chart will have different luck when you are in period 7 itself, and a slightly different chart when you view it in period 8. This is due to the fading prosperity effect. Meaning that if you viewed the report in 2000, the stars number 7 will be automatically auspicious, this is because of the spec…

In my opinion, the concept of evil eye differs greatly in many cultures. And the use &/or beliefs in an "evil eye" extends from the early Romans, the Greeks, Israelites, Tibetian, Turkish, Iranian, Muslimand a dozen or more countries BUT not the Chinese. The closest the Chinese have is the twin door gods to protect the home or the use of various types of ba gua mirror(s). The evil eyehas more to do with beliefs and culture or astrology. China or Chinese culture does not use nor featureprominentlythe "evil eye". So you asked the wrong question in the wrong forum. As I said, earlier to each, their culture. In Singapore, we do also have a predominantly Indian community a…

Master Lee, what you mentioned in this article about you being able to "see" or "feel" evil presences because you are a weak wood person was very interesting to me. My husband is a weak wood person, and I am weak metal. We are both "weak" people, but my husband is the one who often claims that he "sees"spiritsand even felt "attacked" by a spirit before. However, I have often dismissed his allegations in the past. I never once saw or felt any spirits in my life, even though I often come in contact with people who could see such things. Even when I lived withmy father for 21 years of my life - my father is a fanaticwho indulges in Thai cult buddhism -keeps lots of weird st…

Dear Regina, Thank you for making an effort to search the forum before, posting duplicate messages. Often, it is difficult to fault anyone who has taken much effort to search forum messages. I really appreciate it. And, hope many forum users make that extra effort to search for an answer. This is good, because, then, we can see more "quality" questions, and hopefully, see a reasonable response. I will be more than happy to go thru it. At the same time, for many users listening into the forum, it will be more rewarding:) For info, I remember that there were at least 25,000 users listening in thru e-mail. Although, they do not participate, but, many only posts questions th…

Please see sample extract from Geomancy.net's report:- It shows an extract of a person who belongs to the East group. And from the extract; one can see that the person's best working directions are those of his/her "Excellent" and/or "Prosperity". While "Longevity" and "Health" are usually meant more for the person's preferred best bed-head direction. If given no choice; it is even considered better to face "Longevity" and or "Health" as opposed to facing say the person's other "West" directions like West, SW, NW or NE.

Dear Anon, 1. I am not sure if this is a `consolation'. 2. Many new condominums, have units (frontage) facing swimming pools. Sometimes, this can be quite noisy, but, to some practitioners, it may imply `activity', which may be good. While others may consider it bad. 3. The best consolation is based on the fact that during Chinese New Year, the letting off of `firecrackers' create noise and this act "was" (nowadays banned in many countries) said to `scare away evil or bad luck'. 4. *JOKE -start-* If noise can `irritate' us, it will most likely `irritate' (if there are any) non-humans. *JOKE -end-* Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ann, I strongly believe that there are more sectors that need balancing also. However, for a #3, #9 and #7 combination, it is not too good an idea to use water here:- 1. #3 is a bad wood element. And water helps to further fuel bad wood! 2. #9 is under Period 8, the "Future prosperity star" and if it is also the ws#9, then avoid adding water! This is because 9 = fire element. And adding water would drown your "future prosperity". 3. #7. Actually, #7 is a weak metal. And can easily be exhausted when it takes care of #3 bad wood. (Here, metal destroys wood or exhausts it.) In fact, #9 is also used to control #7. Thus, a water position is not an ideal thing to us…

These are some considerations: 1. Some geomancers strictly define the main entrance as "standing inside the main door looking outwards". 2. If so, then this answers yourquestion. 3. Why we need to take a compass reading? 4. Taking a compass reading is not merely to do it for the sake that it has to be done! 5. The true reason is to find where the most "Yang Qi" be it: especially wind enter the home most of the time and a plus if there is yang qi (brightness). 6. Why? 7. As the clue is based on Para 3, above: compass. The main purpose is to use this to try and figure out where is the most yang qi ; thus where is the FACING direction of a home. In doing so, we can then acc…

1. The best approach is to apply Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui (Flying Star). 2. Thus, if the person who has told you that your swimming pool is located in an inauspicious location and due to their review as mentioned under Para 1, then, the best way is to draw up a Flying Star chart to analyse the sector's Flying Star numbers atthe swimming pool. Here, you may derive the cure after the assement is done.
