Dear Sophia, There are generally three meanings associated with birds:- 1. Longevity Paintings usually with white birds signify longevity. And thus one of the connotation can mean that "100 birds signify living to" guess what age? 100 years! Imagine! even by today's standard, living to a ripe age of81 or 91 years canalready be difficult for majority of us. Not say until 100! Thus, I strongly believe, a painting with 100 birds (usually whitecoloured bird such as cranessimply signify this. 2. The Phoenix 2.1 In many traditional wedding cards; one can find a motif on the invitation card with a Phoenix and dragon motif. The phoenix represents (female - bird or yin), wh…

Further to what I had mentioned, I will be more concerned if it is 100 bats "flying" away as unlike birds (which is not highly regarded unless it is the stork - long life), the bats are reverered - and highly regarded. As the phonetic sound of bats is that of good fortune and often denotes happiness! And often 5 bats symbolises "five blessings" in life!

Dear Joanne, For a trailer, the most important area is the siting or site of the trailer. In my opinion, this has the most impact on your Feng Shui. Other than that, since it is considered small space, not much one can change the structure of the trailer. Depending on the nature of use of the trailer, if it is more for rest, after work, then, priority should be given to its location close to work, convenience store and its surroundings. Hopefully, the surroundings is not `dry' or unprotected e.g. barren land and no trees. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joan, Please see below:- Since there is a `demand' for fortune of the 12 animal signs here goes:- http://sg.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2003.htm A more accurate forecast is based on the following link:- http://sg.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/forecast-2003.htm Please refer to the attached caricature on why I personally find the forcast for 12 animal signs need to be looked at from a `different perspective'.

Fullerton building

1. Frankly, it is difficult to follow all the descriptions you wrote, below. Quote: Does the building year change where one should place the rooms? 2. I am not sure what you mean by the above.If you are saying that you are relocating or changing place of sleep for family members, than a room is a room is a room. And it does not change the building year. Quote: Helena W. wrote: The house me and my husband purchased has a winding road hills and gentle sloped land however all the rooms are in the wrong spot.Main entrance directly north when you walk inside you end up in the kitchen...there is another entrance almost directly east however the paved road does not natural…

Dear Max, 1. Yes, in a general `reading' taking into consideration one's YEAR of birth i.e. for those born between 18 Feb 1958 to 7 Feb 1959, the YEAR element is an Earth Dog. 2. Pillars of Destiny based on YEAR, MONTH, DAY and TIME of birth. In the " Four Pillars" analysis, not only is the YEAR element i.e. EARTH-DOG is looked into but also the MONTH, DAY and TIME of birth. Under Pillars of Destiny, the main important element is the MONTH of birth and the other variables i.e. YEAR, DAY and TIME are looked at in total. Thus one can be a " EARTH - DOG " based on the YEAR of birth but, this is too general and has to be looked into in greater detail based on Pillars of Dest…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I plan to get a first level (ground level) condo with PES and is facing a pool. Could you advise me anything that i need to take note while selecting the unit. Frankly, each unit is unique on it's own so it hard to tell you what you should be looking out for.All I can is to look out for any general sha qithat might cut into your home and other shapes and form issues such as toilet center of house, missing corners etc. Pool facing units though good, but take note that it can also be noisy and sometimes may lack some privacy. Otherwise, frankly, quite difficult to advise unless you actually review the unit in detail. Hope that helps. Warmes…

Based on some customs: If the day is only a mixed blessings or inauspicious (not Very inauspicious) and for practical reasons, the 2nd person may enter the home (later) usually a few hours later (if they really need to be present) in the home.

1. Yes, since you are not a Cantonese a simple knockin say at the east or west wall will do. 2. Other points you had mentioned sounds reasonable or OK.

Dear Master Cecil, I was reading an older post in this forum about how far from the bed a poison arrow had to be (when the wardrobe is made of hardwood) and I was curious to know more about the distance of 2 1/2 feet. Does it mean that if the poison arrow created by a wardrobe, for instance, is more than 2 1/2 feet distance from a bed, considering an imaginary line at 45 degress angle, it can be less felt and the sharp chi gets somewhat diluted? I am attaching a picture of the bedroom future set-up and I wanted to ask your opinion. Do you think it is worth considering buying a wardrobe that has round corners or this layout would not present a ser…

1. Frankly, applying Numerology is a catch-22 situation. 2. There are so many various methods of Numerology and also some combined it with "phonetic" sound like... "4" Cantonese regard as death etc... 3. There are Chinese methods, Indian methods, and many other cultures also have their methods. 4. Thus, would you want to hear "50-50" of the time, some one telling you this number is BAD! Then later, hear from another it is good! 5. Under the holy trinity of (Chinese) luck:- 5.1 Heaven luck - what one is considered to be born with 5.2 Earth luck - the influence from staying in a home or working in an office. 5.3 Human luck - relationships, family bonding. Thus, the Ch…

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, the 2nd floor may affect the Feng Shui (below - ground floor) especially if the "two units" are not "identical in layout". For example, if a home is converted into a "duplex" or the layout of the above unit is not identical to the ground floor. 2. For example, we often find homes like a bungalow where things like the 2nd storey toilet may be just above our ground unit main entrance or sometimes it could be just above one's dining area. And for some Chinese who had placed an altar at the ground level; may also be affected if their altar is just directly below a toilet. 3. Otherwise, often, if both ground unit, 2nd storey etc.. share same layout pl…

My stove and sink are across from each other in the kitchen. If this is bad, what can I do without moving the sink or stove? Thank-you.

additional info:Both these 2 lofts have sufficient sunlight into the house from the big window (facing door), especially loft #11-11 the area is very bright & airydue to 2 big windows, as reflected in the drawing. Thanks Paul Poltik

Hi Anon, 1. If you are referring to two person say having the same element (ie weak water), then the answer is yes it is absolutely possible. In fact it is pretty common. Birth element can only have 10 different possibilities from weak/strong combination of 5 different elements. So very common. However, though both might have the same birth element, the ba zi luck will be different for the two person unless, the two person is about 60 years apart where there might be a possibility that the same birth chart might occur but very rare. 2. It is very common that two person will have opposite Eight House Chart. ie West is Excellent for one but Spook for the other. The way…

1. I don't want to add to the confusion, but, if you are born on June 5th 1988 (no difference between male or female); You are considered as a : Strong Metal person. And in the attached layout plan, (Male) ; this person is strongest in Earth 48 percent; Extremely weak metal only 4 percent and weak wood 12 percent. (This can be found under the topic " Your Five Element Breakdown). Note: above refers to Male: born on June 5th 1988. Quote: Mon D. wrote: Good day, Sirs. I have a 2 questions: 1. How does one find out weather he or she is more of the yin or yang? 2. Does the month, time, day, and year you were born play a factor in determining your element? I was bor…

Dear Anon, As there are various concepts and theories that affect this, perhaps, you may have to consider elimination:- For a start: 1. Stand at the main entrance and look out of it. Look for any poison arrow aimed at the main entrance such as a lone lamp post or any sharp objects e.g. neighbour' roof. Do the same for each window. 2. At the frontage of the house, are there lots of doors e.g. a set of main entrance door and many sliding doors. Here, too much doors or windows can make the house out of balanced and caused such problems. The above are two primary concerns under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. If the above not issues, than, more likely, it could be due to the birt…

Hello Cecil, I live in a 2 storey house. My garage is part of the construction of the house. Do I count the garage in my flying star/xuan kong map for the main floor? My bedroom is above the garage on the second floor. Which floor do I use to do the flying star grid? Do I use both and put cures on both floors? Thank you.

Dear Diane, As there are various FS theories, it depends on the application of these theories: 1. Shapes and Forms. Under Shapes and Form Feng Shui, both the ground floor and upper floor(s) should conform to this. Especially the placement of beds/ study table/furniture etc... 2. Eight House Theory. You can apply this to both the ground floor and upper floors(s) i.e. good to spent time at good sectors and/or (a bonus) facing a good direction. 3. Flying Star Theory. Other than to activate a mountain star, concepts of Flying Star can be applied at different levels. For mountain star (if it is found) should only be activated at the ground level of such a two storey house. It …

Ponder over this: MALE, HOUSEMAKER; WIFE = SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PERSON OR HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL IN HER CAREER If your home has TWO stoves in a similar situation; take extra care! Your partner (spouse) may instead be the one to have HER - LOVER! Hahahaha! Think about it! Flower of Romance, can/may/could be REVERSED!
