Dear Stephanie, 1. In my opinion, this is not a `major' problem when we consider many other problems that can arise from other `bad Feng Shui'. 2. Usually, when two doors face each other - it is considered not so good because of the belief that the two parties in either of the rooms may become logger heads with each other. Particularly if they are young children. For adults, it depends on the maturity of the parties. 3. Some FS practitioners may ask one to use a windchime (below one of the door frame of one door only). This is acceptable. 4. However, I feel that by closing one of the doors (when not in use is) a better option. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Dr Cecil Lee, Thank you so much for your wise advise and yes i believe now what you said made sense to me. soon after I changed the direction things have changed and thanks again. regards EC

Dear Adeline / All, 1. Coming to the question of the toilet. 2. For those who are aware of the Chinese tradition, in the past, Chinese homes (landed property) do not have a toilet inside their home. Toilets are always away from the home. 3. Frankly, and logically, for an apartment or flat, there is not much one can do to remove the toilet from the centrepoint of a home. As we all know the plumbing is fixed. And it moves down from one level to the other. 4. This is considered ONE leak. And more often, where possible, there should be or to avoid if possible, MORE leaks. One leak can often be negated by other positive qi. But, if a home has more than 1 usually 2 or 3 major …

Facing direction of a condo / home An In-depth understanding of the Frontage of a home. Is it always the main door? Who are the Conservatives & the Modernist. What lead to the Conservatives use of the Main Door only? 1. Who are the Conservatives and the Modernists? 2. An in-depth understanding of why the Conservatives has misunderstood the knowledge passed down by the ancients. For High Rise Compass Reading should be taken from the living room looking out of it.

Hi Penny / Master Cecil Thanks your interest. Looking at the whole block is also quite confusing as the lift lobby is facing South, looking out at a carpark, not very bright. When I try taking South as the facing, I go back to my unit, South is the kitchen area, quite dark (less sunlight comes in here) and looks more like the back than the front. Hence I have to seek advice from Master Cecil as to where is the actual facing. What happens if my facing is my neighbours' sitting direction as point block is a square, all 4 corners has a unit. Master Cecil, would greatly appreciate your advice. Best Regards Em free-advice Listmanager wrote: From: "Emily Ho" Dear Master Ce…

Dear Alice, If you can fax a copy of your layout plan to my fax: 64820570 and provide me an e-mail account, I can indicate it on the layout plan for you. Do let me have a short description of each side of your home or what you see from inside of each side looking outwards. Please also let me know the unit level. The e-mail account or a HP so that once I viewed it, I can either e-mail my comments. Warmest Regards, Cecil

These are some considerations: 1. Sun rays 1.1. Ideally, in an East / West direction; avoid the altar "soaked" in direct sunlight. 1.2. Thus if there is direct sunlight that shines and heat up the altar say from 7.30am to 10.30 or even 11 plus depending on the location it is placed, then there should be a blind or screen or curtains to shield the altar from direct sunlight.. 1.3. The above is more so, if the altar faces or has part of it soaked by the afternoon sun. It is not like you can go and buy a rayban sunglass for e.g. Guan Yin. 2. Ideally, the altar should not share the same wall as the toilet and also avoid having it face the bedrooms etc.. 3. Both in the Indian…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Is there any particular direction that the Kuan Yin altar must face? How about facing the main entrance ofa house? Is it OK? Or is it better to face the living room windows? Generally, any alter should follow the following rules:- 1. The altar should not face the main door entrance. This is like employing the god as a security guard for the house. 2. Try if possible not to let the altar face the dining table as the god will be looking at the food while you eat. 3. Try not to have the toilet located directly behind the wall that you place the altar. 4. The altar should not face into the bedroom. Generally, it is best to place the altar lo…

Dear Anon, Further to what I had mentioned, the key to understanding Flying Star Feng Shui is that "one must not simply - only eat and sleep on this method". I often see, some FS practitioners get into heated arguments on Flying Star Feng Shui. Looking only within the four walls in the home. Often, what is most important is that Flying Star is but one of the many methods used. Further more, I personally find that what is most important is the external factors. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, Basically, for the Eight House, any of the 4 directions are suitable for that person. It does not mean that a West house person must stay in the West house only or a East house person must stay in the East house. The purpose of 4 good and 4 bad directions is to give you a flexibility to choose a home suitable to the breadwinner. Given that a house has to suite the breadwinner first as he is considered the head of the house earning most to sustain the entire family. So as long as the house falls within any of the 4 good direction (ie Excellent, Prosperity, Health or Longevity) it is considered an auspicious home for that period. One note here. West facing homes unfo…

1. This has been mentioned many (many) times under previous postings:- 1.1. Under Period 8 [P8], (in general) without considering Shapes and Forms and other external factors:- 1.2 P8 NE and SW generally have favourable wealth qi. Only need to balance the sickness stars for these two configurations. 1.3 Under P8, South and East also do enjoy favourable wealth qi. For the East, just because of where the afternoon sun affects which part of the home.

1. In many of the recent messages, I had stressed that Shapes and Forms has a critical component: Qi. Here, with much understanding of how qi flows e.g. in a room. 2. The other critical situation is the "Ming Tang" or Bright Hall effect. For example; the frontage or even the main door area if possible should have some clear space. Here, clear space means that there is a likelyhood that qi can "collect" at that position. 3. Your question is very wide and "it depends". 4. The purpose of Flying Star Feng Shui is to see where the most yang Qi is located. And this is most likely the higher chance that qi can move into a home. 5. Here, the common denominator of both the Sha…

Is putting a plantat my desk to block good enough? 1. The best if you can put a partition or object (ie like a plant) to block the Sha Qi. In feng shui, when you can no longer see it, it no longer becomes a threat. 2. Some other ways if partition is not possible, is to have a circular mirror / a small dragon figuring to be placed on your desk to help deflect the poison arrow away. The first method above isbetterif possible. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOM…

These are some considerations: 1. In my opinion, it is not practical to comment on a pure black and white (flat surface) outline. 2. As there are many serious considerations: 2.1. So what if it is facing a "river". 2.2 As if I am not mistaken, in a highly populated area(s) many rivers MAY not support life. Thus, is the river you mentioned full of "live" or full of those smelly pollutants or even raw sewerage? This outweighs any other considerations be it within or end of a jade belt etc.... 2.3 The terrain of your home vis-?-vis neighbourhood built ups and inclusive of drainage from the property + your property in relation to service road(s) or even cul-de-sac etc... 3. …

1. Please take note that the "Pi Yao" is a modern commercial product. And such products appear in abundance only after the mid 1980's. 2. Many Geomancers, are not shameful, in promoting commercial products, as these brings in the bulk of their "ill gotten" gains. Some Geomaners even preach.... during their audit sessions: " You have to place this specific painting, here". 3. You might ask: "Where do I get this painting." 4. The geomancer say: "Come to my shop." 5. For the individual,THREE key concepts should be considered:- 5.1. CONCEPT 1: Under the Compass School of Feng Shui, the Eight House (East/West group) applies. The question asked is " Does the compass cha…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I u/stand that this yr 2006, the Grand Duke is at NW 292-307 which happens to be at my living room and I hv told all family members not to sit facing this direction. It is more important that you do not disturb the grand duke by having any major renovation done in this sector as this will immediately disturb him. As for facing him, though it is not advisable to facing him, this has lesser impact than having renovations done. So where possible avoid it, but more importantly avoid any renovation being done in this sector forthis year.

Dear Master, All the bed facing positions for my girl's room is very bad except one that is in her favor ie West. However, there is a toilet behind this wall. In other words, which is worst? Facing the death, disaster position or headboard sharing the same wall as the toilet? your sincerely, kim

Dear Elena, 1. You can also check out my write-up today: two parts: Part I & Part II : Facing direction of a home. 2.Under the above article, since your is a landed property, try to also determine the "Mouth-of-the-house" or generally where is the frontage of your home. 3. In your case, and based on your description, it would seem that your home facing direction could be the South as you had mentioned. 4. It does not matter if your front door or garage is at the north. 5. Often, especially for homes that suit your current description, and if there is a large lake, where the south side overlooks such a water feature or clear space then, there is even a clearer di…

Dear Carrie, 1. I am not sure if you have tried the method under http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm It is easier to use an ordinary compass. 2. All you need to do is to determine the direction of the main entrance door with reference to the centrepoint. 3. If one has purchased a Chinese Luo Pan, one would have seen that the needle is small and `difficult' to read properly the exact compass direction. Here, one should use a large compass i.e. not hand held but big ones placed on a floor for greater accuracy. 4. The best method is to use the Surveyor's method as highlighed under the above URL mentioned. 5. Alternatively, simply get hold of a survey company and pay…

Anonymous wrote: is it bad fengshui to have false ceiling if there are no beams to hide?esp atdining & foyer area? 1. It has more to do with "Commonsense - approach to Feng Shui". 2. For example, many false ceilings are made of gypsum board and these are light weight materials. But, even if the owners don't have bad feelings about it, but, your guests such as friends and relatives may sometimes give comments saying that they read somewhere that this is not good! 3. And if we get too many negative comments, we ourselves may begin to feel not very comfortable with the false ceiling. 4. In Feng Shui, there is no major concern, here as you had mentioned, there is no …

Hi, I need help with my fame/reputation gua, please. It is in the kitchen, so there is water, water, water. Furthermore, there is 12 inch high mirroring above the burners (good) and above all the counters below the cabinetry (bad).
