General Help

Hi, Although there is a significance attached to the interpretation of each Trigram (hexagram) for each direction. This is about it. This is commonly known as the Eight Associations or Aspirations or Life Aspirations. One must remember that even the basic Compass School Eight house theory is personalised to a person i.e. based on his/her year of birth. Each one of us thus have a specific kua number. If you look at the Eight Aspirations Concept, it is applied to everyone and this really makes no sense. I have often quoted that if each of us e.g. 10 of us in an office places a picture frame or rose at the SW, and all of us are trying to get close to a specific colle…

DearCecil, Thanks so much for the prompt reply. Your opinion has been very reassuring. You are right, i supposed for most of us, we tend to look for 'concurrence' even if deep down we already have some 'innate guidelines'. And its great to know that everything is a blessing depending on how we interpret & take it! Thanks for your confidence; I 'll try to 'overcome' any seeming incompatibilities and strive to see the positive in day-to-day occurences. Wishing you the best of happiness, health & wealth! Take care & cheers! Chloe

Feng Shui is about Earth Luck. Relationships are built upon "man or human luck factors". Under Feng Shui, you can apply Flying star to activate the mountain stars.

Dear Christine, Please see below:-

These are some considerations: 1. No issue with a water position be it a water feature or aquarium. Even in some landed properties; an urn with lily plants and some small fishes (fishes to prevent mosquitoe breeding is ok). 2. Nowadays; the more affluent even have large sea water tanks that have slightly thicker walls. 3. Traditionally, in the past a fish tank is often used to neutralize a lamp post etc... 4. For a hobbyist, any size of fish tank is fine or ok. 5. But if for the purpose of Feng Shui; often seek advice from the Geomancer. As often if the Geomancer used proper tools such as the Flying Stars; areas that may need a water feature to neutralize it may not…

Dear Judith, Where possible, avoid having the bed on the small wall as the toilet (especially the toilet bowl). The above is the `worst' case senario. There is not much you can really do, unless you change the position of the bed. Warmest Regards, Cecil

So for example, if you check your date of birth for the breadwinnerand South-West is Excellent, then this house direction is suitable to you and thus,…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I started my new house renovation on 03/05/05 after refering to the Chinese calendar that it is a good date. One should always know that a Chinese Calendar (Tung Shu) as what most people come to call it is generally a date that is good or bad for most people. It does not personalise to each indvidual, so a date might be generall good, but it does not mean it will be particularly good for everyone. Each person has individual suitability so, some people may not be suitable for certain dates. Anonymous wrote: However , things did not seem to go well.

Dear Leslie, On the topic of the bathroom, here are some guidelines:- 1. It is advisable not to have the toilet bowl exactly at the true compass directions:- a. In general, avoid having the toilet bowl at true cardinal points e.g. 0 degrees North, 45 degrees North-East, 90 degrees East i.e. every 45 degree increments. The rationale is that under the Eight House Theory, there are 8 sectors with four good and four bad sectors, having the toilet bowl directly at one of these locations could result in it `landing' on one of the auspicious directions. b. In a more specific analysis using the Flying Star Theory, it is best to avoid having the toilet bowl fall exactly at 0 degre…

Dear Wasis, 1. Yes, the land, it is very vital to `control' water below us. 2. This is why, often a pagado was built along water channels below ground to try and neutralise it. 3. It is said that wells contain `spirts' and we have to control it. 4. We have to look at Feng Shui from may facets and angles. 5. In many fields, there are their specialisations. In Feng Shui also, many of us have our specific specialisation - that represents our location. 6. For example, in a vast relatively undeveloped regions, most of the Feng Shui work is related to the land, the `water' on this land such as wells and underground water movements. 7. In built-up regions, we see more double-tri…

Dear Shawn, The first priority under the Eight House Theory is to try to sleep close to an auspicious intangible force if you can. For example if the intangible force in the sector of the bed for the Husband is his Prosperity sector and for the wife, her Irritation sector, in such a situation, the Husband sleeps closer to the intangible force location. He therefore, sleeps closer to this intangible line. While the wife sleeps further away i.e. using him as a `shield'. Only after the considering the above and if you have the luxury, sleep with the head facing a good direction (if you can). If this cannot be done, than priority should be given to the above. Sleeping with t…

Dear Anon, Each has its advantages and disadvantages. 1. Usually, the 8 pie is easiest to do if one has a protractor or already has a predrawn transparency template done. It's so simple thus to determine the centrepoint and then immediately, sketch/draw the 8 pie on the copy of the layout plan. The 8 pie is also easy especially if the house is odd shpaed, with missing corners or you want to do an analysis which extends outwards of the house. It is also good for circular houses. Many Traditional Feng Shui practitioners like to use this because the numbers, Water, Mountain and Base stars, in my opinion can be neatly written and clearly understood. 2. The 9 equal parts, or …

Hi, Thanks for the information about the center of the house. I purchased the Fly Star report and ran it using the front door and the center of the house (as shown in the diagram). However, I just read on one of the posting that if you use the garage door as the primary entrance then the garage door should be the door should be used for the report. 1) Since we used the garage as our primary door, should I have run the report using the garage door? 2) We enter the garage through a main (large) garage door and then enter the house through a door at the front right side of the garage (see diagram). When running the report, Should I use the main garage door (large) or th…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. British English terms:- Ground Floor or First STOREY 2nd Floor or 2nd STOREY etc.. 2. Some architectural firms use US naming convention:- 1st Floor = Ground Floor 2nd Floor = 1st Floor (US uses FLOORs while UK traditionally USED to use STOREY.. perhaps, this has being "contaminated" by US language.) For example, UK uses flat. While US calls it apartment. 3. Thus in your case, since your country is Britain; then :- Ground Floor = 1st Storey and so on.. 4. From what I understand from you:- GROUND FLOOR (1st storey) = #01-xxx 1ST FLOOR (2nd storey) = #02-xxx etc....

Dear Anon, Although may not need to apply Flying Star Feng Shui to the home, we can apply one of te Flying Star concept of the " water star ". For those who are not familiar with " water star ", if we leave out the word star in this case, you can visualise that whenever there is water, usually the landscape is flat. This is the same concept under the " water star " Theory where the location should be `flat'. Contrast this with the " mountain star ". Where, a mountain is equvalent of a wall. The clue here is not to clutter the living room with tall objects. Objects in the radius of the living room should preferably be flat. For example as a guide it should not be taller t…

Dear Asucena, The `cure' depends on the element of the beam. If the beam is a wooden beam, it is best to tie 6 Chinese copper coins together and hang it on the beam. Here 6 Chinese copper (metal) coins represent `Big metal'. This is where metal destroys / neutralises wood (the wooden beam). If the beam is made of concrete, you can hang two wooden bambo flutes as follows: ------------- / \ flute flute You will notice that the flute forms the profile of the top of the Ba Gua or Trigram.

No matter how, just to take note that even for a Period 7 home, under Period 8, a period 7 home's chart would already lose some of its energy epecially if these were once auspicious under Period 7 e.g. double 7's etc... Since your layout is like it is, if you really need to use the stove, there is frankly not much choice unless one has a wet or dry kitchen or could bear buying a simple burner stove etc.. to be placed at another identified location.

1. In Singapore which is at the equator, the geographic north is very close (or equal to) the magnetic north. 2. If you have the time, can go thru some of the resources, under this link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=27494&new 3. If your condo is fairly new (less than 10 years old); most likely, the siteplan is still available from the sales brochure or on the internet. Or goto http://onemap.sg to use the streetdirectory plan and a protractor to obtain the correct compass readings. 4. Your readings often differ due to magnetic influence from steel structures embedded in the columns and even floorings. 5. Alternatively you may…

Thank you so much for your answer, so it seems that it would not be so harmless if I do make the fountain here, but when I am standing inside looking out (east), this fountain would actually be to my left hand side in the NE corner, what would be the implications now. Thanks again , Maria

Dear Anon, Quote: I wish totransform this area to a garden with proper lanscaping, will this affect my house's feng shui negatively? Most houses typically have a solid tile roof. Thus, there isn't much true resources in the past about such a concept since there isn't such a situation in the past. So this is a more of a modern time situation. However, my view of rooftop garden is actually good. Especially, because plants tend to act as shade for the roof. Thus, cools down the house. So garden for rooftop is fine. However, water feature on top of the roof will need to be avoided, as you do not want to have water over your head. This is like drowning your wealth. What yo…
