Dear Cecil, What does computing (programming, network solutions, consultation, etc) belong to? And what about trading? Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Marian, Please see below, This is because it is so easy to quote raw data in only just a few lines and wait for a full assessment. Imagine, if every forum member does this, I am not sure how I am going to manage it. There are already specific tools available. Or make use of any competent FS practitioners anywhere. So, I really appreciate if users do not simple quote such information. Especially in this forum since it is specific only to that individual. As another person's home will certainly not share the same stars or Gua (Kua) number. It is best to use a three-step approach to form the basis of solid grounding in Feng Shui: 1. Understand the purpose of each c…

1. Frankly, there are more in Feng Shui than what you had mentioned. 2. The info and the enhancements that you want to make in my opinion, is like trying to apply "Kindergarten Feng Shui". 3. For those who want to DIY and use many of the "logic" found below, should seriously scrap applying this type of kindergarten Feng Shui. Here, it is better to go with your feelings than to "considering painting the front door black to help enhance my career/wealth ". 4. Proper Feng Shui has no precedence with ideas and hopes, below. 5. For those who really only want to DIY, have to really find means to enlarge your Feng Shui knowlege. Frankly, this cannot do.

These are the key ingredients:- 1. Understanding the significance of "the mouth" of the home; 2. Flying star is about "the most yang" Qi. 3. an experienced Geomancer often tries to observe a owner's habit 3.1 For example; for an apartment does the owner frequently leave the main door open or slam shut most of the time etc.... 4. Other possible measures include drawing up a few charts and if this is existing home, compare it with the past history of the home. There are more.... Go do a search ....

Dear Glyn, In general, the `calculation' of the amount of water is similar to the `calculation' for Missing Corners. This should be less than 33.3 percent of the house. Here we are talking about e.g. pool water. However, FIRST PRIORITY should be given to the consideration under the Shapes and Form i.e. it should not be in the centre of the house, the back of the house etc... Waterfalls with water in storage tanks etc.. are least affected because this is mostly installed by building owners and it usually does not exceed a `small' percentage of their land area. On the micro-level, it would depend on a person's element and how well it goes with water. For example, if a pers…

Hi Anon, I believe it that is refering to the Flying Star concept. There is a description which is quite similiar, Up mountain and Down Mountain. So 7 Up could refer to Number 7 Star in the Up mountain or 7 Star in the Down mountain configuration. Up mountain and Down mountain simply refers to where the mountain is located ether at the front or back of the house depending on the frontage. Hope that helps.

Let me share with everyone ... 1. My original forum was a third party forum started around 1996. We (Geomancy.net) started our very own forum two years later. This is where we have maintained every single message since then. 2. During that time, there were few Traditional Feng Shui websites and many "Fung Shoey" websites catering to the Fixed Template Fung Shoey appeared nearly every day! 3. For example, if one checks back quite alot of forum messages, it has to do with discussion on Traditional Feng Shui vs Black Hat Sect (Lin Yun) and Fixed Template Feng Shui. 4. In the past, there were few resources dedicated to Traditional Feng Shui. And many western Feng Shui sit…

1. For a fish tank with GOLD fish(es):- Traditionally, should have 7 gold plus one black. Total = 8 fishes. Or as a last resortwhen say one of the gold fish dies.. then it becomes6 gold plus one black. 2. In modern times (today) For koi fish(es), in general, many who can afford to rear such a fish, usually have a large (larger) pond. And it is acceptable to rear as many as one feel - comfortable with it. As 8 koi fishes can seem little in a averaged sized pool. 3. Based on a famous Chinese koi fish painting: this painting has a total of 9 plus 9 fishes (which symbolises 99 ) or longevity! When we count the fishes it is actually 9 + 9 = 18 fishes. 4. On a practical si…

Dear Cecil, Base on your advice, can I confirm that it is ok for a person who is born in the year of Dragon, ableto keep a dog as apet? Also, isit advisable for this individual to keep soft toys or pictures of dogs in the house as dragon clashes with dog? Please advise. Thank you. Sharlene

These are some considerations: 1. When we reference a home with compass directions; and if one is trying to apply a Feng Shui concept to this; 2. Then, the Compass School of Feng Shui comes into mind: Eight House concept and Flying Stars 2.1. Eight House concept to find or nice-to have one's head sleep facing a good direction and if possible sectors that are favourable to the person. 2.2. In your case, when applying traditional Feng Shui = Flying Stars; determine or confirming that the facing direction may be actually West sitting East. And in addition, find out whether it is a W1, W2 / W3 facing and which period it is in. 3. Then plot the flying stars and applying this c…

thank you very much, Mr Robert Lee.

Dear Anon, I believe, this is not fully explored under the Pillars of Destiny. So, in my opinion, I am not able to really answer your question for now. As we have already developed the Pillars of Destiny analysis at geomancy-online to analyse complex relationships, Robert, will keep in view this and maybe one day, we can using computing power to find out if there is any truth in this thru the participation of those who had a c section. One interesting to note is that we did a `different' (more for fun) analysis based on trying to find a good date for our nephew's birth. I mentioned it is for fun because, my sister-in-law's birth is a natural one. What Robert did was to ch…

Dear Anon, Personally, I do keep two plants outside the living room window. Without much care, they are always flowering. This is considered a good sign especially when the plants grow well. In a way, one can consider plants as a good indicator of a looking at a location's "health". It is not advisable for a plant to be placed inside a bedroom because it is growing and in this situation, creates yang Qi. It is acceptable to have plants grow in planters outside the bedroom window. This is ok because the plants are not actually located inside the bedroom itself. In Singapore, placing potted plants on window verge is not allowed if it can fall and hurt someone downstairs es…

Dear Anon, 1. One view point is based on the symbolism of the two symbols: Circle represents the Metal element Triangle represents the Fire element. Under the destructive cycle: Fire destroys Metal. One interpretation of wealth creation is where if Fire is strong, it can destroy Metal to create wealth. 2. However, since the metal is surrounded by Fire, another point of view is that Fire is used to control metal element. Under Para 1, it is `wealth' creation. While under Para 2, it is used as a controlling element. For example, when we use 6 coins to represent Big Metal, it is good to use Red string to control the metal element. (Where Red represents the Fire element). The…

Hi Master Cecil, Btw I am in KUA 2 and my wife is KUA 6, both are West Group, therefore do we suitable to buy or consider Brownstone EC? Thanks for your advises. Best regards, GSGS

1. It is best to check whether the NW sector of your interior apartment is not a "missing corner". If so, and if you have a garden, it is good to either use landscaping to form an outline of the "missing corner" or install a light at the corner of the NW to "extend" the missing corner. 2. Generally, if this is the exterior of the home (apartment), then often, planting greenery is acceptable. I see that you are not applying Flying Star Feng Shui. But rather, trying to apply "fixed template" or looking at at sector and looking at what colours are best for it. 3. In my opinion, always try to keep the garden as "natural" as possible. Thus, plants are acceptable. If Flying …

Dear Kaushal, 1. Salt is commonly used more in western countries or `western' practitioners (not necessary FS practitioners). 2. You can certainly try using salt although it is not `proven' or used widely in Traditional Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Janice, Overall, there should not be any worry here: 1. Under the Feng Shui concept - If you cannot see it, it is not a "threat". Here, since the items are `kept' in the built in drawers, there is no cause to worry unless you start to place `dangerous' or inflammable items eg. inflammable liquids etc... 2. Some Feng Shui practioners I understand say that one must sleep on a bed with e.g. 4 legs to let Qi circulate under the bed. Here, there is really no cause for concern because: a. Many Japanese have been sleeping on floor mats for centuries. b. Many "boxed" beds with springs equally do are not "hollow" below except for four rollers. These beds for example are foun…

Hi Master Robert Will it do harm if I place both the 6 coin and 6-rod windchime at the west of my house?

1. Contrary to popular belief, please take note that a closed fridge is considered as belonging to the metal element. 2. Thus, for those who wish to have more metal in the kitchen may consider a bigger fridge. Thus it is acceptable to have the fridge face a stove in many instances. While trying to avoid the basin (washing tap) facing the stove. This is no good.

One reason is So long as having a furniture or a table at the location is acceptable. However, in my honest opinion, it is best not to place e.g. a decorative piece such a porcelain vase etc... where possible leave this location blank' of any objects that may sway the `neutral' balance to any of the elements. For example, best also not to place a PC or TV set directly at the middle point. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Feng Shui cannot be done by remote-control. For example, if one does not stay in that home; one's earth luck does not come from that home. 2. Like any other investment decisions; if we ourselves have some concerns in a property, do assume that others would so the same; later if one intends to sell it off. 3. For example; Block and unit numbers of apartments does not come under Feng Shui. But for majority of the Chinese; we may be concerned of numbers especially if a unit has #04-44 etc... 4. Many of us are already aware of much of the factors that may be considered as "bad" or poor Feng Shui like: a unit directly facing a road and other neighbouring block's sharp or…
