General Help

Dear Joe, Please read below:- Suggest you have more wood colors which helps to enhance your weak fire. What is more important, is that the house must first suit the breadwinner, after it meets that. As for the other person, it would no matter so much to that person. However, given the person is a strong water, the person should control his strong water with wood element. Which happens to be the a weak fire. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

These are some considerations: 1. You did not mention how his MIL died. 2. Usually, if it is old age or common ailments such as a heart attack or even terminal cancer etc... In my opinion, there is no major concern with it. 3. In my country; 80 percent of the time; the body (was) cremated. And if it is via cremation; even best as cremation is neutral vs burial. 4. Anyway, frankly, all of us one may must perish. And as mentioned; if it is through natural death; then most of the time no issue.

Hi, So far there is no evidence to say that a ceiling fan or light bulb is bad. One reason is because most ceiling fan or light bulb do not have `poison arrows'. Therefore in my personal opinion, both are generally ok. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lia, 1. Yes, you have brought up a very good question. 2. However, the Key Success Factor here is to take The Five Elements Concept to a higher step. 3. Hint: It has to do more with the concept of Strong or Weak. 4. Drawing a parallel, in Ba Zi, one must ensure that one get one's element not only correct but also whether it is `strong' or `weak'. 5. Unfortunately, for Xuan Kong or Flying Star Theory, many of the bad earth belong to the Strong Element. 6. For example #2 and #5 are strong earth element. 7. When countering strong earth, one should where possible avoid wood element. 8. No doubt, wood is acceptable to destroy weak earth. But it is not a good solution to d…

Dear Anon, Thank you for your sketch. Based on your sketch, it looks like your bed has been placed in a good Shapes and Form layout plan. To confirm, please refer to the attached file and the markings indicated:- Marking `A' preferably your bedroom door should be located here. Marking `C' - windows on this side Marking `D and E' - preferably, the bed should rest against a solid wall. And it is acceptable to have windows on the side of the bedroom at location marked `D' and/or `E'. Frankly, under the Eight House Theory ( East/West Group) of persons, there is not much one can do other than to move room. For those, who want to go further into more advanced Feng Shui can ex…

Dear Johanna, In fact, many people would fall into your category of having chosen "wrong homes". What is more important is a "holistic approach" to Feng Shui. What you had mentioned is like the "tip-of-the-ice-berg". Generally, what you had described has to do with the eight house theory. It is only one of the sub-divisions of the Compass School Feng Shui. As mentioned above, a holistic approach is if one really applies Feng Shui to review or access a situation or home / office is to apply:- a. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui b. Compass School: Eight House with Flying Star Thus, what you had described is just one sub-division of the Compass School Feng Shui. A full F…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Egronomics is all about the user and his/herinteraction with the work place. 2. Who cares if people tell you that books are like knifes! I always remind my clients that when you were studying;we always place our books or semister's booksand even some toys or dollsclose or withinstudying (or even working) distance! 3. Just imagine; is'nt it a joke, if within our work area, we have to constantly open abookshelf doorfor commonly used books or items. 4. For books or items that we don't frequently use, then we may haveshelves with doors and often higher up where we don't need to reach them often! You wrote in italics, below:- 2)…

These are some considerations: a. Frankly, from a micro-level one of the basis is to compare the designs to determine which element it belongs to. (http://talk.geomancy.net ) b. In general: 1 = metal element; 2 = earth element; 3 = wood; 4 = water (but due to jaggered edges should be avoided). c. Thus designs with stars or pointed diamond shapes - if doubt avoid such wall papers. d. Neutral wall papers are those in the examples: 5 and 6. Or those grainly rock-wall rough creased designs. e. In addition, the colour of the wall paper should also be considered in addition to the design. f. Furthermore, there is a purpose for this saying : there are just "too many indian chief…

Dear Anon, All these objects have more to do with commercialisation, than Feng Shui. One should take these items as a decorative item. For example, if one is too free, can make an experiment: 1. Mon, Tue, Wed = let it face the main entrance 2. Thurs = face the living room 3. Friday = face NE 4. Saturday = face SE 5. SUNDAY? Hmm... " How about throwing it away?" Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. The morale of the story? " Para 5 - It is a good idea!"

Dear Anon, I agree that some FS practioners may use wind chimes to attract wealth. However, the Buddhist and Toaist call the dead using bells. 1. It is best to avoid using metal wind chimes at West, North-West and North-East. West and North-West are of the Metal Element and Yin locations. North-East is traditionally the Devil's Gate and one may inadvertently attract imps or playful spirits as they may be attracted to the sound of the wind chime. 2. The above is the traditional reasoning or advice to take note. 3. Most of the time, due to human nature, we do tend to `over-eat' or go to extremes to purchase not one but many wind chimes. Normally, using our sixth sense, it i…

Thanks for the advice! Yes, the staircase will have a landing - 11 steps, 7 steps, 11 steps and lastly 7 steps. That's okay?? So you wouldn't recommend a staircase in that sector huh? That would have been a good spot in our floor plan (we don't know what else to put in that sector because of the negative stars). I guess we'll have to find another sector to put the staircase.

Dear Cecil, Thank you for having taken the time to answer my question. I believe that my kitchen design complies with "Commonsense FS" i.e. stove is not directly next to water or fridge nor infront. There is no window near stove ... no wind or cold air ... etc... I am worried however about the placement of the stove... which school of FS should be correct? should I place it NE/SE so it faces our bad sectors or should it be on E or N wall which are favourable directions for us? Anyway the kitchen has been ordered for NE/SE as it is a special corner unit (Had to have it designed especially!) Really I looked at it also from a decorative point of view so as to make it look ni…

Dear Toni, In your case, there are three sets of principles you can apply:- 1. Interior layout of your caravan should follow some of the suggestions provided under the topic " The Home " e.g. the position of the basin in relation to the stove and the position of the bed/table. 2. If you know your true element and it's strengths (Pillars of Destiny) you can apply it to your van eg. if say you are considered a person with weak water: you could enhance your caravan by having blue, grey (as an example). If your element is Water, and you have some designs or logo, you could have a logo that is wavy to represent the Water element. 3. When parking your caravan at night, follow s…

Thanks for your help! Generally for air-conditioner placement. You should avoid if possible to have the air-con located above the toilet door or directly above your bed. These are two not so good placements. The other aspect is to ensure that air-con does not blow directly into your face when you sleep. This may cause you to wake up the next day and catch cold. If you do have such a placement, then adjust the air con flap to blow down, so that it does not blow at an angle tow…

1. Yeah, hammering 3 nails isas what you had mentioned; not the norm. Or if I can be frank enough "weird". 2. Firstly, from a commonsense approach:needs lots ofstrength and often even hammering nails into wood is hard enough not to say hammering nails into the walls. 3. Symbolically, it may even be a double edgedsword: beforemoving into a new home: itmay even beconsidered inauspicious todriving three nails into one's home.

Thanks for the photograph. However, as I can't really figure out where is your frontage; and as this is only a side view, the curved bay or lagoon does not seem to have a direct impact from where you had taken the photograph -- as it is quite a distance away. Furthermore, the view is a 2D perspective and does not really show a top down and other details, likeyour plot of land vs this landscape.

In my opinion: 1. There is no precedence on your current business model and Feng Shui. 2. For example, Feng Shui is about the earth luck. Thus for example, if you had asked about a business built on brick and mortar. Then Feng Shui may be consulted. 2.1.For example, please see the attached 4 photos. Here, a client mayseek advice on which premises is more favourable for his/her e.g. Internet caf?. 3. But things like Chinese 7th month and waning moon istotally not within the scope of Feng Shui. 4. Under the Chinese"Holy Trinity" of Luck system: 4.1. Earth Luck as mentioned is Feng Shui of the place one works at or one spends time e.g. a home. 4.2. Heaven Luck is cons…

Dear Ber, Please see below:- Usually, it is adviseable to have the stove facing almost directly the entrance door: 1. Especially if the knobs are facing the door. Where possible get a stove with the knobs should facing the `air'/ceiling. 2. The best location for such a kitchen is where it is located at the South compass point. This is because, South represents the Fire element and even with the stove facing the door, enough `heat' is still retained in the house. The worst position is to have the Kitchen at the North where one may `truely' exhaust the heat from the kitchen. 3. The other option is avoid having the main entrance door opened unless necessary. Other than …

Dear Master cecil, Thank you for the reply. My house was built in 1956. The main entrance faces the North. How can I calculate #8 and #5 and #3? I went through the site but could not make it. Thank you C
