Dear Jim, There are two ways at looking at having a fish tank: 1. For enjoyment. 2. `Reading' from somewhere and buying a fish tank and hoping for something auspicious to happen. Jokingly, I remembered seeing the title of a book " What they don't teach you in Harvard Here it is the same thing with fish tank. " You may end up with more than one can bargain for with fish tanks ". Is it better off not knowing FS? Usually, when one purchase a fish tank, we normally would have visualised a location in our home to place the fish tank. In most instances, it is usually at one side of the wall and not the centre of the house. In fact, intution plays an important part especial…

Dear Anon, In Feng Shui practise, there always some who pay more attention to `detail' while others feel that this is secondary or not as important. For example, some FS practioners would require their clients buy a `unique' bamboo flute which they had `especially' designed e.g. a Dragon and Phoenix Flute and insist that their clients use these. (i.e. the Dragon on the East side or left and the Phoenix is on the right). I believe, one salient point is to make a personal opinion for ourselves whether is the practioner trying to sell commercial products or to our belief, the practioner is doing it for our own good. It is equally debatable whether one must have say a particu…

If 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are yang numbers, and 2, 4, 6, 8 are yin numbers, why 6 =is attributed to Qian (which is yang), 7 to Dui (which is yin), 8 to Gen =(which is yang), and 9 to Li (which is yin). It seems that number 5, =which do not belongs to any gua was interfered and disarranged the yin =yang sequence. Is there any explanation for that? Wansui!

I just realized that every house has both good and bad directions. I will say that my 'spook' direction, which is for me in my sw direction, has sent me to the hospital 3 times! I won't spend anytime in that room! Ever. My goal is to move some day. But not possible now. So, there must be a way to shift the energy in a room when it is in the BAD direction, and the bed can't be placed in a good direction without making a very strange design choice. My closets and doorway are in my best direction...SE. v>I think maybe I should go with what you told someone else... don't worry about it? Thing is, it has been a struggle for me ever since I moved in, mostly to establish wha…

Dear Robert, Thank you for your advice. It gives me great comfort to know that it will not affect those not staying there. But felt sad too as we have to sell off the house

Dear Joe, In general, we should consider Yin Feng Shui as having a different "ruleset". What I mean is that all (or most) books that you purchase are usually based on Yang Feng Shui. Yin rulesets are quite different from Yang Feng Shui. For example, the Feng Shui ruler has a measurement for the living (Yang FS) and a different set of measurement for the dead (Yin FS). In Yin FS, a FS practioner will usually do a FS assessment of the gravesite. For example, he/she will use a Chinese Luopan. Place it in the middle and even use a long string to get the correct measurements to check the alignment on the Chinese Luopan to ensure that he/she get the right ausicious direction fo…

Hi, Each year, the 7th month under the Lunar Calendar is called the 7th month: 1. This is also called the Hungry Ghost. 2. For this year, it is around 11 August and 9 September. If you have a Calendar with the Lunar dates, you can check out when the 7th month starts and ends. 3. To the Chinese, this is a very inauspcious period especially for: a. Any outdoor activities and includes no renovations. 4. What is the 7th month? In brief, this is based on Chinese `Superstition' or to be more exact, a Chinese Belief. It signifies that ghosts are let out to the world during this period they are allowed to roam around. 5. Many `celebrate' the occasion by giving offerings e.g. buyi…

Dear Anon, 1. Often, it is preferred not to have a mirror facing an open window or at the side of an open window - (based on "commonsense" approach to Feng Shui. 2. The main reason is "reflected light". Often, an external light source may inadvertenly shine into the home and is `captured' by say the mirror. If the light intensity is high, it may reflect `glare'. If we are `unfortunate' enough, we may be sitting down with the direct glare into our eyes and it feels so, uncomfortable. 3. Especially so, if there are shiny objects such as the profile of a vehicle. Light from it's body panel or windows may provide such a `glare'. 4. If you are confident that either reflected l…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: thanks for your reply, is it okay to place a water feature at nortwest palace to enchance water star 9. while placing remedies or enchancers inside the palace should one apply small tai chi or one can place within the boundaries of the palace or one can place within a palace 15 degree of mountain location. Usually, for cures, you should try to go for colour scheme balancing which is the most effective to cover the entire sector of the room. Then there will be no issue in applying or placing the water feature. In general, you want to apply or place the cure as close to the 15 degree sector of the direction to be most effective.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: My kitchen is located at M4-6-W3. Which is the best sector within the kitchen to locate the stove - East, North or South? In the selected sector, please advise where the knobs of the stove should be. Thanks. I can only give you some of these general guidelines as which is the best placement depends on the layout of the kitchen as well as the various people livingin the house (especially the person cooking for the family). 1. It is best to face the kitchen stove in the position that the person cooking most in the family will benefit from. This means that the direction should be best facing one of the 4 good directions of that person. If you a…

Dear Anon, It me elaborate that the reason some book authors or Feng Shui practioners advise not to place plants or flowers (especially real flowers) that these are considered Yang especially growing plants. Bedrooms normally should be more Yin location. Based on the little information provided, you can either: As for whether it is bad for marriage, in my opinion, this is a question mark. What I mean here is that we have not much information to go on. Usually, for an accurate picture, it should be looked into after considering both partners element and the strength plus what is the Flying Star at the location. This should provide a deeper analysis. All I can say for now i…

Hi Cecil, I am very grateful for your reply. It is difficult to find such great person to offer thisto stranger these days. I have checked and indeed I belong to weak yang wood. Is "metal" industry suitable for me? The reason for asking is though the offered company is in plastic injection business, they are also involved in tool making. At the same time, they are also looking into doing metal stamping business. If an offer is very attractive but belonging to the "unfavorable" career, what should one do to avoid the "clash"? Thank you sincerely.

These are the considerations:- 1. Any of the breadwinner(s) doing your own business? If yes, be careful, this is certainly one down... so there should not be more wealth leaks in the home. 2. If any of the breadwinners are salaried worker(s) - not so bad. Generally, still "manageable" or acceptable. 3. From a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui point of view, so long as a car can (may or maynot) slam into the home from the junction; it is a considered a leak. From one of the pictures.. from outside looking inwards.. it does seem so. Therefore, in Feng Shui, this is one equivalent of a home affected by T junction. 4. From the inside, it looks more comforting as the garden seems…

Dear Anon, It is not a `conclusive' fact that paintings can neutralise bad sectors. In well published Feng Shui cures, the most common neutralizing agents range from: 1. If you cannot see it it no longer becomes a sha. 2. Use of lighting, water positions and plants. 3. Use of 6 coins to defeat say the bad #2 and #5 For paintings, it is mostly used to enhance the interior. Caligraphy of meaningful words are commonly used. One can say that as there are many practioners with their view points, or agenda, there are those who pay emphasis on paintings while others do not really feel that they are of the utmost importance. In my personal opinion, painting is secondary. What is …

Usually, when we mention + shape, we generally consider it as a building rather than as a single apartment. Usually as a building, each unit is at the end of the `corridor'. The centre-point is usually where the lifts and staircase are. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear All, 1. Please note that this is not Feng Shui. 2. However, this is one of favourite movies that has a good story, casts and significance/meaning to life. An inspirational show that includes Steven Segal (but briefly) 3. I searched yahoo.com and came up with a site that has a review of the show "Executive decision " by Warner Bros. There is a review at this site of this movie (DVD version):- http://www.all-reviews.com/videos-2/executive-decision.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil

dear Anon, 1. Yes, I strongly believe that good authors often state facts. 2. Even if our homes is miles away from the sea; we are literally affected by daily high/low pressures. 3. Even the idea of full moon i.e. our moon is many thousands of mile high; yet, there were documented cases of people's mood affected by the magnetic force of the moon. We can literally see high/low tides based on the moon's gravitational pull. 4. Even the Grand Duke theory is based on the planet Jupiter .. which is said to be the biggest planet and thus have a `magnetic' influence on our planet earth. 5. Thus, one must never, never discount: Macro Feng Shui. 6. Yet, time and time again, we…

However, i have trouble to determine the house as attached below. Should the facing based on the main entrance or where the river and public road locate. Appreciate much your kind advice. Thank you.
