Would the bagua area that contains the location of his bathroom affect 1st floor's feng shui ? Thank you Yes, the toilet especially if it is located above will definately affect you. The most common reason is that what happen if the toilet leaks, your room below will be the first one affected by the sewage water dripping down etc. Secondly, the toilet is said to have the most dirty qi within the whole house, so of course having a toilet closeby especially above you. This is similiar to having the toilet lo…

Dear Grace, 1. Chinese Astrology signs:- a. 27 Jan 1971 to 14 Feb 1972 = Year of the Metal Pig. b. 17 Feb 1969 to 5 Feb 1970 = Year of the Earth Rooster. 2. Under the Chinese Astrology, the Pig is more compatible (excellent) match with the animal sign of the RAM (2003). 3. For the Year of the Horse, both the Pig and the Rooster has to be more understanding and tolerant of the Horse sign. 4. In my opinion, under Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny) - the Year and Day of birth are considered important for `compatibility' purposes. Thus, even if say one is thinking of having a child (in a year); it boils down to not only the Year of birth but on which day, the child is also born. Thes…

Hi, would like to ask for help what is the best thing to do with 3 doors facing eachother?

Hello! i came across this forum and the advise given here is really practical and interesting. I’ve been looking all over the internet for this problem which I might potentially encounter- three doors facing each other- and I’ve only come across one post that addresses it. Imagine this: 2 bedroom doors facing each other (master and common bedroom) and in between them is a common bathroom. I’ve attached a picture of something that represents this. And all these rooms lead out to an opening that leads to the living area. I understand that 2 doors, especially of bedrooms, facing each other is bad and may lead to arguments. I read somewhere that 3 doors forming…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Dear Sir, I would like to know whether 3 doors facing each other is a bad fengshui. The first door is a toilet door facing the bedroom door, & inside the bedroom is another toilet with the door facing the bedroom door. Would appreciate your advice. Generally, any door facing another door directly is usually inauspicious. Especially, if the two doors facing each other are close by and are bedrooms. This is because two occupants will not see eye-to-eye so may have quarrels. In this case, this is toilet facing bedroom so at least you won't have quarrels as it is not a bedroom so not really as bad. But still imagine if the toilet door…

Hi Master Lee My house has three doors in a straight line. The first door is the main door and is the biggest door. The 2nd door is the middle door and opening to the open concept kitchen, dinning and living room. The 3rd door is the sliding door and opening to our big backyard. I attached our floor plan below. We have an option to convert the 3rd sliding door to sliding window. Would this do any better in term of energy flowing? Please help. Warmest regards, Channa

My main door, kitchen entrance door and door of utility room are all in a straight line. Please see attached floor plan for a better understanding. Is installing a curtain in the middle or back door alright to rectify the issue ? If yes, any requirements on the types of curtains? Please help me with your professional opinion and advice. Thank you Master. Most appreciated. Raymond

Dear Anon, A statute of a galloping horse is often placed facing the main entrance. Here, this symbolises either: 1. Frequent travels e.g. for work or leisure 2. Horses running out of the home or office to get more business. Under the Chinese zodiac sign, the horse element represents the fire element. Thus it is on the opposite side of the Rat element. Reference: http://www.lovesigns.net In ancient times, a movement of a group of 8 horses running was suppose to represent a famous 10 century Chinese King. Under Flying star Feng Shui, if there is a mountain star #9 and say this is the living room area or an area where it looks nice to display the 3 red horses, this …

In my opinion, as this topic has been covered extensively; And in past messages; I have described the various view points; Please make an effort to use the SEARCH feature on the Top left frame.

Dear Anon, In my opinion, this is not a major issue (as compared to/vs) the Tai Sui or Grand Duke. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cheli, Thank you for bring up this interesting question. Many of us may become quite confused with `differing' concepts or theories. Usually, a concept or problem need to be redressed (without first taking into consideration - personal self). Let me take a parallel:- In Flying Star Feng Shui, if a location has bad #5 (misfortune) and further more the year chart also has this #5 - we need to really redress this problem (no matter if the sector in question is considered "unfavourable" to the individual). Here, there is a real need to neutralise the problem at this sector. If the requirement is to use a metal windchime, then, we need to use it. Using a wooden windchime …

Dear Anon, Please read below:- The problem with Grand Duke and 3 kilings is that, although it has been mentioned and practice by traditional feng shui masters. Their advise has always been not to disturb them. But often there is no "solution" suggested by them. It is just like in our chinese culture, when we say that one offends the "god" there is no way of actually pleasing them. Usually, all that was done was to offer incense to these sectors in hope as an apology. Similarly, many times such theories has been talked about but there has been no effective one solution cure. Thus it is very hard to say if putting a element will work or not as there has been no tradi…

Hi Sifu Its inspiring reading your articles and advise. I have an old 3 legged frog suppose to be blessed which I paid for many many years ago. Iam decluttering my house due to space constraint. May I know how do I dispose the 3 legged frog.

So sorry I believe there are no books on the subject of x3 Roosters that I am aware of! Frankly, in my opinion, it is a coincidence of x3 Roosters and as you have mentioned, should not have an impact on your dad's "scam" issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- 1. Overall, we are only considering the Year of birth sign of the three persons. 2. In general, under the Year of birth, since the three persons, share the same `birth' sign, it is considered that (very generally again) that their characteristics are considered similar for e.g. a dog is faithful and loyal. 3. Like its `Western cousin' the Zodiac sign, it can filter down to the Month of birth, day of birth and time of birth which may be different for each of the three persons. 4. Another `School' of thought is based on balance. One should not have too many of the same element together. This does not mean that it is no good to have all `do…

Dear Anon, 1. From a Feng Shui perspective, it is more important to understand the flow of qi within this house. 2. This is where, a layout plan is important. A layout plan can help us to `visualise' the flow of qi within the home. Instead of relying totally on the idea of three windows in a straight. 3. Questions asked (or posed) are: 3.1 Are the windows spaced quite far from each other. Usually, the distance between all three windows in a straight line can be quite far. And in theory, it may seem that qi can flow straight in and out. But, in reality qi often meander and perhaps only a small percent is `leak' out if any. 3.2 It is good to look at the furniture in each …

Dear Anon, Yes, based on your description, your house is a S2 or S3 house has double 8's at the frontage under Period 8. You can indeed take the opportunity to fly to Period 8 for your home to take advantage of the very auspicious double 8's. For the centre, since there is a combination of #4 with #3, yes, you can brighten this staircase landing. In my opinion, the easiest and most cost effective are to replace approximately 6 to 8 roof tiles above this stairwell with the transparent / translucent plastic type of roof tile. If you do this, the only caution, is to avoid placing any single mid-sized plant at the lift landing, to avoid forming the inauspicous word "Kun" at t…

Further to what I had mentioned earlier: 1. In fact, you have brought up another good example of spotting the " fake " Feng Shui. 2. Calling it " fake " is extreme. However, the more accurate word is: TOO GENERAL to be of use to most of us. 3. In many of the old forum messages: I have given examples of why Eight Aspirations or Life Aspirations or Life Association concepts are TOO GENERAL to be of use to anyone. 4. For example, the most common words are: South-West is my romance sector. North is my career sector. 5. Do search for these terms and read thru some of the messages on these concepts. 6. What is more important to each of us is to try and use concepts that can wor…

My use of the term interchange is like I remove e.g. the side lamp from a bmw 3 E90 and it can be interchanged with their bmw 5 E60 upto 2010 models. Thus the word interchange simply means can be used in both North and South hemisphere. And interchange should not be confused with reverse. Nothing is said about being reversed. Interchange is kinda considered as swop this for that. Unless, the term REVERSED is used then this is another different story. From your two quick postings, please try to spent abit more time, before being so quick on the draw. Fact talks not fiction. If my memory serves me right; around 1998 or thereabouts; a certain Australian geomancer linked or …

Dear Gwen, 1. It is interesting to look at this concept first: " Accumulation of wealth ". 2. The key essence or key success factor; regarded by many Feng Shui Masters is to look at a piece of land i.e. be it as large as a city e.g. Canton and determine to see if the piece of land can be considered as `good' i.e. help to accumulate wealth for the residents or those within the `city'. 3. In Hong Kong, many millionaires or multi millionaires; consult a Feng Shui master to look at the site / plot of land on which they want to built their home. The key idea here is that the site can aid in the `accumulation of wealth'. 4. The Dragon Qi (Chi) For a city, it should be observed …

Dear Fely, 1. Several years back, I had elaborated on the 4 celestial creatures or simply the "Four Symbolic Animals". 2. In fact, there are several perspective at looking into the Concept of the Four Celestial Creatures or the Four Symbolic Animals. I shall use the short form as FSA (stands for Four Symbolic Animals.) 3. The First Perspective is of a "SYMBOLIC" nature. This is why; it is known as the Four Symbolic Animals. 4. In many societies; the saying goes: "A picture tells a thousand words". 5. What better way to understand a concept is via symbolism or a picture of: 5.1 The FRONTAGE Where possible, we should imagine that the frontage should have clear space. Much l…

:These are some of the considerations:- 1. What you mentioned, below comes under another concept. 2. Even under "that concept" mentioned above; rarely anyone follows it - unless one is truly a fanatic of such things. (That concept speaks aabout "being cautious" when travelling ..eg. south.. but in no where does it say you MUST not travel e.g. south) 3. Under the 4 Good and Bad directions; only those who have "screws" loose or the lunatic kind may put the 4 Good and Bad + directions together and come up with such a (looney tunes) idea of LINKING the two together. This is no brain-storm. But rather this is instead a NO-brainer idea. 4. Drawing a parallel to such things; say…
