General Help

Dear Oliv Sullivan, Oliv Sullivan wrote: Thank you so much for supplying a monthly Flying Star chart. It really helps! I have noticed that the monthly number for each direction is not different for September than it was for August. Why is that? The monthly flying star is based on the Chinese Calendar month. So until start of the new chinese month, the analysis will still show the existing Chinese 7th month. The Chinese 8th month does not start until last day of the Chinese 7th month is over. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Jen, A home is similar to an artist's canvas painting. It has a shape and form. And it is best to look at a home in it's entirety. Not just whether, there is clear-space "exactly at the centrepoint" or close-by. Equally important are the `air-flow' entry and exit points of a home e.g. the windows, doors etc... And all these should be seen in an entire picture i.e. the production of a layout plan. In my opinion, what you mentioned is like examining just the right side of a vehicle's car. Thus an incomplete picture. I hope you understand: With the incomplete picture given, I have to give you an incomplete answer: Dunno. In the future, if one is describing a person, ple…

Dear Michelle, 1. It is very common for the type of development you had mentioned not to have a costly basement. In fact, majority of such apartments both in Telok Kurau and many locations in Singapore. 2. The major concern with having a car park right below any apartment unit are: 2.1 Although a fire breaking out i.e. a car on fire is rare, but should a car or van burst into flames, the logic is that fire rises upwards. 2.2 Some Feng Shui practitioners don't like homes that are not "grounded" on the ground.. Such homes are considered as sitting on "stilts" or not on firm ground. Thus for example, homes above a shopping complex or above a carpark to these Feng Shui pr…

Dear Nathalie, In Feng Shui, there are two concepts:- 1. study facing a good direction. You can use the free Feng Shui report to look at it. However, caution is that it is always better to have the study table position based Good Shapes and Forms than (para 1 i.e. nice to have). For example, if the best direction is to place the study table next to the bedroom door; this may be distracting to your eldest son even if the direction is good! 2. Another traditional idea is that if it window of the bedroom open out and to the right (a distance away); there is a tall e.g. tower, this signifies, scholaristic achievement. Many FS practitioners encourage the placement of a small f…

Dear Cindy, Frankly, if both of you continue to have frequent quarrels, perhaps you could consider a Feng Shui audit. This is because most likely there could be some leak(s) in your home.

My house is a duplex. Can place a fridge at level 2 foyer? there will be bedroom door facing it, so what is the general rule of placing a fridge at level 2 foyer?

Hi master, which direction should the fridge door opening face in terms of Feng shui? Eg. If open right side, it’s opening will face the service yard door. Will it cause list of wealth? If open on the left side, it’s opening will face the inwards of the house kitchen/stove.

Generally, I know it is not good for the fridge to face the bathroom door but what if the distance between the openings are 7 feet apart?

Dear Ron, I hope I get what you had written correctly. Do you mean that when the main door is fully opened, it measures 168 degrees - the maximum opening? Frankly, there is often not an issue, with the amount of door opening so long as it can open at-least up to 80 or 90 degrees. Is your door facing an opening e.g. facing a balcony directly. Without a sketch, it is difficult to understand the interior layout. But for placing a fridge in the living room - perhaps, you should be entitled to an explanation from your practitioner since, this is something new indeed. And, other than it is tall and often (huge) in comparison to other objects, perhaps? Your practitioner wants…

Dear Carlos, 1. For an irregular shaped house, it is best to visualise, the flux of qi moving within the home. 2. Often, such a home (distorts) qi i.e. not smooth flowing or there are `substantial leaks' causing imbalances. 3. To find the centrepoint, one `crude' method is to place a copy of the layout on a cardboard. And `cut' out the profile of the house. Try to balance it with a pin or nail. (this is the centre of gravity). 4. Alternatively, try to `break' the profile of the home into two rectangles each with it's centrepoint. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Frankly, this is the first time, such a simple question has turned into more than 12 threads! Use your common sense, for below:- Quote: Sorry, can I ask she came to my house why shld she do the flower bathe instead of me? If she is a Christian, then don't follow the procedures. So simple! Chirstians always belief in GOD not in anything else! Please use your commonsense, please and this will be my last message on this subject! Goodness, me! MY GOD!

Hi Cecil, Please find attached the picture for your advise.

Frankly, under the Chinese "system", there is really no precedence on your situation. But feel free to have a "good" feeling about it

Dear Reyla, Oh so sorry, what I meant was that the repainting should be done at one-go. This is symbolic of removing the roof of a home at one-go. Therefore, choose a date to start this process. For example, one can seek temporary shelter e.g. move-in with a relative or stay at a hotel for a few days or week; depending on the work required and contract with the painter; one need not worry how long it takes, here. Painting should take a reasonable time (more for your convenience). It does not mean here, that one must paint the ceiling a few times! But rather at one-go after 2004 lunar new year. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui:- 1.1. In congested urban Singapore, it is acceptable to have wide open spaces (where our apartment) is facing. 1.2 Overseas, especially in vast - sparsely vast land, it is often said that such vast open spaces is disadvantages as this part of the land is exposed to the elements and wind. And in China, the concern e.g. in Beijing is the north - dust flying and many homes prefer to have their main entrance facing south. 1.3 Thus under Para 1.2, above, the definition of inauspicious "open spaces" is that e.g. the cold winds or unblocked areas that are exposed to such strong winds, dusts is not good. 1.4 In land scarce Singapore, open sp…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Thank you for your time. I am selling a home in California, the front door does not face the street, this seems like a benefit is that correct? If so how can I use this to my advantage in marketing my property? Frankly, as long as there is no road cutting towards the house or curving into the house then there is no sha qi towards the house. Therefore, there should not be any major sha qi from that point. But this is a very common feng shui benefit. Therefore, if you do want to use feng shui in your marketing of your property, you should be wanting to list it's major or uniquefeng shui benefit rather than to list all the minor benefit. Hope …

Thank you very much. That is what made the most sense to me.

Dear Yang Ming, So long as there is no direct path of `air' from the main entrance to the back, then this is not an issue. Yes a set of beads can be hung at the kitchen entrance. Usually, it should be full height or at least cover three-quarters of the length of the location it is placed at. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yang Ming, Yes, a Japanese entrance curtain can help to reduce the direct path of `air'. You can consider this as an alternative. But, there will still be a percentage of `air'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rochiel, The idea of utilizing beneificial Qi is to ensure that it comes into the house and meanders (slowly) before exiting out of the house. Here, the chief concern is to prevent Qi from coming into the door and exit directly out of any area (window/door). I believe, you case is common. This is where, you can close the side of the sliding door that is in direct view of your entrance door. And open the other side of the sliding door. This (I believe) would help solve your problem. Warmest Regards, Cecil
