General Help

Thank you Master Cecil. Based on 1976 analysis - NE locationis good. Based on 1978 analysis - NE location is death. I stayed in the NE for 5 yrs andfaced many deaths & illness. So 1976 analysis was not right. I am now shifting to the North (and 1978 is good, while 1976 is bad). So I am very confused. * 1976 - actual birth, 1978 - recorded birth We are a bit tight with money. And the contra and sale of our flat will give us some profit. If we hire yr services, do we have to pay immediately for the report. Or we can pay you after we get the profit fr the sale. We would like foryou check the fengshui of our new flat, but can only pay you after the profits from the s…

Dear Anon, This is based on very general theory. I would rather classify this as textbook cures where Book authors will ask explain the location eg. South = Fire and let you do whatever necessary to enhance the location based on a fixed element. I believe all your four questions, what has been done is to simply super-impose the Four Symbolic animals `exactly' into the home environment. This is really not the correct way to apply Feng Shui based on the Five elements. For example, the South is already considered warm. Introducing a warm object e.g. a Phoenix would add more `Fire' into the location. If there is already `petty' quarrels within the sector, introducing or addin…

[HDB stands for Housing and Development Board or Government Development Housing for the masses in Singapore. I believe, 90 percent of Singaporeans stay in these flats]. Dear Anon, 1. Even under Feng Shui, there are priorities and importance. Threats of serious importance are e.g. sharp corner of another building aimed at the house. 2. Secondly, usually, if I am not mistaken: 2.1 These service yards, are not aimed against the door of another apartment. Perhaps, the window of another block's service yard. 2.2 In my opinion, these are `weak' threats or no threats at all. Frankly, I have yet to come across or seen a `neighours bamboo poles aimed at another's main door. Mayb…

Thanks a lot! Respected SirI have read several bad feng shui with regards to the Main door aligning with the stair and the toilet facing the kitchen, but my questions is most likely the same and here they are1. The Main door is not aligning with the stairs but is facing the side staircase that is going up to the 2nd level, Is this a bad fueng shui? (pls see attachment)2. The toilet door beside the guess room is facing the dinning area, is this a bad feung shui? (pls see attachment)Eager for your ReplySincerly,Ray

Dear Anon, There is certainly truth in this practise. Thanks for pointing it out to everyone. The brass knob is akin to a convex surface which reflects out. In the past, before glass mirrors came out, brass `mirrors' were in use. This is another method of `deflecting' sha qi thou a `mild' form. What I mean by `mild' form is that it is considered a defensive method rather than offensive method. One can classify it as under the same category as the semi-circular carpet. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Can I check with you whether are the 2 rectangular chimneys (tangent) or if you stand at the window, and looking out directly, (without looking sideways) can you see the two rectangular chimneys? Usually, if you are in doubt, one can use the curtains (but if it is too dark) then use window blinds. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Mmm... wonder why the picture file didn't show up here. Anyway, please view the file at www.geocities.com/internetcool2001/map.jpg Thanks!

Dear Anon, Before I reply to your question, I like to highlight that the Ba Gua mirror is used for two main purposes: 1. Some use it to ward off evil. 2. Some use it to deflect/absorb Sha Qi or poision arrow. After `understanding' above, you can than know why some FS practioners would prefer the Ba Gua mirror to be `blessed'. Usually, those who ask their clients ot place a Ba Gua mirror to "ward off evil". Why do some FS practioners ask thier clients to place a Ba Gua mirror to ward off evil? There are two main reasons: 1. Majority of these practioners have a religion e.g. Taoism and believe that all homes must have a Ba Gua mirror above their doors to `ward off evil'. T…

Dear Anon, Under `modern' living with `compact homes' is considered acceptable to see the dining room when walking in. I understand your concern as some FS practioners believe that this is not `auspicious'. We have to face reality and many apartments do have such a configuration. In Singapore, in some of the older estates, this is usually not the case as the dinning room is further inside the house or next to the kitchen. Many new Housing Board Mansionnettes and private condominum buildings usually have such a configuration. Here we have to understand that more importantly there are higher priorities such as `worse' things like a toilet next to the main entrance, a toile…

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, this has more to do with `beliefs' than Feng Shui. 2. However, if we look at some Chinese `beliefs', the Chinese favour `pairs' rather than a single object. 3. I am not sure how magical a Dragon Horse figurine or statue can be, but as you have mentioned, may use one or from the opinion of others two `Dragon Horse' may not necessary make any difference in our wealth. Well no harm to place 1 or a pair (2). Warmest Regards Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, washing machines should be considered as a water position. 1.1. Especially front loading washing machines that has a circular glass pothole. 1.2. Thus it is less than ideal for this glass pothole to face the stove. 2. In addition, water pipe is used to draw in water into it at the back and the output of dirty water is also produced. 3. A microwave is (contrary) to popular belief - belongs to the metal element. Since, it's energy is concentrated inwards. Fire is not used to conduct this energy but instead microwave (metal) element is used to disturb the molecules to cook them. Warmest Regards, Cecil

In my opinion, although you are taking one step in the right direction, but there are still over 100 steps to go!

House is in very good condition, just appraised for 160,000. I am weak water and try to enhance and make stronger, could I have inadvertely added to much water? Things in this house relating to water can be fixed by a professional and not long after they break again, just wondering what underlying situation is causing all this. thanks so much, I know my questions can sometimes seem silly, I appreciate your advice.

1. Yes, it is simply common sense that you should use your ACTUAL birth date. 1.1. In fact, in many countries, and in rural areas, often a birth gets reported several days later or even weeks later. 1.2. In Singapore, there are lots of cases where, a birth was reported many days and weeks later. Thus, it is always prudent to use one's actual birth date. This refers to the 2nd part of your question: Master Bedroom: Which side must I sleep on

Dear Anon, Yes, this is one of the concepts of Shapes and Form School in relation to the interior of the house. The best principle to apply is to see if you can cover the bookself e.g. such as cloth or a cabinet with doors. Here, the concept is: `If you no longer see them, they are no longer a `threat' '. Alternatively, try to see if the bookselves can be shifted so that they do not face you or your body. It also depends on how long you spent `facing' the books. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. In a previous message; you mentioned that you are so into Flying Star Feng Shui; 2. If you are so into this Flying Star "stuff" then you could draw a Flying Star Chart of the home:- 2.1 Interpret the 20 Year Flying Star combinations: paying attention to numbers like #3 and #5. 2.2 Check the 81 combinations of the mountain star with water star interpretation. For example, see a small extract showing the interaction of Mountain Star #4 with Water Star #3. 3. Even if one wants to "eat and sleep" with Flying Star should be well versed in all aspects of the Flying Star Feng Shui". 4. The saying goes " a little knowledge is like no knowlege.. and often .. a dangero…

Dear All, 1. Further to what I had mentioned, please do a SEARCH under this forum for " cul de sac ". 2. Please go thru the correspondence on cul de sac under this topic:- Conference Name: Free Advice Forum A series of correspondence under this heading:- House curve to a cul de sac Several correspondence between 5/14/2002 to 5/22/2002. In the above correspondence, I had attached some illustrative sketches on cul de sac and possible `cures'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Thank you for your reply. Regarding drawing the sectors, our unit is an elongated rectangle, so there is a difference if I draw wedges or 9 rectangles. For instance, according to the 9 rectangles all of my son's room is in the south, whereas by the wedges radiating from the center at least half of it is in the southwest. My question about the computer was, how to decide in which sector to put it and which direction it should face, if the different users have different good or bad sectors or directions? Should I make it best for the person who spends the most hours at it? Or for the person who is in charge of technical maintenance and knows the most about it? Thank you Mir…

Recently I was in a store that sells decorative items, and I saw some items using copies of the "ancient Chinese coins" with the square hole in the middle. However, these coins were of various sizes, some very large and some very small, and arranged in different ways not similar to what you have shown in this site. I was thinking of buying one of these items and taking it apart to use the coins from it in the proper arrangement. Is it important what size these coins are? Is there a minimum size or a standard size? How can I tell if the coins I saw are ok to use for this purpose? Miriam

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Is it ok to place the altar(Guan Yin)facing west? I believe it is not generally bad to place facing a certain direction. In fact it depends more on what the altar is actually facing, or what is behind the altar etc. Like for example, it is bad to place any altar where the toilet is directly behind it. These type of rulesets are more important to follow, than compared to a fix ruleset that altar can never face west. Anonymous wrote: is it true that the suspended type of altar is not so good? Of course the most ideal is to place on a table where there is like support and often most altar table size is often of a standard size that is of an au…
