Dear Anon, Frankly, as you have mentioned, your dorm room is squarish. Many leaders (in the industry) started like yourself staying in a dorm. More importantly, mentally, one would have an idea of how, one's "work" flow is like. Asyour dorm serves both as a place of sleep and "study", try to work out the best layout based on your personal feel, liking and "habits". Since you are doing work on a laptop, some of us may feel comfortable working from our bed, while others may work better sitting on a proper table and chair. You have to see your habit and try to maximize your layout to the way you study and sleep. Some of us work better facing a window, while others may f…

Hello master, I'm from Eastern Europe, I am a feng shui enthusiast and amateur and I have studied the art of feng shui for 8-9 years now. I came to understand a lot of things about feng shui, but not all of them, and I can't say that I know everything regarded to it and still trying to understand some aspects, that's why I wanted to ask for help from someone that knows this better, and verify if what I am doing is correct. I’m practicing feng shui only for my family. I don’t do it and don’t talk about it with other people, because our culture is based on christianity and some look at feng shui with doubt, fear or skepticism. I was ra…

Dear Angela, Angela Le wrote: 20-Year Reigning Period: 8 (2004-2023) Does this mean the information provided to me applies only to a house built between 2004 -2023? In the house hunting report, this period refers to houses built within 2004-2023. This is because the flying star influence is calculated based on the 2004-2023 so the best houses in period 8 will be different if it is built earlier in period 7. Thus, when you do a house hunting report, you normally prepare a period 7 and period 8. For houses built in period 7, you look at the best direction recommended in period 7 report, while if the houses are built in period 8 look at the best direction recommende din p…

Dear Ber I really sympathise with you on this. It has more to do with e.g. personalities, experiences and even the person's upbringing i.e. human aspects than Feng Shui. I really wish I can help you but it is not within the true aspects of Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Stan, 1. It is difficult to give a general comment as to whether firstly: 1.1. A perceived threat is truly a threat 1.2 Even if it is a threat: often such a threat cannot be neutralised unless that specific threat e.g. is torn down. In all my messages, I often do not want to give false hope. It is akin to giving the party a sugar coated pill. It may perhaps sounds good but often in-effective. Especially for things like `penetrating' and other types of sha qi. 1.3 Frankly, it is therefore, very difficult here to pose a few lines of questions and a standard `stereo' type answer appears. 2. Overall, such specific case demands a full audit to access the situation both …

Dear Anon, 1. For any new house purchase, it is always good to bring all family members to view the site to get an overall feeling of the place. 2. Under Flying star Feng Shui, currently NE facing homes have a better Feng Shui advantage as it is generally considered a better facing direction than some other facing directions. 3. For the Eight House theory, it is always favourable if the apartment fits the breadwinner. It is quite common both either spouse to be "opposites" east or west group. Although this is a consideration, other factors such as the Shapes and Forms and the Compass School - Flying star should also be considered. 4. As to whether to commit to purchas…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi,I am getting confused now with some of the feng shui tips. I have my front door facing east.But my part of my stairs (half of it) is facing the front door.By the way the stairs is by the wall.And it has 14 steps up to the landing.I cannot do anything to fix the stairs.What feng shui tips can I apply? If the concern, is the main door facing the stairs, then the best way is to have a screen or partition to block the path of the main door and stairs. This is provided you have some space to have this partition which is the best solution for this problem. Anonymous wrote: I also have an …

Dear Chetan, Thanks for your clarifications. It is good for you to read up on Shapes and Form School Feng Shui. It relates to the positioning of the bed. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/bedroom.htm I believe you should spent sometime going thru the materials on Shapes and Form in the above webpages or get a book on Shapes and Form. This is because, it is more important to take into consideration Shapes and Form and give second priority or be concerned whether your bed should be at north west or south east. Other topics on the website includes the kitchen etc... It is also good for you to look at some of the examples of the eight house at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house…

Dear Master Cecil Thanks very much your prompt reply. However, I think I did not make myself clear. My wealth element is wood hence I am a Strong Metal and not wood person as you mentioned in your reply. Can a Strong Metal person take up a Wood career since Wood is my wealth element?

Dear Doris, There are several dimensions of Feng Shui or degrees of "understanding" what is good or bad Feng Shui. For example: 1. Enhancing Qi Some Feng Shui actions or activities are to enhance qi or to boost qi in a home. For example such as activating #8 under Flying Star Feng Shui. Where especially #8 has to do with the current water wealth location. 2. Neutralising Sha Qi or Poison arrows There are also imbalances caused e.g. by a pointed roof aimed towards our home e.g. a lone street lamp slicing into our main entrance etc... 3. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui Fortunately, from what I can gather, yours has to do with a toilet above the main entrance door…

Dear Anon, 1. The best way to understand web sites that promote: e.g. Helpful/travel, fame and reputation is to check out their PRODUCTS page. 2. In my opinion, in many or most situations, you will invariably see some or even many types of goods (at very high mark-up price) with the aim of making profits out of everyone. 3. This is especially in the USA: If we ever want to consult a FS practitioner in your area; ask this question:- "Is your FS fees fixed?" This is because, the FS fees may be stated at US$150, but when the FS practitioner comes, he/she may cart along a full suitcase of "valuable" FS items. At the end of the session, your total audit bill may come to as muc…

Thank you SO much Master Lee. This has been a very confusing area for me during the 3 years I have studied tradtional Chinese feng shui. No one, until you, has explained the process of choosing a remedy (first Productive then Destructive). It is such a simple and basic point, yet if a student is not aware of it, it becomes quite a large issue. Once again THANK YOU!! Best Wishes, Oliv Sullivan

1. It is good that you have observed that your daughter has "better" left brain skills (logical, mathematical...) than right brain (intuitive, subjective, spatial) skills. 2. In theory, better careers based purely on Ba zi for a weak wood person are careers in the water industry and wood industry. 3. Accountancy belongs to or is considered as a "metal" element career. Thus strickly based on ba zi to define a career, a weak wood person should be "surrounded" by water. As water supports wood. Only then can "metal" destroy (weak wood + water). 4. In my opinion, as parents, it is good to know but, I believe, you will also leave it to your daughter to pursue anything under …

Thank You Master Lee for your prompt reply. The B# is 4. So its mountain #8, water #6 and base #4 at my main entrance (not the facing). It is a HDB flat. Entrance door also facing a wall (the kitchen wall). Must I activate the mountain #8 at the entrance? If yes, what should I place? Thank You Emily free-advice Listmanager wrote: From: Cecil Lee Dear Emily, Given that the mountain star is #8, water is not a good idea here, since firstly water at an auspicious MS#8 can drown or "drop the mountain into a hole(water)" thus making it inauspicious. If you have a landed property or if your is a landed property, then landscaping with rock garden would be favourable to furth…

Dear Katrina Blue, katrina blue wrote: i'm just a beginner in this but it seems that having toilet next to the entrance and bathroom in the centre of apartment (bathtub exactly in the centre) is very bad? i cant make any major changes, but can you advice some help? please, because it seems this days my life is in chaos... Unfortunately, those are two inauspicious influence to have in the house. 1. Toilet close to main door isn't auspicious as the Qi is like dirtied by the toilet Qi. 2. Toilet close to center influence of the house is like a leak of weath where all the influence meet. Unfortunately, since you cannot make major changes to move the toilet location, then …

Yes, in my opinion it is acceptable to do so. If too small is considered only a play thing.

1. The critical concern for a stove at the back of the home is to visual whether any "expected" high-pressure low-pressure situations occur usually before heavy rains start. 2. This is particuarly true for terrace homes where the openings are at the front of the home and the backyard side. 3. Thus the question asked is "how will changing air-pressures" have on the stove ie. extinguish the flame and let gas continue to flow dangeriously on or let the flame "shoot" out dangerously from the side or towards the front towards the operatior. 4. When all these considerations are looked at; we try also to see whether the stove can match the ba zi of the female breadwinner of…

Dear Shawn, Shawn lim wrote: The lucky/unfavourable colours are mentioned in mostly primary colours - red, yellow, blue etc. Yes, this is because these colours are the key colours that make up the other secondary colours. Shawn lim wrote: Orange, pink (fire/earth), purple/plums, copper (reddish) and grey.I am a bit confused about the colourbrown. Some say it is earth colour while others say its wood. which is it? Frankly, for secondary colour, it is harder to define due to the fact that if the colour is lighter/darker the element can be different. Orange for example, if light orange more ie more towards like gold colour, it is made up of more Yellow (earth) than Red…

Dear Jojo, Under the Shapes and Form School, this is inherent with the unit i.e. you cannot do much here other than to balance the `yin' aspect to make the location more bright `yang' due to the lower level housing. Other than the above, more investigations can be done using the Flying Star to analyse the birth chart of the house. This is not compulsory. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: We're are in the process of looking for another house. If we want to look for a house facing South, is it necessary to look for new houses i.e. build in the new period after 2004 or can we just buy a second hand house that's build in period 7 but facing south? Is there any difference buying a period 7 house and period 8 house? I feel that as long as we get a suitable house facing south, that would suffice. Would appreciate your early reply. Ideally, since we are already in a period 8 influence. It will make more sense to purchase a house that is built in period 8. This will avoid the need to worry about whether or not you need to fly a period…

Dear Nat, 1. Usually, the most effective method (especially) if there are no windows at this sector is the use of a full length mirror at this sector. 2. Only if the above resources are exhausted, should you then consider painting e.g. using a more yang colour. Between red or purple, I would choose purple as red can be too `bright' for the home. But if given the choice between pink or purple, I would instead choose pink colour. 3. You should check what is the significance of the missing corner. For example using the reference under this link: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/building.htm 4. If the missing corner (defined as greater than 33.3 percent of that sector) has a major …

ha ha. Got it. Thanks Cecil

Dear Anon, Feng Shui in many instances can "boost" the luck for conception. Frankly, it depends greatly on location, location, location. Many who had seen success are those where many good Flying star numbers under the "mountain" star can be activated. For any home, HDB or landed property, proper accessment can be made to determine and activate Flying star numbers: 1. #8- current prosperity star: Mountain Star #8 and or Water Star #8 2. #9 - future prosperity star (This star (if possible) should be activated for middle aged couples trying to conceive. 3. #1 - future prosperity star. Usually effective if the Mountain star #1 is activated. Thus, one do not need to …
