These are some of the considerations:- 1. Time Dimensions and Flying Star #numbers 1.1. Current significance of star numbers: 1.1. Under the Flying Star Feng Shui, there are a total of 9 numbers or 9 grids or (9 star ki). 1.2. We are now under Period 8: 2004 to 2023. 1.2.1 According to the Flying Star Period; the reigning number is suppose to be very auspicious. 1.2.2 The major stars under the 20 Year Flying stars are the #Water and #Mountain stars. While many geomancers treat the base star (or palace) star as of lesser significane. 1.3. Therefore since we are under Period 8: 2004 to 2023:- 1.3.1. #8 = Current Prosperity = Very auspicious often considered as current luck …

These are some considerations:- 1. In general, often; the consensus of many geomancers is that id there is a DOUBLE #8's in say Period 8; one should not consider MS8 as standalone. 1.1. Many geomancers would often offer or recommend a "water position" for say a Double #8 sector in Period 8; a Double #9 sector in Period 9 etc... 1.2. Thus when the Double #8's meet; one should not think or pull out the roots of one's hair as to : if I use "water" to activate the Water star #8; what about the mountain stair #8 then? 1.3. A well balanced water position consists of all five elements: e.g. Metal (round); earth usually rectangular or granite or marble stones for the fountain; w…

Dear Anon, That looks like you have enhanced yourself sufficiently. Remember that by using Water, any metal you meet will be turned into Water thus enhancing your weak wood. I think that should be sufficient. Water is represented by wavy lines, glass objects type. etc. No, you should still have some of them, becuase in your case Earth is your wealth. Once you have enhanced yourself with water to strengthen your weak wood, you can then control your wealth deity which appears in the form of Earth. In any case, you should have a balance rather that completely removing a certain element away. This is because although Metal to you is your destruction, it also is the el…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I am planning to buy a landed house, front facing South, backyard is facing North. The housing area will have 200+ houses. It's at the middle of hill. The hill top is facing North. Behind the hill is a durian plantation farm and a grave site. The distance of the grave site to the house is about 500m. Will the grave site has bad effect to the house owner? Is it advisable to buy or avoid buying this house? Generally, having a graveyard close to your home isn't advisable. The fact, that you are concerned and are asking this question, will also mean other people who will be interested in your property will have the same concern. As such, you wil…

Dear Karen, The kindergarten method is to place a crystal at the SW = romance corner (of a room or house). Sometimes, by coincidence this matches the "romance" sector of the home. Under Flying Star Feng Shui, in general, and specifically the 20 Year Flying Star Feng Shui:- MS # WS # Base # If you seek help from a Feng Shui practitioner, most likely the practitioner will advise to activate MS # especially if is #8 or #9 Where MS#8 = networking, relationship luck. The above example is very general but give an idea as a proper Flying Star analysis of a given sector includes looking at all the relationships of MS# with WS# with base #. Here, there is a higher change…

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.

Dear Cindy, When it comes to Feng Shui, one has to take note of two ingredients:- 1. Sit facing a good direction for study. (You can make use of the free reports at http://www.geomancy.net to generate a chart for your daughter. There is a free report specific to the placement of study postion. 2. Another critical factor is based on Shapes and Forms i.e. and it has to do with light filtering (or sometimes becoming a glare) into the windows to the bedroom. 2.1 For example, if the bedroom happens to face West directly. And there are no other buildings or trees to block out this sunlight. It can be difficult to do work if our table is against a window facing such a strong li…

Dear Anon, Your question reminds one of the state regulations in Singapore. Where, we are only allowed to display the national flag prior to national day and must take it down within a reasonable date after the national day is over e.g. 1 month, later. Unlike in the US, where one can display the a reasonably good condition flag all year round. In your question, it would certainly make or sense to celebrate Chinese New Year (CNY) with the decorations. But after 15 days or slightly longer, it would not make much sense to display the decorations -- other than some Chinese continue to hang a red banner "Ang chai" all year round above their door. Once CNY is over, it is bes…

Dear Sophia, It all depends on the interior layout plan. Actually, for those living in a landed property, often, the frontage of the home would be the living room area and "behind" it is the diningarea. Thus for landed properties, more often, the diningarea is higher than the living room. And not the other way as mentioned, below. This is quite common because, most of the time, "clear-space" should be at the"frontage" and the back of the home should be higher. Thus,generally, without taking intoother considerations,for landed properties, there may be a concern if theliving room is higher than the dining area. This would suggest that there is a "mountain" at the fronta…

Dear D'Natalie, D'Natalie Smith wrote: Can someone explain to me how is it that someone with a strong metal element would need to use fire as a booster when I read that it should be earth? A strong Metal means that you are strong due to too much Earth and Metal. Therefore in general Earth and Metal are considered unfavourable. Water is the best solution to help Strong Metal given that is exhaust the excess Metal. Fire is also good because Fire destroy Metal. However, Fire is more a double edged sword as it also strengthen the Earth. Therefore, I mentioned that Water is most effective. Wood is simply wealth to Strong Metal. Therefore, in general Water, Wood, Fire are ge…

Traditionally, this "clash" does not affect one's wealth. Especially if both neighbour's and your main entrance does not face each other directly. It may be considered to affect relationship with the "neighbour". Thus, if your company does not have any direct dealings with the opposite neighbour, then, no major issue. Anonymous wrote: We are building our office. We are on the last part of the construction and we noticed that our gate is directly opposite our neighbors gate. I know that gates facing each other is not very lucky, what do we do? Should we put a wall instead? But if we do put a wall, then we would have no garage. Help.

Is the Location of the bed ok for my husband and myself ? because there is no other place to put our bed. 2nd if not then if there is a cure for this, please let me know. Thank you Very much

Dear Joe, Glad to hear from you!:) 1. An alternative for closing the door is to keep the location bright. Under the Eight House Theory, it is best to concentrate on two primary locations: a. The bedroom (especially the master bedroom) b. The main entrance door. Overally, so long as the location is kept bright (natural lighting is the best) where the curtains are not too thick nor closed all the time. If one party likes privacy, and closes the door, the rest can leave their door open as you have mentioned to allow Qi to circulate. The other point is that if under the Flying Star Theory and so long as there is no 2 star (sickness) or 5 star (misfortune); between the two th…

1. This layout is quite common. Usually, many owners erect a gypsum partition and take the opportunity to place their company logo and (for a business, a reception counter) and for e.g. retail outlet some window displays over this area. 2. As the picture shows that the staircase is quite a distance away from the main door, have such a "screen" as mentioned above, will be fine. Thus if one cannot see it, it no longer becomes a threat. Quote: The main door of my new shop is facing the staircase. What can I do so that it will not affect my business as I can't change the door location as this is rented from the owner.

Dear Anon, One observation in Singapore is that there are still many Geomancers; many only familiar with Eight House Theory and practising FS. Some of these practitioners started FS business as a novice, finding the simplicity of Eight House and have not upgraded themselves in their " FS careers ". Hopefully, they should compensate this with good Shapes and Form FS. The main worry about applying only Eight House or Flying Star is that these two theories should not be used in isolation. Many a times, one who only favours numerology i.e. Flying Star; may overlook the Shapes and Form. It is of no great value if it sounds nice on paper i.e. the stars looks great but everyting…

Dear Carlo, Anonymous wrote: Hi, I'm confused about the best sleeping position. In the free reports,thebest sleep position looksdifferent from the best work or study position. So, for sleeping I have to have the best direction for me behind my head when laying down on my bed? It looks like you have to face in the opposite direction. Is this correct? For the other positions (work, study), itlooks like you have to have your head facing towards your best direction. Is this also correct? Yes, sleeping position is where say East is Longevity, your head should point to East and your feed point opposite in the West. This is because you are sleeping so your head should be pointe…

Dear Anon, There are differing views on this: 1. Some FS practioners find it inauspicious to have the face of the clock face into the living room. Here, it is similar to the concept where it is advisable not to have a clock `face out' of the living room window. It is acceptable if the clock is `meant' to bounce an inauspicious poison arrow. 2. As a clock tower is a narrow tower, and if in a child's room, it is located on the right side of the window, this is considered "penmanship" peak where it is auspicious as this represents a child can become a scholar.

I am thinking of getting a flat in this area. Some units have windows facing the cross junction. 1. Is it advisable to avoid units with windows facing cross the cross junction? 2. Will the units with windows not facing the cross junction be affected too, considering that the whole structure of the blocks seem to be pointing to the cross junction. 3. Even though the windows of 298 do not face the junction, are the units there fine since the block is closest to the junction? Thanks!

Dear Anon, 1. There are some differences in opinion over this. But the differences are not on Feng Shui but rather based on `beliefs'. 2. The belief is that it is inauspicious to hang a carpet especially if it has been `used' before e.g. stepped on. 3. On the other hand, some find it acceptable to hang carpets. Especially `antique' carpets such as the Famous hand stiched Persian carpets. 4. It is my opinion, that there is really no harm to hang decorative carpets on the wall. They can be treated like any other piece of art. (Especially if they are rare pieces). Where best, if they have red background, ideally they should be hung in the living room or in a `special' room. …

Since you have already consulted your Feng Shui consultant, it is best to follow their advise given that your question is very general.

Hi Anon, Generally, plants in general are good for beautifying the environment as well as as plants with flowers are often good indicators to whether a sector is good or bad. Remember that the goal of feng shui is ultimately to create an environment which you will feel comfortable in. Most people should find that a home with plants or a beautify garden very relaxing to be around. Thus, plants no matter what variety are always used. In terms of feng shui, any sharp objects pointing at your home or etc are considered poison arrows. Which is why most people will go for less torny plants if and where possible. Usually, one will also try to avoid getting plants which can cr…

As mentioned in an earlier reply to one of your questions: the model that you are using originated as / from " A modern invention - invented by Lin Yun "..... All Traditional Chinese Feng Shui sites and practitioners steer clear of such "rubbish" (bull-shit) in the name of "Feng Shui"..... http://qi-whiz.com/node/35- The Confession of Lin Yun ....

Dear Leigh, In my opinion, many traditional practitioners of Feng Shui strongly believe that we should not reverse the readings for the southern hemisphere. I am not going to comment on the use of the "fixed template" or the placement of a "fixed" bagua onto a layout plan as this is a modern invention. And not widely practised by Traditional School(s) of Feng Shui. The example of water draining out of the sink the opposite site which differs clockwise or anti-clockwise between the North and South hemispere is often used by those who reverse the readings. There are lots of arguments against this such as the Five Elements Concept: Metal - Water - Wood - Fire - Earth ce…
