Hi Sifu, I have been told by one of my wife's family member to do these for my moving-in ritual. Is this neccessary? Based on my wife and my birthdate, 22nd December this year is consider an auspicious date for us to move-in I should move my furniture i.e. existing bed, wardrobe before my official move-in date, which is anytime before 22nd December So my question is, is it really important to move my existing bed and furniture a day before and not the exact move-in date? Because this require us to book for a hotel room for my family and my parents I was told pineapple rolling is not mandatory, just hug rice and my wife to hug pillow to move …

Dear Anon, Please see below:- By definition, brown (and green) belongs to the wood element. For example, oak, teak, american cherry wood (dark or light) etc.. belong to the wood element in lieu that their colour is brown. Where it comes to pine, it is still wood element but an experienced Feng Shui practitioner would ask their clients to avoid this type of material i.e. pine ( sold in IKEA ) as it resembles closer to `yellow' or earth element. Therefore, if in doubt, a FS practitioner would normally, try to advise their clients to go more for other popular wook grains such as teak and the popular cherry wood type of colour. 1. For most shapes, colour takes precede…

Dear Anon, I believe many of us really sympathise with you on your situation. However, I sincerely belief, Feng Shui has no answer to this. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, It is not a `conclusive' fact that paintings can neutralise bad sectors. In well published Feng Shui cures, the most common neutralizing agents range from: 1. If you cannot see it it no longer becomes a sha. 2. Use of lighting, water positions and plants. 3. Use of 6 coins to defeat say the bad #2 and #5 For paintings, it is mostly used to enhance the interior. Caligraphy of meaningful words are commonly used. One can say that as there are many practioners with their view points, or agenda, there are those who pay emphasis on paintings while others do not really feel that they are of the utmost importance. In my personal opinion, painting is secondary. What is …

Thanks for bring this up. I guess it is the use of English. To clarify, you should first find the centre of the house. An example is shown at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm. Next, you should use an ordinary compass and stand at the centre of the house. The direction, the main door faces is the direction of the door. At a later date, I will revise the page and `correct' the English so that is is no longer ambigious. Once again, thanks for hightlighting this information. Cecil

Dear Master Lee, based on the attached floorplan, could you kindly advise if which is a better option to place the Altar? If both are no suitable, can recommend other placement? My Altar is a Buddhist Altar. Thank you in advance.

Dear Carina, Please see below:- 1. Ideally, please check that it should not be in the North sector of the home. 2. Where possible the stove should face inwards i.e. face inwards of the main door. If the above are met, it is still considered acceptable. Usually, a small table, be it hexagon, square etc.. (coffee table) will not make an impact on the house. Usually, the table should not have a poison arrow aimed at e.g. the sofa. As for the Ba Gua table, its angle or 8 corners should not pose a problem as it is not like the corners of a rectangle or square table at 90 degrees angle. I assume that the beam must be a concrete beam. If you are staying in Singapor…

Hi Master Lee, I'm skeptical about purchasing this house which has a right angled trapezium land shape at the entrance. Can you please have a quick look and advice if is this is inauspicious? Thank you.

Dear Karen, One best test to see if a mirror is located in a good or bad location is by sitting on the bed. If you can see your profile in the mirror either lying down or simply setting on the bed, this is considered no good under Feng Shui. The rationale is because, it was felt that when we sleep, our souls leave our body and when it sees itself in a mirror, it will get a `shock'. This view is widely held although some authors may interpret this differently but still hold on to this concept. In my website, I mentioned that, if you do not have a problem and can sleep peacefully with a mirror facing you, then, go ahead but if you have restless sleeps, perhaps, you may want…

Hello, I have liked an apartment as it suits all my needs. However it is in L shape. How can you make adjustments to it for it to have good Feng Shui or is it a total no no to get this place. Attached a photo of the floor plan .Thanks

Hello Thank you for allowing me to post on this forum. I have a question. Can I use a Ba Gua mirror to deflect negative and aggressive energy coming from my neighbor’s house? I have no ill thoughts towards my neighbors but their barking dogs are causing a lot of stress that is coming into my house. They are directly in front of my house. Can I use a ba gua mirror? If yes, which one? Flat, convex or concave? Thank you.

Hello Master Cecil, My house is shaped too oddly, and I am unsure on how to place the flying star. Also, I am a bit unsure but, should I use the period 9 flying star even though this unit was built in period 8?

Good day Master Lee, I would appreciate greatly if you can advice if this property is inauspicious. My first impression of this property is that it is on a corner + at the entrance of the cul de sac, and the land has a trapezium shape, which maybe unfavorable in terms of fengshui. Thank you.

Hi, I'm new here, hope someone can help to answer some questions i have regarding the layout of my new home. 1. Is it ok to have a tall cabinet right outside a room door? Facing room door directly. 2. Is it ok that the dining table is facing an alley? 3. Is it ok for the master room to be odd shaped? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Just some other info, in the original plan, the master bedroom door is directly facing the toilet door. The plan attached is to avoid this problem. But is it a definite no for room door to face toilet? Or is there any other way to circumvent this? Thanks!!

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?

Hi Master, I've been trying to draw the 9 grid so i can identify which room is which direction but I am confused by what should be included or excluded from the 9 grid. Please could I kindly get your advise on this. Thank you.

1. Usually, for such instances, it is best to get professional help especially if you are uncertain whether it is True or not. 2. Sometimes, your measurement(s) are not accurate - i.e. false alarm. 3. If it is true that your home falls on the void line, then it is best to get professional help to assess the situation and provide further advise. 4. If you want to DIY, then one of the most common methods is to purchase a "copper" ruler; re-do the front door floor tiles and embed the ruler strategically at an angle from the void line. This is one of the most common methods.

Greetings master and fellow users of this forum! I have recently got a house that is a NE2 Period 8 house. A Reversed house, Parent string. I haven't moved to the house just yet, I have plans on building a small pond in the SW2 and enhance a small mountain at the front (there is a building that is higher than mine, but a little further, so I want to create a small artificial hill incorporating my front fence). I have two issues now: 1. how is the period 9 going to affect this house? 2. I'm a Xun Metal monkey (female, born in 1980). The main door is on TIger mountain, so a direct clash. What do I do to make this house a harmounious Parent String Formation fo…

Dear Anon, Currently, the best units atGardens are those facing the main gate (pool) such as Blocks 3 or 7. These blocks are not affected by the temple. For example, the units under these blocks (facing Sin Ming Walk) are NE facing and very auspicious under current Flying star. If possible, avoid Block 1. And Block 9 (Winter) because of the afternoon sun. Warmest Regards, Cecil

We are on the process of purchasing a block of land. I’m just wondering if this shape is a good shape? Thank you.

The saying goes: "Take no for all answers!" Even if move-in rituals were predominantly a Chinese thing; "You have to squezee out some procedure for us NON-Chinese, you know!" It is not good enough that you provide free combined auspicious dates: "It must be for ALL MY Family members, you know!" Luckily.. not many are like this...

Dear Sophia, The primary consideration in a kitchen is the placement of the stove. It should typically be oriented in a direction that is convenient for the spouse or the woman of the household. Regarding the kitchen sink, this is generally not a significant concern, and it is permissible for it to be positioned as you have indicated. Therefore, it is not essential to keep the toilet door closed even when it is not in use. You are correct in stating that excessive partitions or screens should be avoided in the home. Improperly placed partitions can disrupt the flow of the home, akin to a knife cutting through its various areas. For resident…

Dear David, Yesterday, I posted a reply to a question on house hunting i.e. a user is interested in a second floor or storey unit. From a Feng Shui point of view, one should consider if there are any "threats" if any to the unit. The threats could be simple things like a landscaped garden tall thin trees like palm tree(s),or a garden lamp post slicing into any of thebalcony, bedroom windows,bedroom balcony sliding windows. Therefore, the greatest threat would come from these and sometimes even walk-ways that has a shelter. Especially if the roofof the shelteror even a club-house roof - could sometimes slice lower floors. Therefore, the major threatscomesgenerally, fr…
