Location in Conflict is South. - Avoid having renovations done opposite the location in conflict. For 2008, avoid both North and South as mentioned, above. This year 5 yellow also happens to be at South. Thus, especi…

Dear Daniel, I strongly encourage everyone to first grasp the fundamental principles of Feng Shui. When discussing two main doors, we are focusing solely on the 'end result' rather than the underlying causes of the situation. It is essential to comprehend the root of the matter; initially, the number of main doors—whether two or three—is not the primary concern. In 'proper' Feng Shui, if a house has two doors, it is advisable to conduct a Feng Shui audit to explore the scenarios associated with using Door A versus Door B. If one door is found to be more auspicious than the other, it is preferable to utilize that door more frequently for our own purposes. Our con…

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, if your working position is North, then you should be facing North and sitting with your back at South. My Kua Number 1 My best working position is N ( 337.5 to 22.4) Do you mean sitting N at 337.5 to 22.4 facing N with my back at South. 2. You should be facing SE. And sitting with your back against NW Quote: If I base on the sitting position recommended. MyWealth position is SE (Prosperity) If I choose to work on this position.. Do you meansitting on SE facing and facing SE position . 3. Usually,especially the for the Five Yellow, it is advisable for this and Tai Sui location to : not to do anymajor renovations or distrub these two areas, …

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, I share the same view as what you had mentioned. 2. Based on observations, I do notice that many Chinese do not display deities like Kwan Imm in closed display shelfs. 3. This is like `imprisoning' the deity. 4. In some of the earlier replies, I have also mentioned:- 4.1. Do not place the statue in the bedroom or on the same wall as the toilet. 4.2. I have not mentioned this but some believers or Feng Shui practitioners do not advise that the statute be placed facing the main entrance door. To these practitioners or believers, it is to them, `disrespectful' to `employ' or `misuse' deities to "guard" your main door. Well, the above are some of…

OK -- point well taken. :) Yvonne

1. The scientic method is to use the Eight House (Ba Cai) or Eight Mansions to determine the best bed-head directions for your children. 2. What you had mentioned, has more to do with "commonsense" Feng Shui or commonly known as "Commonsense approach to Feng Shui". 3. Here, commonsense prevails. For example, often the Chinese don't want to place a bed-head or a bed close to a window for one or more of the following reasons:- 3.1 "Safety concerns" Imagine, living a ground floor unit or the bedroom is along a common housing board corridor. And if the window(s) are open, and if there is an inconsiderate or cruel passerby, they may even throw in a lighted cigarette butt …

1. In general, the wine industry is considered as belonging to the "Water" element. Reference: http://talk.geomancy.net 2. If you are promoting the "investment" into wines; then from your company's point of view; you should be considered as belonging to the Fire element: Marketing and Sales of wine. Especially if your company's purpose is to make a profit and in your case, you most probably, you may get a commission. 3. Although the term "investment" can be found under the Metal element, in the above link, personally, I feel this "investment" is strongly associated more with the Banking industry and meant more for the investor than the person, encouraging one to invest…

Dear Anon, Some of the major considerations in the placement of an altar are: 1. It must not face a dining table. The rationale here is that, it would be considered disrespectful to eat in front of Guan Yin. Imagine the god salivating while one is eating. 2. It must not be placed on the same wall as the toilet (especially the toilet bowl). 3. Try not to face into a bedroom. This is considered unclean (looking into bedroom[s]/ 4. Where possible the figurine should not be facing the main door. We do not want to the god to be the security guard. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: The picture file shown is similar to the flat that I had purchased. The walls of the study room and another bedroom have sloping walls. If I have built in cabinets to make the walls straight, does it help? Yes, sloping walls tend to create additional poison arrow, so not very good in feng shui perspective. In feng shui, as long as you can no longer see the threat, it no longer becomes an issue.So by building a cabinet to hide the slope will be one way to resolve this sha qi. The other way is if your ceiling is very high, a false ceiling is also another away to conceal such sloping walls or any beams. These are usually the most effective sol…

Dear Anon, To confirm, does the eaves point towards any part of the bed or a study table. Can you further elaborate what an eave is. Is it a pointed corner. Thanks. Cecil

1. The true nature of what you mentioned or "the statement" has more to do with pure landscape. 2. Where the best landscape is not only the academic sayingof the entrance door where one sees the dragon and ??? where is the tiger? 3.What it really is suppose to be is a good site is where one can see not just the green dragon but a white tiger. And the key ingredient is thatboth are in gentle embrace. 4. This is the key success factorof a good site based on this concept of Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 5. Thus: to be frank: "so what if thedragon is ... " but where is the tiger? in gentle embrace! Anonymous wrote: Dear Cecil Many thanks for this excellent site I have a d…

Dear Master Cecil: I am unable to upload a sketch of the way of my house situates relative to my neighbors' houses. Let me see if I understand your message. I cannot cover all cases. I simply try to summarize what I observe on the street I live. Primarily, the street in front of a house determines the direction of the Qi comes from. Therefore, if a number of single family detached houses situated side by side facing a street: 1. The frontage of the houses that are closer to the street collect more wealth. 2. The frontage of the houses that are relatively distant from the street lose wealth to other houses. 3. The frontage of the houses that sort of tilt away from the stre…

Dear Anon, It is ok for you to thrim the bushes in front of your main door as you are not `disturbing' the earth i.e. unless you are digging the earth at the east location. If you dig the earth, Symbolically place a metal object between the main door area. For example you can use a metallic foodtray or even a shovel on the wall. Metal will be able to shield the house and the trimming. It is best not to let the bushes overgrow as this would bring a different set of inauspicous qi especially since it is at the main entrance. Therefore, trimming does not distrub the earth. If there is a major digging going on in the East, the best metal to use is to place a car/vehicle bet…

Dear Benjamin, Please refer to the attached sample report. Sample Gender: Male Conversion of Date of Birth: Solar Calendar: 17 Oct 1980 between 1.00 p.m. to 2.59 p.m. Lunar Calendar: 1980, 9th month, 9 day, between 1.00 p.m. to 2.59 p.m. In this example, the arrow shows the direction, he should be facing. Thus his best work directions are: Sitting facing Direction: North-East Exact Degree: 22.5 to 67.4 Description: This is your Prosperity direction or Sitting facing Direction: South-West Exact Degree: 202.5 to 247.4 Description: This is your Excellent direction. Yes, the arrow shows the direction, one should face, when sitting down to work or stu…

Dear Daniel, Daniel Davis wrote: Currently I'm staying in a house which is belong to my wife. The house title is in her name. Is it to say, that what ever we do on the house, it should be base on my wife ??? The more important question you should be asking, is who is actually paying for the house? You see a house may be registered under your wife, but if you are paying for the house and you are staying there. You are more likely the breadwinner for the house. But if your wife is paying for the house, then it would be your wife as the breadwinner. Hope that helps to clarify. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear ed Gin, Flying Star house number is only used to check whether a house unit is auspicious or not. This is particularly useful in determining which of the two units say #13-79 or #11-79 has better luck. The descriptions of the impact does not really occur. Whether or not you have such stars depends very much on the flying star analysis of your home more than a house number. So there should be nothing to worry about. Hope that helps.

Dear Master Cecil: I apologize for not being clear about the description of the house. The front door opens up to a "good size" foyer area. There is only one staircase leading up to the second floor. The staircase is on the left hand side of the foyer area. Nonetheless, the staircase is "not" situated in the range of the front door. The other end of the foyer is (1) a closet (for guests to hang their coats) and (2) a hallway that leads to a room for families to eat breakfast and snacks. To be specific, when the front door opens up, the first view farther to the foyer is the side wall of the closet, which occupies roughly more than 1/2 of the range of the front door. And t…

Dear Anon, Closing the lid of the toilet sit is secondary to Feng Shui. Here, the chief consideration is to try to locate imbalances e.g. using the Flying Star analysis for the house. If there is an imbalance, we need to `fix' it. As for closing the lid of the toilet, in my opinion, it is better to simply close the toilet door. If so, one do not need to close the lid of the toilet sit/bowl. You have brought up an interesting perspective thou:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear SY, Thank you for your layout plan. Yes, the layout is pretty `unique' and sometimes it may not be feasible to simply divide it into shapes such as eg. Two `L' shapes as they may not be such. In your case, the preferred option is to make a photocopy of the layout plan or print it. Paste/glue the photocopy on a cardboard. Next `cut-out' the outline of the layout plan. You use a nail to balance the layout. When you are able to balance the entire `cut-out' layout, i.e. centre of gravity then use this point as the centre-point of the home. You can then from here determine the direction to the main entrance. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Please be careful. There is no known crystal or stones that have such magic powers. 2. Maybe, we should not be reading too many Superman cartoons of kryptonite and it's effect on him. 3. In Singapore, many people were conned into buying a "magic" stone which claims to be able to cure cancer and other ailments. These victims learned the hard way with their hard earned money. 4. Cavet Emptor! Let the buyer, beware! 5. Remember: Charity begins at home. Might as well keep the money for a rainy day or bring family members for a sunday lunch treat! Why should we line the pockets of con-persons with our hard earned money. 6. Shhhhhh! Let you in on a secret... the Mo…

Dear Lawerence, Yes, your observations are correct. This is because, especially in a home, the location that has both water and fire element is the kitchen area. And there are many considerations, when water and fire is close-by! For example: 1. Compass School Feng Shui Many practitioners who apply the Compass School of Feng Shui is very much concerned with "Fire at Heaven's" gate. And under this concept, it is very bad luck to have the stove placed at this specific location e.g. NW sector of the home. And when analysing Flying Star numbers, some combination of Flying Stars may be very bad for stove placement. For example, the location that may have MS#9 with WS#6…

Hi would like your comments on which Aparment block has a better position? Block A , B or C? If D is a playground, can it be considered as a Ming Tang between the 2 converging rivers? [IMG]http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/philture/Mapfrfengshuionrivervista.jpg[/IMG]

What you mentioned reminds me of this: "The Ground Is Best Fertilized By Those Who Dwell On It".... Other sayings are: "A photo tells a thousand words... all text... means nothing".....
