Honestly, Feng Shui is not a cure all. It is a holistic approach to harmony, health and balance of qi. Scientifically, Feng Shui can still be used, but this is "troublesome" especially for newbies or anyone not family with it. As for selling, if one knows how to: first locate where the home has bad star numbers like #3 , #5 and #7, there is a higher chance based on Feng Shui to improve the luck for selling the home.

1. Frankly, there are so many resources on the compass, in this forum. 2. It starts from what type of compass are the best e.g. suunto compass and how to (and other compass properly). 3. A search in this forum will also have articles on how to find the centrepoint of a home, how to superimpose a compass chart on it etc..... Try to use your fingers to do the walking..... SEARCH

Dear Miu Kwan, Please see below:- 1. Under Eight House Theory, `Irritation line' as it suggest is minor as compared to `death or disaster' sectors. 2. If there are no serious problems, especially health, you may if you want to `skip' Flying Star analysis. 3. Symbollically, in my opinion, it is still best to use the main entrance. Rather than become a `servant' yourself when using the back door. 4. Another "controversy" is that if the main door (frontage) is opposite the backdoor, it makes no sense to call the back door (facing the backyard) the main entrance. Here, removing the house number, to place at the back door, is not a `logical solution'. 5. The Eight Hous…

Auspicious/inauspicious dates are based on the lowest common denominator = the Five Elements. One's ba zi e.g. Element and strength also based on the Five Elements. Thus, one can apply one's favourable color(s) on that day.

Dear Anon, I believe your statement is true. I have not fully researched into this aspect but I have do remember coming across a variety of dragons. Cannot really remember off-hand if there are at least 13 but this figure sounds reasonable enough. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Spring, 1. The next best alternative is to ensure that the tree is properly trimmed since you are unable to cut it down. 2. Trimming the tree would help to reduce the `floor area' of the tree `foot print'. By doing so, will ensure that that sector is no longer too yin. 3. Trees are actually Yang. But because of the shadow that it casts below, it can create a too yin environment especially at the frontage of the home. 4. I am not sure what the three symbols are. Usually, the most common of the three symbols are the Fu (Prosperity) Lu (Luck) Shou (Longevity) symbols. 5. You can view the following pictures under this URL to see if they are similar to your three symbols:…

Dear Susan, Under the Holy Trinity of luck: 1. Heaven Luck (born with a silver spoon or not) 2. Earth Luck (Feng Shui of a home or office or place) 3. Human Luck (Usually, it is about us: have a feel good factor) Every home and even bedrooms have a limited scope to place a bed. Especially placing a bed that suits our bed-head direction - due to things like fixed door to the bedroom, windows etc.. Many of us try (nowadays) to do things in the name :sake of hoping to have better Feng Shui such as trying to place our bed-head towards a good direction. However, we should always consider this situation as NICE-TO-HAVE. And not a MUST-HAVE. What is more important is the Hu…

Yes, symbolically, a good company logo should avoid anything that signifies cutting, slicing or pointed sharp edges towards the wordings.

Dear Anon, Frankly, we have conducted at least greater than 9,000 Feng Shui audits based on the influence on China timing. We still feel that this is accurate for the following reasons: 1. Many Masters use Pillars of Destiny use only the Year, Month, Day and Time of birth. Furthermore, time of birth can even be left out if not known. 2. Some people give the false notion that it must be based on GMT time. But GMT time even has been changed in 1980 or other periods for some countries. 3. Chinese timing is based on two hourly timings unlike the 1 hour time we are used to. 4. Even if we want to consider latitude, we must also consider longitude in such a senario where GMT ti…

1. This has more to do with Commonsense or Commonsense approach to Feng Shui: 1.1. For example, in the even that the stove area catches fire; both smoke and fire may overwhemn the staircase area. 1.2. Alternatively, if for some reasons; the fire at the stove was extinguished but if the stove is a gas stove; the gas may flow around the staircase / and nearby area - both dangerous and may be fatal to breathe-in.

Dear Anon, This question covers quite a "wide angle" or a range of thinking and practise: 1. If you have seen the picture of the house I described under http://www.geomancy.net/fs/grandpa1.htm One will see that the original house looks like it has a " head " i.e. the Ba Gua shaped frontage of the house. A closer look and one will notice the body of the house. Locally, some older houses are of this type of shape while others are not. 2. Some older houses in Singapore has a toilet at the North (true compass direction) , a Ba Gua shaped roof at the South (also true compass direction) of the House. 3. Some houses neither conform to the above. 4. Here, there are as many think…

Dear Glenys, It is good that for you try to use the Eight House Theory. The instructions are at: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm A free computerised version of the Eight House is at www.geomancy-forum.com The Eight House can be personalised to an individual and will show your four auspicious and inauspicious sectors. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear CECIL, I had posted a similar question earlier. My confusion is that houses sitiing in the East directions are called EAST houses. Then according to this the house should face West(sitting in East),or North(sitting in South) or South(sitting in North) orNW(sitting in SE).Now out of these NW and W are not considered to be good directions for the East group people, especially if they happen to be Death and Disaster directions for an individual. Please comment. Thanking you very much.

Dear CM, For a home, you should be looking at the micro-level e.g. your actual condo or office unit's main door to check on suitability. Sometimes, when the building main entrance is looked at, it is often to apply Flying Star Feng Shui to look or study the qi of the building e.g. where to place a suitable water feature outside of the building and/or to build landscaping to suit the flying stars. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: Eg. I am an East-group person, is it ok to choose a home/office where: - the building's main entrance is facing NE, SW, W, NW, - but the actual condo/office unit's main door is facing N, E, S, SE?

1. I believe you are trying to avoid moving in after the Chinese 7th lunar month beginning from 20 August 2009. 2. Thus, I also feel that continuing with the renovation is considered as a lesser of the two. 3. The plus point is that the activites you had describe is nothing new or serious: "such as polishing of floor, painting of house, toilet renovation, etc". Such activites are also done by many others present and past who had stayed in a home for quite some time. 4. Thus, in my opinion, all these activities that you had described are OK. Just that do take note of locations based on the Tai Sui and Five Yellow and Three Killings location for the year. Reference: htt…

This has more to do literally with commonsense. For example, majority of the time:- 1. Landed property: Most of the time, this is the clear space area or passage way area. 2. For many smaller condos; usually, this area is close to the passageway leading towards the other "organs" of the home. 3. For some condos and government housing board flats; this area is sometimes within the toilet and or toilet door area or again the passage way area. 4. Thus, commonsense would mean that most likely if any hacking; would be the "surrounding rooms e.g. making the master bedroom larger or demolishing a wall in the bedroom area for a walk-in wardrope or making the room larger or even …

Dear Kennth Chong, Kenneth Chong wrote: In 2006, Tai Sui resides in the NW direction. Is it alright to sit at my working desk facing SE (in order to get support from NW)even if SE is my bad direction? My Kua no. is 6. Generally, the most important thing is avoid having any major renovations to disturb the tai sui. Which in this case avoid having any major renovations in NW direction. As for the sitting and having the tai sui behind you, this is more for any major events or key things in your life. So as to get the Tai Sui behind you to back you up. Otherwise, for normal day to day activities, fra…

Dear Anon, 1. A mountain star can only be activated if that location has a mountain star. It is not like when there is a wall, one can `simply' activate a mountain star. It has to be located. The rationale why no specific object for a mountain star has been quoted other than it should have mass and cannot move implies that one can reasonably find a suitable object for it. In this sense, no one can make commercialization out of it. Imagine, if you were asked to purchase only a specific object. It would certainly make Feng Shui `emporiums' or stores happy. Ultimately, the claim could be that it can be placed on any wall. We do not want this to happen rite? 2. A large bo…

Dear Anon, In a past article in this website; I have mentioned that there was a study in Germany. Where it was reported that there were higher incidences of cancer for those who place their bed above a sewerage pipe. In your case, hopefully, the toilet bowl shares another wall (other than with your bed head). If so, so long as the toilet bowl does not share the same wall as your bed-head this is often fine. Just try to avoid having the toilet bowl (pipes) on the same wall as your bed-head. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: I have a wallbetween my bedroom and bathroom. The toliet is placed behind that wall. If I put my bed against that wall, would tol…

Lets look at this example where there is a bad #5 around. For example:- Mountain Star is #5 and Water Star is #9; Here, we must apply the Five elements concept. ASSOCIATION ONE: #9 = Fire element irregardless whether it falls under the Mountain or Water Star. In this example, we often say the the Water star #9 is being exhausted by earth star #5. Thus, overall, it is said that the Water Star is being block or wealth (water star) is blocked. Please note that the above still relies on the five elements concept. ASSOCIATION TWO: #9 from now to 2023 is the COMING PROSPERITY In addition, the knowledge that from now to 2023:- #8 = current prosperity #9 = COMING prosperity (e…

These are some considerations: 1. House number interpretation is altogether a different thing. Here, often: one man's meat is another man's poison. 1.1 Many Chinese are influenced e.g. by the Cantonese dialect group who distinctively hate " 4 " (die) and even 14 = sure to die 2. However, it has no relation to Feng Shui. But more towards personal feel good or bad factor and subsequently may affect resale value; should one put the home in the market. 3. Frankly, if one knows Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui; these two major schools can be used to analyse sucha foreclosed home and check whether there are any major fatal errors (if any). 4. At best, the common se…

These are some considerations: 1. It is best to do a scientific triage. 1.1. What you mentioned is based purely on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. In order?to apply this properly, if the evaluator is not on the ground to study the situation; sometimes : a photo tells a thousand words. 1.2. This is because, sometimes contrary to a lay person; what you had described: the wall at the front entrance; this may not even be the "FRONTAGE" under both Shapes and Forms and?Flying Stars Feng Shui. 1.2.1 Especially if the house opens to a beautiful "backyard" etc... So you may in fact be describing about the "rear of the house" instead. 2. Flying Star Feng Shui can zoom in on areas…

Dear Anon, To a varying degree, there are many types of dragons. Some are `English' in origin e.g. those you see in the show `Dragon Heart' with Sean Connery as the `dragon's' features and voice. There are many other `types' of dragon where they come from. The `traditional' Chinese dragon from what I understand does not have wings. For example, if one has the opportunity to see a dragon `dance' where performers hold the head, body and tail and move around gracefully (similar to the fashion where u see a lion dance). Therefore, I have not come across any dragons with winds as what u have mentioned. What matters is the symbolism e.g. a dragon with our without wings (by defi…

Dear Cecil thanks for your prompt reply on these matters. Will call you for an official consulation soon on office space. I am actually considering setting up a website on property and was wondering if you might wish to be featured in the links pageor offer permision to reproduce some of yourcontent in return for links/advertisement for your site. I think more people need to know about your services! For example, when people look for a house, they need to specify what direction the door is facing to determine what sort of a house it is, but I'm want to give the correct FENGSHUI definition of a house, i.e I do not know if the correct way to look at direction of a door is …
