1. For a landed property, it is very straight forward to take a compass reading i.e. majority of the time it is where usually cars drive past our main entrance area. And this is where often, we drive into the home. And most of the living room / main door is (located). For landed property, just hold the luo-pan (most of the time) standing inside of the door looking outwards of the home. The luo pan has a needle and there is also "two red dots". Once the needleis properly aligned try to place the two dots in between the needle - this marking will show the north compass marking. 2. Fora condo type development, if your building as mentioned earlier has one "facing" e.g. a s…

Wow, that was fast ! I guess it already happened and too late, nothing we can do......? Will park a car in the driveway anyways. Master Cecil, thank you so much !!

1. In many of the recent messages, I had stressed that Shapes and Forms has a critical component: Qi. Here, with much understanding of how qi flows e.g. in a room. 2. The other critical situation is the "Ming Tang" or Bright Hall effect. For example; the frontage or even the main door area if possible should have some clear space. Here, clear space means that there is a likelyhood that qi can "collect" at that position. 3. Your question is very wide and "it depends". 4. The purpose of Flying Star Feng Shui is to see where the most yang Qi is located. And this is most likely the higher chance that qi can move into a home. 5. Here, the common denominator of both the Sha…

These are some considerations: 1. Distance of the neighbouring roof-line to your home. The further the better. 2. Openings of your home vs this roof-line: 2.1. If the roof-line is close to the top-half of your window opening i.e. when one stands inside your home window looking at the roof-line; and it is above eye level; this is a sigh of relief. 2.2. Draw the day curtain closed. As the day curtain at this position; is considered as a shield.. if one cannot exactly see the "threat" it is no longer .... Day curtain also provide natural filtered light into the room...

Dear Connie, Thanks for the sketch. As there are two sets of windows and the bedroom door is close to the toilet area etc... the best position for the bedhead is perhaps shown in the attachment. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear San, 1. Sorry, I could not view the link despite cut-paste the link. 2. Actually, it is very common especially for landed properties to have bed-head resting against the window. 3. Locally in Singapore, it is also common to find some people sleep with the bedhead against the window in particular if it is landed property especially if the window bay is well shielded especially from the rain. Or shielded from heavy winds during heavy rain fall with strong gust of wind. 4. Thus, try not to be mistaken that it is "no good" to sleep with bed-head against the window especially if it is a bay window. 5. The concern is meant more for high rise living. For example, in S…

Dear Susan, Yes, I do agree with your comments. It has nothing do with Traditional Feng Shui. As this is not based on Traditional Feng Shui practises. Some traditional Feng Shui Practitioners (with a religious flair) would instead `protect' the main entrance e.g. with charms or the traditional Ba Gua mirror. This is the first time, I have heard of such a `practise' also. Perhaps, new wave " FS ". Warmest Regards, Cecil

thanks cecil you actually gave me clue.The plants in the area I mentioned are all dying I have had to plant some new ones

Hi Edwin, edwin tay wrote: I would like to find out how should I balance the 3 elements of my work desk with Earth, Wood, Water, Metal, Fire? Also, as I'm a weak wood and the fire element in me is quite high, does the'fire' ornament I use to balance my desk increase my 'fire'? One should always rememeber that in Feng Shui, there are always important and least important cures. For example to improve a person luck, the main luck comes from the Home (ie a suitable house element), followed by career (ie sutiable career), and followed by other areas such as colours (of your bedroom, car, clothings etc). As long as you get the above right, even if your work area isn't complet…

Dear Andy, An Advance Search for "beam" under this forumit will yield:- Posted in: Info :: Photo Tours of Interest (Pictures) Posted on: Fri, 11 Feb 2000, 20:42 PM, I have extracted the link from this old resource (Feb 2000 & later 2002):- http://forum.geomancy.net/upload/support-struts.gif (Many modern homes use the gypsum cornice and extend these struts to look more natural or blend in by widening it as shown in your attachment.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi, i have a question regarding the placement of my family photo in my living room. Currently, my family photo is placed on a wall in my living room which is facing the entrance to my kitchen, which also faces the windows in the kitchen (the windows of a normal kitchen ina HDB flat). Please remove it from the current location. It is extremely bad luck to face the family photo facing the kitchen because the kitchen got lots of knife and forks etc which is like cutting the family.

Dear Anon, Pigs signify "abundance". Hopefully not abundance of fat on the body making one rounder:) Last week, I wanted to take a picture of two pigs (each pig on either side of a pillar) of a house. Each of the pig figurine on top of the pillar were carrying an umbrella, they were in a comfortable position lying and `posing' for a short. But as I was in a hurry, could not take a shot of it. Anyway, place it at a place you find `suitable' i.e. in the living room. Pigs are `lazy' animals and not guard dogs so they do not need to face a door, the sliding glass windows etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angela, Apologies, if I side-track a-bit... Two years back, after buying my new home, I grew a bamboo tree. The rationale for bamboo tree was that I calculated, within two years, it would be useful. The reason was because my new house has a personal enclosed space. Althought the house is perfectly suited to me i.e. most suitable house under the Eight House and it also has a double `7' flying star in the current Period 7. Although it is considered an excellent house; like my previous home, it can have a fair share of `poison arrow(s)' that may need to be corrected. Just nice, when I shifted in end of last year, this bamboo tree was there to `cover' or protect my livi…

Dear Angelica, 1. The most common Chinese astrology or Zi Wei Dou Shu is generally based on one's Year of birth. 2. For compatibility purposes, if we use the Year of birth only; then it is quite general. In my opinion, one reading of one person may not be enough. Another element to take note is that of " auto-suggestion ". For example, if we found out that a "Horse person" or a person under the above sign is considered:- "A Dragon person is lively and full of vitality. They are determined and have lots of self-confidence. Dragons are strong fighters, follow own judgement and can take control and deal effectively with any problems. They are also admired but have few cl…

Dear Master Lee, Thank you very much for your sugestion.The particular house I checked with pie method, even though 2 parts of the pieare partialy lay onthe particular room, due to the fact thatthe roomis bitlarge.What can I do in this complicated situation? Your kind feed back is highly appreciated, With warm regards, Wipy Sri

Overall, depending on the external environment (especially the site and location); under Flying Star Period 8, a NE2 home generally enjoys a Parent string especiallyif the frontage has a "mountain" and the back... "clear space" effect. Health especially for the 1st year is a concern but overall, the house may enjoy favourable wealth luck. The suggestion or advise is for a holistic approach to Feng Shui: try to do a full Feng Shui audit : to neutralise the leaks and areas where qi can be improved on, try to do so. The remedy will depend on individual home and individual sector(s) of the home. We just bought a " very inauspicious" house according to the flying star theo…

1. The room layout(s) : Office and Home should always be considered also, when deciding how your tables are placed. 2. For those doing business, ideally, the first choice direction should/could be your "prosperity" direction. However as I had mentioned above, the layout of the room i.e. the location of the door, windows - are also be be seriously looked, or taken into consideration. Even the postion of things like air-conditioner (in-moveable object) and any beams, any poison arrows caused by corners of filing cabinet(s) etc... 3. Since the Tai Sui will be changing in a few weeks soon, this will become a "non-issue" for your existing desk placement.

In my opinion, like any other fields; a parallel is in medicine; the term "Triage" is very important. In Feng Shui also, holitistic Feng Shui is also about applying both Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui. The most important key term is: the Forms (Shapes and forms) determine the Stars and the Stars determine the fate of the people living in that home. If you are able to correctly fix "leaks" in the home or even know where to enhance qi; then this is the best senario. If you are able to DIY correctly; often crucial leaks can be many forms. Under Flying Stars; in your case, a high success factor is to zoom in and especially try to neutralise #3. Maybe it is pre…

1. A water feature that contains all five elements is suppose to create a balance of the five elements in a specific sector. But both in theory and at the same time the optimium consideration for a water feature. 2. However, in the past, a water feature is often used:- 2.1. A water feature with specific number of fishes especially "GOLD" fish : 7 gold-fish and 1 black gold fish is used to disarm bad qi areas that has either #5 or if there is a lamp post facing a window of a home and this is or was used to that effect. 2.2. For wealth: Nowadays, today, especially if the sector is SW (under the current 2004 upto 2023) a water position at SW is suppose to help tap the "…

1. In my opinion, this is modern times and not some medieval times. 2. Nowadays or even in the past,few people if any decide totravel based on the decision of whetherit is a good or inauspicious day to do so. 3. If we do so, there is very little leeway and our life is like at the mercy of or even considered as enslaven. 4. Mathematically speaking: 4.1.It is much safer to be travelling on a plane than say on the road. As the miles per incident is few on an airplane. 4.2. Again,if there are 100 or more person's travelling on the same flight; in theory, 50 percent would be travelling on their auspicious dayswhile 50 percent would be travelling likewhat you are concerned with…

Dear Anon, Thanks for bring up this question. Mr Chetan is a new member to this forum. It is never my intention to propose or publicise as far as possible solutions that involve `paid reports' available in this website. Also Pillars and Five Elements are `more' advanced subjects and is more `difficult' for a new user to digest. It is also good to relook at a relationship not based on Feng Shui as most cases, it is usually communication such as `listening ear' etc.. In my opinion, I believe that Mr Chetan is new, as some users are aware, we have users who `faithfully' login everyday or had read almost all the forum messages. While there are new users. It is difficult to …

Dear Anon, Please see below:- 1. Overall, we are only considering the Year of birth sign of the three persons. 2. In general, under the Year of birth, since the three persons, share the same `birth' sign, it is considered that (very generally again) that their characteristics are considered similar for e.g. a dog is faithful and loyal. 3. Like its `Western cousin' the Zodiac sign, it can filter down to the Month of birth, day of birth and time of birth which may be different for each of the three persons. 4. Another `School' of thought is based on balance. One should not have too many of the same element together. This does not mean that it is no good to have all `do…
