Dear Anon, Frankly, there are quite alot of variations of land forms. And often it is best to use the term "it depends" as often no two situations are unique. This is because, often, in a forum such as this, if I describe a specific land form, and to say that it is inauspcious may not be correct. As some users here, may feel that what was described does not match the current situation. More importantly, much of what you have mentioned has more to do with commonsense approach:- 1. The major clue is the foundation of the site or area. Often, if the entire foundation of the site ie. your plot of land, your neighbourshave a solid foundation, even if there is a slope be…

Thank You, Mr Lee for your reply. You are most helpful and yes can understand what you mean.

But, often, one way of looking at is is a walk-thru of the neighbourhood. Such as climbing up the stairs to the unit. In many instances, both the exterior an interior should often "match". For example, if the exteriorof the home, after the upgrading looks prestine or new, but if one's interior is pretty old (worn-out) etc.. Clues can come from the toilet(s), the kitchen and the liv…

Dear Anon, 1. Where possible, try to obtain `old' Chinese coins. It is plentiful as it is now being produced commercially (replicas) all over the world. 2. Where best, traditional Feng Shui uses these `old' coins. 3. In Singapore, our new batch of $1 coins have a trigram profile and I recently used it in my home `to test' it out. It so happens that the `Sickness' sector was right at my bedroom window. I use the Chinese Red Packet (Envelope in Red colour) and used `good quality' 3M scotch tape to tape the coins (two rows x 3 coins) and pasted it on to the Red Packet. So far, I find that it is working. This is because, I had some minor `illness' before this and now, feeling…

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, ideally, one should not use a large cactus to neutralize the sha qi. 2. A large (indoor) plant would be a better alternative. It can also be an artificial plant. Also, on a "commonsense" approach, it would not be ideal to place a large cactus plant in a shopping complex or office as someone may accidently brush against it or their bags etc.. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- This is the same concept as a full height screen. Some practioners would advise the use of a wind chime in between the two doors. However, one should get proper consultations before placing a wind chime. (Especially if one is placing at the NE, NW and West) locations of the house. A hanging mobile or crystal is not advised. This is because in my opinion, I personally see no rationale for the use of a crystal or a hanging mobile. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Aloha, I have been reading your web site for over a year. Thank you for all you do to help us understand the fundamentals of feng shui. I hope my request is general enough to help many people. You stated there are many ways to change to period 8 without much hacking. Could you explain. We have a new home. West 2/3 . We could re orient to N/w1, or 2/3. I have been told and read of problems with the 7's in the flying star chart during period 8. We do not have the money for an open roof remodel as I have read is needed. Any help is appreciated.

Dear Anon, 1. A recent message has provided the colours for all the various elements. Reference url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/colours.htm 2. Overall, one must remember that colours is secondary to Feng Shui. 3. Although it is quite important, but I have to emphasise that it is second to other more important points. For example, if one's house has a toilet at the centre of the house. The most likely effect is a drain in finances or problems with `retaining money.' 4. Other bad Feng Shui include a poison arrow aimed at the main entrance of the house. 5. More scary ones include the description of recent house where death will occur twice (I believe this is shown under th…

Dear Julie, Frankly, there are two considerations here:- 1. Mirrors at staircase landings need not necessarily be bad. One school of thought here is that a mirror at this location can help to `move' Qi up or down the stairs. 2. Another consideration is that a mirror at the wrong wall or sector can bounce back twice the bad luck. Undera Para 2, if one is not sure, one should not place a mirror on the stair-case landing. 3. In your question, you mentioned that a mirror is facing the stairs, frankly, this is more of a "commonsense approach". Or we can say that this is more of a commonsense type of `Feng Shui'. 3.1 Here, it may become inauspicious because, sometimes we do get…

Dear Emily, You can try to activate metal at this sector. Since this is the living room area, the most effective cure is to activate with a 6-hollow rod metal wind chime.

Prominent Flower of romance can be said to "originate" froma home:- 1. Please take note ofsome of the characteristics of homes that may be affected by such activity:- 1.1. North-west sector of the home: Usually this type of home may have a missing corner at NW or NW is located at the kitchen area. And the rest usually has more to do with the male having an illicit affair. Under Flying star Feng Shui, the tell tale signs are usually the presence of #3 star at this sector. 1.2 South-West sector Again, it can be a missing corner or the arrival of #3 at that sector. 2. Having two or more stoves Having one stove at say the dry and another at the wet kitchen. And have a…

Dear Anon, Ideally, as you have correctly mentioned, the dead tree should be removed. However, I can certainly sympathise with your plight. The dead tree creates quite a yin imbalance. As I do not know more of your personal information, you can try to use metal above the window to neutralise the `dead tree'. Here what you can do is:- 1. Get hold of a red packet or ang pow packet. If you do not have one, a red rectangular paper (approximately around 130mm by 65 to 70 mm) and place six coins (you can use scotch tape to tape the coins 3 coins each side (flat) on the paper. Hang it at the mid-point above the window. 2. The Big metal of 6 coins is used to destroy the wood el…

Dear Trini, Do try to check the influences especially at the bedroom. Where possible this is an auspicious location. There is not much that can be analysed using the Eight House Theory other than if the death or disaster line falls at the main entrance, keep the location `bright' and avoid leaving the door open unless you are using it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- 2. A stationary metal cure e.g. 6-coins in cases where there are a combination of bad wood plus bad earth (especially #5) may not be enough. 3. An alternative is to place the 6-coins into a glass jar (the size of a jam jar) and add a spoonful of salt. Water is filled to between 1/3 to 1/2 (of the jam jar) or covering the surface of all the 6-coins. This is one way to activate a constant flow of metal. 4. Frankly, no one can tell exactly which is better i.e. a clock pendulum or a music pendulum. As it varies with the manufacturer and size of the object. 5. A simple test is by-the-ear. So long as one can hear a distinct `tick-tock' sound in…

Only certain types of paintings you need to be extra careful:- 1)Like fierece looking creatures, then you may have some issues one where you place them. 2) Or mountain scenery type of pictures, may be better to place in where you need to activate the mountain star. 3) Or family photos, which shoulddisplayed in the privacy of your own study room or hallway for example.

Dear Gabi, All of us have taken an examination or examination(s) in our life. And usually we find some teachers teaching us some "techniques" in how to approach certain types of questions. For example, one of the most common type of examinations (school examinations) is: that we are given a time limit i.e. to try to answer 5 questions say out of 10 questions given. Many of our teachers will ask us to allocate a specific time for each of the questions. Thus if we were told to answer this exam paper within 2 1/2 hours and need to (compulsory) answer 5 questions then we should try to allocate 30 minutes each. And the logical way is to try to answer all 5 questions giv…

Frankly, I really don't quite get your question. But if a toilet is directly above a bedroom; then best to locate where is the sewerage pipe (and it's ancillary pipes). The best one can do is not to sleep directly below this piping (usually covered by a gypsum board. And also avoid sleeping next to the piping or if it is running below the bed; bed it. Otherwise, there is no miracle cure: i.e. either it is there or it is not there: On or off. (full stop).

Dear Anon, There are two ways to `decide' whether one should place a decorative mirror. 1. If one does not want to have anything to do with Feng Shui or Feng Shui advise. Then go with one's own feeling. In addition, if there are no effects on one after the lacement of the mirror i.e. hanging on the wall or using a glass/mirror table, then continue to do so. 2. But if one wants to find out further, do an analysis using tools like the Eight House to check the suitablity of the breadwinner's intangible force at that sector. Use the Flying Star to check whether the location is auspicious or not. Where possible if the wall (location) is inauspicious, avoid placing the mirror …

Dear Merian, Is it possible for you to place a small cabinet or cupboard such as a short linen cabinet of say 4 to 6 drawers at the foot of the bed? Alternatively, if you have a partition, this would also do. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The common "cure" is to place a red circular "dot" (e.g. using a permanent marker, or a circular red sticker the size of a hole-pucher hole or the use ofa "girls" reddish nail varnish. Just simply place the "dot" on the key hole area or just above the keyhole of the doorknob. Place the same "dot" exactly on the same area of the other door. Here, symbolically, the RED dot is like an "eye". And it goes " we look eye to eye with each other Anonymous wrote: the 2 bedroom doors of my apartment are facing each other what can i do with this?

You wrote: "May I please have your opinion about this house floor plan? Is it good place to live? If changes can be made, what would you change? Thank you very much in advance." My comments are as follows:- 1.1 You asked "Is it good place to live?" 1.2 Frankly, just attach a layout plan and without even considering the external shapes and forms: External enviornment; Site and building; together; how can one give such an opinion? 1.3. Any opinion can only be given on based on GENERAL information of roughly the layout plan - that's all. 1.4. For example, the Compass School of Feng Shui also needs to be taken into consideration. 1.5. It starts from even as "lo…

These are some considerations: 1. What you mentioned is only a part of the Feng Shui theory. 2. Under Compass School of Feng Shui; one must consider both the Eight House (which you briefly) mentioned but left out the Flying Star Feng Shui. 3. Another major concept is: " The forms (Shapes and Forms) shapes the stars and the stars determine the fate". 4. Even anurse is trained to obtain as much information on behalf of the doctor before; the patient sees the doctor: Feng Shui Triage 5. For example, without understanding the Shapes and Forms of that home and to a certain extend the Flying Star and even Ba Zi of a person; "there is limited information" to deduce how bad or ho…
