Dear Susan, Yes, so long as we try our best to follow some of the concepts. Not all concepts will suit our needs. What you are "now" practising is what I called "Commonsense approach" to Feng Shui! This is a natural form with or without Feng Shui! Many of us do very, very well with just commonsense! Many Feng Shui practitioners, visit our homes for just 1 or 2 hours and go off! And we are left to follow sometimes very silly advise! 1. Do not place a TV set facing our bed: In many of the past forum messages, I said this is fine. Do find out more why is this so? 2. School children can have open bookshelves at their desktop level. Again, check out what I had said bas…

If your home is a P8 SE3, South sector has bad stars MS#5 with WS#3 and Base#3. Yes Yin water may be used to control MS#5. For the water you may place some crystals but not wood chips or plants in it. As this may inflame #3.

Hi Anon, Our system uses western date and time of birth as the input parameters. It will convert the western dob into lunar calendar for analysis. You will need to use the western dob to use our analysis. Based on your lunar calendar 21 day, 4th month, 1974, your western dob is either 12 May 1974 or 11 May 1974. Depending on whether you are born on the 1st 4th (Big Moon) month or the 2nd 4th (Small Moon) month. This is because that year has an intercalary lunar month. So there are two 4th months. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Kenny, Kenny Ng wrote: My bed and desk position is facing the bad position and i need to know how do i counter it if i cant move them to other position. The reports said that my both bed and desk have to face SOUTHWEST or NORTHEAST for the best position. I did read some previous posts about this problem and u recommended them to change the color of their room. I am not sure what color must i paint my room to overcome it but i am a STRONG METAL as the reports said and my room is currently light blue. If you cannot change the position of your bed due to the restriction of the room. Then the only way is to attempt to improve your luck by choosing the colour scheme that…

Hi Master Lee, Thankyou for replying and providing some logical explaination. I have another question. So,when living inhigh rise building (such as houses in Hong Kong or Singapore) wheremost of the apartments have their doors in theenclosed area, eg 4 unit facing common area with lifts landing and with bedroom windows facing open space / swimming pools; under such environment, does it mean that qi entering the house through the window is much better than through the door? Thanks, Tim

Dear Edwin, edwin tay wrote: i'm a buddhist and we have a buddhist altar at home. i would like to find out if there is any implications if the buddha statue has suffered defects over time, eg, cracks, discoloration and missing corners. kindly advice. thanks! Generally, any type of statue will suffer from wear and tear. As long as it is not the face, it should be ok to keep it untouch. If it is really in a very bad condition, then you should consider to check with the buddhist monks to see if they recommend to replace it or not. Usually, they will be able to advise you better and also provide the necessary ceremony to help you replace it. Hope that helps. Warmest Regard…

1. In my opinion, yes, usually, in a working environment, many of us feel better if we are not isolated! That is why, open office concept was and still the most commonly thought out layout. 2. Like you have mentioned, having an office in a "crammed" tower and being isolated is never a virtue of any human beings.. other than a "prisoner" or a "hermit". 3. We can draw many comparisons to "well wishing" parents who lived in a landed property. I have encountered many cases where, the parents have a three level apartment: ground floor = living / dining / kitchen and utility; 2nd storey is the master bedroom and often two more smaller bedrooms. And often the 3rd storey is ano…

Dear Anon, 1. More importantly, for a site, it should also have excellent Feng Shui based on Shapes and Form School. For example: 1. Avoid having a drain or water position behind the house. 2. You piece of land in relation to the neigbhour. Is the land lower then the neighbour? Is it on a slope? There are many more issues to be looked into. 2. The eight house theory has its limitation in that it is best used only for finding the house is suitable to the breadwinner (main door) and the various bedrooms that your family members will occupy. 3. More advanced theories such as Flying Star should be used. My suggestion is that if you want a `worry' free house, it is best to get…

Dear Anon, Yes, N1 and S1 charts are nearly identical. With the exception that their Water & Mountain Stars are flipped as shown here:- N1 PERIOD 9 CHART For example North is 8 1 S1 PERIOD 9 CHART While S1, North is flipped as 1 8 instead This is simply the nature of Flying Star charts. Thus a N2 and S2 will share similar traits etc.... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. If you are considering the Eight House Theory, usually, it is used to find whether the house is suitable to the breadwinner. 2. Please check your compass direction. If your house is between Compass degree = O degrees to 22.4 degrees; then the house is considered a North house. If the compass reading is between 22.5 degrees to 45 degrees then, the house is a North East House. 3. The Eight House is only an indication as to whether the house is suitable or not suitable for you. Other considerations is required under the Eight House. Such as whether the bedroom you are sleeping is also an auspicious sector. 4. The `battle' of whether the house is auspicious has…

1. In my opinion, it is at least good to hear that you are "starting" a "new" life. 2. However, whenever possible, I do hope that you do not take too much of the Chinese zodiac signs "too seriously". As I feel that too much reference, digestion of e.g. the characteristics of say a dragon, snake etc.. will make us -to-have auto-suggestion. 3. Frankly, one can never tell that the next "snake" one meets will truly be a "snake!" Maybe there is too much coincidence in your past experience in dealing with people. And broadly, any one of us can fit into easily into any of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. 4. Even in modern Singapore, many people meet each other, be it couples, bus…

1. Yes, fortunately, two things are in place:- 1.1. It is far better in this layout plan i.e. the frontside is not at the rear of the home. This is much better than the frontage facing the "T" junction. 1.2 Yes, the landscaping with young trees does help (alot; tremendously) your plot of land. 1.3 In addition, with your car porch and garage, it is good for these to be at the back of the home. With all the above three considerations, and that the young trees will ultimately mature and grow bigger, this is a plus point. Thus in my opinion, although you have the "T" junction, the above three points 1.1 to 1.3 overweighs this inauspicious "T" junction. Anonymous w…

Dear Aaron, Aaron Neo wrote: Hi , Im quite new to this feng shui stuff . I was wondering if i can use water plants in small containers on rounded shelves on corners of my walls in my bedroom as my bedroom has a column and some wall are protruding thus theres many sharp edges pointing everything . I cant think of any other small land plants to use that wont die fast other than cactus which i think defeats the purpose . I am a Strong Fire so i hope that the water will neutralise it somewhat . Thanks for all help If the column is at least rounded, then it should not be a major problem compared to a sharp corner. Anything that can help break or block the corner will help. …

1.Check to see if it is feasible for the "back" to enjoy goodfrontage? Yes/No?For example,can activity area be at the back. Or it happens to be the kitchen, the linen area, laundry etc..And/or is the Flying Star qi there good to be the facing. 2. Ifyou had explored the back area and found it unsuitable, then, you may have to depend on the frontage. 3. If the garage is fully closed area;and if the qi coming from the frontage is suppose to be good, then,Yes, the qi can bewasted, here. 4. Alternatively, if youstill have frontage such as windows or asecond floor, thentry toopen the windows at this frontage areaas much as possible, if you do not wish to renovate your garage…

Dear Anon, Grateful if you can describe in greater detail as I still not sure what u mean i.e. do you mean that as you enter the main door, there are two walls on each side like a larger main door within the house? Thanks. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The knot symbolises eternal life. It is not uncommon for many Chinese practitioners in my country or in nearby countries to mix `religious' significance of symbols or objects with Feng Shui. As I mentioned, if one `hires' a Feng Shui practitioner deeply rooted in religion, invariably, their religious influence may be `mixed' with Feng Shui. The two most common ones are: 1. Advising their clients to place the Ba Gua mirror on all the houses (to ward off evil). 2. Use of such symbols as the `Eight Lucky' Symbolic Buddha symbols in Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. For those who do not know the history of Buddhism, just to let u know that Buddhism / Buddha b…

Dear Master Lee, Thanks for your clarification. It has been bothering me for the past few years. As a matter of fact, I have moved from Malaysia to HK for work and feeling settled now and have become PR (more than 7 years). Well, I am not sure if it suitable to use the word "emigrate" because the distance is not really far anyway. For the past few years, things have been "so-so" - not really bad, and not extremely good. From time to time, I will think of the statement that person made stating that my "BA ZI" will not "allow" me to stay overseas. I have been working hard and try not to relate any negative stuffs with that "statement" he made. Thanks GOD I found your web an…

Dear Chrissy, Not all 3rd day of each lunar month is bad. And many Chinese do celebrate some of the auspicious events on this day:- For example:- 3rd day of every 1st Lunar month Birthday of a Chinese Toaist God commonly called Sun. Many Toaist celebrate his birthday on this date. 3rd day of every 2nd Lunar month Birthday of the Chinese god of literature. 3rd day of every 3rd Lunar month This is the birthday of the God of the protector of the North 3rd day of every 8th Lunar month Birthday of the Kitchen God deity 3rd day of every 10th Lunar Month Birthday of General Mao Especially in the past, because of the birthday significance of such famous gods (deity or ge…

Dear Anon, A warm welcome to you. If you know how to use a simple graphic program to draw a simple profile of the layout plan, it is best that you post it to the conference: Conference for Attaching layout. Better still if it is a scanned image of your layout plan (not too large) in .jpg or .bmp or .gif format. In this case, I can draw the centrepoint for you and post it to this forum. Thanks in advance. (Else I will try to figure out your description.) If you like you can try out this alternative method:- Step 1: Photocopy an exact layout of your home. Step 2: Paste a copy of the photocopy of the layout plan on a cardboard. Step 3: Cut-out the outline of the house. Step …

Dear Anon, 1. Normally, a water star implies a flat surface. A fish tank need not necessary "comply" with the water star i.e. clear space if it is tall. 2. The usual advise is not to place a fish tank in the bedroom. Here, bedrooms should be more Yin than Yang. However, this depends on the tolerance of individuals. It is like the mirror facing the bed. Some of us may feel uncomfortable while others do not feel anything at all. 3. A mountain star has to be located and cannot be activated at the window location. In my opinion, as the fish tank is most likely to be `tall', it is not necessary the equivalent of a water star in this case. Contrast a true water star e.g. a po…

When I read this message on item 4.2,in which I am quite curius to know as my house is facing west 270 and infront my house there is a big tree in my neighbour area. In fact, it is quite disturbing when I santd my main door. I can see the tree. Anyway, I had placed a mirror pa kua besidt that, is there anything I can do to block the bad chi.Thanks. Warmest Regards, anvp

Dear Jojo, Grateful if you can elaborate further what you mean by wealth stars. This is because traditional Feng Shui do have the mountain and water stars. Mountain star can be activated to improve luck. I can recall many incidents where if the mountain star is activated correctly, can increase the luck element. This site does not discuss on `fixed templates' such as Black Tantric Buddhist or Black Hat Sect or BTB for short. This form of Feng Shui is not recognised by all Traditional FS practioners. The Eight Associations and Eight Aspirations/Life Associations e.g. SW = Romance corner, and North = Career sector; although is an interpetation of each of the 8 Guas or Trig…

Hi, Would like to know if the property at the other side of the curve road, will this be considered bow and arrow? And if there are trees planted along the road, will this poison arrow be nullified? Example the Sunglade property at the Serangoon Ave 2 road which is curved. Please help to advice.
