General Help

Hi Sir, I would like to purchase a house on the corner. Is the fengshui for this house position is OK? Thank you in advance ?

Frankly this is pretty common, and it depends. In Singapore many estates have such a situation e.g. Siglap hill area, Hume Avenue, Yio Chu Kang, River Valley, Dunearn Road, Holland Rd areas. In fact, just about anywhere. Thus, many factors including how the home was built. In general, you are quite correct to say that earth luck (or poor luck) is usually strongest at the ground level.

Dear Anon, For such items, if not in use should preferably be kept in a storeroom. Under Flying Star Feng Shui, it is best to avoid to avoid a soild object such as the grinding stones at bad earth sectors e.g. #5 or #2. Do not want to inflame these sectors with such a "large boulder". Quote: Anonymous wrote: # I have one of those old style grinding stones - a wok-like solid shape with a hole in the middle, where one puts the grain to be ground with the help of a stone pestle. We no longer use it; we kept it because we planned to use it as a display stand, but for now it's just there because we can't make up our mind what to do with it. Does keeping stones like these …

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I started my new house renovation on 03/05/05 after refering to the Chinese calendar that it is a good date. One should always know that a Chinese Calendar (Tung Shu) as what most people come to call it is generally a date that is good or bad for most people. It does not personalise to each indvidual, so a date might be generall good, but it does not mean it will be particularly good for everyone. Each person has individual suitability so, some people may not be suitable for certain dates. Anonymous wrote: However , things did not seem to go well.

Hi, I have read conflicting things about whether living right next to a roundabout is good or bad for the energy of the home. Some practitioners seem to feel the circular energy is too harsh and confused and others feel it's neutral or even positive. We have the opportunity to purchase a new home on the lot marked with a red arrow. Wondering if we should pick this one or stay away. For reference the street with the roundabout does not have much traffic. For Flying star enthusiasts it is S1 facing period 9 which makes this a 7 star robbery chart. Please advise and TIA for any thoughts!

Dear Marilyn, Marilyn Ong wrote: We love each other very much and there's no problem with our relationship but everything else is going bad. Our house was bulgarized (all my wedding and dowry jewelries were stolen), I miscarried 2x, and although we have good income, it seems that we can't save. There's always something bad happen and we have to spend. Frankly, it sounds more like a house feng shui problem, than anything else. As your relationship is ok, it would seem more like maybe there is just a bad robbery star in your house feng shui or very bad suitability to the house. This also can happen for houses located in an area where there isn't adequate security. If oth…

Dear Master cecil, Thank you for the reply. My house was built in 1956. The main entrance faces the North. How can I calculate #8 and #5 and #3? I went through the site but could not make it. Thank you C

Further to what I had mentioned; 1. House hunting report is just like one module out of the whole Holistic approach to Feng Shui. 2. For example, in accountancy; even accounting softwares have different modules for different needs; and these modules are specialised e.g. Accounts Receivable; Accounts Payable;Inventory, Summary Reports: P & L etc...

A. In my opinion; these are some of the considerations regarding the use of Flying Star: 1. Macro Feng Shui: 1.1 If the entire property needs to place a water position or landscaping works; then drawing a full Flying Star chart of the combined TWO dwellings into one. 2. Micro Feng Shui: 2.1 If you want to map out your interior layout plan; it is more practical to apply it say to your specific dwelling instead of the combined TWO dwellings. The rationale is simple: if you use the combined TWO dwellings; then half the compass areas are no longer within your zone. Thus one may end up with only half the areas like: North, East and SE sectors... While West, NW, SW could belong…

1. Frankly, what you had mentioned; is beyond the scope of this General Advice Forum. 2. Either you have to Do it yourself (DIY) or seek expert help. 3. As for DIY, like everyone else; there are lots of concepts to both digest and make use of. And often, it is an uphill task. 4. Under the Holy Trinity of Luck:- 4.1. Heaven Luck = born with 4.2. Earth Luck = Feng Shui of the home and/or office 4.3. Human or man luck = relationship with family members, family support etc.. 5. Feng Shui is not a cure all. And even within Feng Shui: there are things like Shapes and Forms, Flying Star and even ba zi of bread winners in relation to the home etc... Anonymous wrote: Dear C…

Dear Anon, Feng Shui cannot be done by "remote-control". Here, if one does not stay in a home, there is minimal or no influence at all. One must be staying in that home to have an earth (Feng Shui influence). Thus, if you are staying in your mum's home: 1. May consider the Feng Shui of your mum's home. 2. An alternative? If you have alternative or if it is feasible, sometimes, each home has it's specific Feng Shui "luck". Here, for instance, if your home Feng Shui can be considered as having better Feng Shui for example, such as a change in Period to Period 8 etc... one could (again - if it is feasible) look at both homes to see which is the better one. This is be…

Hi Master, My wife and I are from Malaysia and are interested to purchase a house and we would like to seek your advice on which unit is preferred. Please refer to the attachment below. We would like to seek your advice on the two units marked A and B (in red). Some of our concerns include: 1) Unit B is located in a dead end and whether this is bad for fengshui. However, this road only serves units B and C. 2) Unit B is also facing a power/electricity sub station as marked out in yellow box across the road, whether there is any potential fengshui implication. The area marked in "blue star" is a small playground for the neighbourhood. Our preference is …

Dear Diane, Wow! Actually, it is not so simple as it seems. As, firstly the external environment of the home, also needs to be considered such as any open drains or canal outside, passing thru the home and other external factors. In addition, it is quite difficult to understand the "T" or is it proprotionate etc.. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Diane Price wrote: Could you please advise me on the purchase of a T shaped home? It has had an addition added to the middle of the back of the house. Thanks, Diane

Dear Diana, For Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, it is best if you can provide a sketch of your layout plan. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Gwen Bui, Thank you for your layout plan. Please see below:- Please see attached illustration with the Shape of your house. So far, the Shape looks rectangular. The main concern is the toilet at the frontage of the house. And this is where, you should not make the garage door as your symbolic main entrance door. In my opinion, your two-sided stairway does not seem to pose any major problems since there is a lift landing upstairs. A two-sided stairway is in my opinion, very inauspicious if it is at the frontage of the house. Where, the two sets of steps join /meet together to the main entrance door. Also, from the layout plan, the front side of the stairwa…

Dear Master Lee, Thank you so much for your detail explanation. Robert Lee wrote: You see in our website when we define a house facing East means that main door (for 2nd-7th level) orliving room (8th and up) is actually facing East. I have yet to find out from your website with regards to main door (2nd-7th level) or Living Room (8th and up). i will go thru in details later, just to confirm if the flat i am buying is at 8th level and up, i should be looking at the living room facing but not the main door facing? Hope to hear from you soon and have a nice day.

Dear Robert, Please elaborate on your question, thanks. Cecil

Dear Angela, Angela Le wrote: I have a house, but unfortunately a new house is being built across from mine. I thought about putting a small concrete fence about knee or waist high in front of my yard. However, I can only do it partially because my car garage is in the front. Therefore, what can I do? Should I use a bau qua and if so, how? What about plants and where? I know I can notput a tree in front of the yard because it will block my main door, but should I put one anyway, but just away from the main door? Of course, if you can put a fence to help block the corner, that would be best. If not do what you can with the fence, and probably add a bagua mirror to deflect…

Dear Steven, Generally, it is very common to live in a home where someone has died in the home. Often, if death is due to naturalcauses especially old age, no worries, here. For old homes, it is best to avoid having any of the posessions left by the person who had died e.g. his cupboard or any antique items. Sometimes, we are not sure what kind of items are left behind, if so, when we purchase such a home, try to get "vacant" posession of the home. And not keep such items. For those who can apply or use Flying Star Feng Shui; one way is to avoid an imbalance caused by too many YIN stars in a secto…

Dear Anon, House numbers has more to do with one's preferences or culture. In particular, many Chinese (Cantonese) do not like number number 4 or if a series of number sounds inauspicious. Otherwise, there is no basis in Feng Shui on house numbers. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joan, Frankly, it all boils down to "It depends". Or based on each situation. For those who had studied management principles, it is called " Situational approach". And this principle suggest that no two situations are alike. Thus, sometimes what we read, could be a general statement. Let us not forget that, as I had mentioned previously, more importantly, we should not only look at the four inner walls of a home but rather, the biggest influence is the environment. In many of my past messages, I had mentioned; that Shapes and Forms prevail: External vs internal, SWOT analysis i.e. S.W.O.T refers to Strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats to a specific locatio…
