General Help

Just think about this little statement that geomancers always say.. in such a situation:- Geomancer 1; Geomancer 2; let's put it this way, lots of Geomancer says: " WHAT A WASTE! " (full stop) Hope this helps!

Thanks for the explanation Master Lee. I guess the word "destroy" is not apt ?but rather that water "exhausts" fire.

Dear Christine, Please see below:-

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: 9 CARPS IMAGE OK TO HANG ON EAST WALL? Frankly, as long as the picture is auspicious looking, there is really not right or wrong place to hang it. 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.

Under the Flying Star Feng Shui, #9 represents the fire element. And fire inflames #2 (bad - weak - earth) and #5 (bad strong earth) elements. Not exactly the kind of cure one should intend to apply to these two bad earth stars. Maybe, just maybe for #3 (bad wood). In my opinion, therefore, it is not the normal convention to apply 9 coins for #2 and/or #5. However, as Flying Star analysis takes into account the 81 combinations of the Mountain and Water Stars, then in some cases, it may be used.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I have hung an oil painting of 9 koi fishes in our living room. The fishes look active and very alive, except that the background, supposed to be water, is more to the greenish colour. Is this considered inauspicious? It is always hard to comment something which we cannot see. However, most pond water tends to be greenish especially when painted at certain time of the day. Also, if the pond is very deep, the colour of the water (though blue), may seems dark greenish. I guess, there shouldn't be an issue as it is probably the painter trying to make it as realistic as possible. More important is usually the koi fishes. As long as they are fair…

Dear Anon, Each has its advantages and disadvantages. 1. Usually, the 8 pie is easiest to do if one has a protractor or already has a predrawn transparency template done. It's so simple thus to determine the centrepoint and then immediately, sketch/draw the 8 pie on the copy of the layout plan. The 8 pie is also easy especially if the house is odd shpaed, with missing corners or you want to do an analysis which extends outwards of the house. It is also good for circular houses. Many Traditional Feng Shui practitioners like to use this because the numbers, Water, Mountain and Base stars, in my opinion can be neatly written and clearly understood. 2. The 9 equal parts, or …

Dear Allison, 1. Recently, I posted a painting with double 9 fishes. 2. For example, if one look closely at that particular painting, 2 x 9 set of fishes are facing each other. " 9 " represents or sounds like longevity. And thus is considered an auspicious number. 3. Yes, Chinese lanterns: some which you had mentioned either had four sides or there are four round lanterns X 2 on each side is equally acceptable. It would be best to use a `pair' or even numbers and it would not be good to add an extra `fish' unless it is a single piece of painting or drawing/art work. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Cecil, Thanks again for continuing to provide such a great resource. I hope this question is general enough. I've read that a bathroom near an entry door is considered less desirable for feng shui. However, a common use case in some parts of the world is to have a bathroom and laundry room close to a side/back entry to clean up and change clothes in before entering the living areas of the home, e.g. after yard/garden/woodworking/farm/automobile work, or to have easy access to a bathroom while working on these kinds of projects. This prevents mud, leaves, sawdust, engine oil, etc from being tracked into the living areas of the home. How would you bal…

This is another link to some pictures especially of the quarter flower pattern "to hold up the beam" http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=11438&new=

These are some considerations: 1. Water is not necessarily a bad thing if it is permanent as opposed to seasonal. 2. How the home is built and facing would determine whether it has good, bad or neutral Feng Shui. Reference: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=29&mid=11355&new= 3. The major concern is the effects of global warming and the irratic weather behaviour. Hopefully this does not translate to extreme flooding on the property especially if the creek overfills.

Dear Apollo, There are many issues that you will need to check before you can determine what's wrong. Just basing on the animal sign will not be able to tell you anything. ie a. Whether it is your heaven luck entering a bad year b. The house you shift in maybe not suitable c. Or simply have bad house feng shui which adversely impact you, etc. You should make use of the numerous free tools on the website to help determine where is the cause of the problems or leaks. Only when you know what is causing it will it be easy to fix. 2. However, based on what you have provided, since you say after moving to UK, I do presume you actually have a change in house etc. So this is mos…

In my opinion, in general; it should be ok.

Convex mirrors are to deflect poison arrows, In this case an exposed corridor area...

As mentioned based purely on a top-view Shapes and Forms: 1. the service road that is parallel to the condo plot is not an issue. 2.As the plot where you had marked is not threatened by any service or public road. 3.Thefrontage of the condo is unblocked: more good than bad. As there is alarge clear space.Minor issue is that there is no blockages thus shouldit be windy, there is nothing to block the wind blowing strongly towards the face. 4. Plot of land at a corner is subject to another science of Feng Shui. 4.1 Here, one must imagine that rainfall will fall onto the plot of land and often if the DROP at A andC are open drainage, depending on this; some apartment units ma…

Dear Anon, Apologies, as I do not give the idea of spending too much time replying to this question. But I forgot to mentioned an important point. If this is modern practise especially by Western practitioners who may not be too familiar with the Double Happiness symbol, it would be best, at least, if one display the symbol of a heart to (instead display DOUBLE Hearts) i.e. One heart can be placed overlap (half-way) over the other heart. Like the equivalent of the Double Happiness symbol, at least `LOVE' should come in a pair. I wonder, if some unfortunate souls, could have just placed a single heart and symbolically .. imply.. a lonely heart. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mecury, Please read below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Monday, May 31, 1999 5:07 PM Subject: bedroom in between the wall & the headerboard, is that ok? This is not good in anyway, because there is no support for the bed. The bed should be "anchored" to the wall, and not left as an island in the room. sound ridiculous, but it really makes me wonder). I do know of these affecting the Mountain and Water Star. The magentic and sound disturbance does create such influence normally with the inauspicious stars especially. However, without the details it is pretty difficult to tel…
