Dear Joselyn, 1. Can understand your concern. It is very common even locally in Singapore for families to move their stove to the back of the home. But do take note of the following situations: 1.1 If possible for married couples, avoid having two stoves i.e. one in the back yard area and other stove in the "dry kitchen". 1.2 If there are two stoves installed, try to make sure that all (burners) hobs or burners add together totals = even number. Thus if the backyard stove has say 3 (burners) hobs, then the dry kitchen should preferably have 3 hobs and the combined total no. of (burners) hobs = 6. 1.3 Those induction stoves are not counted or should not be counted. Thu…

Dear Marie, If you have Chinese guests, it would be a nice gesture if the host can wear Red. As this is considered a very auspicious colour for this occassion. If you country allows the use of fire crackers, this is a tradition, we Chinese use to ward off evil and usher in the new year. Furthermore, the pathway will be pathed with the remains of red paper (belonging to the fire crackers). If u are not allowed to do so, please don't do so. If you have give exchange, never, never, give a wall clock as a gift. This is very bad luck! If you have Chinese guests, try to find some lovely Chinese music. Otherwise, some soothing music would create a warmth atmosphere. …

Dear Anon, There are two key issues here: 1. One should activate the `Water star' in the living room. Here, low furnitures or uncluttered furntiure helps. 2. Chinese antique furniture If it is an antique furniture, where possible check the history of furniture piece. I understand that it is quite difficult here. But old furniture had in the past absorbed Qi from its surroundings. Too many `antique' furniture is said to result in or some Feng shui practioners felt that it would result in "conservative thinking." 3. Similiarly, a house should be proportionate in size i.e. the living room must not be too large in relation to other rooms. In the opinion of some Feng Shui Mas…

Dear Anon, This is an interesting question. 1. Chinese have many Gods. Many of the `first' class Gods are often placed (if one notice carefully to `guard' the main entrance). Gods such as Goddess of Mercy etc.. are usually placed overlooking the frontage of the house. 2. Since the `kitchen' is usually behind the house, some Chinese also felt the need to protect the back of the house. Here, one can than better understand why the advice is always to have the `first class' Gods face a window or the main entrance door. Usually in the living room when one faces the windows, it most likely is the frontage of the house. Hope this helps to better understand the rationale for pl…

Dear Anon, The main consideration - especially on the placement of the main door is to look at the plot of land. For example, if the land is not flat but there is some sort of hill behind the plot of land, the main entrance must not be placed at the back or facing the hill. This is an important consideration.

My apt is: Blk 101-17-4, year building was built estimated in 1999/2000. The '81 Interpretation' analysis stated as 5 + 1 = illness & sickness. How does the 81 interpretation arrived at such analysis. So far for the 4 years of staying in my apt, there has been no major illnesses for me & my husband. No doubt, my daughter would experience minor sickness which is common for all small children. I keyed in '17-04' as the flat no.Did I key in the correct flat no.? Would really appreciate your expert input on this matter. Frankly, the …

1. The best approach is to apply Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui (Flying Star). 2. Thus, if the person who has told you that your swimming pool is located in an inauspicious location and due to their review as mentioned under Para 1, then, the best way is to draw up a Flying Star chart to analyse the sector's Flying Star numbers atthe swimming pool. Here, you may derive the cure after the assement is done.

Dear Wilson, Wilson Chan wrote: I have only recently taken up Feng Shui as an interest. It occurs to me that, in southern Australia, it's common sense to have the living areas facing North to receive the warmth of the Sun; in opposite to countries like China. So how should I interpret Feng Shui when it comes to positions/direction? There are many discussions on this issue. However, from our experiences, we find that you should not need to reverse the feng shui concept for the Southern countries. Just apply the concept as it is. We have done numerous analysis for the South and find that there is no need to make any changes or modification to the feng shui theories or con…

Dear Emma, 1. An alternative to using a screen in the room between the bed and the bathroom door is to place a side table. On the side table, place a side table lamp. Those with one bulb and with a lamp shade. This is symbolic of having a screen between the bed and the bathroom door. 2. It is also good to do an Eight House Chart to see what intangible force is at the bedroom sector. 3. From day 1 of this site and forum, we do not believe in using the `fixed template' format i.e. relationship corner at the SW sector. This includes Black Hat Sect *BTB* or the Eight Aspirations/Associations concept. I personally view the Eight Aspirations/Associations concept, "kindergarten…

Dear Fraser, 1. Thanks for your acute observations:) 2. Usually, the Grand Duke is used in a "wider area" e.g. in terms of a country or a county or state. Under this situation, one can realise that every degree makes a difference. For example one county can differ from another by just a few degrees. With this understanding, one can understand why we talk about lesser North East, lesser North West etc... 3. You correctly pointed out that in a home, it is hard to `imagine' that the grand duke is confined to only 67.5 degrees as an example and why not 70 degrees. 4. A good way to understand this is to imagine that closer the centrepoint, the compass directions gets closer to…

Dear Sandi, Generally, there are three ways of looking at the issue: 1. The Flying Star Theory a. Location of Water star (in general) Under this situation, the water fountain should be placed in locations such as the living room (where it is generally) low lying area. Similarly, the clear space in front of the frontage of the house are good locations. b. Using the mathematical model of the Flying Star to check for balance or imbalances. Usually, the imbalances are related to the sickness (2 star) and misfortune (5) star and the cure is related to avoiding earth or the use of big metal to neutralise it. Here, usually, water do not `create' that much problem unless it is ov…

Dear Anon, 1. Essentially, Qi force cannot be examined with the naked eye. So far, no one could really map out or see the flow of `Sha' Qi from a slopping ceiling. It is not like a wind tunnel experiment etc... 2. I have ever come across, some innovative people in Hong Kong, who had created a Qi `detector '. Frankly, I have never tried it so cannot comment further. If anyone has come across it and tried it, do let us know. 3. One logic of having a screen or false ceiling is that it essentially distributes the `weight' or `force' (if I can call Sha Qi as a `force'). Similarly, perhaps it could work with water as in a fish tank because water is level and essentially, Qi may…

Dear Carina, 1. There are various interpretation of `wealth corner'. 2. If one properly `practices' or if one is fortunate enough, with or without Feng Shui e.g. a good home with shapes and form and the house happens to suit the person, this far outweighs `soley' concentrating on just one corner. 3. Sometimes, doing so may do more `harm' than good. For example, if the corner is (suppose to be left alone), and if one places a plant that this sector where, there is an imbalance of a particular element. The plant may `unwittingly' be the productive help for the `rogue element' and further increase it's strength. There is indeed a possibilty here because we are talking abou…

Dear Marti, 1. In my opinion, this is a minor or a non-issue especially for hornet bees. 2. From my own personal experience, when I was young, I can reminicent, staying in a compound especially where the fencing has `plants' with flowers growing on them, I could recall, these hornet bees had something like a yellow ring. 3. And often they would come close to the flowers on the fence. Perhaps, this is where they do polinate the plants. Sometimes, they do buzz close to my ears but I have never seen them `attack' myself or anyone. 4. Frankly, today, sometimes when one fly past my garden, I would simply stand there and listen to them. They have never created any problems. …

Dear Anon, Since Grand Duke resides at the West, this year, best not to as you had mentioned not to antagonise the Grand Duke, here. Majority of normal homes don't often use "red dragons" to guard the home. Using dragons to guard the home is thus not common place. Best to avoid placing one at the West entrance. In terms of which elements to use at a specific sector, it is best to use the Flying star numbers to deduce whether a sector can or cannot use red rather than assume that because West = metal = white = tiger, then red = fire to be used here to control metal. Frankly, not too good a method to use. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Elena, The two small windows above the bed should not be an issue as it allows ventilation or proper circulation in the rooms. The main `impact' is when it is the actual windows and where possible here, do not have the headrest lean against the window. This factor is morre important consideration. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Does a block number of a flat/apartment have any significance in feng shui audit? The feng shui luck comes from the house interior and exterior surrounding layout. So the location of where the block is located and how it faces is more important than the unit number or apartment number. So you should focused a good layout or good surrounding rather than just the number. You should only consider the unit number only after you have made sure the house and surrounding are good. ie if there is two units of the same layout and facing direction, but one on higher or lower floor. Then you can check which unit number is better. Otherwise, block or ap…
