And what you mean stay facing the entrance door? Remember, that there are lots of general feng shui tips available, but a lot of time most tips does not explain the reasons behind and and often is meant for certain situation. So sometimes these tips only works when a certain suituation arise. Generaly, for water feature under the flying st…

Dear Anon, Please take note that a mountain star must be an immovable object. The globe should not rotate even if it has a `stable' base holder. It is good to `visualise' that ideally it has to be a solid immovable object. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kamariah, Since you are in Malaysia, it is easier for you to find a Feng Shui consultant as I believe there are quite alot in the country. Here, you can get the consultant to provide you a package fee i.e. from helping you to select a plot of land and to do a full Feng Shui audit on the selected unit. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Master Cecil: I again want to thank you for your guidance. You are very professional in your work! Have a great New Year!

Dear Judy, Please see below:- 1. Yes, you have brought up a very interesting question. 2. First of all, Chinese do place importance in phonetic sounds. For example, several years back when China opened up its economy, I believe, there was this Coca Cola advertisement where the interpretation of the words `Coca Cola' was interepreted to mean an inauspicious name. 3. Subsequently, Coca Cola, revised this ad. 4. Chinese language is quite `complex' and a pronunciation can provide as much as say 4 different meanings to a character alone. 5. For the Chinese, usually, there is no issue once an auspicious sounding name has been chosen. 6. In the past where there was no stand…

Dear Anon, 1. Can you elaborate what you mean by `a poison arrow near the main door'. 2. A poison arrow has to be aimed at the door and not just (missed or) near the main door. 3.The best test is to stand at the main door, looking outside. If the poison arrow does not aim at the main door, it no longer becomes a poison arrow. 4. Depending on the angle or type of poison arrows, I have given advise to use a few different alternative methods: - Either a semi-circular carpet radiating outwards of the main door, - Two plants on both sides of the main door (for e.g. a lone lampost slicing the centrepoint of the house). I called this the `Triangle effect.' These are the two comm…

1. Although, if you go for a full ba zi analysis, it will tell significantly your 'traits' and types of career - this is only a general comment. 2. Usually, go for your feel. And in business; much has to do with the business model .... Quote: Anonymous wrote: I am a wood dragon. Born in 30/4/1964. I opened an internet cafe but business is very slow.

Dear Joan, 1. I will post one before the start of the dragon year. 2. Many couples yearn for the dragon year as it is considered (overall) an auspicious sign especially for babies especially for a son. The only `negative' point is that if the birth rate for that year increase, there is greater competition for places especially in schools. Some schools may hold larger classes or more selective. Contrast this to children born in the year of the tiger where usually, there are fewer babies born. The above observation is meant for countries with a high percentage of Chinese population. For example, in Singapore, 70 percent of the population is Chinese. Our birth rate is around…

Dear Anon, 1. In general, a neutral colour for a room is white or nowadays there are paints that have light shades of any other colors. 2. This makes the room bright. 3. Under Feng Shui, there are several methods of finding suitable colors: For example:- 3.1 If the home is large e.g. as large as the white house or other stately mansions, one paint each wing a color based on `Feng Shui' colors like.. blue = North, East = green, West = white or gold.... etc 3.2 More professional methods under Traditional FS is to find out one's element and it's strength. After finding out each person's element and strength, for the bedroom, one can then find a Binding element. If the bindin…

Hi Master, Currently this is my 地主 setup which is quite "bare". As i'm going to shift into new house, my "new" location for the 地主 will be directly facing front door and i'm intended to put beneath such table. I wonder is it ok? Current The table i intended to get. Is there a measurement (width) i need to follow?

Dear Anon, 1. The `squeak' has more to do with `beliefs' than Feng Shui. 2. As for the door that does not close properly or difficult to close, it moves closer to Feng Shui and `commonsense approach'. 3. It is best that such as important thing like the main door not being able to close properly is best fixed as soon as possible. 4. As for commonsense approach, if the door is such that it can easily be opened by a burglar, than fix it fast. 5. In some situations where the Flying Star Analysis recommends that a sector has to be `kept quiet' do invest in a can of " WD40 oil". Warmest Regards, Cecil Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Judith, 1. In my opinion, I feel that if the aloe vera is a `soft' (short) plant. And although it has some thorns, these are equally soft. 2. I personally do have several aloe vera plants and I also do not have an issue. 3. In fact, if they grow well and healthy, this is indeed a very good sign. 4. We can draw a parallel to having a TV set in the bedroom. Many of us grew up at an age where each room in the house has a personal TV set. There is no issue for many of us. This is about tolerance level: How thick is our skin? Some of us thrive on pressure. The key point here is that: we have a short life span on this earth. And, what better way to truly enjoy ourselves w…

Dear Utpal, 1. Although, red can be associated with the `fire' element, this is only one perspective or point of view. 2. Far from this single view or vocab that red = fire; red alternatively also represents auspiciousness for the Chinese. 3. Understanding the Five Elements Concept:- 3.1 Besides what I mentioned under Para 2, everything that is tied in red, therefore is symbolic of `auspiciousness'. 3.2 The Six coins cure and the red string or ribbon: For the six coins cure: Six represents `big metal'. The square hole at the centre of this six coins represents `earth' element. Earth element helps to strengthen metal element. Since the arrangement of six coins represent …

1. Frankly, in many instances, there is no really need to cleanse the figurines. It is like akin to "nice-to-do" and not a "must-do". 2. In addition, the key success factor is often to make sure that whatever we place at our front door if possible should be:- 2.1 well nourished - figurines... not thin or skeletonal look 2.2 It is even better if these figurines have a "happy face". It is akin to the concept of "greeted" by a happy face! Imagine many of us who rear dogs... when the owner comes back... "that kind of feeling".

:These are some of the considerations:- 1. What you mentioned, below comes under another concept. 2. Even under "that concept" mentioned above; rarely anyone follows it - unless one is truly a fanatic of such things. (That concept speaks aabout "being cautious" when travelling ..eg. south.. but in no where does it say you MUST not travel e.g. south) 3. Under the 4 Good and Bad directions; only those who have "screws" loose or the lunatic kind may put the 4 Good and Bad + directions together and come up with such a (looney tunes) idea of LINKING the two together. This is no brain-storm. But rather this is instead a NO-brainer idea. 4. Drawing a parallel to such things; say…

Are you referring to the corner of the bookcase - at an angle (poison arrow) aimed at your bed? Usually,the corner of a bookshelf is made of wood; and the approximate poison arrow is around 2 feet distance. While a full concrete wall would exert a poison arrow of 1 metre distance. Often just move the bookshelf further away if possible.

Dear Daniel, In open living, ideally, (under Feng Shui conditions) there is still some `partitioning'. It may not be a full wall. It can be something like an eating or storage counter separating the cooking area from the living room. In the living room, the act of placing furniture to segregate the living room from other locations is as effective as using walls. Therefore, there is really no issue here. For an `L' shaped room even if it is an open space can effectively be segregated into two whole rectangles. This is a better FS configuration that leaving the house as an `L' shaped. (This is based on Shapes and Form Feng Shui.) Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

Dear Anon, Please read below:- Usually there are two method of looking at this. Firstly you must first determine that the star you are enhancing is a auspicious star. If it is an inauspicious star, then you will be activating it instead. Next, you have to make sure firstly that before you start enhancing that sector the elements are balanced. This means that if there is an inauspicious star destroying the auspicious star, you have to correct it first. After the correction, simply look at the element of the auspicious star, say water, then if the sector has very strong water influence, meaning there is already a metal star in the sector, then my recommedation is to use…

Dear Ken, I've posted two question on the attached file. From the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, your office table looks like `entrapped' at a `dead' end or corner. Frankly, it does not look good especially if you back is unprotected by a narrow stretch of corridor. Warmest Regards, Cecil

It would be better to chart out a Flying Star chart. If so, yes, in general, it may be placed at a MS#9 provided there are no #2 or #5 within that sector. Alternatively, such a light can help to "burn" or neutralise #3.

Dear Jaishree, As you are new to Feng Shui, I quite understand you being anxious to go right down to `make changes'. However, it is good to decide on your approach as to how you can find out about FS: 1. If you are in a real hurry to apply Feng Shui, you should consult a FS consultant to check on your house. 2. In normal situations if you are starting to learn Feng Shui, my advise is to start off with a sound foundation and not approach Feng Shui like visiting a fast food outlet that serves fast food. 3. The easiest for a beginner is to start out with: - Understanding Shapes and Form School. There are quite alot of free resources on this site. Or get yourself a book on it…

Dear Ang, 1. You have a valid point here. Frankly, as far I know, so far no one has studied this area in a large scale before. As it is a `recent' while Chinese Feng Shui has been around for more than 2,000 years. 2. Until someone truly studies this closely, we cannot say for sure how accurate their birthchart are based on Pillars of Destiny. 3. However, if we see the logic behind basic Pillars of Destiny, it uses one's Year, Month, Day and Time chart, most likely:- 3.1. the Year chart is still unchanged because no baby has an incubation period of more than 1 year i.e. unless his/her birth falls near Chinese Lunar New Year (end of one Chinese New Year) towards the new ye…

1. In my opinion, especially in land scarce Singapore or often to maximise the interior layout of the home or apartment; I personallyfind that many of the main doors can open up to90 degrees some can open up to 120 degrees. 2. Thus, if I were to give anrough estimate, at least55 or even 60 percent of all homes in Singapore, have main door that can swing up to 90 degrees only. Thus, thhis is not a crucial factor. 3. I have mentioned in the past that allgovernment flats, have the main door with very auspicious qi openings e.g.the Feng Shui ruler was used to check the openings. Andfor these old flats, even the measurement of the frame and the openings are very auspicious. …
