General Help

Hi Master, I bought a lot that's irregular on the back where the left side is longer than the right side by 25'. The lot is facing East at front. So the lot is East - West. I read several Feng Shui that states it's bad luck. How could I cure it? Should I plant hedges across to make it rectangular and pretend that longer side is not my land? Or could I plant trees and grasses on that extended part? Please advise. Thanks! J. C.

I've read a lot about it is preferable to have a regular square of rectangular lot. I have not found very much source on larger plots of land though. My question is if my house is on a large irregular(not of any shape) lot (~20 acres) and much of it is not used as you can imagine. Does this affect the energy of my home negatively? Is there a way I can demarcate it so that it seems like the house is one a regular size lot?

Hello, we are thinking of buying this house and restoring it. It’s an irregular shape and one corner of the house is very pointy. Are these things bad feng shui? If so, is there a remedy? If so, do you do virtual consultations for this kind of thing?

Dear Master, I read of the importance of having square or rectangular bedrooms to provide stability and good "Qi" movements. As I am planning to do some renovation works, I am exploring the option to build a partition and 'create' a more separate rectangular bedroom for my sleeping area. However, I am concerned about ventilation and mobility issues if I were to seal up part of my room. Furthermore, Feng Shui is also about functionality and I was wondering if there are other ways to circumvent the problem of the irregular shape of my bedroom. I do have an attached toilet and a small path leading into the room. For easy reference, I have attached a rough sketch of my p…

Dear Janna, Usually, the type of cure will depend on the number and type of # number at a sector. Since the sector already has 7 x 2 (small metal); followed by a #2 (sickness), then one set of 6 coins would be appropriate at the specific sector. Please try to determine exactly where the North is? The door closes to this North --- the six coins placed here. Do try to check whether NE or SW has also any other #2 or #5 within these sectors. If so, and if your other doors falls close to it, and IF these sectors e.g. NE and SW are equally out of balance especially if there are further #2 with any other #5 or #3 or #4 then these sectors are candidate for additional six coins ea…

In this example, born a few days difference from the earlier sample and this person is instead a "Weak Fire" person.

Dear Alice, However, it is best to have a full Feng Shui audit conducted before one knows exactly in what degree is it inauspicious. For example, the way the canal curves is a major consideration. If the canal curves and looks like a `sickle' slicing the house, this is inauspicious. It is difficult for me to fully advise you as one must be physically present to look at the `Shapes and Form' by doing an environmental scanning and using other tools and methods e.g. Flying Star, your suitability, the main entrance in relation to the breadwinner and many other considerations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. As this message was sent anonymous, it does not go into the mailing list and we do not login every day to view the web message. If you do so there will be a protrusion in this sector. Normally, for a house it is not advisable for a house to have protrusion especially in the true cardinal directions (North, South, East, West). Under Feng Shui interpretation, it is best not to have protrusion at the North. You can still use the existing center point. However one caution:- 1. Your Flying Star of the house may change. This is especially if your house is built in the period 6 or less (1983 and below). This means that if you have good star…

Dear Cecil, The flying star chart for the North Sector of my E1, period 7 house is 5 (Mountain) vs 1 (Water). Base star is 3. I know I should avoid bright yellow and green because of 5 and 3. What about a Black Lacquer Screen in this sector, is it ok? Thank you, Hoa

Dear Elena, Today, I would view, the flooring with a `different' view. In my opinion, I view flooring in relation to the Yin and Yang rather than the element of a person. 1. Preference would be for lighter coloured tiles than dark coloured tiles. Especially if the house does not get enough lighting. My view has `differed' in this view point that instead of looking at the elements and relating it to the persons, (5 elements), I go one higher to the Yin and Yang. The rationale is that it is more important to keep the house, `bright' especially the living room. For the bedroom paquet or wooden flooring is acceptable, which makes it dark (for some room) but in fac…

Thank you so much for your valuable advice.

Hi would like your comments on which Aparment block has a better position? Block A , B or C? If D is a playground, can it be considered as a Ming Tang between the 2 converging rivers? [IMG]http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/philture/Mapfrfengshuionrivervista.jpg[/IMG]

Dear Anon, This can be a subjective issue: Do we consider symbolism or mass? 1. Under Symbolism, 6 coins represent Big metal or the largest metal element available. 2. If one consider `mass', as in your 5 inch high statute, it does certainly have mass. If you already have such an object, then, avoid adding the 6 coins. 3. "Strange" as it is, Small metal is represented by the number 7. Thus 7 coins represent Small metal. Here, one will notice that it does not matter if there are less coins: 1 coin fewer for `Big Metal' as compared to `Small metal'. 4. Usually, the problem faced is to cure or neutralise with 6 coins and seldom if ever,we use the 7 coins which is less effec…

Dear Desma, The first thing we need to know is that Feng Shui is about balance. For small objects or items such as a ring, it really does not matter. I usually apply the 33.3 percent ruleset. Where, if the item is not greater than the above either in mass, volume or area, it does not really matter that much. Furthermore, I believe, the sharp corners of the diamond should not pose any problems. A square diamond ring, can be considered of the `Earth' element if we talk interms of its shape and some would consider that it is derived from the earth, it is thus an Earth element. (Square shape represents Earth element). In some other culture perhaps, I am not sure if square dia…

Dear Vincent, Thanks for sharing with us the information about the placement of stoves in Sweden. Yes, infact, I have come across this when a few readers e-mailed me about it quite sometime back. In Feng Shui, we normally try to avoid placing the stove in the middle of the kitchen and this is not practised in China. Most of the stoves are located on a wall. I guess, since this is quite a `standard' in Sweden, it should be ok because Feng Shui taboo is to avoid the stove next to the sink or the refrigerator. In this case if the stove is in the middle, it will definetly not `clash' with the sink. The only other consideration under Traditional Feng Shui practice is th…

A Feng Shui master would normally advise a person (where possible) not to have the toilet facing North or West. This was because in traditional Feng Shui practice, the North faces the cold and if the toilet faces the North, one may get digestive problems. If facing west, one may get `aggitated'. Unfortunately, it may not be possible for you to shift it. perhaps you could in your diet take more `cooling' food. Not cold food but food that relieves heatiness.

Yes, if we consider the global concept of a weak fire person, then; real estate industry is considered as belonging to the earth element. Another varying view-point is that some may say that an agent's main job scope is into marketing or sales or renting out properties; this belong to the fire element. As fire adds to fire then it is considered acceptable. Of course better job scope is of the wood element as it helps fuel fire. Another critical factor in one's ba zi has the ten deities: which include various factors like how much: earned wealth vs luck wealth and othe factors like how much determination and competitiveness in that chart. Other personal factors like an i…

Dear Joe, Please read below:- Suggest you have more wood colors which helps to enhance your weak fire. What is more important, is that the house must first suit the breadwinner, after it meets that. As for the other person, it would no matter so much to that person. However, given the person is a strong water, the person should control his strong water with wood element. Which happens to be the a weak fire. Warmest Regards Robert Lee
