Dear Karen, The problem with auspicious and inauspicious number is that there are many many different ways at looking at it. For example, 4 in cantonese sounds like Die, but 4 is used in like 4 leave clover to represent good luck. So auspicious numbers to different people may mean differently. Some people like 4 others hate it. It is really subjective. In terms of feng shui one way of checking if any large number is good or not is to convert it to a single digit. ie 39 = 3+9 = 12 = 1+2 = 3. If 3 is an auspicious gua number for you, then it should be fine. ie 44 = 4+4 = 8. If 8 is an auspicious gua number for you, then it is fine. Or it represents the current flyin…

Dear Cassendra, The important thing about bed placement is that you should try to place the bed in a position if possible as shown in this link:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-bedroom.htm It is very common when you apply the sleep position that you are both exact opposite (ie what is good for you isn't good for the other). So the only thing you do is to check out the eight house to see which side of the bed you should be sleeping. (ie North side which is closer to the left side of the bed is disaster, while North-East closer to the right side of the bed is health. Then you should opt for the right side of the bed.) This way each of you get to sleep on …

Dear Sze Nee, The problem with suitability issues from analysis such as Eight House is there is no way to correct the problem unless you decide to change to a more suitable direction. Usually, if you are just an employee, there is very little freedom for you to say choose or correct a direction or even avoid using that direction. So the only thing you can possibly do is to try to improve your luck by ensuring that your ba zi elements are improved. ie if you are a weak wood, then say wearing more Water (blue/black/gray) or Wood (green/brown) will help you improve your luck. This can then help to offset the issues about the unsuitability. So basically, what you can do …

Dear Sophia, Often, the colour scheme of the toilet is a non-issue. Based on commonsense approach, it is good to see how well "lit" the toilets are. Many toilets have small ventilation windows and most are quite "dark" either because they are close to the centrepoint or does not have much direct sunlight most of the time. Given this, *commensense* approach that the toilet should preferably have lighter coloured tiles especially if there are elderly in the home. More important considerations is the location of the toilet. In particular, it is best to avoid the centrepoint of the home. As the toilet has the water element and wrong locations may not be favourable for weal…

Dear Doris, There are several dimensions of Feng Shui or degrees of "understanding" what is good or bad Feng Shui. For example: 1. Enhancing Qi Some Feng Shui actions or activities are to enhance qi or to boost qi in a home. For example such as activating #8 under Flying Star Feng Shui. Where especially #8 has to do with the current water wealth location. 2. Neutralising Sha Qi or Poison arrows There are also imbalances caused e.g. by a pointed roof aimed towards our home e.g. a lone street lamp slicing into our main entrance etc... 3. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui Fortunately, from what I can gather, yours has to do with a toilet above the main entrance door…

From what I read, there are two methods1. The Eight Houses Theory (static) 2. The Flying School Theory (corelated with time, dynamic). The second one seems to take precedence over the first, since it's an extension and more complex, more accurate This article might help: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/fst/fst-8h-intro.htm You have to set your priorities and make your choices. In fact, all in life is about choices Best wishes Doris - a Feng Shui reader

Dear Sophia, Please see below:- It is more a concern than reality. Since the fridge is not known to emit any dangerous radiation or microwave. The only concern is with some fridge *touchwood* is the "heat" .... But given that there isasolid wall between the bed-head and the opposite side fridge, there is no issue, here. The worse "senario" is perhaps a neighbour of the same floor level hanging a (railway station, type of wall clock) facing our unit. Symbolically, the Chinese does not like to "give" a clock to others... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angie, There are two sides of the coin to this:- 1. Generally, from a hobbist point of view, many things can affect the lifespan of fishes: such as the ph-level, water content, age of goldfish(es). 2. From a Feng Shui point-of-view, often, this is a blessing in disguise: as such deaths often are said to be 'sacrificial' to our own well-being. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Adeline, The best approach is breakdown luck into three categories: 1. Heaven Luck (what we are suppose to be born with) 2. Earth Luck (our home /office environment) 3. Human (Man) Luck (our relationship with each other) Commonly known as "the Holy Trinity of Luck". Each type of luck can either help boost or remain unchanged or degenerate depending on specifics. Our home/office (earth luck)usually can make alot of difference in wealth retention. However, for Man Luck, such as a person's ambition or non-ambition, this is difficult to change .. especially one's character. For example, there are many who continue to work for others but can be at a lost or find it…

Dear Chee Kiong, I won't know what theories or concepts other geomancer may have used as such not able to common on their analysis. Some geomancers uses Chinese Astrology, some use I-Ching, some use Ba Zi etc. Even those who use Ba Zi, a simple ba zi analysis can take your Year of Birth element, the more detailed one can take Day of Birth. Also how detail you analyse will also make an impact to what recommendations they will make. As such, so far from my experience, you can go to different geomancers, and there will different analysis results that may come out all depends on how information has been analysed. The only thing I can tell you here is that at Geomancy.net, …

Dear Terri, In terms of selling a house, there is very little you can do using Feng Shui except to make the house look nice and clean and make a list of what are the benefits (ie near MRT etc). The only thing you can use Feng Shui if there are any good benefits based on feng shui to add value. Otherwise, nothing much you can really do. The other area which you can attempt to improve the luck is individually. ie based on your ba zi, ie a strong water person, so for example. You can try to wear more favourable colours ie Wood (green/brown). Improving your own personal luck may help a little. But ultimately still depends on your house location and factors. More than Feng S…

Dear Benji, This has been question that has been posted time and time again. 1. When you take the entrance of the office from the main building entrance, you are actually taking performing a feng shui audit for the entire building itself. 2. When you take entrance of the individual office entrance, then you are actually performing an analysis of the individual office unit within the building itself. So when analysing an Office / Shop, you should take the reading from the office entrance or shop entrance. Remember, that Flying Star can be applied on a Macro or Micro level. So the frontage you choose will determine the scope of the analysis. Hope that helps. Warmest…

Dear Cindy, Frankly, I hope u don't mind me saying; but it would be better for you to get expert help instead of grasping with so many "puzzles." Often, the major consideration is to check the layout plan of the home to see if it is better (or not) to fly to the new period. For example, for a Period 7 SW 2 apartment, the current prosperity water star is located at South compass direction while the mountain star is located at West. While under Period 8, the water wealth location flies to the NE sector. And the mountain star remains at SW sector.Does this match your layout plan i.e. is your living room at NE? or as a result of flying to P8,the water star 8 could be dro…

Dear Analia, Yes, that is absolutely correct Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Since it is a non-religious item (more towards decorative item), a simple "throw-away" would be acceptable. If you have a big plastic bag, simply place it into the bag, tie it up and throw it away. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Unfortunately, Eight House analysis helps define suitability issues. It is very difficult to correct a suitability issue. I mean if a house facing does not fit you, the only way you can correct it is to move out to another house which fits you or make correcting to the location of the door. So in such situations, you do not really have much choice of correcting this one flaw. That is why it is important that when you first obtain the house, these issues should be checked first. Issues like flying star problems can be corrected, but not suitability of the house to you. 2. However, you do not need to worryso much as Spook or Irritation are not as bad as Dea…

Dear Mir, Actually this is not Feng Shui. In Singapore, or more commonly, it is placed facing an entrance. For example, in many Chinese (local) homes in Singapore, it is placed on the opposite wall facing the main entrance. Perhaps, this is psychological as once one steps into the home; one is "immedately" greeted by a smiling "face". In Singapore, most Chinese business do not place a laughing buddha in their business whether be it facing the main entrance or otherwise. In Singapore, some Chinese businessman would instead place a "Guan Kong" (rather than a laughing buddha) with the hope of securing more business. Thus, in my opinion, it does not matter whether the …

Dear Michael, Yes, Eight House can be applied in the in bedroom where you sleep. This is where the Sleep Position or Bed position report in our Members Area come in. http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/perlist-sleep-position.htm ie. Sleeping with Head North and Foot facing South, if your North isLongevity direction for example. However, you should always remember, that the general shapes and form placement of the bed holds a greater priority over Sleep position. So only apply this when there are other bedroom alternative that comply with the shapes and form concepts. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee - GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui R…
