General Help

Dear Anon, For the benefit of new users, NE is called the Devil's Gate while SW is the Devil's Backdoor. On the other hand, NE is also considered the Heaven's gate also. I sincerely believe that the author only generalises the NE and SW. In fact, as I mentioned above, it is also the gate of Heaven. From many personal experiences; especially the NE can be `controlled' i.e. avoiding a large lone tree, large pools of water and any other thing that helps to reduce the Yin forces. Emphasis on Yang elements at this sector. One very neutral thing to do is to keep the location bright. Where possible avoid Metallic wind chimes as this may inadvertenly enhance or attract Yin for…

Dear Eric, South-West sector is suppose to be a location that "encourages" harmony of interpersonal relationships and if at work i.e. teamwork. I am not sure if it can improve or attract love into your life by placing something there e.g. plants (but you can try) -- "no harm". Just wondering

Hi, Reference to right hand drive, can I check if house 1 under the picture is considered as in path of poison arrow? Is T-junction only applicable when its direct 90 degrees head on? Also, if there is a temple house separated by another 2 house, is it ok in terms of fengshui? Thanks!

1. In my opinion, from the top view, it does not look as bad or does not seem to have any issue. Perhaps, the normal view may show some issue or concern which we may not be aware off. 2. Should there be a concern or issue(s); some of the standard cure(s) could be:- 2.1. Gates that perhaps have wooden planks on them such that the block the offending view from "hurting" the main door. 2.2. Tilting door. (Warning... this should be done by an FS expert). 3. Otherwise, a small road is "peanuts" as compared to major issues like a "T" junction etc.... Y S. wrote: Is that a fengshui problem of this house? The front door is facing a very small road in a community. How to solv…

1. Earth element is abundant and is always "there" in every season i.e. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. 2. Roughly, when spring is near it's end, earth element is suppose to be at it's strongest and this cycle appears at the end of summer, autumn etc.. 3. Although #2 is considered as the future prosperity, in a proper Flying star chart, all three variables need to be considered i.e. Mountain, Water and Base star. 4. Flying star Feng Shui is based on time dimensions. And while realistically, we can only analyse sectors in general for the next 20 years "average". There are so called: Yearly, Monthly, Daily, Hourly stars. Thus a sector may suddenly find itself with #2 …

Hello, Is the building across and to the left of my apartment a poison arrow? Or is it ok because the arrow is not directly facing me? If it is a poison arrow, could you please tell me how I can protect my home? Thank you,

Dear Anon, The convent is considered a Yin location where e.g. a `depository' such as problems etc... This would account for some like yourself who has a dislike for the facing direction. You can for e.g. have a barrier e.g. fencing with plants to shield your home from the view of the convent. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, 1. Attached please find an illustration of how one can use a protractor to find the main entrance door. 2. A protractor can either be a 360 degrees one as shown in the attached. Or even a 180 degrees protractor is still possible to use. 3. In my opinion, a protractor similar to the one in the picture can easily be purchased in a book or stationery store. And such a protractor costs between US$1 to US$4 or less. Warmest Regards, Cecil

The 2 garage doors and driveway of this house face NE and the main street. However, the main entrance (front door) is on the side of the building, and faces S. Which is the direction of this house, NE or S?

Dear Betty, Under the Eight Aspirations or Life Associations where each trigram is associated with an aspect of life. Here are the significance of each trigram and their direction: North - Career South - Fame East - Health West - Children North East - Education North West - Helfpul patrons South East - Wealth South West - Romance / Marriage Therefore, to answer your question, Health is neither at West or North but at the East. The above is based on the Later (last) Heaven Sequence. 1. We cannot `compare' this theory with the Shapes and Form School where the Shapes and Form can be applied to every location. The Eight Aspirations is considered too general to be applied to e…

Flying Star and facing direction....

Hi, Thanks for bringing up a refreshingly new question. In general i.e on a macro level, overall, hospitals are considered a YIN location. Frankly, all of us (doctors & nurses included) have reasonable levels of personal AURA to defend ourselves from YIN elements. 1. Nurses and physicians are in constant motion, generating active Qi. 2. Patients fall into several categories: - Some patients are frail and weak, and these individuals tend to have more YIN. - The majority of patients are in the process of recovery, and in certain hospitals, there are different classes. Some of the higher classes offer TVs or rooms shared by four people, each with …

Hi, I had written this short article in the past: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/pakua.htm 1. We are trying to romanized all words used in the website and the correct term for Pakua is Ba Gua. (Pakua is a Hokkien term - a dialect of the Chinese). 2. Please do not be mistaken an ordinary mirror with a Ba Gua Mirror. An ordinary mirror is considered `Yin'. Too much of the mirror will create a too yin environment. 3. Please read the above article and you will understand the difference between: The First Heaven and Last Heaven Ba Gua and their use. Warmest Regards, Cecil

No, the toilet is not at the centrepoint. The cupboard is. See attached illustration.

Hi Cecil, Thank you for your advice. I will re-consider. Cheers and have a good day.

Hi Master Cecil Lee, I am keen in the project R&F, after you mention that the particular facing I am looking at is okay for buying. However, taking a closer look at the floor plan, as this layout is squarish, however with some slight protrusion here and there. Hence , if I complete the missing edges, I find that by marking a cross at the ends, the centre lies near or at the toilet of one of the bedroom. Is this considered bad , and I should abort buying? Or have I marked wrongly, as it is quite close, it may fall in the bedroom, or at the bedroom toilet. What is your determination of the centre of the house? …

Hello Master, my wife's birth cert (date of birth) has a high probability that it is not accurate due to a lax enforcement 40 years ago in her village at the time. If I want to do a BaZi reading for myself and her to find out our element compatibility, is it still possible? If not, is there another way?

Dear Anon, For serious books on history of Feng Shui i.e. city planning in the past (Chinese cities), you can check out the few books written by Dr Evelyn Lip (Times Publication). Try to do a search e.g. in the internet book stores such as amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com for the author. For new books on city planning... in relation to FS.. this is, in my opinion, hard to come by. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Steffi, 1. Thanks for bring this interesting question. 2. In fact, I had previously posted some information on this issue. 3. In 1986, when I first developed my Chinese Horoscope site:- http://www.lovesigns.net 4. I was trying to find an appropriate information for the first page of this site. 4.1 I found this quote:- " If we want to be loved we must disclose ourselves to the other person. If we want to love someone they must permit us to know them. " Dr. Sidney M. Jourard 4.2 When young many of us have either being told or discovered our personal English zodiac signs. E.g. Gemini, Libra, Cancer etc... And there were (are) untold number of such books describing our c…

Dear Danni, Is there a cure for sick houses? 1. It depends. (On how extensive the renovation is/was). 2. As I do not have a complete picture of how extensive the renovation was against the previous layout, it is difficult to say for sure if there is a cure. 3. In my grandpa's case, there is really no cure; other than to pull it down and rebuilt the home. 4. From your previous description that extensive work was done at ground level... it may seem that way (Para 3) especially if the `head' or profile of the head of the house was `touched' and or became too heavy or disturbed. 5. In my grandpa's example: this is a sterling example that " Flying Star " or " Compass School " …
