Dear Anon, For fishes, more importantly is the number of fishes kept. Here, there are three common methods:- 1. Based on one's Gua number or or 2. The element of the breadwinner. Here each element has a number. or 3. Some prefer 8 or 9 fishes. Another important point is to avoid using pyramid shaped fish tank. Some of the koi species have red and black markings. These are acceptable. Here, one can add a few other species such as `Tancho' e.g. with a circular patch on its forehead... In my opinion, the red and black markings is no issue.

Dear Anon, 1. As the main door is `inauspicious' to your Kua, it is acceptable for the FS practitioner to place the Ba Gua mirror above the door. Furthermore, the NE is the devil's gate and some practitioner would recommend placing it at the specific location. Unless one tilts the door to a more advantages direction. 2. Perhaps, you can explore, whether it would be good to tilt the door. Here, if it is done correctly will: - Change the door to an auspicious or less auspicious sector - Tilt the door away from the devil's gate at NE. However, I must caution that the method under Para 2, should be done with the advise of a competent FS practitioner. And not DIY yourself. 3.…

Dear Anon, 1. For coins such as those where we should step on e.g. 3 coins at the main entrance. Where stepping on the coins is like stepping on `gold'. For the above, it can be buried under a floor tile or place underneath a rug/carpet etc.. 2. For coins used as a `cure', it is my opinion and I believe the opinion of many FS practioners that it should be displayed and not hidden discretely. If you ask some practioners, they may say that you can hide it. It is my honest opinion and my recommendation, that it should not be hidden. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tom, 1. From what I understand, rubber trees was originally imported into Singapore botanic gardens. 2. Later on, because of the significance of latex, rubber trees were grown particularly in West Malaysia where the sap is `milked' and carefully made into latex sheets. These sheets are very smelly. 3. When I was young, I remembered my grandparent (mother's side) own a rubber plantation and I particularly liked `playing' with the seeds.. where, one rubs it on a surface e.g. tile and it heats up and feels warm to the touch. 4. Rubber trees can grow particularly tall and I believe what you mentioned is only a plant. If it is planted in a pot, the tree would not grow lar…

It should be based on the real direction one is facing. Please see attached illustration. Did you notice the work table? This person's best work directions are: South and East. (SE and North) are acceptable directions. Thususe a compass and check where is the north compass point. And then best to sit facing the good direction as shown in the example for an East group person. Anonymous wrote: I am bit confused on deciding on the best work position. Should I take my office as the entrance per Bagua or it has to be based on the real direction it is being faced?

Dear Anon, In the past, concern was more for the measurements based on the Feng Shui ruler. For example, it was found that the imperial foot or more commonly the size of the briefcase was an auspicious measurement which was considered good for placing documents. Although colors has meanings e.g. Red is considered auspicious etc... what you had mentioned e.g. may in someways taken based on Life Associations concept i.e. fixed templates, in my opinion, what you had mentioned goes more towards commercialisation than anything else. Thus, personally, I would not use the information based on the article. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Small plants should generally be treated as part of the interior decor. For larger plants etc... it is good to look at each sector under the Flying star Feng Shui. For example, if the location has say an auspicious #8 either mountain star or water star or both; it is not favourable to place large plants at these sectors. Since wood (imagine it's roots crushing into the earth) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Is aperson with weak woodself element be good in insurance industry ? Anonymous wrote: insurance and secretarial work is more favorable to which elements (wood, water, fire, metal or earth?) Insurance is the art of selling financial protection. Generally, is a financial adviser. So it has to do with sales (fire) and Metal (finance). As a weak wood, fire may exhaust your wood making it weaker while metal also destroy your wood. So not the most favourable element. Secretarial work is more Earth as it deals with listening to your boss. As a weak Wood, earth is your wealth. However, you will need to have more water/wood to strengthen your …

Dear Anon, Frankly, there is no hard-and-fast rule, here. So long as the object is still in good or reasonable condition, they can always be reused at another location. No issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Karen, I believe that water leaks should be the pumbing of the house and not related to `omens'. Frankly, for now it is difficult to associate leaks with `Feng Shui.' It is best to have the pumbing fixed as soon as possible. For accessing the home, it is preferred that one uses the Flying Star theory to check for imbalances. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carol, Please see below:- A warm welcome to you:) The application of Feng Shui depends on the following:- 1. Ranking and priorities. For example doors facing each other is `secondary importance.' Same goes for a rotating fan. 2. If one wants to apply Feng Shui, it is not a `direct' application. 3. It also does not involve only one concept or theory. But a multitude of theories and concept such as: 3.1 Shapes and Form. 3.2 Compass Schools - Eight house and Flying Star. 3.3 Pillars of Destiny (element and its strength). 4. Many people believe that `Fast Food' Feng Shui is the way to go. They go buy a few books on Feng Shui. Not only do they buy the books, they …

Dear Olivia, I have sketched out the basic good designs on the wall behind the head-board. Generally, the worst kind of head board is in the shape of "tomb-stones" & "circle" shapes. Quite similiar to the attachment - inauspicious wall facade design. Please click on the attachment.

In my opinion, logically, one cannot turn back the clock nor change the house / apartment number. For example, take Para 3. (see below).

Dear Kaushal, Yes, money plant can cling on walls and can be considered as a `vine' plant. It can equally grow well on a bed of ground. Plants, if they are not left to grow wildly are always considered `acceptable'. But if it were to grow within the house, try not to allow it to grow up the wall. For the external wall, it can still be grown but do not allow it to `over grow' uncontrolled. If one has an area where you want to grow it, in my opinion, this is fine. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, No, one should avoid activating the mountain star at the front or at the main door. The point here to remember that activating a mountain star at the main door, the front or the living room is like `placing' a moutain at our `eyes'. We have to remember that the frontage is best to have clear space or a bird flying freely. The same concept applies in our living room. The mountain star (if there is one) is to activate e.g. inside a wall in a bedroom or at the back door area. The concept of mountain (solid backing) and the water (clear space) in front is what it all means. Warmest Regards, Cecil
