Dear Sophia, Not many know that in the past, elephants had roamed China and they were very common within the North and South of China. A set of elephants actually represent a "source" of strength. And often, the elephant is decorated with motifs and thus considered as bringing fortune to the family. The elephant is both revered in Thailand (especially the white elephant) as well as is one of the gods of the Indians. It is Ok to have a pairfacing or looking outwards. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jason, For a bedroom, we should look at it from the perspective of: "nice-to-have" or "must-(should)-have". Often, many of our bedrooms are small, and furthermore, there are "restrictions" such as having windows and there is also the bedroom door. Because of all these constraints, there are few if any best positions to place the bed. More importantly, between the two schools: Shapes and Forms or Compass School (Eight house), the most important consideration is based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Here, Shapes and Forms Feng Shui should be considred as "must-should-have". While the eight house concept would have to be considered as "nice-to-have". Often, realisti…

Hi Master, With regards to Q2, if the house is ?L? shaped with extended NW sector. In that case, will it means NW be strong in metal, then? If yes, even if the NW sector has #2 & #5 plus base star #9, will it be neutralized or still the 6-coins metal is needed? Please advise & thank you. Tim

Hi Master, Yes, there are 3 openings. One of them is the main door (common lift landing area for the 4 units), another opening is a side window in the hall but facing the next block, and the last opening is the one with bedroom window(and a wider hall window) facing the pool and club-house. Best regards, Tim

Dear Timothy, Please see below:- If however, the mirror does not face the door directly, this is still OK. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In my opinion both cases you had mentioned below are non-issues especially for the fire hydrant. As often, it is quite low and does not pose any "poison-arrow" issues. In fact, from a non-Feng Shui point of view, this is often a blessing in disguise as it is right in-front of one's home As for the electricity sub-station, there is also no issue since it is quite a distance away. And often, even if one lives close to one, there is no known bad effects from it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Thank You Master Lee for your prompt reply. The B# is 4. So its mountain #8, water #6 and base #4 at my main entrance (not the facing). It is a HDB flat. Entrance door also facing a wall (the kitchen wall). Must I activate the mountain #8 at the entrance? If yes, what should I place? Thank You Emily free-advice Listmanager wrote: From: Cecil Lee Dear Emily, Given that the mountain star is #8, water is not a good idea here, since firstly water at an auspicious MS#8 can drown or "drop the mountain into a hole(water)" thus making it inauspicious. If you have a landed property or if your is a landed property, then landscaping with rock garden would be favourable to furth…

Dear Chee Kiong, Actually, the clue has to do with the "strength" of your element. For example, there is a difference between a "weak" fire person and a "strong" fire person. Under the Five elements concept; the idea is that if one is weak, one should increase one's element. While on the other hand if one is strong, one should try to decrease it. Here, in both instances, what we try to do is to become "balanced" i.e. a "balanced" fire element that is neither too weak or too strong. In your case, since you are a strong fire person, water is favourable to you as it will help to reduce the strong fire. The opposite is true for a weak fire person. Water will further help …

Dear Anon, Frankly, traditional Schools of Feng Shui specifically use two major schools: 1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui 2. Compass School: The Eight House (Ba Cai) or The Flying Star Feng Shui Thus fixed template "Feng Shui" or adapting the Eight Aspirations or Life Aspriations concept of the Eight Trigrams is common today. Although it looks very easy to apply, it is considered too general by Traditional Schools of Geomancy or Feng Shui. In addition to the above, the Ba Zi or Pillars of Destiny of individuals are also used by Authentic Traditional Schools. It all boils down to another major concept: known as "The lowest common denominator or LCM" or everything revolv…

Dear Anon, For the bedroom, it would be best to avoid any water scenery painting or poster in the bedroom. Otherwise, often, other types of painting or poster has to be looked at individually. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Alvin, There are two major considerations, here. Firstly, as you have mentioned: that you are a weak fire person. Therefore, on a hobby level, it is not that advisable to rear fishes given that water can inadvertenly extinguish your weak fire element. However, another major consideration is the "luck" factor of the home. Here, each of us is an individual with our own distinctive date and time of birth. Equally, each home has it's date of birth. Senario ONE 1. The fish tank was placed correctly at the water wealth sector. For example sectors that may have water star #8 (present water wealth location - under Flying star Feng Shui) and sectors like #6 where there …

Dear Anon, To be honest, there is very little information to go on to assess whether it is OK to place the fridge close to the main door entrance. Usually, in a compact kitchen, often a fridge do happen to face a stove. This is especially acceptable if the kitchen is located in the south of the home. It would be best to avoid such a situation i.e. stove face a water position (in the north or if the kitchen is at the north). See if the new location feels more comfortable to both of you or the earlier location. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Hung, If one applies the Compass School of Feng Shui: Eight House (Ba zai) and/or Flying Star Feng Shui the basis of this School has to do with the magnetic compass and not geographical compass. Thus, for any home / office /building /site investigated via the Compass School of Feng Shui, a magnetic compass has to be used to determine the magnetic north and other cardinal points etc... For the purpose of evaluating any site / building or interior, one has to determine the "center-of-gravity" or the centrepoint of say the layout plan of the interior.

Dear Anon, Frankly, in the past most of the "Feng Shui" of a shopping complex is done-up either based on intuition or via Feng Shui advice on the construction i.e. type of external design of say a shopping complex. Here, if a geomacer is tasked the job, he will do an environmental scanning of the surrrounding buildings andadvise on the type of structure. For example, if the neighbourhood is made up of largely of earth buildings or buildings that are squarish or rectangular in shape, a geomancer may advise that the owner build a building is in the form of a wood element e.g. tall structure e.g. like a trunk. For example, for those in Singapore, good examples are: 1. BA…
