Dear Mariel, As I do not have much information with regards to the view of the home and other information, it is difficult to pin-point the problem. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Hemant, Frankly, there is no direct relationship between selling say a godown vs Feng Shui. A godown is especially related more with business decisions, then Feng Shui. In the holy trinity of luck: considerations include: things like your office Feng Shui, home Feng Shui....

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Caveat Emptor! Let the buyer beware. 2. Especially if one's birthdate falls in a so called "grey" area; if you get 10 geomancers to "prepare" a Ba Zi chart; often one will find that 6 out of 10 will get it all "mixed" up. 3. An eye opener is to be aware of any geomancer that sells commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. To them these so called modern commercial products have one fragrance: "Buy cheap, Sell HIGH". Guess who pockets the change? But, unfortunately, like the saying goes: "When the buying stops (not possible); just maybe, the selling ENDS?" 4. In order to reason why Fung Sway is being practiced in "this manner" …

Frankly, in my opinion, I widely consider what you mentioned under a broad term: "Occupational Hazard". For example, drawing a parallel to you. Even we geomancers also may fall into "Occupational Hazards" once in a while. Here, we would bring along our luopan. And once in a while; during our visits; meet a home that is "dirty" or "unclean" (belonging to those of the other kind). From the safety aspect; just take extra care to minimize personal exposures to risks. Otherwise: it is an occupational hazard".

Dear Oliv, Traditionally or in the past, there were no such thing as either the electric oven or the refrigerator. (Although there is the clay kiln -- which for the Chinese is often used to make pottery). Otherwise, unlike in the middle east, the Chinese do not often bake bread or pita etc... (As the main Chinese stable food is rice). The most important consideration therefore has to do with the position of the stove. Please note that in my opinion, the micro-wave oven should be considered as belonging to the metal element. This is because, unlike conventional ovens that use heat, the micro-wave ovens excite molecules "inwards" using the wave-length e.g in the 800 mega…

1. If you refer to "stars" as "stars" belonging to the Flying Star theory, then:- 1.1. For example, a sector may have Mountain Star #5 with Water Star #9 and base star #2. 1.2. In this simple illustration:- #5 = earth element (significance = misfortune, sickness) #9 = fire element (simply fire element) 1.3. In this example, the water star #9 is not good as the combination of #5 with #9 means that under the Five Elements concept Fire #9 fuels or triggers a more nastier #5. Making the misfortune sickness worse-off! Than if there is no #9 fire to fuel it.

I am a university student about to be 30, this is my 6th year of a degree, I am a single mother of 4. My studies have been difficult and very exhausting, I am taking longer than others. I am intelligent, I have difficulties concentrating at home, for various reasons (children), stress, sleepy and time management. I just moved into a brand new apartment building, on the 14th floor, I am paying very special attention to the North and North East. I have a wood desk I got given to me today it will be delivered whenever I am ready, however I am almost scared I will place it the most negative of the three options I have...Although I do not know which position is the most negati…

Dear Gerry, Thank you for raising a pertinent question, particularly for new users in this forum. 1. It is traditionally beneficial to comprehend why the Chinese utilize the compass with TOP representing the South and BOTTOM representing the North. 2. Upon closer examination, it is evident that China is situated in the Northern Hemisphere, where the majority of mountain ranges are located in the North. 3. For those who have visited Beijing, the capital of China, it is common to observe that many houses have their windows and main doors oriented towards the South. Furthermore, the absence of windows on the North side is attributed to the dusty storms of…

[Note: This message refers to the Sample Wedding Invitation cards, Chinese New Year cards that was posted recently to the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures) This conference is not included in the mailing list but rather, one has to login to the forum to see them as it contains pictures etc..] Dear Anon, I agree with you. Why not red envelopes used. Red envelopes are also used. However, the `disadvantage' of using red envelopes is that if one tries to write on it, especially with blue or black ink, it is pretty hard to see. (I believe this is the main reason). Otherwise, red envelopes are acceptable. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In the past, occupations are `clear cut'. One can easily relate it to the type of occupation. 2. Nowadays, because of different functions and multi-skilling, jobs are harder to identify. 3. In my Applied Feng Shui book, I have provided many examples of jobs and the relation to the elements. 4. Under the Pillars of Occupation Report under geomancy-online.com , it shows the `types' of occupation: 4.1. Occupation and Wealth Occupations, based on Pillars of Destiny would most like provide wealth. 4.2. Occupation and Power Occupations that `gives' one power 4.3. Other occupations Examples of occupations are highlighted each for Wealth, Power and Other occupation…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: How to adjust for time zone difference when entering birtth time in a ba zi calculation if the person was born outside of China? This topic has been asked several times before. And I recently just replied to another user about this topic.

Dear Kenny, Generally, these are another way to look at the various elements in relation to your life:- Simply it is good to have friends as they often means people or things which helps you along the way providing you additional support and encouragement. Most likely all users are more interested in the Wealth as such the reports focus more on this area. Generally, if you encounter for example lots of Earned Wealth and Unexpected Wealth in your Luck Pillars or throughout your life based on (Water) elements, it means that you are given lots of opportunities to gain wealth. Whether or not you succeed thus depends on whether youa re a strong Earth person. On the oth…

Dear Anon, Yes, in Chinese belief, it is not auspicious to use a black lamp shade. As for a throw pillow, this can be quite subjective. If you have a picture of it, perhaps you can post it here. Overall, having black furniture is not necessarily considered bad. For example, many leather seats for the living room are black in colour. Equally, nowadays, many furniture e.g. TV set stands and TV sets are in black colour. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master cecil Lee, Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I would like to understand and learnthe rationale forpoint 3): Cecil L. wrote: A3: Fire element is preferered. As water was inappropriate to activate this NW Sector'coz water exhausts metal. Your answer is to use fire element. But I thought fire clashes with Metal right? as it destroys metal ? What is the rationale that fire is more appropriate to activate the #8 base star ? Appreciate. Thanks !

1.Frankly, Holistic Feng Shui is more than what you had mentioned. 2. In my opinion, no harm, trying. But do refer to these two guidelines:- * The Customer Engineer Concept * The Three-Step-Approach 3. More guidelines:- *Commonsense Approach Fact or Fiction? * Fast Food Feng Shui * Feng Shui Triage * Fix-the-Leak, First! * Situational Approach * The Concept of Maximizing Marks * The Concept of Feng Shui by Exception * Trial & Error Vs Flying Star

Hi Cecil, Recently my neighbour placed a Ba Gua mirror above his door. His room is directly opposite my unit, thus any potential bad spirits or luck he is trying to reflect may end up in my unit. Am I right to think this would be the case? Can you spare me some professional advice on what I should do? Yours, Jin

Dear Jaishree, There are a few considerations to note: 1. One theory you can apply is the Eight House Theory. Here, check what intangible force is located in the West room with respects to your children who will be occupying the room. 2. Under the Eight House, Where possible it is good for them to spent time at an of the 4 auspicious sector e.g. Health, Longevity etc.. 3. Priority should be given to Para 2. Another point is that they can sit facing one of their good directions. 4. Before considering Para 3, it is best to position the study table against a wall for `support'.
