General Help

Further to what I had mentioned, often, a good Feng Shui practitioner will often use "water element" instead of fire element (if given the choice to neutralise e.g. a #7 under Period 8 Feng Shui.) As we have already known: #7 = weak metal element. And under the productive cycle of the 5 elements concept, water helps to draw out "metal" or helps to reduce or neutralise it. Although the fire element can be used to "control" #7 or weak metal, under certain circumstances, it may not always be the best choice. This is because, we should not forget that there are #5 and #2 both bad earth elements "floating" around the time dimension. In a worst case senario where in the ev…

Dear Ricky, Yes, this is definitely a much better arrangement: 1. the sharp edge of the cabinet no longer points towards the dining table. 2. this layout definitely makes the kitchen more rectangular in-shape and the fridge is now flushed against the wall area. (So long as there is proper ventilation for the back of the fridge, this is ok). 3. If the oven is at position A, this is OK. 4. Generally, we have not taken into consideration the wife's ba zi to see if the stove is in a good facing direction. But, if say the opposite direction is favourable, then a mirror can be used to "reflect" the image to the other side of the wall. Especially if current stove is sa…

Dear Anon, Frankly, this is an over-kill. (not advisable) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Perhaps, this could be a coincidence. Note: this is not Feng Shui, but is quite common activity for some Chinese that are truly down on their luck:- However, for the Chinese, some would prior to taking a bath:- 1. purchase a few limes. Cut the limes into 4 quarters. 2. purchased assorted flowers. get ready the above and place them in a small basin of luke warm water After bathing, just pour this water with lime/flowers over our head . Next, dry ourselves with bath rope. And collect the items and throw them away. Often, avoid going into the toilet for the next 2 hours or so. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Usually, when the year the house was built is in question, we normally use two different period house which we suspect the house to be built and then do a comparison to see which is more likely to be thechart that is present in your home. If you can tell for sure when you had any major renovation done, then you can be pretty sure which chart influence is still present for your home. Period 6 (1964-1983) while Period 7 (1984-2003). Now we are in Period 8 (2004-2023). Generally, if you had any major renovation done in period 7, then it is very likely that your house belong to the period 7, else it will still remain as a period 6 chart. So unless there was a m…

Hi Anon, A large part has to do with the external factors such as the boss calling the shots. I am afraid there is very little you can do in terms of Feng Shui to cure the situation. You will have to work hard to changing the boss opinion of you through better human to human relationship. Hope that helps.

Dear Lisa, Please see below:-

Dear Margaret, So in singapore especially, the unit numbering for your home would be shown as #03-10. Where 03 is level, and 10 is the unit number for that level. Thus, there is two fields. I believe it should be safe for you to use 3 in the first field and 10 in the second field when using our Apartment Number report. In your case, depending on the layout, if the layout plan is such that the door isn't located too oddly or being blocked, you can take the center of the house to the main door. Else, you should take the frontage based on the living room's balcony where most light come into the house.Generally, you take for example from balcony looking out if …

This year Chinese 7th month starts on 3 August and ends on 31 August. No issue if renovation starts before 3 August and continues to 31 August 2016. Avoid moving house during the Chinese 7th month.

Dear Anon, Unfortunately, since you mentioned that this is the only possible position you can place the altar. Then, there is very little you can do to re-position it. I mean Feng Shui is also actually about common-sense. I mean if course when possible if you are able to it is best to place it in the best possible position. But sometimes, these things happen and there is no possible alternative for you. So you just have to make do. When you look at feng shui, you have to look at it in a wholistic approach. Meaning that there are major issues right down to minor issues. It does not mean that just because one area is wrong, you will be faced with issues. Frankly, it t…

Dear Anon, From your description, the house must seem very peaceful. In fact, all of us one fine day must also die. (especially old age) For your home, to me I feel that it should be ok. So long as you do not hang wind chime(s). Since your home is further separated by a rural road, this is even better. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Christine, Frankly, Feng Shui is by no means a miracle cure for every single situation. In feng shui the main goal is to attempt to create a harmoious environment so that everyone will feel good. When you feel good, you will feel more relax, sleep better, work better and thus giving you the ability to focus on your career. The only thing here you can do is to ensure that you check the element compatibility between the you/husband and your step-daughter. This will help to reduce some tension between the three. ie a weak wood andweak fire will be in best harmony if you have more Wood (green/brownin the room for example). Use the compatibility report in the member …

Dear William, For move in date, what is usually needed is the Name, Gender & Dateof birth(& if possible hour of birth) of the Breadwinner and Spouse. You will also need the date range which you plan to move into the house. ie Jul 2005 to Aug 2005 etc. It would seem that your house will be completed about a year later, so why not look for the date nearer that time. Unless of course, you meant Aug 2004. We have an auspicious date for two person to help you narrow down the best possible date for that month. You can use that to help you find a move in date, start of renovation etc. But it will require which months to search into. Something similiar to our Monthly…

Dear Anon, Perhaps, you may consider a potted plant. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Meena,

Dear Ashwini, To be honest, often, Shapes and Forms Feng Shui prevail over other forms of Feng Shui e.g. Flying Star etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cecil, Thanks for your reply! However, based on my question 3 on the master bedroom, I have a further question about it. As shown in my previous diagram, since there are 2 hdb flats by the side of the pedestrian walkway, do the corners of the 2 hdb flats constitued sha-qi aimed at our master bedroom? What can we do if it is? Thanks alot! - Amy

Dear LH, Thanks for the clarification. Yes, using the adage: "If one cannot see it, it no longer becomes a threat". In your example, since the stove does not face the main door (directly) in full view, it is not a "threat" to it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, As the Pinnacle will be one of the tallest housing board apartments, usually at the higher floors, in my opinion, there is not a major issue in either looking out to the bay or city , harbour view. What is more important considerations are: 1. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui Where possible, avoid having the unit balcony, bedrooms directly facing the afternoon WEST sun. What would be worst is an apartment that is facing exactly West to East (Or East -- west) apartment. Here, the apartment will not be spared the mercy of both morning and afternoon sun! 2. Under Flying Star Feng Shui Facing directions like NE is particuarly auspicious under Period 8 (whic…

Dear Anon, Frankly, this has not much to do with the need to place a symbolic object to "neutralise it". But rather, this issue has more to do with the "Commonsense approach" to Feng Shui. This is because, most of the time, it was felt that chances of a fire occuring in a home -- the most likely occurence could be from the kitchen. And since fire and heat travel upwards, this is our main concern. But in modern times, I would rather "invest" in having smoke detector(s) -- if you have not one already fitted than the bottle gourd. Here, there is a good chance that (touch-wood) in the event of a fire -- the smoke detector would go off and warn us. But the bottle gourd …
