Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Will you advise us to give up the toilets and make everything rectangular? Actually, there are public toilets in the building but it is kind of far. The layout 2 will be much cleaner and better in the long run. So that would be most recommended if possible.

Dear Anon, Quote: hi, i am currently searching for a suitable location for my outdoor wedding photo-shooting, could you advise me on whether which part of Singapore or place is the most auspicious one. Is there any things to avoid of? thank in advance. I personally, don't think you should worry about whether the location for your shoot is auspicious or not. As the location auspicious or not isn't going to affect your wedding. Probably finding a nice environment or scenery would be more important so that you have nice memory of the shot as a memory. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Ang, The Eight House Theory can only be used to tell whether one is located in a good or bad sector, how suitable a house to a person. For more accurate determination of the house chart, one has to use time dimensions such as the Flying Star analysis. It is common for everyone to try to enhance their good or auspicious sectors. But one has to look at it from another angle: one has first to locate or neutralise bad sectors. Only after this is done, one should consider enhacing good sectors. It is just like a house with poison arrows aimed at the main door. One can do lots of enhancements etc... but inauspicious effects are still there. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Debbie, Unfortunately, there are few books on History of Feng Shui:- 1. Dr Evelyn Lip For history, one of the few books are written by Dr Evelyn Lip. So far, she has written three books. You can try to find it out e.g. in the library or do a search at amazon.com 2. Dr Ong-Hean Tatt He wrote a good book on Feng Shui. See below ?

You can also check out:- Doctor Stephen Field's FengShui Gate You must visit this site especially if you are doing research on the origins of fengshui. Information for the most part available no where else in English, written and maintained …

Dear Cecil, Thanks for the advice on the house address. Apart from the address, could you advice the best direction for my husband and I? My husband's kua number is 7 and mine is 8. Would buying a new house (for Period 8) be best for us? Is it true (I was told) that those of us with kua number 8 will have a few great years ahead of us? What about those with kua number 7? Does it mean that they will have a few difficult years (all twenty of it) in Period 8. I'll be so grateful if you could answer my so-many questions. Thanks, Sybil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi my husband's desk position in the office is facing his disaster position. There is no other way to move it so it will face another position. Is there anything I can do to counter act this? As you mentioned, there is no other way to move it so nothing much you can do to force that direction to be suitable. As the eight house, simply tells you whether which direction is good or bad. If it is bad, it is best you avoid it. The only other way to minimise the impact could be through improving other areas such as your ba zi element. Check out what element your husband belongs to and then ensure that the colours of the clothings is his favourable …

1. If you are a west person, when sleeping, general, head should be pointed: West, NW, NE or SW. 2. For study, please note your FACE, should face your best direction, which is e.g. NE. 3. Thus one should be aware that both are TWO different activities. For example try sleeping to study. But, unfortunately it cannot be said that someone may fall asleep while they study. For such a person, I feel that even if they face their good direction, is but a waste of time.

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, I believe that it is more of a `coincidence'. 2. One must understand that if something although is easy to implement but get mixed results or that results do not always have the same `happy' ending, it is difficult to be used effectively or applied to everyone. While, situations like a sharp edge of a building aimed at main door of another house has been known to cause problems, we understand that this is indeed a problem and specific cures can be used and most of the time with positive results. 3. Thus, even if the wind chime is good, some of us do not know that it can certainly work at all sectors or must it be at e.g. the West, or east. Oth…

Hi Anon, Anonymous wrote: When leaving the marital home due to seperation and divorce, Would it be appropiate to take material possessions? minus garbage and donating to charity. How about the marriage bed and frame? less than 2 years old? or the bedroom suite ?Is there any advise to help the transition to a new life? This is really up to you. Personally, there isn't harm taking things that can still be used. Most of what you mentioned are mostly chinese beliefs if any. Probably the reason why you might not want to consider the bed and frame is so that it does not remind you of an unsuccessful marriage for example. So ideally, if you want to start a fresh it is best to …

Dear Jack, Alterating the door would in my opinion, alter the birth chart of the house under the Flying Star Theory. It is always prudent to check what is `in store' of the house with the new birth chart - the new birth chart is based on Flying Star Theory / numerology. Thus, one should look at the new Flying Star Chart based on the `new' entrance direction of 150 degrees. Is this new chart better than the existing chart based on the present main door entrance? If so, it may be better since it is away from poison arrows aimed at the present main entrance'. Please note that pictures of semi-circular steps are meant to neutralise `Sha Qi' such as poision arrows facing the …

Dear Fenny, Traditionally, you can try purchasing a small foldable pen-knife. Wrap it in a cloth material and it is sewn into the pillow casing. Warning: Make sure that the pen-knife is closed shut and the casing is padded with cloth. It is suppose to curb dreams. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mr Lee I don't know whether I am correct or wrong. Somehow I feel that there are some inter relationship between Ba Zi, Flying Star, He tu, Luo Shu andwith Ying/Yangwhen COMBINEDcan produce another star. By the way, I understand there are : 1.Yearly purple white star flying stars table, (Nian Zi Bai lu Zhong Xing Shu Cha Biao) 2. Monthly purple white star flying stars table, (Yue Zi Bai lu Zhong Xing Shu Cha Biao) Is there such thing like Daily purple white star flying star table? Is there is, where can I find it?

Dear Santosh, In my opinion, and the many audits done locally, the placement of shoe rack is only of secondary importance or really not a major issue for most of us. Although, some FS practitioners may feel that there is lots of `hipe' in wanting less clutter or felt that `bad qi' if one places shoes/sandals or shoe rack at the front main door. In Feng Shui audits mainly by professionals, assessment is usually based on using the Compass School and particuarly the Shapes and Form of the site and the home. Which is considered the `bigger' picture. Already, within these two schools of FS, there are really so much assessment to be made here. For the garbage bin, especially fo…

Dear Kevin, The `key' ingredients for a new plot of land is: By Ranking (1). Shapes and Form School. (2). The Flying Star of house. (3). Your personal Eight House. 1. Ideally as you have mentioned the frontage of the house should logically be facing the front. 2. The main door can be either at the frontage or at the side of the house. Usually, you may need the services of a competent Feng Shui practititoner to advise you on which sector is the best door location based on you personal Ba Zhi. Here, several Flying Star Charts can be drawn to find out which is most auspicious sector for the main door and like a puzzle, once this is made known, the other sectors of the house …

Dear Elena, 1. Where possible, one should avoid `open' water at the centrepoint. But if it is a hotwater heater, not much can be done and this can still be located here as it is `sealed'. Not ideal, but, still `acceptable'. 2. Where possible, if this is a storage area, if there are shelves, items can be placed on the shelves. But avoid, turning on e.g. vacuum cleaner or create a `disturbance' at the centre location. Static objects can be placed on shelves. Objects such as mobs should be dry before placing it in this location. It is thus advisable to leave the space clear as possible. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chris, Overall, the toilet sha qi is in the way of your office and home. To be honest, there is not much one can do here other than to e.g. move out of the office. (Especially the office space). Using mirrors can be a double-edged sword. If the sector happens to be a bad sector; it may bounce back twice the bad luck. And at the moment, if you are not sure of the effects, try not to make it `worse' - should the mirrors inadvertenly bounce back twice the bad luck. Overall, if there is some cure, I would be most happy to share with you but as you are aware, it demands something `physical' such as relocating the toilet or if this is not possible, moving out at the soone…
