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

If your house has no major changes done, then you should use plot the home based on the P5 Flying Star Chart accordingly. Take note that the key stars are #8 current prosperity etc...

Let say it built in 1954 and facing 168" south

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. Placement of a fish tank can be both (1)scientific &/or (2) based on Yin and Yang concepts; &/or (3) Shapes and Forms and lastly by personal feel or even trial and error Feng Shui. 2. Recently, someone also asked whether their placement is correct. Thus if it purely on a SCIENTIFIC way, then I have mentioned that one has to apply things like Flying Star Feng Shui. Check whether the water star #8 or alternatively the water star #1 is in the "right place". Right place is an appropriate location especially in the living room. 3. Even if the water star e.g. WS#8 is located in a bedroom, many would feed awkward having a fish tank with fishes looking at you when y…

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 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 Sandy, Yes, it makes practical sense for the 4-poster bed to be covered with fabric or lace. - OK, no issue. As it makes it easy to "maintain" i.e. wash and re-use again. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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. Anonymous wrote: Else, how could we cure the bad fengshui usually associated with L-shaped or cleaver design? It is really hard to cure such L-shaped type of layout. So if you can avoid it. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

1. It depends! 2. One critical factor is about size. Some offices are pretty large by itself. But based on your sketch, the office looks puny or small. 3. In addition, another clue is where is the "mouth" of the office. In the sketch, the mouth of the tiny office is within the "mouth" of the retail shop. Thus, since this mainmouth is where qi is suppose to flow intoTHIS premises, then logically for practical reasons; the mouth of the retail shop should be the "first choice". 4. Unless the office MAY have a separateentrance door;and if this door is used as the office's main door.

1. Frankly, the Grand Duke concept should not be treated as "rocket science". 2. It has more to do with:- 2.1. Disturbing the Grand Duke i.e. such as re-painting walls or demolishing walls or renovation of floor tiles at NE (this year) 2.2 If one is nothing disturbing or touching Grand Duke, generally, there is no major concern. For example meditating is a peaceful activity; so where to or how to antagonise Grand Duke? Thus this is not an issue.

Dear Anon, You can make use of the Pillars of Comparison (for members) at www.geomancy-online.com You will be able to compare both Husband and wife. The binding element will be suggested to you. Hopefully, this matches the paint colour:) 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…

In this sample by ranking of an estate; one systematic approach is to apply common sense such as:- In this sample there are Legends like:- X = Inauspicious especially low floors to be next to a precint pavilion where often funerals are held. (only applies to HDB does not apply to condo units) RB = Low floors may get the smell of rubbish truck collection... etc... The other is if you can try to apply Flying Stars or plot and use it to understand the interior layout. Here the concern is where certain bad flying star numbers may land e.g. #5 hopefully does not land in say the master bedroom etc... The alternative is you may want to consider getting a geomancer to appra…

Dear Zarah, Please see below:- Here, especially for anyone who wants to determine whether: 1. Is this a missing corner? 2. Can this be a protrusion instead of a missing corner? Under Para 1, for ease of identification, we consider a sector (we divide the house equally into 9 sectors). If the area of the sector is greater than 33.3% of the size of that sector, this is usually considered as a missing corner. If it is a `slight' recess, perhaps, you may want to check to see if this is truly a missing corner i.e. 33.3percent of the area is missing. A small mirror, does not `effectively' provide the "depth" require to cure a missing corner > 33.3 percent. It only ac…

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 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 Anon, 1. First of all thanks for pointing me to the direction of what the Tansu step cabinet look like. 2. In my opinion, Chinese medicine chest cabinets also have small compartments but usually are of equal height or levels. 3. I can understand your `concern' after looking at it. On one hand, it looks ok to me i.e. even if there are `poison arrows' it seems to point upwards. In my opinion, it is difficult to say since, I have very little encounters with this specific cupboard. Overall, you may have to decide should you want to purchase it. 4. Based on past experience, usually the `worst' threats are those aimed at the main entrance door and windows of a home. These …

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 Max, There are many theories involved with regards to the kitchen: 1. Some FS practitioner feels that kitchen should be in harmony with either spouse. Either/or should be auspicious sector for either say the husband or wife. Please see below:- The main `argument' here is that it has to do with the fire element. Some FS practitioners feel that fire may be harmful as it can result in frequent quarrels. However, this is less of importance and we should be focusing more on:- 1. The kitchen has both the fire and water element i.e fire (stove) and water (the basin/refrigerator). 2. Priority is that the stove should try to face inwards in the kitchen as it helps to keep…

Dear Seeker, In my opinion, it is best to re-confirm both the centrepoint and compass direction of the house. (Period it was built - Period 7?) Is the house rectangular in shape or otherwise. If you have a layout, perhaps, you can scan it in. Warmest Regards, Cecil
