Dear Pam, Overall, this is acceptable if it is directly facing the front door. It is not ideal but, can still be placed there. Warmest Regards, Cecil

I guess its is right that all elements needs each other, I just need to find the balance for more beneficial elements.. thks for the info.. I will consider hard first before i start coz its for my baby's future! Will check out that book. thanks!

Dear Ang Chye, The easiest method is to use the Pillars of Comparison (for members) to find the binding elements of both you and your wife. Please take note the element and strength of the above report is used in conjunction with the analysis under Pillars of Destiny version 7. As the Pillars of Destiny 8 is based on two more `Pillars'. While most of the time may be the same, but may slightly vary in some occasions. For those using Pillars of Destiny 8, later, we will have a module for this version. But again, the Pillars of Comparison for version 7 is already accurate. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

how do you work that out, when you and exit out side from bedroom and from the front of the main house

Dear Matthew, 1. I would assume that your parents may not want to spent too much money in the improvement of the basement. 2. Basically, you can go down to using the Yin and Yang concept as a starting point. 3. Here, you may have to ask yourself the question: "Do I sleep and work at the basement. Or both". 4. Since this is the basement, assuming that there is minimal light, it is best to have light coloured walls (to brighten up) the basement. 5. More yin suggests, more rest. But if you need to study or do work at the basement, then, have a balance of both yin and yang. 6. If there is natural light coming into the basement, do take advantage of this. 7. More importantly, …

1. As the saying goes: "location, location, location". 2. Frankly, many of us can only "so called pathe our home with gold" but when we look out of our four walls; we simply cannot change what is out there! Jolie Q. wrote: My new loft window faces East (I am kua #9 female). The street is half lofts, half warehouse buildings. There is a factory smokestack that can be seen down about 2 blocks over that emits smoke on weekdays up into the air. What types of remedy do you suggest for this? 3. Here, one has to appy commonsense approach. But sometimes commonsense may still be not good enough: 4. If due to the nature of the surrounding buildings; hopefully, the smoke from …

1. Frankly; I would believe that one of the chief concerns would be security - since after office hours - it would seem quite a vacant place to be at. 2. Honestly, since no two places are the same, external environment, the site, the place or location of where your "home" is has to be considered. Such question that you had asked cannot be answered by just posting a one liner and waiting for a full "cure" if there is any.

1. In my opinion, there are no known scientific concerns posed by say strong magnetic influence such as those emiited by powerlines. > 2. MRI's used in hospitals have eeven more powerfull magnets. 3. However, it may be different issue if the tower supporting the poweline slices thru like a butter knife thru an opening of a home such as when standing at thhe balcony, it slices thru it sort of thing. 4. Or tthe tower or pole, can be any other pole closeby that might collapse against part of the home. 5. Otherwise, chances of such occurences is far less unlikely that a vehhicle accident, and also so much less than a plane falling out of the sky.

Dear Yael, Please read below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Monday, May 10, 1999 10:07 PM Subject: living in a yacht Personally, I have not read any materials about Feng Shui for yacht. Also, because for the yacht, your directions are often changing, realistically there is no way you can even apply Flying Star or Eight House to your yacht, your boat is often changing directions. If you do want to apply Feng Shui to your yacht, the only possible theory is either Yin & Yang, Colours and Five Element. This means you can apply things like say if you are a weak wood, then obtain colour of…

1. In my opinion, what you described is pretty common - apartment basements in some parts of NY city. 2. Commonsense Feng Shui:- 2.1. In some low lying countries; the main concern is that for such apartments; is - if there is sudden flooding i.e. where the nearby drains leading to the sea got clogged and or due to sudden heavey downpour in the Tropics. 2.2. Commsense Feng Shui is about making sure that the home is reasonably neat and tidy and : "clear space" is very common word to use, here. 2.3. Being in the basement; it is still good to ocassionaly "air" the home e.g. good to once a while - especially after a down pour to let outside air circulate within the hom…

Dear Nancy, 1. I have looked thru the photo & layout you sent to my email account. 2. Overall, your plot of land is not an ideal shape. Units 5402 and 5401 are at a `T' junction and for these two units at the end of the road, preferably the main doors should not be in direct alignment to the road. Your home and the opposite house (5408) plus units 5402 and 5401 are in a configuration "close to" the Yang Zhai Shi Shu where three houses `meet'. This is considered a `bad' layout (not "fatal" but bad) in that it signifies `family will not be rich'. 3. The above is based on a three house layout. But with the four house layout, it looks similar to the above. Hopefully, it …

Dear Sophia, It all depends on the interior layout plan. Actually, for those living in a landed property, often, the frontage of the home would be the living room area and "behind" it is the diningarea. Thus for landed properties, more often, the diningarea is higher than the living room. And not the other way as mentioned, below. This is quite common because, most of the time, "clear-space" should be at the"frontage" and the back of the home should be higher. Thus,generally, without taking intoother considerations,for landed properties, there may be a concern if theliving room is higher than the dining area. This would suggest that there is a "mountain" at the fronta…

Hi, Please can you advise if the living room as per the attached floor plan is bad in feng shui? Also please could you let me know if the floor plan is in accordance with feng shui? The house is facing southwest. Many thanks, Janice

Hi, would like to ask about fengshui for this living room view

Hi Cecil, Kindly seeking your help. Im in the mist of planning our renovation, and we found a nice spot for our living room. Located in the north west of the house. The only issue is the partial living room is under a upstairs toilet( masterbedroom toilet), above our sitting area is the upstairs balcony , but the television and coffee table will be under the toilet.Should i be concern?My couch will be behind a curtain window, is that alright? or should i out a a cabinet behind the couch ?( that would mean the couch will be heading toward the upstairs toilet. Thank you so much... regards Hoe

Dear Daria, Please see the attachment. I used Smart Draw software to give a simple illustration: 1. Please see a sample `North' marking. It may not be exactly true North. But this is merely a sample. 2. I had placed a True compass direction's grid on the `centre-of-gravity' of the layout plan. This method is known as the True compass `pie-chart' method. Another method is to properly mark out the `zones' for each compass direction. Much like the sample `zone' shown in PURPLE for the North compass direction. Each compass zone can also follow this type of marking or zone. 3. Highlighted in yellow is considered as a missing corner. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kim, Traditionally, even if the Front door is never used, for Feng Shui audit purposes, both this door and your `other front door' should be analysed. Especially if one is applying Flying Star Feng Shui. The purpose of this is to compare the two charts to see which is more favourable to the owner. And at the same time, the charts can be used to look at which is more accurate. Usually, by definition; the main door is one where the house number is placed onto it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kim, Apologies, this site does not discuss BTB methods. As far as I am aware, there are no practitioners in the Far East and in Hong Kong or Taiwan practising such things. It is felt that BTB is a modern marketing invention by one man. If you are apply Compass School methods i.e. The Eight House or Flying Star Feng Shui, then, do look at how the main entrance door is been surveyed using the following example/link:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm Under Flying Star Feng Shui, this is the method used:- 1. Even if one does not make use of the main entrance door, so long as the door has a house number, one should also try to draw a Flying Star Chart to analy…

Dear Jack, The best way is to get the center of the house from the layout plan. This is because sometimes when you stand in the center of the house, you might miss the center or find it virtually impossible due to a wall or pillar which prevents you from being at the center of the house. Please see Cecil's Compass method to help you determine the main door direction accurately. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee
