Dear May, This shouldn't be a problem. As long as you can block the poison arrow it does not matter whether it is artificial or not. In fact, for bedroom, it isn't too advisable to have real plants. This is because in the evening, the plants will also be fighting with you for oxygen. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Annie, Quote: Given in tung shu,

Dear Cecil, I intend to buy a package from you, but still be confused which direction what method that I need to use. From the front page under your website, to have direction for flying star, you need to stand in the center of house and look into the middle of the door (https://www.geomancy.net/shoppingcart/storesg.cgi?action=link&sku=SELFHELPPKG4&uid=8333) But in this message from this forum, you said that we can stand in front of house looking towards to the horizontal road if it's land property or level from 2 to 7. Could you please clarify this because I have only 1 credit if I buy this package? Another question for this topic too, if house has front door whi…

Dear Sumtra, Please see below:- This has to be looked at carefully instead of making a quick way to turn the door direction EAST. Usually, other factors such as the birth of the house is analysed prior to changing the main door to the East. As the birth chart of the house will change if the door direction changes. For a weak water person, it is good individually to enhance a weak water person with metal element e.g. gold or white. The next best colour is blue / grey or using water element. Is the bed directly under the toilet area? If the above is the case, where possible, the bed should not be directly under the pipes especially sewerage pipes. Frankly, it is…

Dear Lee Hui, lee hui wrote: I am confused on how to determine the "Green dragon" n "White tiger" direction. Should i determineinside the house or outside the house before i step into the house. pls advise.Thank you. This all depends on which frontage/facing direction you take to evaluate this concept. For example, if you take the living room frontage, then the frontage comes the front where the phoenix should be while the back is the tortise and the East side or Left side of the house should be the Green Dragon while the West side or Right side of the house should be the White Tiger. So the best thing you can do is first determine the frontage, then assign the four sym…

Dear Joyce, 1. I am not sure if you are familiar with the atttached method of finding the main door of the house:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm 2. If you have the layout plan and have difficulty finding the centrepoint e.g. especially if the house has many missing corners, then you - scan and attached it to this forum for me to help locate the centrepoint. Alternatively, you can email me for my fax no. (if need be). 3. I believe, the description you mentioned in finding the main entrance may not be `correct' as what I can understand. You need to be at the centrepoint of the house and from there, find the direction of the main entrance door. There may be dev…

Dear SL, 1. In my opinion, and from what you had related, it would normally not the norm to take the direction of the gate to the building to determine the compass direction i.e. one of the 15degree increments needed in the Flying Star analysis. 2. Sometimes taking the reading of the `gate' may perhaps indicated that the person (FS master) may be looking at the `frontage' (which is not necessarily the front door) or if the practitioner has difficulty in locating the front main entrance. 3. It is my believe that, in most instances, FS practitioners would normally determine the compass direction of your front main entrance and then plot the Flying Star. As you mentioned, th…

These are the considerations: 1. Parents particulars are optional. It would be nice-to have their timing but for parents the date of birth are good enough. (One way to look at it is that "we are not marrying the bride's parents nor our own parents). 2. For girlfriend; it is nice to have the time of birth. But there are many who may not have the time of birth. 3. More importantly, the auspicious dates (and time) takes into consideration both bride and bridgegroom's birth dates (and if possible timing). 4. The timing would not change the auspicious day. Thus, later if she managed to find her time of birth; then it would not normally change the selected auspicious day(s). 5…

There are two factors, here:- 1. In theory, under the Five Elements concept & Compass School; sounds reasonable. 2. Furthermore, under human factors; if it makes you feel good.. WHY NOT?

Dear Anon, The traditional cure for #2 (sickness/earth) and #5 (misfortune/earth) is the use of the 6 coins tied with a red string. (strong metal). A blowing fan can do the job but it has to be a metal fan. (representing metal and replacing the 6 coins). But this is not a traditional cure. Use if if you want to but no guarantees of how effective it is. Nowadays, most fans no longer are made entirely of metal so not advisable to replace this entirely with 6 coins. Can I ask you how are you so sure of your wealth sector. In what way did do you determine your wealth sector? Under Flying Star, near equvalent of wealth sectors are the very auspicious sectors. But this or usua…

Dear Anon, This can be a subjective issue: Do we consider symbolism or mass? 1. Under Symbolism, 6 coins represent Big metal or the largest metal element available. 2. If one consider `mass', as in your 5 inch high statute, it does certainly have mass. If you already have such an object, then, avoid adding the 6 coins. 3. "Strange" as it is, Small metal is represented by the number 7. Thus 7 coins represent Small metal. Here, one will notice that it does not matter if there are less coins: 1 coin fewer for `Big Metal' as compared to `Small metal'. 4. Usually, the problem faced is to cure or neutralise with 6 coins and seldom if ever,we use the 7 coins which is less effec…

Dear Regina, Thank you for your file attachment of your bedrom. Yes, looks like the current arrangement is OK. Since, there are two sets of windows and your bed is further away from the bedroom door. The windows behind the bed: ========================== Often, this is commonsense than Feng Shui. But since Feng Shui works on commonsense, it applies: since, we may never know, who may peep on us, from behind. It is nice to have, the bed head, suit your Eight House. Yes, priority should go to "destroy" #5, first. In some instances, Fire can still be used. But often, if it is #2. For #5, where earth keeps on accumulating, a fire cure may not be feasible since, as yo…

Dear Anon, 1. It is difficult to look at Feng Shui from a micro view-point. This is often the `misconception' in Feng Shui. 2. If you are new to Feng Shui, it is best to consult a competent Feng Shui consultant to look at the site and advice on the layout of the interior of the house. 3. This is where the first `phase' is to look at the Shapes and Form School of the house i.e. the environment, the site and the plot of land. Here, this would help to identify, the frontage of the house, the position of the main door, any poison arrows and the back of the house. 4. You can further use the free tools available on the site e.g. the Eight House Chart to see which are the best …

When the car is in the sun or in the presence of light,it shows a very, verylightgrey metallic. When the car is in the shade, it looks like agrey metallic. Is this car considered metal or waterelement? It would still be considered Metal element. Water is considered as Gray but often of a much darker tone. The greay metallic under the shade still does not qualify as a Water element. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear John, In my opinion as far as the Feng Shui of the house is concerned -- majority of the cures relate to placement of 6 coins. Frankly, so far, I have quite of RC clients and in this website... there is no compulsion to place or advice given to place inside the house things that you had mentioned. For six coins, as a cure under Flying Star Feng Shui, users in Singapore has an alternative of using 6 Singapore 1 dollar coins. (As shown under the following url - file reference: 6coins1.jpg:- http://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/mypictures.cgi?img=0&search=6+coins&cat=all&bool=and&x=7&y=9 Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joe, Would it be possible for you to attach a simple sketch. As, I am still unclear of your layout plan. Thanks in advance! Cecil

Dear Anooja, Thanks for the file attachment:) Please see below. 3. For reference: Under the Productive sequence of the five elements concept: Earth -> Metal -> Water 4. Since all three elements #5, #2 and #8 are all earth element we have: 4.1 Earth (#5, #2 and #8) 4.2 You have or suppose to have added chiming clock(s) Here, the equation or flow becomes:- Earth (#5, #2 and #8) with Metal (Chiming clock) 5. If you have correctly placed 5, 2, 8 as 5 = Mountain star 2 = Base star 8 = Water star Under Period 8, water can be used at WS #8 to boost wealth 6. Under the Five Element concept: you can still add another "flow" Earth -> Metal -> Water Thus, one opti…

It was suggested in the auspicous dates section that I should wear my favorable elements on the inauspicious days. My favorable elements are wood, earth and fire. My reasoning is that I should wear earth color on an inauspicious fireelement day since earth reducesfire. Am I reasoning correctly? Generally, when a day is inauspicious, it normally means that there are either some conflict between the day and the year and with your ba zi or suitability. So it is not necessary directed directly at your own individual element or suitability. …

Dear Anon, Feng Shui is about earth luck. And usually an investigation using Flying Star can help detect any issues with regards to health in one's home. The tell tale signs of health issues are especially: 1. bad star numbers e.g. #5 with /or #2 with or #9 combined or in isolation 2. These stars fall either in the bedroom or frontage of the home. For example, for wealth wise, a Period 8, SW1 has good $$ prospect. But such a home potentially has to "take-care" of health issues/problems. For example: Period 8, SW1 :- Frontage SW has M5 W8 B5 Back NE has M8 W2 B2 As the frontage and back of the home are equally important, such a home has to control in particular bad…

Dear Anon, One popular Feng Shui principle is "If you cannot see it, it no longer is a threat". For a cure, `if a cure is not displayed it, it no longer works". Hope the above helps:) Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee (c) 2000

But recently the water is getting clearer and the salt has evaporated (almost completely). Is this normal? Can anyone please advise what I should do next? Should I change the water & add new raw salt in the jar or start a new salt & coin? Yes, it is normal as the various chemical process has already been used up however, how fast or slow depends on theproportion of the water containersize and number of coins. So, it is best to change it after a few months. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Rob…
