Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, you must have picked up the tip from a book written with `sector Feng Shui'. 2. From what I can see, in normal situations, there is relatively no issue or problem with regards to the placement of candles in your living hall or kitchen. 3. In my opinion also, real fire is more `unusual' than any of the other 4 elements e.g. water, wood, metal and earth. In that candles relate more to Yang energy - enhancement of Qi rather than `sha qi'. 4. I believe, some FS practitioners (if they are practising Flying Star (Xuan Kong Fei Xing) may be worried about this. Since, under the Five elements concept, fire produces earth. And because #5 (misfortune, si…

What is there are no others choice it must be near to main door, how we going to solve it? Wil it affect our career as me and my husband is doing sales related to food business? Dear Chong Wee Wei, There are two senarios, here: 1. Symbolism in Feng Shui Under symbolism in Feng Shui, it is best to avoid having items such as fork or occasional scissors on the dining table if it can be seen from the main entrance. As this could suggest : issues like quarrels in the home. In addition, the idea of having a empty rice bowl with a set of chopsticks on the di…

Dear Anon, 1. If one hires a Feng Shui practitioner who practises (Ren Cai) or Human/Man luck Feng Shui, more often, a fountain is placed close to the main entrance door area. 2. But, honestly, the placement of a fountain comes under the following considerations:- 2.1 It is not advisable to have a fountain - especially if the breadwinner is a weak fire or strong water person. As a water position can overwhelm the weak fire or extinguish his weak fire. If one is a strong water person, too much water can also overwhelm him/her. 2.2 What is the actual purpose of a fountain? 2.2.1 If one is living on a landed property, a water position especially at the frontage does help. Th…

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 Anon, 1. A mountain star should not be activated in the centre of a room. A certain of a room should have clear space. 2. A mountain star cannot apply as and when we want it to. It has to be `found' and if there is a mountain star applied under certain conditions such as: - A backdoor or in a room. 3. No a ceiling fan (moving blades) even with a external decorative cover at the middle (with the magnetic coils) at the centre cannot be considered a mountain star. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. If you have the opportunity to avail yourself to the services of a Feng Shui practitioner onsite, much the better. Since you are building a new house, many considerations need to be considered. Other important considerations, is that the Feng Shui consultant can advise you on the best date for `starting' the work. 2. There are lots of considerations to be made and a trained eye would be a better choice. Please see below:- There are a few considerations here: 1. Where possible, the house should be suitable to the breadwinner. The Eight House can be used generally to check how suitable the house is to the breadwinner. Where possible avoid the death or disa…

Dear Doreen, 1. Based on the Eight House Theory, this implies that the house is not the best suited for you and your husband. 2. Usually, this is not the "end of the world". 3. You should also consider the intangible force affecting both of you in the bedroom. If possible, the person with the more auspicious intangible force sleeps closer to the direction and the other spouse sleeps on the opposite site (shielded by the spouse). 4. It is best to keep the main entrance area `bright' and natural lighting (if possible).

Dear Jazz, Jazz jazz wrote: with regars to checking own zi wei dou shu, would like to check how much difference it will make if time of birth is wrong, eg bet 1am and 1pm? In ba zi, time of birth may affect some of the character analysis and overall five element percentage. But in general, only a few hours really differ from having only the day of birth analysed. Unless element strength is different (ie weak water changed to strong water), there will no be too great a difference. Often, our advise is not sure, take an analysis without the hour of birth as the foundation analysis. In Zi Wei Dou Shu (Chinese Astrology/Horoscope), it is also quite similiar, the likelyhood…

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 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 Hoa Luong, No, (no) - Ba Gua mirrors must not be used indoors. Never in one's own home. At staircase landings, one MAY place a mirror e.g. flat rectangular (normal type) mirror here. This is NOT COMPULSORY. One must NEVER place Ba Gua mirrors within the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Elena, No, one of the conditions is that it must have a backing e.g. a solid wall. A moutain star cannot be activated at the centre of the house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In my opinion, the interpretation is based on the address only. More importantly, depending on your level of usage of traditional methods or if one is only a `passer-by' of Feng Shui; other analysis are a better alternative: Such as correct shapes and form, avoiding poison arrows aimed at the house. These are easier to apply. More advanced methods such as Flying Star/Pillars depends as I mentioned above, on the level of your participation or non-participation in them. `Troubled mother' in terms of numerology implies `worries' of a parent (based on direct Chinese translation) of the combination of 3, 4 and 1 numbers. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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 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…

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, Anonymous wrote: I have placed a salt & coin in the west sector of the apartment for a month. Initially the water in the jar was milky with lots of bubbles. 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…

Dear Hoa Luong, Hoa Luong wrote: I'm a strong water. A few of my inauspicious days this month are fire element which is my wealth color. 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 Terry, Terry Law wrote: Can we activate the water star 8 when the annual 5 yellow or 2 illness star is there? Yes, you can still activate the water star 8. Water star usually is activated with water. So water feature will activate the water star 8 making ie stronger. This star will actually harness and drain the annual star 5/2. You won't activate the star 2/5 unless you add fire or earth element influence in that sector. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.

Hi Master Cecil I saw the above picture in one your reply. You mentioned that the length is 41cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm or 71cm or 89cm or 107cm or 148cm. Is this the length of the whole altar from one end to another end? If yes, and using 107cm as example, what measurement to use for ancestor table and chinese god? If the measurement is for the ancestor tablet and the chinse god tablet respectively, then can we use a combination of say 41cm for ancestor table and 59.5cm for chinese god? Appreciate your thoughts on this.

1. In my opinion, it is difficult to comment with the limited information; available. 2. Often, when it comes to the question of : Should I move? For many, the question posed is: will my new home be better or worse than the current home. 3. For many (unlike yourself); perhaps have stayed in a home; not much fantastic Feng Shui luck; but still can scrape thru. What happens if the next home has worse Feng Shui; or similar to what you may have encountered? 4. However, in your case; I am not sure how detailed the "Feng Shui" analysis and cures that was done previously. 5. On your question of "how extreme to have to move": Currently para 4; is a real question mark; and you ha…

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…
