General Help

Dear Anon, 1. There should not be an issue here. Some Feng Shui practioners believe that electrical items such as washing machine or dryer that shakes should not be placed at an auspicious sector. If it is an inauspicious sector this is good. As the shaking will drive away, the auspiciousness. 2. With the various forms of Feng Shui available, Para 1 is of secondary importance. More importantly, if one fully understands the purpose and limitations of each Feng Shui theory or concepts, this will instead, put to good use. Warmest Regards, Cecil

These are some considerations: 1. Please note that what I had written does NOT take into consideration: http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage 2. No two home are the same. And common sense says that : "It depends!" 3. Frankly, there no such thing as an utopian home. Thus most homes must also look at:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks 4. To better understand and make your own opinion on "the direction of the MAIN DOOR"; I suggest you go read the following information:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=15673&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=15672&ne…

You can find an individual's element and strength under this url: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-element.htm Note: The final result is always either Weak or Strong e.g. weak water, strong water, weak wood, strong wood etc....

These are some considerations: You wrote: 1. if I can still activate both these stars with water and mountain feature, because star 7 is considered inauspicious now in Period 8 and I also have a base and annual star of 3(bad star) at the entrance area also, unless you meant that my house period 7 luck will continue into period 8 without any major renovation to change my house to Period 8. 1.1 In general, from 2004 to 2023, #7 and #7 x2s will continue to be a bad number: Theft and Robbery star. #7 = weak metal. 1.2 If there is an annual star = #3; this is considered as bad wood element. And under the Five elements concept: Water fuels wood. Thus, in theory, placing a w…

These are further considerations:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=29725&new=), 1. By coincidence from now to 2023, based on Flying Star Feng Shui you are lucky that South is ranked 2nd only to SW and NE. And North ranks much lower. 2. From the above article, do take note that SW and NE not mentioned by you has the best Feng Shui. 3. Facing an open space where a bird can fly freely is also considered VIRTUAL water. 3.1 And not necessarily do or die must face the sea. Think about it. 4. In addition, you are also missing another factor: How suitable is the apartment to you? 5. In my opinion, if you happen to be an East group pers…

Happy new year to everyone. Thanks Eve for your input. I am not sure whether those books that you mention is available in the US or in Malaysia, but I will try to locate one. Again, thanks for your input. Mark.

Dear Toni, Please see below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Friday, April 09, 1999 2:32 PM Subject: Re: stove next to fridge?? Since the stove is in the south, this is acceptable because at the south position, the stove is able to `retain' the heat as it is at it's most comfortable location i.e. South. Normally, if the stove is at the South position, you can have the stove face a water element e.g. a frige. This is because a stove at the south can still be `cooled' down by the water element opposite it. Contrast this if you place a stove e.g. in the North sector. Here, you must not let th…

Dear Bill, Apologise for the late reply. I just got back. -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Sunday, June 06, 1999 3:37 PM Subject: Flying Stars and my house built in period 6 Yes, Flying Star requires a clear understanding of the various foundation, otherwise you will not be able to apply them. For this portion. It depends on which theory you want to employ them. Currently, there are 3 different theories for this. If you take the default theory (being each period is 20-years), then 5 is being assigned to the base star. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Lily, The calculation of the Hourly branch i.e. the first part is taken from zi (rat) but the Heavenly stem requires one to look at the Day pillar together with zi (rat) to find out the Heavenly stem of the hour. Therefore if one looks at it zi (rat) whether it is zi-early rat or zi-late rat does not matter. What is more important is to get the Day correct. Essentially, if one understand how Pillar works, the hour pillar is not that necessary as not all analysis refer to the hour pillar. However, with the hour of birth one can get more accuracy i.e. more elements to analyse especially for house of life. House of conception does not need the Hour pillars. Robert who i…

Dear Users, I would like to add further on this matter. Let me relate it to why I always stress that when an individual lack a certain element, one of the best cures is to come into constant contact with the related element, such as using colour. This relates to my elder brother. He is basically a weak wood, and lacks lots of water and in the past he did not really believe much about Feng Shui. We told him that his favourable type of element is water, which means that his likely favourate colours are blue, black and grey. And true enough, when he started to believe in Feng Shui, he purchased a pond and started to rare koi in the living room (but also note that is was plac…

Dear Anon, I believe Lillian Too is applying the Eight Associations or Life Aspirations where the NE is the Education sector. The significance of the meaning of this Gua is a "steady progress in meeting targets". Items symbolising earth or fire e.g. crystals, stones, quartz , bright lighting etc.. If one reads the messages both in this forum and the resources materials on this website, you will find that not much emphasis is or was given to this concept. The only response or advice given if users asked whether it is acceptable to place such objects at the locations is a `weak' yes because this is still traditional Feng Shui but in a very broad sense, very generalised FS.…

Dear Anon, 1. For the extension, in order for it to be considered an " extension " of the home, it has to be an enclosed space. Not an open space or `shelter'. 2. It is usually not prudent to add an extension unless it is used to `cover' a missing corner. Avoid a protrusion at the wrong compass direction of the house. If there is a missing corner, one can use instead, landscaping for a landed property. 3. From the many analysis done on houses, the centrepoint should usually be clear space. If not clear space, leaving it or not e.g. using the toilet at all is acceptable. (Not ideal but still better than `using' it). The rationale is because the centrepoint is where all th…

Dear Anon, Frankly, I have this to say: 1. Users or practitioners want to `play safe' and advise to use more not less. 2. One must remember that everything is about balance. I have seen lots of cases where even some practitioners advise their clients to place so many `cures' or remedies that resulted in their clients going into problems. I do not wish to see users here `falling' into such problems. 3. I have also advised users to follow the Customer Engineer Concept, where if you are using `cures' to use them selectively or not to use too many at a time. Else you may not be sure of what to do next. 4. Under the Five Elements concept, wood is used to destroy earth (concre…

Further to the earlier message, this combination of stars is pretty interesting:- If Moutain Star #2 and Water Star #7, the significance is:- "Enjoy good wealth during period 7. However, great wealth will result in possible romance. Beware of someone using kindness or romance to cheat you of your wealth."

Dear Cheui May, Grateful, if you can draw a simple sketch as it will be clearer to see/understand. If you can how far is the `threat' and is there a road between your house and your neighbours. If so, roughly how wide is the road? Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. Please post it to the conference for attachments. Thanks in advance.

Dear Anon, In my opinion, one should classify this under a `belief' rather than Feng Shui. (Thus one must be clear between the distinction of Feng Shui and `beliefs'.) Since it is a belief, it is up to the individual to `belief' it can (or cannot) work for the person. To me, there is no harm to place three coins in the account book if one reallys wants to. If I were to say that one must use a gold gilt edge accounts book, do you want to belief what I say. Again, this is a belief as it cannot relate to the five elements. Perhaps, with all the `glitter', when one opens that page, it makes the specific area `bright'. Again, each of us, can only decide for ones-self:) Warmest…

Dear Cheui May, Please see below:- It is difficult to solve a `poison' arrow aimed at the bed. Usually, if the `corner' is aimed at the feet, this is still ok. As for the use of wind chime, it is quite difficult to hang it. Even if you hang it, you may have to hang it at the level `between' you and the `corner'. Since your bedroom is quite big, the option is if you have any simple `partition' that can be placed standing like those `standees' would be acceptable. Otherwise, frankly, at the moment think of any thing that can neutralise the corner without looking odd or sound `practical' or feasible. Warmest Regards, Cecil Yes, this layout is not good. The only thin…

Dear Carina, Please see below:- If you can provide me with a rough sketch e.g. a graphic file attachment it would help. It is very difficult to provide u a `detailed' comment such as whether a corner is at threat or not just on a few sentences. For heat, or heat on the wall and you can still feel it in the evening, there is no Feng Shui method to measure how `inaupicious it is. Where possible, no direct sun light is best or if possible, keep the bed away from the affected wall if possible. So long as the room temperature is comfortable, this is ok. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chrinstine, Many thanks for posting the three pictures. I now can better understand from the pictures: 1. The plot of land where your neighour's house is (i.e. behind your house) has sha qi. 2. As for your house, once, the neighbour's house is up and you have a fence, it will be shielded from the sha qi of the `T' junction. 3. I understand from the picture that there are no trees (as this is a new plot of land). Currently with no trees, the land has sha qi from exposed `wind'. I believe, as more trees are ground around the estate it would be ok. 4. Under Shapes and Form of Feng Shui:- 4.1 A single house should not be surrounded i.e. an `island' of roads on all four s…

Dear Elena, When I have the time, will try to take some pictures. Generally, a good reference is a standing grandfather clock especially those with brass `tick-tock' metal pendulums will do nicely. Alternatively there are some hanging pendulum clocks. Here, try to get those with a `metal' weight pendulum. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, Me being totally new to this site, please forgive any mistake I have made. I am relying completely on the free reports at this time and am considering moving to the more accurate and complete reports.
