Dear Carlos, Please see below:- In my opinion, in your case, it is best to First-fix-the leak! What you had described i.e. your bedroom falling between NE and E with potent inauspicious combinatins of NE = M5 W9 and E = M5 W9 B5 Are very inauspicious combinations. Where 5 is already bad but fueling it with W9 is equally bad. As mentioned in a similar reply to this type of question, today (forum message): Try to: 1. Avoid using particularly YELLOW (earth) and / or FIRE (Red, pink or purple) within this room. 2. If need to use constant metal e.g. outside the bedroom window with a wind chime or other constant metal or even a glass jar filled with salt /six coins - please…

Dear Phua, Yes, in Singapore, anyone especially middle management staff who are also over 40+ often have difficulty finding another jobhttp://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_sad.gif For the time being, unless you really have another alternative, have no choice but to "REN" or be patient! What is worse-off is without a proper job. Look at it this way, everyone will have to grow old someday and these people who treat the "elderly" will no doubt share the same or even worse fate! When the tough gets going, you simply have to gain courage or even get support from close ones especially family members! But most of all, don't despair! Do your best! Take care! Warmest Rega…

Dear Peter, Can you let me know the Flying Star direction. As some directions can truly consider changing period, while others are not favourable or have to check out whether it can be effective e.g. where is the living room vs the star numbers, centrepoint etc... Alternatively, if you know how to analyse, whether Period 8 is better - then this is the way to go about it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Phua, Please see below: Frankly, I personally feel that plants are ok. I feel that this is kind of a hearsay information. Since miniature bamboo is very popular today: very easy to maintain or nearly no maintenance at all - since it can strive on just a layer of water - easy to fill the container. Look at it this way, cactus have torns so even more "pointed" than this tiny plant. If you are simply looking at it from a Shapes and Forms perspective, than often, it should be placed in the living room - "to be enjoyed". For Flying Star Feng Shui sectors that has water star #8 *current wealth sector* or water star #6 (metal sector) or water star #7 (neutralising t…

Dear Mui Ing, Frankly, although, this may sound uncomfortable, it is not as "bad" as compared to a toilet e.g. toilet bowl on the same wall as the bed-head. This is because, a water position is much like this article: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-under.htm Where the invisible vapours of water could cause cancer. However, for a stove, the only main issue(s) are: 1. If one forgot to switch off the gas. It can affect any room in the whole house. 2. Other than this, usually there is often not a major issue of a stove "affecting" the other side. Since, we do not cook at night and a reasonable thick wall. Frankly, therefore, I do not see it as a major direct threat…

Dear Regina, Frankly, between the two, and if this is a regular (room) and not a storeroom, than often, opening such a room to tother rooms to let in fresh air is often a more sensible approach. Unless we live in a space station, where we can simply seal up a room, than we could go ahead to lock up the room. Opening a room, by having doors opened all round a home would allow for constant fresh air to move or circulate within a home. In Feng Shui, the worst senarios are : suffocationg qi or stale qi especially from a normal room. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Christine, You can use the free Eight Housereport(s) at http://www.geomancy-online.com or alternatively, use the "manual" hyper-links to check your date of birth and then click on the correct Eight House chart under this resource: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Anon, Sorry to hear that your husband need an operation. Actually, in order to find if the date is good or not, the date and time of birth is needed. Anyway, I have credited 6 x monthly auspicious date report into your account. Step-by-step help instruction to access the report is as follows:- http://www.geomancy.net/help/help-myfengshui/help-reports-date-month.htm Since you posted anonymously, I will e-mail you the details privately. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Agnes, Although sometimes, we read that slanted roofs are "inauspicious" but frankly this is very common and in my opinion, do not pose any issue especially if they do not have large beams "falling" down on a bed or a sit. Or large beams can be seen, when we look up directly. You should, try to check out your best sleeping direction or work direction using the Eight House theory, first. Then check to see if these positions can be applied to your bedroom (in relation to the shapes and forms of the room). Under the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, try to, see if the bed / tables/chairs can be positioned "comfortably". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, All these objects have more to do with commercialisation, than Feng Shui. One should take these items as a decorative item. For example, if one is too free, can make an experiment: 1. Mon, Tue, Wed = let it face the main entrance 2. Thurs = face the living room 3. Friday = face NE 4. Saturday = face SE 5. SUNDAY? Hmm... " How about throwing it away?" Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. The morale of the story? " Para 5 - It is a good idea!"

Hi Anon, This isa common situation for most people. However, this isn't the end of the world. 1. What you should be doing is to ensure that the house should suit the breadwinner (your husband). This is because the breadwinner provides for the family, so making sure that the breadwinner fits and suits is most important. 2. So for the bedroom you (the spouse) should then have a higher priority for a suitable bedroom while your husband can have a less suitable bedroom. Also, if possible not to have Death and Disaster if possible. This is how you give and take. Breadwinner takes priority for the main door facing, while the spouse will take better suitability to the bedro…

Dear Anon, Based on the Holy Trinity of Luck, Man (Human) Luck is easier to work on. ie moresocialisation, getting opportunities to meet potential partyetc. This is much better then depending on those items you mentioned, as they are more for decorative purpose. There is no such luck item that will guarantee you romance. You will have to make that effort to give yourself the opportunity for any romance to even start. Just like in ba zi or any romance analysis. Even if you are supposed to have a romance luck say this 10-year period, but if you hardly meet enough person, you are less likely to find someone which you feel you want to live for the rest of your life. Warme…

Dear Agnes, Unfortunately, we do not practise fixed bagua template or often called Black Hat Sect (Tantric). As this is a modern invention and not traditional Feng Shui. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Joan, Yes, the thick headboard/cushion sounds much better than the existing setup. So by all means go for it. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anooja, Frankly, there are many concepts in Feng Shui, so it is ultimately important to understand which one is more important for what situation. 1. Most important for a house is to fix all poison arrows (sha qi) usually the shapes and form concept. 2. Try to balance up all Flying Star inbalances in the house. 3. Try to ensure that colour scheme are suitable to person sleeping in that bedroom, but at the same time colours to be extra careful are like Wood / Earth colours which may inadvertantly activate the bad flying stars. 4. Of course it is ideal to harmonise all the cures, but certain cures takes priority helps you know when to do what. If you follow the a…

Dear Gemini, If one goes strictly by the five element concept: 1. 8 goldfishes plus 1 black 8 represents earth, 1 represent water There is no real beneficial relationship here. 8 Earth is then exhausted by the goldfish (metal), and water later exhaust the metal. Though, it forms Earth - No major significance. Often based on phonetic sounding, 9 or 8 are better sounding. 10 sometimes is referred as 1 and 0 and sometimes people don't like zero. 3. Under period 7, often feng shui masters would recommend 7 + 1. Where 7 is weak metal, 1 is water. And this is a harmonious productive combination. 4. However, under period 8, you might like to consider 6 + 1, which is 6…

Dear Ross, Frankly, a lot of sites which you now see with Time Zone factors are actually created by Modern Feng Shui Masters. In fact, there was no such thing in traditional calcuation. The only true way you should apply timezone is not just by GMT factor, but truely to take the true location factor (ie long. and lat.). However, even this is very dangerous as if you just get one degree off, your analysis will be completely off by a great deal. From our experience, we find that you shouldn't waste too much time to factor in these GMT changes. Why? 1. Most concepts are truely based on like YEAR of birth which by itself is already flawed in that it does not consider day …

Dear Hoa Luong, Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Joan, When faced with such a situation, try to take the opportunity to check if period 8 is better. If it is you might want to consider to fly your house chart to the next period. If not, then water feature is a better option. It is best to place outside the house. This is because Water helps to exhaust Metal and then Metal helps to exhaust the Earth. So it is harmonious. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Elena, Yes, that is indeed correct. In fact the center of the house where all the energy converged, should be left empty if possible.So in this case, it is definately more ideal if you look for another better house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Brandi, Feng Shui is not a mircle cure all. In your case, you should go for medical science iemedical nicotine patch and family pressure etc. These will work much better in this case. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi Anon, I believe, I had just answered this question regarding an earlier post just a few replied before this. It is not abour the air-con ledge, but rather the toilet which was too close to the main door. Having a toilet located very close to the main door is considered bad feng shui. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Rich, For apartment above high floor, it is common that you should take the frontage of your home based on where most light comes into the house. This is often the living room balcony. So stand at your balcony and measure the compass direction and whatever that results. That is where your house frontage will be. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Basically Feng Shui is about maximising all area. Toilet in Center of the house is one factor in the analysis. Though, this isn't considered the best house to have, but as long as you fix up and improve all other luck areas, you can thus offset this inauspicious influence. Frankly, there is usually no way you can change the room into another room due to the way the pipes are laid. This is especially so for an apartment.Frankly, there is very little cures except to improve other areas of your luck. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee
