General Help

In the past, I had posted some actual case examples of real life Feng Shui done for clients. These samples are still available in the forum. For example, please see attachment. It shows clearly how to integrate the Eight Mansions (rather than Aspirations) with the Flying Star Chart.

Dear Lisa, If you have read previous messages, usually, the fastest way to change to a new period is thru a major renovation. However, based on your description of work done, these are mostly cosmetic changes, thus most likely have not changed qi, yet. Currently, there may be some differences in the thinking as to what constitues a change of qi or period if one does not do a major renovation in the home. However, I will try to explain as best as I can some of the more realistic ways that we can help our home change it's qi:- 1. One school of thought is that unlike a landed property that has a roof, thus often, a large number of practitioner would advise to remove roof…

Dear Kumari, I believe that, you most likely are staying in a hostel. Frankly, it is difficult to `correct' these especially if it is in a `small' room where one has difficulties moving furniture. As a consolation, many have also gone thru the same `situation' as yours and are doing very well. This is not a permanent situation and most of the time you most likely are studying. Furthermore, being young and I believe, with more Yang energy in you. Good Luck in your studies:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, In my opinion, phone numbers are considered secondary and not of primary importance. In addition, there are many definitions of how auspicious or inauspicious a phone number can be. Since more phone numbers have not less than 6 or 7 digits, it would be most likely that there will be many combinations of numbers in our phone number. And some of these numbers may happen to be good or bad. Thus numerology calculations or formulas may defer greatly between many people... For me, I would just brush this aside... and keep my phone number since, many people are already aware of it. Another thing is that if one were to strongly belief on the formula provided; one ma…

Dear Hoa Luong, Personal relationships can be strong. And binding element e.g. in the home may not be able to help much. In your boyfriend's case, try to enhance personal self e.g. wear more green or brown colours. And for yourself, you can reduce your water e.g. wearing red. This should help abit.

The way to improve your luck and reduce any possible clash/harm within the year is to enhance your weak element. ie if you are a weak Metal Ramperson. Therefore, earthand metal element is what is needed to help you improve your luck and reduce any clash.Refer to this five element relationship chart to improve your luck from your favourable colours, direction, shapes and career etc. URL: http://talk.geomancy.net Hope that helps.

Dear Sophia, 1. To be honest, there are many "holes" in your questions. Or there are really limited information to providea good answer. 2a. This is because, in real life, when we provide professional advise, we have to analyse a home based not only only Shapes and Forms of the home, even where the drainage exits from a home. 2b. To other factors, like what Flying Star Period and even the direction of your home. Thus to give you a simple example, if one is staying in a Period 7, Flying Star; North-West home; the current water wealth star #8 is at the centrepoint of the home. And usually such a home has already "SMALL LUCK". 3. Even if one's Eight House prosperity se…

Dear Adrienne, In my opinion, there should not be a major issue as to where it should be placed as overall, it is considered as a `metal' element. Overall, since it is weapon, it should be safely locked up and if possible, the ammunition should be (where possible) kept separate from the gun. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. I understand proper understanding of Feng Shui can be quite confusing. 2. As it is there are authentic Feng Shui theories and many others generated by modern man. 3. Even when we talk about authentic Feng Shui, some can work for MOST of us, some can work for only a FEW people. Others, sounds sensible but may not work all the time. 4. Faced with such a situation, what should we do if we want to continue to apply Feng Shui? 5. The most sensible approach is to: 5.1. Try to apply the theories or concepts that works best for most people. Here, one has to discern and read up. As there are already a huge resources of geninue questions posted and replied on. For th…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Is it advisable to live in an apartment fully round in shape? Generally, a square house is still the best. A fully round shape house will still be considered having missing corners at all 4 corners. So generally, will not be as good as a square shaped house. Furthermore, it will be extremely dificult to put in most furnitures that are basically designed in rectangular shape. The only good thing is being round, it can help defend against most sha qi as the building is like cutting outwards against other building. But generally, better to still stick to a square shaped house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center…

Dear H Kt, 1. Thank you for sharing with us the confusion that arises with wind chimes. Plus the various types of wind chimes. 2. Furthermore, there are so many books written on how `effective' it can be used to enhance our lifes. 3. Generally, in life, we should not have any taboos i.e. if we happen to see something we really like go ahead and get it. However, the `confusion' arise usually, when we INTEND to purchase e.g. the wind chime for the sake of improving our luck etc... 4. Here, more often, we may want to purchase more than 1 wind chime or on the advise of some Feng Shui practitioners, place wind chimes at several locations. In my opinion, I have encountered many…

Dear Jill, Most importantly, if a new condo has been developed (and nearly ready) e.g. waiting for TOP and if we are allowed entry , it is best to bring all family members along to view the unit. Especially try to view the unit in the afternoon e.g. 3 or 4pm to check whether it is affected by the afternoon sun. Do note that because of the earth's axis tilt, there can be a slight shift in the sun's rays every six-months. Units that "soak" in lots of heat ... are practically "unliveable" as it may result in frequent quarrels and also it is not practical or cost effect to turn on the air-con unit all the time. The "rule-of-thumb" usually sets in. Often, needless to say, …

The first picture looks orange colour. If it is ORANGE colour; then I must qualify; for the Chinese, we consider orange colour as = gold. As mentioned many past forum messages; Hokkiens = Orange = Kim or Gold; Cantonese = Orange = Kum which is also refers to gold. And during the 15th days of Chinese New Year, exchanging a pair of oranges = gold. Frankly, I don't know what other races or religion consider orange = if they ever consider it in this way. Thus politically speaking I am Chinese so if you ask me; I second the above!

Dear Anon, 1. I was pondering over your question. Reading it and replying other questions and re-reading it. I literally end up `scratching' my head - not so much as how to answer this type of question but rather, how to do it `effectively'. 2. Anyway, paying homage to a sector or Feng Shui based on life associations or aspirations is not gonna work - for many of us. 3. It does not matter if the `career sector' is in the bedroom or as you had mentioned the toilet. In my opinion, it does not matter. When we apply Feng Shui, we try to apply Feng Shui that can work for most of us. And this is one aspect `paying homage' to a sector or sector Feng Shui.... does not seem to wor…

Hi Anon, Quote: I'd like to find out when is the Qing Ming festival in year 2006. Does Qing Ming always start and end on the same Lunar Calendar dates every year? The start of Qing Ming Festival is always on 4th / 5th / 6th Apr (Western Calendar). Some modern people will start Qing Ming as early as two weeks before, whereas most people will do it within the month of Qing Ming. It can last for as long as 1 month. As such there is no fixed date for the end of the Qing Ming. Start of Qing Ming for 2006 is 5 Apr 2006. Hope that helps.

Dear Elena, Thanks for your remarks. I do agree, totally with what you said:) I currently, have lots of caricatures on other `commonsense' approaches, but overwhelmed with the `time contraints' etc... Will `push' them out, ASAP.. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Frankly, I prefer not to answer this question. If I do, this forum would sound more like a market place than a Traditional Feng Shui forum. Hope you understand. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Hopefully, the red string does not stain or release red colour. Else simply rinse it with soap and water and leave it to dry. 2. In my opinion, although 3 represents wood and under the destructive process of Five elements concept: Metal destroy wood, often, this have very little success. It has more to do with `ren chai' or human luck. We want to believe in feeling lucky, that's all. Equivalent to the notion put to us by many Geomancers' that all of us have a wealth corner in a home. It is only to give us a sense of satifaction. For those who have watched Chinese period dramas or shows - and see the furniture arrangement, have anyone yet to see a show with…

Dear Anon, Frankly, looks like, in-order to replace the mirror it has to be prised /cracked to reply. Actually, I feel that: 1. Often, the first is based on "Common-sense approach". One reason why, it is not favourable to break the glass is because of splinters or shards of glass. Proper cleaning after the removal is OK. 2. Any since the glass is already chipped, so long as you are not the one removing it, I feel that this is OK. Where possible, or a more practical approach is to let the workmen remove-it while you do not see the activity. 3. Here, you are not the one breaking up the glass. 4. If you have not moved-in, yet, it is better! Do all this before your actual m…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Could you please throw some advice on How to find the House Number and Cures for the Bad Numbers. Your advice will benefit all the members of geomancy. I won't go into the calculation details as it is all done by our free report. This report basically is an extension of the Flying Star concept. It's purpose is to assist users to determine which unit number is deemed more auspicious. This is especially useful when there are two units layout exactly the same, except one is one 4th level and another is on 7th level. So this report will be useful to determine which unit wil have better unit number Qi. Since this report is basically an extension…

Dear Michaella, There are two points of view here:- 1. Yin and Yang concept On a superficial level, or based on Yin and Yang concept: Flowers create more Yang than Yin. And in a bedroom, usually, `more' Yin is preferred than Yang in a bedroom. Where Yin environment is considered more conducive for `rest'. However, like the placement of mirrors; some of us feel uncomfortable with mirror(s) facing the bed while for others; it is fine. 2. Balance of the Five elements concept This involves a deeper understanding of the Five elements concept. Here, for example, Flying Star analysis is used to check for any imbalances in a sector (if any). For example, if there is bad earth ele…

Dear Anon, In my opinion, usually, suggestion 2 and 3 are a better solution than suggestion 1. This is because actual water is harder to maintain e.g. algae growth and it could be a hive of baterial growth if water is not changed frequently. And furthermore, since the kitchen is a balance of "hot" (fire) and "cold" (water) such a water urn could also create an imbalance at that sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil
