Dear Lionel, Seems like it is ok. As the toilet is not in the middle but rather close to it. At the ground floor, it is best that the toilet is not located at the frontage of a home. On the second storey, it is preferred that the toilet is not above the main entrance door. Generally, what you had described is pretty common for quite alot of homes and still acceptable. Warmest Regards, Cecil

We got an offer last year, the first day we had an open housebutthe buyers back outand held usupfor almost 30 days.Until the market slows down. Now it's buyers market and real estate slows down.

We tried to make sure it's always clean so we can show it anytime. I am becoming desperate. Please let me know what we should do to sell my house soon hoping not to reach the anniversary month (August).Your advice is greatly apprec…

Dear Tay Jin, tay jin wrote: Can u educate me on this scenario whereby the main door is facing a posion arrow highlighted in red? In such a case, the only two possibility is to either have some plants at the corner of the room. Or to put some kind of partition at the door so that it will block the corner from cutting out to the door. See my attached graphic for an example.

Dear Wasis, 1. Becareful of the placement of dragon figurine or painting. 2. Check the number of claws on it. If there are five, then, it is considered very `yang'. Here, one is not familiar with the dragon (figurine or painting) - one should treat it more like `Ba Gua mirror' and not face inwards of the house. 3. In Hong Kong, it is said that it has nine dragons. Dragon landscape or dragon qi is usually coming from e.g. a hill or landscape and winding down a river or from a hill down to the `sea'. In Hong Kong, a hotel had created an opening from the back thru the glass panels into the sea. Another good example, is `The Sterling' condominium in Singapore. ( Do a search f…

Hi Master Cecil, I need another help with the current house plan. I kind of like the house, but noticed that bedroom 1 door is facing the hallway. What is your view on this plan? Or If I may ask, in your view what is the remedy I can do to the plan. I am still in my house hunting search and yet to find the right one. Thank you.

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 Anon, To be truly honest, it is best for you to consider seeking professional FS advise on this. This is because even for the kitchen, considerations like which part (compass direction) is the kitchen located. For the kitchen, things like certain locations e.g. NW (fire at heaven's gate), kitchen fitting the spouse etc.. have to be considered. Thus, it may sound simple, but these are some of the issues. If no major renovation is done, things like placing mirror(s) in the kitchen are some of the alternatives, used. Besides this, the kitchen may or may not be the direct or major cause of the problem(s). Warmest Regards, Cecil

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 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 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 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, Usually, in such situation we go for Five Element Flow or Harmony. ie. Earth - Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

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 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, 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 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. 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, 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…

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 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…
