Dear Anon, The best remedy is based on the concept i.e. if one cannot see it is no longer a `threat'. If possible, a screen should be placed between the stairs and main door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Daniel, 1. The concept: "If one cannot see it, it no longer becomes a threat." applies here. 2. What you basically need to do is to protect your `windows' and the `back door'. What you need to do, is to; if you have a window or back door, stand inside the house facing outwards. If the poison arrow cuts thru or can be seen pointed into the house, this is where the house `becomes' vulnerable. Should there be poison arrows aimed at a window, you can resort to use a thicker curtain or close the windows. For the backdoor, close it when not in use. This is how, we should `protect' our house. Those areas that allow poison arrows to `fly' in. The same should be done to chec…

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 Jeanette, These should be the most important considerations (first):- 1. Sewerage pipe running below the home Try to check where the sewerage pipe / manhole runs in the home. Sometimes, it may run from the frontage towards the back of the home. In such a situation, check to see where possible, it does not run below a bedroom or the living room area. The best or (nice to have) is to have the sewerage system running from the backyard towards, the home. Here, often, toilets should be placed, first. 2. For a two storey home, try to work out the steps for the home. This is because, the number of steps have a significance. Please refer to the attached word d…

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

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!

Hi Cecil and Robert! I'm currently looking for a resale flat as my first home and actually quite like the unique look and convenience of Waterway Terraces. Chanced upon your site while doing research as I think it's important for a home to have good fengshui. I notice that you've picked out some "less bad" units for Waterway Terrace 2 (https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/12776-hdb-punggol-waterway-terraces-ii-premium-flats/), did you do something similar for Waterway Terrace 1? If so, I could not find it! Would love to use that as a reference. Cheers, J

Dear Anon, If the house was built between 1983 to the present, it will still be considered a Period 7 house i.e. no change. Some FS practitioners consider the repainting of the roof (as a means to changing the birth chart of the house). The `significant' thing you mentioned is the replacing of the floor tiles (which to some FS practitioners may consider a change in birth chart. While some FS practitioners consider a change of structure or a major change of birth chart. What is considered a change of birth chart is debateable and has to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. In Flying Star analysis, it is good to plot the birth chart of the two periods (if they are of a dif…

Dear Liz, 1. As mountain star suggest, if you own a home that has a few levels, the mountain star should be activated at the ground level of the house rather than at any upper floors. 2. It should not be activated at the ground level and again at the upper levels. 3. To properly activate a mountain star it should preferablly be at the back of the house or at the backdoor area. 3.1 Imagine that the mountain should be protecting the back of the house. 3.2 One should imagine that the frontage or passage ways should always be of clear space. 3.3 If one wants to activate the mountain star, it can still be done, provided it is available and at the wall that does not have a wind…

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, …

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Pls advise on which birthdate should we use for all kinds of feng shui calculator ( eg. four pillar, kua, bazi, etc ) - the solar ( as in the birth certificate) or chinese lunar date? The online calculators on our website requires the use of your western/gregorian/solar date and time of birth (as defined in your birth certificate). It will then do the necessary conversion to the chinese lunar calendar for any specific analysis. That is why you will see a western and lunar calendar information at the beginning of the report for you to counter check to ensure that the information are correct. Hope that helps.

Dear Elena, 1. More importantly, the centre of the house would be a major consideration. The impact at the middle of the roof, should not be an issue here. 2. In my opinion, you can still place this unit so long as it is on one side of the roof (centrally is acceptable) where possible try to `balance' it equally between the side of the roof. 3. The centrepoint concept applies more towards the interior of the home where centrepoint preferably is clear space. 4. For the roof, so long as your roof is symmetrical, this additional object should not have an impact. Where possible, the piping should not `drip' down to the centrepoint of the house (as this would not be good). It…

Dear Rameshwaran, To cure a missing corner at SW, ideally, it would be best to place a long mirror on one of the walls at SW to symbollically extend it. As you have mentioned, another method is to place a windchime overhead at the corner ceiling to extend it. It is better or preferred to use a 6 rod hollow metal windchime than a wooden windchime. In addition to the above; you may want to consider using Flying Star Feng Shui and apply it to your home. In some instances, depending on the period your house was built and direction of main entrance; there can be sector influences relating to romance `problems'. NOTE: Not all houses may have such combinations but if there are,…

Dear Anooja, 1. For a protrusion, it is good to view it from a top-down approach. 2. Often, hopefully, if one can visualise air-flow into the unit/home, then, things like odd angled protusions, sometimes may create `vortex' or non-smooth air flow e.g. a U shaped building may not often be ideal, here. 3. Frankly, I cannot explain, to those who cannot understand what I said under the above paragraph. 4. For example, if one cannot visualise, then think in-terms of a wind tunnel experiment. Here, smoke is blown towards an object and the relationship of air flow is looked at. Much like cars with drag coeficient of less than 0.29 for cars such as the Audi 100 etc... 5. In Sha…

The other bedroom happens to be my death direction and his prosperity direction. Where should we place our bed? The master bedroom is overall a better direction for both of you. Reason is because if either person is Death or Disaster, then it won't really benefit. At least Spook or Disaster is acceptable. This is especially if the house suits your husband, then even if he has the least favourable room it is fine. The reason is because he will gain luck from the house. The better bedroom luc…

1. Generally, the plot of land is still acceptable under Shapes & Forms Feng Shui especially since the sides of the plot is parallel with each other. 2. Of course other plots especially to the left two plots are broader. However seems acceptable. This reminds me of Vietnamese homes where homes were taxed based on the frontage. Thus Vietnamese homes became one long narrow home. Of course this plot should be much larger then them. 3. Based on 20 Year Period 8, the plot you are looking at should be North West facing and should take advantage of the facing stars otherwise other stars are not so good.

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 Patricia, Yes, in particular, even if your home has a combination of ten, it is good to review the layout plan to see if the home could or could not benefit from a change of Period. For example, as you had mentioned theparticular concern iswhcih part of the home the north #7's fall into. If this is the living room or activityarea orroom, then, one may seriously have to consider "flying" toperiod 8.Again, you need to study the Period 8 chartto see if the layout plan is suitable for activating double auspicous #8 at the South sector as well as other good sectors like SW and West.

1. The most sensible approach, here is based on the concept of Maximizing Marks:- http://www.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks 2. Here, it is good to draw a chart, should one decide to say compare between two or more homes; for example:- Is the main door sector a good sector under Flying Star? Yes / No The master bedroom : Is it good for me under the Eight Mansions and try to check out what is the Eight Mansions in relation to where the toilet, kitchen etc... And under Flying Star, where is the water star #8 located. Is it wasted in the kitchen area? etc... Thus one cans take note how many good points vs bad points for each of the home under some of …

1. Frankly, it is difficult to follow all the descriptions you wrote, below. Quote: Does the building year change where one should place the rooms? 2. I am not sure what you mean by the above.If you are saying that you are relocating or changing place of sleep for family members, than a room is a room is a room. And it does not change the building year.

Hi Anon, True Feng Shui does not really make use of any feng shui items or products. Feng Shui is all about creating a harmonious environment for everyone to life in. This means like ensuring the surrounding and interior of the home are properly layout, furnitures are arranged for best placement, bed placements, colour scheme etc. Such items does not have any magical effect nor do they come with any warranty that says that once you use it, it will bring you wealth or luck in X days. Feel free to wear or use it if you like the item, but do not expect any mircle from it in terms of Feng Shui point of view. Such items we normally classify as Human Luck factor. If it makes…

Dear Butter, 1. There are two alternatives: 1.1 This may not be practical but it is always good to use a good compass with relatively good mass. But if you cannot obtain one or find it not worth the while than follow para 1.2 (see below) 1.2 Method 1, go to an empty plot of land nearby or a grass field (becareful not to wear any jewellery or take a few readings from the grass field incase it does also have metallic objects on the ground. After which, get a layout plan and try to `superimpose' the north-south direction on the layout plan. 1.3 The next alternative is to follow the surveyor's method under this picture:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm Do not tak…
