Dear All, Here are some questions which we can use as a guideline:- 1. How useful is Shapes and Form Feng Shui? We can make use of Shapes and Form Feng Shui to review our home with regards to the strengths and weakness / threats to our home. If we are choosing a new home, and take full advantage of Shapes and Form FS, we may get a Quantum Leap in Feng Shui LUCK. (This area is worth understanding). But do remember that it is easy to understand but difficult to apply in some instances. 2. Go on the Defensive... Even if a house is considered an EXCELLENT house (by virtue of its EXCELLENT Shapes and Form), this does not mean that such a house does not have a `defect'. The rul…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- In my opinion, it would be more appropriate for your office to be located at South-West (living room). Looks like North-West is the dining room so may not be appropriate or not as advisable. West is a possibility (2nd choice to SW). But in terms of these three alternatives, SW is still the best.

Dear Cecil, My bedroom door is not facing my mom's door. In this case, can I hang or place anything in my bedroom so that my mom doesn't get angry with me so easily? BTW, she only gets angry or furious with me and not with other 3 children. I'm the 2nd daughter, with an elder sister and 2 younger brothers. I think it's the Chinese culture where the second daughter is born to be hated. My last hope is Feng Shui. Please advise.

Ahhh yes, the common sensse approach, and in this case it definately looks like the best approach for this type of corner house indeed. The 2 bagua's pales in comparison to the Meyer house which looks like a Feng Shui Fortress. Thank you for showing me the extent that one can go into protecting one's house. This seems to be very basic common sense but then again, Feng Shui has a lot to do with common sense and I'll have to keep this in mind along with Shape/Forms, Flying Star and 8 House Theory. I've started to become much more aware of houses in the neighborhood that practice Feng Shui, using baguas/keiloons etc which is why I had to ask the question "What are they t…

A row of bush rather than a partition of trees would be a better choice. If you are using trees, they usually end up growing tall and `beyond control' after 3 to 4 years. And a row of trees need to be planted spaced out at least 2 to 3 feet from each other. Depending on the type of tree, they often leave behind a huge area of shadow below the tree making the area, too yin. Contrast this with lower shrubs or bushes or simply, creepers on fencing which are much easier to maintain. Since the water tanks are covered up often this is no longer a major issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cecil Thank you so much for your quick reply. I may have given you the wrong information by attaching a 9-grid chart earlier. In fact, if measuing the main door from the centrepoint of the house, it is still within the NE section. I am attaching a sketch of pie chart for your reference. Based on your earlier reply, if my main door is at East sector, will I still be using the NE flying star chart? Sorry I am indeed very confused. Thanks for your kind advice, I have based on your advice to check on the house leaks. Please refer to my sketch. Are they consider a leak if the main door is opening to a see-through glass wall but not window? What about the mirror in the liv…

Further to what I mentioned earlier, attached please find an illustration (top-view) of the placement of a water position. For the water positon:- 1. Best to avoid ambiguous objects such as a fish with an open mouth and or a frog with an open mouth facing inwards of such a house. Here, this is inauspicious since, such open mouths implies a `hungry fish or frog' that sucks in your already depleted wealth leading to ultimate calamity. 2. If possible, the water feature should have all five elements if possible:- Metal element: circular bowl represents the metal element or a circular ball spouting out water Water element: Needless to say, this is the actual water used in the…

Cecil: I am truly very grateful for your feedback. I do appreciate it and so will my friend. I have always appreciated the immediate response you have always given me. Many thanks and blessings to you and all of yours. Mimi Casavantes

Dear Mr Lee, From the Feng shui Tips and Guidelines conference, mention about 'Protective' main entrance floor tile. 1) Can it be apply to my current situation ? 2) If yes, must the edge be make of floor tiles or any specific materials ? Thanks & Best Regards

Dear Danni, Is there a cure for sick houses? 1. It depends. (On how extensive the renovation is/was). 2. As I do not have a complete picture of how extensive the renovation was against the previous layout, it is difficult to say for sure if there is a cure. 3. In my grandpa's case, there is really no cure; other than to pull it down and rebuilt the home. 4. From your previous description that extensive work was done at ground level... it may seem that way (Para 3) especially if the `head' or profile of the head of the house was `touched' and or became too heavy or disturbed. 5. In my grandpa's example: this is a sterling example that " Flying Star " or " Compass School " …

One day, a man was `furiously' thinking of the `cleanest' way to get rid of his wife. (He was having an affair and his mistress had gave him a `dateline' to get rid of his wife.) The man thought of nearly everything but felt that he would most likely be the suspect! He truly wanted to plan and execute a `perfect crime'. He nearly gave up when, one night, he watched the news of how foreign maids often cleaned windows or put out clothings and accidently fall to their death! Oh! He hit on the idea! YES! My current wife fits this profile! She was a housemaker and her moto is " TOO CLEAN ". The man decided to call a friend to pretend to be a "Feng Shui Master". Since his wif…

yap,ok..now i understand more of the 'white fengshui'. but i still have some things that i dont really understand about hyatt. 1. i notice that the ceiling at the lobby of hyatt hotel lobby is of many 'pyramid' shape, is it design in such a way that it is 'fengshuied'?any reason for being in that shape? 2. there are a few circular items in the hotel lobby like the spiral staircase, the flower pot in the middle of the lobby, the siting area which is infront of the staircase. are all these consider as 'metal' elements?(because you had mentioned before that hyatt is using the combination of 3 elements.) 3.i also noticed that the whole lobby area is actually with timber strip…

Dear Spencer, Since the eight house is based on true compass directions; more importantly: 1. Find the centrepoint of the home. 2. Use a compass to first locate the North-South alignment of the home. Please use the information at: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Here, often the solution is to use a transparency; for example those that can be photocopied using a copier (where the transparency - is heat resistant - meant to go into a photocopier). Just superimpose the layout plan to the layout plan. The direction of the interior unit "follows" where the compass markings goes. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Regina, Frankly, the issue, here is not so much as to whether, the centrepoint is `locked' or blocked but rather what is the outcome with a blocked centrepoint. More importantly, all this boils down fundamentally is, how does it affect the flow of qi (if any) within the home. (especially in a senario) where, we simply open the windows or doors or any points of entry of air-flow into a home. For example, if one can literally afford turning on an air-con in a room, there is not much issue on `stale' qi within such a room since, most of the time, a properly maintained aircon can circulate air (qi) in a room. Again, more importantly, air-flow or simply "wind" comes from …

Yea it is opposite the main entrance door, approx. 6ft away , the mirror is oval approx 2ft 6 inches high x 18 inches in width. I have decided to move the mirror to another wall in the hall. Thank you once again for your assistance I really appreciate your advice. Regards Anne

Dear Sor Lan, Frankly, not sure whether, the ship sails "into" or "out-of" is a sure way to get more money. For sure, the seller of the ship, would instead be garanteed of some profit selling it to us. Anyway, under symbolism, in my opinion, if your ship is laden with gold ingots, I would have to say that it is best to sail "to port" or face inwards to your home. Here, wealth is suppose to come in. On the other hand, if the ship is empty, than, "let it set sail outwards" or pointed out of the home. Do let us know if at the end of the day, do you managed to get more wealth, this wayhttp://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_smile.gif Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anyway, to make it easy, Cecil has already classify some careers into the five element relationship:- Water Career Advertising, Arts, Brewing, Communications, Computers, Drinks, Healing, Laundry, Literature, Manufacturing, Media, Music, Therapy It is not exhaustive, but it should serve as a guide. Just wearing colour isn't good enough. You will need to have more than that to make a weak wood stronger. You need to have as many areas in your life with more water element (ie colours, career, house etc). Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Chee Kheong, It is a strong consideration to move the stove. Since we are just going by description, it is good for you to see the feasibility of this inconsideration with: 1. in the new position, where best the stove does not face the toilet bowl or basin 2. hopefully the new position does not clash with the wash basin or 3. is there a secure solid wall behind the stove 4. how about windy days? Does the postion allow fire to "move-around" or forced-out of the front ... which may cause hurt to the body etc... The above are also some of the considerations before implementing any change. I can only think of the above for now. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Theresa, Ideally, it is best you get a new bed for the new bedroom, rather than move your old bed. However, you can still move your old bedbut you must not be present during when the bed is being moved out of your existing home as well as move into the new home. As long as you are not there in the move, then it is fine to make of the bed in another bedroom. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research
