Dear Anon, To be truly honest, it is better to check on other means, than Feng Shui. As I have often mentioned, that Feng Shui is not a cure all. The rationale is because, often, we hear that for banks, they would prefer one to use a signature for an account especially if one reaches a certain age. Here, the implication is that when we reach a certain age, we already almost have a fixed style. Here, our temperment, outlook and even how we relate to our family members have already firmed up over the 17 years. And, it is difficult to directly change it from a Feng Shui point of use. Lest one becomes accused of becoming a Quack Feng Shui practitioner. Given this understa…

Dear Stan, Frankly, I believe many people would agree with me that we should use the words " It depends". This is because, in Singapore, there are all sorts of "failures": For example: 1. Some people are greedy and dabble into stocks and shares beyond their means. (Not all, but some) 2. Some Singaporeans, go into "silly" businesses or unimaginative business. For example: into bubble tea business or business that they think will work - but often, cannot. 3. Singapore is such a tiny country. With a small market share. And I believe there was some report that a large percentage of business failure in Singapore due in part to this small market and other factors e.g. hig…

Dear Emily, It is best to understand some of these concepts: 1. What is a quantum leap in Feng Shui? Many good homes are simply (good homes). But homes that have a quantum leap are those that "suck" wealth from other homes or the environment. More? Please do a SEARCH for Quantum Leap in this forum or review some of the resources found under this site's "Can or cannot buy resources". Appreciate - don't ask me to explain from fresh what quantum leap is all about. 2. The above points to the clue that what makes or break a good home is the external environment such as an audit of the External environment, the site and the property itself. 3. Under Para 2, we should try…

Dear Anon, 1. After reading your past message, looks like your husband is into fish rearing in a "big way" given that there is something like5 fish tanks in your 4 room apartment. 2. In such a situation, you may have to go on a "hobbist approach" vs looking at it from the compass school of Feng Shui e.g. Flying Star Feng Shui, which you perhaps, do not have any knowledge at all. For Flying Star Feng Shui, the best approach is that if you want to find out more, feel free to search further into the topic. As it would not be fair to go into it in this or other message. Since, such topics can easily be found if one - exercise their fingers hard enough. Given that this is a …

Dear Joan, In the Feng Shui point of view, this is considered inasupicious. Especially, if one sleeps "sandwiched" between two concrete columns or beams: In particularit depends on the size of the beams as well as the distance between it from the bed. And also, the shape of the beam. If the beam is squarish or rectangular in shape, there is an added "sha qi" or poison arrow aimed towards the bed. In the case of the wooden cabinet, it would also depend on one's comfort level. For example, whenever you sleep on the bed, do you feel comfortable? Can sleep properly or not. Some of this aspect also has to do with the condition on one's mind.

Dear Vivien, Please see below:- Usually, many FS practitioners consider the frontage as the location where: 1. there is often "clear space". For example, such as often, the car drives up to the front of the home (and /or) 2. There is a noticeable distinction of having a living room at the frontage and where often, the back is much part of the kitchen/ storeroom/backyard / laundry area. 3. Often also, if a home is "back-to-back" with one another, many homes have their back with the back of it's neighbour's home. 4. Please note that the above is not conclusive but rather, it depends on each individual situation. But it should be quite a reasonble guide. 6.…

Dear Rich, In my view, it is generally advisable to refrain from applying the concepts of the Eight Aspirations or Life associations, such as SW equating to the romance sector, etc. Moreover, if the toilet happens to obstruct our romantic endeavors, it signifies a definitive end; we are indeed in a precarious situation! Let us consider an alternative viewpoint. Frequently, the toilet transcends the mere notion of the "THRONE" or the WC, which I refer to as the equivalent of the toilet bowl. In reality, numerous master bathrooms not only feature showers but some even include jacuzzis and bathtubs! Envision this! I firmly believe that in this world,…

Dear Elena, To be truly honest, Feng Shui is not a cure all. In my opinion, this has more to do with man/human relationship issues. And I personally feel other feels have a better success rate in analysing and finding a better solution to your son's problems. For example, things like getting someone who is closer to your son to understand his needs (frustrations) better. For example, teachers or someone your son had often confided etc.. Often, there is also two sides of the coin on this issue and we need to understand, what went "wrong" and how to proceed in a "stable" manner. Or if family members are unable to do so, it is better to seek some professional advise or …

Dear Anon,

Dear Anon, Frankly, it depends. This is because if one is the boss, than, one can easily face either way and no one can "talk-bad-about" us. For example, in Singapore, a person or the boss who usually has his own personal room, often employs a FS practitioner to best orientate his/her office table. And many staff under him or even the entire company is aware that he/she has engaged a practitioner to look at the best position of office and his specific room arrangement. However, if one does it alone; for example, if the rest of the colleagues face a specific direction, then, it would be best that you (the person) face a smiliar position. Since, facing a different dire…

Dear Peter, 1. Yes, in your situation, Shapes and Forms would often prevail over our best position - based on the Eight House theory. 2. Even if our facing direction is not favourable, it would be worse off to sit with our back against a door. (Especially if the door is frequently used). 3. One can draw a parallel to the "modern" house-hunter. Nowadays, for example, many breadwinners belong to the West house group. And just because, they read that West directions are the most favourable for them. As a result, especially in Singapore, there are many people who continue to buy homes that face west or east-west or have bedrooms at the west. Without realising that the…

Dear Anon, I believe there are two sides of the "coin": 1. Usually, on one side of the coin, even if we are correct, the person who owns the house has a major say or decision. 2. In my opinion, to equate South = fire element is quite a raw analysis. And therefore, should not be relied on totally. 3. Under the Traditional Feng Shui, when painting a room, it is based on two steps: 3.1 Flying Star of that specific sector Under the Flying Star theory, it does not mean that South = fire and fire is at this sector. Contrary to this, it is best to look at the relationships of all three elements : MS # with WS # with Base #. And work out what is the element either absent or…

Dear Elena, Frankly, in the past, many FS practitioners are concerned about corner units - especially units that are "hidden" from view. This was because, perhaps, if the home is in a undeveloped area, it was felt that such a home may be affected by "theft" or thieves climbing into the home. Therefore, the above is based on such a commonsense approach to Feng Shui.But nowadays, with modern survillenance anddeterent, such as survillenance equipment and active or passive safe-guard, this is no longer a major issue. More importantly, under the "Water Classic", it is good to check out that water can flow or be seen to flow into the front of the home. But, behind the home,…

Hi Anon, What you need to remember here is that we follow Animal signs based on the Chinese Horoscope. This means we based the animal signs on the Chinese Lunar Calanedar. 23 Jan 1974 to 10 Feb 1975 - Tiger 11 Feb 1975 to 30 Jan 1976 - Rabbit This means that if you are born before 10 Feb 1975 you are a Tiger, if you are born after 11 Feb 1975 you are then officially a Rabbit. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi Anon, Unfortunately, not all problems or leaks will have a solution, in this case you will not be able to change the location of the toilet or main door entrance. So only thing you can to is to attempt to improve all other areas so as to offset this issue. Remember that Feng Shui is like taking an exam. Failing one question out of 20 will not mean that you will fail badly. Just like Feng Shui one leak will not mean it is a bad house. So in such cases where there is a leak that cannot be fixed, you should then attempt to correct other leaks so as to offset it. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Yes, that is how you would superimpose the Eight House chart over your layout plan. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi Robert What about not using that Toilet (W.C.) or lock it up which is very near to the main entrance? Will this help? Thanks.

Dear Mr Lee May I ask what happens if the weaken metal (in my case double 7) is in the bedroom (base 3, yr 1), which I cannot possible put a water feature there. What should I do? Can I change bedsheet to blue? Fire can exhaust metal correct? So should I paint the wall pink or put a red rug on the floor? Awaiting your valued advice. Thank You Em free-advice Listmanager wrote: From: "Robert Lee" Dear Hoa Luong, The best water element feature is a water feature like fountain.
