These are some considerations:- 1. In my opinion, your question is like ebony and ivory: 20 year or annual (full stop). 2. There are a-lot of considerations even if one wants to say which is more powerful. 3. As mentioned under Para 2, there are indeed ALOT of other considerations. Thus for annual or annual cures, it depends on individual homes and the result may not be similar for every Tom, Dick or Harry. Other factors include: Heaven luck, man or human luck factors, philantrophy, education da da da .de de de da da... 3.1. In theory, of course, based on the most timely stars, logically, an academic would claim that annual is "more powerful". Even so, this is considere…

My house that I want to cell is empty now, and we live in another city. Sorry, but Feng Shui is not a miracle cure for all problems. There is nothing you can do to just make your house sell faster. If your house has good feng shui, you maybe can make use of that point to help promote your house as good house to get the interest of buyer. But other than that, there is nothing much feng shui can do to help you. You would be better off relying on the following:- 1) Get a very competent real estate agent with good networking to pr…

Dear Alex, In general, toilet positions at true compass directions including a toilet directly at the North East are considered inauspicious. For example, in building a new home, it would be ideal not to situate the toilet directly at true compass directions such as e.g. 0 degrees - North; 45 degrees - North East; 90 degrees - East and at SE, South, SW, West & NW. One reason is because, the Compass School of Feng Shui places significance to such directions where, each Gua or Kua (Trigram) is located. Where best, the toilet is situated away from these degrees. A more accurate situation is not to locate them especially/particularly the toilet bowl, at 15 degrees increm…

Dear Linda, Linda Han wrote: Is there something that can be done to improve / lessen the problem between the two? Firstly, though there are some clashes/harms between the chart, but they are not considered major as they are like month clashed with hour or day with hour or hour with hour. Major clash are day to day, or year to year. So this are considered minor clashes signifying some occassional conflicts. As a weak water vs strong metal. The binding element is water element. So the more water element present in your relationship such as bedroom colour water element colours (blue/black/gray). This will help to smoothen relationship between the two of you. Hope that he…

Dear Rakesh, 1. This has usually more to do with symbolism or beliefs. 2. The belief is that if one has a ship painting, it should not be of a stormy weather where it may imply that the ship may be caught in a tidal wave or storm and sink. 3. In the above situation, it is not ideal symbolism to have a painting where the ship may sink and relate this to a company where.. the company may go under. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Fred, Usually, it is best to leave it to fate for a baby to be born. In cessarian birth, where the date and time can be predicited, this is still possible. Currently, it is possible to generate a pillars for each date (time would have to be predeterimined each day or left out) but, personally, I do not have the time to generate and analyse on this. Perhaps, we may consider doing this at a later date. Our main concern is currently helping quite alot of people with `problems.' Hope u understand our situation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Shellie, Traditional Feng Shui does not have a simple solution to a problem. We like to emphaise that our main aim is to help users to either fine tune or help elaborate and clear their minds. We do not analyse `raw materials' provided to us. Such as giving us birth dates and expecting us to do all the work. There are available tools for this. Alternatively, we always advise anyone who are in a real hurry, go get a Feng Shui practitioner Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Valerie, This has to be approached from two view points: (1.) Using Intutitive Feng Shui (2.) Using Traditional Feng Shui methods 1. If one do not want to dwell further into Feng Shui, can use the intuitive or their 6th Sense. Under this, so long as the house has had no major problems, such as `happenings' like unnatural deaths etc.. Issues like previous "domestic problems" should not be an issue. Such Sha Qi usually dissipates `fast'. 2. For those who go further i.e. using Feng Shui may, use the Eight House Theory to see where is the best placement of the table i.e. generally checking the auspiciousness or inauspicious sectors. 3. Where possible, the office table p…

Dear John, This question is quite subjective. This is because, from the years of meeting people or hearing feedback, some of us are more tolerant than others. While some people are more sensitive i.e. they feel uncomfortable sleeping with a mirror facing their face or body. Some others, said that they sleep soundly and peacefully. http://www.geomancy.net/polls/index.htm You can check out the results of the survey: Are you comfortable sleeping facing a TV set (mirror)? A short simple 3 questions survey. in the above link to find out user's responses to this question. Each of us, thus may need to make their own judgement as to whether it is true (if possible based on our ow…

1. In some instances, a wind chime is often recommended as a form of "moving" metal especially a 6-hollow rod windchime. (Especially if a sector has bad Flying star numbers with #5 or a combination of #5 with and/or #2 and/or #9.) 2. Sometimes, non-moving metal such as a row of six coins tied with red string is hung above the main door. It all depends on the flying star number(s) particularly the Mountain Star # and Water Star # at the main entrance. In some instances a set of six coins is enough. But in certain cases, alternative "moving metal" may be used. E.g. a common wall clock could be considered. Or those grandfather clock with brass fittings. (Of course some of t…

Dear L.K Wong, lk wong wrote: I would like to ask if it is auspicious to place urns in the lobby of a factory premises? Generally, urns are used in for cremation purpose. So if you view it as something to do with the dead, of course it is inauspicious to have them at any premises. Unless of course, your business is related to cremation then there is no choice. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Wasis, 1. In Feng Shui, the Chinese Loupan can be used as a `ghost' detector. Especially if the middle compass `swings'. 2. Under the Flying Star analysis, by looking at the 9 grids where there are #mountain #water and base numbers with a high concentration of YIN elements, this is most likely a case where there can be a haunting at the sector. This is particularly so, at the sectors North East (Devil's gate) and South West (Devil's back door). The interpretation of the Flying Star numbers can sometimes contain e.g. rope, young lady and red. Here, the interpretation could be a possible suicide e.g. a Young lady dressed in red hung herself. 3. Other methods is based o…

Dear Alison, In the Eight Associations / Life Aspirations, although the West signifies children, this concept is in my opinion is secondary in Feng Shui as it is very generalised. If she still wants to place something there, find something that she really likes. Warmest Regards, Cecil

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Feng Shui is both a "art and science". 2. Unfortunately, if you do hire a geomancer and they only thing of pushing products; then such geomancers are a "suspect". 3. Holistic Feng Shui involves: on-site viewing and understanding of the home and site. And a professional Geomancer uses many of the "tools" to check for "leaks" and also look into ways to enhance a home. 4. Feng Shui is not a cure all. In the past, I have highlighted several circumstances where Feng Shui cannot work. For example, many years back, several "Bubble Tea" sellers with just a capital of US$10,000 could open a "tea drink shop". When asked to Feng Shui their …

Dear Jane, In my opinion, this is the first time I come across the comment that growing money plants would take away luck. Perhaps, some may consider the money plant a vine. This is because, it has the ability to grow roots and cling on to walls. Maybe because of this perception that it may take away luck. Otherwise, in my opinion, there should not be any issue on this. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. If one wants to try to concieve, but unable to, Feng Shui can be used to aid in this attainment. 2. Frankly, for those who have limited knowlege and want to DIY to achieve above, will really have to be on par with a professional Feng Shui consultant's knowlege. 3. Again, let me remind users that this is a Free GENERAL advice forum and not a Free SpecificFeng Shui Consultation forum. It is so easy to give dates of birth and .... wait for an answer to drop down from? Quote: Anonymous wrote: We plan to paint our home ( present it is dry white).

Dear Anon, 1. It is quite understandable with so much information on Feng Shui. Not only the amount of information but how to piece all the puzzle. 2. When one applies Feng Shui, one should apply it as a Holistic approach encompassing all the good `techniques' from the various schools. 3. You mentioned the Eight House and the Flying Star. One more important consideration is also the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui. 4. Usually, most of us, do not have much problems at home or office. But if we do, we should rather `identify' the problem and neutralise it. For some of us, we do not have problems but rather would like to enhance our home: For health, happiness and prospe…

Dear Stella, 1. If you are refering to The Eight House Theory or East/West Group of persons, then here are the steps to better understand the theory:- 1.1 What is the purpose of this theory? 1.2 What is the strength and weakness of this theory. In several of the recent forum messages, I have touched on Para 1.1 and 1.2 on this theory. 2. Overall, this theory simply implies that: For one to benefit from it: One has to spent more time at this location. Thus, it usually applies more (so) if we are looking or house hunting and finding out which house is more suitable for us and in particular what intangible influence it has at locations where we spent time at e.g. the bedroo…

Dear Corinne, 1. The rooster, with its distinctive red crown, could perhaps be thought off by some practitioners as belonging to the fire element. 2. Alternatively, it could also be thought off as a metal element because its sector is West or (Metal element). 3. Frankly, there is no evidence to suggest that a picture of a rooster would be effective to stop the `burring of wealth'. If you like or enjoy the picture, you may consider to place it. 4. But, some Feng Shui practitioners caution that the `rooster' symbolises `fighting cocks'. It is common even till today to see rooster matches and gambling to see which rooster wins. Some of the matches are quite cruel because th…
