Dear Anon, Nowadays, many of us immediately associate Feng Shui merely with the interior decor of a home. But this is far from the truth. For example, I refer to Dr Evelyn Lip's book "Chinese Geomancy - A layman's guide" Page 7:- Quote from her book: "There are three types of sha or sand which the geomaner looks for. These are represented by the various "star" symbols. The Star of Fire represents sand that has a sharp and cutting edge while the Star of Wood is sand that is round and straight. Sand that is long and round is called the Star of gold, whilst sand that forms a wave-like pattern is called the Star of Earth. Once the quality is sand is determined and classi…

Dear Anon, Perhaps, you may consider a potted plant. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sandra, Where possible, the pool should not be circle or circular shape. Since the tiger is considered as a "white" or metal tiger, often a line of plants can be used, here. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Iris, As stated in the report that it should not be interpreted too seriously. Since this is a vertical Flying Star Feng Shui. Most of the time, it is used merely to compare a situation where: We are interested in buying a unit in a specific block e.g. block 15. And since there are available units #5-15 , #6-15, #8-15, this report is used to look at the qi flow within each of these units. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lisa, Please see below:-

Dear AC, 1. As mentioned in my previous message, it is generally considered as a leak i.e. especially if the WC /sewerage line is found at the frontage toilet. But if the toilet has a half-bathroom i.e. generally only for bathing or shower, and no WC, then, it is a non-issue. 2. Be-careful of where the Grand Duke location is and also the 2nd direction of where not to renovate the home during this lunar year of the monkey: Do check that the renovation works should not be carried out at either: 1. West-South-West at 240 degrees 2. South If you are doing the renovation works for next Rooster Year 2005, then these locations are taboo:- A. West at 270 degrees or B. East…

Dear Emily, In my opinion, it is acceptable to leave it there and not to remove the singular windchime. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear K T, Unfortunately, everyone is supposed to be born with a certain destiny path. For some people, the big luck (ie 10-year luck) luck is always with him, such person will normally find that whatever they do, things will always work out for them, with minimal effort. However, for majority of us, luck isn't always with us. This means that we have to work extra extra hard as compared to those lucky few who have luck with them. There is no way you can change this. You can however, attempt to improve it by creating an environment with as many areas in your life being favourable to you. ie a weak Wood, will need more Water and Wood. This means that you need to try to ha…

Dear Satori, To be honest, this resource is meant for one who is contemplating designing a new home. But once, the "steps are formed" or had been laid, there is not much one can do to change it unless -- one resorts to a major reno - which is not practical. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Frankly, so long as you try to do minor renovations or do if possible do it piecemeal i.e. renovation a few locations at a time e..g not more than 1/4 of the home, usually your home would not fly into the new period. Thus, if you need to change the carpet, see if it is possible or feasible to do them piecemeal:-

Dear Satori, Frankly, there is no harm in placing a rug. Perhaps, this is more like taking a "sugar-coated" pill. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Truly, in this case, you really have not much place left for an office. For most office, so long as it is well ventillated e.g. with air-con. This is OK. However, if (last resort) you are using your home bomb shelter, one can still do so so long as there is also sufficent ventilation and lighting. Frankly, often, the rubbish cute is closed when not in use. Not a major issue. Therefore, if you really have no choice, do try it out first and see how it goes, here. Of-course, if there are any other choice e.g. using the living room - where one can see the day - night, this is much the bette…

Dear Anon, Unless the back of the house is the frontage, if not there is often no significance attached to it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In my opinion, this can be quite "tricky". For example, if it involves a major renovation to get the entire basement upgraded, there is a likely chance that your home can change to period 8. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mitesh, To be truly honest, it is best that you confide your problem with a close family member or even a friend. Especially at this time of need. Or do seek help from a voluntary org. in your country. Generally, many of us do encounter relationship problems and as mentioned above, try to confide in someone to hear your problems. Take care! Cecil

Dear Ashwini, Please see below:-

Dear Vincent, I would agree with you that central palace could most likely still be a Period 7 especially if there is no major renovations done on or after CNY 2004. For example, if you had not done any major renovations or if the existing owners did not do any major renovations; or if there are no major renovations done on the external also, then normally it is best to consider your home as a Period 7. However, after taking over the apartment this year, if you had done a major renovation, then your apartment can be considered as a Period 8. In my opinion, if you did not do a major renovation, it should be considered as a Period 7 analysis. Early this year, there we…

Dear Ana, One alternative is to e-mail to support@geomancy.net Afterwhich, I can help to upload to this forum. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ling Ling, Please see below:- Often if no screen or partition is used, simply closing that particular window is ok. But if the window is left open, then a blind could be "poor alternative". Avoid bright yellow or cream or beige especially in the bedroom or bright red or pink in the master bedroom. This could be the colour of the walls or curtains or bedsheet.

Dear Mitesh, To be truly honest, this has more to do with relationships, then Feng Shui. From my opinon, usually, if a relationship has carried on for more than 3 years, sometimes, maybe things got taken for granted or "turned dull". It is best that you discuss especially with someone close what could have gone wrong. Or alternatively see if you can first understand what really made you leave her. It takes two hands to clap and often even if there is a third party, there is usually a trigger point for her to just leave you. If she still loves you, perhaps, as mentioned above, see what went wrong and if possible try to win her over again. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In Feng Shui, we should often look at the "bigger" picture of things. A bed frame can be made of wood or metal; often this does not really matter. In fact, it does not really matter if the bed frame is made of different types of wood - so long as they can "last" or worth the amount it is being paid for. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Anon, Generally, for Eight House concept, you have to apply them as follows especially for two person with completely oppose charts:- 1. Usually you try to ensure that the breadwinner (the head of the house), has a suitable house facing direction. 2. The spouse should next be given a better direction given that the breadwinner now has a better house suitability. 3. The bed position should still be placed based on the shapes and form placement ie the bed should be placed such that you can see the main door and window. This should be ideal position. 4. Only when the above conditions are met, then you can fine tune the sleeping position if possible. Sometimes this is…

Dear Anon, 1. You will first have to identify where is your major leaks first. A. Is it a problem with your heaven luck (ba zi) which is in a very bad 10-year/5-year/year? B. Is the problem because of your Earth Luck (house feng shui)? The reason I ask this is because unless you know where the problem is from, it is hard for anyone to advice you on what you can do. 2. If it is your ba zi, then it could mean that say if you are a weak Wood person, you have nearly everything in your live which is against you, ie a unfavourable element house (ie Metal - West facing house), a career such as Metal (Finance), and very bad ba zi luck period. If this is the case, then yo…

Dear K T,

Dear K T, You should try to re-access the paid online report if you had not done so. The latest version with the Executive Summary will make that period more clearly as it will try to explain potential issues you might encounter especially if clashes / harms / punishment are found. Generally, you need to know that:- 1. Clashes Clashes are the worst impact on a chart. Depending on whether there are heavenly stem such as Main Funds (Health), Wealth (Financial)or so, it might usually mean health or wealth impact. Any clash especially if found with the Day, Month & Year are considered major clashes. 2. Harms These are sort of like obstacles which you have to overco…
