General Help

Dear Chee Foo, Please see below:- Since your flat is so high, you should take North as the facing direction. Frankly, for a standalone (landed property) home, it is much easier to fly over the new period. Since for the landed property, removing some of the roof-tiles and replacing them (plus cleaning the rest) would help. In my opinion, since we are just begining to change qi, it is better to do what is mentioned by you, perferably one or two months later rather than during this interim `cut-off' period. For an apartment, usually to play safe, one symbolic method is to paint the entire ceiling. This is symbolic of removing the roof of the "apartment". As lion danc…

Respected Sir, Thank you a lot for this informative forum through which I have gained knowledge of trying to balance the elements in sector through flying star fengshui.I was fearful of flying of stars to period 8 but going through your forum eased my worry.A query which is left unanswered is if one uses rectangular aquarium what direction should it face if a stove is also present in this sector in order to avoid conflict of fire & water.Further ,what cure is necessary in the centre area of the house.Please advice

Dear Ng, Recently, there is a similar question on this issue. Please do a SEARCH for " It depends ". Warmest Regards, Cecil Thank Ng C F.

Hi Cecil, Thanks for replying so soon! Really appreciate it. :) Yes, our main gate is actually made of wrought iron with those flowery designs that you usually see. Besides having a "shield" for the bottom portion of the gate, I heard some saying placing some sort of plant around the main gate or common staircase can also remedy the solution. Can you verify if it is true? As my husband is not receptive with the idea of having a shield. As for the dining table, we actually decided to have a water-feature wall erected separating the foyer and the dining room. So that people cannot peek while we are eating. I read somewhere saying that water should be flowing inwards to the …

Dear Niap, Given that East Sector has WS7, vs NE with WS2, it would be more effective if the water position remain at East sector. Since WS7 can benefit with water. While NE with WS2 does not seem to benefit from a water position as there is already a BS1. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Irene, 1. Some Feng Shui practitioners felt that because, from 2004 onwards (for the next 20 years), it is governed by number 8. So, some practitioners say that it is good to have numbers with 8 in it. For example, as part of the handphone no. etc... 2. But honestly, if it is not so easy to find numbers that can come-out (strike) lottery. As it is based on probability or mathematics. 3. With regards to lucky charms and pendants, this is not really Feng Shui, but perhaps, part of "feeling good". 4. Some of feel good because, we have some money, do not know where to put it, but out of impluse, see something we like, we go buy it. 5. Human beings are just like that. Par…

Dear Maria, From the perspective of the Flying Star Compass School, it is advisable to identify the Water Star. For instance, during Period 7, the position of water wealth corresponds to the Water Star = #7. Additionally, during Period 7, it is common to hear references to "double 7's". If you have reviewed some of the discussions in this forum, spanning from several years ago to last year, you will find that this is the optimal location for activating the water star. In Period 8, make an effort to determine the location of the water star #8. If one has even a slight understanding of what I am "referring" to, it is advisable not to inquire about "…

In a Feng Shui audit of say, a landed property, it is also good to take note that one of the water dragon concept is that: Yin water is actually drainage or even a river flow of water from right to left of a home's main enterance. While Yang water is water flowing past the main door from left to right. In modern times, it can also mean vehicles travelling on the road or highway in-front of our home.

Dear Amelia, 1. Yes, I personally feel that the arrangement is OK. 2. This is because, of many us who have children would be aware that when they sleep, they practically roll all over the bed in all directions. So let them be. 3. Don't rob them of their youth:) 4. On the issue of a double-decker bed. In the past, I had posted a message that in my opinion, there is no issue with a double-decker bed. The "misunderstand" arose because some FS practitioners claim that sleeping under a double-decker bed is no good. As it acts like a beam. But, let us look at it logically: 1. double-decker beds was not just invented this year or the last. It has been around for many, many yea…

Dear Alice, In my Applied Feng Shui book, I had listed 3 methods of manually calculating the Gua (Kua) numbers. The reason why 5 is treated as 8 and 2 has to do with the rationale that it occupies the centre position which is the earth element. Thus under the Flying Star Feng Shui, this is why we have what is known as the #5 or Yellow earth (centre quadrant). Under the symbolic animal concept this yellow is represented by a Yellow snake. Under the Pa Che Compass School or Eight House or Flying Star Feng Shui:- 1 = Gua 1 (North) 2 = Gua 2 (South-West) 3 = Gua 3 (East) 4 = Gua 4 (South-East) 5 = Center Square (If male then the number = 2) (If female then the number = 8) 5 i…

Dear Alice, Please see below:- Frankly, this is a "hot" topic. It is best that you make a little effort to exercise your fingers by doing a SEARCH in this forum. I am very sure that you should be able to find the various replies on this topic. For example, why not try SEARCHING for " PERIOD 8". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mei Lee, Generally, it has more to do with "commonsense approach" to Feng Shui. This is because, if the site / slope is "well maintained" it is fine. But in some cases, such as poor piling done and due to heavy (or very heavy rainfall), and if the slope is not protected, we often see pictures on houses on the "hill" breaking up or the slope causing a landslide - coming down to the lower home. Frankly, this is quite rare. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Regina, To side-track a little:- 1. The annual Five The annual #5 falls at the centrepoint of a home. If so, often, leaving it as a "clear space" or walkway is good enough. For those who are duly concerned with it. The rationale is that it would be quite silly to place e.g. a wind chime at this centrepoint. Since, either, most of the time - a regular wind chime, would not chime as much. Even if it does chime, in a home environment, it can get pretty uncomfortable - since - it can affect the welfare of family members e.g. those who need to study or pay attention to work or for sleep. 2. These three variable numbers are not favourable: since #3 affects work or work i…
