General Help

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I dont have much idea of Feng shui... But my husband belives & follows it. I was stucked up at one thing whether Indoor cactus are good or bad? He says it brings bad fortune. Is it true? Plants in general is good. Especially those with flowers. Plants that have torns or sharp branches can indirectly create posion arrows (sha qi). Therefore, like your husband said, it is not as good simply because the it creates lots of torns. What you want in a home is harmony rather than conflicts. Therefore, for this reason it is not so good especially if it is the only plant around. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center …

Dear Anon, I have thought about this issue many times and I feel that it is quite `unethical' to do so... even when I was tempted to do so. Previously, although I had analysed several dates... "fortunately ' or unfortunately", the date of birth did not materialise as the birth was natural. I would at this point in time not make such analysis available. Hope you understand. Overall, for general info, for such an analysis; it would usually involve:- 1. analysing especially the parent's Ba Zi. 2. The child's ba zi. Sorry, I am not able to help you in this area. I do not want to be seemed to play / temper with one's destiny. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Margie, A rectangular bedroom is good. Please see below:- You may still have the bed face the door. But avoid the `coffin position' where one's feet directly faces the bedroom door. This is where the whole body is parallel with the wall and when one enters the bedroom door, see the entire peron's feet and body in a straight line. Otherwise, it is still acceptable for the bed to be facing the bedroom door. It should be that our head should be able to look at the bedroom door and see who is coming in. Yes, you can have the dresser with mirror placed along the side of the bed. And not let it face any part of the bed. This is considered acceptable. Warmest Regar…

Imagine, if this is true:- 1. All Geomancers will be "shaking their legs" while waiting for the beginning of lunar new year! 2. In fact, some people were told to have their premises reviewed "Yearly"! This will be sweet news to the ears of every Geomancer! 2.1 Thus imagine, if a geomancer has 500 new clients every year! And if 50 percent of the 500 new clients asked for their home to be reviewed yearly or even ever 3 years! If we accumulate this 500 to every year of geomancer's service, he will be rich beyond the wildest dream! 3. Thus have anyone heard that a Geomancer only works in the beginning of the year and like bears hibernate the rest of the period? Yes / No?…

Hi Anon, Actually,a house should best fit the breadwinner. If the house fits the breadwinner, it also means that the rest of the family will benefit from the luck of the breadwinner since he earns a living for the entire family. The rest of the family does not need to have the entrance or frontage of the house to fit them individually. As long as, each of the family members have a suitable bedroom in which they draw luck from. So that means that it does not mean that each family member must enter the house using a different entrance (or the entrance that fit them individually). This isn't how this concept should be applied. Feng shui shouldn't be making your life mise…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Could not find any discussion on traveling in different directions and how that effects us. Specifically traveling to country or a city which is in direction of ones death direction. Generally, most people do use this travelling information in this way. I mean to get from one place to another by car or plan, there can only be a certain direction you can travel. So if you follow it strictly like South is Death, that means you completely avoid South. But what if South is the only way to get to your destination? So this is not practical and that is why you do not see anyone following this strictly by the book. Furthermore, for the Eight House di…

Dear Shauuna, The alternative to "such a complicated" situation is to look to the basics of Chinese principles or concepts:. Most of the time, when we start reading books on Chinese principles and concepts, we will always find:- Uppermost level: Taichi Upper (branch) level : Yin and Yang concept Lower (branch) level: The Five elements concept. What you are trying to "meddle" or "fine tuning" is under the Five elements concept. In a "very complicated" case or sometimes we humans make it so..so ...so complicated... that doing something will impact on the other. Such as... "but I'm afraid that will boost the 9 giving fuel to the 5." There are two possibilities:- 1. Wh…

Sorry to hear about your situation. 1. It is best that you feedback to your existing local geomancer. And ask the person for further advice as it is not like posting a few lines of text and then "worse-still" expect a miracle to happen. 2. Even if you have been reading resources; it does not mean that it can be "wholesale" applied towards your situation: The saying goes: "a little knowledge is dangerous".

Dear Anon, If one has a recurrent medical problem, it would be advisable to do a Flying Star analysis, to find out further if one is really sleeping under a sickness or misfortune sector. If there is a sickness sector, usually the appropriate cure, should reduce the problem or eliminate it. This is because, the Eight House, cannot tell you about it even it happens to be one of your good sectors under this theory. As for a magnetic pad, it would depend on the nature of the magnetic properties (intensity) and the claims made by the producer of it. If the `claim' is that it can cure arthritis but after sometime, you still have this problem, or instead, giving other problems…

Dear Elena, If you have not stayed at the house yet, you can get the contractor to paint the entire house. The `worse' effect is if one digs the ground at the Tai Sui's current location or knocks down the wall at the location. This is the main concerned as compared to painting the wall. I would go ahead to paint the entire house but (out of Chinese custom) avoid being at the location when the house/that sector has been painted. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The purpose is to tie the coins securely. I believe you can use one set of string it with. If you need more than that, then get a thicker and longer string. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, When I have the time, I will take pictures of some examples. Do take note that when I mentioned basin (apologies) it is not literally a basin but:- 1. The area is a natural area which is slightly lower than the roads or main roads leading to it. 2. Sometimes, the main roads have been `raised' a few metres higher. Or due to it's natural profile, roads or main roads are built on these higher ground. And houses within it is acessible at a lower level. 3. In some instances, yes, without proper irrigation and when there is an exceptionally high tide, places like " Opera estate " did e.g. once in 20 years had flooding problem. In recent years, the government had bui…

If so, what to do? Anonymous wrote: Overall, is there anything wrong with the feng shui of my main door direction? The only good news I can tell you is that the corner at that location cuts away from the main door towards more to the wall of your storeroom. So it does not really cut into your main door. However, even though it does not cut directly at your main door, it still poise as a thread to your home you can still view the corner from your home. One way isinstall a gate t…

Dear Rae, 1. I am glad that your fish is getting well. 2. Frankly, I am no expert on fishes /fish tank. Perhaps, I feel that (my guess) that it could be that there is high level of oxigent content in the fish tank. 3. Since everything is OK even with the green algae, try to monitor the situation. Let me relate to you an incident: 4. Many years ago, one of my friends related to me that their home (landed property) had a orange (clay) roof. After sometime, because of the fallen leaves on it, parts of the roof turned/covered with greenish material. At the time when the roof started to turn greenish, it seems that luck began to pour into their home i.e. his father was lucky i…

Dear Angela, Angela Le wrote: I was wonder how bad is it really to have a bathroom in the center of the house because most floor plans have bathrooms near the center of the home. Also, is it still bad to have the main entrance face a fire place even if the fireplace is at an angle. Basically, once you walk into the house you do see the fireplace, but just a side of it. The fireplace is actually at a corner.Finally, Is it bad for me if my excellent is NE and my husband is SW for us to have a house that indents in the front area. For example our front exterior is like a U shape. I have included a picture. If we get a house that faces NE or SW with that shape of the house, …

Dear Rus Chua, Rus Chua wrote: I am now 15 week pregnant with my first child.I wonder if it is alright for me to do some carpentry works such as construct a built-in cabinet and install a new double decker junior bed set in the children room? I also plan to discard the existing furniture. Frankly, this is not recommended. This is because most chinese believes feel that having to deal with nails or sharp tools can often lead to miscarriage. So not really a good idea for you to participate in carpentry works. Best to leave it to other family members in the house or wait until you have given birth. Rus Chua wrote: I would also like to seek professional help in choosing the…

Dear Deborah, It would be nice if you can draw a sketch or use a paint program to draw and save as a .jpg or .bmp or .gif:- 1. A sketch of the house (if possible, proportionate such as where is the main entrance and the T junction) and roughly can see the distance of the ancient well and how far it is to the house i.e to the right, left or centre?. Roughly how deep it is. I hope you can understand that without a clear look at the outline such as the impact on the main door, any gradient. (I hope I am not asking too much but if it is not a sketch, it can be alternatively pictures). Apologise, if I asked too much. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Daniel, Glad to see you around. 1. 25 computers is indeed alot in a concentrated `classroom'. 2. The best objects are still real plants. This is so far the `best' neutralising element but may not be practical to be implemented. Wishing you all the best in your studies:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

There is one commonsense concept which Shapes and Forms Feng Shui considers critical: "Bright Hall" or "Ming Tang". This simply means that if possible the area around the entrance (or facing direction) should have "clear unblocked space". This simply means that there is some lighting best would be natural lighting at the front area. Another purpose is to allow qi to collect within the area. Even if there are steps leading down but based on the vague info, you did mentioned that there is something like 2 metre space = which I attribute to some form of a "bright hall". Which is acceptable. Not the best, but may be acceptable. Contrast this to some old buildings where the…
