General Help

Dear Sophia, In my opinion, it is acceptable to paint in the 9th lunar month. Some, however do select an auspicious date to start reno (repainting). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Usually there are two ways of looking at the colour scheme of a bedroom or room:- A simplistic view:- This is by way of checking the family member's ba zi element and strength. For example, if the child or person occupying the bedroom is a weak water person, then the best colour for the bedroom is based on two colours:- 1. Metal (white or gold) 2. Water (blue, black or grey) In the above example, the room can be painted in neutral white. And curtains or bedsheets in blue or say grey, in colour. In a higher dimension of Feng Shui, the Flying star Feng shui is also combined to look at the bedroom. For example, say the person who is staying in the bedroom…

Dear Edwin, Please see below:- However, Flying Star is but only one of the theories. Another key element would be the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. For example, most likey, your home has favourable or relatively good Shapes and Forms. And Shapes and Forms together with Flying star Feng shui combined together seems to (perhaps) help aid your home Feng Shui. Contrast this (perhaps again) with some other homes that may have good Flying star Feng Shui but bad Shapes and forms. Thus, the situation may not be the same, overall. Sometimes, we go to some Feng Shui sites and they give very flowerly names to number e.g. Purple = #9 or Yellow = #5. Anyway, again, all…

Dear Amy, No, removing the trees (external) does not change the Flying star qi. However, this year, the Grand Duke of Jupiter is at compass degree SSW. And removing the tree(s) at SW may not be a responsible thing to do. Given that one should not distrub the Grand Duke at his present location. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cindy, Based on what you had mentioned, it would make more sense to use the sw247. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sophia, 1. 6 (SIX) represents "big metal" and this is why, it is commonly used as a "cure" to neutralise e.g. #2 (sickness) or #3 or #4 (bad wood - career, lawsuits, scandals, education, romance type of issues) 2. Since we are now under the influence of Period 8, there is now a surge of anything to do with the number 8. Previously, the phonetic sound of "8" is particulary very auspicious especially for the Cantonese dialect group. 3. But now, many would like to hear that 8 is a good or SUPPOSE to be a very auspicious number under Period 8. 4. However, if we stick purely to the academic line of the Flying Star School of Feng Shui:- 6 = metal element 8 = earth el…

Dear Sandy, Yes, it makes practical sense for the 4-poster bed to be covered with fabric or lace. - OK, no issue. As it makes it easy to "maintain" i.e. wash and re-use again. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Danny, Have u taken into consideration both partners (husband and wife) if you have two parties in the masterbedroom. Without any major renovation, it is best to look at the bedroom - with first priority on the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. As the owner of the home, it is still best to occupy the master bedroom instead of using the study as the master bedroom - (first priority, here). Under the Eight House Theory, there is not much one can do, since it is a fixed idea or concept. Actually, the "bad influence" or rather it can belooked at by applying Flying Star Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rose, 1. Firstly, although white is associated with the metal element, generally, it is a very safe colour to paint, since it is also a neutral colour for the home. (Even though both of you are considered as a strong water person - it is ok). 2. Traditionally, therefore, white is a neutral and pleasant color. 3. In general, under period 8, pastel shades of earth colors like beige is usually a better option since it is the "color" of Period 8. 4. So, in general both colors are acceptable. 5. In order to fly to period 8, one may have to remove a portion of the roof or change some of the roof-tiles of the home. In an apartment, symbolically one change to period 8, …

Dear Ann, I strongly believe that there are more sectors that need balancing also. However, for a #3, #9 and #7 combination, it is not too good an idea to use water here:- 1. #3 is a bad wood element. And water helps to further fuel bad wood! 2. #9 is under Period 8, the "Future prosperity star" and if it is also the ws#9, then avoid adding water! This is because 9 = fire element. And adding water would drown your "future prosperity". 3. #7. Actually, #7 is a weak metal. And can easily be exhausted when it takes care of #3 bad wood. (Here, metal destroys wood or exhausts it.) In fact, #9 is also used to control #7. Thus, a water position is not an ideal thing to us…

Dear William, Frankly, there is no harm in hanging a painting of guan yin facing the main door. Usually, it is hang in the living room area. Although the painting of guan yin does not have it's eyes "dotted", it is still best to avoid:- 1. letting the painting face the dining table 2. have it's back to a toilet wall or share a toilet wall 3. avoid facing into any of the bedrooms. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, A relationship needs two hands to clap. However, since both of you still love each other, it is best to find out what is wrong. (But not sure how to, it is best to get professional help or assistance in this area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Hong, Since you have accepted to keep the mask and violin bow, it is best to e.g. wrap them up (if not done so already) in newspaper and keep it in a store room - not display it. It is good that you have rejected the purse. Do check when their renovations are over and more importantly, when are they collecting it back. Avoid displaying these two items in your home or visible in the living room. Usually, if one has a Chinese Loupan, any objects that harbour any "illl effects" can make the Loupan compass needle sway in different directions. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Usually for each sharp pointed design aimed at your flat, there is not much choice but to counter it. Thus, if there is one sharp pointed edge pointed at a specific window, one mirror can be used there. But if there is another sharp pointed object, another one should be used at another window. There is really not much choice, here. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Josephine, If the home is facing 75 degrees then under Flying Star Feng Shui, it is considered as a East 1 chart. Currently, this home is considered as a Period 7 home, E1. If the home is maintained (no major renovations done), then this home can take advantage of #8 i..e. a water position at NE (water star #8) and SE (which has an auspicious mountain star #8 at this sector) to boost the wealth of the home. Other then this, one may consider "flying the home to Period 8, depending on the interior layout and star chart numbers of Period 8 to see if it is better than the current Period 7 chart. From the Shapes and forms point of view, the home is relatively in a "g…

Dear Sophia, Please see below:-

Dear Anon, Actually, when we consider luck under metaphysics (Geomancy), we should look at it from a holistic approach involving three types of luck:- Previously, I have already mentioned about three kinds of luck:- 1. Heaven Luck (known as Luck that was given to us when we are born) If we can see our Ba Zi chart, it comes under the category known as Pian Cai or "lottery or windfall" luck. Some of us are quite lucky while others do not have this type of luck at all. Worse, some of us have this luck only when we are at death bed e.g. 99 or 100 years old! 2. Earth Luck (or commonly known as Feng Shui) While some of us many not have Pian cai or lottery luck, some of u…

Dear Anon, 1. In my most recent posting, I elaborated on the Holy Trinity of Luck (Geomancy Luck). 2. The single most abused thing in Geomancy today has to do with a marketing ploy for us to purchase "stuffs". 3. If we analyse carefully, this area or the sale of products comes under Human or man luck. 4. The reason why products are touted today is that Geomancers will try to squeeze out as much as they can out of our (hard earned) money to "sell" or "promote" products. 5.Thus, many of us who had visitedFeng Shui sites before will come to expect that site has a products page with all sorts of products for sale. 6. Actually, such products costs very little to produce.…

Dear Anon, Based on your description (below), it does not sound serious. This is because it does not seem that the old tree "slices" into the main door nor the front gate. So long as it does not "slice" thru a window, this is perfectly acceptable given also that the tree is across the street. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mei, Please click on the attachment for a sample report on how to: 1. draw a centre grid of a home 2. place the study or work table to face either Prosperity or Excellent sector. 3. In the attachment:- 3.1 you can see a MR ABC. His best work directions are North (Excellent) and East (Prosperity). 3.2 He decides to use the middle bedroom for his work or study. 3.3 In the sample report, one can see that he can either place his work/study table facing North or East or both. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ann, For some Chinese, they would consider using the Ba Gua mirror. However, even if one places a potted plant as what you had mentioned, unfortunately, the staircase is still in full view thus such a remedy may not work properly. Frankly, when confronted with such an issue, it is very difficult to resolve it since the underlining thing is "if it cannot be seen, it no longer becomes a threat" cannot be fulfilled. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- I must truly say, you are truly a very good and concerned daughter-in-law! Warmest Regards, Cecil
