Dear Sybil, 1. In your case where the re-roofing and extended kitchen is likely to change the house from a period 6 to period 7 house. Especially if the re-roofing involves completely taking out the roof, insulation and ceiling. This will definately change it to a period 7 house. 3. In feng shui for example, if the stove faces the water position or basin, one can place a mirror on the basin side directly reflecting the stove hob to reflect the fire back to the stove. 4. Since you are not using this sector as a study room, then there is very little you can do here. I mean unless it is a study room then this education/career sector will have good influence otherwise…

Dear Apollo, There are many issues that you will need to check before you can determine what's wrong. Just basing on the animal sign will not be able to tell you anything. ie a. Whether it is your heaven luck entering a bad year b. The house you shift in maybe not suitable c. Or simply have bad house feng shui which adversely impact you, etc. You should make use of the numerous free tools on the website to help determine where is the cause of the problems or leaks. Only when you know what is causing it will it be easy to fix. 2. However, based on what you have provided, since you say after moving to UK, I do presume you actually have a change in house etc. So this is mos…

Dear Anon, 1. Before actually answering your question, I think you first need to know about the difference between the 20-year, yearly and monthly. a. 20-year Base Star - Gives you the permanent influence of that sector depending on when your house was built. b. Yearly Star - Gives you the influence of the Yearly star changes which only impacts that particular year. c. Monthly Star - Gives you the influence of the Monthly star changes which impacts that month. Once you understand this, you will then know that priority is to always fix up the 20-year base star as this impacts the long term. The Yearly only shift some luck slightly for the better or worst. Usually to make i…

Dear Anooja, 1. For star 5 for a period 7 / 8 house in the center isn't a main issue. This is because usually the center is not where most bedroom or any important rooms are located. 2. Usually for center of the house, it should be kept empty as far as possible this is usually where all the different influence will meet at together so not wise to have too much of any elements. 3. A more major issue where some homes are affected with the presence of Star 9 and Star 5 are present at the same sector. This is because Fire will fuel the Earth Star. So this is not a major issue to worry about. http://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_neutral.gif Hope that helps. Warmest R…

Hi, The Eight House concept is based on year of birth, and the gua direction each have an element, so this concept that your gua is Earth is based on that. Whereas ba zi takes into consideration the day, month, year and time of birth. So this is significantly more accurate. The same can also be said for taking the year of birth of the ba zi element rather than the more accurate day of birth element based on the day itself. ie a year can be say Wood year, so by default a very simple analysis is Wood element, but even in the year there is a Water-Wood person, Earth-Wood person etc. That is why the ba zi true element is always taken as the most accurate form of an element as…

Dear Jen, In my opinion, this is a non-issue. http://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_mrgreen.gif Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carolyn, 1. Yes, I can truly sympathise with many new proud owners of (small compact) homes. 2. In my opinion, one major culprit has to do with the compulsory need for a Household shelter a.k.a. bomb shelter. This does not sound comforting to some owners. Last year, one client said that since his unit is at the highest floor, and with the launch of bunker busting smart bombs; he felt safer (in an emergency) at his basement car-park than in his apartment! Worse! - If, the intelligence gathering is so lousy - as anyone could claim that he harbours "bin laden". His unit will be the first to "get-it". 3. This is so especially for new two or three room apartments. 4. Sorr…

Dear Nita, Frankly, this issue has more to do with maintenance or upkeep of the furniture (cupboard) than Feng Shui. Often, broken or nearly broken pieces could further fall off or splinter and this may not be safe. For example, pieces could fall off to the floor and one may accidentally step on it. If there is an issue in replacement, then, provided, also "uglyness" is not an issue, than, simple options are to purchase masking tape or scotch-tape to seal the sharp edges and hold the rest of the mirror together. Later on, than, see whether you can take your time to replace it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Florina, Most of us (unfortunately) have to read too many Feng Shui books. Although some books say that a mirror facing a bed is no good, but, often, this may not be exactly true in the REAL WORLD. For example, in the past, I had given this senario: 1. OK. The book says that when we sleep, our spirit is said to wander out of our body. When it sees the mirror, it gets a shock of it's life. 2. But, how about the situation where, this "spirit" needs to "look into" the mirror i.e. comb hair to look nice before, "flying" off? 3. In our real world, it all boils down to "sensitivity". 4. How sensitive are we? 5. For example, many people can sleep soundly with a mirror facin…

Dear Dawn, In my opinion, there should not be any issue with the keeping of pets. This is particularly good for some, especially who have children who had asked for the pets. House cleaning these pets would (hopefully) inculcate a sense of responsibility. However, many mothers reading this may be shaking their heads. I sympathise with them since, most mothers end up being the "maid". Hopefully, please don't turn into an "OLD-MAID" will do! Frankly, under Feng Shui, there is no issue with pets. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angelina, Yes, it is very common to find windchimes with varying or different lengths. This is perfectly OK. Usually, some of them have clinger or the middle coin attached to it - being too heavy to make any sound. (I suspect only a hurricane or a typhoon sized wind may cause it to make a sound. *JOKE*) The better windchimes are those with alluminium rod with a wooden "roof/support" and a wooden clinger.

Master Lee, I do apologize for the ambiguous way I asked the question, to be specific: North - Family room - Disaster East - 11 year old's b/room - Death SE - Spare b/room - Irritation South - Kitchen - Spook My front door faces the West as I am a in the West House sector as my DOB is 15/08/57, unsure as to the time I was born. I sincerely do appreciate your advice to this predicament. Best wishes, Rory

Dear Hoa, Usually, what you had mentioned has more to do with selecting a name or changing your name. Often rather than using the above to analyse a sector of a home. Thus, the below is often a glimpse of the outcome of after selecting a name and checking it out:- For example case 1: Five Element(2 Wood, 1 Fire, 0 Earth, 2 Metal, 3 Water) Yin & Yang2 Yin, 6 Yang Name HarmonyMetal-Water-Wood = Inauspicious Tian Di Ren Ge4/5 Auspicious Max Luck is 4/5 due to Surname (Tian Ge) Inauspicious Tian Di Ren Ge DetailsTian-Inauspicious, Di-Auspicious, Ren-Auspicious Wai-Auspicious, Shu-Auspicious Name Luck1/5 Auspicious Name Luck Details1 to 12 - Inauspicious 13 to 24…

Thank you sir for your enlightenment. Rdgs.Rich

Dear Anon, Frankly, looks like, in-order to replace the mirror it has to be prised /cracked to reply. Actually, I feel that: 1. Often, the first is based on "Common-sense approach". One reason why, it is not favourable to break the glass is because of splinters or shards of glass. Proper cleaning after the removal is OK. 2. Any since the glass is already chipped, so long as you are not the one removing it, I feel that this is OK. Where possible, or a more practical approach is to let the workmen remove-it while you do not see the activity. 3. Here, you are not the one breaking up the glass. 4. If you have not moved-in, yet, it is better! Do all this before your actual m…

Dear Nisha, It is understandable, when you mentioned that you are only a tenant and would like to have many of your favourite things in your bedroom. Yes, I do encourage you to make first and foremost your room as comfortable with all your favourite things! It does not matter if there are fishes. But, it brings you both pleasure and comfort - GO FOR IT! The logic here is based on this understanding: 1. Often, many good FS practitioners will stick to or advise their clients on the Holy Trinity of Feng Shui: 1.1 Heaven Luck - what is given to us 1.2 Earth Luck - our abode / work place 1.3 Human Luck - what brings us happiness:) Sometimes, for some, we have limited earth luc…

Dear Leon, What you refer to is actually sometimes known as the "Eight-One Combinations". The explanation is that 81 Combinations are fixed detailed description of different combinations as the numbers of the stars comes together. It provides short explanation of the combination effects. For example: MS [8] & WS[6] means Prosperity, good wealth. Geomancy.net Flying star course students, do get a table showing all the meaning of the 81 combinations i.e. 1 with 2 2 with 3 etc.. to 9 with 9 Alternatively, perhaps some authors may have such a table for you. Currently I am very busy, as several new condominiums have TOP such as Gardens @ Bishan and the Maderia and …
