Dear David, Earth is usually represented by Yellow or any shades of Yellow. Darker shades of Brown is often considered wood. Lighter shades of Brown more towards Yellow is Earth. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee - GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Maria, Unfortunately, not everyone are cut out to do business. There are people with very good business acumen others are simply not cut out to do business at all. Business success or failure depends on the business model and the demand and supply of the business. If you choose a wrong business to enter, even the best business person may not be able to make it work. Furthermore, in today's society, it isn't easy to start a business that will be successful. This is because if you create a business that is so successful, competition will follow and you will have less and less to make. So I won't feel too disappointed. That's life. However, if you work hard for it, …

Dear Terri, In terms of selling a house, there is very little you can do using Feng Shui except to make the house look nice and clean and make a list of what are the benefits (ie near MRT etc). The only thing you can use Feng Shui if there are any good benefits based on feng shui to add value. Otherwise, nothing much you can really do. The other area which you can attempt to improve the luck is individually. ie based on your ba zi, ie a strong water person, so for example. You can try to wear more favourable colours ie Wood (green/brown). Improving your own personal luck may help a little. But ultimately still depends on your house location and factors. More than Feng S…

Dear Chee Kiong, I won't know what theories or concepts other geomancer may have used as such not able to common on their analysis. Some geomancers uses Chinese Astrology, some use I-Ching, some use Ba Zi etc. Even those who use Ba Zi, a simple ba zi analysis can take your Year of Birth element, the more detailed one can take Day of Birth. Also how detail you analyse will also make an impact to what recommendations they will make. As such, so far from my experience, you can go to different geomancers, and there will different analysis results that may come out all depends on how information has been analysed. The only thing I can tell you here is that at Geomancy.net, …

Dear Benji, This has been question that has been posted time and time again. 1. When you take the entrance of the office from the main building entrance, you are actually taking performing a feng shui audit for the entire building itself. 2. When you take entrance of the individual office entrance, then you are actually performing an analysis of the individual office unit within the building itself. So when analysing an Office / Shop, you should take the reading from the office entrance or shop entrance. Remember, that Flying Star can be applied on a Macro or Micro level. So the frontage you choose will determine the scope of the analysis. Hope that helps. Warmest…

Dear Analia, Yes, that is absolutely correct Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Shadeeda, Unfortunately, it is not possible to fix a suitability issue. You either suit the house or not. How else can you correct the problem except to change the direction of the home (ie move to a another house which is more suitable). Same for bedroom, bed position, if a sector of the house or bed position isn't suitable, then try to change to a different bedroom or sleep in a different bed position. This is not something which you can just correct unlike other concepts like an unbalanced flying star sector which you can attempt to balance the sector. Failing an analysis in one theory does not mean that your entire feng shui is bad. Just like an exam, if you f…

Dear Cindy, Frankly, I hope u don't mind me saying; but it would be better for you to get expert help instead of grasping with so many "puzzles." Often, the major consideration is to check the layout plan of the home to see if it is better (or not) to fly to the new period. For example, for a Period 7 SW 2 apartment, the current prosperity water star is located at South compass direction while the mountain star is located at West. While under Period 8, the water wealth location flies to the NE sector. And the mountain star remains at SW sector.Does this match your layout plan i.e. is your living room at NE? or as a result of flying to P8,the water star 8 could be dro…

Dear Judy, It is good that you review this three previous messages that had been posted in the forum:- Conference: Feng Shui Tips & Guidelines Part I - Facing direction of a home by: Cecil Lee (Cecil Lee, support@geomancy.net) on Thu, 22 Apr 2004 Part II - Facing direction of a home by: Cecil Lee (Cecil Lee, support@geomancy.net) on Thu, 22 Apr 2004 The easiest way is to go to the above conference and review the above three messages. It will certainly throw light to your question and hopefully give you clear and concise answers. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, You can actually click on the " ADVANCE SEARCH" on the top left hand side of this forum (just below the SEARCH button):- Step 1: Type in " beam " Step 2: Select the conference " Photo Tours of Interest with Pictures " Then, press to confirm and you should find several messages on "An alternative to a flute".... Go review several of these messages to find out what are the often used items e.g. a pair of flute or decorative arches etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Doris, There are several dimensions of Feng Shui or degrees of "understanding" what is good or bad Feng Shui. For example: 1. Enhancing Qi Some Feng Shui actions or activities are to enhance qi or to boost qi in a home. For example such as activating #8 under Flying Star Feng Shui. Where especially #8 has to do with the current water wealth location. 2. Neutralising Sha Qi or Poison arrows There are also imbalances caused e.g. by a pointed roof aimed towards our home e.g. a lone street lamp slicing into our main entrance etc... 3. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui Fortunately, from what I can gather, yours has to do with a toilet above the main entrance door…

Dear Sze Nee, The problem with suitability issues from analysis such as Eight House is there is no way to correct the problem unless you decide to change to a more suitable direction. Usually, if you are just an employee, there is very little freedom for you to say choose or correct a direction or even avoid using that direction. So the only thing you can possibly do is to try to improve your luck by ensuring that your ba zi elements are improved. ie if you are a weak wood, then say wearing more Water (blue/black/gray) or Wood (green/brown) will help you improve your luck. This can then help to offset the issues about the unsuitability. So basically, what you can do …

Dear Doris, To be pretty honest: there is often no right or wrong answers. Nor one camp can ever overwhelm the other to consider exactly what colors fit which elements. For example, it is very straight forward that all the primary colors such as (often those found on the color tv) e.g. Green, Blue and Red. And some also consider Yellow a primary color). From a hot-cold continuum or spectrum, colors would range from the hot end (Red) to the cold end (Blue or white). Grey is interesting. Because silver looks silver to us. But in my country, all our paper notes have a security thread -- threaded into each paper note. Humans when eyeing the notes will certainly see a g…

Dear Sophia, Please see below:- It is the belief that if one displays decorative objects (note: call them whatever one wants "wealth vase ...." etc... But really, these are only objects made by ordinary man! One of the beliefs is that if one keeps such objects, it is best always to cover the top and not let the vase be "empty". Some would place another smaller covered container to cover this "mouth" of the vase, while others could simply cover it fully with a cut-out cardboard, styrofoam etc.... In Singapore, we read of magic "stones" that can cure cancer etc... This is where such people prey older folks -- into parting with their savings! Therefore, all of us s…

Dear Sophia, Generally, (or very generally), yes, south represents the fire element. To side-track-a-little: And in quite alot of past forum messages, I mentioned that for a kitchen at the south, it is acceptable to have the stove face a water position. This would not be ideal -- if the kitchen is located at the north. (water location). 2. Generally speaking, wood cabinets are in harmony with the kitchen since it has fire (stove) and wood element fuels fire (stove) - in a productive cycle. You can also read up an article, I wrote for the Home Concepts magazine - the article has been extracted to the forum. Do a search perhaps for "home concept" or "home concepts"…

Dear Oliv, Under the Holy Trinity of Geomancy: 1. Heaven Luck - what is given to us 2. Earth Luck - Feng Shui 3. Human (man-luck) - human relationship factors and psychology Most of it, I would personally think would fall under Human (man-luck)! It is about firstly, -- our feelings... As you had written, one may feel quite uncomfortable or some "worries" of whether it can or cannot affect Feng Shui Another is about "face" or for the Chinese "prestige". A half-painted house that is left halfway unpainted for sometime could imply that symbolically or we are in "financial difficulties". I know some of us don't care "too-hoots" what the neighbour(s) say! But, all these d…

Dear John, Please see below:- But, I personally feel that it is more likely missing corner(s) in this case. Under some Flying star "models", some Flying star directions would benefit from a rectangular or squarish shape building to take advantage of better Feng Shui for a home. Qn3. Would extending

Hi Anon, Yes, thanks for the feedback. It would seem that there are template typo which caused the results to look a little out. I will be correcting those error shortly. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Sharon, The thing here is that there is no home that is mobile in the past, as such there is no specific feng shui analysis that you can really use for this. In such a mobile home, probably the application of making it comfortable and practical to stay in would be more important. The only few areas you can apply any feng shui concept would then only be either:- 1.To face the entire home in a certain direction when you "park" ie facing north - Prosperity. 2. Or apply the Ba Zi element ie North - Water element, etc. 3. The rest should be more like colour scheme of the interior and exterior should be suitable to you. Otherwise, nothing much else you can do. Ho…

Dear Anon, 1. For any new house purchase, it is always good to bring all family members to view the site to get an overall feeling of the place. 2. Under Flying star Feng Shui, currently NE facing homes have a better Feng Shui advantage as it is generally considered a better facing direction than some other facing directions. 3. For the Eight House theory, it is always favourable if the apartment fits the breadwinner. It is quite common both either spouse to be "opposites" east or west group. Although this is a consideration, other factors such as the Shapes and Forms and the Compass School - Flying star should also be considered. 4. As to whether to commit to purchas…

Dear Anon, Firstly, congratulations on your new home Basically, the Auspicious Date report and details would be sufficient as shown in this link. http://www.geomancy.net/products/po-dates/po-dates.htm I believe you are referring to this link on a house warming procedures:- http://www.geomancy.net/temp/user/house-warming.doc Hope that helps.

Dear Tomo, Eight House can be applied no matter how small or large the house is. The only question you will have to ask is it useful to divide the house for any analysis anymore. In this case, the analysis such as finding which sector of the house is good for what is no longer useful. However, the directions where you can place the desk or bed position will still be useful. ie facing North direction is your longevity so this should be where your head is for sleeping. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Daniel, Tai Sui in the West for example means that you should avoid disturbing him especially for renovations. Having a fish tank there does not affect the Tai Sui in anyway. So don't really think you will need to do anything. Whether or not you should relocate the fish tank depends more on the flying star analysis ie where is the water wealth sector this year for best luck. That I will not be able to advise you here unless an analysis is done. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Cassendra, The important thing about bed placement is that you should try to place the bed in a position if possible as shown in this link:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-bedroom.htm It is very common when you apply the sleep position that you are both exact opposite (ie what is good for you isn't good for the other). So the only thing you do is to check out the eight house to see which side of the bed you should be sleeping. (ie North side which is closer to the left side of the bed is disaster, while North-East closer to the right side of the bed is health. Then you should opt for the right side of the bed.) This way each of you get to sleep on …
