Dear Anon, If the table is within a cubicle, then this is fine. It is also good that your table is `supported' at either side or by a partition. So long as the pillar is not pointed at an angle to your table, this is acceptable. In an office environment, because of constraints, one may have to live with it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Frankly, under the Chinese "system", there is really no precedence on your situation. But feel free to have a "good" feeling about it

Dear Anon, The best `cure' would be to use a screen. For such cases, the screen or a partition need not reach up totally to the ceiling. It merely needs to `hide' the door. Here, `if one cannot see it, it no longer becomes a threat'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sandy, I am not sure if you have any contraints i.e. rented room where you may not have sufficient storage area. In my opinion, it is always best to see if you can explore any possibility of stacking the boxes e.g. in a cupboard or ar a corner rather than placing it below your bed. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Thank you, Cecil. I totally understand the need to have a full audit of Feng Shui. In fact, in the midst of finding another flat. Was hoping some simple basic actions to help first so that I can "keep" enough money for your services etc. Am still in debt..sigh..

Dear Wasis, 1. I personally think that a lot more issues should be taken into consideration, first. 2. I have always found the management concept: Situational approach - " It depends ". 3. It happened that, particularly in Singapore, we have a small island and majority lives in high rise buildings. 4. One must understand that as a building goes up (vertical); often, the building is at the `mercy' of the elements. 5. For example, taking my most recent comments on the condo: The Yardley. Some of the units are in a direct compass East-West line. 6. In addition, just imagine that this unit is e.g. at 7 floor/storey. And that there are no other buildings or trees to shade this…

1. Unfortunately, since no two situation is the same: 1.1 for a Feng Shui practitioner; for a bedroom, we often try to visualisemore importantly where the bed will be located. In many instances, even if the bedroom is located withintwo or more sectors, usually we would find that the bed-head and if we lie down on the bed, where is the majority of our body lies. If so, this sector should be one way of checking to see if there are no bad sectors or if so, some cure need to be placed. 1.2 Following from 1.1. Rather than firstly get confused whether this sector lies in North or NW, we should take a look at the Flying star numbers for both North and NW. 1.2.1 In some situ…

Dear Wasis, 1. In general, Feng Shui analysis of a business or office building is similar to that used for audit of the home. 2. For example, the Flying Star analysis is used to analyse the birth chart of the office. 3. Shapes and Form Feng Shui is also used in an office environment. 4. One's Personal Gua or (Ba Zhi) is also used to match the person to their office. Warmest Regards, Cecil Regards, Wasis

Dear Joan, 1. Usually, flooring of this nature has more to do with the ideal of "Health" and "Relationship" or whatever. 2. Often, parquet with or without it being considered good or bad, is much favoured then hard cool floor tile. This is because, wood is a very poor conductor. And the ideal here is that for those who sleep on the floor (floor mat), or if one just wake up and step on the floor tile it is not cold as compared to ceramic floor tile. 3. Therefore, for the Chinese, the parquet flooring is preferred in a bedroom condition. *joke* Hopefullly, the home is never near termite infested area else it is pure enjoyment for the termites. 4. For relationship, there ar…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: my room is in the west, a little towards the north, which colour should i paint my room? Generally, in order to be able to recommend the best and most suitable colour scheme. We will need to assess your flying star chart for that sector. This way we know what element like Earth (Yellow) or Fire (red) or Wood (green/brown) to avoid. Furthermore, we also need to know your ba zi so as to know what element will best suit you. Otherwise, we can only advise on a general basis. White (Metal) is the most neutral colour that can avoid activating inauspicious stars from your flying star.Then you should based on your ba zi, if you are say a weak wood,…

dear Jen, 1. If there is no boundary and the entire piece of land seamlessly looks like merging with the entire area, than, this is far better off! Than, purposely demarcating boundary. Where, it will clearly show as a truly odd shaped piece of land. 2. Generally, we should not be too fearful of odd shaped piece of land. Unless often it affects the drainage of the land. 3. Overall, after reading your note, I do feel sad, not because of your land but the fact that I live in a country that not only must one have a fence but it has to be relatively high or prevent unauthorised people coming into it. 4. In Asia, and especially in Singapore the norm for a landed property home…

Dear Mark, Frankly, it is best to look at all the stars at one go. Rather than looking at it separately. 3 - Strong Wood,5 -Strong Earth, 6 - Strong Metal Looking at the bad stars, 5 Strong Earth is exhausted by both Strong Metal and Strong Wood. So the star 5 impact in that sector is not an issue. Strong Wood is also controled by Strong Metal. So also neutralised. So even if you do not do anything most of the stars are almost neutralised. However, this is no harm in adding some Metal cures to further strengthen the sector. A little Water and Fire will also not do much harm as it will then create a full five element harmony (Wood -

Dear Anon, Yes, some Feng Shui books often indicate that when we cook, we should be able to see who is coming into the kitchen. This is a commonsense approach: 1. Not often, we will leave the entrance door open. But, sometimes, when we cook, the noise may drown e.g. a bell or someone calling us at the main entrance. Especially so if it is any of our loved ones ... especially the very young children who may have just came back from school. 2. Should someone have left the entrance door open, we may see "an intruder" come in ..eg towards us.. (Most unlikely.. but this is what some of the book(s) say... Frankly, most of the time Para 1 and 2 does not happen. As often, we …

1. Please take note that the module for Flying Star House Number analysis, has mentioned that it is meant for high-rise buildings NOT LANDED property. 2. The Apartment number analysis takes into account that qi at different storeys (floors) differs. Thus an apartment that is at 5th storey may differ in qi from another that is say at 8th storey etc... 3. Thus you have used a module for the wrong purpose. 4. In terms of ranking or priority, I would be more concerned where the kitchen (stove) is located. Although a stove facing the sink is not the best, but can be "easily" remedied. 5. For landed property, key success factors include at which location water (drainage) ex…

Dear Susan, 1. If one asks quite alot of different FS practitioners, the chances are many will say it is a (NO NO) to have a mirror face the bed. A BELIEF: 2. The reason or (BELIEF) is that because, it was felt that when we sleep, our spirits "wonder-out" of our body and it may get a shock seeing one's self in the mirror. This is the rationale why many FS practitioners way say that it is bad for a mirror to face the bed. 3. It is interesting to note the survey results in this poll section: http://www.geomancy.net/poll/poll.pl In the above link; you can look thru the results for the following poll questions: a. If your TV set is facing the bed, do you cover the screen bef…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Yes, this is a contributing factor. You are correctly. Most likely you have at least two or more major leaks especially leaks involving Shapes and Forms in your present home. If you can scan or draw a sketch of your layout plan with furniture, feel free to post it to this forum to me to make comments to throw light to your present situation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. When applying authentic Traditional Feng Shui, and if you are strictly applying Compass School Feng Shui, then you should be using the "magnetic compass". 2. Not to complicate things, for example near the equator, the magnetic north is nearly equal to the geographic north. Even in other areas, there is a slight deviation, only. 3. As mentioned under Para 1, above, authentic Traditional Compass School Feng Shui, is where, as you had given an example, your frontage should be and is North not South, while the South is the back of the home. This is particuarly so, if you are TAKING a reading using a normal compass (or regular compass). 4. Not to be confused with the Chi…

Dear Mary, Please see below:- I very happy to learn that you have enjoyed this site ... for the last two years. Your words of encouragement will spur us to work harder to continously improve on the site. If you have used the binding element report, the suggested cure is metal. What this means is that where both parties are i.e. especially your bedroom or the living room, you can make more use of `metal' element to bind both parties closer. If we evaluate why the binding element `metal' is useful, we can look at it this way: 1. Metal helps your husband's weak water to grow. 2. Metal, has no ill effects on your Strong Earth element. Metal element is neutral to your …

Dear Rosie, Where possible, one should always consider the priority of placing the bed based on good Shapes and Form Feng Shui. I recap on the best positions are preferably : 1. The bed should be (try) to be against a solid wall. 2. If possible, it should be on the opposite wall from the bedroom door. Or where best, the bed should not be on the same wall as the bed. 3. Para one is a better position than placing the bed with the head rest against a window. 4. If there is a window on the side of the bed; preferable that one leaves a gap between the bed and the window. 5. It is best still to position the head of the bed against a solid wall. But if you want to sleep below a…
