Dear Regina, To side-track a little:- 1. The annual Five The annual #5 falls at the centrepoint of a home. If so, often, leaving it as a "clear space" or walkway is good enough. For those who are duly concerned with it. The rationale is that it would be quite silly to place e.g. a wind chime at this centrepoint. Since, either, most of the time - a regular wind chime, would not chime as much. Even if it does chime, in a home environment, it can get pretty uncomfortable - since - it can affect the welfare of family members e.g. those who need to study or pay attention to work or for sleep. 2. These three variable numbers are not favourable: since #3 affects work or work i…

Dear Alice, If you can fax a copy of your layout plan to my fax: 64820570 and provide me an e-mail account, I can indicate it on the layout plan for you. Do let me have a short description of each side of your home or what you see from inside of each side looking outwards. Please also let me know the unit level. The e-mail account or a HP so that once I viewed it, I can either e-mail my comments. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, It depends: 1. Where possible, there should be ONLY 1 water position. And this water position (real water) should only be activated according to the Flying Star Feng Shui. For example, a period 7 house has a double #7. And water is used here to activate it for `wealth' under Period 7 etc... 2. Often if there are more than 2 water positions e.g. fish tank measuring 4 ft by 2 ft, is pretty significant and thus not ideal to have more of it.... 3. For a Strong water person, in some instances, it is preferred if the water position is at the balcony area (outside the living area of the home). 4. It also depends on the decor of the home. For example, for a strong wat…

Dear Carlos, Wow! Double #5's are bad enough (Misfortune/sickness x 2). But with the addition of #9 (strong fire), this is a "potent" inauspicious combination. Since strong fire further fuels strong earth #5 x2. If you can, usually, a set of wind chime could be used outside the bedroom e.g. window area to dissipate this three combined inauspicious combination. In addition, it is best to use metal cure inside this room to further negate the bad sector. Try to avoid: Check the room for presence of Earth element i.e. earth tones e.g. cream, beige or yellow. And further avoid any Fire (red, pink or purple) colour in the room. The most common is to check that the walls are not…

thank you very much for your prompt reply. I feel more confident now to use the balcony as my direction. If I can further intrude on you, if I were to change from period 7 to period 8, some sources mentioned to change a new door, roof/ceiling and floor/carpet. As such, do I change my entrance door to a brand new door or do I change the balcony sliding doors since my direction is based on the balcony's direction? Thanks in advance. brgds, Vincent

Respected Sir, Thank you for your reply.I apologise for not being clear in my query.My question is that is there any significance of same level of flooring in all the sectors i.e it is harmful to have any sector higher floor level than other sectors &if this is the case at the back of the house where the main door is also located what are the remedies.Further if correcting beams in particular sectors with false ceiling has left these sectors with lower ceiling height as compared with areas without beams,it it harmful & what are the solution for this.

Dear Regina, With the star numbers mentioned, it is OK to place a plant to mask the poison arrow. Honestly, from your picture, and given that your sofa is a distance away, I personally think that there is no threat from the fire-place. It is not like one is sitting next to it. From the picture, the distance is somewhat like 1 metre away (the sofa). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lee Seng, Frankly, it is better if you have simple sketch rather than all descriptive words to eliminate mis-interpretation and the need to aborb too many lines. Futhermore, a picture, tells a thousand words. Generally, for a kitchen located at the South compass direction of a home, here, the stove can face the fridge. Since south has the element of fire. But if the kitchen is at the North compass direction, or NE direction, than preferably, the stove should not "see" the fridge. Please see below:- This is OK. For family's health, it is often arranged to suit the ba zi of the wife. This two can share the same wall but avoid having the fridge right in th…

Dear Anon, Note: this domain or message, is not Feng Shui but rather Chinese Horoscope based on the Year of birth:- 1. Based on Chinese astrology, the worst "hit" Tiger is the Water-Tiger born under 5 Feb 1962 to 24 Jan 1963 2. While the worst two Monkeys are those born in the year of the Metal-Monkey: 2.1 Metal-Monkey born between 20 Feb 1920 to 7 Feb 1921 2.2 Metal-Monkey born between 16 Feb 1980 to 4 Feb 1981 3. Where possible, these three groups should avoid attending a funeral or if (as a last resort) should not be there to view the closing of the coffin. 4. For buddhists or toaists, under Chinese beliefs, it is good to make an offering at a temple - to receive ble…

Dear Simon, Further to what I had mentioned, in-fact everyday while reading new messages posted to this forum is indeed a new learning experience. Given that no two situation are often alike, it is always foolhardy to use only YES or NO? (Is it true? type of question). In fact, there are many well documented cases of great lawyers who, can argue or fight cases, some of them, which may seem hopeless (to defend). Yet, these people can turn around "the jury". Thus, I can only say "It depends". Often, there is no right or wrong answers. It depends on how, one puts up his or her argument or logic to support their case. In Singapore, not all buildings have equal heights. Thus, …

Dear Kevin, 1. This is based on the "vertical Flying Star" analysis interpretation based on the combination of 81 numbers. 2. The 81 combinations is literally what it means. 3. Likewise, if one looks at the information of a "Horizontal Flying Star" or 20 Year Flying star, each sector also has a significance. (81 combinations of mountain vs water star). 4. A practitioner does not read this interpretation alone. But collectively with other inputs found. 5. Generally, as Robert has often stated, a much more productive use of this House number is where: for those who are not too sure of which unit to purchase in a similar block of flat, could perhaps, look at the significance…

Dear Sylvia, Please see below:- Frankly, since your home is a NW3 home, it is better to remain as a NW3 Period 7 home. As it is still able to tap on the auspicious Pearl String effect of such a period 7 home. Although, this is not the best or ideal situation, it is better to face the "devil's advocate" if your home were to "fly" into Period 8. Given that, there will be more problems or less than ideal condition for your home to be under Period 8. The most yang part of a home need not necessarily mean that one must have a main entrance, here. Given, this senario, usually, the location where there are most windows. For trees everywhere, this is not a major issue, …

Dear Suraya, Usually, the Chinese astrology forecast you mentioned is considered very general as it looks only at the year of birth. Often, we may have to put aside such forecast since we do not want to create: 1. auto-suggestion 2. self fulfilling prophercy Since both of you have been staying for two years, frankly, it is time for both of you to plan for the future. In my opinion, even for weddings, nowadays, many of us plan for it. (Even if it is not this year). An early marriage is often a good idea; often because, it is good to have children when young. And also, it forms a basis for a continued relationship (for most people). Warmest Regards, Cecil I I …

Dear Tess, Frankly, since the railway tracks are very close, it would seem that it will be part of your daily lives. It is not like closing one's eyes and wishing it away. Perhaps, the sound or vibration would be there. One may have to get used to it. The only consolation is to see where possible, if additional sound proofing could be used e.g. closing the side of windows facing the tracks or insulation or curtains, to reduce the noise. This may sound too advanced, but nowadays, work is going on into "noise cancellations - devices" that may neutralise it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Don't worry, even in a relatively safe country like Singapore, more homes have bars installed - than not. As this is a deterent, there should not be an issue, here. Within the home, appropriate interior decor e.g. use of curtains or blinds etc... can easily off-set the ugly sight of the bars. The morale of the story? " YOU ARE NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE! ". Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. The only major concern for bars in an apartment is that often, some of these bars in a room should be able to be opened (can also be locked) in case, of a fire. The fireman should be able to cut-open the lock - as a means of escape. A fully fixed bar grille, is often not a good ide…

Dear Ben, 1. Each industry can be classified under a specific "Five element". 2. In addition, the constant for this Lunar Year is: The Metal Monkey in Wood Year 2004. 3. The common basis of the above is on the Five Elements concept. 4. Industrial Analysis On the above basis (for stocks and shares as well as venturing into such business), each industry can also be classified into one of the Five elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth & Metal. For example, since this year belongs to the Wood year, in general, a prediction can state that trades related to wood, should be good. (Although, there will be high competition) but often, it may lead to success and lots of chances to…

Dear Shellei, Reference url: http://www.lovesigns.net/astrology/ayear/a60-80.htm 11 Feb 1975 to 30 Jan 1976 = Wood-Rabbit 31 Jan 1976 to 17 Feb 1977 = Fire-Dragon Since your friend's birthdate falls between 11 Feb 75 to 30 Jan 1976, he/she should be considered under the Rabbit Chinese zodiac sign. (Since the Year of Dragon 1976 only begins on 31 Jan 1976). Warmest Regards, Cecil
