Dear Zora, Please refer to the resource from one of my very early site:- http://www.lovesigns.net/astrology/ayear/a30-50.htm The rationale has more to do with the YEAR of birth. This is because, those born in January or February are often affected by which year your birth date should belong to. Take your example: In the above resource reference:- Your birthday is said to belongs to "1944" where the lunar new year starts on 25 Jan 1944 and ends at 12 Feb 1945 While "1945" belongs to 13 Feb 1945 to 1 Feb 1946. Thus a person who is born on 28 January 1946 should be treateda as born under 1945. If you use our website, you should be able to cross-check and get the correct inf…

Dear SK, You house has satisified Para 1 and 2. As for Para 3, as mentioned in my previous message, so far, it is proven that a hill as high as 1 storey high, will most certainly qualify for the Pearl String Formation. Hmm... for "tall thick Hedge", this is something new (or not proven yet). This is because, under the original Pearl String Formation, the effectiveness has to do with `earth' or a hill made of earth. As to a `hill' made of thick hedge, as mentioned, in my opinion, there is very few past precedence. And to me, frankly is virgin territory. Looking at it, you may have to decide on your own whether to try it or not. Thus to me, I cannot say for sure, if it will…

Dear Wendy, Frankly, although some books had mentioned about the ills of living close to high-tension wires; So far, from what I understand there is never a scientic proof that it brings harm to those close-by. Thus often, this is `mind' over `matter'. The only consequence under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui is that the trunk or pole or rod, should not slice into the home. If so, this is sha qi. Frankly, there were recent claims that some handphones had high (microwave radiation). More likely, if this is true, of the ill effects, we most likely can get sick or run down by a "car" than die from high-tension wires. Thus, it does not seem logical to worry too much about this.…

Dear Leon, "Sector Feng Shui" or simply said - Paying homage to a sector, in my opinion, has the lowest success rate (if any). Even at this basic level, at least considering whether a location is bright (Yang) or dark (Yin) and then determining colour scheme (although) not the best method, but has certainly a higher success rate than enhancing a sector based on it's "so called definition e.g. patriah etc...". Frankly, this type of "Feng Shui" is not practised here. Erh.... " next question, please. " Warmest Regards, Cecil Thanks for all your

Dear Daria, Yes, in my opinion, based on what I understand; is it many practitioners would consider removing the roof (and putting it back i.e. changing it) as a change in Period. Thus, you should consider your parents' home as under Period 7 influence, already. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master Cecil: I am unable to upload a sketch of the way of my house situates relative to my neighbors' houses. Let me see if I understand your message. I cannot cover all cases. I simply try to summarize what I observe on the street I live. Primarily, the street in front of a house determines the direction of the Qi comes from. Therefore, if a number of single family detached houses situated side by side facing a street: 1. The frontage of the houses that are closer to the street collect more wealth. 2. The frontage of the houses that are relatively distant from the street lose wealth to other houses. 3. The frontage of the houses that sort of tilt away from the stre…

Dear Vijay, It would be great if all leaks can be penned down in one forum message. But, this is impossible to do. We have actually, made available, free resources within this site and this forum. You can always try to look at the specific forum conferences e.g. Photo tours with interests, Singapore Property etc... Alternatively, note down which topics interest you, and use the SEARCH feature under this forum to find out more. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Susan, Most likely both of you are conscious about the the mirror above your bed. The best is to buy an opaque film, cut out the profile or outline, first. And if you know how to D.I.Y. simply, clean the mirror first, and then add a bit of soap into a spraying bottle, and spray the water onto the mirror. Once done, just paste the film and use a tool e.g. like a credit card or atm card to smooth the surface. (Do remember to use some cloth to collect the spilled water. Covering it with symbols, would often not help if the base (mirror has not being covered up). For the Chinese, the double happiness symbol can be used. But, since from your name, you are not a Chinese, …

Dear Vijay, 1. If one is looking at the 5 elements concept; it is important that we understand the destructive cycle. 2. In past forum messages, I mentioned that actually, the destructive cycle is also the `wealth' creation model. 3. For example: lets look at the "destructive cycle":- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm E.g. Wood destroys earth 4. Here, if we look carefully at this "destruction": actually, logically speaking wood gets it's nurishment from earth. 5. And as we are all aware, over farming is undesirable. thus, many farmers plant one crop, rotate another crop etc.. And they also add neutrient into the soil. 6. Another example is Metal …

Dear Ann, Under the attachment, it seems that there is a long narrow corridor between the living, corridor and bedroom/balcony. The centerpoint of the home has restricted qi flow or flux. In addition, markings 1, thru 2 thru 3 shows the leak from the living towards the middle bedroom. A rough indication is that it seems more favourable that there is no wall between the living room and corridor. Except for other hidden considerations such as what is the opening at the balcony e.g. are there windows, full glass height area and which compass direction there are. In your home, do check whether you do have a water position. Many people, assume that water positions are good. Bu…

Dear Grace, Under the Eight House Theory, the best work direction is the "Excellent" or "Prosperity" sector. Or facing one's excellent or prosperity sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Further to what I had mentioned; firstly we buy things that do not fit our culture. The next major consideration is that some people are already in financial distress. Given this situation; asking them to buy some products (which often does not guarantee) a "return" is not a wise choice. Sure, if we have money to spare, and for those who feel nice buying products (much like impulse buying) can do so. But for those who are already in "deep shit"; buying goods on credit i.e. many years back, I coined this " Credit Card Feng Shui "; is a really bad choice. Thus, many of us do not blink an eye, throwing away good food. But imagine, there is some one waiting outside, hoping t…

Dear Kathy, 1. "We are opposites!!!" 2. Cecil: "So are We!!!!!!!!! " 3. In some of my past messages, it is best to take a three-step approach to understanding any concepts: 3.1. What is the purpose of the concept? 3.2. What are it's strengths? 3.3. What are it's weakness? 4. The eight house theory has more to do with how suitable a house is to us? 5. Does it imply "how suitable are we to each other? Yes/No? 6. I would say, NO! It does not mean that one should get separated, live apart and finally divorce! But, one day, MAYBE, it can become a LAME EXCUSE for someone wanting to `get-rid' of his/her marriage - for good! 7. Even in a bedroom, where there are `opposites'. I h…

Dear Grace, The clue to the wealth element is based on two considerations: 1. Personal Ba Zi element of a person. Is the person a weak or strong wood? 2. The "Destructive Cycle" of the Five Elements Concept. Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm 3. If one looks carefully at the "Destructive sequence", it is actually quite misleading to say that the destructive sequence in `no good'. In fact, the destructive sequence has also to do with wealth creation. 4. For example: In the case of the wood element. A plant or tree gets its nurishment from the ground. Here, literally, the roots of the plants go into the earth to `crush' and anchor itself i…

Dear Sanjay, In my opinion, it is difficult to give advise on the issue, unless you have a rough sketch. For example, is there a road separating the two premises (property) and is it a two-way street and how many lanes. It is also good to have the sketch of your home/perimeter and some of these information. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jacqueline, Frankly, it is difficult to give proper advise, given limited information. This is because, usually, when we approach a home, we look at the layout plan or of the interior of the home; the location of toilets, openings e.g. side openings etc.. to see if the wealth leak can be minimised. In relation to the current `wall' etc.. It also includes scanning of the next door neighour and the fully area front, back etc.. Therefore, given the limited info, it would not be a good idea to give any remedy as you had mentioned, it may bring far worse complications if done wrongly. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. The key success in Feng Shui is often " Not practising Feng Shui at all". 2. Frankly, if one analyse Feng Shui carefully, often the key success has much to do with our external environment. Or higher weightage is to placed on our external environment. 3. For example, just three months back, this businessman consulted on his home Feng Shui. And he is in this `metal' parts business for quite sometime. 4. After our home consultation, he asked me whether, should he invite me to look at his business Feng Shui. 5. Here, I asked him how is his business. He said, it is OK. 6. Given this understanding, I mentioned to him that it is not really necessary to do a FS au…

Further to what I had mentioned earlier, you can find some of my older resources on Pa Kua or Ba Gua under this very old link:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-pakua.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil
