Dear Elena, Oops! I am sleeping on one myself! Yes, this is a very common type of design! Many of us (or the likes of us) have slept on such a bed / bed-head frame... for many years! Why not... let's start burning all those books that says that it's bad! Cheers! Cecil Elena Oldham wrote: It is a very popular style for the bed head board to be in the form of a half circle or "hill" I call it. It is low on the sides and rises up in the middle. After the fact, I read in one of the books that it is bad to have a head board in the shape that resembles the chinese coffin. Is this true and can any remedy be applied?

Dear Gary, 1. Please click the attachment for the "centrepoint" of the apartment and facing direction. 2. In order to Fly to Period 8, in addition to painting the ceiling, one also MUST have several (2 or more) celebrations in the home, also.

I am confused of finding middle point of the house.Could you pls mark the middle point? 3. From my understanding that the door is not always the facing direction. Currently I am living on the 20 floor, could you pls confirm the si…

Dear Juan, JUAN ITA ALEXANDER wrote: Me and my hubby are living in a west facing house although we are both east people. I would like to know what tips you can give to improve the feng shui in our bedroom which is in the east part of the house The East and West group grouping is actually quite mis-leading. As, every group will always have 4 good and 4 bad directions. What is more important is to check whether:- 1. Your husband (ie I presume he is the breadwinner for the entire household) should ensure that his facing direction of the house suits him. Also, it would be good if he stay in the bedroom which is also his good sector. 2. While the rest of the family members…

Dear Sophie, sophie corcoran wrote: ive just done the compatabiliy report. my boyfriend is weak water dragon (31st jan 1976)and i am strong earth dog (2nd oct 1982), it says metal will reduce conflict but what does it mean by metal, does it just mean metal furnishings? Five element can be related to many different things ie colours, shapes, direction, career etc. So when it mean Metal, it means ie Metal (colour - white/gold, circular shapes, metal materials, West or North-West facing direction, or even Metal careers).

Dear Sandra, Sandra Liepina wrote: I was born in Latvia, Riga city in Soviet Union times. In that period our time zone was Moscow time zone. Now we use our real local time and difference is -1 hour. I would like to now what time I should use to calculate my Ba Zi chart. My birth date is 26.09.69. and birth time is 21.20 using Moscow time. The same question I have about summer light saving time. Thank you for answer. Ba Zi was actuallydesigned to be pretty forgiving, thus just from the day month and year alone, you can already get a fairly accurate analysis. The reason because the month pillar is ultimately what defines a person's luck flow and the day is what determine w…

Dear Teo Choon Seng, teo choon seng wrote: My house has a missing corner on the north-west sector. I don't know if that is the reason, since beg of 2004, our living room ceramic tiles pop up on three occassions which have been repaired.Recently the nw sector ceramic tiles broken, and when I think back, my career path was like fallen down frm a ladder for the past 10 years.Do you have any suggestions for a cure on this? can a six rods windchime to be hanged outside the window of the north-west sector help? Missing corners in a home tend to be inauspicious. There is actually no real cure to correct this flaw as it is based on the external shape of the house. If it is a l…

Dear Anon, Many years back, I had written on the issue of "long houses". For example, many years back, the long house e.g in Sarawak is pretty unique and quite similar to your case. However, their long house can even be longer than the 120 ft long as you had mentioned. Yes, unfortunately, between the pie and the grid, if it is a long house than the grid method is often preferred over the pie in your case. Thus, no choice, long and thin would be the better way to analyse the home vs the pie which is difficult to apply in such a type of home. Warmest Regards, Cecil Anonymous wrote: I live in a house that is 18 ft wide and 120 ft long. When I use the Flying Star Pie me…

Dear Sean, Frankly, so far, I have not read or known of any relationship between Feng Shui and `manipulation' of weather. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Dharmawan, Wow! This is certainly new to me! In my opinion, I would consider this as simply "hocus-pocus" type of linkage or consideration. Imagine, if some of us were born in the year of the rabbit, then, we MUST rear rabbits? Or if we are born in the year of the tiger? How do we rear a free roaming tiger? Hmm... In addition, for many Malays especially in Singapore or Malaysia, have never touched a "dog" or had not rear one as dogs especially their saliva is considered "dirty". More importantly, I would consider this area that you had mentioned as belonging not so much as to Feng Shui (EARTH luck) of the home but rather: Human or man luck area. Here, often esp…

Dear Anthony, I hope I get your question correctly. If you are using the Luo Pan; there are many different types of Luo Pan out there. But no matter which type it is; the traditional Luo Pan has it's needle (always) pointed towards the magnetic"south" and the opposite side facing north.

Dear Kit Fong, Kit Fong wrote: I will be selling my existing 5-room flats and buying a resale 4-room at Yishun (Khatib MRT). How do I know whether the house is suitable for me and my family? 1. Determine the house facing of new home ie. 2nd to 7th level apartment, take reading from your main door. ie take a compass reading standing inside your house at your main door looking outwards. ie. 8th level and up apartment, take the reading from your balcony/living room. ie take a compass reading standing inside your house at your living room/balcony looking outwards. 2. Once you determine the house facing, check if this house facing fits the breadwinner (one that earns mos…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: My main door is facing south and my apartment is not square, what is the best way I can fine the auspecious location to activate? By the way my apartment was completed in year 2000. It is really hard to advise without any layout to view what exactly you mean. However, for any of the odd shapes layout there are usually a few ways to apply feng shui:- 1. ie find the center influence of the entire layout, then treat those missing areas as missing sectors of the house or treat some of the sectors as a protrusion. 2. ie divide the layout into two portions to apply the feng shui. especially for L shaped apartments. You can find some example in…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I am sitting at a ProsperityDirection in my office but there is a pillar sharp corner facing my direction. Anonymous wrote: Just wondering howcan these be resolved? Is putting a plantat my desk to block good enough? 1. The best if you can put a partition or object (ie like a plant) to block the Sha Qi. In feng shui, when you can no longer see it, it no longer becomes a threat. 2. Some other ways if partition is not possible, is to have a circular mirror / a small dragon figuring to be placed on your desk to help deflect the poison arrow away. The first method above isbetterif possible. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOM…

Dear Hock Chuan, ong hock chuan wrote: I am a bit confuse between Birth Element and Kua Element because my Kua Element is wood while my Birth element is water. Kua element or Eight House analysis is based only on YEAR of birth. While ba zi element or Ba Zi (4 Pillars/Pillars of Destiny), calculates from the day, month, year and time of birth (if available). Eight House is typtically useful for it's suitability check, as even though it is simple it has proven time and again to provide a good suitability check assessment. However, we normally do not use the Kua element as the true birth element as only the YEAR of birth was considered. True birth element is usually assse…

Dear Olivia, Anonymous wrote: What are your thoughts on monthly stars vs yearly stars, etc? The reason I ask is because another website states that for example, in the month of November, if you have a front door or office in the West sector,we should place a dragon or a metal wealth pot to enhance wealth/fame/recognition. Whereas, the #8 star is actuallyin the South sector this year.Can you explain this train of thought? I would questionhere onthe practical application of applying feng shuion a Monthly or even worstDaily application. Do most people really have the time and effort towant to apply monthly or even daily flying star changes? Most people will at most practic…

Dear Sophie, sophie corcoran wrote: cecil u have mentioned a 10 day cycle for the different birth elements. Yes, every day has different Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch combination (ie 60 different unique combinations from the 10 Heavenly Stem and 12 Earthly Branch). So since the Heavenly Stem changes in cycle, it will cycle through the 10 different Heavenly Stem. That is why Cecil mentioned that there is 10-day cycle. sophie corcoran wrote: what is today 22nd nov 2005?

As wood produce fire, will it be too strong the fire is especially 2006 is year of fire. How to overcome this. Frankly, it is not really correct for you to relate the number of earth element present in someone else chart, to add that to your own chart. It does not work that way. The number of elements in individual person chart, is used to asses whether he is weak or strong person of a particular element. ie if he is a wood…

Dear Carlo, Anonymous wrote: Hi, I'm confused about the best sleeping position. In the free reports,thebest sleep position looksdifferent from the best work or study position. So, for sleeping I have to have the best direction for me behind my head when laying down on my bed? It looks like you have to face in the opposite direction. Is this correct? For the other positions (work, study), itlooks like you have to have your head facing towards your best direction. Is this also correct? Yes, sleeping position is where say East is Longevity, your head should point to East and your feed point opposite in the West. This is because you are sleeping so your head should be pointe…

Dear Olivia, Olivia Kim wrote: Would you be kind enough to help me with the following? Myfavorable directions are East, SE and N. I need a garageand the only garage available right now is a garage facing East as I am drivingINTO the garage. By the way, does this mean it is WEST facing? Also, the Garage number is 4. In the U.S. it sounds similar to the chinese pronounciation, is this correct? Generally, a garage isn't really part of a house. So it can be built separately or added on, but the entry or direction of the garage will not replace the facing of the house. So it really does not matter if it is not possible to enter into the garage from a good direction. Back to …

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Could not find any discussion on traveling in different directions and how that effects us. Specifically traveling to country or a city which is in direction of ones death direction. Generally, most people do use this travelling information in this way. I mean to get from one place to another by car or plan, there can only be a certain direction you can travel. So if you follow it strictly like South is Death, that means you completely avoid South. But what if South is the only way to get to your destination? So this is not practical and that is why you do not see anyone following this strictly by the book. Furthermore, for the Eight House di…

Dear Norman, Norman Leonor wrote: I have a mirror 4feet by 4 1/2 feet standing infront my stairs upstairs.. Does this mirror have any effect on us and for the good chi or bad chi? Generally, it is not a good idea to have a mirror just at the stairs, simply because it can be a shock for people to see themselves when theyreach the top. Especially for those who are not aware that it is there. Furthermore, mirror if placed in bad sector, can sometimes bounce/create twice the bad luck. Hope that helps.
