General Help

Dear Anon, 1. In Traditional Feng Shui, especially, if one uses Compass School Feng Shui, the `wealth corner' is subjective. 2. The rationale here is that there is not only one wealth sector but to achieve: maximum wealth or Luck potential; one has to balance all sectors and accord equal emphasis of attention on all sectors. 3. There is really no harm in placing a tin container that you cherish at any location of the home where you feel comfortable with. 4. In addition, this concept applies here " If one cannot see it; it no longer is effective". 5. Thus, coins kept in a tin would remain as a `tin box'. Usually, in Feng Shui, an item has to be visible for it `to work'. 6…

Dear Anon, 1. From past experience, usually if the toilet is exactly at the centrepoint, this is already one handicap of the home. 2. From what you had described; the toilet does not seem to be located at the centrepoint. Which seems promisingly OK. 3. However, usually it takes two or more major handicaps in the house to bring down the Feng Shui of a house. Often, these are finance/career related problems and subsequently cumulate to other problems e.g. heath, marriage etc... 4. I always emphasise that the `saving' factor is the external shapes and forms of the house and for the interior: good shapes and forms. 5. Often, simple things like qi flowing from the main entranc…

Dear Maggie, Maggie Lua wrote: The direction of our house is South-West direction and is excellent for the breadwinner. We discovered that our children's bedrooms are in the Death sector.And one of these bedrooms' door is also facing the bathroom door. Is there anything that we can do about it? Eight House deals with suitability, there is unfortunately very little you can do to correct a suitability problem except:- 1. Move the child to another bedroom (if available) 2. At least ensure that the child is sleeping in the better direction (this can help offset some of the unsuitability to the room itself) 3. Correct other feng shui issues to reduce any further inauspicio…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi, Are there any feng shui tips for abstinence or be faithful to sexual partner. Thnak you. Frankly,relationship between people is actually more towards Human Luck. There is very limited ways that feng shui can be of help except:- 1. Create an environment that will create less friction for potential conflicts. ie The colours scheme of the room if choosen correctly, can help to reduce conflict as two person each has a common binding element that can help to smoothen a relationship. 2. Under the flying star, sometimes stars like star 3 and 4 which are romance and conflict stars are controlled can also help to reduce any potential conflicts t…

Dear Rose, Generally, all feng shui items/gifts only help you feel good. Which means it will only improve your human luck. As long as you feel good about it, there is no harm buying such items. However, they are by no means items with a guarentee/warrenty that will sure to do what the seller claims. However, any items when given by a friend is always better as it contains the well wishes from your friend in addition to the item's own significant. That is why probably your friend said it is better if someones gives it to you as a gift. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Susan, 1. In Traditional Feng Shui, in certain homes, that has been analysed using the Flying Star Chart, there may be specific combination of mountain star and water star which is based on the 81 interpretations that has reference to `legal' problems. 2. There is also one of the base numbers associated with it. 3. As Feng Shui is based on a holistic approach usually, a good FS practitioner would help one to maximise one's Earth Luck i.e. Feng Shui of the home. There are other factors or variables which include one's Ba Zhi or Pillars of Destiny involved. Here one tries to map out one's Heaven Luck and by understanding issues like our element and strength and luck p…

Hi, There is only one additional thing you can do to help reduce this problem is to ensure that the bedroom which your husband stay's should be one of the good sectors of the Eight House. This will at least help to offset the problems of the unsuitablility of the house. However, the long terms solution is still to move out of the house as this house no matter how good the Flying Star is will not bring great wealth to your husband. Anyway, since you are not sure whether the main door is South-East (112.5 to 157.4 degree) or South (157.5 to 202.4 degree). Use the degree's provided to verify if your main door is South or South-East. Use a compass from somewhere at the ce…

Dear Tammie, Under the Eight House Theory, the critical situation is that other than the main entrance i.e. Is this house suitable to the breadwinner; one must spent time at a specific sector. For example, it is not possible to spent `quality time' or literally spent time there as much as we want to. This theory therefore has it's limitations in that if it happens to be one's personal good sectors e.g. toilet(s), kitchen, and if one cannot spent time there then, one cannot do much more -- to enhance that sector. This theory, therefore is about good sectors -- e.g. to spent time at. And if one can't -- no remedy. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Felicity, 1. Generally, FS is holistic and maximum benefits is derived when we try to increase a large percentage of our `luck'. 2. FS is only a portion of the large pool of luck. Where FS is on earth luck. Usually, few are fortunate to get a quantum leap in such earth luck unless, everthing or majority of thins is `done right'. 3. But it does not beat a quantum leap in a home where, the house can "create" wealth. These excellent houses are rare. 4. If we do not have such luck (quantum luck) we can only try to:- Neutlise Sha Qi (or poison arrows) and enhance beneifical Qi (which is much lesser than the quantum leap) but it is a start. (Neutralising Sha Qi is to lo…

Dear Tammie, Please see below:- As mentioned in my forum message; priority should be given (where possible) for your son to spent time at a good sector; first. After this is `satifisfied' then, it is nice to have him face e.g. his education direction NE. Thus, facing NE is secondary or less important then spending good time at a good sector - Under the Eight House Theory. But if the sector is not as good; then, one can still try to face NE. But this is as mentioned - of secondary importance. It is recommended that one understands the aim or purpose of the theory that you are currently using. The aim of Eight House theory is: 1. Find out how suitable e.g. the house…

Dear Anon, Generally, what you cannot see no longer becomes a threat. So if you based on this concept, whatever you can do to make sure that you cannot directly the poison arrow is considered a solution to the problem. Usually, for example a fence or a row of plants that can help to block the view are good solutions for an external posion arrow. Hope that helps.

Dear Chee Kiat, Please see below:- No, under Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, unless one is going for `battle' or in an era, where, it is used for self defense, one should not place the steel sword. This is because, objects such as this if displayed is considered `sha qi' or bad qi. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Josephine, Perhaps, it is too early to say whether for sure there are any problems since you only slept one night away from your bedroom. It is good to try further as there may also be other unrelated reasons... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Anon, Thank you for your interest in our services. I have e-mailed you private on this. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, it is difficult to the energy from an existing home to a new home. 2. As you mentioned, the best `enegry' is the `energy' or the memories in one's mind and the minds of people who lived in that home. 3. For cleansing a home, especially a new home: 3.1 Often, salt is used or sprinkled more often in the toilet area or corners of the home. 3.2 For the Chinese, many use rice and sprinkle them throughout the home. 3.3 Others invite e.g. Priests or monks/nuns etc... 4. As for cleansing an existing home, this is not usually done by the previous home owner but rather the new home owners and may follow Steps 3.1 ... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Frankly, this is difficult to solve considering that it flows under your foundation. In the past, a pagoda was erected - to help reduce the effects. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Julia, Actually, the only reason why people say TV isn't good for bedroom is because TV screen looks reflective. As such it is always related to like having a mirror effect. So the idea behind this is because it is said that when we sleep, our spirit leaves our body. Then when it sees a reflection of itself it will get shock. So that is why it is considered inauspicious. However, what if you are a person who, sees a mirror, comb your hair to make yourself look nice before leaving. So this is all a matter of tolerance. Some people like to look at themselves in a mirror, others don't. But it does not mean that it is at all bad but a matter of tolerance. Frankly, we ar…

Dear Felicia, In my opinion, Feng Shui's specialty does not lie in resolving such problems as it more inclined towards other disiciplines like Zi Wei Dou Shu or Chinese Astrology. Astrology helps to understand the characteristics but in the end result it depends on the individuals or parties involved. In my sincere opinion, it would be nice to say that by placing or changing the layout, one could immediately stop the `problem'. Feng Shui may to a certain extend, reduce or improve luck but, as I mentioned, it would be best to look somewhere else for an answer. If not, one would end up very frustated if given false hope that, e.g. move the furniture to X location etc.. Som…

Dear Ryan, 1. Priority should be given to placing the bed in a `good' Shapes and Form position: 1.1. Usually, the bed is against a solid wall 1.2. Preferably it should not be on the same wall as the bedroom entrance door. 1.3. It should not be on the same wall as the toilet. 2. The above are the more important considerations for placing the bed. 3. Only after one has considered the `Shapes and Form' of bed placement, then should one consider, sleeping in a good sector or having the head face a good direction and not the other way around. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sumtra, 1. Thank you for sharing with all of us your personal experience with your encounter. 2. It also reminded me of a similar situation i.e. in East Malaysia where, there were tribes who lived in "long houses". 3. These long houses are really, really long. And because they are so long, compass directions are difficult to be taken correctly. 4. Some of these tribesmen in the past are head hunters or cannibals. 5. They do display shurken human heads (usually the modern generation) use animal heads such as monkey heads and hang them outside their house. 6. Actually, what you mentioned also has a parallel in Chinese homes. For example, in one of the Pictures under my…

Dear Cynthia, You can actually use the free tools located at www.geomancy-online.com.

(Note: Only the paid report has analysis for all 24 directions) Warmest Regards, Cecil
