Dear CF Yow, CF Yow wrote: We will be moving to our new condo next month. However upon checking our auspicious dates, the weekend dates in March do not seem favourable. Pls advise a 'practical' way to 'officially move-in' to our new condo on a weekday, without really having to move all our stuff. We intend to move the bulk of our stuff on a weekend. Simply select the better date to officially move-in, and then follow these move-in rituals:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/temp/user/move-in.doc Once you do it, you can move your furniture later. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Please advise is there a general guide line to choose a date for shifting house? What should I look out for when I'm trying to determine the date? Or is there a general calender for the whole year which should which date is good for shifting? In general, there are a few ways of checking to determine a good date:- 1. If you do not plan to use a tung shu / alamac calendar or ba zi, then most will agree that 1st or 15th day of the lunar calendar is often considered an auspicious date in general. 2. If you at least have a tung shu / alamac calendar, you can look for dates which is stated to be generally auspicious. In general, these should be …

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Could you please let me know the effect of metal portable building structures used as a temporary office on persons who are already of a strong metal element. Generally, as a Strong Metal person, having anything metal will of course not be favourable to that person. However, in general, most furnitures are generally made of Wood, Metal or Glass (water). Of which Wood furnitures are the most popular. So that would make Strong Wood person will be most at the greatest disadvantage as most furniture is wood element, right? Well, not really. In feng shui, we need to prioritize which is more important and which is least important. So like if you h…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Just wondering... It is said that I am Strong Water. I am a cartoonist, illustratorand a graphic novelist. Art is water too, yes? Does that mean I took the wrong career? If I only consider your career suitability, yes probably cartoonist, illustrator and graphic novelist will be considered weater element and so not suitable for you. However, there are many areas in your life (ie your house suitability/element, your career, the colours/element you wear, the people around you, your own luck period etc). Of which the house will have the greatest amount of luck. So if you want to have water career, then you need to make sure you have at least a W…

Dear Cheryl, cheryl ludwig wrote: As I have been saying, I am getting ready to buy a house. I want to do the right thing when choosing a house. Here is a question: The house I am looking at right now is the correct gua number for me. My number is 8 and the house number is 1151, which equals 8. You helped me with how to do this in my previous question. My question is this: Is is more important to be in a house with the appropriate gua number or is it more important to have the house in one of the four good directions - if the two are different (i.e. -the gua is good, but the direction is not so good). With my gua as 8, the house number equalling 8, the direction is barely…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I am new to this website. Just curious whether are our destinies(study, career,marriage, etc...)set when we are born? Are we able to change or accept them as it is???? In general, under feng shui there is Heaven, Earth, Human luck. So under the heaven luck, it is often said that the kind of luck a person is supposed to have is generally pre-determined. However, since there are still two more factors Earthluck and Human luck, these two can still help to alter some of the given luck. For example, a good Earth luck can make an inauspicious 10-year luck better than it is predicted in the ba zi. Good Human luck ie having good relationship with yo…

Dear Cecil, I intend to buy a package from you, but still be confused which direction what method that I need to use. From the front page under your website, to have direction for flying star, you need to stand in the center of house and look into the middle of the door (https://www.geomancy.net/shoppingcart/storesg.cgi?action=link&sku=SELFHELPPKG4&uid=8333) But in this message from this forum, you said that we can stand in front of house looking towards to the horizontal road if it's land property or level from 2 to 7. Could you please clarify this because I have only 1 credit if I buy this package? Another question for this topic too, if house has front door whi…

Dear Hoa Luong, Hoa Luong wrote: I'm a strong water. A few of my inauspicious days this month are fire element which is my wealth color. It was suggested in the auspicous dates section that I should wear my favorable elements on the inauspicious days. My favorable elements are wood, earth and fire. My reasoning is that I should wear earth color on an inauspicious fireelement day since earth reducesfire. Am I reasoning correctly? Generally, when a day is inauspicious, it normally means that there are either some conflict between the day and the year and with your ba zi or suitability. So it is not necessary directed directly at your own individual element or suitability. …

I do not want the shift the bed locationdue to theconstraints of the built-in cabinets & wardrobe. Do you have a skech or drawing of your current layout? As it is hard to suggest other alternatives or to see if you are really having this coffin position layout which is usually inauspicious.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: thanks for your reply, is it okay to place a water feature at nortwest palace to enchance water star 9. while placing remedies or enchancers inside the palace should one apply small tai chi or one can place within the boundaries of the palace or one can place within a palace 15 degree of mountain location. Usually, for cures, you should try to go for colour scheme balancing which is the most effective to cover the entire sector of the room. Then there will be no issue in applying or placing the water feature. In general, you want to apply or place the cure as close to the 15 degree sector of the direction to be most effective. Hope that help…

Dear Georgy, Georgy Ivanov wrote: Is bad to put aguarium in my room.In many sites write that, bedroom is not place for aquarium.In that room I sleep study and make all my things.My personal element is strong metal.Thanks in advance. I do personally feel that it is not advisable. A bedroom should be quiet for good night rest. That is why bedroom is usually classified as Yin. With activities from fishes swiming or the light in the aquarium all these creates more yang. So not really good for bedroom. The more scientific reason would be the water in the fish tank tends to have a certain type of fishy smell, plus depending on the fish some fish/water featuremay make some no…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: my master bedroom bed is in same alignment of my bedroom door. however, the bed is facing the full glass window. is this okay? When you mentioned the bed is in the same alignment of the main door, do you mean that it is anchored to the wall where the main door is located?This means the window is opposite the bed. If I got the above correct, then ideally, the best placement is where you seleep, you can see the door. The purpose is so that if anyone enters, you will know or be aware of it. In the past, this is especially so that one can take precaution especially if it is a thief entering. However, if there is no other way to place the bed, …

Unfortunately, there is very little that feng shui can help in terms of helping with getting a sale/rent of an apartment/office.

Or pricing it right or to keep the place clean. In terms of feng shui, you can try to improve some of your l…

Dear Cheryl, In my opinion, there should not be an issue with the situation that you had described. From a Feng Shui point of view, this is not an issue. There are some concern by some people only if there is a upper floor e.g. bedroom just above the car-porch. In such a situation, someone said that in the event that a car caught fire, it would be dangerous to have the car below this bedroom. But to be honest, how often have we heard that stationary cars catch fire. Alternatively, smoke detectors or fire safety sensors could be used, here.

Dear Anon, 1. Looking into past practises; it is popular for the Cantonese (dialect group of the Chinese) to place a wall mirror facing their dining table. The Cantonese felt that having a mirror in this postion would be "auspicious" as food on the dining table can be "doubled" with the mirror image. 2.For interior designers,a large mirror is often recommended as most of us are aware of to create an illusion of depth orseemingly make the home look larger. 3. To be honest, having a mirror behind the sofa is often, less than idealalthough it can still be done or still acceptable. However, for practical reasons, if thesofa-head-rest is too close to the mirror, often,w…
