Dear Narendra, Based on your personal experience, is there any `problems' that you are currently facing. Frankly, there is not much you can do other than keep the location more `yang' i.e. where possible natural `bright'.

Dear Hardjo, A poster bed is useful if there is a slanted ceiling. The four posts hold e.g. laced cloth. And with it, it will negate the sha qi. Enclosed please find a sample of a poster bed. Many poster beds does not have a roof as shown in the picture. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Anon, This has been mentioned many times. Suitability is one area which cannot be corrected. You either should avoid it or move to a better direction to completely remove that problem. The other way to reduce the impact is to have more favourable colours (ie your clothing colour etc). This will also improve your luck and thus reduce the inauspicious impact from the suitability issue of the Eight House. Other areas ensure other feng shui flaws in your home are fixed. These will help reduce the impact of the inauspicious work direction. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Kuga, Thambyrajah Kugathasan wrote: I am selling an apartment and would like to know whatfeng shui measurescan beutlizied toexpeditethe sale. Unfortunately, feng shui is no miracle cure for all problems. There is very little you can enhance in Feng Shui to help expedite a sale of a property. The reason is because the ultimate factor whether a potential buyer will purchase the place, will depend on the location of your home, the ease of transport, the price etc. With a lot of properties available, that means that the buyer has lots of choices to find the best home for him. So under such a situation, there is really very little feng shui can help. You can only make u…

Dear Ashley, Currently, does your single room apartment has any poison arrows aimed at it. Or who were previously occupying it. With little information, it is difficult to find out what is wrong. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Summer, Under Geomancy, often the following are the key points: 1. Colours for the company logo 1.1 Often, either and/or : the sole proprietor's ba zi is looked at and/or the type of business is looked at. 1.2 For example, Communication is considered as a water element. Thus, one of the colours is "blue". 1.3 However, sometimes, the sole proprietor's or partners ba zi are looked at to look at a suitable colour. 1.4 For example if the person is a weak wood person. The company logo can come in three colours: a. White background b. Company logo has blue / white and green 1.5 Where possible, try to have THREE colours for the company logo (background included) Here, three…

Dear Vivek, Thank you for your sketch of your hosue. Based on your sketch, your entrance to your house should be considered. And in your sketch it looks like East. And not NNE which is the entrance of the building. Please note that the Eight House Theory is meant more to find out how suitable the house is to you and your family members. And it is good if one spents time at that sector. Especially if the sector is the bedroom. The Eight House theory is about people living in the house. The Flying Star can be used to check on the birth chart of the house and find out and neutralise what's wrong with the house. And the Flying Star is about examining and fixing the imbala…

Dear Wasis, If one is purchasing an existing home, it is always good to learn more about the history of the house. For example, if there is only one previous owner, (no tenants) simply, the owners are staying in the apartment, it is best to find out the purpose for their move. If it is a `valid' reason, for example, they are moving because of relocation of work in another county or to upgrade their home. Particularly, if it is for upgrading, this is a good `sign'. If a house was built e.g. in the 1950s or earlier, it is good to check it's history of occupants. For any situations e.g. suicide, murder etc... I hope the above clarifies. If not, feel free to let me know. Warm…

Dear Josephine, 1. I am afraid, this type of question is not appropriate for this forum. 2. There is nothing which can be commented that does not dwell into `hearsay' information with no proper basis in Traditional Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. The key success factor in a home is: location, location and location. 2. There is a difference between a "good house" and and "excellent house". 3. An excellent house is overall a `good house' plus it takes advantage of it's environment - to give it better Feng Shui. 4. An excellent house often makes use of it's external surroundings to give it a greater advantage i.e. it `sucks' or `soak' in wealth. 4.1 For example, it's main door is posited at a specific location that `collects' wealth from other developments or houses. Much like water draining (wealth) into the house. 4.2 Often, if the above is rare or cannot be physically achieved; the next best thing i…

Dear Hoa Luong, Hoa Luong wrote: Under P7, stars 6 and 1 are considered "average stars", but under P8, they are "auspicious stars". This is very confusing!, why is there such difference? Please explain. The 9 stars have different luck period depending on the period they are in. For example, Period 7, star 7 is good, but for other period it is a robbery star. It is a fading prosperity when it enters in to period 8 but revert to it's robbery star. So other stars will also be changed according to the interaction with the period. ie period 8, star 1 is the future future prosperity so the star is considered auspicious. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, 1. I agree with you on your definition of more than one water position below. 2. What I find highly unusual is not so much of what you mentioned below, but I literally understood or thought that the earlier posting to mean that there are two water positions outside the main door i.e. on each side. This is what I felt. 3. The context of water positions so close-by side-by-side is in my opinion highly unusual. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I am keen to buy a 10 year old condo unit and would like to redo the entire kitchen and bathrooms. By doing this, I understand that the apartment will fly from period 7 to 8. The problem is, the unit number is good for period 7 but bad for period 8. Period 7 : Prosperity, good wealth. Period 8 : Vomiting. Is it possible to prevent from flying to period 8? Please advise. Thanks. Regards. Usually, once you have any major renovation, it will usually automatically fly over to the new luck period. So, in your case, it may be difficult to retain the existing period. In fact, in such cases where you plan to have major renovations, you should be lo…

Dear Alice, Other than thru the use of and interpretation through Pillars of Destiny, or more generally, Chinese astrology, it is best to look elsewhere for an `answer/solution' to this. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Guest, 1. No, one need not have to get a divorce:) In such a situation. 2. This is because, statistically, 50 percent of married couples, would either fall under: Both same or Both different. And, this would be a lame excuse indeed to seek a divorce. 3. The key to understanding Feng Shui concepts or any other disciplines is to use a three-step-approach. 4. Step 1 : What is the purpose of this concept? Step 2 : What are it's strengths? Step 3 : What are it's weakness? 5. In fact, there are already, much documentation in this forum on the purpose, strength and weakness of this concept. 6. Hope you can do some home-work by using your fingers to type it into the SEARCH …

Dear Henry, If you are doing an analysis, it is good to consider analysing the `different' results obtained if your main door is at the back or your actual main door. Usually, the frontage of the house is looked at. Here, standing outside the home or from either the front of the house or the back, check to see which is the brightest.. usually this is done in the morning or up to noon (12.00pm). 1. In many cases, the frontage is where you have your frontdoor or the door to the garage on nearly the same `face'. 2. If your back door is really at the back of the house, it is quite difficult to consider this as your main door. For purposes of FS audit, using say the Flying Sta…

Dear Alan, 1. Yes, the arowana fish is popular as it can be quite expensive. 2. Usually, such fish (which if taken care properly) can grow reasonably large). 3. The Yin and Yang concept: How many fish to rear? More often, 1 (lonely) arowana is reared in a fish tank. 4. This is usually the common practise and in line with the Yin / Yang concept. Where, Yin = equal numbers and Yang = odd numbers. 5. Thus, ideally, 1 arowana fish is reared in the fish tank. Here, since water is considered Yin, the 1 (odd) number fish is considered Yang. There is thus a balance of Yin and Yang in this situation. 6. This also applies to other fishes reared. If one takes into consideration the …

Dear Magdalene, Can you confirm whether, the powder room has water position. If not, in my opinion, it is secondary or non-issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, Please don't get too unduly worried about this. There are so many theories in Feng Shui. One reference point has to do with these: 1. Spirits - are (were) said to travel in a straight line. The thought is (was) that they cannot negotiate turnings. This is the rationale why, many bridges have curves or even some Feng Shui practitioners ask their clients to tilt their door at the NE. 2. Clue: The idea came about because: NE is suppose to be the location where spirits or ghosts come into our world i.e. the devil's gate. And it would be so convenient; (to enter our homes) if our main door happens to be the first door they see. BTW, they are said to be able to go thr…

Dear Ron, I hope I get what you had written correctly. Do you mean that when the main door is fully opened, it measures 168 degrees - the maximum opening? Frankly, there is often not an issue, with the amount of door opening so long as it can open at-least up to 80 or 90 degrees. Is your door facing an opening e.g. facing a balcony directly. Without a sketch, it is difficult to understand the interior layout. But for placing a fridge in the living room - perhaps, you should be entitled to an explanation from your practitioner since, this is something new indeed. And, other than it is tall and often (huge) in comparison to other objects, perhaps? Your practitioner wants…

1. Usually, an indepth study would have to be done to trouble-shoot what is the problem. 2. Frankly, as you had mentioned i.e. all things being equal e.g. no change in colours except for the change for single to queen sized bed. 3. In my opinion, it could either be one or both:- 3.1 The flying star #3 could most likely "land" e.g. in your master bedroom or main door. This #3 has to do with relationships. Frankly, unable to advise, you exactly where it is. 3.2 BUT, you may consider "trial and error" Feng Shui by having a night light or a table lamp especially best that has a red shade. usually such a lighting is used to burn or destroy this bad #3. Seriously, even if …

Dear Anon, In my opinion, it is best not to use DIRECTION " Feng Shui ". 1. Although each Gua (Kua) or Trigram has a specific significance or meaning, many authors are churning out tons of books on it. 2. It is very easy to understand why authors can make money out of it (plus in my opinion hurt many people). It is so easy, for each of us to `imagine' and come with a such a book: 3. For example, since there are 8 `directions' or trigram; with some imagination or addition of our intrepretation of a direction come with with a book such as: Chapter 1 : Introduction Chapter 2 : Career Sector (North) What it means? What to buy? Go buy it... Chapter 3 : Mentor Sector (North Wes…
