Dear Master Cecil Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Your reply is so realistic and comforting.

Once again, thank you for giving us this free forum to discuss our daily problems and your fantastic website is so comprehensive and interesting that I wish to salute you guys for your hard/good work. I am yet to complete exploring your website and continue to do so. Best Regards Anonymous …

Dear Master Lee, Thanks for your clarification. It has been bothering me for the past few years. As a matter of fact, I have moved from Malaysia to HK for work and feeling settled now and have become PR (more than 7 years). Well, I am not sure if it suitable to use the word "emigrate" because the distance is not really far anyway. For the past few years, things have been "so-so" - not really bad, and not extremely good. From time to time, I will think of the statement that person made stating that my "BA ZI" will not "allow" me to stay overseas. I have been working hard and try not to relate any negative stuffs with that "statement" he made. Thanks GOD I found your web an…

Dear Anon, 1. Besides the layout plan; another most important element is the flow of qi - into the house. 2. if there is a relatively clean / unpolluted lake, often, this is a plus point for various reasons. 3. A lake, close-by will often have another `secret' weapon in Feng Shui: trees and plants. And often, with such ecology; it will sustain life (animals or insects). And in many countries, some of these lakes are water catchment areas. 4. Thus, it may not be unnecessarily bad for a lake. 5. Sometimes, if our house has a patio or deck facing the lake; it may mean that this could instead be the frontage of the house. 6. Please note that not two situations are similar a…

Dear Anon, In my opinion, it is best to look at "fatal" problems under the following perspective: 1. Often, fatal problems especially those that lead to financial loss does not come alone. For example, a toilet at the main entrance is considered as - already a handicap. This is akin to one having a fractured leg. 2. It would become worse especially if the house does not fit the breadwinner. Plus other additional leaks. Such as additional toilets at the centrepoint etc... 3. Another issue is that a toilet has connecting sewer and water pipes. And especially if one is living in an apartment, it is difficult or impossible to move a toilet. Therefore, when I mentioned `fatal…

Dear Anon, You brought up an interesting question. 1. Yes, flowers can be categorised into the various elements. Since most flowers are circular, some FS practitioners may classify them as metal element. But often, the colour of the flower - is often what many FS practioners - determine their element. 2. For many plants that does not often flower, then the leaves are looked at to try and fit them into a specific element. 3. Frankly, all the above are considered `peanuts' Feng Shui or not so important. 4. More importantly, we should look at the concept of Yin and yang. This must be in harmony. And under the Five Elements concept, the most effective is a blend of all Five e…

Dear Anon, 1. In the past, many of us who have studied history may recall that there is a bronze age. 2. This is where tools were developed and metal tools and metal was even shaped into coins. 3. But, have anyone heard of a crystal age? 4. If we were to look at crystals or crystal objects, these come about in our very recent history. 5. Here, I mentioned that any use or application can be considered a modern invention. 6. Like the counterpart of a fountain; a small fountain cannot equate to a larger one. Because, there is fewer amounts of water that can friction with air. 7. Similarly, we can draw a parallel to a crystal. Often, the crystal that we buy (if it is meant to…

Dear Guest, In Singapore, Tower equates Block. And in our public housing, Block numbers are excluded in the input. In our condominums, tower is often used but also not keyed-in. Thus, you should exclude Tower 6. Simply key in #18-7 (Please note G =7 and not 6. 6 refers to the letter F). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Feng Shui is purely about our `Earth Luck'. 2. What you are practising is not Feng Shui. Such things has the highest rate of failure. 3.The clue here is that it is too general to be of use to most of us. 4. For example, taken to the extreme: the question asked is : 4.1 Are you sure that you had placed enough? 4.2 How are you so sure that your other suitor of your friend, had place even more than you. 5. Frankly, if we look or reason out, such material things; don't equate to or can give us proper results. 6. In general, such things can be said to play with `our minds'. 7. Often, when it does not yield results: this is where, we should seriously say: let's …

Dear Dominique, 1. Frankly, there is no issue in working out two charts and looking at both. 2. However, try not to use the type of logic that you had mentioned below. 3. But instead, try to make sense of this:- 4. Many years ago, many houses were built under Period 6. But because, in 1984, Period 7 came into being. 5. Often, as an investigative Feng Shui; one can plot the chart for Period 6 and Period 7. In many cases, quite alot had experienced Period 6 (staying in that house for several years). 6. What these people do is to see if later on Period 6 or Period 7 houses closely resemble their current situation. 7. Going forward, what you can do is to do two charts and see…

Dear Arlia, Can u attach the layout plan, as it was not attached earlier. I will comment basically on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, Thank you for the detailed information. Based on your information, it looks like a geniune: non-issue. So long as your main door and windows are not `threated'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Utpal, Please see below:- Under Ba Zi, if one is a weak water or strong fire; it is best not to have too much of the fire element. Nowadays, there is too much commercialisation in Feng Shui to the extent that even pyramid objects which was one used by another ancient civiliation : Egypt and Maya's. In China, we do not seem to see a pyramid. And because of this, it was felt that products such as a pyramid `cure' or `enhancement' is more of a gimmick. Please do not mistaken it with a Pagoda. In the past, Pagoda's are often placed above water veins especially lower down the river to neutralise (underground water) sha qi. It should not be construded as a pyramid shap…

Dear Choon Leng, 1. This is not Feng Shui. 2. Under numerology or the science of it; there are many varied interpretations. 3. And it is very diffcult to say for sure which numbers are considered `auspicious'. 4. Given the fact that many years back, in Singapore, I do remember telephone numbers with 4 or 5 digits. Nowadays, HP numbers are 8 digits etc... 5. In modern times, with today's HP, we do not really need to remember a family member or friend's telephone/hp number. For example, anyone sending us an SMS or call us, we can simply `copy' this information into our HP's address book. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Can I clarify the following points: 1. The neighbour's mirror - facing your property: Is there perhaps a lone tree growing in your compound that seems to slice thru the window or second floor of your neighbour? Or alternatively, is there a private street lamp within your compound that slices into the second floor window of your neighbour? 2. When you stand at the main entrance, looking outside; can you see the mirror? Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Emily, 1. If you have a sketch, feel free to upload to the forum for confirmation. 2. Often, this is not a major issue since most (former 3-room flats) have their toilets at the `back' of the house) - Usually one attached to the master and the second toilet sharing the same wall and close-by. 3. 4 sets of such toilets does not necessary mean that it is inauspicious. 4. Often, the benefit of the older HDB flats are that it is mostly rectangular - a good shapes and form. As well as the exterior of he building is a `stable' earth element shape. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Alan, 1. In my opinon, this edge has minimal impact. 2. Even if there is an impact zone, I strongly believe the `impact' zone is approximately 2 feet from the edge. 3. If you do not move the bed slightly away, it is still OK. But if you want to, can move it further by a few inches (as shown in the attached illustration. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Yes, very often it is very sad to learn that one has to borrow money to do it up for the sake of " Feng Shui ". Nowadays, Feng Shui in it's name sake has come to a very sad state of affairs. Often, these people, simply don't care about others; other than to make a quick buck. Nowadays, majority of FS practitioners are only concerned within the 4 walls of a house or apartment. In fact, Feng Shui is not just about the interior, alone. For example, if the exterior form is not favourable, no amount of enhancement within the house can do wonders. 1. If our house / apartment is like a mini car; no matter how, it cannot seat say 6 adults. If so, we have to buy an MPV…

Dear Anon, Further to what I had mentioned, please see attached example. Do take note that it is not necessary for SOME homes to use screens. And the attach picture should be considered a general example or broad example. 1. Purple line - manipulation of qi flow (or symbolic qi flow towards the centrepoint or the heart of the house. 2. Red - proposed location of screen. Please take note that ideally, the screen should hug or be around the same level as one side of the corridor as shown by a straight blue line. 3. Here, a half height glass panel is acceptable since, it can help to difuse light towards the main door area. 4. Since the master bedroom door is at the end of …

Dear Dominique, Please see below:- You can find the information at the following url:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-colours.htm A good example is the " Finding a Good House Report " at http://www.geomancy-online.com It looks into three dimensions:- 1. A 360 degree overview of the Flying Star or Xuan Kong Feng Shui at every main entrance of each of the 24 directions (mountains). 2. In addition, the Eight House directions is also compared with Para 1 and Para 3. 3. Personal Ba Zi of the breadwinner i.e. element and strength in relation to direction of the main entrance. 4. Overall, the best house is one where all 3 (Para 1, 2 and 3) are favourable …

Further to what I mentioned, we should not succumb to two situations:- 1. Auto-suggestion If we were to scold a donkey "stupid", the animal would not have this thought. But if we were to scold a child, often enough that he/she is "stupid" one day, the child may take on this unfortunate circumstances. 2. Self-fulfilling Prophecy If we think too much or fear too much, as a result, we may become as it is or `like that' or everthing can go wrong, it will! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Dominique, A good foundation is always to try and seek the reasoning. The Chinese I-Ching coin can be analysed as followings:- 1. The outer circle (of the coin) Circle represents metal element 2. Colour of the coin The colour of the coin looks metallic i.e. copper coin. (metal element) 3. What is the square hole? If one looks carefully at the productive sequence: Square represents Earth element. What so good about this? Since square represents Earth, under the productive sequence: Earth supports or fuel Metal. Thus symbolically strengthening the Metal element. 4. Why use 6? (6 coins) Number 6 represents BIG or STRONG metal. 5. Why use Red string? Red represents fire.…

Dear Dominique, If one is using the count based on Flying Star Feng Shui:- 1. The maximum count is Number 9. Or we call this 9 purple. 2. The other way of using these numbers are the 81 interpretations based on the combinations of 9 leading to 81 interpretations. 3. Flying Star numbers is also used in house numbers or apartment house numbers. One can check out the free report: House Number for apartments or Flying Star (Xuan Kong vertical Flying Star charts). Go to http://www.geomancy-online.com 4. Feng Shui is about earth luck. 5. There is another Chinese divinity method called I-Ching or Yi-Ching. In fact, it was recorded fact that the following discoveries were based…
