1. Unless one's home is a palace or at least more than 10,000 square feet and a bedroom is equivalent to or even bigger than some small homes put-together. 2. But, if it takes no more than 15 to 20 steps to walk from one side to another in a bedroom; then, it is not that practical to subdivide that room to look into that room's Feng Shui, sector by sector. 3. Many Feng Shui practitioners are "not-so-free" nor more importantly, find it not practical todo so. However, ifany of your room is the size of half a football pitch or an olympic sized pool, then go ahead...

Can I buy this property? 1. Bring along family members to find out how they feel about this house. 2. Those who have some understanding of Feng Shui can either check whether the home is suitable and if possible; apply Flying Star Feng Shui. 3. Or seek expert help from a Geomancer.

Dear Rochelle, In a very recent message in this forum under this same conference, a user has asked for advise on this issue. If your apartment is small, there is usually a constraint in correcting a spiral staircase. If you have a sketch, I would be happy to take a look at it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Erika, Feng Shui of the home is also like a `test' or examination. Where there is 100 marks. This is where, there are many principles involved in Feng Shui and we can try to allocate marks to each category. Feng Shui is all about increasing one's luck. In my opinion, the score or breakdown of scores in Feng Shui is as follows:- a. Shapes and Form of the House = 60% b. Compass School Feng Shui Eight House Theory = 20% Flying Star = 25% Total = 100 percent From the above example, one should consider the amount of luck derived from Shapes and Form Feng Shui. Homes that can accumulate luck and/or have poison arrows neutralised can have better Fe…

Dear Michelle, In my opinion, it is always (first choice) to place the bed based on good Shapes and Form Feng Shui. 1. Whenever one can, the bed should be on the opposite wall of the bedroom door. 2. If possible, it should lean against a wall. 3. If there are windows on the side of the bed; one should preferably leave a gap (or walking area) between the bed and the window. I am not too clear, about the position of the closet door you mentioned below. But you can `treat' it as a wardrope. Where there should be a gap (walking / movement) area between this location. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lotty, Frankly, with the limited information provided, I am not able to assist you. Overall, what you have mentioned should be related to (without analysis using other FS methods), the rooms should firstly try to conform with Shapes and Form FS. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, It is of course nice to have everything perfect. However, in reality, this isn't always possible. There will bound to be some imperfections in pre designed homesunless you are rich enough to construct your own perfect home.

Dear Fran, Thank you for taking the effort to draw an outline of your house in relation to the cul de sca. However, Apologies, I still cannot see a clear picture of the position of your main door in relation to the cul de sac. For example, if your house driveway is covering the stretch of road leading to your neighours in the cul de sac, I could not see a road leading in and out for the owners or your neighours. The main door seems protected from the road. But as you had mentioned, it faces the roof of a neighour. You further mentioned that there is a tree to block the view of the neighour's roof. This can be a double edged sword. The rationale is because, the tree trunk …

Dear Blanche, 1. I believe in proper application of Feng Shui, usually the colour co-ordination and colour / material of furniture should take into consideration the personal element of the person and his/her partner. 2. This is where, a person's element is determined i.e. weak or strong element. In addition to this, if one has a spouse, the binding element of the two are usually taken into consideration especially in the bedroom and areas such as the living and dining room. 3. The Flying Star analysis is also taken into consideration under Para 2 and the particular sector i.e. South West. 4. If para 1, 2 and 3 is not taken into consideration, then you may have best to go…

Dear Linda, If you are applying The Eight House Theory in Feng Shui, you can browse thru this resource located at: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm a. Here, you must first determine or locate the centrepoint of the house. b. From this centrepoint take a compass reading aimed at the main entrance door. Reference material on how to get the centrepoint of the house: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm c. Based on the above method, you would have then drawn the North--South grid of the compass direction and East--West grid. From this grid, you can then find out where is your bedroom located. For example, it could be the SE sector - as mentioned bel…

Dear Glenn, In this website, the direction of the main entrance door is determined from the centrepoint of the house. Therefore, NE 68 degrees is used here as the main entrance door when applying the tools here. Taking the direction of the main entrance door from the centrepoint is the standard method used throughout Flying Star School especially if the ordinary compass is used. If one uses the Loupan to analyse a direction, another method is used. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Susan, Since the house belongs to your father, then it would be appropriate for you to `change' house. You have indicated that you have several problems. We would be most happy to provide you with free paid reports specific to your problem if you can let us know in what area are the problems. For example: If it is relationship problems, we could provide you with the number of Pillars of Destiny reports - in relation to the number of persons you are trying to resolve the problem. If it is frequent sickness/misfortune or finance, Flying Star can help. But, you may have to do some home work e.g. take the compass reading. However, if it is analysing the home, you must ha…

Hi Anon, There are no such mircale items that can help you. Most of these items are created with the intention to make money. So they will of course tell you it is best you buy this item to protect yourself. However, these items does not come with a guarentee/warrenty card that say that if you use it, you will sure to be protected. The best way in our view, is as what we have been always been asking users to do. Enhance whatever element that you lack through, colours ofclothes/car/bedroom, a favourable career, house etc. If you can have as many areas of your life with more favourable element, this will help you reduce any inauspicious influence or impact for that year. …

Dear Carolyn, For painting red colour, it should be the "standard" red as found in the red/blue/green e.g. of TV sets. However, pink, purple can be considered in the spectrum of red colour. Red, is considered the most Yang of the `red' colour while pink or shades of it is considered `less yang' but still represent the fire element. As for pinkish orange, one may have to look closely or get a few persons to comment on the colour... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Blanche, This is acceptable because: 1. In general, for example, some consider books are like knifes with `cutting' edges while soap, lotions are usually rounded. 2. One has to spent time at the location. As the toilet is usually a transit area... and we do not spent all our time there, there should not be any issues there. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chee Siong, 1. There is no cure under the Eight House Theory as it cannot be broken down into the Five Elements concept. 2. The theory is very useful; if one has yet to purchase the house. And it serves as a good guide or indicator as to how suitable a house is to a person. 3. It is good to hear that the bedroom and study areas are good sectors for you. 4. Depening on your interests or non-interest in other Feng Shui methods; you may like to find out more on the other discipline of the compass school of Feng Shui: Flying Star Feng Shui. (It is used to further reduce any possibility of problems). Otherwise, if you personally feel that the current situation is acceptab…

Dear Oliv Sullivan, Oliv Sullivan wrote: I understand that it is not a good year to do "major" renovations in the NE this year. Does closing in a porch and turning it into a sunroom qualify as a renovation? It would involve installing windows, flooring, and moving an exterior door.Should a deck also be built in this same direction this year? The only direction that you really need to be concerned with is the Grand Duke direction West 270 degree. This sector should avoid any renovations if possible. Other analysis such as flying star etc impacts the house luck, so you need to check to see if it is advantages to renovate the house as it might change the house luck from …

Dear Alice, A windchime can be used without an attached crystal. A windchime can be used especially if it is used against a bad earth element i.e. #5 or bad earth / bad yellow. A windchime (especially if it metallic) can help to reduce the impact of the #5. If the porch falls under the influence of #5, then it can be used there. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Erin, Under the Eight House Theory, the important point is that if one does not spent time at a specific location, it has little impact on the person. Thus, even if the prosperity area/sector is at the toilet, if one does not spent time at that location, it has relatively little impact. It does not automatically mean that because the prosperity area is at the toilet, using the toilet ie. flushing it will mean flushing down one's wealth. This `prosperity area' is only but one of the many other sectors within a specific theory and accounts for a smaller percentage of luck. Warmest Regards, Cecilh

Dear Chee Kiat, In my opinion, there is really not much one can do in such a situation especially since this is the building. Since the toilets are there, it can be quite different from a home especially if the ratio of toilet area is much smaller than the entire building and in most cases, the toilet bowls may not be exactly at the centre or ideally should occupy one external wall. (if possible). What is more important here is that where possible, your office's main door should not be facing the toilet entrance. I believe this is not so; in your case. It would be better if the toilet has double doors or an extra door; leading into the male/female toilet or an individual…

Dear Mimi, Sound economic sense previals over Feng Shui with regards to setting up a business: 1. What is the pedestrian traffic flow to the shopping centre? 2. Is this shopping centre meant for a specific type of business e.g. electronics plaza? health/health science related shopping centre? 3. What is the business model / business plan i.e. is the business viable? Or is the business based on hope or a fad? 4. For example, three to four years back, I often receive calls from `businessmen' who wanted me to Feng Shui, their (Taiwanese) model of `bubble tea' outlets. 5. These bubble tea is roughly the equavalent of something like the western " milk shake " business. These …
