Hi Anon, I am not sure how you got the older analysis module loaded even though I disabled it long time ago. It seems that an old link to that is still available and it is analysing the results as it is disabled. As a weak Earth, generally:- 1. Fire and Earth makes you stronger. (Favourable) 2. Wood destroy Earth, so weaken it. (Unfavourable) 3.Since Metal exhaust Earth, it also makes it weak. At the same Metal actually destroy Wood, which weaken Wood. Thus Metal is a double influence. However, to make it simple, Metal by default exhaust an element first before destroying it. As such the first influence comes first. (Unfavourable) 4. Water is your wealth, as a weak …

Dear Nadia, Please see below:- Yes, a small courtyard at the center of the house is OK. Except that one must avoid (never) have a tree or plant at this centre point. A tree/plant at this centrepoint combined together with the courtyard, is the symbol of `KUN' and an inauspicious. Yes, this is acceptable. So long as the road is parallel to the main door. And there is usually some distance e.g. at least 1 metre distance from the main door. It can still be located a the north east, but in the layout of the kitchen, avoid having the kitchen stove on a NE alignment i.e. the kitchen stove must not along the `imaginery' line of this NE or rest along this NE line. It …

Dear Anon, You may like to review the attached resource on the Devil's gate:- http://sg.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-gate.htm and on Dangers of underground water http://sg.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-under.htm Please see below:- In general, water positions behind the house is not ideal. And also, the main entrance door should not open to a house that is literally built on a slope. For example, the living room etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil 1. Feng Shui originates from China. And it was imported to Japan. Many Japanese practitioners apply 9-Star Ki which is one and the same as Flying Star Feng Shui. 2. A large tree is `dangerous' as it was felt that a spirit …

1. One of the key success factors is to determine what are the Flying Star numbers good or bad that is at the facade of a specific area of a home. 2. Thus, if the home isa landed property with four "facings"; it is good to encourage qi to flow either thru an opening such as a door or a window. 3. Therefore, look out for good flying star numbers such as: current prosperity stars #8 and future-future prosperity stars such as #1; often #9 is favourable also provided it is not "mixed" with #5 or #2. 4. From the above example under Para 3, if say; your main entrance door has either a mountain star #8 or a water star #8 or better still double #8's then; it is 10 times better…

Dear Anon, In Feng Shui, we always try to find a `breadwinner' i.e. the person who brings in the most money. When using the Eight House Theory, try to check that the death/disaster sector is not at the main entrance door area. We should not have a micro view of the situation. In using the Eight House, you must also find out e.g. what is the intangible force affecting your bedroom. And other rooms you spent time at. It generally tells you how well suited are you to your home. You can also use the Eight House Theory to find a good sitting position e.g. facing a good direction for study, work... Other than this, the Eight House Theory has limited applications. Warmest Rega…

Dear Mark, I wish you a warm welcome to this forum! In traditional Feng Shui, there are two major schools:- 1. Shapes and Forms 2. Compass Schools. You have correctly pointed out that Compass School Feng Shui is one form of Feng Shui that can be used to help increase one' luck. Basically, Feng Shui (earth luck) and Chinese Divinity methods and the use of Ba Zi (Heaven's map) have a single purpose i.e. to try and help one increase our luck. If you have the time to read many of the messages in this forum, one may come to the conclusion that: 1. Sector Feng Shui or paying homage to a corner... This does not bring significant luck or money to a person. I have given the il…

Dear Kaushal, Actually, it is known as " Five Ghosts " or " Spook " under the Eight House Template in this website. Well it is a term used in Chinese to refer to " Wu Gui " which literally means Five Ghosts. It is just a term to specify the sector and that this is not an auspicious sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Laurelle, I agree that there can be `contradictions' in the application of Feng Shui. Should we place plants in the home? Even if one's element is for example an Earth person. We should also look at the external environment i.e. `threats'. `Threats' is an important component in how we apply Feng Shui. For example, if there is a threat to the main entrance... we try to neutralise it by using an element that destroys it. In the home, we should try to `cure' or neutralise `threats' or imbalances in the various sectors. This can be independent of our personal element. For example, if a cure required `wood' element or plants, we can still introduce it into the home. Even …

Dear CJ, Frankly, there is no right or wrong answers, here. On a macro level, often, a developer or owner of the entire building may have it checked. Thus, a macro level Feng Shui is done e.g. the facing direction of the complex. Especially for landscaping of the surrounding land area of the complex e.g. water feature, landscaped rock / formation. In many instances, if one is merely a tenant, and hires a FS practitioner, then often, a FS practitioner may perform a micro level Flying star analysis instead of just taking the facing direction of the entire building. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. For those who stay in a landed property, a Ming Tang or semi-circular water position at the frontage radiating outwards would be a good cure against such twin `joss-sticks'. Here, the `water' symbolically put's out the "fire" or "smoke" of the `joss-sticks'. 2. As you live in an apartment, it would seem not appropriate (or impractical) to place a water position at the balcony. 3. If you are living especially in the Far East, one may use the Ba Gua mirror placed above the balcony (mid-point). 4. Alternative cures include:- 4.1. Placing two forks (as in forks and spoon) where each fork is placed on each side of the balcony pointing towards each `joss-stick'. B…

Dear Donna, In my opinion, when building a new home, the front door is not the only consideration. Serious consideration should also go towards the entire house taking into consideration the external environment, the site and the land. For the main door, it is best or advantages if it is an excellent location for the breadwinner. For other members of the family (even if one owns the plot of land); try to look at locations where it can be excellent or good for them especially in the bedroom area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rochiel, Frankly, (in my opinion) there is not much one can do unless:- 1. false ceiling to level the roof. But this is often not practical. 2. use a 4 poster bed and use material e.g. lace or other cloth material to cover the top (to act as a roof). Unlike a beam, which can be suppressed a graduating roof is `difficult' to cure. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, Can We put sofa and altar in same wall? Thanks.

Dear Collen, For a more accurate definition of the significance of a missing corner or protusion, you can look up the url below:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/building.htm Here are the interpretation of sectors with missing corner:- 1. North : Will meet with an accident. 2. North-East : Occupant will have poor planning. 3. East : Will be easily discouraged or suffer from low morale. 4. South-East : Daughters will not be successful in love affairs. 5. South : Will mix with bad company or be cheated. 6. South-West : Have constant bad luck. 7. West : Will frequently flirt around. 8. North-West : Will have frequent quarrels. For an apartment, Feng Shui cures with regards to apa…

Dear Alex, In my opinion, for a 1 room flat/apartment; usually, it would depend greatly on the `larger' building and site. In my opinion, since this is a 1 room flat, one may not get a `Quantum Leap' in Feng Shui by `applying' FS principles here. This is because many of the concepts of Compass School may not be easily applied as the area is pretty small. Here, one important point which I feel is that if one cannot achieve a `Quantum Leap' in Feng Shui, the `returns' in using FS may not be that effective i.e. it is like spending $1.00 to get back only $0.80 cents or less or even if we can get back a small profit of `$1.01 cents is this good enough. For, small apartments, i…

Dear Miss Quiss, 1. Not all situations are the same as it also depends on the layout of the house especially since you mentioned that there is an `east' wall immediately backing the fish tank. 2. If you have placed the fish tank for quite some time i.e. more than 3 months without any effect i.e. particularly sickness for the spouse; and/or finance keepings going out. If one does not face difficulties as mentioned under Para 2, this is fine. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Unfortunately, for a unsuitable house there is very little you can do to correct the suitability unless you can change your main door or facing direction. Usually, if the house falls under death or disaster for both person or at least for the breadwinner, the long term solution is to move out to a more suitable house, otherwise it is very difficult for you to enjoy the full amount of luck from the house. I know that moving out is the ha…

Dear Xenia, To be honest, with limited information available, it is difficult to comment based strictly on Feng Shui concepts/principles or issues with it. In general, for a large bedroom, a sink is acceptable (especially nowadays, many modern homes have an attached bathroom but in addition, these larger homes with larger bathrooms have a wash or powder room type of area. In fact, it is very common to find even single storey homes with the bedroom at the frontage area of the home. Try to make the home as comfortable as possible for yourself and family members! Usually, for an old home, a fresh coat of paint, would be nice to refresh the home. And avoid too much …

Dear Kevin, As the house is `shared' not much you can do here. However, since you mentioned that you are a weak wood person, you can enhance yourself with the following:- 1.Look under the Luck Pillars to see whether the season has any influence on your element i.e. weak wood. For example, if the current 10 year season is " Metal " element, this may not ba an auspicious period. And the cure is to enhance yourself with Water element or Wood element. For example, if the current 10 year season is " Water " element, this is considered favourable to you. For a weak wood person, you should try to enhance yourself with (first: Water) or (secondary: Wood element). For example, you…

Any suggestions on what I can do to make this home suitable for both of us? I have searched for a front door cure, but, have had no luck. Thanks very much for your advise, Diane First question that you should be asking is, are you the breadwinner or your husband? A house must fit the breadwinner. This way the house will bring luck to the breadwinner who provides for the entire family. It is quite difficult to get a house that will fit family members. So the rest of the family members just need …

Dear Kay Song, Traditional Feng Shui sites like this practise the following concepts: 1. Heaven Luck Do a search for Pillars of Destiny or Ba Zi or Eight Characters. 2. Earth Luck 2.1 This is truly Feng Shui or the earth luck. 2.2 In Traditional Feng Shui; there are two major schools: - Shapes and Forms - Compass School: Eight House and Flying Star 3. Human or man luck 3.1 This is the most mis-used area. 3.2 For example, go to any Feng Shui site and they often claim that e.g. 3-legged toad or some figurine are very good for us. 3.3 However, there is always a hidden agenda behind this. Imagine, in China a 3-legged toad can be carved for as little as US$15 - cheap labour a…
