Dear Angelia, 1. Thank you for your feedback. I am very glad that you have enjoyed this site:) 3. Yes, there is really no harm in doing so. However, as you had politely mentioned that hopefully neighbours do not complaint or worse still, report it to the police. 4. It would be more unlucky if we are met by a police patrol man knocking at our door at such an auspicious hour. 5. To be more practical, it should not be done during this time for the following reasons:- 5.1 For the sake of babies, we must be considerate to our neighbours. 5.2 If one stays in a landed property, one can see many neighbours turning on all their garden lights and interior lightings of the house. …

Dear Yang Ming, Yes, a Japanese entrance curtain can help to reduce the direct path of `air'. You can consider this as an alternative. But, there will still be a percentage of `air'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Further to what I had mentioned; United Overseas Land Limited associated project was this condo - The Eden Executive Condominium. Name: The Eden Type: Executive Condominium Location: TAMPINES ST 34 Total No of Units: 430 TOP Date: May 2003 (in batches) Tenure: 99 years w.e.f 12/9/2000 In my opinion, this developer is lesser known because it develops fewer residential projects than the Hong Leong Group and it's subsidiary City Developments Limited (CDL) and Far East Organisation put together. Some of United Overseas Land's recent projects include The Sunshine, Moulmein and Country Park. The url is as follows:- http://203.126.226.234/uol/residential.htm In my opinion, …

Hi Anon, Nntp Guest wrote: My boss upon seeking their master's advice, put a 6ft tall plant outside my room. According to my colleague, this is to prevent the person in that room (i.e. now its me) to leave the company. This means that I am stuck with this company whether I like it or not. And I have been feeling uncomfortable since the plant was placed outside my room. Is there a way to counter this and make me feel better working in that room? As you are only an employee in the office, it is difficult for you to put or suggest removal of the plant. So probably only thing you can do is attempt to add Metal to balance the plant. One suggest would be to have a 6 coins wit…

Dear Susan, In Traditional Feng Shui, the main door is the door where one usually have the house unit/number on the door. If you are constantly using the garage door, one can use the Compass School of Feng Shui i.e. either or both : Eight House Theory or Flying Star analysis to check which door is more favourable i.e. the garage door or the main entrance door to use. In such instances, one may add a unit no. to the garage door. I cannot provide any comments on the Bagua template as this usually refers to the `Black Hat Sect' and this form of Feng Shui is not recognised nor effective method. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ingrida, In most cases, I personally feel that it is not advisable to have a mirror face the bedroom door (for two reasons):- 1. A mirror may be a `double edge sword'. Without much investigation, we do not know whether it is a good or `bad' or `inauspicious' sector. If it is an inauspicious sector, it is felt that it can bounce back twice the bad luck. 2. Based on a belief. Often when we ask majority of Feng Shui practitioners, the consistent `answer' is that it is bad to face a mirror to any parts of the bed. As it is felt that when a person sleeps, his `spirit' moves off the body... What about a mirror facing the bedroom door. It may or may not be `true' but shoul…

Dear Nonie, There are various FS concepts and frankly, it may not be that bad as basing it on the south side / fire with water may not necessarily mean inauspiciousness. If you have pictures of it, feel free to post it in this forum. I can take a look at it. More importantly, Shapes and Form is a major consideration. One KEY area in Feng Shui is the accumulation of wealth and draining of `bad' water. Perhaps, it may be premature to say that this is inauspicious. Alternatively, it could spell auspiciousness. I am unable to comment fully at this moment without much info on the land form of your home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Michael, Please see below:- A Professional Geomancer or FS practitioner will not mix the sale of products with consultancy. If these two are placed together, then such a practise often becomes unreliable. Take a parallel situation. The case of Arthur Anderson situation. Arthur Anderson, which suppose to have a core business of accountancy, has side business e.g. management consultancy services. And, in such a situation, the accounting side would close their eyes since, they are earning lucrative money on consultancy services. Although Feng Shui is not as sophisticated as this, we can draw a parallel here. A Feng Shui site that provides both advise and selling e.g…

Dear Jeffery, Please see below: I hope everything went well this round. Perhaps that was a bad day. I believe, otherwise, there should not be an issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anooja, Under this current Period 8: 1. Past prosperity sectors are WS:7 and/or MS:7 This is already considered as past prosperity and not worth activating unless there is a double 7 (which in this case, a water position can be used to drown it). 2. Present prosperity sectors are now WS:8 and/or MS:8 If the sector meets the conditions e.g. if there is clear space such as in a living room and if this location has WS:8, then water can be used to activated wealth here. Similiarly check to see if a mountain star can be activated at section with MS:8 3. Future prosperity Since we are under Period 8, we should not forget about #9 since #9 is known as the future pro…

Dear Sky, 1. Currently, you are using just the Eight House Theory. The main importance of this theory looks at how suitable the house is especially to the breadwinner. 2. You can also check what is the intangible force for each of you in the bedroom. Where possible, this should be one of the good intangible force (if possible). Other than these two points, you can look at the house from other angles. 3. Since, you are referencing the house using the Eight House Theory, and if you do not want to apply the other compass theory such as Flying Star, you may have rely on your instincts. As you mentioned, since both of you feel positive about the house, this is a good sign. 4. …

Dear Yang Ming, Usually most house plans have both the individual layout plans and more importantly the site/plot plans. Most of the site/plot plans will have the North-South orientation. Here, we can use a protractor to measure the inclination of the house i.e. North/South -- East/West and then superimpose this grid to the layout plan. Here, one can orientate the individual layout plan to this larger site/plot plan. We can then have a `rough' or if done correctly a good `estimate' of the compass direction e.g. the main entrance door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lina, It is best that one truly understand the "root" reason or "basis" behind this being considered as inauspicious. The reason why it is considered inauspicious is based on "Commonsense approach" where if there is a fire in the home, a most likely location is from the kitchen / stove location. And because should a bedroom be above the kitchen; since fire rises upwards, it may be a cause of concern. On the practical side, it is more worth-while to instal smoke detectors in appropriate places than to rely on "Feng Shui" cures. Use of water in a bedroom or kitchen may often be not a good solution especially if there are electrical points and other electrical equi…

1. For info, usually for a professional Feng Shui audit; the first priority is to review the Ba zi of the Home (using Flying Star) and then it is nice to have say the individual rooms that suits the elements of say the person staying inside that room. 2.Suunto Compass Sorry, you had posted this question, and during the transition to a new server, that message was accidentally - erased.

Dear Janna, This is the basic story about the Magic 9 grid that you had mentioned:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-tortise.htm Our applied Feng Shui course has some information of it's origins. More importantly, these two maps especially, the Lo Shu diagram is used extensively under:- 1. Flying Star Feng Shui or Xuan Kong Feng Shui. We have a course on this. 2. 9-Star Ki This is one and the same school as Flying Star. But is a variant originating from Japan. It uses the Lo Shu diagram extensively and also the Five elements concept. The second most popular practise of 9-Star Ki is in the UK. Free free to do a SEARCH in this forum for specific terms like " F…

Dear Jodi, Perhaps, you can use a paint program to draw a simple outline of the layout plan and the location of the counter. And what category of goods are you selling also. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Guest, From a "Commonsense approach to Feng Shui" ideally, bedrooms should not be located at the centrepoint of the home: 1. Firstly, if none of the walls share an external wall, this often suggest that the middle room is "at the mercy" of open windows or it is quite difficult or harder for air flow to circulate to the centre or middle of the room. And most likely, there are "dead qi" around this area - if no proper ventilation. 2. Fire safety This is not so much of Feng Shui but as many of us are aware, if or should a real fire occur, most likely, the middle room could be engulfed with smoke. And not only this, rescue attempts or even planned escape is much hard…

Dear Lai Choo, You may like to goto http://www.geomancy-online.com to check out the Auspicious Date report(s) which takes into account one's Ba Zi element and provide the Auspicious dates. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, For a weak metal person, the best element to increase a weak metal is the earth element. Under the productive cycle, earth is better at increasing a weak metal as compared to `adding metal to metal'. Since, Earth element is generally constantly strong throughout the year, and that too much earth may trigger bad element elements like `sickness' or `misfortune', best to confine to to occassional wearing of e.g. clothes e.g. yellow. In your case, you can wear good or silver chain. But a pink quartz has qualities of the `fire element' - pink. Such a necklace may instead control metal and may not be beneficial.
