Dear Gordon, In my opinion, I have seen yin and yang symbol tattooed before on a body. Basically, there should not be any issue with it being tattooed other than on e.g. private parts or locations like battock or the bottom of the feet. Should therefore, tattooed in appropriate locations e.g. arm ... The yin and yang symbol is in total, comprise a wide field much like the Swastica symbol used by Buddhist on Buddha. (Unfortunately, the Germany Nazi SS copied and used this symbol also). Therefore, the yin-yang symbol unlike the Ba Gua symbol as shown under the url: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-pakua.htm In particular, the First Heaven Sequence Ba Gua trigr…

Dear Anon, 1. Thanks for your sketch of your plot of land. 2. Overall, your plot is not a `worst case' senario. Frankly, it is quite common to find such a layout plan. And in many situations, there should not be an issue here. Provided, here is no canal or large drain at the back of the house. Planting trees behind the house is a consideration. 3. Another approach done is shown in a rough sketch - attached to this message. It shows a semi-circular profile radiating outwards of the house. 4. First of all, this may not be applicable to most houses as it implies e.g. planting trees in a semi-arch along the `yellow' boundary of the house. Impratical as it may sound (because…

Dear Wasis, Here are some important points with regards to a pair of lions:- 1. Usually Feng Shui practitioners advise the use of lions - if it is for the home, at an inauspicious sector of the house. 2. Where possible the lions should face outwards of the house. 3. Lions placed in the house should not look too fierce or ferocious. They should look `peaceful' and happy. If they look fierce. They must never have their mouths face inside of the house. 4. Lions are used for:- 4.1 Either to ward off evil and /or 4.2 to bring in good luck into the house. 5. The common form of a pair of lions are made of stone. While those made of wood as what you have are often seen on roofs …

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Plants is ok. For 6-coins, generally, it has to be seen. Not hidden. Water on it's on holds no value Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hello, I too would like to know about my bed placement. I just bought a new house and would like to send you the floor plans. I was wondering how I would do that? I'm going to be moving next year to my new home, and I just found out that it's my year of the pig. I was told I should not move into my new Home next yr. I just don't have any other means of doing that earlier than next yr. But I would love for you to tell me if my bedroom is a good place for me. Thank you so much.

Hi Cecil, Good morning. Would like to seek some advice on the following issues: 1) House number: Sty #05 and Unit number 314. Hence when read together, it appear to be 5314. In Cantonese, the essence read turns out to be bad meaning. Pls. advice whether is there a remedy to enhance it. I also suspect that my present infertility condition may be due to the bad meaning of the unit number. 2) I was told by some of the colleagues that wedding photo should not place on top of the bed head board. This will cause conflict & argument with the spouse/partner. Is it true? 3) Is there any feng shui tips/object that could be placed in my bedroom to enhance the chances of having t…

Dear Linda, In my opinion, if the plum color looks more like bright orange or metal element, then, it is still acceptable given that your main door is at the South. Frankly, I am not too sure from your description whether plum color looks more like `gold color'. But if the color you mentioned represents gold color, then, gold or metal element is acceptable at the South (fire element sector). As metal (gold or white) is controlled by fire element. An acceptable combination under the 5 elements concept. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. If there is a straight path between the main door to the back e.g. window / balcony or door; then, it is best to use an `air-tight' screen/partition or divider. 2. The divider can be built e.g. bottom portion housing some cabinets and the top half can be e.g. a glass screen or display shelf. attached to each other, with 3. Yes, the above is acceptable, so long as it helps to divert qi or allows qi to meander around the screen into the house. Rather than directly flowing out or `leaking' out of the house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Andrew, 1. Five metres is in a very close proximity. 2. Yes, currently I believe, from your second floor, there is an obstructed view or clear space. 3. But if a new condominium development, perhpas, you may not have clear space (at your frontage anymore). 4. However, you mentioned that there is suppose to be a water position at the front (after the development). If this is the case, then, you should usually have clear space. 5. What type of water fountain will there be? If it is a circular fountain, you can still benefit from it. But if it is a wall-type of fountain where the wall is facing you and water falls into this wall, then, this type of fountain may not be…

Dear Rosita, In my opinion, usually, there are more to it than just by coincidence that the bathroom is located at your romance sector. Do try to check for any `leaks' in your home. Applying first, Shapes and Forms and doing an Eight House chart to see what are the intangible forces. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Natalie, There must be a leak in your new home. Try to apply Shapes and Forms Feng Shui first. Looke out of your main door and windows to find any poision arrows (if any). In addition, check the poistion of your toilet and other Shapes and Forms of your home. You can also use the free Eight House report (sitting position and sleeping position) at www.geomancy.net to find out more about suitable rooms, first. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Benjamin, We have this paid service. You can e-mail: cecil@geomancy.net for more information. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cecil Thank you so much for your quick reply. I may have given you the wrong information by attaching a 9-grid chart earlier. In fact, if measuing the main door from the centrepoint of the house, it is still within the NE section. I am attaching a sketch of pie chart for your reference. Based on your earlier reply, if my main door is at East sector, will I still be using the NE flying star chart? Sorry I am indeed very confused. Thanks for your kind advice, I have based on your advice to check on the house leaks. Please refer to my sketch. Are they consider a leak if the main door is opening to a see-through glass wall but not window? What about the mirror in the liv…

Dear Jeffery, Yes, since there is no possibility of changing to different directions, you have no choice anymore in using this theory. Feng Shui is about improving luck. You should instead try to improve luck in your home. As home has a higher influence over you. Try to apply or look at any `leaks' in your home and fix them. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Madan, In my opinion, should use day Master as Yin Earth (the previous day). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Max, Yes, Aloe Vera, although has gel inside it's limb's do look some what like cactus especially with its `trimmed' edges on the pointed leaves. If you must, so long as it does not face the main door directly. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Trying to attach my drawing again because I think it didn't succeed last time.

Thank you for your reply. Regarding drawing the sectors, our unit is an elongated rectangle, so there is a difference if I draw wedges or 9 rectangles. For instance, according to the 9 rectangles all of my son's room is in the south, whereas by the wedges radiating from the center at least half of it is in the southwest. My question about the computer was, how to decide in which sector to put it and which direction it should face, if the different users have different good or bad sectors or directions? Should I make it best for the person who spends the most hours at it? Or for the person who is in charge of technical maintenance and knows the most about it? Thank you Mir…

Dear Anon, 1. I assume here is that there is an open window facing the sharp pointed roof of your neighbours'. 2. If the above is true, then the concept " if it cannot be seen, it no longer becomes a threat' can be applied. 3. You can use a day curtain to screen the house from the pointed sharp edge. 4. If this is a solid wall and even if there is a pointed edge, it has no impact on your master bedroom. 5. It is common for a Ba Gua, can be used to neutralise such Sha (poison arrow) Qi. 6. It is best to stand at the window to confirm by looking out to guage if the sharp edge really points to your bedroom. If it is on the side, this is usually not a threat. Warmest Regards…

Dear Ajay, 1. What you mentioned is a simplistic view of Feng Shui. 2. Unfortunately, this type of Feng Shui is can best be described as `Kindergarten Feng Shui'. 3.These statements are too generalised. As it seems to be a model mass produced for the entire world. 4. For example, there is no basis to say that all NE directions is the knowlege area for all people, all over the world. A similiar example is that some Feng Shui practitioners highlight that South-West is our romance sector. This is not possible for everyone in the entire world. Please see below:- The more appropriate way to look at the issue is:- 1. The sector evaluated under Flying Star Feng Shui. 2. If o…

Dear Julie, Frankly, there are lots of consideration in Feng Shui: 1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. This is the most important consideration when picking a future house. For example, even if a direction is good to a breadwinner but if the Shapes and Forms is `lousy', it is as good as not finding a good home. 2. For homes that are more suited to you, you can try to use the Eight House Theory or find out more on how to use it:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm 3. For a plot of land, it is detrimental to make the house suit one e.g. by having the main door facing e.g. a hill - even if this is the most suitable door direction. This may bring calamity to the family. The ho…

Dear Dragana, Please see below:- Some Feng Shui practitoners say that South-West is the romance sector. In my opinion, this is too general. As it implies that every house on the planet has e.g. a love corner at a spot marked `X'. However, there is relatively no harm in placing a pair of mandarin duck. The only `harm' is that one burns an unnecessary `hole' in the pocket. The one who ultimately gains is the seller of such highly marked up products - that's all. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, Thank you for your information. Based on what you had supplied, your home belongs to a Period 7 house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. It is common (even locally in Singapore) for some Feng Shui practitioners to coin the idea of the wealth corner. 2. In fact, this is what the consumer wants. And some or many of such Feng Shui practitioners would be most happy to impart the idea. And if it makes the consumer happy, then to this practitioners it is fine to them. 3. In fact, on many many occasions even when I do local Feng Shui audits, 8 out of 10 clients would after the audit ask me where is their wealth corner? 4. As mentioned locally, many Feng Shui practitioners would (some based on their own concepts and ideas would `convince' the owner) that their wealth sector is at `X' marks the spot. …

Dear Michael, In my opinion, Traditional Feng Shui Schools do not practise fixed Ba Gua template or `Black Hat Sect' Feng Shui. Try to do a SEARCH in this forum for `Black Hat' and you can find out the answers why it is not applied here or by any other Traditional Feng Shui Schools. Warmest Regards, Cecil
